Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 226 Mission Failure

Nara Shikamaru is sick and will be unable to work for a while.

The news quickly spread throughout Konoha, since Sakura was the current director of Konoha Hospital and a close friend of Shikamaru.

After Nara Shikamaru was brought over, Sakura personally diagnosed and treated him. However, after his mental exhaustion was cured, Nara Shikamaru remained listless and refused to say a word.

It's the same no matter who asks.

Sakura couldn't do anything about it. Although her medical ninjutsu was among the best in the ninja world, Nara Shikamaru's injuries were clearly mental or psychological. No matter how good Sakura's medical ninjutsu was, she couldn't cure that.

After Sakura came out of the hospital room, Sai and Ino immediately went up to her and asked, "How are you, Sakura?"

Sakura Uchiha shook her head and said, "The mental fatigue has eased, but Shikamaru isn't talking now because he doesn't want to. What happened these past few days? Why is Shikamaru acting like this?"

Sai and Ino exchanged a glance after hearing this, and then Sai said, "I don't know. Shikamaru hasn't even been to the Hokage Building these past few days, but I went to see him a few days ago. It might be related to Temari!"

"Temari? Wasn't she just here? She said she was going back to get something and would be back in a bit."

Ino looked around but didn't see Temari return, so she sighed and said, "With Shikamaru down, even the plans we made have stopped. Now I don't know whether I should let Boruto continue the plan."

"Let's wait a few days and see, maybe Shikamaru will recover."

Sai began to speak, but just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly saw Temari walking over with her head down, carrying a package in her hand.

Ino and Sakura also noticed Temari, so the three of them immediately went to her. Sai was the first to ask, "Temari, what happened to Shikamaru?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm just too tired."

Temari lowered her head and spoke softly. She naturally knew why Nara Shikamaru had become like this. It was all her fault for trusting others too rashly and thinking that this matter would be kept secret, but Shikamaru probably knew from day one.

While Shikamaru was receiving treatment, she went back home to tidy up and found the videotape that wasn't completely smashed.

It's highly likely that Shikamaru saw her performance from day one, meaning he probably knew what she was saying.

Temari felt a wave of dizziness as she thought about this. For a time, she had been consumed by physical desire, her mind clouded, and under the influence of Shirakumo Yosuke's words, she had uttered many disrespectful things about Shikamaru and their marital relationship.

But how could Temari possibly reveal these things? If she did, their family would be even more ruined.

The reason I went back just now was to deal with those remaining things.

"Is it just because you're too tired?"

Sai, completely disbelieving, continued, "Temari, we're both Shikamaru's friends. If anything happens, we'll help him. Besides, I went to see Shikamaru a few days ago, and he said he wanted to see you. What's going on?"

"I have no idea."

"How could I not know?"

Before Sai could finish speaking, Yamanaka Ino punched him hard, then dragged him aside and scolded him, "Idiot, didn't you see that Temari was also very sad? If she doesn't want to talk about it, you're just reopening her wounds."

"But Shikamaru..."

"Let's ask Shikamaru again after he's feeling better. If he still doesn't want to talk about it, then it's a matter between him and his wife, so don't ask!"

Yamanaka Ino sighed deeply and said that she had no complaints about Sai in other aspects, but she really had no sense of judgment at all.

If it were a village matter, Shikamaru and Temari would have already told them, but they've both been keeping it a secret. It's a matter between a married couple, so why are you, an ANBU captain, getting involved?

After being instructed by Yamanaka Ino for a while, Sai gave up asking questions.

Ino then prepared to leave, saying to Sakura, "Sakura, I'm leaving Shikamaru in your care. I have to go back; without Shikamaru, I don't know if Boruto's plan will even work."

Sakura, also very concerned about Sasuke Uchiha, asked worriedly, "Is it going to stop?"

Ino shook her head: "Not necessarily. I'll go ask Kakashi-sensei again."

Although she taught Boruto some ways to interact and talk with Yosuke Shirakumo, the specific information to be extracted was still up to Shikamaru Nara, Konoha's top strategist.

But given Shikamaru's current state, he certainly won't be able to return to his previous appearance anytime soon.

------

Inside the Hokage's office, Kakashi covered his face and sighed after hearing the story.

