Konoha's task master

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.

The green grass here is vibrant, huge ancient trees grow wildly towards the sky, and the air is very sweet, as if it is mixed with honey.

There was a bang and smoke rose.

After Yakumo appeared, he immediately clenched his weapon vigilantly.

The surrounding ancient trees contain Yakumo's chakra. Those ancient trees are like loyal guards, surrendering to Yakumo. As long as he puts his hands together, they will start to strangle nearby enemies.

In this vibrant area, murderous intent lurks.

But Iwagakure had already retreated.

After thinking about it for a while, Yakumo had no intention of following it.

After all, killing seven people with Ninja Swordsman in a row would be very exhausting.

Chakra consumption is 70%.

Sixty percent physical exertion.

At this time, it is not suitable to continue fighting to the death.

After adjusting his direction, Yakumo continued to rush towards the battlefield. The leaves of the giant tree behind him rustled, as if he was saying goodbye to his master.

Two hours later, Yakumo arrived at the battlefield.

There was no conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure today. Yakumo entered the Konoha military camp after several layers of inspections. The furnishings of the military camp were arranged in an orderly manner, like chess pieces on a chessboard. The tents echoed each other, and they could provide help at any time.

.

This is Orochimaru...'s battlefield. The interior of the military camp is filled with all kinds of murder traps, which can well prevent enemies from sneaking in. In a trance, he has the illusion that he is walking into the lair of a terrifying giant beast.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm waiting for you at the headquarters."

The ninja who led the way spoke softly.

Yakumo nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for leading the way for me."

Three minutes later, Yakumo stood outside the tent. In his perception, Orochimaru possessed a collection of evil and vibrant chakra. It was under the cover of that vibrant energy that Yakumo could not see clearly.

That evil energy seemed to be covered with a layer of defense.

Yakumo enters the tent.

There is only Orochimaru in the headquarters. In fact, Orochimaru is more like a dictator on the battlefield. His tactics never need to be discussed with anyone, and he only needs soldiers to execute orders.

Half of Orochimaru's body was hidden in the shadows, giving him a bone-chilling chill and a different kind of coldness...especially the purple eyeshadow and golden vertical pupils that looked evil.

He gives people a deep sense of... world-weariness.

"Yakumo-kun, I thought you were interesting from the beginning. We haven't seen you for several years, but today we meet again. Your growth is really... surprising."

Orochimaru smiled and spoke, but the smile was very fake, which made Yakumo a little disgusted, especially when he spoke, he unconsciously licked his cheeks with his long tongue.

"Kakashi...are they back safely?"

"Of course, Namikaze Minato had already gone to the rescue at that time, but I didn't expect that Yakumo-kun could quickly kill seven people with ninja swords in two to three minutes. Currently, you are the strongest in the ninja world."

Orochimaru sighed.

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"On my way here, I encountered an ambush by the Third Tsuchikage and Lao Zi, as well as the Escape and Explosion Escape surprise teams." Yakumo said casually.

There was no change in Orochimaru's expression.

"Is this true? If I knew about this... I would definitely attack and completely... annihilate the Iwagakure barracks on the opposite side and end this battle!"

"Oh... By the way, Yakumo-kun, are you not injured?"

"certainly."

Yakumo carefully observed Orochimaru's expression.

He couldn't see any flaws.

Suddenly, there was an explosion of a signal bomb outside.

Orochimaru suddenly stood up and rushed out of the tent.

"Let's go, Yakumo-kun, the war has begun!"

The two of them rushed to the front line at extremely fast speeds and watched from a high position.

Under the command of Orochimaru, Konoha's army cooperated with each other, completing tasks one by one like cold machines.

These orders actually include orders to commit suicide.

Under this cold command mode, Konoha's advantage gradually expanded, but Yakumo did not like this command mode.

Jiraiya's command was unorganized, he just roared and led the charge.

Under his infection, Konoha ninjas will naturally become enthusiastic, no longer afraid of death or fighting, and will continue to fight in Jiraiya's footsteps.

In Jiraiya's heart, those ninjas are more like brothers, and those brothers are willing to fight desperately with him.

However, in the hands of Orochimaru, the life of a ninja is a tool, a prop to achieve final victory, and can be consumed according to the quantity.

Orochimaru gave the order without any hesitation.

"I believe that geniuses like Yakumo are better able to understand the fragile nature of life and the inherent cheapness of life..."

"Life is never cheap, it is a very precious thing."

Yakumo retorted.

"Human beings are creatures full of limitations."

Yakumo was speechless for a moment.

Human beings are indeed full of limitations, but he cannot agree with Orochimaru's view that even if life has limitations, it cannot be treated as a consumable.

At this moment, Yakumo didn't want to stand next to Orochimaru.

Fortunately, as for Iwagakure...

The third Tsuchikage flew up and joined the battle.

"Ohnoki, belong to me."

