Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 87 Tsunade: This is my teacher's plea

"We're here! How could it be right ahead?!"

The Konoha reconnaissance team passed through a forest and arrived at the location given in the mission; but the scene before them left them completely stunned.

The pit, tens of meters deep and nearly a thousand meters wide, was filled with corpses and camp debris that had not been cleared away. It was clear at a glance that this place had once been a Cloud Ninja camp.

"Naoto-kun, please!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Naoto Hyuga immediately activated his Byakugan. As the veins on both sides of his cheeks bulged, he quickly looked around.

After a while, Hyuga Naoto spoke up: "Captain, it seems like there's no one here anymore, but we've found a lot of corpses. They must be the Cloud Ninja who didn't have time to move them."

Only two days have passed since the attack, and the Cloud Ninja had already suffered heavy losses, with only a little over 500 people remaining, and many wounded.

In the eyes of the Fourth Raikage, Yosuke Shirakumo was sent by Konoha, and that a large Konoha army would definitely come after the attack. So, after giving the wounded a quick treatment, the remaining Kumo ninja retreated directly into the Land of Lightning.

The Cloud Ninja suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible for them to fight Konoha until reinforcements arrived.

Not only that, the Fourth Raikage also recalled all the Cloud Ninja squads that were outside.

Naoto Hyuga asked, "Captain, we didn't encounter any enemies on the way here. It seems the Cloud Ninja have already withdrawn. Should we follow them?"

"After I relay the message back, we'll continue searching a bit further. But be extremely careful from now on and be prepared to evacuate at any time."

The reconnaissance team leader then recorded the intelligence in coded form and summoned a specially trained falcon to send it back.

After completing all this, the reconnaissance team continued their search and investigation.

Meanwhile, the Konoha camp received a lot of intelligence reports, all of which were encrypted using special methods, with the encryption method changing daily. After being compiled, all of it was handed over to Nara Shikaku and the others.

"I didn't expect it to be true. Now we can execute the next tactics."

Nara Shikaku was shocked after reading the intelligence that was sent back, but he still immediately sent a message and, according to the pre-arranged plan, dispatched a 400-man ninja squad to invade the Land of Lightning, intending to destroy the Land of Lightning's famous mines and logistics transportation routes.

With the Cloud Ninja withdrawing, they have opened up the border defenses. If they don't seize this opportunity, then Nara Shikaku will be unworthy of being the leader of the Jonin team.

Even if the Konoha ninjas sent out don't attack civilians or ordinary people, just destroying the roads with their ninjutsu would be enough to give the Cloud Ninja a headache for a long time.

If more mines are destroyed, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will be extremely troubled and angry, and will then put the pressure on the Hidden Cloud Village.

Konoha's actions did not escape the notice of the Cloud Ninja. Even after withdrawing from the border defense line, the Cloud Ninja still dispatched a patrol ninja squad, which clashed with Konoha's ninja squad multiple times.

However, the Cloud Ninja can only protect their own camp now, and they are powerless to do anything about the other actions of the Leaf Ninja until reinforcements arrive.

Cloud Ninja Camp

"Those bastards from Konoha!"

Ai couldn't help but curse in anger. Apart from his father being trapped and killed by the Iwa ninja during the last Shinobi World War, the Cloud ninja had never suffered such a great loss.

Now that they're trapped within the Land of Lightning and have no power to fight back, A desperately wants to rush into the Land of Fire and kill all the Konoha ninjas.

"Where's the support? When will Tutai be able to arrive?"

"It should arrive this afternoon, Raikage-sama."

Mabui also suffered serious injuries, but fortunately, she survived because the Tailed Beast Ball exploded and she was protected by the Shadow Guard.

After a brief treatment, Mabui got busy again. After all, the Fourth Raikage was not suited to handle miscellaneous tasks, and the village's miscellaneous affairs were handled by Mabui, Tsuchida, and others.

"Once Tsuchikage and Killer Bee arrive, we'll launch a counterattack on Konoha immediately. I don't want those bastards from Konoha to live!"

Mabu-i nodded and replied, "I understand, Lord Raikage."

According to the original plan, Killer Bee was not to be sent, but now that Yugito is seriously injured and will need at least a month to recover, Killer Bee has no choice but to come.

