Konoha's task master

Maoye City.

A well-known tourist city in the eastern part of the Country of Fire.

The four seasons here are like spring, the scenery is pleasant, and there is a very special lemon fruit tea. The whole specialness mainly comes from the utensils that hold the fruit tea.

The lemon tea in Maoye City is a vessel made of huge leaves. When drinking...it has a very special sweetness and fragrance. Because the leaves cannot be preserved for a long time, this special lime fruit tea is only available in

It can only be enjoyed locally in Maoyecheng.

"belch--"

Milk Ball burped and swallowed the cup made of leaves in one gulp. Next to him were Masako Mori and Yakumo in swimsuits. In fact... they were soaking in a hot spring.

White steam rose into the air.

There is a different kind of hazy beauty.

Yakumo picked up the milk ball and threw it towards the hot spring. The latter immediately released his psychic state in mid-air and returned to Yakumo's home in Konoha Hidden Village.

"Tomorrow we will go to Black Rock City to drink specially brewed milk tea, and then stay there for a day. The day after tomorrow we will go to Cumulus City, and then return to Konoha to end the journey."

"Okay...I have no problem."

Masako Mori nodded enthusiastically. For her, it was great to be able to get along with Yakumo.

"Wait a minute... go shopping."

Yakumo suggested.

"Then I'll go change clothes first."

Masako Mori stood up in the milky white hot spring, revealing her smooth and smooth back like gelatin and her slender legs.

Yakumo has a serious look on his face and his eyes are not squinting...

Half an hour later, the two of them were walking on the streets of Maoye City.

During the Warring States Period, Maoye Castle accepted the protection of the Senju Clan, and today there is still a courtyard in the city where the Senju Clan lived.

The two of them paid fifty taels of tickets and entered the former residence of the Thousand Hands clan, now the exhibition hall.

Most of the items on display here are weapons and various forms of fitted armor.

Most of the armor of the Thousand Hands clan is dark green, dark blue, khaki, etc., as well as various heavy weapons to match the strange power technique, such as giant swords weighing tens of kilograms and maces full of sharp teeth.

, a heavy halberd weighing more than a hundred kilograms.

The two of them seemed to be walking against the long river of time, and came to the war-torn Warring States period. The buildings here were mostly practical and sturdier... and the beds and tatami mats were kept as far away from the windows as possible.

At noon, Yakumo and Masako Mori walked comfortably on the streets of Moye Castle, with the sounds of various food stalls on both sides. It seemed that the place had not been affected by the war.

Suddenly, Yakumo's expression was slightly stunned. About twenty meters in front of the two of them, Konoha ANBU wearing an animal mask appeared.

As Konoha's strongest combat force, Yakumo needs to report his location to Hatake Sakumo at all times even when traveling.

At this time, the ANBU appeared in front of him, and it must be carrying orders from Hatake Sakumo.

"Secret order from the Fourth Hokage, I hope you will go to Yu no Kuni tomorrow and cooperate with the Konoha coalition forces to stop the Kumogakure troops headed by the Third Raikage."

"Good holidays are always so fleeting."

Yakumo sighed slightly, it was indeed part of Yakumo's plan that Kumogakure Village would join the war.

After all, there is no struggle for power within Kumogakure Village. The third generation Raikage has all the power. Kumogakure Village's... most basic goal is to expand outwards.

In terms of territorial area alone, the Kingdom of Fire is inferior to the Kingdom of Thunder.

But the territory of the Fire Country is more fertile, which is why Yunyin Village sent troops to invade the Fire Country several times.

"I see…"

The black-clothed ANBU disappeared instantly.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to Konoha first."

"I don't want... I want to go to the Country of Yu with you!"

Masako Mori refused without any consideration.

"No..." Yakumo refused.

"I want to fight side by side with you, even if I die, this is my own choice!"

Masako Mori's tone was very calm when she said these words, but her eyes looking into Yakumo seemed to be full of energy and sparkle, as if she was saying the most unbreakable vow in a calm tone.

"This is the burning youth of middle school."

Yakumo shook his head. Although he was moved by the girl's confession, he couldn't help but laugh. Then he raised his hand and put it on Masako Mori's head.

Masako Mori looked puzzled.

The next second, she fell into a deep sleep.

Yakumo picked up the sleeping Masako Mori and ran quickly towards Konoha. The golden arc stimulated Yakumo's speed to a higher level.

At midnight...Yakumo returns to Konoha carrying Masako Mori on his back.

