Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 8 Dispute

"Are you alright?"

Kakashi found it hard to believe, but what his Sharingan saw forced him to accept it: the cursed seal chakra on Yosuke Shirakumo's body was indeed being controlled and retracted into the cursed seal.

"Hmm, you should be fine now. The pain in other parts of your body is probably from the impact, but your neck is fine now."

Yosuke Shiraku carefully sensed it. The strange chakra seemed to have made him much stronger and enhanced his physical abilities. However, after the strange chakra receded, this feeling of becoming stronger disappeared.

I felt weak all over, as if I had been exercising for a long time.

Shizune noticed that Shiraku Yosuke's complexion was average; although he was a little pale, he insisted he was fine. Still somewhat worried, she asked, "Young man, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

"It's alright, although it hurts a little, it's nothing serious. But... where am I?"

Baiyun Youjie had already pretended not to understand and asked the question once, but neither of the two people in front of him answered him. However, he guessed that this should be Konoha.

"This is Konoha Village. You were brought back by Lady Tsunade after you fainted."

After a few seconds of silence, Shizune finally spoke to Shiraku Yosuke, but added, "I don't know anything else. If you want to know more, you should ask Lady Tsunade when she returns."

Upon hearing this, Shirokumo Yosuke paused for a moment, then asked, "Then, could I know about Koyama-san and the other villagers? It seems the village suffered some damage at the time."

"Koyama-san? You mean that wandering samurai? He and the other villagers are all fine, except for some houses that were damaged. But Lady Tsunade left money for repairs before she left."

Hearing Shizune's words, Shiraku Yosuke's worries lessened a bit, and he soon fell asleep. The exertion from the cursed seal chakra had greatly depleted his physical strength, and the constant analysis had left him mentally exhausted, compounded by the effects of the medicine.

Shizune stepped forward to check and found that Shiraku Yosuke was indeed asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is this guy really an eight or nine-year-old boy?"

"Probably. Weren't you there when the Anbu were questioning you? And Shizune, you've been by Tsunade's side the longest. Don't you know why Tsunade is looking for this boy?"

Kakashi pulled down his headband to cover his Sharingan, his heart filled with curiosity about Yosuke Shirakumo.

"I don't know either. Lady Tsunade suddenly summoned me to that small mountain village."

Shizune sighed; she knew nothing about it either. She said to Kakashi, "That day, after Lady Tsunade borrowed the money, she clearly planned to take a bath and then gamble properly. But after taking a nap, she suddenly decided to go back to the Land of Fire. You know what happened next, Kakashi."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi glanced at Yosuke Shirakumo and said, "It seems that Orochimaru and Danzo, like Lady Tsunade, are the only ones who know this. However, the Hokage should know by now as well."

Just as Kakashi said, after Tsunade returned, she took Yosuke Shirakumo to Konoha Hospital and then went to the Hokage Building.

Konoha was a place that held many painful memories for Tsunade, leading her to abandon her identity as a ninja after developing hemophobia and wander the ninja world with Shizune.

But now, in order to have a stable environment, Tsunade has chosen to come back.

Tsunade didn't know how many people in the ninja world were like her, but Orochimaru was a troublesome guy. It was definitely not safe for him to be outside. Returning to Konoha was the best option.

Hokage's Office

After returning, Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi barely exchanged a few words before starting an argument.

"Old man, Danzo has lost his position, yet he's still able to leave the village with his ninjas. It's all because you indulged him!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table in frustration, then continued, "If he's capable of wiping out the Uchiha clan, and continues to tolerate Danzo, Konoha's future will be ruined by him sooner or later."

"Tsunade, the Uchiha clan was massacred by Itachi Uchiha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Tsunade, saying that no matter what the inside story was, the Uchiha clan could only have been killed by Itachi Uchiha, and it was indeed Itachi Uchiha who did it.

"The Uchiha clan matter is in the past, and I'm too lazy to pursue the truth, but old man, you'd better warn Danzo not to touch the people I brought back!"

Tsunade crossed her arms and said coldly.

Although Tsunade's tone and attitude weren't very good, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already used to Tsunade's tone. He had previously called her a blind old man in front of a group of Jonin.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "Tsunade, you should tell me the inside story. Who exactly is this Yosuke Shirakumo?"

Danzo said he might destroy Konoha, but I don't really believe him, so Tsunade, you need to tell me about Yosuke Shirakumo.

"He's just an ordinary boy who's recently learned chakra, but in the future..."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade slowly spoke, "He will be the one to lead the ninja world to change, the leader who will usher in a new era."

"Is it the future again? Danzo said that, and now even you are saying that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "That reason won't convince me, Tsunade. You know what I want to ask. I also got the details of what happened from the Anbu. That boy should have Orochimaru's curse mark on him, right? How can you guarantee that he won't get involved with Orochimaru or even become an enemy of Konoha?"

"With me here, what guarantee do I need?"

Tsunade snorted coldly. She guessed that Danzo had splashed dirty water on Shiraku Yosuke, but she had absolute confidence in that brat.

As for the cursed seal Orochimaru placed on Hakuun Yosuke, she will find a way to remove it after she returns.

"In short, I will take responsibility for that brat, and I hope the village will protect him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the key to the future transformation of the ninja world!"

"I understand what you mean. Let's go with your plan for now, Tsunade."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Tsunade's resolute attitude, he knew that it was impossible to persuade her. If he tried to force her to change her mind, he would probably only force her to leave Konoha again.

This is something Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to see. Konoha is currently at its weakest point in history, with the Fourth Hokage dead and the Uchiha clan wiped out. Tsunade, having regained her fighting strength, can make up for the village's weakness, so Hiruzen Sarutobi can back down if necessary.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table with his pipe and said in a serious tone, "However, the Anbu must obtain information about him at all times, and it would be best if he became a member of Konoha. This is my bottom line, Tsunade."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade clenched her fists and said, "Old man, you..."
