Konoha's task master

It's January 1st, the forty-second year of Konoha.

The early morning sunlight shines on the young man's face through the gaps in the tent. Under the sunlight, every fiber of hair on his face can be seen to have a radiant luster.

Yakumo sat up and called the game interface.

Shopping completed.

Yakumo stretched himself and looked around the entire tent. His tent had a desk, a bed, and an incandescent lamp... but it was a pity that there was no wardrobe.

Wait...and under the bed.

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo headed to Jiraiya's tent.

Konoha's military camp is generally circular, with the headquarters and medical department protected in the core. It is surrounded by secret sentries on duty 24 hours a day, and on the outermost layer there is a sensory barrier created by the barrier team.

It can be said to be foolproof.

When Yakumo walks on the road, most of the ninjas he meets will give him grateful looks, because Yakumo has saved their lives many times.

Halfway through the journey, a ninja suddenly broke into the military camp in the distance carrying wounded soldiers on his back. A smile appeared on Yakumo's face, and he immediately created a shadow clone and headed to the medical department.

After a month of hard work…

Merit value: 63240

Half a minute later, Yakumo got directly into Jiraiya's tent without being stopped by the ANBU who were on guard outside.

This tent is much more luxurious than Yakumo's tent. It contains not only simple furniture such as desks and beds, but also a two-meter battlefield sand table and bookshelves to store various books.

At this time, Jiraiya was discussing the next strategy with Hiruzen Sarutobi at the headquarters. Yakumo created a shadow clone, and the main body got into the closet very naturally and skillfully.

"Damn it... Jiraiya didn't wash his socks again."

〖Skill Fusion〗

"1. Fog burial"

"2. Fluctuations of the heart"

〖This process will consume three fusion scrolls of the same type〗

"Yes or no"

No need to hesitate.

Yakumo taps... "Yes"

In an instant, Yakumo fainted.

The stars are brilliant and shining.

From a spiritual perspective, he witnessed with his own eyes the twisted and chaotic gods, carrying thick and sticky mist, submerging countless galaxies, as if the entire universe was falling into fog, embracing evil and chaos.

In the mist, the wild nature in the animals was awakened and became extremely violent, and the human bodies began to gradually become deformed. Some grew ugly wings and flew into the sky, while some had fish gills growing behind their ears and sank into the deep sea.

Until the indescribable gods devour the world!

〖Integration successful〗

〖Congratulations to the player for getting a new skill.〗

〖Eternal Sleep Mist: The dark gray mist will swallow the enemy's life energy and spiritual energy and gradually grow, increasing the all-round suppression of the enemy, and will affect the enemy's spirit to cause hallucinations, and eventually enter eternal sleep.〗

〖Tip: The permanent sleep state is irreversible.〗

[Tip: Chakra consumption reduced by 50%]

〖Tip: Coverage range increased by 650%〗

Yakumo opened his eyes. He had just received the prompts from the game system and understood the various abilities of the Everlasting Mist. Among them, the perception ability has not disappeared, but has been transformed into his own instinctive skills.

〖personal skills〗

Passive: Mist of Eternal Sleep "Perfection"

This skill is very powerful, and it is also very deadly. Through the image of the upgrade, Yakumo is extremely sure that this skill has a direct connection with some unspeakable evil god.

It is tentatively included in the blacklist. If you don’t need it, don’t use it!

Yakumo left the closet and found that the time had reached ten o'clock in the morning. He had been unconscious in his closet for two hours. Yakumo planned to go back to the tent to wash himself briefly before going to the center of the plain to meet Chiyo.

After washing, Yakumo sat on the bed.

Holding the demon in hand, start strengthening it with essence stones.

The black liquid swirled around the demon, and the surface of the blade shimmered with light, occasionally flashing with colorful colors. Wisps of black liquid slowly blended in, and the blade began to heat up and turn red, as if it was being burned by a fire.

Ten...twenty...twenty-five.

Inside the tent, there were colorful ribbon-like rivers of stars, rotating around the blade of the demon-suppressing blade. The surrounding black liquid made of the essence stone that melted the stars was gradually depleted. The red blade cooled down again after quenching out the impurities. The original white blade turned into

It has to be a little shiny... like a bright mirror.

〖Conquer the Demon〗

Weapon type: Long knife (75.3 cm)

Increase: 133% "Increase"

Enchantment: None

Yakumo swung his sword at will... The golden sword gradually appeared and died in the tent, and the entire space was instantly filled with killing energy, but there was no damage to the items in the tent.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the headquarters.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya are waiting here.

"That old guy Chiyo won't be in any danger when he sees you this time. Tomorrow Sunagakure will ask for peace from Konoha."