"You are my weakness. Naturally, I have to put my weakness in the safest position, so that I can fight with confidence on the battlefield."

Yakumo left a letter for the sleeping Masako Mori.

Early the next morning, Yakumo headed to Yu no Kuni.

The Kingdom of Yu is located in the center of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder. It has many natural hot springs and is a buffer zone between the two countries. It is also a natural battlefield between the two countries.

In this world...small countries are destined to become victims of wars between big powers.

Yakumo is rushing to the battlefield.

This time, the main commander of Kumoyin Village is still Jiraiya, while Sarutobi Hiruzen is far away at the border of the Land of Fire, alert to the counterattack of the Kingdom of Wind.

In the afternoon, Yakumo had already arrived at the battlefield.

The Konoha and Kumogakure camps were respectively located on two peaks several hundred meters high. The military camp was built on the mountainside, and the battle area was the plain and buffer zone between the two peaks.

When Yakumo stepped onto the mountain peak of Konoha Military Camp.

A sweet and melodious sound like the sounds of nature played.

After completing the purchase, Yakumo closed the battle medal store. After being inspected by the guards at the foot of the mountain, he quickly found Jiraiya at the headquarters.

This cynical Toad Sage was sitting in the main seat with a righteous face. He was wearing a Konoha Jounin vest and a simple light armor. His aura was naturally flowing outwards, but Yakumo was keenly aware of it.

, Jiraiya was injured...but not serious.

Seeing Yakumo come in...

Jiraiya immediately waved his hand.

The surrounding ANBU immediately evacuated and at the same time closed the rolling door of the tent very considerately, leaving a very quiet space for the two of them to talk.

"injured?"

"The Third Raikage is really strong. The most important thing is that the thunder escape chakra mode he is good at seems to have undergone certain position changes... becoming harder and indestructible."

Jiraiya explained with a wry smile.

Yakumo couldn't help but think of... the old man who was rescued by Sister Aoyama, who was said to be the father of the Third Raikage. He had tried to improve the Thunder Release Chakra model and had made some progress.

"I'll try tomorrow."

Jiraiya nodded.

"If nothing happens...I'll go back to the tent and rest first."

"Okay... let's go. I can handle the Kumogakure army with the exception of the Third Raikage with confidence."

Due to the exposure of their strength, the location of the Konoha tent was moved from the key protection area close to the headquarters to the core protection area right next to the headquarters.

Yakumo walked out of the tent and happened to meet a young man with a pineapple head and two scars on the left side of his face. His eyes were bright but his walking posture was a bit lazy.

Nara Shikaku.

Since he is here... according to inertia, Pig, Deer and Die will be there.

"Shikaku...sama."

"I'm so ashamed of you for calling me an adult."

Nara Shikaku greeted him respectfully, not showing any contempt for Yakumo because of his youth. This was a direct change brought about by strength.

"Then I should go back to the tent and rest first?"

"Okay... Yakumo-kun, see you later."

Returning to the tent, Yakumo immediately lowered the rolling door, and at the same time separated several shadow clones to guard, and placed the essence stones in rows on the table.

The Essence Stone looks like neatly sized black coal lumps in appearance. Only the occasional flash of colorful light proves its extraordinary quality.

Yakumo took out Fu Mo and placed it in the air above the essence stone. Suddenly, the essence stone turned into black liquid and began to flow, occasionally reflecting colorful colors, wrapping around Fu Mo's blade like a snake-like creature.

Wisps of energy pour in.

The bright blade splashed with shimmer, like a pool of clear water, which was very moving, and the murderous aura was completely restrained.

Ten minutes later, the essence is complete.

〖Conquer the Demon〗

Weapon type: Long knife (75.3 cm)

Increase: 152% "Increase"

Enchantment: None

Yakumo put Fu Mo back into the scabbard with satisfaction.

Since Yakumo's tent is located in the core area this time, the tent not only has about two meters more strategic terrain map, but also has its own wardrobe and bookshelf.

Yakumo smiled slightly and got into the closet skillfully.

Gold coins: 26600

Active: Mercy 30/2400 "Acceleration"

Yakumo taps to accelerate x2400 times.

Gold coins: 2600

Active: Mercy 30+1200/2400 "Acceleration"

There was a bang.

Yakumo fainted.

From a spiritual perspective, he accumulated the power in his body to create compassionate water droplets again and again. This time he used water droplets as the outermost appearance, golden thunder that had been compressed many times as the core, and the howling wind as the accelerating movement of the water droplets.

