Konoha's task master

Akatsuki organization base.

The blood stains on the contract scroll that should have solidified, but on the surface of the scroll... bloomed and penetrated into the scroll without leaving any traces.

Signing failed...

Yakumo was a little stunned, and Jiraiya was also stunned at the same time. Then Jiraiya quickly formed seals with his hands.

"bump."

Fukasaku Sennin wearing a gray cloak appeared.

Jiraiya immediately explained why.

Fukasaku spoke.

"Yakumo boy, please make another contract... try it."

"good…"

Yakumo bit his finger and rewrote his name...

Yahiko, Konan, Uzumaki Nagato, and Uzumaki Rina also gathered around and carefully observed the changes on the scroll.

As time goes by…

"Jing Yakumo"... three words, finished writing.

The next second, the text exploded.

Turned into blood splash!

"I see…"

Fukasaku Sennin's eyes brightened slightly and he continued to speak.

"The psychic beast you contracted with before is rejecting the establishment of your contract with Miaomushan. In other words, your body has been occupied by other psychic beasts."

"This is impossible……!"

Yakumo shook his head and immediately retorted that he had never signed a contract with any psychic beast at all.

"Try forming a seal..." Jiraiya said.

"Okay...I'll try."

"Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei..."

"Psychicism!"

Yakumo put his hand on the ground.

Black ink streaks spread outward from Zhang's heart.

"bump."

White smoke rises.

In front of Yakumo, a black and white cat with a round body appeared out of thin air. At this time, it was looking around sleepily.

"Meow meow meow…?"

"Wow, what a fat cat."

Xiaonan sighed subconsciously.

"Meow...!!"

The milk ball turned into black and white lightning and rushed towards Xiao Nan.

Yakumo's expression changed slightly, remembering the terrifying power of the milk ball and his dangerous personality that likes to demolish homes.

No longer hesitate.

"boom."

Yakumo was helpless and lifted the psychic spell.

He asked reluctantly.

"Fukasaku Sage...can he practice sage mode without contracting to Mt. Myoboku...?"

"Of course not..."

Fukasaku shook his head and answered immediately.

"Okay, now that the reason has been found, I will return to Miaomu Mountain first. The old lady at home is still waiting for me to have dinner, croak croak..."

A touch.

Fukasaku Sennin...disappears.

"I'll try again..." Yakumo said.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Yakumo formed the seal.

"Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei——!"

"Psychicism..."

The smoke cleared…

The milk ball rushed towards Yakumo and hit Manhuai.

"Meow...!!?" The milk ball's cry was very milky and fierce.

"I've prepared... delicious food for you."

The milk balls immediately... died down.

The proud iron-eating beast will only bow down because of delicious food.

Yakumo took out the storage scroll and began to take out all kinds of food from it, including the grass green fruit unique to the Land of Grass, and the eel grilled rice balls purchased in Amegakure Village.

The milk ball quickly picked up the food and devoured it.

Xiao Nan squatted down and started to pet the cat.

The fur is smooth and feels great.

Jiraiya looked thoughtfully at the big black and white cat in front of him. He was sure that this cat had considerable intelligence, but its combat power was unknown.

"How...is this cat's fighting ability?"

Jiraiya asked.

"I only used one punch to subdue it."

Yakumo answered seriously.

"Very weak...?"

Jiraiya squatted down and turned the milk ball over... Looking carefully, the milk ball let out a few unhappy sounds, hooked the food with his front paws, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

With delicious food first, Milk Ball decided to temporarily forgive this man's rude behavior. Unfortunately, Jiraiya's quest for death was far from over.

"Let's do a minor surgery on it quickly, so as not to have a litter of kittens every year after spring."

"You put it like that...it might be...unhappy."

Yakumo subconsciously moved away from Jiraiya and disconnected the psychic technique at the same time, but it was already a step too late.

The milk ball's hind legs exerted force, and the short legs were printed on Jiraiya's chest. The next second, Jiraiya flew out like a cannonball and hit the wall heavily.

"Ahem..."

Jiraiya struggled to get up, coughing a few times.

Then he asked in confusion.

Didn't you just use one punch when you subdued him!?"

"That's right, it's just a punch." Yakumo replied.

Yakumo formed the seal and began to use medical ninjutsu to check Jiraiya's injuries. Fortunately, the milk ball's kick still had enough power to spare, and Jiraiya's injuries were not aggravated.

