Chapter 55 Conversation

"Excuse me, Iruka, the Hokage has ordered Yosuke Shirakumo to come with me."

After Kakashi knocked on the door and called Iruka out, he quickly took Shirakumo Yosuke away.

However, on the way to the Hokage Building, Shirakumo Yosuke asked, "Is it the Third Hokage who wants to see me?"

Kakashi glanced at Yosuke Shirakumo but did not answer.

However, Yosuke Shirakumo's passive information-gathering ability still allowed him to analyze and glean the correct answer from any subtle information, such as Kakashi's eyes and the emotions he exuded.

"Not the Third Hokage, but someone similar to him?"

"Oh, I see. I understand."

After receiving the answer the first time, Kakashi's emotions fluctuated, making it much easier to obtain information from him afterward.

Yosuke Shiraku easily learned from Kakashi that the person who had come to see him was actually a daimyo, and that the daimyo had come suddenly.

Kakashi's gaze changed too. He no longer looked at me with the unfamiliarity he had before; instead, there was scrutiny, doubt, and suspicion. He too had dreamt of the future and wanted to ask me something. Touching his eyes meant he wanted to ask about Obito Uchiha.

Baiyun Youjie quickly calculated in his mind that, a month later, someone had dreamed of the future again.

There's an 80% chance that his daimyo will be the same as Kakashi's!

The second group of people appeared, forty days later. So far, all we know is that Kakashi and the Daimyo are among them. Judging from this, these people are likely to have a good relationship with him in the future, and will be influenced by him directly or indirectly.

However, the timing of dreams about the future varies depending on the degree of influence.

Shirokumo Yosuke stopped thinking. The information was insufficient, but the speculation was too profound. Unless he activated his ability, he would hardly know the answer.

Soon, Kakashi led him to the Hokage Building.

Upon entering the house, Shiraku Yosuke saw several people: Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and other high-ranking officials of Konoha.

Without Tsunade, it seems Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't inform her.

Yosuke Shiraku quickly glanced around before fixing his attention on Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. This was the first time he had seen Hiruzen Sarutobi since arriving in Konoha.

Uncertainty, doubt, scrutiny, and hesitation—the emotions of Hiruzen Sarutobi are vastly different from those of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. He has no memories of the future, so doubt and uncertainty are the deepest emotions in his heart.

That's interesting. So that's how you see him. He's not much different from Orochimaru, but he just doesn't have Orochimaru's charisma.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire closed his folding fan and said with a smile, "Shirakumo Yosuke. May I call you Yosuke-kun?"

"Of course, Your Excellency."

While speaking, Shiraku Yosuke focused more attention on the person behind the daimyo. His gaze was so intense that he made no attempt to conceal his emotions.

Daimyo said, "Although this is our first meeting, I feel like we've known each other for a long time."

"I don't feel that way. Many people dream about the future, but it's not me who's dreaming, which is really unsettling. However, I think I understand what Your Majesty is thinking."

"Yosuke-kun, do you understand?"

"The moment I saw you, I knew what to do next. Just as you thought, Lord Daimyo, you were absolutely right to come to me."

"Yosuke-kun, I have never revealed my purpose."

Whether I said it or not is not important at all. If people who know me still come to me, their purpose is already very clear. It's just a difference in how they express it.

"Hehehe, what a humorous child!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire immediately let out a humorous laugh, as if he had heard a trivial joke.

After he finished laughing, he opened his folding fan to cover half of his face, turned his head and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Third Hokage, may I speak with Yosuke-kun alone?"

"this"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment; he never expected the daimyo to make this request.

Moreover, what the two of them just said was very strange. It didn't sound like they were meeting for the first time at all. It sounded like they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time exchanging secret codes.

Considering the information he knew, would the daimyo really believe Shirakumo Yosuke just because of an uncertain dream?

The room fell silent. After the daimyo asked, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"The Third Hokage?"

The daimyo asked again, this time in a polite tone. However, as an old acquaintance of the daimyo, he could naturally tell the change in the daimyo's emotions.

The upcoming war with Kumogakure will require the full support of the Daimyo's government, and a large number of missions will be needed after the war. The Daimyo's government and nobles will always be Konoha's largest customer base, and merchants throughout the Land of Fire will follow in the footsteps of the Daimyo's government.

"I understand, Your Excellency. We'll head out now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly made a decision in his mind. For Konoha, the most important thing now was to gain the support of the Daimyo, even though it was somewhat contrary to his original intention.

Despite wanting to keep a close eye on Shirakumo Yosuke, this only pushed him further away from Konoha.

After the Konoha ninjas left, the daimyo said, "You can all leave now. I want to talk to Yosuke-kun alone."

Shirokumo Yosuke suddenly spoke up, "Daimyo, why don't you let him stay? Although I'm not a ninja, I have learned chakra."

"Okay, then I'll do as Yosuke says. Everyone except Kazuma, wait outside for my orders."

After Daimyo finished speaking, Jiroku and the others nodded in agreement and then left the room.

After they left, the people of Konoha were a little embarrassed. They had wanted to eavesdrop, but with Jiraiya and the others guarding the door, and two guardian ninjas going to the window on their own, how could they eavesdrop?

After looking at Shirakumo Yosuke for a while, the daimyo suddenly asked, "Yosuke-kun, are you really only nine years old?"

"Age is not important; it's just the most basic standard by which fools judge ability. If you want to ask about experience and perspective, I can't answer you; I can only respond based on what you want to know."

The daimyo asked in surprise, "You know what I want?"

Bai Yunyou said with a particularly deep look in his eyes, "If you're not keen on power, then naturally you need good health and longevity. Seeing your elders die of illness in front of you, you're afraid that you'll end up like them. In fact, you can already feel your body weakening and your strength diminishing. Am I following in my father's footsteps?"

After concentrating, Shiraku Yosuke can purposefully identify and collect the information he wants. When he focuses his attention on Daimyo and Kazuma, he can "see" their feelings, thoughts, and even their past!

The thing the daimyo of the Land of Fire could never forget was witnessing his father, at the prime of his life, lying weakly and helplessly on his sickbed, slowly waiting to die.

At that time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was only twelve years old, just three years younger than Tsunade.
