Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 95 The Hyuga Clan's Marriage Alliance

The Hyuga clan is the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, according to their own statement.

Looking at it now, that's certainly true. After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, other ninja clans couldn't match the Hyuga clan in terms of the number of ninjas, not to mention that the Hyuga clan possessed the Byakugan, one of the three great dojutsu of the ninja world.

Chunin uniforms offer decent protection, offering some protection against kunai and shuriken, but they are completely ineffective against Gentle Fist.

Ignoring the body's surface defenses and directly attacking internal organs, even a slight graze can cause injury—that's the essence of Soft Fist.

It does sound very impressive, and the Hyuga clan has also gained considerable fame on the battlefield, which makes the Cloud Ninja both love and hate the Byakugan. That's why they used that method to steal the Byakugan when the peace treaty was signed last time.

After arriving at the Hyuga clan, Shirokumo Yosuke was led around by someone who was very well prepared with proper etiquette, but he still felt a sense of oppression.

Upon arriving at Hiashi Hyuga's house, after announcing his arrival, another maid went in to inform him, and then Hiashi Hyuga personally came out to greet him.

This whole process was so awkward that Shiraku Yosuke couldn't take it anymore.

After a maid came and served tea and left, Shiraku Yosuke finally breathed a sigh of relief, and could finally get down to business.

"Lord Hakuun, welcome to the Hyuga family. I invited you here to express my gratitude, and also to discuss something with you."

Hiashi Hyuga spoke to Yosuke Shirakumo with a serious expression. Although the two were quite different in age, with Yosuke Shirakumo being almost the same age as his daughter, Hiashi Hyuga still treated Yosuke Shirakumo as an equal.

Even Shirakumo Yosuke's status was slightly higher.

"The Hyuga clan and the Kumogakure have an irreconcilable hatred. We are very grateful to Lord Hakuun for teaching the Kumogakure a lesson this time. Although it was not for the sake of the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan will always be sincerely grateful to you."

"So that's what it was about. Then don't be so polite, just call me Yosuke, head of the Hyuga family."

Shirokumo Yosuke picked up his teacup, took a sip, and found the taste quite good. However, now was not the time to appreciate tea, so he put down the teacup and continued...

"I've also heard about the peace treaty that Konoha and Kumogakure signed last time. It's really regrettable. They were trying to protect their families, but in the end they were forced to hand them over. It's almost the same as this peace treaty."

"Weakness is disgusting, especially weakness from those in positions of power!"

Hiashi Hyuga felt a deep empathy upon hearing this. His younger brother, Hizashi, sometimes did harbor resentment towards the main family and the branch family, but he was still his brother. In the end, however, he was handed over his body because of the peace between the two ninja villages.

The room fell silent. Hiashi Hyuga's hands clenched tightly under the table. After a while, he slowly said, "Yes, Yosuke Shirakumo-kun, you're right. This is indeed extremely painful. I'd rather die on the battlefield than let Hizashi end his life like this!"

For peace!

What did they do wrong? That they should sacrifice their brother's life for peace?

"That's all in the past. I'm powerless to avenge my brother, but I heard from my clansmen that it was Yang Jie who severely injured the Cloud Ninja. That's why I invited you to come and visit as a token of my gratitude."

Hiashi Hyuga spoke first, then fell silent for a moment as if thinking, before continuing after a minute or two.

"Besides that, there's something else I'd like to discuss with Yosuke-kun."

Bai Yunyou asked with curiosity, "What is it?"

dong dong!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the door to the reception room was opened. Shiraku Yosuke turned around and saw a familiar face—Hinata Hyuga, who was holding tea and snacks.

"Father, Yo...Yosuke, I'm here to bring you some sweets."

Hinata Hyuga stammered as she spoke, her head slightly lowered, before slowly placing the tea and snacks on the table and gradually retreating.

After Hinata Hyuga left, Hiashi Hyuga spoke up, "Lord Hakuun, how is my daughter Hinata?"

"Uh? She's cute and kind, but Hyuga clan head, why are you asking this?"

