Konoha's task master

The streets of Konoha.

Yakumo found a bench and sat down casually.

This bench is about three meters long. It is made of wood and looks very old, as if it has been there since the founding of Konoha.

The wooden strips of the bench are filled with the boy's confession and the girl's wish, as well as the frustrated ninja's sad wish in his heart.

Merit points: 98750

At the same time, open the Battle Merit Store.

In fact, there is something that Yakumo has been coveting for a long time. Unfortunately, the merit points obtained in the first two rings of war missions are always a bit lower, and Yakumo has no idea of ​​killing enemies to gain points.

For the War Merit Store, scroll directly to the last column.

"The Gift of the Lord of Despair"

Prop description: Randomly increase 3~7 attribute points.

Prop price: 88888 merit points

Remaining: only.

Yakumo click to redeem.

The next second, a gray crystal appeared in his hand.

The gift of the Lord of Despair is in the shape of a hexagon, with a light gray translucent crystal on the outside. The dark gray energy flowing inside is vaguely visible to the naked eye. For some reason, Yakumo feels... this energy is very dangerous.

Yakumo flicked the surface of the crystal with his finger and confirmed that the energy surface crystal was extremely hard and would not be easily damaged, so he put it into the storage scroll.

Merit value:98750-88888→9862

Next, purchase 16 Essence Stones.

Merit value: 262

Yakumo closed the game interface and looked at the sky quietly.

"Meow meow meow~"

Suddenly, a cat meowed in my ears.

That's the sound of milk balls.

Yakumo turned his head...

Under the sun, Masako Mori was running at extremely fast speed.

Yakumo stood up subconsciously, and the next second the girl's body crashed into his arms. Masako Mori hugged Yakumo tightly, tears unknowingly falling on her lips.

"In the future... don't leave me alone again."

"Okay...okay."

Yakumo comforted in a low voice, and at the same time gently put his hand on Masako Mori's back, and tears wet his shoulders in the blink of an eye.

Time passed little by little until Masako Mori stopped crying.

Yakumo pushed her away gently.

The two of them were sitting on the bench. Masako Mori glanced at Yakumo's shoulders, which were wet with her own tears, and lowered her head to look at her toes in shame.

"A few days ago, I ordered two bouquets of flowers from the flower shop of the Mountain Clan. One is Uncle Jing's favorite purple Phalaenopsis and the other is carnations for my aunt."

"Thank you."

Yakumo was a little surprised. He didn't expect Masako Mori to remember that his father liked purple phalaenopsis. After all, there were dozens of various flowers planted in the small courtyard at that time. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the war, those flowers were lost.

For those who take care of them... they gradually wither away.

"Hi...you're welcome."

Yakumo quietly held Masako Mori's wrist with his right hand. Masako Mori's body was slightly stunned, but she took the initiative to half lean on Yakumo's body.

As she entered puberty, Masako Mori's height began to increase dramatically within half a year, and is now close to about 1.5 meters. Her waist is so slender that she can be easily hugged with one hand.

"Meow~"

Nipple jumped up on the bench and lay down next to the two of them, and went back to sleep. Some time ago...the hair that had become scorched black due to the battle became white and smooth again, and the amount of hair became even more amazing.

Yakumo closed his eyes.

"Don't make trouble, let me check your body for you."

Green life energy slowly penetrates into the body.

Due to his improved intelligence, Yakumo was able to discover the hidden details in Masako Mori's body this time.

After conditioning... his body gradually became more powerful, and his Yin Escape Chakra was completely suppressed, which seemed to contain some kind of powerful energy.

That's a sign of the Sharingan's evolution.

The Yin Escape Chakra, which has been suppressed for many years, is gathering strength.

"It's not good... it's going to be bad."

If the Sharingan evolves successfully, the energy of the Yin Release Chakra will surely double in a short period of time and continue to compete with the Yang Release Chakra, and then Masako Mori's body will become an even more intense battlefield.

"During this period...be calm." Yakumo reminded.

"Ok, I know."

Mori Masako looked sideways slightly, the sun fell on Yakumo, and his whole body seemed to be plated with gold, and the fine hair on his face was visible.

At this moment, Masako Mori raised her head quietly.

"Boh~"

The sneak attack was successful.

Yakumo didn't dodge this time. As the old saying goes, since you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy it. If you feel uncomfortable, it must be because of unfamiliarity... After all, practice makes perfect.

The breeze blew on his face, and Yakumo suddenly felt sleepy.