Jiraiya said.

Yakumo nodded. Now that Sunagakure Village is completely suppressed on the frontal battlefield, and Xie has fully recovered her memory, she naturally has no reason to continue the main battle.

"Understood." Yakumo nodded.

"Peace is precious, please don't start a fight..."

Jiraiya ordered.

"Of course I know."

A warm and warm smile appeared on Yakumo's face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Yakumo's smile and subconsciously rubbed his right shoulder. Even though some wounds have healed now, they will still hurt when encountering special circumstances.

"Um...Sandaime-sama, when I come back, do you want me to take some time to treat you?"

Yakumo pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder and asked. Although the two were political enemies, they were not enemies. At this time, they were on the same front when the war came.

"Okay, I'll wait until you come back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked the white beard on his chin.

Near noon, Yakumo walked towards the plain.

Vehicles delivering supplies and support from afar have just arrived.

Yakumo's face suddenly turned ugly, and he immediately changed direction because he noticed a very familiar chakra fluctuation among the supporting ninjas.

"Why are you here?" Yakumo asked in surprise.

"I applied for early graduation from the ninja school, and then came to the front line through the Fourth Hokage."

Masako Mori replied with a smile.

"You...shouldn't be here."

Yakumo sighed. He naturally knew that the reason Masako Mori applied for graduation was to fight alongside him, but this was a battlefield, and even he was not sure whether he could escape unscathed.

"You're here...I'm coming."

Masako Mori used a very calm tone to express the warmest confession and the determination contained in it.

"No, you go back with the car..."

"It seems...it's not safe either..."

"Forget it, you stay with me during this period."

Yakumo, who had remained calm in dozens of battles, actually showed a nervous look at this moment.

"Let's go, follow me to see Lord Jiraiya."

Yakumo couldn't figure out why Uncle Mori, who was so timid, would allow Masako Mori to graduate early and even go to the battlefield at this age. It was probably because Uncle Mori didn't agree at all, but he just didn't change Masako Mori's determination.

"Hey." Yakumo sighed softly.

In the plains…

Yakumo plays with the black and white ball in his hand.

The originally green grass was like a plain, covered with charred explosion marks. The land was turned over, and the green grass was pressed underneath to reveal gray-brown land.

Each trace of dark red plasma represents an unknown ninja who will stay here forever. Crows are pecking at the stumps, and rats are escaping underground holding pieces of meat.

The surrounding air contained blood that would not melt.

Broken wooden parts gradually appeared on the plains. They came from puppets of different shapes, and the grass under their feet turned yellow under the influence of venom.

In the distance, large trees were split completely, boulders were shattered from the middle, the remains of weapons and traces of ninjutsu were criss-crossed, and the surrounding area was devastated.

Wisps of black smoke rose into the sky.

When the sun shines on the plain, it even turns a bit of a dark gray color, and even the temperature of the environment becomes much lower than other places...

Yakumo saw Chiyo from a distance, and behind her was Scorpion in a blood-red robe. Most of his face was hidden in his hood, making him look particularly sinister and evil.

"Long time no see, Elder Chiyo." Yakumo greeted.

"If I had known that you would become a serious problem for me, I should have killed you in Yuyin Village."

Chiyo said in a cold voice, Yakumo subconsciously squeezed the small black and white ball in his hand, which contained his weapon, which could be used by simply mobilizing chakra.

"Actually...I regret it too."

Yakumo said noncommittally that if Chiyo had taken action, she would probably be dead now and there would be no such inexplicable war.

"I never thought you would have such medical achievements."

Chiyo sighed, it is conceivable that the highest level of medical ninjutsu in the ninja world in the next few decades will belong to the smiling boy in front of him.

"My talent is average, and I am where I am today thanks to hard work."

"Haha, try hard..."

Xie shook his head and sneered. In his opinion, Yakumo's incomparable equipment will belong to him tomorrow. Only eternity is the real art!

"Jiraiya-sama said...you want to ask me for help?"

Yakumo skipped the initial politeness and went straight to the point. Chiyo asked Konoha for peace, but the condition was that he needed to see Yakumo and ask him to do a favor.

"That's right...I hope you can help me treat Scorpion."

"Now that his memory has been fully restored, is there any other treatment he needs?" Yakumo asked.

"I want him to become a man again..."

Chiyo was silent for a few seconds before speaking. At first, he just hoped that Xia... could come back safely. Now that the blood has returned intact, he began to hope that Xia could become a man again and reproduce for the family.

"I can not do it…"

Yakumo refused without hesitation. In fact, it is easy to do the palm sage technique at the master level, but he did not want to, or he did not like this aggressive attitude.

