Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 50 'Torture' Jiraiya

"I'm not sure, maybe she's sick?"

Shiraku Yosuke shook his head and said that although he was closest to Ino in Class A, they hadn't known each other for very long.

"If you're really worried, why don't you just visit her at home? Sakura, you should know where Ino's house is, right?"

Sakura Haruno nodded, then hesitated, saying, "I know, but if I just come here like this..."

After speaking, Sakura couldn't help but turn her gaze to Yosuke Shirakumo's face, and the expression in her eyes was something even Naruto Uzumaki could understand.

After some thought, Shirakumo Yosuke decided to accompany Haruno Sakura to Yamanaka Ino's house. Sakura felt that her relationship with Ino had improved so much, and she cherished this improvement, which was why she asked Shirakumo Yosuke to accompany her on the visit, so as not to seem impolite.

Sakura Haruno originally planned to go directly there, but Yosuke Shirakumo took her to the shopping street and bought a gift and sweets before heading to the Ino residence.

However, when the two arrived near Yamanaka Ino's house, led by Haruno Sakura, Shirakumo Yosuke immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The scent of incense and candles was too strong; they had been burning for at least several hours, even masking the fragrance of flowers. The information he had passively gathered allowed Shiraku Yosuke to quickly deduce that someone had passed away, and that the funeral was being held by the Yamanaka family.

Continuing forward, they turned a corner and arrived at the front and back of the Yamanaka family's house, where Shiraku Yosuke and Haruno Sakura witnessed the funeral being held at the Yamanaka family's residence.

"Isn't that the Ino family's house? How come it is?"

Sakura Haruno covered her mouth in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.

"Since you're here, let's go pay a visit, Sakura."

Baiyun Youjie said, "It's fine if they don't know, but it would be very impolite to leave after reaching the door and let others know."

Sakura was a little bewildered, but she still followed Shirakumo Yosuke. After explaining the situation in front of the Yamanaka house, she was led inside.

The two then saw Ino in front of the mourning hall set up at the Yamanaka family's house. Ino's face was full of sadness and grief, and she was only a little surprised to see Shirakumo Yosuke and Sakura.

When Shirakumo Yosuke came in, he learned the ritual process from someone else and went through it with Sakura. Then, he was taken to another room by Yamanaka Ino. It was also because Ino's mother was worried that Ino was too sad and tired, so she asked her to receive Shirakumo Yosuke and Sakura.

"Ino."

Sakura held Ino's hand, looking helpless and unsure of what to say to comfort her. She was only nine years old, and although she knew that funerals were sad things, she had no idea how to comfort the grieving Ino.

Yosuke Shirakumo was the same; he simply stood silently to the side, but he was thinking more deeply than Sakura Haruno.

Yamanaka Inoichi held a high position in Konoha, serving as the head of the interrogation squad and one of the clan leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. The death of such a person during a mission meant that war was imminent.

Recalling what Tsunade had told him about the Cloud Ninja envoy coming to demand him, Shirakumo Yosuke suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis.

Someone is targeting him, right here in Konoha Village!

Shirakumo Yosuke could roughly guess who this person was, but if he wanted to know what method he used, he would probably have to activate his ability and wander around Konoha for a long time to gather all the information.

After a while, Yamanaka Ino calmed down, and since it was getting late, Shirakumo Yosuke and Haruno Sakura said their goodbyes and left.

However, not long after they left the mountain house, someone approached them.

Shirokumo Yosuke paused for a moment, then said to Haruno Sakura beside him, "Sakura, you should go back now. I'm sorry I can't see you off."

"Eh? No need to apologize. Yosuke-kun, I'll be going now. See you at school tomorrow."

Sakura wasn't stupid. She noticed the tall, white-haired man next to her and wanted to ask if it was okay, but when she saw Shiraku Yosuke waving, she obediently turned and left.

After Sakura left, Shirakumo Yosuke turned to Jiraiya and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Oh? It's nothing, I just saw you guys after leaving the Yamanaka house, and it was just on my way."

Jiraiya scratched his head and thought to himself, "This kid is far too alert. He knows I'm here just by looking at him."

"You just came from the Yamanaka family, so you must know about Yamanaka Inoichi."

"Things? Besides the passing of Yamanaka Inoichi-senpai, what else do I need to know? Do I need to know that his death is related to me, so I need to do something or have some kind of reaction?"

Shirokumo Yosuke asked very calmly, but his words seemed to hit the nail on the head regarding what Jiraiya was thinking.

Adding to the fact that Jiraiya already harbored a deep-seated prejudice against Hakuun Yosuke because of the potential destruction of Mount Myōboku, this revelation struck at his core, making his subsequent words somewhat blunt: "I don't need you to do anything, but I hope you remember that someone has sacrificed a lot for you!"

"Oh"

"What are you laughing at?"

"I was just thinking about myself. Back in the mountain village, I was lonely, so I got a pet. But it was so annoying when it was in heat, so I asked Mr. Zenichi to neuter it. But as Mr. Zenichi was doing it, I kept telling myself that it was for its own good, that neutering it would allow it to live a few more years. How similar!"

Shirokumo Yosuke said with a smile. His smile reminded Jiraiya of an acquaintance, and the calm tone he used to talk about things related to himself was very similar to that person in Jiraiya's heart.

"Pets and humans can't communicate, so I don't know if it's grateful to me or hates me. I did give it food, but I also deprived it of the ability to reproduce. Most importantly, it was my decision!"

Jiraiya's smile vanished, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Nothing much, just a spur-of-the-moment decision?"

Bai Yun Youjie said with a smile, his assessment of the current situation was that it was safe and that he could escape; his 'omniscience' ability would give him the advantage of foresight, and his Sage Chakra would enhance his strength, reaction speed, and other aspects in all aspects.

In short, Sage Mode gives Yosuke Shirakumo a foundation close to that of a Jonin, and his 'omniscience' ability can narrow the gap between him and Kage-level ninjas. As long as it's not a threat like a Tailed Beast Ball, he can leave safely.

Tsunade was helping him, and she wanted to help him in every way, but Konoha imposed restrictions on her, which led her to impose those restrictions on Yosuke Shirakumo.

"Speaking of which, what was Jiraiya-sama's wish before?"

"Find the chosen one, and then bring peace to the ninja world."

Jiraiya didn't know why Shiraun Yosuke was asking this. After hesitating for a while, he finally voiced his wish, even though it was no longer possible to fulfill it.

"No need to look anymore, I am it!"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Shirokumo Yosuke repeated himself once more: "I said I am the chosen one, I can bring peace to the ninja world!"
