Konoha's task master

Inside the old empty arena.

Eniru's headless body slowly dissipated, turning into light blue points of light that swirled around Yakumo, then surged into the sky the next second, converging into blue energy balls.

The electric arc flows on the surface of the blue sphere, and there seems to be dark blue plasma surging inside. The sphere shrinks and spreads, like a heart made entirely of energy.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Yakumo swallowed.

Every time it jumps, it will spit out blue arcs.

Yakumo raised his hand and tapped the blue sphere.

〖Congratulations to the player for receiving the reward: Heart of Thunder.〗

〖Tip: This item does not have any side effects. After fusion, it can increase the player's thunder element power. However, due to losses during the extraction and fusion process, the improvement is weaker than that of the entire Thunder Fruit.〗

"Collect, merge."

Collecting means integrating in the future.

Fusion means integrating now.

Yakumo didn't hesitate and clicked to merge.

The Thunder Heart in mid-air, the surrounding air was slightly distorted, and two blue chains stretched out, piercing into Yakumo's body like lightning from an octopus in hunting state. It was said to be chains... but it was more like two chains.

The blue straw and the dark blue plasma in the sphere are slowly injected into Yakumo's body.

"It hurts... it hurts... it hurts... it hurts..."

Every inch of skin, every muscle, including the internal organs seemed to be burning, as if they were being roasted on a raging fire. This was the process of rebirth, and light blue electric arcs gradually jumped on Yakumo's body.

The outside world...Yakumo's body is also changing.

The shadow clone on the bed poked its head out, and found that the momentum of the main body under the bed was gradually getting stronger, and light blue arcs of electricity jumped out of the body. In an instant, the shadow clone understood that Enel had been successfully defeated.

Inside the arena.

Yakumo subconsciously wanted to break free from the blue chains, but found that his entire body had lost movement energy. At this time, he could clearly feel that he was getting stronger, but... this process was like being broken into pieces and put back together again.

Time passed, and Yakumo seemed to be dead...

The whole body is wrapped in light blue arcs, like a big cocoon that breeds life. Among them, Yakumo hugs Tuan and sleeps peacefully. The thunder heart in mid-air has completely merged with Yakumo.

Boom...boom...boom.

In the lonely and empty arena, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded louder and louder. The sound gradually became denser and more exciting, as if mastering the rhythm of war.

Boom——

Yakumo opened his eyes, and the sound of the drum turned out to be Yakumo's heartbeat. The light blue electric arc stirred, gradually extending his body, and his bones made a crisp sound.

crackling...

The blue electric arc spread to the entire training ground, and then was gradually dyed golden. Yakumo was bathed in the golden ocean, like a god of war poured out of gold. Every inch of his muscles was God's most perfect masterpiece.

In the virtual space, steps emerge.

That leads to...the second level of the arena.

Yakumo made a thought, and the golden arcs around him poured into his body and gradually became dull.

He was full of energy at this time, so he might as well try the enemies on the second floor of the arena. Yakumo slowly walked towards the steps.

The moment he stepped onto the translucent steps, the space flowed and he opened his eyes again... Yakumo was still at the edge of the arena, with a brand-new opponent standing dozens of meters away.

"Sit upright in the frosty sky, Hyōrinmaru!"

The extreme cold fell instantly, and the silver-haired and blue-eyed middle-aged man immediately launched an attack on Yakumo, causing arc shock thunder and icicles to collide.

The second time, the gatekeeper.

Captain of the 13th and 10th Division of the Seireitei Gotei.

Hitsugaya Toshiro!

At this time, Toshiro already looks like an adult, his figure has become taller, and he is much more mature than his original appearance in the anime, and he is holding the strongest Zanpakuto of the ice and snow series, Hyōrinmaru!

Around the arena, cold icicles grew rapidly, stabbing towards Yakumo as if consciously, gradually compressing the space for Yakumo to dodge.

"Six-pole icicles!"

Toshiro roared softly, and six icicles tens of meters long were born from the void space, and immediately crashed towards Yakumo. The surrounding ice thorns and ice spikes continued to spread, sealing the space where Yakumo could dodge.