In the eyes of the Fourth Raikage, the most troublesome and most deserving of death was Yosuke Hakukumo, who knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the only ones in the Hidden Cloud Village who could deal with this space-time ninjutsu were the A and B duo.

"Send someone to Iwagakure again to find that old bastard Onoki. This is the last time; if we win, Iwagakure won't get a single benefit!"

When the Fourth Raikage said those words, he felt a little uneasy. Just as he said "win," images of losing the war involuntarily flashed through his mind.

He then decisively denied it, arguing that the Cloud Ninja was so powerful that while other ninja villages were reducing their military strength, the Cloud Ninja was constantly strengthening its military. How could they possibly lose to a mere Konoha?

If it weren't for our carelessness last time, that bastard from Konoha wouldn't have even been able to sneak in.

"Senior Kurenai, I think that showing the enemy a joyful and unforgettable scene is more effective than using the Naraku-seeing technique to show them the scene of their deepest fears than using terrifying memories."

While fear can damage the mind, it can also subconsciously make the enemy want to break free from the illusion. However, pleasant memories will keep the enemy immersed in the illusion, making them reluctant to break free. This is where our opportunity comes in.

"Eh~, that actually seems like a good idea, Yosuke-kun, you're really thinking a lot!"

"Would you like to give it a try, Senior Kurenai? After being afflicted with an illusion, you can try to break free immediately. Compare this to the Naraku Sight Technique and see how long it takes Senior Kurenai to break free from the illusion."

"Alright, then let me test Yosuke-kun's illusionary abilities."

The cheerful conversation inside the tent made Sarutobi Asuma feel uneasy; he didn't know whether he should go in and disturb Kurenai.

Just as he was hesitating, a voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Asuma? What are you doing standing here? Looking for Red?"

Sarutobi Asuma turned around and saw Anko approaching. He said somewhat flusteredly, "Anko, I'm here on behalf of Masakawa-kun to ask how your injuries are?"

Hirara Masakawa was a member of Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi's team. He originally wanted to ask about the team's reunion, but Asuma happened to run into him after returning from his mission, so he asked Hirara Masakawa to come and run errands for him.

"Masakawa, is that guy too lazy to even come this short distance? I'm fine now, let's go in and ask Kurenai."

After Hongdou finished speaking, she walked towards the tent, and Asma followed with a smile on his face.

However, when Anko pulled back the curtain, Asuma suddenly opened his eyes wide and saw a distressing scene.

Kurenai sat on the bed inside the tent, slightly stretching her neck to bring her pretty face closer, and her eyes seemed to be moist; Shirokumo Yosuke stood nearby, reaching out to pinch Kurenai's snow-white and smooth face.

Red Bean asked疑惑地问道, "Red, Yosuke, what are you doing?"

This was also what Sarutobi Asuma wanted to ask, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"untie!"

Kurenai Yuhi formed hand seals and released the illusion before noticing her surroundings and the hand that had just released her cheek.

"Yo-suke"

This made Kurenai puff out her cheeks, but thinking of the scene she had just witnessed in the illusion, she wiped her eyes and said, "Yosuke-kun was testing my illusion just now, but Yosuke-kun, you can't do that next time."

Baiyun Youjie shrugged and said, "Senior Hong, I tried to break the illusion for three seconds but couldn't. If I were the enemy and used a kunai, the outcome would already be decided."

Upon hearing this, Kurenai opened her red lips, but did not utter a word.

What she did just now was indeed too despicable. Although Kurenai knew it was an illusion, she still wanted to hear her father say a few more words, even if it was just words from his memories.

Kurenai sighed inwardly and then said, "Your idea is correct, Yosuke-kun. Modifying the Naraku Sight Technique like this will be much more effective against the enemy."

Everyone has the most beautiful and unforgettable memories in their heart. When these memories are awakened, everyone will be momentarily lost in thought. Kurenai Yuhi wanted to recall her father's appearance more, so she did not immediately break the illusion.

"Asuma, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

After explaining, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Asuma Sarutobi and asked, "She and Asuma don't seem to be from the same ninja tier, so they should be hard to run into each other in this war."

Asuma scratched his head and said, "I just finished a mission and stopped by to deliver a message for Masakawa. He wants to know when your team will assemble."

"Is that so? The rest period ends tomorrow. Please tell Masakawa to go and accept the mission tomorrow."