"Has Shikamaru and Sakura gone to see it?"

Ino Yamanaka replied, "Sakura has already treated Shikamaru, but it wasn't a mental issue; it seems to be related to Temari. In any case, medical ninjutsu is useless against Shikamaru."

Tsunade, who was standing nearby, said, "Since Sakura can't do anything, it's probably no use for me to go. If the damage wasn't caused by genjutsu or spirit-type ninjutsu, then medical ninjutsu really can't help."

Although she was a medical expert, she hadn't used medical ninjutsu for over a decade after stepping down as Hokage.

On the contrary, Sakura has been treating others at the Konoha Hospital, and her medical ninjutsu may have already surpassed hers.

Kakashi scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled. "So what do we do now? Should we continue, Lady Tsunade?"

"You've been involved in more village affairs than I have, so you should make the decision, Kakashi. But I have a feeling this approach isn't quite right. Even if the other party doesn't have malicious intent, they might get angry if they know we're trying to extract information."

"But he had absolutely no intention of communicating with us."

Kakashi sighed and said that this was the most troublesome thing for them; the only clue they had was Yosuke Shirakumo, but he had no intention of dealing with them, so they could only try to extract information from him.

This is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.

"Ino, please, let Boruto try it out first. I've already sent the Anbu to find out where Yosuke Shirakumo is."

dong dong!

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door and came in.

After Sai entered, he nodded to Ino and then said, "Lady Tsunade, Kakashi-sensei, we've found Shirakumo Yosuke's whereabouts. He just arrived in Konoha."

"I didn't expect Kawaki to be discovered so quickly. That's good, saves us from wasting time."

Hakuun Yosuke originally intended to have his shadow clones search the entire ninja world and take immediate action once they found a Kara organization, but he didn't expect Kawaki to be brought to Konoha.

Isshiki's next reincarnation vessel has already adapted to the power of the wedge, and it is impossible for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to abandon Kawaki.

As long as we stay by Kawaki's side, we can wait for the first move.

"But this is too slow. I'd better let them take the initiative."

With a sudden thought, Shirokumo Yosuke created a shadow clone, intending to have all the newspapers in the ninja world publish news that Kawaki was hiding in Konoha; that way, the Kara organization would have no choice but to come after receiving the intelligence.

After the shadow clone left, Shirokumo Yosuke began to stroll around Konoha.

"Their development over the past decade is still inferior to my Konoha; their planning was too chaotic."

After wandering around for a while, Shiraku Yosuke shook his head and thought to himself.

High-rise buildings are interspersed with small buildings, many of which are twenty or thirty years old. Baiyun Yangjie even knows where the ninja clan's territory is. Although prosperous, it has a chaotic feel to it.

The village of Konoha, where Yosuke Shirakumo lives, has already undergone a large-scale construction project. The ninja clan territories have been redistributed and replanned, and it is much more prosperous and looks much cleaner and more comfortable than here.

After walking for a while, Shirokumo Yosuke suddenly felt someone running towards him.

"Uncle Yosuke."

Three people ran up behind him. When Shiraku Yosuke turned around, he saw Uzumaki Boruto and two other people. However, based on their attire and appearance, they should be Mitsuki, the artificial son of Uchiha Sarada and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru on his side has also mastered cloning technology, but he has many assistants, so he has not been able to clone any helpers, and has only cloned many replacement bodies for himself.

On the other side, Orochimaru's proudest creation is himself. He can freely open and close his Rinnegan body and has a lot of chakra. Although he hasn't fought much, his strength is in no way inferior to Sasuke Uchiha.

Bai Yunyang and the other two ran up to him and chuckled, saying, "Why are you calling me Uncle Bai Yun? Shouldn't you call me Lord Bai Yun?"

Boruto Uzumaki paused for a moment, then scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Haha, doesn't this sound more friendly? Besides, aren't you and my dad good friends too?"

"Your father and I aren't good friends. My Naruto Uzumaki from the ninja world isn't married yet. And you know about the butterfly effect? ​​Unless it's just a tremor on that day, that hour, or even that second, even if your mother's actions were slightly different afterward, the child born wouldn't be Boruto Uzumaki."