Ever since Yakumo became the main commander and led the Konoha Legion to evacuate, his nerves have been tense and he did not dare to relax in any way. For two days, Yakumo was not only a scout but also a vigilant...

"I'll take a nap."

Yakumo's breathing gradually became steady.

This time he did not create a shadow clone to be on guard. This was the first time in many years that Yakumo fell asleep without warning. Masako Mori looked at Yakumo who fell into a deep sleep almost instantly, with a look of distress on his face.

Quietly lowering Yakumo's body.

Let Yakumo's head rest on his lap.

Fortunately, the bench was long enough for Yakumo to lie down on it.

As time goes by, the sun sets in the west.

Yakumo stretched his waist and opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was Masako Mori's black and white eyes, her long black hair hanging on his chest, and even...you could feel her subtle breathing.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Yakumo sat up, feeling extremely relaxed in his body and mind. Even the annoyance in his heart disappeared with the wind, and his whole body seemed to be washed away by some magical energy from the inside out.

"...It's only four hours, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"no thanks…"

Yakumo stood up. The sun in the sky was already close to the horizon. It was already time to have dinner. Waves of desire to eat came from his stomach to his mind.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Of course... this was the best sleep I've had in years."

Yakumo did not hesitate and expressed the truest feelings in his heart.

Hearing this, Masako Mori showed a joyful smile on her face.

"If you like...you can do it in the future."

"What?"

"Knee pillow...Knee pillow, idiot Yakumo."

Masako Mori's face turned red and she spoke in annoyance.

"That's not necessary."

Yakumo looked at her calmly and saw that Mori Masako's increasingly slender and straight legs could be described as well-proportioned.

"Let's go and eat."

"Great."

The two walked hand in hand on the streets of Konoha.

The smile on Yakumo's face gradually disappeared.

A few meters in front of the two of them, a thin and even emaciated figure suddenly appeared. The corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and even his beard was completely gray.

The third generation Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Wait me a moment."

Yakumo drew out his right hand and approached Sarutobi Hiruzen in a few seconds.

"Yakumo... I'm very sorry to interrupt your date with your girlfriend... I want to ask you about Orochimaru. I hope you can understand the worries that I, a master, have about my apprentice."

Yakumo nodded inaudibly. He could understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations for Orochimaru. At the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen even had the intention to recommend Orochimaru to become the Fourth Hokage.

"Of course...but to make a long story short..."

"He has defected."

"The document handed to Uncle Hatake recorded all the intelligence and some of the guesses I had, including that Orochimaru deliberately delayed the battle and sacrificed blood to the evil god... In the end, a life form similar to a tailed beast came to the ninja world, and the monster attacked

Killed more than five hundred Iwagakure and a dozen Konoha ninjas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and meditated. The smell of cigarette smoke on his body was extremely strong, as if he had been smoking for several hours in some airtight space. He had pieced together most of the truth from the testimonies of Anbu and witnessing ninjas.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen still has one thing that remains unclear.

"Orochimaru had a conflict with you before he left. I want to know the content of the conversation between you two in the tent."

"This is very simple. Orochimaru wants me to defect with him and study the art of immortality together."

Yakumo answered without hesitation.

"Wrong way, wrong way, how can anyone in this world live forever? Even the Six Paths Sage who founded the Ninja Sect can't do it..."

Yakumo remained silent, quietly remembering other things in his heart.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen got the answer he wanted, he already had the intention to leave, but he didn't want Yakumo to ask.

"Are you really unaware of the Night Fury's plot against me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then immediately spoke.

"I really don't know."

"I do not believe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took half a step back and stared into Yakumo's eyes.

"What do you want?"

"Uncle Hatake...did a good job in this war."

"Of course, I admit...I'm not as good as him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied somewhat modestly.

"Since... young people have done a good job and can take up the leadership of Konoha Hidden Village, why don't you go home and enjoy the happiness of your family."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused.

"Why don't you retreat?"

Yakumo said calmly.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has resigned as Hokage, he still has some supporters in Konoha Village, and he is a member of Konoha's elders. Although his status is not as good as Hokage's, he still plays a decisive role.

"Is this really what it's like?"

"I don't believe it. You don't know anything about Night Fury's behavior..."

Yakumo said in a deep voice.

"But I... really don't know!"

"But I don't believe it..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little helpless.

At this time, he already knew that no matter how much solid and powerful evidence he presented, he could not gain Yakumo's trust.

No matter...whatever the explanation is.