Hiashi Hyuga said solemnly, "The other reason I invited Yosuke-kun is that I hope to marry my daughter to you."

"Uh, marrying down to the head of the Hyuga clan, you mean Hinata Hyuga?"

Bai Yun Youjie was taken aback. He had thought that the Hyuga clan wanted to negotiate and cooperate with him, or even consider electing the Fifth Hokage, but he did not expect it to be this kind of thing.

"That's right, my daughter is the same age as you, Yosuke. To be honest, Hinata doesn't have the talent to be a ninja, and she won't inherit the main family in the future. Her destiny is to marry out and manage her family well."

Hiashi Hyuga paused for a moment, then continued to say to Yosuke Shirakumo, "There is no one more outstanding than Yosuke-kun in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, or even the entire Land of Fire, and you are the same age as my daughter."

Although it's a bit early to say this, choosing the right path for my child is the last thing a father can do for her. After all, I am still the head of the Hyuga clan, and I can't devote all my energy to Hinata."

"Master Xiang, this matter is somewhat unexpected for me. I cannot give you an immediate answer, and I also have something to discuss with you today."

After skipping over that topic, Shirokumo Yosuke spoke to Hyuga Hiashi about another matter: "The Fourth Hokage has died, so a new Hokage should be elected. It's really unreasonable for the Third Hokage to return to power, especially since nine years have passed. There are suitable candidates in Konoha."

"."

Hiashi Hyuga immediately understood what Yosuke Shirakumo meant. Right now, there were only two people in the village most suitable to be the Fifth Hokage: Jiraiya and Tsunade.

As both the shogun of the Land of Fire and Tsunade's disciple, Yosuke Shiraku's words to him were certainly not meant to be a lecture to Jiraiya.

Hiashi Hyuga fell into deep thought: should he declare his support for Yosuke Shirakumo and Tsunade, using the power of the Hyuga clan to support them, or should he remain neutral as before?

This choice put Hiashi Hyuga in a difficult position. The Hyuga clan had previously maintained a high degree of independence in the village, thanks to the Byakugan and the special abilities of the Caged Bird Seal. No one could ignore the Hyuga clan, but at the same time, the Hyuga clan had to be taken seriously.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't want to get involved in this matter and wanted to maintain the Hyuga clan's independent and aloof existence. However, he had just said that he wanted to marry Hinata Hyuga to Yosuke Shirakumo, and he found it hard to refuse now.

However, supporting Tsunade means that the Hyuga clan has taken sides. If the Third Hokage wants Jiraiya to become the Fifth Hokage, then the Hyuga clan will be on the opposite side of the Sarutobi clan and other ninja clans.

The room fell silent for a moment. Shirokumo Yosuke then focused on sipping his tea and refrained from saying anything else that might influence Hyuga Hiashi's judgment.

After a moment of silence, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly spoke up: "Yosuke-kun, may I ask a question? I really can't make a decision if I don't understand this."

Bai Yunyang nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask. I'll try my best to answer you if I can."

"Why would someone from another village suddenly be taken in as a disciple by Lady Tsunade? And why was the information kept so secret, with the entire village helping to cover for him, and in the end, he even became a shogun?"

Hiashi Hyuga's expression was solemn. This was the most crucial factor influencing his decision. He simply couldn't understand what kind of magic Shirakumo Yosuke possessed that would make so many people help him.

Hakuun Yosuke put down his teacup, smiled, and said, "Head of the Hyuga family, if you were taking an exam and suddenly you were given the answers, could you possibly get them wrong?"

Hiashi Hyuga said thoughtfully, "Yosuke-kun, what do you mean?"

"Those who chose to help me all dreamed about the future. They helped me after seeing what would happen in the future. Some people made different choices, and they will end up like the Hidden Cloud Village. So, Hyuga clan head, the choice is up to you, but once you've made your choice, you can't regret it."

Upon hearing what Shiraku Yosuke said, Hyuga Hiashi could no longer remain calm; his face was filled with astonishment.

He didn't believe that Shiraku Yosuke would lie to him with such words, which meant that it was true!