"you!"

Chiyo's eyes instantly turned cold, filled with awe-inspiring murderous intent. She really couldn't figure out why Yakumo dared to refuse so easily.

"I really can't do it."

Yakumo shook his head unmoved, a mere threat?

What a shame.

Along the way, he witnessed the cruelty of the war, and with Masako Mori currently in a dangerous position, Yakumo now really wants to end this war as soon as possible.

"What conditions do you have to help?"

"I really can't do it."

Yakumo continued to shake his head.

Chiyo looked at the helpless young man in front of him, with overwhelming anger rising from his chest, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot with secrets... He asked gloomily.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"I'm not afraid...you don't dare either."

"If you attack me, you and Scorpion will not be able to leave this plain alive. Lord Jiraiya once said... Peace is precious, I hope you will act with caution!"

Chiyo looked stunned, she couldn't understand Yakumo's stubbornness at this moment, but when she thought of the fleeting golden thunder a month ago, she suddenly woke up.

That person...must be Konoha's trump card!

In fact... Yakumo's confidence comes from himself, from Fu Mo and Zhu Feng who are ready to go at his fingertips, and from the shadow clone that is absorbing natural energy in the tent.

"You kid...you really have some courage."

Chiyo formed a seal with his hands, making the sound of wood rubbing and colliding. Invisible waves spread outward, gradually covering the surrounding area of ​​a kilometer.

She is exploring the unknown strong man.

Yakumo had already known that Chiyo had used a puppet to create a pair of arms for himself. At this moment...up close, the arms were truly lifelike, as if they had grown from flesh and blood.

For half a minute, Chiyo didn't notice anyone's presence around her, but she still didn't dare to let down her guard. She had an intuition that the mysterious person who injured her... was here!

"If there's nothing else...I'll leave."

"I hope there won't be another war tomorrow."

Yakumo turned around and walked towards the Konoha military camp in a leisurely manner. His face was calm and calm, and he did not show any nervousness about turning his back to the enemy.

Hesitation flashed in Chiyo's eyes. She did a lot of things that ignored the rules for Scorpion and damaged the interests of many people, but she was willing... After all, Scorpion called her grandma.

Those people...don't call her grandma.

If she takes action now, she will definitely be able to capture Yakumo and take him back to the Sunagakure barracks. He will have no choice but to commit the crime when the time comes. However, the peace treaty will be broken, and Konoha will definitely attack with all its strength to start a war.

"Peace is precious..."

Chiyo recalled what Yakumo said.

Hesitation flashed in her eyes. As a consultant of Sunagakure Village, she could not continue to do such things regardless of the overall situation. Just when Chiyo was dejected and wanted to give up...

Four thousand poisonous poisons were suddenly activated.

Appearing as a rhombus in mid-air.

Shoot into Yakumo's waist!

Qianben pierced the air and was about to hit!

The attacker...is Scorpion!

What he wants at this time is not only to make Yakumo's corpse into a puppet, but the most important thing is that he wants to continue to provoke war, so that he can obtain a steady stream of corpses and create his eternal art.

A month ago, the people who attacked Konoha outpost...

It's him!

After all, Chiyo was seriously injured by a mysterious man at that time and was in a state of recovery. It was impossible for him to have the strength to travel thousands of miles to attack Konoha's forward sentry.

In the blink of an eye.

The fast-flying kunai has reached behind Yakumo.

The next second, Yakumo exerted force with his feet as if there were eyes on the back of his head, and dodged to the left... He took two steps to avoid Senbon's attack that should have been a sure hit. At the same time, he quickly turned his head and looked at Chiyo and Scorpion with complicated eyes.

"Do it!"

Chiyo no longer hesitated and immediately took out the scroll.

Scorpion's movements were faster, and the surroundings were instantly filled with human puppets wrapped in red robes, guarding him like a hundred ghosts walking in the night. At the same time, six red-robed puppets separated on all fours and rushed towards Yakumo at extremely fast speeds.

Yakumo's vision was filled with red shadows, and a strong wind blew against his face, but his expression was very calm, as if he had accepted his fate.

At this second, many scenes appeared in Yakumo's mind, including the plains under the flames of war, charred corpses, helpless redemption, and patients who died of serious injuries.

At this moment, he longed for peace more than ever.

"It's really not that I want to take action..."

Small black and white balls, broken.

Fumo and Zhufeng were held in Yakumo's hands, and golden arcs of lightning shot up into the sky.

Yakumo's shadow clone in the military camp is automatically released.

Yakumo's true form enters sage mode!