The entire arena gradually turned blue...

The surrounding temperature has reached sub-zero. At this time, Yakumo needs to face encirclement and suppression attacks from three directions. It can be said that he has completely lost the space to dodge.

"Wall dance!"

The two swords danced wildly, and the sword roared.

Yakumo stopped walking and manipulated the dense swords to slash the surrounding ice. In fact, he had heard of the strongest Zanpakutō of the ice and snow system, Hyōrinmaru... but had never seen the Shinigami. He had no idea about Toshiro's

fighting style.

With a swish sound, more than a dozen icicles were cut in half by Yakumo. The fracture was as smooth as a mirror. At this time, Toshiro had already entered the ice trap he designed for Yakumo.

"Guard Hinamori."

"Is this the girl who admires Aizen?"

Yakumo's heart.

The next second, Toshiro clenched his Hyōrinmaru with both hands and directly struck out with a sword that was packed with spiritual pressure. This move was so powerful that it seemed as if he planned to split Yakumo in two.

"Aizen took advantage of her! Why did you kill me?"

Yakumo retorted, but the word "Aizen" seemed to be some kind of switch, and Toshiro's green eyes showed anger.

"Swastika: Dairedren Hyōrinmaru!"

As he opened his mouth, terrifying spiritual pressure spread from his body, and a cold that seemed to freeze one's blood filled the surrounding space. Yakumo temporarily chose to give in.

"I'm going to suffer..."

The next second, the dazzling ice-blue diamond-like wings gradually stretched outward, like a huge bird spreading its wings, with sharp ice edges at the end, like a sharp blade with cold light, which chilled people's hearts.

The right hand that originally held the sword was gradually wrapped by the ice-blue dragon head. The dragon's eyes were blood red and ferocious, extending outward as if they were angry. The huge blue crystal dragon flew around Toshiro's body, and every scale was lifelike.

Three lotuses were hanging in the air behind Toshiro, and the extremely cold breath radiated in all directions. His body was gradually wrapped in blue ice armor, and his left hand seemed to have been transformed into a ferocious dragon claw.

What was also detonated at the same time was extremely terrifying spiritual pressure. This energy directly passed through the body's defense and acted on Yakumo's spirit, making him fearful and even wanting to worship... in order to beg for forgiveness.

"The intelligence attribute is still not high enough..."

At this time, Yakumo...has already exited the sage mode. The invisible spiritual pressure shocked his soul, and the cold current spread towards Yakumo, as if his body was gradually becoming stiff from the winter.

Yakumo opened his mouth to breathe, and the water vapor he just exhaled was immediately frozen into ice crystals, reflecting colorful light.

The surrounding temperature dropped extremely quickly...

Toshiro stepped forward slowly, his wings vibrating rapidly, blowing the cold wind carrying ice edges towards Yakumo. The ice edges hidden inside were actually extremely deadly weapons.

Yakumo immediately dodged. Although he didn't know why Toshiro was so calm, he could feel that a terrifying attack was brewing.

It happened that at this time... Yakumo discovered that the three lotus flowers behind Toshiro had withered away.

But the pressure on him suddenly became stronger.

"Could it be that...that Lotus is an instant kill timer?"

Thinking of this...

Yakumo no longer hesitated, gave up his initial plan to avoid the sharp edge, and directly hit Toshiro with both blades. At this moment, he no longer cared about the energy consumption.

Golden thunder, howling wind.

"Thousand-year Ice Prison!"

Toshiro waved the Hyōrinmaru, and thick icicles continued to appear in the surrounding void, blocking Yakumo's attack in various directions, and even planned to freeze and trap him to death!

This is a cage made of ice!

"Blink!"

Yakumo turned into light and fought with a blade against the arrogant God of Thunder. The icicle in front of him was directly chopped into pieces. He advanced towards Toshiro step by step with extreme violence...

"Burial of Ice and Flowers."

Ice blue snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, and the surrounding temperature became even lower, but Yakumo's body temperature was gradually rising. With the fierce fighting, his heartbeat gradually accelerated... like an engine operating at full power.

, the hot and sticky blood is pumped to all parts of the body.