He just doesn't believe you.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt helpless in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at his skinny hands covered with age spots and sighed with some dejection.

"I have accepted this matter. After the peace talks are over...I will resign."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and left slowly, his back full of loneliness.

"By the way, Orochimaru is in danger now. I advise you...don't rush out of the village to look for him...otherwise...he may kill him with his own hands."

Yakumo reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen with good intentions towards his back.

The two hands were linked together again.

A smile appeared on Yakumo's face, as if he had just done a trivial thing, and the two of them walked side by side towards the aroma-filled barbecue restaurant.

on the way home.

Masako Mori seemed to have remembered something.

"By the way, Yougu Qianxue came to see you during this period, but..."

"I know... the cemetery keeper."

"But he didn't tell me what happened. He just said that he would tell you personally when you return with the army."

Yakumo nodded, many thoughts flashing through his mind.

The two of them walked to the door of their house.

Yakumo saw a figure squatting at the door.

It's exactly...Sorrowful Qianxue.

Obviously, he has been waiting here for a long time.

"Yakumo-sama..."

Worried Bone Qianxue stood up immediately, but her expression was a little complicated.

"Masako Mori, please go home first..."

Yakumo took back his right hand and patted Mori Masako's back gently.

The sorrowful Qianxue suddenly came to his door, which made him feel a little bad...

After Masako Mori turned into the courtyard, Yakumo signaled Qianyuki to speak.

"Yakumo-sama, I discovered that your parents' graves were suspected of being stolen at night a few months ago..."

Yakumo remained calm on the surface.

"Let's go, let's go to the cemetery first."

Yakumo did not vent his anger on Qianxue because of this incident.

On the way, Yakumo learned from Qianxue Qianxue that he analyzed the extent of the decline of the soil in the grave and concluded that the grave of Yakumo's parents might have been stolen, but he did not open the cemetery to check.

Half an hour later, the two came to the hillside of the cemetery.

The night is getting darker, but the temperature around the cemetery is a bit cold. The location here is far away from Konoha... there are only a few sparse lights in the far distance, and... Qianxue Qianxue has lived in this environment for a long time.

Yakumo quickly jumped up the hillside and came to his parents' gravesite.

Press your hand on the tombstone...invisible waves spread.

Subtly aware of the situation under the tombstone.

"Empty."

A few minutes later, Qianxue, who was worried and sweating profusely, came to Yakumo's side.

A look of anticipation and panic.

Yakumo shook his head gently.

He has determined that his parents' graves are empty.

His right fist was clenched instantly, and his anger gradually rose, like a flame.

With a snap, Qianxue Qianxue knelt directly on the ground.

From the instinct of life...he sensed the terrifying pressure coming.

This feeling is like a young rabbit facing an elephant. Even if the other party does not show any malice, it is frightened just because of its huge body.

"Lord Yakumo, please forgive me."

Almost instantly, his head touched the ground.

Full of fear.

After Yakumo calmed down, he felt a little embarrassed. His anger was not directed at Sangoku Qianxue, but the uncontrollable burst of pressure still made Sangoku Qianxue kneel to the ground.

After all, when I paid Yougu Qianxue 200,000 yuan, I just wanted him to help with some extra cleaning. As for the other things...it had nothing to do with Yougu Qianxue.

Yakumo bent down and lifted Qianxue up, and used Palm Senjutsu to heal the wound on his forehead.

"I understand that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Yakumo looked at Qianxue, whose face was filled with guilt and worry, and comforted him.

"this is not your fault."

Yakumo turned around and followed the mountain road down the mountain. Finally, the two of them came to the wooden house of Yougu Qianxue. The house was very dark.

"I think I should repay you..."

Yakumo spoke seriously.

At the same time, he gently patted Yougu Qianxue on the shoulder.

If it hadn't been for the notice from Yougu Qianxue, he might never have been aware of this matter. After all, he wouldn't be free enough to use sensory ninjutsu to confirm the status of his parents' ashes...

"This...I deserve it."

The worried Qianxue shook her head firmly and said.

"Want to become a ninja?"

"think…"

The worried Qianxue raised her head again, feeling so fragrant instantly.

Yakumo left a chakra refining scroll and a few simple ninjutsu for Chiyuki, the sad bone, and then left.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Yakumo's expression suddenly changed.

From dull to angry and twisted, the fire in my heart is burning.

This is sworn hatred.

Yakumo is sure...

This matter must have been done by Orochimaru!
