Konoha's task master

May 2nd, early morning.

After Yakumo washed and brushed his teeth, he enjoyed the breakfast made by the tool silhouette and opened the task interface. Just yesterday, the monthly tasks and quarterly tasks had been updated.

"Monthly limited edition."

"Every favor must be repaid"

Task requirement: Guide Kakashi to practice ten times.

"Quarterly Feedback"

Additional reward: Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll.

Yakumo waved his hand and put away the task panel and started to quickly finish breakfast. Kakashi was currently in class, so he planned to visit Hatake Sakumo again in the evening.

During the day... I would like to learn the immortal mode.

Because that night Yakumo took action in time to save Yahiko and others. After that day, Jiraiya promised Yakumo that he would convince Fukasaku Sage to bypass the steps of signing a contract and learn the sage mode of Mt. Myoboku.

"Set off!"

Yakumo wiped the milk stains from the corners of his mouth and then opened the door.

Put away the dishes and hand them over to the shadow clone.

The strange thing about Yakumo's return to the village this time was that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't summon him from the beginning to the end, as if he had forgotten about him as a spy.

"Perhaps it has been exposed?"

Yakumo thought to himself on the road.

Mori Masako quickly caught up with Yakumo from behind, patted her shoulder lightly, and the two walked side by side on the street. Yakumo turned to look at Mori Masako, the morning sun shone on Mori Masako from a distance, her face was small

The fluff seems to be glowing with rays of light.

The two walked quietly and separated at the intersection. Yakumo's goal was the training ground of the Senju compound, while Mori Masako was going to study ninja. On the way, Mori Masako didn't ask any more questions about Uzumaki Rina, and Yakumo didn't ask any more questions about Uzumaki Rina.

Yun did not explain further.

Half an hour later, Yakumo walked through the smoky alley and entered the training ground behind the Senju compound. It was still early and Jiraiya had not yet arrived, so Yakumo drew his ninja sword and began to practice.

Hatake Secret Code…over and over again…

It wasn't until beads of sweat broke out on his back that Jiraiya arrived belatedly, smelling of alcohol. Yakumo guessed that Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were having a bad fight, which directly led to Jiraiya borrowing alcohol.

Relieve sorrow.

"Let's go." Jiraiya said.

The two held their arms tightly.

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

Miaomu Mountain, one of the three holy places.

When Yakumo opened his eyes, he found that he was halfway up the mountain, surrounded by horn-shaped peaks, giant plants, and the crisp sound of frogs croaking continuously.

"Hello, Jiraiya-chan, Yakumo-chan."

Fukasaku Sennin greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Fukasaku Sage." Jiraiya said.

"Hello, Fukasaku Sennin." Yakumo responded.

"You two haven't had breakfast yet. Would you like to have some of Mt. Miaomu's specialties?"

"Forget it, forget it..." Jiraiya quickly shook his head.

"I ate it this morning." Yakumo said.

"Oh well."

Shima Sennin standing behind looked a little disappointed.

Immediately, under the leadership of Fukasaku, Yakumo came to the toad oil waterfall in Mt. Myoboku. In the pool surrounded by stones, there lay a huge stone toad spitting out very viscous toad oil from its mouth.

"Ahem." Fukasaku Sennin took out the black stick.

"The Immortal Mode consists of three steps."

"First, feel the natural energy."

"Second, absorb natural energy."

"Third, fuse and create magic chakra."

"Natural energy is the magical energy that is full of nature. Natural energy exists in almost all places in the ninja world, but the concentration varies. Among them, the three major holy places are the areas with the richest natural energy. Among the holy places, it is even more concentrated.

It is easy to perceive the existence of natural energy, and absorption means taking the natural energy into the body."

"This step is very dangerous. The natural energy that enters the body will be extremely aggressive. If it is out of control, the natural energy will corrode the human body. Eventually, the structure of the human body will be completely changed, just like the surrounding... these toad stone sculptures."

Fukasaku Sennin continued to speak.

"Of course...only the black rod, the heritage treasure of Miaomu Mountain, can disperse the natural energy in the body and prevent the human body from transforming into a frog."

"So awesome..." Yakumo sighed.

"Of course, and the unique toad oil of Miaomu Mountain can increase the sensitivity to natural energy, and can even soothe the natural energy, making it more controllable."

Yakumo nodded, he knew this.

"The first step...sensing the energy of nature."

Under the command of Fukasaku Sennin, Yakumo took off his shirt and trousers, entered the stone pool and let the toad oil pour on his body.

