Konoha's task master

Hatake Mansion.

Yakumo and Hatake Sakumo chatted for a while, and the two finally decided to propose the Hokage election to the daimyo in Konoha 41.

"Uncle Sakumo, we need to win over the Uchiha and Hyuga clans in advance. It is best to win over the Aburozuka, Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans..."

Yakumo suggested that although some ninjas have been allies of the Sarutobi clan since the Warring States Period, as long as you wield your hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug. Yakumo firmly believes in this.

"There's no need for that." Hatake Sakumo shook his head and refused.

"It is enough for us to participate in the election in the normal order. I am confident that the number of supporters will be higher than that of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen..." Hatake Sakumo replied.

Yakumo shook his head helplessly.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

"I will be responsible for the speech draft for the Hokage campaign."

"Okay." Hatake Sakumo responded.

The two finalized some details. Yakumo left Hatake's mansion and walked home. Although Hatake Sakumo walked alone in the dark for a long time, his character was not affected in any way.

Always so upright, this kind of person can be knocked down or killed, but his inner pride and adherence to the rules can never be wiped away.

Such people are rare in the world. Most people are pursuing profit. At the same time, the ninja clan's willingness to support Sarutobi Hiruzen to become the third Hokage relies on... closely connected interests.

Konoha's Finance Department, Medical Department, and Mission Department are basically within the sphere of influence of Hiruzen Sarutobi, while Sakumo Hatake's influence is only ANBU.

Of course, there is also the support of Tsunade and Jiraiya that Yakumo has won, but it is still very difficult for Hatake Sakumo to become the Fourth Hokage.

Yakumo's face turned bitter, but then he smiled, like a mentally ill person. He likes difficult challenges. The more difficult the task, the more difficult it is to activate the blood in his heart.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Yakumo no longer suppressed and laughed loudly.

After returning home, Yakumo changed his clothes and walked into the bedroom. After thinking for a while, he hid in the closet. At the same time, the shadow clone who practiced ninjutsu stopped what he was doing, sneaked into the dark and started to alert the surroundings.

In the closet, Yakumo called up the game interface.

Currently, there are six free attribute points left.

Add four to your constitution and two to your strength.

In the end, Yakumo decided to break the balance and put more attribute points on physical fitness, striving to reach fifty points as soon as possible and improve his palm skills, for the sake of... Masako Mori.

The warm energy fills the whole body, gradually strengthening Yakumo's cells and organs, and at the same time brings extremely refreshing pleasure, just like warm sunshine falling on the surface of the body, while a warm breeze blows in the air, as if every inch of skin is exuding

the taste of happiness.

Seven minutes later, Yakumo opened his eyes.

Open the game interface immediately.

"Personal interface"

Age:8

Constitution: 44.9 (endurance, resistance, recovery)

Intelligence: 43.9 (learning ability, mental resistance)

With another leap in strength, Yakumo emerged from the closet with satisfaction and waited for the arrival of Masako Mori, who underwent full-body warming treatment as usual.

A few days later, Thursday, September 1st.

Yakumo, who was on the bed, opened his eyes and sat up. He immediately opened the game interface and began to view the new quarterly feedback.

"Blood nourishes the strong and makes progress."

Mission requirements: Kill the blood-robed priest Dusk.

Mission description: Destroy evil with the fist of justice!

Mission reward: 20,000 gold coins, 4 attribute points

Additional reward: Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll.

Yakumo rubbed his eyes, and then confirmed that the quarterly reward mission rewards had also been reduced. Now it can be expected that the attribute points will become more precious in the later stages.

"The road ahead is long and we still need to work hard."

Yakumo cheered himself up.

"Monthly Limited Edition"

Mission description: Prepare a birthday surprise for Masako Mori.

Mission reward: 3000 gold coins, 1 attribute point.

Yakumo remembered that September 9th is Masako Mori’s birthday. Since the mission has been released, Masako Mori’s birthday must be special and unforgettable... that’s enough.

"The more people there are, the more lively it will be."

"I need to prepare birthday gifts and birthday cakes."

“This cake is best made by yourself…”

Yakumo determined the task in his mind, changed his clothes and went to the kitchen on the first floor to enjoy the breakfast made by the shadow clone.

In another mission, he killed the blood-robed priest Dusk, which reminded him of the energetic old man who was a member of the undead cult organization he met in the Kingdom of Tang.

"Sure enough, the ghost is still there..."

After the meal, Yakumo began to proceed as planned.

Time flies and it's Masako Mori's birthday.

"Good morning, Masako Mori."

"Good morning, Yakumo."

Masako Mori stood there, eyes full of anticipation.

"Let's go to school...what are you doing standing around?"

Yakumo tried his best to look puzzled.

"Oh, alright…"

Disappointment flashed in Masako Mori's eyes.

This was just the starting point of her disappointment. Soon Masako Mori discovered that not only Yakumo, but also Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, and Kakashi, whom she had the most contact with, did not remember her birthday. On this day, her heart gradually fell to the bottom.

.

"Could it be...that I am dispensable?"

At night, Yakumo treated Masako Mori as usual.

There was no smile on Masako Mori's face anymore, but when she saw Yakumo's pale face, she still tried her best to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Yakumo issued an order to expel guests.

"good…"

Masako Mori responded, feeling aggrieved.

The two walked into the courtyard. Masako Mori lowered her head and was obviously in a bad mood. At this time, a smile appeared on Yakumo's face.

The next moment, the melodious sound of the piano mixed with the soft whistle of the bagpipe formed a cheerful and relaxing background, and Yakumo slowly opened his mouth to sing a cappella.

