Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 92 The Daimyo and the Raikage with Their Feud

"The Cloud Ninja have retreated?"

"What's going on? Was the intelligence wrong?"

Upon hearing this news, Nara Shikaku was filled with doubt and immediately dispatched even more reconnaissance ninjas, leaving no stone unturned in checking the defenses of the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water.

The Cloud Ninja's attacks were making them feel numb, so why did they suddenly withdraw their entire army?

"Hayama, what do you think the Cloud Ninja are planning?"

Nara Shikaku was starting to doubt his own judgment; he truly couldn't fathom the Cloud Ninja's sudden decision to retreat.

"I don't know either, let's wait for feedback."

Bai Yunyeshan shook his head, saying that he was not good at analyzing the enemy's movements and was more suited to leading a raid.

Nara Shikaku couldn't figure it out either, but he suddenly thought of Shirokumo Yosuke, who was nowhere to be found outside. If he had to guess why the Cloud Ninja had suddenly withdrawn, Nara Shikaku could only connect it to Shirokumo Yosuke.

From day to sunset, as news gradually came back, Nara Shikaku finally confirmed that the Cloud Ninja had indeed retreated, and there were not many ninja left on the border; it seemed that they had all returned to their own ninja villages.

"That's incredible, how did he do that?"

Nara Shikaku was certain that this matter was related to Shirakumo Yosuke, but he couldn't understand what Shirakumo Yosuke had done to make the Fourth Raikage withdraw his troops.

Suddenly, a Konoha ninja walked in and immediately reported to the people in the tent: "Commander Nara, Lady Tsunade, General Hakuun has returned."

The people inside the tent remained silent, but everyone else, like Nara Shikaku, turned their gazes toward Tsunade.

Only Tsunade was able to get some information out of Yosuke Shirakumo; it was considered good if anyone else could say a few words. Although Shikaku Nara had found out in the past two days that the relationship between Chunin Kurenai Yuhi and Yosuke Shirakumo was alright, he hadn't inquired about it in detail yet.

"I understand, I'll go ask right away."

Tsunade sighed and then left the tent. After walking for a while, she arrived at Shirakumo Yosuke's resting place.

"Yosuke, I'm coming in."

After lifting the curtain, Tsunade went straight in and quickly saw Shirakumo Yosuke, whose face was somewhat pale. Her heart immediately filled with worry, and she hurriedly asked…

"Are you injured?"

While asking the questions, he immediately stepped forward, ready to use medical ninjutsu to treat Shirakumo Yosuke.

However, Shirokumo Yosuke pointed to the four and Kimimaro and said, "Let's treat them first, Tsunade-sensei. I just used up too much chakra, so I can only bring them back. I don't have enough chakra to use medical ninjutsu."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade noticed that, apart from Shirokumo Yosuke, all of his subordinates who had brought him were injured, with two of them having severely twisted limbs.

"Shadow Clone Technique".

Tsunade created a shadow clone and then said to the four members of the group and Kimimaro, "The three of you help these two with my shadow clone to the medical station for treatment. This kind of injury requires surgery."

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

The four, along with Kimimaro, received a look from Shirakumo Yosuke, stood up to thank him, and then helped the most seriously injured Kidomaru and Jirobo away, following Tsunade's shadow clone.

After they left, Tsunade used medical ninjutsu to help Yosuke Hakuun recover his chakra.

However, after placing her hand on Yosuke Shirakumo, Tsunade frowned slightly and couldn't help but scold him, "Yosuke, your meridians are severely damaged, almost more so than last time. Your body can't handle such powerful chakra right now."

"Even with Sage Mode, it's the same; the Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest would be a burden for you right now."

Some ninjutsu and escape techniques do not require affecting the mind, but they are still classified as forbidden techniques because their use can cause great damage to the meridians.

A ninja with average physical constitution will damage their meridians when using A-rank or S-rank ninjutsu. Meridians are the most difficult to heal, and using them repeatedly will basically ruin a ninja's career.

In Tsunade's view, Yosuke Shirakumo's powerful Sage Mode could also be classified as a forbidden technique, as the excessively powerful chakra burst put too much strain on the body.

Besides, Shirokumo Yosuke is only about ten years old now.

"I understand, Tsunade-sensei. I will use it more carefully in the future."

Shirokumo Yosuke didn't argue and casually agreed.

His Nine-Tails chakra was also running low. The Cloud Ninja had almost all withdrawn their troops this time, and it wouldn't be long before they launched another war. Moreover, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning probably wouldn't allow the Cloud Ninja to start a war.

Inside the tent, a moment of silence fell.

After a while, once the treatment was finished, Tsunade couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Yosuke, did you orchestrate the sudden retreat of the Cloud Ninja?"

Tsunade herself doesn't realize that she speaks to Shiraku Yosuke in a tone that is almost equal to his, and the master-disciple relationship is gradually being leveled.