The education during this period was still very useful, and the wildness of the milk ball itself was eliminated a lot. Even if he was unhappy, he did not take the initiative to hurt others... and broke up the family to vent his anger.

"You psychic beast... you are extraordinary."

Jiraiya sighed, holding his chest.

The speed that burst out in that moment even gave him no time to react... before he was knocked away.

"It's too delicious to be cooked, but not useful enough."

Yakumo complained and lifted the psychic spell.

This time, the Sage Mode should be completely out of the question. Now...the only option is to create his own Sage Mode. The good news is that there is a...messenger between him and Masako Mori.

"Jiraiya-sama, I suggest you... always maintain the sage mode. I personally feel that the senjutsu chakra will subtly improve your body and increase the strength of your body." Yakumo instructed before leaving.

At the same time, two shadow clones were left behind...

"Bon Voyage."

Jiraiya meant something.

Rina Uzumaki was about to follow Yakumo, but was stopped by Jiraiya. She explained the reason in just two sentences.

Yakumo jumped into the rain and used his strength to run towards the business district at an extremely fast speed.

Five minutes later, the business district was in sight. Yakumo slowed down and secretly wondered why Genbu hadn't taken action yet.

"Uh-huh."

Two ninjas wearing ghost masks stood in front of Yakumo and spoke coldly.

"Come with us, Elder Danzo... I have something to ask you."

The two ninjas took out ANBU identification cards.

Every resident of Konoha Hidden Village has the obligation to cooperate with ANBU's inquiries. If Yakumo refuses at this time, they will take action immediately without any hesitation.

There was no ups and downs in their voices, and their tone was cold from beginning to end... without any emotion, colder than the drizzle in the sky.

"I will cooperate with the questioning, please rest assured."

After Yakumo pretended to check the Anbu's identity certificate, he nodded quickly and said.

"Don't worry, it's just a simple question...come with us."

"Okay..." Yakumo responded.

The three of them immediately changed direction and left the Yuyin Village area ten minutes later. The light rain in the sky suddenly became very fast and heavy, making a crisp sound when it fell on the poncho.

"Put this on your eyes."

Shortly after leaving Amegakure Village, two root ninjas took out a three-finger-wide black cloth from their arms and handed it to Yakumo.

After Yakumo took it, he closed his eyes and tied the black cloth.

Not long after, he felt himself being carried on someone's back, and the only sounds around him were the splashing of raindrops and the sound of high-speed moving wind.

For eight days, I silently recited the numbers in my heart...

At the same time, the shadow clone who stayed behind in Yuyin Village channeled a milk ball. Although it looks like a cat, it has a much stronger sense of smell than a hunting dog.

One of the shadow clones and the milk ball melted into the night and ran towards the main body at an extremely fast speed.

The other one... returns to the hotel with Rina Uzumaki.

On the other hand, Yakumo felt that the rain around him stopped. The air became dry, and there seemed to be lights in front of his eyes... A minute later, he was placed on the ground.

"You can take off the black scarf now."

Hear the words.

Yakumo immediately took action to untie the black cloth in front of his eyes. The sudden brightness made him subconsciously narrow his eyes.

On the stone chair, Danzo, who was bald and had his legs crossed, was observing Yakumo with very curious eyes.

In the past few months, he had heard the name Ii Yakumo several times. He had the talent of photographic memory and was a genius born among common people. In the final exam, he crushed Uchiha Tsunei head-on... and won.

Danzo saw the shadow of Namikaze Minato in Yakumo, and he had already missed Namikaze Minato. Naturally, he didn't want to miss Yakumo in front of him. Danzo quickly put on what he thought was a kind and kind smile.

Yakumo gradually adapted to the bright light, opened his eyes and looked at Danzo, only to see an evil smile on his face.

"Yakumo..."

"I am extremely optimistic about your future. Do you want to join Roots and work with me... to protect the growth of Konoha, a big tree in the dark?"

"..." Yakumo was a little confused by the question.

Then he secretly observed his surroundings.

This is a secret room with a very dry environment. Although it is most likely located underground, it is brightly lit. Standing behind Danzo are two root ninjas. In terms of strength... they should be at the elite jounin level.

A bit difficult to do.

"Are you Danzo-sama...?"

Yakumo asked with some uncertainty.

"That's right... I'm Danzo Shimura."

Danzo stood up and admitted, continuing to ask.

