Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 53 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Let me think about it some more

"Kakashi, even you dreamed about the future?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted Kakashi to explain in detail, but he quickly realized that he needed to call En and Koharu over for this, so he raised his hand to stop Kakashi and sent the Anbu to fetch them.

A short while later, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Nara Shikaku, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others all arrived at the Hokage's office.

After everyone arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi had Kakashi tell them what had happened. Upon hearing Kakashi talk about his dream about the future, everyone in the room was filled with surprise and astonishment.

Tsunade, biting her finger in confusion, asked, "Why is it that more than a month has passed, and someone is still dreaming about the future? Could it be that these aren't all happening at the same time?"

Mitokado Homura asked, "Besides Kakashi, are there any other people in the village?"

"I don't know. If there is any, they should report it to the Hokage Building."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "If someone deliberately concealed it, the Anbu wouldn't have been able to find out. Besides, didn't people from other ninja villages also appear around the same time as Kakashi?"

Soon, the ANBU inside the room finished recording what Kakashi had just said. After everyone had read it, they found that there was much less information about the future than last time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe. He believed that Kakashi had no reason to hide anything, but the information he revealed was even less than that of Danzo, who had concealed much. That is, the later the dream occurred, the less one knew about the future.

However, the merging of the ninja world and the development of another world does align with what Tsunade said and also with what Jiraiya said, betraying Konoha for the sake of Mount Myōboku.

After reading the intelligence, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Jiraiya. As his teacher, he naturally knew what kind of person Jiraiya was.

They obtained some unexpected information this time, but it seems there's not much they can do about it. Although they know that an alternate world will be developed in a dozen years, what can they do now?

"If things are as you say, should we train Shirakumo Yosuke?"

After a moment of silence in the room, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke up and asked a question. Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and the others were taken aback and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in unison.

Without much thought, Tsunade immediately replied, "Of course! With Yosuke Hakukumo's talent, he'll soon become another Fourth Hokage, and possibly even stronger!"

He quickly mastered the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest and could learn almost any ninjutsu very quickly. In just one month, he went from surpassing Sasuke Uchiha to becoming the top student in his grade after just learning chakra. Tsunade had no doubt about Yosuke Shirakumo's talent.

Even in her heart, she believed that it was quite possible for Shiraku Yosuke to surpass her grandfather.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "What about the others' opinions, En? What do you think?"

Apart from Tsunade, everyone else remained silent. Even when asked a question, Mitokado Homura shook his head and said, "Hiruzen, it's your decision."

"What other decision is there?"

"Let me think about it some more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Tsunade, saying that he also needed to consider the opinions of others. Now, not only Tsunade was needed, but also Jiraiya's power. He would at least wait until he had more contact with Yosuke Shirakumo before making any decisions.

Then Hiruzen Sarutobi took the opportunity to talk to the people in the house about the Hidden Cloud Village.

It is almost certain that the Hidden Cloud Village intends to start a war. Even the ninja battalion has been assembled, and many spies from other ninja villages have been eliminated from the village.

If it weren't for the fact that the spies sent by Konoha were quick to escape, this intelligence would never have been sent back.

The Iwa ninja have remained silent for the time being. Perhaps they intend to wait for Konoha and Kumo ninja to weaken each other before joining the war, or perhaps they have no intention of joining the war at all.

This news relieved Konoha. If Tsunade and Jiraiya worked together, they would be able to deal with Kumogakure. If they had to deal with two villages at the same time, Konoha would have had a very difficult time and might have had to use all their strength.

On the other side, the Ninja Academy

It was another peaceful day, and Yamanaka Ino came to school, but she wasn't in a good mood; however, this was to be expected, given what had happened at home.

Yosuke Shirakumo wasn't very good at comforting people, but since Ino Yamanaka was sitting next to him, he took out a pudding and handed it to her.

Ino glanced at it, then whispered her thanks, "Thank you, Yosuke-kun."

Since becoming the top student in his grade in theory classes, Shiraku Yosuke has been studying other subjects on his own during class. Some of the books he borrowed from the library have proven quite useful, at least allowing him to gain a clearer understanding of the ninja world.

Furthermore, during his rest periods, Yosuke Shirakumo would summon a slug and ask it for advice on medical ninjutsu and the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest.

Shikkotsu Forest has no Sage Mode, or rather, the slug only has one Sage Mode, which is to give Sage Chakra a corrosive property similar to Lava Release. Even in taijutsu combat, the place where it touches Shirakumo Yosuke will produce a strong corrosive feeling.

In other words, after using the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode, Yosuke Shirakumo instantly transformed into a humanoid acid mist.

When school was over, Shiraku Yosuke packed up his things, intending to go straight home, but then he noticed Ino was still in her seat. He took a few steps back, went to Ino's side, and asked, "Ino, aren't you going home?"

"Yes, I forgot just now."

"Let's go together, I'll take you home."

"No need, Yosuke-kun."

"Let me take you; you're not feeling well right now."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yunyang said, "You may not believe me, Ino, but chakra has infinite possibilities. If you work hard to become stronger, one day you might be able to see the person you want to see."

Upon hearing this, Ino Yamanaka looked somewhat bewildered and asked, "Yosuke-kun, what does that mean?"

Shirokumo Yosuke shook his head and said, "What I mean is that I hope Ino's mood can bloom like a cosmos flower. I believe your father doesn't want you to be sad all the time either. Also, I'm craving some desserts made by Ino, but seeing that Ino is in a bad mood, I don't know what to say."

"Hasn't that said it all? Yosuke-kun is so cunning."

Ino felt a little better, and a smile appeared on her face. She knew that Shirakumo Yosuke wanted to cheer her up, so she stood up and said, "Thank you, you cunning and thoughtful Yosuke-kun."

"So many nicknames in one day? Anyway, let's go home first."

Shiraku Yosuke said with a smile, and then left the school with Yamanaka Ino. After dropping Ino off at home, he turned and went to the shopping street.

----------

Land of Fire, Daimyo Prefecture

Today, all the Guardian Ninja received orders, even those who were still resting, to return to the Daimyo's residence. Moreover, the summoning of the Guardian Ninja was merely to arrange the itinerary; the Daimyo was actually summoning many ministers from the Land of Fire.

"Jiri, do you know what this is about?"

Sarutobi Asuma asked, "Usually, the daimyo and Jiraiya have a better relationship. This daimyo is more interested in Buddhist teachings and is usually very kind."

"I'm not sure, but since all the ministers were summoned, it must be something important, and it seems even Ma doesn't know about it."

Jiraiya glanced at Kazuma, with whom they didn't get along, and whispered to Asuma, "Asuma, important matters should be communicated to Konoha, didn't the Daimyo tell you?"

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head and said, "I am now a Guardian Ninja, not the Hokage's son, Chiriku."