"Dreaming about the future, is it possible that something like this can actually happen?"

Seeing Yosuke Shirakumo's calm and composed expression, Hiashi Hyuga was completely convinced.

Only when one dreams of the future will they choose to place a bet, and a large one at that. Hiashi Hyuga quickly understood Tsunade and the others' actions. Combined with the information he had gathered before, the strange reasons for the Cloud Village's war made him understand most of it at once.

"In that case, the Hyuga clan will fully support Lady Tsunade in becoming the Fifth Hokage, Yosuke-kun."

"You won't regret this decision, Hyuga clan head. At least Tsunade-sensei won't hand over her own people just to avoid war."

Shiraku Yosuke smiled and continued, "Besides this matter, there's also a personal matter of mine."

The next personal matter I'll discuss is about making money in business. Unless you completely transform into a robber and steal whatever you need, money and resources are the foundation for your actions.

Yosuke Shirakumo hasn't yet gone to ask Kazuma about the progress of the ninja game, but given Kazuma's loyalty to him, he shouldn't disappoint him.

The Hyuga clan has quite a few connections in the ninja world. To maintain such rigid etiquette and expenses, the Hyuga clan must have considerable influence. Hakuun Yosuke remembers that they are distant relatives of the Taketori clan.

After discussing for a while, Shiraku Yosuke finally took his leave, satisfied. He had gotten the result he wanted today, and the strength of the Hyuga clan should not be underestimated.

All we need to do now is wait for Tsunade to return. With Konoha's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for them to withstand the war in the Land of Grass. Moreover, Hyuga Yosuke just talked to Hyuga Hiashi about the war in the Land of Grass, and the Hyuga clan also has special channels to obtain information.

"Yo, Yosuke."

Not long after Shirokumo Yosuke left the Hyuga clan, he heard someone running towards him from behind, calling his name.

Looking back, he saw Hinata Hyuga, who was running up to him with a flushed face and breathing slowly.

"It's Hinata. What's up?"

"It's...it's what Father just mentioned."

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head shyly, and her voice grew softer and softer. If it weren't for her good hearing, Yosuke Shirakumo wouldn't have been able to hear what Hinata Hyuga was saying at all.

"Hinata, what exactly are you trying to say? If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"No, no!"

Pressed like this, Hinata Hyuga immediately blushed with anxiety, her small, white hands fidgeting with her fingers. But thinking of the person she loved, she mustered her courage and said timidly, "...marriage...could...Yosuke-kun...please...refuse?"

"I... I have someone I like, so... please."

"To be honest, I was also a bit surprised to hear about this today. After all, you're only ten years old, and you've never really spoken to Hinata before. It was really sudden for the Hyuga clan head to bring this up today."

Upon hearing Shiraku Yosuke's words, Hinata Hyuga was overjoyed, a smile slowly spreading across her face. She clasped her hands together expectantly and asked, "Then, then, Yosuke-kun..."

"But it's not convenient for me to say it. Hinata, you should go and explain it to the head of the Hyuga clan yourself."

Bai Yunyousuke abruptly changed the subject, directly refusing Hinata Hyuga's offer, saying, "I just reached an agreement with the head of the Hyuga clan today. Not immediately agreeing to this is already a delay. If I were to refuse outright, it would be too disrespectful to the head of the Hyuga clan, and it might even affect our cooperation. So I won't say anything."

"Huh!?"

Hinata Hyuga became anxious upon hearing these words, her small face filled with a bewildered expression, and tears slowly welled up in her white pupils.

"But, but I..."

"Go ahead and talk to him. If you have someone you like, then go for it yourself. The head of the Hyuga family is still your father. You should talk to him properly. Even if I were to speak to him, I would at least wait until the cooperation is stable."

After finishing his sentence, Shirokumo Yosuke waved goodbye to Hinata Hyuga, saying, "That's all for now. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now, Hinata-san."

After saying that, Shiraku Yosuke turned and left.

Hinata Hyuga stood there in a daze, only reacting after Yosuke Shirakumo left. After standing there for a while, she walked home with a dejected look on her face.