Toshiro suddenly shook his head. He suddenly realized the mistake he had made. Those ice-blue snowflakes could not keep up with the enemy's speed, and there was no way they could fall on the enemy.

The next moment, Yakumo was in front of him.

"Ice Dragon Guard!"

The icy blue dragon body entangled Toshiro in it, and the originally smooth scales stood up, like a polished blue crystal triangular pyramid.

"Ding!"

Yakumo's pupils shrank, and he activated the flash with both hands. This was almost the strongest attack he could unleash at this time, but it was blocked by the blue dragon body. He could only see Toshiro through the dragon's body.

Blurred shadow.

"Blink!"

Yakumo charged up and swung the sword, and the blade advanced little by little. The scales were cut open, revealing the blue body of the dragon, but the advancement speed had become slow...

The blue crystal dragon suddenly began to move, its body wrapped around Yakumo's double blades, making a tooth-piercing sound. Terrifying power struck, and he could only hold the weapon harder.

Ding…

Under the attack of two huge forces, the overwhelmed Zhufeng broke, and at the same time, the possibility of Yakumo's victory also broke...

The two separated, and the giant dragon swam to reveal Toushiro wrapped in it. At this time, all the ice crystal lotus flowers behind him had withered, and even more terrifying spiritual pressure spread, like a heavy hammer hitting Yakumo's spirit.

Toshiro looked at his enemy and spoke softly.

"The four realms are frozen."

The next second, the invisible barrier spread out from his body and enveloped the entire arena. At this time, the sky and the earth seemed to turn into black and white. The cold current no longer surged, the strong wind no longer howled, and the wandering current returned to calm. Yakumo

He stared at the enemy with an expression of reluctance, but was helpless. He and the entire space had been frozen by Toshiro, like a character fixed in a black and white photo.

Yakumo watched Toushiro walking towards him leisurely. As he moved, his wings began to break, the ice dragon gradually withered into dust, and the ice blue armor on the body slowly shattered... Obviously this move was right.

He consumes a lot of money.

"No one...can harm Hinamori."

With a wave of Hyōrinmaru, Toshiro decapitated Yakumo very gently, his vision went dark... and then became bright again.

In the mid-air in front of Yakumo's eyes, two big blood-red characters were floating, as if the game system was silently sarcastic and mocking him.

"fail."

"Would you like to challenge again..."

"Yes or no"?

Yakumo did not make the decision immediately, but was thinking about this battle.

"After Toshiro enters the swastika state, the three lotus-shaped blue ice crystals behind him are the countdown to the instant kill. As the ice crystal lotus withers, Toshiro's strength will gradually increase. Mentioning Aizen, maybe

It will make the boss full of anger in advance and start the countdown to the instant kill."

Yakumo has never seen Bleach...

Current solution:

1. Improve intelligence and cope with mental pressure.

Second, increase explosive power and break through the dragon's defense.

Third, increase the sharpness of weapons and break through defenses.

In ten minutes, Yakumo completed his review of the previous battle, and at the same time set a goal in his mind to defeat the enemy, which was to kill him with thunder before he activated his swastika!

Of course this is the policy for the future.

Yakumo nodded lightly, "No".

When his mind left the arena space, what came into view was the wooden board under the bed. Out of caution, he would hide in a safe location as much as possible when his body lost its means of self-protection.

Yakumo waved his arms and got out from under the bed, just in time to see Jiraiya sitting beside the bed, meditating. The air between the two of them gradually became a little awkward.

Touch, the shadow clone on the bed disappears.

"Yakumo, how did you get out from under the bed?"

"Ahem, be prepared." Yakumo replied.

Yakumo Carp jumped up as if he was jumping upright, and took out an orange placed next to the bed and started peeling it, and asked while changing the subject.

"Is Yahiko awake?"

"I'm awake... I'm just not in a good state."

"There is an upper limit to the human body's self-recovery ability. He lost so much blood yesterday and suffered injuries to his lungs and heart. He is lucky to be alive."

"Is there no other way?"

"If you come back to Konoha with us and cooperate with regular medical treatment, you can probably live for more than ten years..."

