Chapter 7 Arrival in Konoha

"Danzo, I need an explanation!"

In the Hokage's office in Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke coldly to Danzo, placing his recently lit pipe on the table.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would only put down his beloved pipe when faced with something extremely important, clearly indicating that Danzo's actions greatly displeased him.

The fact that he immediately led his men out of the village after issuing the order reminded Hiruzen Sarutobi of the Uchiha clan massacre; Danzo had disobeyed his orders and secretly threatened Itachi Uchiha back then.

"I did it for Konoha!"

Bang!

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table, making a loud noise, and glared at Danzo, saying, "Danzo, I don't have time for riddles. If you don't answer, then you can just live as an ordinary person from now on. Everything in Konoha is none of your business!"

Although Danzo has been relieved of his positions as a member of Root and an advisor to the Hokage, he is still a Konoha ninja. Furthermore, with the consent of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, Danzo can still participate in Konoha affairs.

But if Danzo isn't even a ninja, then he'll have nothing to do with Konoha anymore, and he can't use the Root's name to demand people from the village's ninja clans.

"Hiruzen, you don't understand anything."

Danzo compromised; he couldn't become an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't even be qualified to compete for Hokage. So after thinking it over, he decided to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi about it.

"Just the day before, I had a dream about the future, and in the dream I saw something very scary."

Danzo downplayed the important points, concealing and altering some aspects of the future scene he dreamed of before revealing it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After a while, when Danzo had finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still somewhat skeptical. He held his pipe for a long time before slowly lighting it.

"Danzo, who dreamt of the future, how much of what you say do you think you can believe?"

Danzo said, "Hiruzen, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are also vying for that brat named Shirakumo Yosuke. My actions don't make sense, so what about them? Besides, Orochimaru seemed to have used a cursed seal on Shirakumo Yosuke before he left. This person might become the one who destroys Konoha in the future!"

"Tsunade, Orochimaru"

After reciting the two names, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly looked up, coldly staring at Danzo, and said, "I will investigate this matter, but your ban is still in effect. From today onwards, Danzo, you'd better not make any unusual moves!"

"I'll also be transferring Ryoma Aburame and Fu Yamanaka to the Anbu!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo clenched his fist tightly under his sleeve, but he didn't argue with Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even if he summoned Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, it probably wouldn't change Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to believe him somewhat.

Danzo then turned and left the Hokage's office; he had said what he needed to say.

"Hiruzen, you're already hesitating, just like when you dealt with the Uchiha clan. Leave everything to me. In the end, I'll take care of the Hokage too!"

"hiss"

When Shirokumo Yosuke woke up, he immediately felt pain all over his body, but when he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar white ceiling.

Here. Bai Yunyoujie immediately sensed that there were two people in the room. He then turned his head and found that there was one person standing by the window and one by the door.

The woman with short black hair by the window looked familiar; she must be Shizune, who was standing next to Tsunade. As for the person standing on the other side, it was Kakashi Hatake, a Jonin from Konoha.

"You're awake! How are you feeling?"

When Shizune saw that Yosuke Shirakumo had woken up, she went up to him and asked him what was wrong. This was a task given to her by Lady Tsunade, and she had to take good care of the child in front of her.

With a pained expression, Shirokumo Yosuke feigned confusion and said, "Besides the pain, I don't feel anything else for now. Excuse me, where am I?"

"If it hurts, there's nothing we can do. Lady Tsunade only gave you some basic treatment. The cursed seal on your body hasn't been sealed yet; we'll have to wait for Lady Tsunade to return before we can deal with it."

After Shizune finished speaking, she looked at Shiraku Yosuke with some curiosity, saying that it hurt, but she could still smile.

"Is the pain in my neck caused by the cursed seal? I don't know what a cursed seal is, but it feels like chakra."

Bai Yunyoujie said with a trembling voice that since he woke up, the pain in his neck had been getting stronger and stronger, and the strange chakra there seemed to be eroding his whole body.

However, Orochimaru still has the energy to deceive people...

Seeing that Shiraku Yosuke's expression was getting increasingly off, Shizune quickly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As he spoke, he formed hand seals as if he wanted to use medical ninjutsu to treat Shiraku Yosuke.

"No, it's nothing."

Yosuke Shirakumo quickly realized that he could control the unusual chakra within his body and direct it according to his will to alleviate his pain.

"It'll be over soon, everything will be fine soon."

*Sizzle...*

Shirokumo Yosuke's body temperature gradually rose, and he even emitted steam like white mist.

Shizune touched it and was burned, immediately saying anxiously, "No, your body temperature is rising rapidly, we need to deal with it right away. Huh?"

Just as she was about to use medical ninjutsu to help Shirakumo Yosuke cool down, she saw strange curse marks appear on Shirakumo Yosuke's body, starting from his neck and quickly spreading to half of his body.

"Is this a cursed seal left by Orochimaru?"

Kakashi approached with a somewhat serious expression, pushing up his headband to reveal one of the few three-tomoe Sharingan in the ninja world, carefully observing the unusual behavior of Yosuke Shirakumo.

It was Tsunade who asked him to protect the boy in front of him here, although Kakashi didn't know what the boy's identity was that made two of the Legendary Sannin fight over him.

"Shizune, other chakra has appeared on his body, and the source is the cursed seal left by Orochimaru."

Upon hearing this, Shizune said anxiously, "What do we do now? Lady Tsunade said she'd handle it, but now... am I supposed to help him seal the cursed seal?"

Kakashi frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's seal it first. The cursed seal chakra is eroding his body; if this continues, he might..."

"It's okay. No need. I'm almost done. I should be fine now."

Bai Yunyangjie spoke slowly, his words pausing, but by the end, his tone and expression had returned to normal.

"call"

After exhaling, Shiraku Yosuke looked at the curse marks that had spread to his hands, and then controlled the chakra within his body, making 'they' slowly shrink back according to his will.

Then Shizune and Kakashi witnessed a scene that shocked them: the black curse mark on Shiraku Yosuke's body was slowly shrinking back into the curse mark on his neck.