She dared not disobey her father's orders, nor did she dare tell him that she liked Naruto Uzumaki. After overhearing this outside the door, the last bit of courage she mustered was to go out and find Yosuke Shirakumo, hoping that he would reject her.

However, Hinata Hyuga was disappointed; she failed to persuade Yosuke Shirakumo.

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

"Kazuma, how's the ninja game research going?"

At night, Shirakumo Yosuke used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at Kazuma's residence.

Now that Tsunade is no longer in the village, although the benefits of being an older woman are gone, Yosuke Shirakumo has suddenly become free and can freely roam the ninja world using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"It has been successfully developed, and following the leader's instructions, we have created a series of story segments. This research is for the First Shinobi World War."

Kazuma explained while trying to conceal his true intentions from Yosuke Shirakumo, though he was a bit clumsy when he opened the game.

Upon seeing this, Baiyun Yangjie couldn't help but say, "It's tough on you and Ma, having to do things you're not good at. Once we find more people, you won't have to suffer like this anymore."

He Ma quickly replied, "I am willing to serve the leader, but I am too stupid to learn these things well."

"No need to say that, Kazuma. Your abilities lie in another area. I will have other things to ask of you later."

After finishing his explanation, Shirokumo Yosuke tried it out. The first ninja game was quite fun, and you could choose from five ninja villages and participate in wars from five different main storylines.

Regardless of which ninja village you choose, you'll eventually have the chance to lead your team to victory, which is why this ninja game is so popular in the ninja world.

"Well done. In a couple of days, a Hyuga clan ninja will contact your relative. I've already discussed it with the Hyuga clan head, and they will help as well."

After putting down the game console, Baiyun Yangjie gave the order. He could already imagine how much money this game could make; even in the first year, it could earn him hundreds of millions of taels.

If they continue to develop and sell ninja-related merchandise, they will soon have the opportunity to become the wildly popular ninja game of the Boruto era, easily generating billions of taels a year.

This way, Hakuun Yosuke can get many things done.

"There's one more thing. Tomorrow, please give this to the Daimyo and have him send some death row inmates to Konoha through the Daimyo's office for human experiments to study the human potential needed for longevity."

Shirokumo Yosuke handed Kazuma a scroll containing his request to the daimyo.

With the involvement of the Daimyo's office, and the fact that all the subjects of the human experiments were death row inmates, no one could find fault with them. The procedures were even more formal than those of the Second Hokage back then, and the Daimyo's office was much more efficient than if we had to collect the information ourselves.

War breeds crime, and crime brings prisoners, who then become the victims of Orochimaru's research.

After explaining everything, Shirakumo Yosuke returned to Konoha.

However, before he rested, Shiraku Yosuke used his omniscient ability to calculate the forbidden technique of Reanimation Jutsu.

However, Shiraku Yosuke forced himself to end his omniscience ability in just one minute, when the alarm rang.

"Orochimaru, that idiot! He's got too many flaws. This isn't reincarnation; he's a parasite!"

The Reincarnation of the Corpse does not destroy the spirit of the reincarnated person, but rather parasitizes the spirit space of the reincarnated person like a parasite. However, the reincarnated person controls the main consciousness.

This is too risky. Even if the mind of the reincarnated person is controlled, they still exist. While inheriting their abilities, the reincarnated person also inherits a vast amount of useless memories and experiences, which become a burden.

The more times you reincarnate, the greater the burden!

Bai Yunyoujie thought to himself, his face pale, "Fortunately, it only took a minute, so it wasn't too much of a burden for me. But without the Nine-Tails' chakra, using my omniscience ability is really uncomfortable."

He tried hard to recall his memories of being in Tsunade's arms, thinking about that older woman many times; but it was no use. He still couldn't muster any interest, and even if he had the strength, he didn't want to stand up.

"Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Yosuke Shiraku didn't want to do anything right now, so he just lay down on the floor and fell asleep. He hadn't used up much chakra, only a minute, but the omniscience ability manifested as a mental burden.

"I need to find an opportunity to obtain some more Nine-Tails chakra, or become a Jinchūriki myself."