Jiraiya shook his head gently. He clearly knew Yahiko's ambitions and ideals. There was no difference between letting him live the rest of his life in Konoha and killing him now.

"What now?"

"Eight years, ten years, twelve years...I can't tell."

Yakumo ate the orange in silence while recalling the battle just now in his mind. Toshiro's fighting style can be described as simple and crude...

Half an hour later, Yakumo squatted on the top of the tower, feeling the changes taking place in his body. This change mainly came from the thunder chakra, which became more docile and easier to master, and with this docility, Yakumo could feel more

For violent power.

There is no seal.

Yakumo mobilized the thunder chakra in the palm of his left hand and gradually compressed it... After a few minutes, the Chidori was easily reproduced, while continuing to compress it... Half an hour later, Raikiri appeared.

Now Yakumo can mobilize the thunder chakra in his body with ease and ease, like an extremely well-behaved and obedient child.

Yakumo has been studying the transformation of thunder chakra at the top of the tower until late at night. Since there is no reference now, he cannot judge what level his thunder chakra has reached.

Phew... The golden lightning arc condensed into the shape of a willow leaf and flew around Yakumo's wrist. The next moment, it gathered into an eighty centimeter long knife. Unfortunately, they were just high-intensity energy aggregates. Although they had forms... they could not

As a conventional weapon, it is far from being able to condense energy into substance.

Before leaving, Yakumo compressed the thunder chakra in his hand into a golden ball and threw it into the air...

The golden ball that lost Yakumo's control in mid-air gradually revealed his violent and ferocious side. The surface gradually became unstable. The golden arc gradually jumped on the surface of the ball, and the ball began to expand and decompose.

There was a loud bang, and golden light filled the entire night, just like the sun descending into the world.

This moment... is like daylight.

"Okay...it's a bit fierce."

A few days later, Konan was still blaming herself for Yahiko's serious injury. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was as pale as white paper. Scorpion's behavior had caused great harm to her.

"If I hadn't been willful... Yahiko wouldn't have..."

"If...I hadn't saved him back then..."

"If... I would listen to some advice."

Xiaonan was wrapped in deep self-blame. Whenever she was going to sleep, she would think of Xia's arm piercing Yahiko's chest.

Jiraiya tried to persuade Konan but failed. Just when Konan was getting thinner, Yahiko regained consciousness and saved Konan again.

She regained her former look, but it was a pity that there was still sadness deep in her eyes that could not be faded away.

"Ahem...Thank you, Yakumo, for saving your life."

"If you continue to be so busy... you won't live long."

Yahiko was in the office, dealing with documents that the Akatsuki organization had accumulated during this period. His face turned an abnormally bright red, and he coughed occasionally.

"I want to make this country a better place..."

Yahiko's eyes seemed to be burning with flames. This flame was the motivation for his continuous efforts, and it was also the death that harvested his life.

"If you continue to work so hard... you won't survive five years."

"Don't tell Xiaonan about this."

"Okay...I suggest you start training Nagato so that he can succeed your ideals and the Akatsuki organization."

"That's what I plan to do."

Yakumo stood up, placed the blue medicine bottle on the table in front of Yahiko, then turned around and walked out.

"Can this medicine extend life?"

"No, but if you can live comfortably in the short time you have, you should be kinder to yourself."

Three days later.

Jiraiya received a message from Hatake Sakumo.

"Return quickly!"

A few days ago, the border outpost of the Country of Fire was attacked by the ninjas of the Sunagakure Village. Ten genin, five chunin, and one jonin of Konoha Hidden Village were sacrificed. Currently, the Country of Fire has officially declared war on the Country of Wind. Hatake

Sakumo recalled Jiraiya to prepare for the upcoming war.

After all, several other big countries will definitely take the opportunity to join the battle... tear off a few pieces of flesh and blood from the rich Fire Country to fill their hungry bellies.

The two left Amegakure Village in a hurry, and through talking to Yakumo, they learned that it was Scorpion who attacked the Fire Country outpost, and that the bodies of jounin and chuunin were missing. Those six people were in the Konoha ninja directory.

It can only be regarded as missing and cannot be confirmed as death.