"Cross your legs and concentrate," said the Immortal Fukasaku.

After hearing this, Yakumo began to clear his mind.

"Perceive...the surrounding environment."

When the viscous toad oil was poured on his body, a slight tingling sensation appeared on the surface of Yakumo's body, accompanied by a cooling sensation... It was as if there were unknown passages in his body, leading to the outside world... It was as if the toad oil had opened many holes on his body surface.

Vaguely, Yakumo sensed that there were dense green light spots shaking up and down in the surrounding air, as if they were seducing Yakumo.

"Uncle, come and play~"

"Uncle, come and play~"

Yakumo found that his spirit seemed to turn into a big invisible hand, capturing the natural energy and pulling it into his body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The natural energy was still flying up and down, unmoved. Yakumo gradually increased the intensity of his mental output and gradually narrowed the scope of the traction...

Five seconds... ten seconds...

Three minutes... Yakumo opened his eyes.

"Do you feel it? How does it feel?"

Jiraiya hurriedly stepped forward and asked immediately.

"I can sense natural energy...but I have no way to induce natural energy." Yakumo lowered his head and answered.

"It's too bad, you don't have the characteristics."

Jiraiya spoke softly, his voice full of sadness or mourning, but Yakumo was keenly aware that he was gloating about his misfortune.

It's like... the top student suddenly got a zero score on the exam.

The scumbag laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha, you have today too."

Yakumo stood up and stepped out of the pool. The toad oil on his body evaporated very quickly, and his body became dry in just a few breaths.

"I feel like Jiraiya is happy?"

"How is it possible... Of course not, hahahaha."

Jiraiya tried his best to suppress his laughter and failed. His laughter gradually became wild and finally turned into a crazy and neurotic laugh.

Yakumo watched Jiraiya go crazy quietly. He had to say that Jiraiya really didn't care about others, so he used this clumsy way to change the topic.

"...What is the trait?"

Yakumo asked when Jiraiya stopped smiling.

"The talent of a sage represents the qualifications that must be possessed to learn the sage mode. Specifically, it is the ability to perceive natural energy and the ability to absorb natural energy. If one of the two is missing, the person does not have the qualifications to practice the sage mode." Fukasaku Sage explained in his voice.

There is a bit of regret in it.

"Then I can... practice it myself and try it?"

Yakumo asked unwillingly.

The body left behind by the original owner was really poorly endowed, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. Fortunately, he still has his own unique endowment.

"Of course you can...just don't force it."

Fukasaku Sage said, then turned around, jumped up, and quickly disappeared from Yakumo's eyes. After all, there was no need for him to stay here. He couldn't even absorb natural energy into his body, so how could he turn into stone and turn into a frog.

"What a reality..." Yakumo thought to himself.

"Hey, if you are not willing to give in, you can try again, but don't waste too much time... Let me tell you a secret secretly, that guy Orochimaru also does not have the qualifications to be a fairy. He spent several months,

Secret practice, but unfortunately, tsk tsk, it ended in failure.”

Jiraiya winked and said with a smile, as if to say, I will only tell you this secret, but please don't tell others...

"So...there is still such a thing."

Yakumo nodded.

"Then I'll leave first. If you want to leave, go find Fukasaku Sennin." Jiraiya said.

"no problem."

Yakumo sat in the stone pool again, letting the toad oil wrap around his body, and slowly closed his eyes.

Stay focused and calm.

Five seconds later, he felt the natural energy of posing again. Those green light spots danced in the dark world, attracting Yakumo's spiritual induction.

In this strange state, Yakumo formed the seal.

"The fluctuation of the heart."

Swish... Invisible chakra fluctuations spread. With the help of the magic of toad oil, the rich natural energy of Mt. Myouki, and the power of the master's heart wave, Yakumo began to observe the flow of natural energy in the entire Mt. Myouki.

A panoramic view of Mt. Miaomu appeared in his mind. It was like a small world, surrounded by a mist-like void, blocking the spread of chakra fluctuations.

Natural energy flows like a wave to the top of Mt. Myouki. Only part of the natural energy flows into the mountainside, and even less flows into the foot of the mountain.

In Miaomu Mountain, the natural energy becomes richer as you go to the top of the mountain. On the contrary, the natural energy seems a little thinner at the bottom of the mountain. It is not like the strong one in Ryūchi Cave, but there is an obvious hierarchy.

Ten minutes later, Yakumo withdrew his perception and focused more on capturing natural energy. The green natural energy ranged up and down, as if it was tugging at Yakumo's heartstrings.