Yakumo drew his weapon and rushed towards Ohnoki.

The two looked at each other and chose to fight elsewhere.

The sun fell on the young man's face.

Young, immature, wise and gentle.

"Actually, if you wait three more minutes, you can wait for me. After all, I deliberately resolve the battle as quickly as possible."

"..." The Third Tsuchikage was silent.

In my mind, I thought of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

This young man is completely different from those two people.

The boy does not have the lofty ambition of Senju Hashirama to establish peace in the shinobi world, nor does he have the arrogance of Uchiha Madara who looks down on everything.

But he became a huge boulder weighing on the heads of several major ninja villages.

Yakumo closed his eyes and opened them quickly.

The eyes are full of meaning.

Immortal mark appears on the forehead.

"Immortal Law·Compassion."

The dense water droplets shot through the air like sharp arrows and struck Ohnoki.

So what if Ohnoki can fly, he's just a living target.

Yakumo never lacks long-range attack skills.

"Earth Release·Rock Fist Technique."

Ohnoki's fists turned into hard rocks and stood in front of him in an attempt to defend against the attacks coming from heaven and earth, but he underestimated the water droplets blessed by the magic chakra.

The moment the two came into contact, the rock fist was penetrated.

In Onoki's surprised eyes, water droplets came out of his body.

Immediately afterwards, Onoki's body turned into sticky soil and fell from the sky. At some point, he replaced his position with an earth clone.

"Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump."

Six shadow clones appeared and raised their hands at the same time.

Numerous water droplets breed.

"Immortal Technique·Thousand Strikes per Second·Gatling!"

Now let's see who is faster.

Countless water droplets flew, limiting the space in which Onoki could flash.

The dense raindrops are like a big net.

Ohnoki constantly used various ninjutsu to defend himself.

Yakumo looked at the sky with a calm expression.

This is the light of truth, this is the power to purify the world.

Between heaven and earth, sunlight gradually replaces.

There are many thunderclouds in the sky.

Yakumo begins to form seals, and a new attack is brewing.

Ohnoki looked at the thunder clouds and immediately realized something was wrong.

Immediately, I wanted to escape from Yakumo's attack range.

He clearly remembered that in addition to the enemy's powerful sword skills, the other thing that was still fresh in his memory was the unknown thunder bloodline limit that was comparable to that of the Third Raikage.

"Thunder Escape: Thousand Strikes of Thunder."

Use water escape to increase the humidity in the sky, use thunder chakra to trigger the current of thunder clouds, and instantly release a powerful attack. This move can be easily accomplished after Yakumo fuses the Thunder Heart.

Thousands of golden arcs fell from the thunderclouds and struck the ground.

Under the action of the golden arc, the earth gradually tore apart, the puddles were instantly evaporated, and the huge trees were burned into coke by the arc.

The golden light pillar together with the heaven and the earth is like a giant pillar supporting the heaven and the earth.

Use your own thunder as a guide and borrow the power of heaven and earth.

Yakumo looked at the sky quietly.

It just so happened that Onoki was in a location where the arc was the densest. Under that huge thunder, Onoki's body looked extremely small, so small that... he was even completely submerged by the golden thunder.

The next second, a bright white light beam shot up into the sky, forming a confrontation with the golden thunder. However, the confrontation only lasted a few seconds. More bright light poured out from Ohnoki's hands, and he raised the light beam above his head with force.

Everything along the way is destroyed.

"Chen Escape·The Technique of Original Realm Peeling!"

"The power is truly terrifying."

Yakumo sighed and waved the weapon in his hand.

"Ten cuts."

Ten golden swords flew towards Ohnoki at extremely fast speeds. The swords spanned a distance of nearly a hundred meters, but their power was not affected at all. Ohnoki could only lift his body upward to avoid the swords.

"Thunder Spear!"

Yakumo's shadow clone made a throwing gesture, and a spear of about two meters naturally appeared in his right hand. The whole body shone golden, and a rich electric arc flowed inside.

Use force in the waist to create a bulge on the right arm.

Yakumo's body is like a stretched bow.

The next second, the golden spear shot out at extremely fast speed!

Yakumo's body quickly throws out the sword.

five minutes later…

Ohnoki started to get hurt and his face gradually turned pale.

Without looking back, he drifted towards the Iwagakure military camp.

The back looks light and breezy.

"Is this called escaping?"

"This is called...temporary retreat!"

The latter immediately began to move and dodge.

Yakumo teleported several times and returned to the command podium.

On the battlefield in the distance, Orochimaru was fighting with Lao Zi. Yakumo watched the battle for a moment and found that Orochimaru was not using his full strength, as if he was paddling.

There's something... fishy about this.

In the battlefield, the two armies rushed to kill, the waves caused by the collision of ninjutsu, the waves caused by the detonating charm, the Iwagakure hiding troops harvested lives with sneak attacks, and the explosive escape surprise troops caused continuous explosions.