After glancing at Anko, Kurenai said, "Anko was seriously injured during the last mission. It's been five days since she recovered, and it's time for her to return to the battlefield."

"Okay, then I'll pass on the message to Masakawa."

After Sarutobi Asuma finished speaking, he wanted to say something more, but when he opened his mouth, the words seemed stuck in his throat and he couldn't get them out. In the end, he could only turn around and leave.

After Sarutobi Asuma left, Shirakumo Yosuke checked on Mitarashi Anko's injuries, and after confirming that there were no problems, he also took his leave.

"Asuma Sarutobi did start pursuing Kurenai around this time, but he's acting like an idiot, not taking any action at all."

After leaving, Shirokumo Yosuke thought to himself, "Although I told him to stop pinching my cheeks, he doesn't mind physical contact at all. If this continues, Sarutobi Asuma can consider a marriage alliance with the Utatane family."

--------------

A few days is enough time for the Cloud Ninja to react and launch a counterattack.

The Cloud Ninja reinforcements have arrived, and Tsuchikage has brought four more ninja battalions. With the addition of the healing and recovering ninjas, the Cloud Ninjas on the front lines are now stronger than before, and they also have an extra Killer Bee.

However, Konoha acted very quickly, and Nara Shikaku was so fast in formulating the plan and sending out his men that the Cloud Ninja couldn't react in time.

In just two days, they destroyed many roads and resource sites within the Land of Lightning, causing considerable trouble for the Cloud Ninja.

When the Cloud Ninja try to deal with the damage caused by the Leaf Ninja, they are ambushed and obstructed. Several Cloud Ninja squads were ambushed and killed a few days ago.

However, as the Cloud Ninja sent out more ninja squads, and Killer Bee also frequently appeared on the battlefield, Konoha's casualties increased significantly over the next few days, so Nara Shikaku stopped this tactic.

Konoha has already made a huge profit, not only by invading the Land of Lightning and causing widespread destruction, but also by setting up numerous traps along the border of the Land of Lightning.

Even if the Yunren wanted to retake the border, they would have to suffer some casualties.

Inside the command tent, Konoha's high-ranking officials gathered once again.

"The situation is getting a bit bad again. The reinforcements from the Cloud Ninja arrived too quickly, and they've already recovered. Moreover, they've sent out the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, plus the Two-Tails Jinchuriki who's still recovering from his injuries. I'm afraid we'll be facing two Jinchuriki in half a month."

Nara Shikaku told everyone present about the recent battle situation and intelligence. The Cloud Ninja now numbered nearly three thousand and had recaptured the border, but they had not yet found out where the new camp was.

"If that's all, we can still handle it. We can also ask Tsunade and Jiraiya for help with the AB combination. But the Hokage just sent us an urgent message."

After finishing speaking, Nara Shikaku took out a confidential intelligence report from the village, handed it to Jiraiya beside him, and after Jiraiya finished reading it, passed it on to the next person.

Everyone in the tent looked rather grim after reading it.

The Iwa ninja crossed the border directly into the Land of Grass, and could invade the Land of Fire at any time.

The village has already ordered Danzo and Root to be transferred away, and sent 500 people to the border, along with 300 Sand Ninja, but they need a commander.

Ordinary Jonin won't do; the Sand Village probably won't accept that. At least it has to be a renowned ninja like the "Legendary Sannin of Konoha" or an advisor to keep the Sand Village in check.

Even the title of "Copy Ninja Kakashi" wouldn't convince the Sand Village.

Nara Shikaku glanced at Jiraiya and Tsunade, and sighed, "That's how it is. One of you, Jiraiya-sama or Tsunade-sama, has to go to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass. Although the Cloud Ninja has sent two Jinchuriki, we are not without a way to deal with it."

The unspoken meaning of these words was clear to everyone in the tent. Although they didn't know how Baiyun Yangjie possessed such strength, the fact that he could destroy the Cloud Ninja camp meant he was indeed a top-tier powerhouse in the Land of Fire.

However, Nara Shikaku had no way to command Shirakumo Yosuke; the only person in the entire camp who could persuade him was probably Tsunade.

Jiraiya spoke up, saying, "I'll go over there. I've dealt with the Sand Village during the Second Shinobi World War, so I think they'll give me some face. But I'll leave this place to you, Tsunade!"

"Tsk, I'm not sure either!"