"Happy birthday to you~"

Masako Mori was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise. The shadow clone in the corner who was practicing ninjutsu returned to its original appearance. It was Hatake Kakashi. He was holding a bouquet of purple pinwheel chrysanthemums and also sang Happy Birthday.

Suddenly, Nohara Lin appeared and started singing a cappella.

Under Masako Mori's excited eyes, Yakumo returned to the house and took out a huge wooden box.

"Happy birthday to you."

Everyone sang together.

"This is a birthday gift, you can open it now."

Yakumo pointed to the wooden box, and Masako Mori immediately jumped for joy.

"Shua..."

After a few seconds, the wooden box was opened.

In Masako Mori's surprised eyes, Uchiha Obito slapped the small cake in his hand on Masako Mori's face.

"Hahaha, happy birthday to you."

Uchiha Obito laughed wildly, venting the humiliation he had received from Masako Mori for more than half a year. Yes, it was humiliation. He had been hurt, cried, laughed, cried, cried...in short, he cried many times.

.

In Yakumo's original design, Uchiha Obito also appeared in the form of a transformation technique. Unfortunately, Uchiha Obito's transformation technique was so bad that he could only change the plan... and let him be the candidate to sneak attack Masako Mori.

, this job was originally planned to be given to Milk Ball.

Of course, Uchiha Obito...happily accepted this!

He even strongly requested... to use a big cake. In his words, it didn't matter whether it was an egg or a cake. He mainly wanted to take a picture of Masako Mori, even just for a moment.

Masako Mori's face was stained by the cake, but she was not angry and even forgot to wipe it off immediately. At this moment, her heart was filled with overwhelming joy.

It turns out that she is not dispensable. Her friends remembered her birthday... and even prepared surprises for her many days in advance.

Accompanied by the melodious and cheerful music of the piano, Masako Mori quietly wiped the cake off her face and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.

Yakumo's shadow clone held out a huge cake with blessings written on it with fruit cream...

Happy birthday Masako Mori, may you live a long life.

"This cake was made by Yakumo himself..."

Nohara Lin narrowed her eyes and said.

"All this today was planned by Yakumo."

Uchiha Obito added with a smile.

Masako Mori took a few steps forward and hugged Yakumo tightly. Her eyes were red. These were tears of joy. Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito on the side showed happy smiles.

"This is what I should do…"

Yakumo looked at the crystal tears in Masako Mori's eyes and couldn't help but feel guilty.

Although Yakumo has always remembered Masako Mori's birthday, he would never have put so much effort into preparing a surprise for Masako Mori if the game system hadn't just released a mission.

The moment Masako Mori hugged Yakumo,

Monthly limited edition, completed!

Yakumo took out the barbecue ingredients prepared in advance, set up a barbecue in the courtyard, and ate the cake at the same time. Of course, most of the cake went into the milk ball, so there was no waste.

Beef, mutton, mushrooms, and grilled chicken wings dripping with oil, coupled with the clear and sweet sour plum soup, several people enjoyed the meal and started playing games around the fire.

During this period, Yakumo sensed Uncle Mori's chakra. He secretly came to investigate and saw his daughter happily eating barbecue and celebrating her birthday. He did not show up to ruin the atmosphere and simply escaped over the wall.

Occasionally, oil droplets fell on the charcoal fire, making a crackling sound. The dim firelight in the sky made the faces of several people very rosy. The environment became a bit stuffy, and mosquitoes were flying around everyone.

"Shua..."

Kakashi waved his white fangs, his whole body covered in lightning, and actually cut down the flying mosquitoes directly. After several consecutive attacks, the sound of flying mosquitoes could no longer be heard from the surroundings.

At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone dispersed.

"Thank you, Yakumo." Masako Mori said before leaving.

"You're welcome."

Back in the hospital, Yakumo called up the game interface and started adding points in batches, adding only 0.1 each time.

Physique:44.9+1…45.9.

"good day."

Yakumo clenched his fists, feeling how much his body had become stronger, and drew out his ninja sword and danced in the courtyard. The sound of the sword was sharp and sharp, and at the same time, three shadow clones in the small courtyard were quickly clearing away the tableware.

On September 11th, Yakumo visited Hatake Sakumo.

Regarding the quarterly feedback mission, he needed to borrow the ANBU's almost pervasive intelligence network throughout the entire ninja world, and asked Hatake Sakumo to help pay attention to the information about the missing girl.

Yakumo guessed that the immortal cult, for their own plans, would continue to kidnap girls in the ninja world and raise cyan babies...also known as the Son of God.

September 15th, Kakashi’s birthday.

Everyone gathered at the Hatake mansion and returned late at night, but Yakumo discovered that there was a bit of sadness hidden in Hatake Sakumo's eyes, as if Hatake Sakumo's wife passed away due to illness after giving birth to Kakashi.

This also led to the fact that every year on Hatake Kakashi's birthday, he would unconsciously think of his deceased wife, the woman he had owed his entire life.

Late September.

Yakumo went to Kushina Uzumaki's residence to look for Rina Uzumaki. During this time, he was practicing Yin-Yang Seal and needed to obtain some secret sealing knowledge of the Uzumaki clan from Rina Uzumaki. Of course, Kushina Uzumaki was an insider of these things.

"Lina, she's not at home."

Uzumaki Kushina was sitting at her desk putting on makeup, wearing youthful and beautiful shorts and an off-white short-sleeved T-shirt. She was obviously having a date with Namikaze Minato.

Yakumo had no choice but to bow and leave Uzumaki Kushina's mansion, but he had deep doubts about this.

"Uzumaki Rina knows that I will come to see her this morning, so she will never leave and has no reason to leave."

Yakumo thought for a moment and began to form seals.
