Konoha's task master

Under the moonlight, the two men were facing each other faintly.

Yakumo knew that Uchiha Tsuru's attacker was not good at all, so his right hand was already pressed on the Glory Sword Box on his back, and although he did not make a move, he gradually began to gain momentum.

Calm down and concentrate, and your breathing gradually slows down.

Under the moonlight, the three blood-red magatama in Uchiha Crane's Eye rotated rapidly like a big windmill, and finally converged into a new pattern, like three long ovals superimposed on each other.

"Mangekyō Sharingan."

Yakumo shouted softly, and there was a faint feeling of being locked at the spiritual level.

But his mind judged that this locking was not a threat.

"Heng Yan's death really has nothing to do with you?"

Uchiha Crane covered his left eye and asked.

"Really not."

Yakumo answered immediately.

Uchiha Crane was stunned when he heard this, and astonishment gradually appeared on his face. Time passed slowly. After more than ten seconds, Uchiha Crane bowed slightly.

"Please understand how I feel about losing my grandson. I'm sorry for any intrusion or offense."

This scene caught Yakumo off guard.

The ability of Uchiha Tsuru's right eye is called Judgment.

When the enemy uses lies to cover up the problem, he will ignite the deceiver's body with fire. He just used this technique on Yakumo, but the result was beyond his expectation.

"It turned out to be really not him."

Uchiha Tsuru turned around and left. If it was Yakumo, he would be willing to risk his life to avenge Henyan. If not... he would spend his whole life finding the real culprit behind the scenes, and then burn him to death with the fire of judgment.

"What are you doing?"

Yakumo took back his right hand that was placed on the glory sword box, gradually calmed down the blood and fighting spirit rising in his heart, and continued running towards home.

Just now, Uchiha Tsuru must have confirmed through some means that he was not the murderer. This unknown means, Yakumo guessed, might be related to the pupil technique derived from the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After returning home, Yakumo simply washed and went to bed.

The next day, Yakumo got up and got dressed, after having breakfast.

Heading to Konoha Hospital, he noticed that the number of black-clothed ANBU on the road had increased significantly, and more of them were responsible for covert vigilance.

The Konoha Security Department was held accountable that day.

Uchiha Henen was assassinated in the village. In this matter, the Konoha Security Department needs to bear the responsibility for improper defense.

Part of the year-end bonus and paid vacation will be deducted from all employees.

In addition, the Konoha Security Department and the ANBU conducted a new round of purges of spies from other villages within Konoha Hidden Village. On the surface, Konoha is still peaceful and stable.

But secretly, a dozen people are arrested and brought to justice every day.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Yakumo.

During this period, Yakumo still carried out a regular life schedule. In the morning, he went to Konoha Hospital to cultivate and grow life cells, and in the afternoon, he used the transformation technique to eat lunch.

After dinner, we went to the Konoha Cemetery to guide Qianxue, the Worrying Bone, in her training.

Occasionally, Yakumo would take Chiyuki with him to look for old shops with decades of history on the streets of Konoha.

Savor the signature delicacies in the store.

After the meal, the two of them would wander around the streets without any goals.

The worried Qianxue gradually sees the bigger world.

At the same time.

The ANBU was also conducting a comprehensive investigation into the death of Uchiha Tsunei, but after several comprehensive investigations, they were unable to find any useful clues.

By the end of November, the ANBU investigation was completely completed.

If I could sum it up in just four words.

"No clue."

The turmoil caused by the death of Uchiha Tsune gradually calmed down, and even Uchiha Tsuru, who wanted revenge the most, seemed to have given up on tracing the murderer.

At the end of November, Hatake Sakumo personally came to apologize to Uchiha Tsuru, and promised that he would continue to track down the murderer in the future.

But something unexpected happened...

Hatake Sakumo didn't see Uchiha Tsuru.

in other words…

Uchiha Crane disappeared from his residence without a trace.

This incident once again caused waves in Konoha. Uchiha Tsuru was not only the elder of the Uchiha clan, but also a powerful figure in Konoha's security department.

It can be considered a high-rise in Konoha Hidden Village.

The Anbu immediately started a new round of investigation, and found that there was no damage to the doors or windows, and there were no signs of fighting in the house.

At the same time, ANBU relied on the servant's dictation.

confirm…

Uchiha Crane left his residence on his own initiative.

Under the orders of Hatake Sakumo.

The ANBU intelligence department opened a wide network and spies hidden in various countries began to investigate the whereabouts of Uchiha Tsuru through various channels.

But no traces were found.

Evaporated.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that I was saddened by the death of my grandson in my seventies and made the decision to run away from home.

But Yakumo felt that there must be a hidden meaning in this matter, from the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, to the death of Uchiha Henen, and finally the disappearance of Uchiha Crane.