However, it's understandable that Tsunade is being blamed. Strength determines status. Hakuun Yosuke has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in this war, giving her considerable shock almost every day. Now, Tsunade has developed a certain reliance on Hakuun Yosuke, though she herself is unaware of it.

"Probably. Anyway, I ran into the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee in Kumogakure. I have to say, the AB brothers have pretty good teamwork. When they attack together, they're really tough to deal with."

Upon hearing what Shirakumo Yosuke said, Tsunade was so angry that she couldn't help but slap him. Just the mention of the AB brothers alone was enough for her to imagine how dangerous it must have been.

"You stupid disciple! Even if Jiraiya and I teamed up, we wouldn't be confident of winning against the AB brothers. If you didn't know the Flying Thunder God Technique, how could you have come back so easily? Don't do anything so dangerous next time!"

A Fourth Raikage, and an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who fully controls the power of the Tailed Beasts.

The two had been a team for over ten years, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were of one mind. Without space-time ninjutsu, no one in the ninja world would dare to say they could definitely beat the two of them; being able to escape would be considered a feat.

After scolding her, Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "And then, what were you doing in Kumogakure?"

"For this, the most valuable thing in Kumogakure, if it can be manufactured, its power might be even greater than the combined power of two tailed beasts."

As he spoke, Shirokumo Yosuke took out a scroll containing the manufacturing equipment and blueprints for the chakra cannon. In his view, this was the most valuable thing in Kumogakure.

Even the Tailed Beast Ball is difficult to launch in space, while the Chakra Cannon is practically halfway into the category of planet-destroying weapons.

This time, he attacked the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Lightning and placed the Flying Thunder God Mark on them. Now, these people will definitely be on tenterhooks and will strictly forbid the Cloud Village from attacking Hakugumo Yosuke.

The Fourth Raikage either needs to find a way to get rid of him, or he should ruthlessly replace the Daimyo and other nobles and carry out a major purge.

However, the Hidden Cloud Village certainly didn't have the courage for the latter, so they could only choose the former.

Besides the two Jinchuriki, the biggest threat to Shirakumo Yosuke is this chakra cannon; it has a longer range than a perfect Jinchuriki and has no life force, making it difficult to defend against.

After seizing the Chakra Cannon, Yosuke Shirakumo encountered Killer Bee. He originally intended to take advantage of the situation to eliminate Killer Bee in Kumogakure, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Raikage also returned with him.

With the two of them working together, the success of Shirakumo Yosuke's plan would be zero. Moreover, the number of Kumo ninja gathering was increasing, and the Nine-Tails' chakra within him was almost exhausted. He could only bring the four members and Kimimaro back first.

"You're really bold, you stupid disciple!"

Tsunade was terrified when she heard this. If it weren't for the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yosuke Shirakumo would have really been defeated by the Hidden Cloud Village. Moreover, he had attacked the Daimyo and nobles of the Land of Lightning. If word got out...

Shirokumo Yosuke said, "Don't worry, Tsunade-sensei. I am also a nobleman. The daimyo of the Land of Fire won't have any ill feelings towards me because of this. Besides, the relationship between the daimyo of the five great nations isn't as good as you might think."

Nobles only unite against ninjas to protect their own interests; however, Shirakumo Yosuke is a shogun of the daimyo's mansion, so he can be considered a nobleman as well.

How could a daimyo possibly give up the longevity promised to him by Yosuke Shirakumo just because he is the daimyo of the Land of Lightning?

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then bit her finger and asked, "Will the Cloud Ninja continue their attack?"

"I don't know. Unless the Fourth Raikage first settles things with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, the Daimyo's mansion and nobles of the Land of Lightning will not allow the Hidden Cloud Village to start a war under my intimidation."

Bai Yun Youjie smiled. Those people all had the Flying Thunder God mark on their bodies. If the Cloud Ninja started another war, they would risk their lives. Unless the Fourth Raikage killed all the nobles of the Land of Lightning, they would have no choice but to compromise.

But the Fourth Raikage clearly didn't have that much courage.

"By the way, Tsunade-sensei, Kimimaro killed quite a few Cloud Ninja this time. Although he wasn't a Konoha ninja, he still deserves some credit, right?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, crossed her arms, and asked, "That brat who catches bamboo twigs, just say what you want to say directly. Why are you beating around the bush with me?"

Bai Yunyoujie immediately flattered, "As expected of Tsunade-sensei, my thoughts can't be hidden from you at all. Kimimaro seems to have contracted a bloodline disease, so I would like to ask Tsunade-sensei to help treat him."

"Orochimaru has no choice? Even though that guy doesn't understand medical ninjutsu, he's been experimenting on humans for so long, he must have researched a lot of bloodline limits!"

Tsunade pursed her lips and said that as a medical ninja, she looked down on Orochimaru's human experiments that didn't care about human lives.

However, since this was Shirakumo Yosuke's request, Tsunade agreed after a moment's thought.

