Konoha's task master

Yakumo sat on the edge of the bed.

I recall the healing process in my mind.

If it were anyone else, he would not be so tied up. It is precisely because he cannot bear the price of failure that he has a lot of hesitation and hesitation.

"The mind still needs training."

The intensity of Yakumo's life control has indeed directly suppressed the genes of the Uchiha clan and directly forced the fusion.

But in this case, the result of the fusion will not be the most perfect form.

It even directly led to the reduction of Masako Mori's future potential and the shortening of her life span.

The function of strong luck is to transform bad trends into perfection.

Next, the same principle applies to the genes of the Uzumaki clan. The function of strong luck is more like choosing the most perfect ending among thousands of possible outcomes.

But why... failed to give birth to the Samsara Eye, or even worse, the Mangekyō Sharingan. Is the mere three Magatama a bit too stretched on the crotch.

Because it is too weak?

Yakumo began to analyze.

Of course, there is another possibility that the Senju and Uchiha blood in Masako Mori's body is not very strong.

Not as good as the fusion of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in terms of quality?

In the original work, Uchiha Madara struggled in the cave for twenty years before he developed the Samsara Eye. From this point, it can be determined that power involving the six levels is extremely difficult to obtain...

This also completely cuts off Yakumo's plan to let others fuse the incomplete Otsutsuki bloodline to mass-produce super shadow-level combat power.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is more precious than imagined.

Blue light clusters emerged from Yakumo's hands, nourishing Masako Mori's body and providing energy for the fusion and evolution of cells.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Masako Mori opened her arms and hugged Yakumo vigorously. The two looked at each other, showing their love.

Masako Mori did not express her gratitude to Yakumo, but took the initiative to put her face close to Yakumo.

Five minutes later, Yakumo took Masako Mori into the secret passage, opened the secret door, and came to Yakumo's bedroom.

The sun shines through the glass and onto the two of them.

Masako Mori stretched out her hand to try to catch the misty light. Now she felt unprecedented comfort and happiness, and joy spread out from every pore.

This is evolution and rebirth.

"Let's go, Uncle Sen is still waiting for us outside."

Yakumo took Masako Mori's right hand and came to the courtyard facing the sunshine.

Mori Keiji immediately jumped up from the stone chair. When he saw the good-looking and rosy Masako Mori, his expression suddenly became extremely wonderful.

It contains joy, happiness, doubt, scrutiny, and the excitement of a drowning person's remaining life.

He opened his mouth but no sound came out.

Yakumo could see what he was going to say, but he was temporarily speechless due to the great surprise in his heart.

Keiji Mori raised his right hand tremblingly, with four fingers bent, leaving only the index finger pointing in the direction of Masako Mori. His voice was slightly trembling and vague.

"alright?"

"certainly."

Mori Keiji immediately took half a step forward, pushed Yakumo to the side, and couldn't wait to open his arms to hold Mori Masako in his arms. At this time, this man in his forties had red eyes with tears lingering in his eyes.

"Okay... that's good... ugh..."

Yakumo had no choice but to give up his position. He could understand Keiji Mori's mood to some extent. As a parent...he naturally loved Masako Mori unreservedly. This kind of love would turn into extremely depressing pain due to the blood disease.

After dozens of seconds, Mori Keiji faced Yakumo and expressed his sincere thanks.

That night, Yakumo had dinner at Masako Mori's house. It was obvious that Keiji Mori and Yoshiku Uzumaki had completely accepted Yakumo, and had even begun to urge them to get married.

"In the past, my husband looked down on you very much. He often said that you were of ordinary blood and poor in strength, which means you were just okay in appearance."

"Exactly my type."

Everyone at the dinner table was enjoying their meal very happily, but Uzumaki Yōjiu was as candid as ever.

Especially the last sentence added... was her favorite type, which made Yakumo break into cold sweat. Fortunately, Keiji Mori's expression remained normal, as if he had adapted to Uzumaki Yoshiju's speaking style.

The topic of conversation among several people always revolved around the relationship between Yakumo and Masako Mori. Compared to the last time they met their parents, this time was undoubtedly more formal. Yakumo sensed recognition from Yoshiaki Uzumaki and Keiji Mori.