Wings, using the spirit as the virtual infinite sight, and using the magical chakra in the body as the driving force for propulsion.

call out…

When the flowing golden water droplets shot into the mountain peak, the golden arc spread from the gaps, impacting the rocks with lightning speed, and the entire mountain peak was wrapped in the golden arc.

Time and time again, from the mental perspective, the figure seemed to be tireless. After fifteen years, the space in front of him gradually fragmented.

Time changes.

Yakumo opened his eyes in the closet.

"Jing Yakumo...come out and fight!"

Like a tidal wave of armies, they collided fiercely on the plain between the two peaks. Without any temptation or holding back, the two parties immediately broke out into extremely extreme battles, with both sides risking their lives every time.

The ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village are stronger than the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village in combat effectiveness, and they are more fearless. In other words, they are not afraid of death. The burly figures behind them roar like thunder towards the Konoha military camp on the mountain.

.

"Jing Yakumo, come out and die!"

It was the Third Raikage, wearing half-shoulder white leather armor, and the beard on his chin looked like a straight sword under the influence of thunder chakra.

"I show up... who wants to die?"

Yakumo had already reached the edge of the plain after a few blinks.

The Third Raikage and Yakumo looked at each other.

"Come and fight."

Both of them came to the area next to the battlefield very consciously. After all, the confrontation between the two of them, the top powerhouses, was like a meat grinder for the weak.

"You were the one who killed... Yeyue Tianxin, right?"

The Third Raikage asked loudly.

"That's right."

"As expected, it's you who...suffers death!"

Anger flashed in the eyes of the Third Raikage.

Ugh...!

"He who lives in the name of faith should die on the day of betrayal!"

The Third Raikage became even more angry when he heard this. His body turned into bright white lightning, and he appeared next to Yakumo again. His right arm, as strong as a bull's leg, struck directly at Yakumo's neck.

With his arrival…

Extremely terrifying pressure fell on Yakumo, and his burly body completely enveloped Yakumo. Compared to him, Yakumo, who was already 1.6 meters tall, was like a child.

The two weapons were crossed, blocking the attack of the Third Raikage. Yakumo stepped on the ground with his feet, his face changed slightly and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What a strength."

"snort."

"Heavy flow storm!"

The Third Raikage took half a step back, hit the elbow of his right arm with the thunder chakra in his body, and hit Yakumo's chest very hard.

"Rebellion."

The two swords are parallel and the blades are on the defensive.

Yakumo was knocked away by the huge force, and the Third Raikage raised his elbow and found that his skin was cut by the blade and bleeding... This was the first time he had been injured in many years.

"It's a bit difficult to handle..."

Yakumo found his balance in mid-air and landed calmly. From the two fights just now, Yakumo can confirm that the third generation Raikage is much stronger than him in terms of physical strength and physique, especially the terrifying defense power, even when it comes to subduing demons.

It can only be used to break the defense.

Quarterly tasks released in January.

"Fighted against the Third Raikage ten times in four months."

Didn't ask for victory.

"Black Thunder Shadow Leopard!"

When the two of them were caught off guard, the Third Raikage waved his hand and threw black leopard-shaped lightning towards Yakumo. It was the kind of black lightning that Darui inherited.

Yakumo directly swung the golden sword, and the two collided with each other. The golden and black arcs of electricity competed with each other until the two were completely annihilated.

The next second, the Third Raikage jumped forward, and the two began to fight again. He actually used his fists to resist Fumo's blade. The battle between the two gradually became fierce. Every punch of the Third Raikage was powerful and heavy.

Trying his best, each of Yakumo's swords was extremely sharp, as if he could cut off everything.

Ding ding ding ding——

The metal blade and fist collided continuously.

The next second, the two figures separated.

Yakumo once again stubbornly blocked the attack of the Third Raikage, but his breathing was a little messy. The burly body of the Third Raikage on the other side was like a towering mountain, but... his hands were covered with knife marks.

That was the damage caused by Yakumo. When he concentrated all his power into a single line, even the fists of the Third Raikage, which were comparable to steel, could not completely defend him.

The current Third Raikage is stronger than the original.

This is the butterfly effect... The old man who woke up from a coma left extremely important knowledge or ideas for the third generation of Raikage, allowing Raikage to escape the chakra mode and further produce qualitative changes.

boom…

A big hole exploded in the ground under the feet of the Third Raikage, and then he pounced on Yakumo like a giant bear. This time he gathered the thunder chakra in his right hand and slashed at Yakumo's neck with his sword.