This time Yakumo put his mind into a very small part of the natural energy and began to increase the output of mental energy. Since they are unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame me for being rude and hurting you.

Under the catalysis of toad oil, spiritual energy is like an invisible big hand, tightly wrapping the natural energy in a small area, causing the natural energy to riot and resist on a small scale.

Ten minutes later, Yakumo opened his eyes and his face was a little pale. In ten minutes, his spirit had become very tired. After thinking for a while, Yakumo got up and put on his clothes.

That night...Yakumo came to Hatake's mansion.

In the training ground, Yakumo and Kakashi were fighting together, the shadows of swords were flying, and the sound of dense piercing the air was roaring, just like the roar of a tiger.

On the other hand, Masako Mori was sparring with Obito in close combat. It looked like Masako Mori was in a crazy state again. She beat Obito to the point where her arms were bleeding and bruised, but she had no intention of stopping.

"Okay, Masako Mori." Yakumo said.

Under Obito's ghostly gaze, the red threads in Masako Mori's eyes gradually disappeared, and her expression returned to calm.

Then...he showed an apologetic smile.

Yakumo immediately began to treat Obito.

In the future, Yakumo will travel between Mt. Myoboku and Konoha Hidden Village, and will also go to Hatake Mansion at night to complete the mission.

After Yakumo spent all his time practicing in sage mode for ten consecutive days, Jiraiya once again reminded Yakumo... some things are destined to be impossible... Even though Yakumo has created many miracles, Jiraiya is still in this matter

In fact, he was sentenced to death.

Faced with Yakumo's insistence on going his own way, Jiraiya could only shake his head and sigh. In his opinion, the more genius he is, the less he can tolerate failure and the less he can tolerate his own shortcomings, just like his best friend Orochimaru...

At the end of May, Yakumo has completed the monthly limit and added all the attribute points obtained to strength. After all, the agility attribute can be improved by upgrading the Hatake Secret Code.

Miaomu Mountain, Toad Pond.

Yakumo wrapped in toad oil, closed his eyes tightly, and controlled the confrontation between mental energy and natural energy. This time his operation was more delicate, and the natural energy wrapped was less, so his chance of winning was higher...

Defiance and wrapping...ongoing.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...fifteen minutes.

Yakumo opened his eyes again. He failed again, but there was no trace of frustration on his face. From the initial ten minutes to the current fifteen minutes, his improvement was not just a little bit, he was confident that he could master the sage mode in ten days!

On the basis that he cannot continue to improve his intellectual attributes, he can only temper his spiritual energy into a substance harder than steel through day-by-day training. Only in this way can he conquer the natural energy.

That's right...conquer.

At this time, he no longer considered taming or integrating natural energy, but wanted to conquer it. Since the energy entering his body... can only be decided by him.

As for... passive fusion, it is definitely not something a real man would do!

Yakumo thought this, and estimated the time in his mind, then stood up and waited for the toad oil to evaporate. After changing his clothes, he found Fukasaku Sage who lived on the mountainside.

"Sage, I want to return to Konoha."

Yakumo spoke politely.

"good."

Shima Sennin replied calmly.

During this period, he also persuaded Yakumo several times out of good intentions, which probably meant...

Certain qualifications are already determined from birth and will not change no matter how much hard work you put in. I advise... Yakumo to give up early and not waste more time on the sage mode.

These people are trying to persuade Yakumo to give up, but he has a stubbornness in his heart that wants to tell everyone that he can actually do it. The most important thing is that others don't know Yakumo's unique talent.

Hit...white smoke rises, and Yakumo's body disappears.

Shima closed his eyes again and took a nap.

In Konoha, Yakumo has returned to the Senju Courtyard. At the last moment, he seemed to see a little ridicule in Shima Sage's eyes, to which he could only shake his head silently.

Yakumo estimates... within ten days...

Immortal mode, getting started!

In the training ground of the Senju Compound, Jiraiya saw Yakumo. He hesitated a little, but started a new round of persuasion. In his eyes, Yakumo could only detect the burning sincerity. He really just didn't want it.

Yakumo wastes time in sage mode.

Jiraiya spoke.

"I asked the Great Toad Immortal. From ancient times to the present, there is no precedent for a person with the qualifications of an Immortal to successfully practice the Immortal Mode."

After some thought, Yakumo decided to confess to Jiraiya that he didn't care if some people pretended to care about him, but he didn't want the people who really cared about him to continue to do so.

"Jiraiya-sama, I understand your good intentions."

"Within ten days, I am sure to get started with the Immortal Mode."

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment...