In the incense burner next to the dining table, long wisps of fragrance rise, making people energetic. The bright moonlight shines through the square window and reflects on the marble floor.

"Ahem, when do you plan to get married?"

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and Mori Keiji asked, his eyes focused on Yakumo, with a hint of scrutiny.

Yakumo felt happy, thinking that after rescuing Masako Mori, the marriage should be stable, but unfortunately his father-in-law seemed a little unhappy with him.

"About...four years later, after all, we are not adults."

After Yakumo thought for a moment... he spoke tentatively.

"Masako, what do you think?"

Keiji Mori turned his head to look at Masako Mori with a smile on his face. From the majestic and cold mountain to the warm harbor of his daughter, the speed of his face change made Yakumo a little bit speechless.

"I listen to Yakumo..."

Masako Mori answered immediately without any hesitation.

Click, is the sound of heartbreak.

The pressure in the space suddenly came to Yakumo's side.

Mori Keiji turned his head and looked at Yakumo. Although he had accepted Yakumo in his heart, he felt somewhat uncomfortable...

This feeling was like the cabbage that his family had worked hard to raise for more than ten years and was taken over by a pig. Even though he admitted that the pig looked excellent, was powerful, and had many advantages... he still felt unhappy in his heart.

Yakumo's heart tightened, and his mind raced to prepare for Mori Keiji's next question, but when the latter asked... it was not a question.

"Then four years from now."

Keiji Mori suddenly changed the topic... He stood up, took the teapot and walked towards the steps, his body slowly disappearing into the shadows.

For some reason, his figure was shaking slightly, and there were only three people left on the table looking at each other.

"Aunt Fangjiu...Uncle Sen is not angry, is he?"

Yakumo asked cautiously.

"Where, where."

Uzumaki Yōjiu waved her hand casually.

"We are very satisfied with this marriage. The guy was just happy today and accidentally drank too much."

Yakumo nodded when he heard this, but he was a little surprised. If he expected it right, Uncle Mori seemed to have only drank a glass of sake just now.

This drink is also of the highest quality.

Only then did Yakumo relax his vigilance and pick up the honeydew melon with a toothpick.

"After you get married, will you protect Masako with your life?"

Suddenly, Uzumaki Yōjiu asked.

The peaceful eyes revealed a bit of ferocity, the ordinary face suddenly became three-dimensional and beautiful, and the bright red hair burned like a flame.

This housewife who usually buys groceries and cooks transformed gorgeously under Yakumo's surprised gaze, and the aura spread around her was no less than Kage level.

Yakumo's hand holding the melon stopped in mid-air, he was a little surprised, and at the same time secretly thought that he was careless.

He had never carefully observed this outspoken mother-in-law. The momentum she displayed at this moment was no weaker than that of the iron-blooded warrior who had been fighting in the Anbu for several years.

This is Uzumaki Yoshiju's true face, and it comes to mind... How could Keiji Mori, who has the blood of two clans... and has a shadow-level strength, fall in love with an ordinary housewife?

It seems as if a disagreement will lead to an outright war.

This is the test of my mother-in-law.

Yakumo's eyes were firm and his movements did not waver in any way. He looked directly into Uzumaki Yoshiaki's eyes and answered sincerely.

"I will do whatever it takes to protect Masako Mori."

"That's good."

A smile appeared on Uzumaki Yoshiaki's face again, her face became mediocre, the fierceness on her face gradually disappeared, and she became a housewife who was accompanied by kitchen fireworks all day again.

Yakumo swallowed the honeydew, but never dared to ignore his mother-in-law again.

Fortunately...the considerate Masako Mori comes into play.

"Let's go out...for a walk." Masako Mori said.

"OK."

Yakumo is very happy.

The next day, Yakumo came to Konoha Hospital.

Aoyama Reiko and Tsunade were having a heated discussion on the research of life cells. When Yakumo arrived, the two immediately stopped.

Under the influence of life mastery, Yakumo stripped off 99% of the will of Hashirama's cells and created life cells that were close to perfect and safe.

Although Yakumo can eliminate the last one percent of the will of Hashirama cells through life control, it will destroy the recovery ability and universal adaptability of life cells. If you pursue perfection too much, you will lose more than you gain.