Upon hearing Yosuke Shirakumo's words, Boruto Uzumaki scratched his head, barely understanding a word: "Uncle Yosuke, what does that mean?"

"You're talking about mating, right? If there's even the slightest change, Boruto, you'll disappear in another world."

Mitsuki spoke up to remind him that he was an artificial human and didn't know much about sex, but he happened to know a little about it.

Boruto, blushing, quickly stopped him, saying, "Eh, Mitsuki, why are you saying such things!"

Sarada also turned her head and pushed up her glasses; sex and mating were indeed a bit too early for her.

Shiraku Yosuke said, "He's right, that's why I know Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, but you and Sarada Uchiha could never have been born in my ninja world."

Upon hearing this, Sarada asked anxiously and in confusion, "Why? What if?"

"There's no 'what if'. Uchiha Sasuke is about to marry Uzumaki Karin, and your mother is Haruno Sakura, right? Even if the birth dates are the same, it can't be Sarada."

Bai Yunyangjie paused for a moment, then continued, "Although my ninja world has experienced more wars than this one, its potential far surpasses it. My ninja world only has one nation and one ninja village; it has already developed 70 million square kilometers of land and is now expanding to the remaining 200 million square kilometers. In the future, it will also develop the ocean, the moon, and outer space."

"And your ninja world can see the future at a glance; the Five Great Nations will still be the Five Great Nations. Once Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha die, you will return to the state you were in more than sixty years ago, before the First Shinobi World War."

"The current Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are so similar to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back then. This is all you can do. But it's too early for you. Enjoy the ninja game."

Originally, they were trying to extract information, but Shirakumo Yosuke's words silenced Boruto, Mitsuki, and Sarada.

Even Yamanaka Ino and the others who had been listening in fell silent. They didn't know what the future of their ninja world would be like, as Shirakumo Yosuke had described, but they were shocked to hear that the other party's ninja world had developed to that extent.

Despite being more than ten years apart in terms of era, their development is so different.

However, after realizing what was happening, Boruto clenched his fist and said unwillingly, "Uncle Yosuke, we're not playing a ninja game anymore, we're real ninjas now!"

Boruto Uzumaki used to love ninja games, but after learning about the suffering his father endured, he resolved to become a real ninja, just like Sasuke Uchiha, secretly supporting the Hokage.

"A true ninja must at least assess the danger level of a mission. Just like a genin wouldn't accept an S-rank mission, you three genin don't even have a team leader, yet you dare to try and extract information from me?"

After a light laugh, three chakra chains extended from behind him, making a clattering sound in the air.

"The person who gave you the mission is an idiot, Boruto Uzumaki. I know you and I helped Sasuke Uchiha, but that was because of another Sasuke, do you understand?"

"If we disregard all of that, then your attempt to extract information from me is tantamount to suicide. And is this all you can assess about me? Are you suggesting a few low-ranking ninjas are capable of carrying out this kind of mission?"

As Boruto and his two companions looked on in shock, chakra chains instantly bound them together, leaving them no time to react.

Mitsuki and Sarada Uchiha tried to struggle, but Yosuke Shirakumo's chakra chains contained Yin-Yang Release properties, making it impossible for them to break free.

After struggling fiercely, Sarada Uchiha said unwillingly, "I just wanted to know about Dad, what's wrong with that?"

"Your father is fine, so what's wrong with him coming back a few days later? If he really went to the ninja world where I live, he might like it more, since he has to keep doing missions here."

After finishing his sentence, Shirokumo Yosuke waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll stay in Konoha for a while and then leave. Don't bother me!"

After saying that, he swung the chakra chain and threw the three of them towards the Hokage Building.

The three figures flew like swift eagles, and a few seconds later they were thrown to the roof of the Hokage Building. Just as they were about to fall, a burst of chakra suddenly erupted from their bodies, allowing them to land safely.

Boruto Uzumaki sat up and immediately called out, "Sarazana, Mitsuki, are you alright?"

"Hmm, not injured at all. It seems that what happened just now was a warning."

Mitsuki stood up, dusted himself off, and looked around before saying, "That's impressive. They threw us all the way here from that far away and we're still unharmed. Boruto, looks like the mission failed!"