Although it was a hand sword, the Third Raikage used it with the momentum of a battle axe. Even a huge stone was split into two with this sword!

Yakumo turned sideways to avoid the blow.

Secretly calculating the remaining time of the Sage Mode, according to the calculation, fifty points of attributes are the starting point of the Super Shadow. With a shadow-level body and the power of the Sage Mode, it is really difficult to forcibly shake the third-generation Raikage with the strength of the Super Shadow.

The two fought again, Yakumo dodged the attack of the Third Raikage, and his fist directly blasted through a boulder dozens of meters away without losing its power, causing broken stones to fly.

Yakumo seized the opportunity and charged up a slash!

The surrounding air was cut open like a mirror. The knife seemed to be cutting through the air slowly, but the blade of the sword fell at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, the Third Raikage's entire sight was filled with pure white light, which gradually became more dazzling.

Yakumo held Fu Mo tightly, as if there was a fire burning in his body, his body temperature rose, and his heart beat like a war drum. He tried his best to slash out this sword!

"Duan Kong!"

Invincible, nothing can be defeated.

The pure white blade cuts it off directly!

Knife marks suddenly appeared on the chest of the Third Raikage. The next second, a huge fist hit Yakumo's chest. The two of them stumbled backwards, as if they were hit hard at the same moment.

The next second, the two figures collided with each other again.

The white leather armor on the Third Raikage's upper body was completely cut open, revealing his strong chest muscles and a very thin wound that was twenty centimeters long.

"drink!"

The Third Raikage roared into the sky, and immediately began to mobilize more thunder chakra to strengthen his body's defense, and his offensive became more and more crazy.

It just so happened that at this moment... the immortal mark on Yakumo's forehead disappeared!

At the same time, the pressure on Yakumo... doubled exponentially.

The Third Raikage smiled ferociously, and he immediately caught the change in Yakumo's momentum. Almost at the same time, the Third Raikage's speed accelerated again, and the movements of his hands were like lightning!

Yakumo used his strength to retreat and stay away from the Third Raikage.

"Fight another day...again!"

"Cowards... are not allowed to escape!"

Yakumo jumped up high and ran into the distance.

The Third Raikage was desperately chasing after him...

The two gradually approached the position where the two armies were fighting.

Yakumo jumped up immediately with his legs exerting force, and the Third Raikage quickly followed suit... approaching Yakumo in mid-air.

Suddenly...the expression of the Third Raikage changed.

He felt a sense of fatal threat. Transparent water droplets shot from a distance and exploded directly in the chest of the Third Raikage. The next second, the golden arc surged and spread, releasing his own violence wantonly!

The Third Raikage slowly fell to the ground.

At the same time, Yakumo looked back under the influence of the strong wind.

Yakumo looked at the Third Raikage wrapped in a golden arc, with a bright smile on his face. This was the moment he raised his compassion before the battle.

At this time...the mark of the immortal appeared again on his forehead.

During the strong wind, Yakumo began to accumulate power in Fumo.

Open the sky...more than open the sky!

Duan Kong... More than just Duan Kong!

"Instant light, three feet, cut off the sky, open the sky."

In mid-air, every time Yakumo recited the name of a move, the aura erupting from his body would become stronger than ever.

At this time, the strong wind is the blade and the thunder is the front.

Take the natural power between heaven and earth and use it for tempering.

With the body of an immortal... wield a sword!

At this moment, the demon turned into brilliant gold in Yakumo's hands, shining extremely and dazzlingly, as if a bright golden flame was burning on the blade, and a terrifying storm was brewing from behind Yakumo.

One thread, one thought.

Yakumo arrived at the Third Raikage's side in an instant.

Cut it off with one knife.

that day,

The Third Raikage fell from the sky and was seriously injured.

that day,

Yakumo, as calm as a fairy, returned to the Konoha military camp.

When the sword was drawn, the entire sky was reflected in gold.

…………

Inside the Konoha military camp.

Yakumo lay on the mat with a pale face, and beside him stood a nervous Jiraiya. Yakumo's shadow clone used Palm Senjutsu to repair the broken tendons and blood vessels of the main body with a solemn expression.

That sword is very handsome and very strong.

The price is extremely terrifying.

Yakumo wanted to make a last hit, but he couldn't.