In the afternoon, the two armies stopped fighting.

Yakumo went to the medical department to work overtime, and happened to meet Namikaze Minato and Kakashi. Among them, Obito was more seriously injured. After all, under the training of Masako Mori, he liked to fight in close combat with others.

Among them, Nohara Lin had no wounds on her body.

"Long time no see, Yakumo."

"Brother Minato, long time no see."

A few people were walking in the military camp. They reunited with old friends. They were supposed to have a dinner together, but because they were on the battlefield, the only food prepared was barbecue.

Beside the fire, several people sat down.

"Who would have thought that the little boy back then would become the strongest in the ninja world."

"I can't even speak of being the strongest."

Yakumo seeks truth from facts.

Yakumo learned that Kakashi and others were performing a logistical mission, transporting some precious medicines from Konoha Hidden Village to the military camp. This was supposed to be a very safe mission, but he didn't expect to encounter the Shinobi from Kirigakure Village along the way.

The Seven Swordsmen and the ANBU members responsible for protecting Kakashi were all killed.

"Does Kirigakure plan to join the war?" Yakumo asked.

"It is possible that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans in Konoha are already ready to rush to the front line... I hope not... ah."

"If we gather the power of four villages to attack Konoha, it will be a village-level war. At that time, each village will lose restraint and use taboo-level trump cards..."

Yakumo held his chin and looked like he was thinking.

"That's right, I can only hope that the Third Mizukage will show some restraint."

Yakumo just remained silent, he figured it was correct.

The current third generation Mizukage should be under the control of Uchiha Madara...

"Eat meat, eat meat, the meat is cold!"

Uchiha Obito yelled.

"Okay, okay...ok."

The fighting during this period of time has made the friends lose their youthfulness, Kakashi has become more silent, and the smile on Nohara Lin's face has also become much smaller. Only Obito is still so optimistic and cheerful, like a carefree person.

A living treasure of concern.

"The art of Flying Thunder God...is the key to changing the situation of the battle."

Yakumo chewed barbecue in his mouth and said with some slurred speech.

"I see."

Minato Namikaze responded loudly, slapping his chest.

Half an hour later, several people stood up one after another after eating.

"Come on, let me see your recent growth."

Yakumo said to his friends.

"Okay, the strongest in the ninja world will be our sparring partner."

Yakumo shook his head and said very seriously.

That night, after finishing the task, Yakumo sat at the table and began to write his thoughts on the master level of Palm Senjutsu. Unknowingly, it took him six hours to write 120,000 words before he was completely finished.

Yakumo shook his sore arm. Fortunately, his strength was pretty good, otherwise it would have taken several days to write a scroll.

After tying up the scroll, take out the psychic scroll.

There was a bang and smoke rose.

Purple-skinned toads appeared on the ground.

Jiraiya also calls it a storage and transportation frog. It is a special frog that lives in Mt. Myouki. Although it cannot master Senjutsu Chakra, it has a large space in its stomach that can be used to store items.

"Give this to Jiraiya and pass it on to Tsunade."

The purple-skinned toad flicked out its long tongue, its mouth continued to expand, and it swallowed the scroll into its belly in an instant, but it did not leave, and its green bean-sized eyes stared closely at Yakumo.

"Qua~"

"Oh, I got it…"

Yakumo took out a donut from the storage scroll.

The purple-skinned toad swallowed it in one gulp.

The next second, it turned into smoke.

That donut is the shipping fee.

Yakumo knew very well that this toad did not have very professional ethics.

Often times, double shipping charges are obtained through scams.

"Hey, it would be nice if I could just use donuts instead of donuts."

Not far away, the shadow clone who was making breakfast rolled his eyes.

…………

In the blink of an eye, time flies.

The time has come to early June.

The shouts of killing in the distance were deafening, but Yakumo felt a little at ease.

Within this month, Kirigakure Village did not participate in the war, and the worst outcome did not occur. Kumogakure Village also began peace talks with Konoha, and Sunagakure Village gradually began to implement the peace treaty.

Lose money…

Namikaze Minato... During the first battle, he completely annihilated the Iwa Ninja Escape Team and successfully gained the reputation of Golden Flash.

The morale of the Iwa ninja was greatly reduced, and peace talks were imminent.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

A few days ago, after Yakumo defeated the Third Tsuchikage with Yakumo, Onoki stopped looking for him to fight.

Yakumo naturally became extremely relaxed, and Orochimaru was fighting with Lao Zi in the distance...

For some reason, Yakumo always felt that Orochimaru was deliberately delaying the war. It was clear that Iwagakure could be defeated very quickly, but he delayed the time for a whole month.

Today, Yakumo plans to upgrade the Wooden Secret Code to the master level.

Tomorrow, he will end the war.

After all, three days later is the memorial day for Yakumo's parents.

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket.