"How about...do you want to add the roots?"

This is not in line with the script... Normally Danzo should ask himself viciously why Jiraiya came to the Hidden Rain Village, and Yakumo can wait for an opportunity to assassinate him while telling the story.

"Danzo-sama, I'm even more curious. What is the thing you sent to call me to ask about...?"

Yakumo is determined to push the plot back on track.

"It's not important... I'll ask you again if you want to join the Roots and protect Konoha in secret with me?"

Danzo asked again, a chill flashing in his eyes.

"Right now, I want to focus on my studies and join the Roots... I want to wait until I graduate before thinking about it..."

A look of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Gen nin behind the stone chair. This young man dared to reject Danzo-sama!

"Okay... let's talk about it later..."

Danzo suppressed his anger, and his failure in recruiting Namikaze Minato made him understand that recruiting geniuses requires patience.

"Then...what is it that Danzo-sama wants to ask about?"

Yakumo asked again.

"Ahem, I want to ask about what happened to you and Jiraiya in Kusakure Village." Danzo covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

After he was seriously injured by Hatake Sakumo last time, the medical ninja immediately treated him, but his lungs were left with hidden problems, and he occasionally felt stuffy in his lungs and couldn't breathe.

Yakumo's eyes brightened slightly, this plot is right...

Wait a moment…!

Danzo asked about Kusakure Village, not Amegakure Village. Yakumo didn't understand why Danzo cared so much about Kusakure Village...

Yakumo lowered his head and began to think quickly.

The Thirteen Ninja Xumi have been roaming the borders of the Land of Fire for ten years, escaping ANBU attacks several times. Is it just because of the protection of Kusakure Village...?

wrong…!

Danzo would be concerned about the situation in Kusugakure Village because it must be because Kusugakure Village has a connection with him. Could it be that he was delivering news to Kusugakure Village within Konoha, which led to Kusugakure Village manipulating the Sumeru Thirteen Ninja to run amok?

Ten years of peace and quiet.

If analyzed this way, the two should be a money transaction. Kusakuin Village is looking for a way to survive, while Danzo is looking for money to expand his roots.

Expanding the roots... naturally requires investment. This money is not enough to be allocated by the Hokage alone. It is reasonable for Danzo to take risks.

Yakumo smiled inwardly and had a plan in mind.

At the same time...he opened his mouth to answer.

"Jiraiya-sama, after discovering the true identity of the Sumeru Thirteen Ninjas, he once sneaked into the secret intelligence room of Kusagakure Village and took out a scroll."

"reel…"

Danzo slowly sat back on the stone chair... and began to observe Yakumo's expression and analyze the authenticity of this matter.

What happened during this period has made Sarutobi Hiruzen extremely dissatisfied with him. If that scroll is really evidence of his collusion with Kusakure Village, he will most likely lose the power he finally held.

Danzo waved his hand, and the ninja behind the stone chair immediately put his ear to listen, and he spoke very quietly.

Five seconds later, the two root ninjas left the secret room.

After dozens of seconds, Danzo continued to ask.

"Yakumo..."

"Later, have you ever seen that scroll?"

Yakumo suppressed the surprise in his heart as much as possible and answered Danzo in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Of course I've seen it."

Danzo asked somewhat eagerly.

"Where have I seen..."

"The scroll is in my hand. Jiraiya plans to stay with the three disciples in the Land of Rain for a few months, so he ordered me to return to Konoha tomorrow and hand it over to the Third Hokage..." Yakumo answered with his head lowered.

Danzo's face was filled with joy. He knew the relationship between Jiraiya and Yahiko very well. It was reasonable to say that the Ini Yakumo in front of him seemed like his lucky star.

"Give me the scroll quickly."

Danzo's one eye was filled with bloodshot eyes, and he ordered Yakumo with some urgency.

"This...Jiraiya-sama has ordered that the scroll can only be given to the Third Hokage..."

Yakumo's face turned slightly pale and he spoke with some fear.

"I said...give me the scroll!"

Danzo emphasized his tone... and ordered sternly.

At this time, he had already lost some of his calmness.

He deeply understood that what was happening in front of him was too smooth. When he was afraid of the evidence with the top management of Caoyin Village, someone immediately came to the door with evidence.

This is most likely a trap, but so what if this timid and cowardly young man in front of me can make a huge difference...?