There must be some connection between these three things that he cannot understand.

Time flies like water...and it’s the end of December in a blink of an eye.

Gold coins: 66,700.

Yakumo lay on the bed, waiting for the passage of time.

At the same time, the game interface is called up.

〖Skill interface〗

initiative:

Master of Wood Escape Codex 0/3200 "Acceleration"

He clicked to speed up again and again.

Memories of practicing Mu Dun flashed through his mind crazily.

Enduring.

Some of these memories are repeated and some are wrong.

But Yakumo's proficiency in the Wood Release Secret Code is rapidly improving.

Many thoughts about the Secret Code of Wood Escape came to mind.

Yakumo closed his eyes slightly and continued to digest the memory.

After a few minutes, I opened my eyes...

Keep adding more.

"Accelerate"... "Accelerate"

More memories rushed out crazily in Yakumo's mind. In just a few dozen minutes, Yakumo actually had the illusion that he had been practicing the Mujutsu series of ninjutsu for nearly a hundred years.

Looking at the scene in the bedroom, I suddenly felt a sense of fragmentation.

Yakumo rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

I need time to digest these memories that are pouring out.

Jump up and push open the window.

Jumped to the roof.

Yakumo lay on the tiles and looked at the bright stars.

It is precisely because of the vastness of the universe that we realize our own insignificance.

A few hundred years is insignificant compared to the universe.

"call--"

Some cold air filled my lungs, and my spirit became invigorating.

Yakumo recalled the game interface and continued to add points.

"Acceleration" ×150 times.

"Acceleration" ×100 times.

Until the memories rolling in my mind stop.

Until Yakumo's eyes became firm and wise again.

The memories of hundreds of years of practicing Mu Dun were all absorbed.

initiative:

Master of Wooden Escape Codex 3200/3200 "Breakthrough"

Within a few hours, he became stronger again.

Gold coins: 66700 → 34700 points.

It happened to be midnight.

New Year limited store refresh.

Yakumo didn't hesitate and clicked to buy it directly.

"Grandmaster Level Breakthrough Scroll", quantity two.

Gold coins: 34700→8700.

Essence stone, quantity ten.

Gold coins: 700 pieces.

Yakumo jumped off the roof, went to the bathroom and simply washed himself, feeling the changes brought about by the improvement of the Wooden Secret Code on his body.

The life within it becomes more powerful.

There are new changes hidden in it.

Gu Jing

Yakumo speculated that after reaching the level of Grandmaster of Mudun Secret Code...

Your body will usher in a new evolution.

The Wooden Secret Codex is an ordinary ninjutsu, but after the strengthening of unique talents, it actually derives magical abilities that can affect the strengthening of the body.

"I'm really an ordinary little genius."

Before going to bed, Yakumo increases the power of Fu Mo.

When the ten essence stones are used up, the increase rate reaches 223%!

The blade of the devil becomes even sharper.

Of course, this is not just an increase in sharpness.

After there was actually a demonic transmission...

The power of Yakumo Chakra will also increase by 223%!

The newly improved Demon Subduer is included in the Glory Sword Box.

However, Yakumo felt a little itchy and wanted to go to the arena to compete with Mondo.

But he also knows that with his current strength, he cannot defeat Mundo at all, and entering the arena now is just a waste of gold coins.

Yakumo finally suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart.

Turn over and go to sleep.

After all, the next day...is the time to go out to the village for fun.

The next day, under the leadership of Yakumo.

The three of them left Konoha Hidden Village and headed to Black Rock City.

Black Rock City is located in the west of the Fire Country, an area with a relatively poor economy. It is precisely because of this that mountain bandits are rampant near Black Rock City, and there are almost no caravans coming and going.

In this outing plan, the three of them will travel to and from the six main cities of the Land of Fire for a month, finally reaching the destination of Black Rock City, and then starting from Black Rock City and returning to Konoha Hidden Village via another route.

This trip... lasted two months.

The three of them traveled across mountains and rivers.

Finally, at the end of January, the three of them arrived at Black Rock City.

Inside the hotel, Yakumo spread out the map.

There are two bandit groups of about a hundred people in the east and west directions of Black Rock City. Although these two strongholds have local frictions, they are unanimous in the general direction and prevent other bandits from taking root in Black Rock City.

Two villages control two trade routes.

It can be said that I have made a lot of money in these years.

But nearly five thousand businessmen died in their hands...

"These two cottages are Qianxue's trial targets."

Yakumo drew circles on the ground with a pen.

At the same time, specific tasks were assigned. Since Qianxue Qianxue chose to become a ninja, he must be accompanied by killing.