Tsunade bit her finger and said, "Although I'm that brat's teacher, I think I've been bullied more often. I haven't been able to establish any authority as a teacher!"

"I'll try my best, but Shikaku, don't count on me too much."

Before, she was so wary of him, but now that she sees Shirakumo Yosuke becoming stronger, she wants to borrow his power. Tsunade now understands why Shirakumo Yosuke wants to act alone.

Jiraiya casually replied, "Well, Tsunade, if it's you, there's absolutely no problem. After all, you're my teacher!"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, Jiraiya. If it weren't for you guys, you wouldn't have let it go!"

Tsunade said irritably, "Back then, my idea was to nurture Hakuun Yosuke properly, give him whatever he needed, and ten years later Hakuun Yosuke would be even more outstanding than in my dreams."

Unlike now, even though Shirakumo Yosuke was her disciple, he went to Orochimaru after learning medical ninjutsu from her.

Tsunade felt that persuading this disciple would be no easy task.

Before, Tsunade would have refused without hesitation, fearing something might happen to Shirokumo Yosuke on the battlefield; but now that she knows how strong Shirokumo Yosuke is, she has a better hope that this disciple can help.

It's just hard to bring it up.

After a brief discussion, they finalized the time for Jiraiya's departure and the tactics for dealing with the Hidden Cloud Village.

Now, the ninja squads led by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure are constantly invading the Land of Fire. Other ninja squads are no match for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and even escaping is difficult.

They have to take action, or the camp will be unsafe.

"Yosuke!"

While purifying the Nine-Tails' chakra, Shirakumo Yosuke suddenly heard a shout from outside the tent. He had just finished his training and opened his eyes when he saw Tsunade lifting the curtain and walking in.

Shirakumo Yosuke asked, "Tsunade-sensei, what is it?"

"Hmm, are you cultivating?"

Tsunade turned her head and asked, her evasive manner immediately giving Hakuun Yosuke a rough idea of ​​what she wanted to see him about.

Shirokumo Yosuke smiled and said, "Tsunade-sensei, just say what's on your mind. There's no need to stand on ceremony between us."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so agreeable. Well then, I'll get straight to the point, Yosuke."

Tsunade's face lit up with unexpected joy. She had originally intended to use a lot of persuasion, but she hadn't expected Shiraku Yosuke to be so sensible.

"Recently, the Cloud Ninja dispatched a team of ninja with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and your strength..."

"I refuse!"

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Shirakumo Yosuke decisively interrupted her.

"Huh? Why?"

Tsunade was taken aback, then asked angrily, "Why not? You stupid disciple, you agreed so readily just now, I thought you would agree too."

"If it's something for Tsunade-sensei herself, I'll definitely agree without hesitation. But if it's something for Konoha, I need to think about it."

Bai Yun Youjie clicked his tongue and said, "Moreover, the destruction of the Cloud Ninja camp last time used up all my accumulated Sage Chakra. It will take at least half a month to accumulate enough to recover my previous strength."

Is that so?

Tsunade looked at Shirakumo Yosuke with some suspicion, then deliberately turned her head away, actually stealing a glance at him, and said, "Then I'll have to face the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone. There will probably be a Two-Tails Jinchuriki as well."

"I will save you and get you out of here. As long as you have the Flying Thunder God Kunai, nothing will happen to you."

Bai Yunyoujie paused for a moment, then continued, "As for others, they are not within my consideration; I will be good to whoever is good to me, Tsunade-sensei."

Tsunade felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing that Shirakumo Yosuke would protect her, but thinking that the Konoha troops might not be able to hold out, she couldn't help but say, "But..."

"Protect the Land of Fire, right? I have my own methods. Even if all the ninjas of Konoha are wiped out, I can still make the ninjas of Kumogakure admit defeat and retreat."

"You rascal, you were definitely hiding a plan!"

Tsunade's beautiful eyes lit up upon hearing this, but seeing that Shirakumo Yosuke didn't want to say anything, she struggled with the decision for a moment before stepping forward and asking, "Yosuke, what if it's the teacher's request?"

"That won't do either. That's my principle, Tsunade-sensei!"

After speaking righteously, Bai Yunyoujie paused for a few seconds, then looked at the eye-catching, soft, and muscular object and said, "Unless Tsunade-sensei agrees to one thing."