Danzo gradually controlled the spread of Yin Chakra, covering it on the surface of Yakumo's body, and even began to penetrate into the inside of the body. He felt it carefully... only then was he completely relieved.

He discovered that the chakra in Yakumo's body was too little... so little that it was not worthy of his attention, and so little that it could not cause him any harm at all.

The most important thing is the scroll, which is the key to ensuring that he can continue to hold on to power.

At this moment, Danzo could no longer care about his plan to summon Yakumo into the root... He even had a murderous intention towards Yakumo in his heart.

"Okay, I'll take it now... sir..."

At this time, Yakumo's body was shaking violently, and the pupils of his eyes kept shrinking, as if fear had taken over his mind.

Yakumo barely suppressed the trembling of his body and took out the scroll from the storage...a dark green scroll that can channel the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima.

He took two trembling steps forward and handed the dark green scroll to Danzo, who...immediately took it and opened it somewhat roughly.

Inside the dark green scroll, which is filled with extremely complex ink patterns, is...a huge frog character in the center.

"What is this?!" Danzo asked angrily.

Yakumo's whole body trembled even more intensely.

"Need...to inject chakra into the core of the scroll..."

Danzo saw Yakumo trembling because of fear, and felt even more reassured. It would be impossible for such a coward to achieve anything big, and the murderous intention in his heart became even stronger. Such a coward is not worthy of joining the Roots!

Yakumo is not in a good state at this time...

Danzo's chakra was invading his body unscrupulously, and his huge amount of chakra... seemed like a beast whose territory had been invaded, starting to roll and roar!

Crazy impact on the seal in the body, Yakumo's trembling is not acting, but more because... the seal is unstable.

At this time the outside world.

Yakumo's shadow clone was clinging to the ground, letting the sand flow along his collar and against his skin. Allowing the cold to invade his body, the mission of this shadow clone was to strangle the remaining root ninjas.

Until the shadow clone... witnessed two root elite jonin leaving the underground base and flying towards the direction of Yuyin Village.

A smile of victory could not help but appear on my face...

The shadow clone immediately stood up, suppressed the chakra fluctuations in his body, quickly shuttled through the rain curtain, and posted the detonating charms at the entrance of the underground base.

Wait quietly.

The moment the frog croaks...

Continuous...detonation!

In the secret room... Danzo didn't think.

Immediately inject chakra into the scroll...

Five seconds later... His expression changed slightly. Unlocking this scroll required more chakra than he thought, but this also proved the importance of this scroll from the side.

Danzo was a little cautious and surrounded by chakra.

Yakumo swallowed subconsciously, and his eyes flashed with anticipation. He had been waiting for this day for a long time...

Danzo worked harder to inject chakra, but he didn't know that what was hidden in the scroll was actually his... Death!

Ten seconds later, the white smoke dispersed.

A look of surprise appeared on Danzo's face, and he subconsciously looked at Yakumo. The boy who he thought was very timid and timid was staring at him calmly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his dark eyes.

How dare he look at me like this!?

Danzo was extremely angry...looking down at the scroll...

But what he saw was not a letter, but two old toads but full of energy, which reminded him of Jiraiya, known as the Toad Sage...

"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!"

The deafening sound of frogs croaking...

Danzo subconsciously jumped back, but he suddenly found that he had lost control of his body, as if he was fixed in the air by a very strong force...

The incident happened extremely suddenly... In just one second, Danzo lost all power to resist and became a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this moment, Yakumo waved his silver sword!

The chakra broke out of the body and instantly disintegrated the barrier formed by Danzo's cold chakra. It was like a bright white armor draped around his body. The massive amount of chakra surged and roared... like bursts of dragon roar!

Danzo was horrified!

How is it possible... so many!?

Whoa...the next second, the head soared into the sky!

The next second, a terrifying explosion came from the outside world, followed closely by the continuous screams of the root ninja.

Yakumo's shadow clone is carrying the monkey, and is using mercy to quickly cleanse the root ninja, without getting close at all... without aiming.

In a tight space...thirty-two strikes per second.

It is the way of truth and the light of justice!

It is... "compassion"!

This ninja world is too beautiful to tolerate Danzo's dark and twisted soul. He is destined not to be alone in the underworld...more than thirty root ninjas...accompany him to the underworld.

Fukasaku Sennin nodded to Yakumo.

With a bang, it turned into white smoke and dissipated.

Yakumo collapsed on the ground, holding a ninja sword in both hands.