As a master, all Yakumo can do is to establish a safer trial environment as much as possible. The two cottages in the east and west directions of Black Rock City are the trial grounds chosen by Yakumo for Qianxue Qianxue.

"I had my shadow clone explore it a few nights ago."

"There are two jounin in each of these two villages. They are two defected ninjas from Iwagakure Village. Of course, if they attack you, I will help them deal with it... All the remaining enemies are the targets of your trial.

.”

"As you command, I will do whatever it takes to complete the mission!"

Worried Bone Qianxue stared at the map and said firmly.

There was a little silence in the bedroom.

The worried Qianxue observed the map and at the same time flipped through the detailed channels provided by Yakumo, feeling confident about the next trial.

That night, Qianxue Qianxue decided to carry out the mission.

The three of them changed into night clothes and set out at night.

The target is the west side of Black Rock City...cottage.

One Jonin, one Chunin, and five Genin.

What's left is nearly a hundred expendable cannon fodder.

The candidates are not fixed all year round.

Basically there will be one every few days...

Old people disappear and new people emerge.

At the foot of the mountain, Yakumo and Masako Mori hide in the shadows.

Worrying Bones Qianxue approached the village step by step.

The footsteps are very light, like a night owl moving... silently.

Yakumo’s careful guidance for two years.

and six months of physical revitalization.

A secret code of profound sword skills.

Although Qianxue Qianxue has never attended a ninja school, her current combat power is enough to deal with Chunin-level enemies.

The difficulty of this trial is not high, as long as he is accustomed to killing.

"I'll go up to protect him, so don't go up."

Yakumo said to Masako Mori.

At the same time, two shadow clones were left in the darkness.

Responsible for protecting Masako Mori.

Be prepared.

Yakumo followed behind Qianxue, his movements were like a ghost.

The invisible perception ability spreads, and the distribution of the locations of the robbers in the village is reflected in Yakumo's mind, as clear and transparent as the chess pieces on a chessboard.

Qianxue Qianxue is using the method taught by Yakumo to infiltrate, that is, as long as all the secret sentries are eliminated, it is equivalent to never being exposed...

On the way here, the bandits and robbers were eliminated by Yakumo's shadow clone.

The current worried Qianxue is still a young man who has yet to see blood.

Dark clouds obscure the moonlight.

The worried Qianxue held the short blade and suddenly exploded with all her strength.

The blood line flashed away, and two simple knives fell.

The two secret sentries were quickly dealt with, and neither of them made any sound during this period. You must know that the amount of chakra in their bodies is very thin, but they are tall and strong, and their muscles and bones are strong, with the strength of one against three.

But she couldn't make any reaction in the hands of Yougu Qianxue.

"Clean and neat, no holds barred."

Yakumo commented in a low voice from behind. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that after solving the two people, Qianxue's expression did not change at all. It was as if he had adapted to killing in an instant, or... there was no process of adapting to the habit at all.

Naturally adept at taking away life.

"The door to killing...is completely opened."

In Yakumo's eyes, Qianxue Qianxue quickly blended into the night like a cunning rabbit, quietly... and soon the location of the second secret sentry was determined.

They were prepared in accordance with the law and the two of them were eliminated almost instantly.

The sword skills taught by Yakumo were completely transformed into the killing skills of Qianxue Qianxue, until all the secret sentries were completely eliminated.

The sorrowful Qianxue entered the belly of the village.

Without stopping, they immediately started killing from the outer room.

The smell of blood spreads faintly.

In the center of the cottage.

The wooden door of the bandit leader was pushed open instantly... He was a middle-aged man with short stature and thick limbs.

Because of this face, he was often laughed at by his companions in Iwagakure Village, and eventually his anger burned out his reason.

In one operation... he attacked his comrades who used to laugh at him and completely betrayed Iwagakure.

Became the king near Black Rock City.

From then on, everyone looked at him with only fear and respect.

From then on, no one dared to laugh at his height!

But tonight.

He smelled the faint scent of blood in the air.

This smell reminded him of past memories.

That was when I participated in the Ninja War more than ten years ago.

Countless corpses piled up into mountains, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.

He casually killed the woman who was serving him.

Even if this woman is beautiful enough, he still likes her...

But he doesn't like others using...things he has used.

He picked up the ninja sword and rushed out of the house.

In the years since he became the king of Black Rock City.

In the crushing battles...

He lost his ninja caution.

"brush."

Under the cover of night, a drop of water fell quickly from a very far distance, passing through my chest in almost the blink of an eye.

The flower of blood blooms.

ended his sinful life.

But before he died, he set off warning fireworks.

In various wooden houses.

Dozens of disheveled strong men quickly walked out.

They carried a variety of weapons in their hands.