"I'll check him over first, but the specific treatment will have to wait until we get back to the village. You can bring him to me then."

"As expected of the kindest teacher, Tsunade, this disciple has finally gained some face."

Tsunade was overjoyed to hear this, as it was rare to hear this brat praise her. However, she suppressed her smile and scoffed, "Hmph... it's just a bloodline disease, nothing to worry about."

"How could that be? In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, Tsunade-sensei is the kindest to me. No one else can compare to her!"

"It's not as good as you say, it's just a small matter."

At this moment, Tsunade's lips could no longer be suppressed as she smiled upwards.

Shiraku Yosuke was almost unable to suppress a chuckle. Older women are so easy to fool, even easier to manipulate than a stall. He already knew how to manipulate Tsunade in the future.

"Hi, Yugito, I'm leaving the village in your care. I need to go to the capital."

The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice, "If anything unexpected happens, listen to Tsuchidai and Azaburo, and discuss it with them."

"Lord Raikage, let me go to the capital with you. There shouldn't be any enemies invading the village now, and the person you and Bee defeated last time shouldn't be coming back anytime soon."

Tsuchida spoke up, sighing inwardly. He was a little worried that the Fourth Raikage might cause trouble for the daimyo and nobles in the capital, so he had to go with him.

"That works too, Tutai, come with me."

The Fourth Raikage didn't think much of it. In the past, when he went out to do errands, either he was dressed in burlap sack or Tsuchida accompanied him, and they could help him handle a lot of trivial matters.

The outcome of this war was an unbearable tragedy for the Hidden Cloud Village.

A ninja army of thousands was defeated by one person. Today, the Cloud Ninja have witnessed just how troublesome and terrifying someone who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique, possesses the power of a tailed beast, and whose behavior crosses all lines can be.

The previous Fourth Hokage only clashed with them on the battlefield.

As enemies, the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee also admired the Fourth Hokage, believing him to be a true powerhouse.

But just mentioning Shirakumo Yosuke's name would make the Fourth Raikage and others grit their teeth in hatred, wishing they could tear him apart alive.

This was the first time they had encountered an enemy who used daimyo and nobles to threaten them, and who frequently launched surprise attacks on the Hidden Cloud Village, showing no regard for the lives of ordinary people.

If the Fourth Raikage hadn't come back with him, Killer Bee would have had a real hard time dealing with this alone; because he couldn't fully transform into a tailed beast within the Hidden Cloud Village, Killer Bee had too many concerns.

Soon, the Fourth Raikage and his party arrived at the capital, Daimyo's residence, and were welcomed inside after being announced.

However, all the servants in the Daming Prefecture have been replaced by new people, and even the steward of the Daming Prefecture has been replaced by new people. In the massacre the day before yesterday, only Daming and a few others did not die. Even those who survived all had the Flying Thunder God mark on their bodies.

"Your Excellency, Daimyo."

The Fourth Raikage greeted the Daimyo in a deep voice, but before the Daimyo could reply, he couldn't suppress his anger and asked, "Why do you want a ceasefire? If we just hold on a little longer, we can defeat Konoha. Until then, the Daimyo and other ministers can stay in Kumogakure. I will send many ninjas to protect you."

"How do we protect it!?"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning cried out in a shrill voice, his voice cracking with fear.

"Those heads are right in front of me! That kunai is against my neck!! Where are you? Where are my ninja protectors??"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning pointed to an empty space and said that all the heads of the daimyo's family were laid out there, almost forming a small mountain, which scared him so much that he wet himself on the spot.

The Fourth Raikage shouted, "The Hidden Cloud Village can protect you, as long as this war is over."

"Who can guarantee that?! Who can guarantee our safety?!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning screamed, overwhelmed by fear, no longer believing the Fourth Raikage's words.

"No war! Absolutely no war! Unless that person dies, the Hidden Cloud Village will not allow war!! Fourth Raikage, this is not a discussion, this is a notification!"

After calming his fear somewhat, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning stared intently at the Fourth Raikage and said, "If the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't obey the Daimyo's orders, then the Daimyo's forces will cut off all assistance to the Hidden Cloud Village from now on—all of it!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage flew into a rage. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and he couldn't possibly tolerate being denied such a huge grudge.

Before the Fourth Raikage could finish speaking, Tsuchidai interrupted, saying, "We understand. However, wars are not something that can be ended just like that. Your Excellency, please allow us to go back and discuss this. Until then, Kumogakure will absolutely protect your safety and that of all the ministers."

"Tutai."

"Raikage-sama!"

The Fourth Raikage wanted to say something, but seeing Tsuchida's pleading expression, he suppressed his anger and the words he wanted to say.

Upon hearing Tsuchikage's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning regained some composure and said, "Lord Raikage, we have trusted and understood each other before, but this time I hope you will understand me and not risk our lives to start a war!"
