Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 54 The Daimyo's Visit

"Gentlemen, I've gathered you here today mainly to ask about something, something I wonder if any of you have encountered before."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke slowly; he was in his forties or fifties, not young at all, but today he encountered something very strange.

"Last night, after I fell asleep, I seemed to dream about things that would happen several years or even more than ten years from now. The dream was so real that it made me a little uneasy. So I sent someone to inquire and found out that Konoha and Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning seem to be really going to war because of what I dreamed about."

Although the daimyo is the highest-ranking person in the Land of Fire, Konoha has a great deal of autonomy. It doesn't need to go through the daimyo's office to wage war or conduct diplomacy with other countries. This is why Kazuma dislikes Konoha.

How can there be two voices within a single country?

"To be honest, Your Excellency, I had the same dream yesterday as well."

"Lord Masaki too? I thought it was just a bizarre dream, but I didn't expect you and the Daimyo to have it too?"

"I also dreamed about it a little, but I've forgotten most of it now."

After the Daimyo finished speaking, the other ministers of the Land of Fire commented that some of them might be lying, but others were telling the truth.

The Fire Country Daimyo then continued, "Regarding this matter, I would like to set off for Konoha to talk to the Third Hokage and also to meet Yosuke-kun. He's probably not even ten years old now. I remember he was only seventeen or eighteen in my dream, and he was already a shogun back then."

Upon hearing the daimyo's words, Kazuma, who was inside the house, became instantly excited.

In his dream, Yosuke Shirakumo was a general in the Land of Fire and then became the leader of the ninja world.

However, Kazuma was still a little worried. He was afraid that the daimyo would dream of more things. In his mind, the leader seemed to have taken over the position of the daimyo of the five great nations and become the supreme leader.

But after observing him carefully for a while, Kazuma felt a little relieved. It seemed that the Daimyo did not harbor any hatred; he was not someone who could hide his thoughts.

"Since everyone agrees, let's set off for Konoha tomorrow. I'll take this opportunity to talk to the Third Hokage about the Cloud Village, but another war is about to begin."

The daimyo covered his face with a folding fan and sighed, saying that once the war started, the two who would suffer the most were Konoha and the daimyo's mansion, one losing manpower and the other losing financial resources.

The Finance Minister sighed, "Konoha has only recently recovered, and the Land of Fire probably won't be able to provide much assistance this time."

"Well, no need to say that. Konoha and the Land of Fire are one. Let's have a good chat with the Third Hokage."

The daimyo and the finance minister quickly agreed on their plan, as if exchanging secret signals.

Their trip wasn't just about inquiring about the war; it was mainly because of that dream of the future.

After discussing the details and sending a letter to Konoha, the meeting concluded.

However, after the meeting, Jiriku called out to Asuma and the others, saying to them, "Asuma, be careful of Kazuma. I've been watching them closely. Kazuma seemed a bit agitated after hearing the Daimyo's words."

Sarutobi Asuma exclaimed in surprise, "Chirai, you mean...?"

"It's unlikely to be Asuma's doing. He wouldn't dare to attack the daimyo and several ministers. Besides, what's going on in Konoha? Asuma, haven't you received any news?"

"No, we haven't been in contact with Konoha recently."

Sarutobi Asuma said somewhat embarrassedly that he had come out earlier to get rid of his identity as the son of the Third Hokage and wanted to make a name for himself based on his own abilities.

Aside from occasional contact with Kurenai Yuhi, he had almost never inquired about Konoha.

"However, the daimyo will probably let me accompany him this time, so I'll go and find out more about him then."

Sarutobi Asuma paused for a moment, then continued, "Chiriku, if Konoha really goes to war with Kumogakure, I might..."

"I know, there's nothing we can do about it, and Daimyo will understand."

Jiraiya interrupted Asuma, saying that although they had spent several years together, Asuma was, after all, a Konoha ninja, and he would definitely have to go back once Konoha started a war.

After returning, Kazuma gathered his faction's guardian ninja and excitedly told them, "Everyone, the opportunity has come. This time when we go to Konoha, we must see the leader and present him with the gifts we have prepared."

Jie Ren spoke up, "This is indeed an opportunity, but transferring the Nine-Tails' chakra to Ma will likely take quite some time. What should we do?"

"First, contact the leader. He should have a solution. If all else fails, I'll find an opportunity to sacrifice my life!"

As he finished talking with Ma, a rather crazy idea popped into his head.

He dreamt of a prosperous future, and he made it his lifelong ambition, willing to give his life to achieve it.

"Go and prepare. Jie Ren, go and bring Kong over, but don't alert Di Lu and the others."

"I understand, Kazuma."

The news that the daimyo was coming to Konoha quickly reached Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although he was surprised, he could not refuse the daimyo's visit to Konoha. He simply sent Kakashi and other elite ninjas to greet them and prevent any accidents from happening to the daimyo and his party.

When the Daimyo and his party entered Konoha and arrived at the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi and advisors Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane came out to welcome them inside.

After everyone was seated in the conference room, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, asking, "Your Excellency, may I ask what brings you to Konoha this time?"

The last time the daimyo came to Konoha was because of the election for the Fourth Hokage. His sudden visit today left Hiruzen Sarutobi at a loss.

"There are two things, Third Hokage. First, I've heard that relations with the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning have deteriorated, and there are signs that war is imminent. So I'd like to ask what the Daimyo's office needs to do. The second thing is..."

The Fire Country Daimyo shielded his face with a folding fan, glanced around, and slowly asked, "I had a dream about the future, but I heard that the person who appeared in my dream is now in Konoha, so I wanted to come and see for myself. I think his name is Shirakumo Yosuke?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected that the daimyo would also have such a dream.

After exchanging glances with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt that things were getting a bit complicated. According to the information he had received, Shirakumo Yosuke had a good relationship with the Daimyo and was a very important nobleman in the Land of Fire.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want anyone to come into contact with Yosuke Shirakumo, but the Daimyo had just asked if Konoha and Kumogakure needed the Daimyo's help if they went to war.

If the Daimyo is prevented from meeting Hakuun Yosuke, and the Daimyo's family refuses to help or even provides less help in anger, what will Konoha do?

The Daimyo could even use mission assignments to threaten Konoha, just like the Daimyo of the Land of Wind did before, thus directly cutting off Konoha's source of funding.

"I understand, Your Excellency. Shirokumo Yosuke is currently at the Ninja Academy. I will send someone to fetch him right away."

After thinking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, ignoring the glances from Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. At this point, he simply couldn't refuse the daimyo's request.

I'll change the update time and update volume tomorrow.

I'll post one chapter at 8 AM and one at noon; updating too fast is killing me.