"Has Masako Mori been successfully cured?"

Aoyama Reiko immediately asked. Although Yakumo did not ask anyone else to assist in the surgery, the day of the treatment was not a secret.

"Yeah, it worked."

When Tsunade heard this, she suddenly remembered that about ten years ago, she had personally sentenced the girl to death. What made her very unbelievable was that... there is really a way to cure the blood disease.

If it was said that the treatment of Itachi Uchiha some time ago involved finding a timely trick, but curing Masako Mori now is a real miracle.

"I want to learn that ninjutsu."

Tsunade approached Yakumo, and the smell of wine mixed with the fragrance of milk immediately penetrated Yakumo's nose. Apparently, she went to the pub to have a drink after get off work yesterday, especially in Tsunade's eyes, there was something difficult to detect. of sadness.

"I don't teach you that ninjutsu."

Yakumo shook his head. The ability to master life was too dangerous and he did not intend to pass this skill on to anyone.

"you you……"

Tsunade's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were faintly burning with flames, and the full arc of her chest was trembling regularly.

"Master, this ninjutsu is too dangerous..."

"Humph, brat."

Tsunade snorted, looking so graceful.

But in her heart, she just thought that Yakumo was perfunctory. After all, it is normal for ninjutsu to be dangerous. Which ninjutsu above A level is not dangerous?

There was a snap.

She threw a pile of reports in front of Yakumo, stood up and returned to her seat, her face still showing traces of anger.

This report records... the major events that occurred in the ninja world during this period, including the decision on the title of the country of wind's daimyo.

The second son of the previous daimyo succeeded him as daimyo, and all the other brothers lost their lives. But the strange thing is that this second son's own background is far inferior to that of the other candidates.

Even though his character was a little weak, he killed all his brothers and sisters and became famous in the Kingdom of Wind as the last competitor.

There was obviously something unreasonable about this, and it was beyond Konoha's initial expectations.

Yakumo estimated that this Daimyo of the Land of Wind should be under investigation by the Anbu of Konoha, but he was unable to obtain information about the Anbu due to his authority.

In addition, the Third Kazekage retired after passing the throne to Rasa.

The strange thing is...according to the information from Konoha Anbu, the Third Kazekage did not go to the Endless Desert to retreat, but left the Sand Hidden Village and disappeared without a trace.

Also missing was Sunagakure elder Ebizo.

A thoughtful look appeared on Yakumo's face. Ebizo was Chiyo's younger brother, and the two had a deep relationship that lasted for more than forty years.

So the question is, will he give up revenge?

Obviously not. Since he was planning revenge...why would he give up the power he held in Sunagakure Village?

"He found other forces that could avenge him."

Yakumo's mind changed rapidly, and he quickly guessed the question closely.

This is the benefit brought by having enough intelligence attributes, but a sense of urgency suddenly arises in my heart.

The secret enemy may not wait until he is fully prepared.

He lowered his head and continued to read the text on the report.

At present, the policy of locking down the country of water is still implemented, and the Konoha Anbu has very little information about Kirigakure Village. They only know that the third generation Mizukage has passed the throne to the fourth generation Mizukage.

In this life, there is no blood mist.

Yakumo quickly grasped the basic situation of the ninja world in the past few months.

Undercurrents are still surging outside Konoha.

Due to Yakumo's presence and the transcendent status of Konoha, the remaining three hidden villages have temporarily suppressed various contradictions and conflicts, and there is a faint tendency to conduct joint operations.

Yakumo is not strong enough yet, not enough... to directly suppress all the monsters in the ninja world.

But it won't take long.

Four months later, the Wooden Escape Codex will break through to the Grandmaster level and gain exclusive enhanced permissions. By then, Yakumo's strength will inevitably take a leap forward.

The enhanced authority of Wood Escape is transformed from the eleventh-level secret forest source code, which may contain power beyond the six paths.

"I go first."

Near noon, Tsunade got up and left.

Hashirama's cell will has been further compressed and reduced, which has also made the work of cultivating life cells quite simple. Now the three of them only need one morning to complete the original workload.

"good."

Yakumo nodded, he could see that Tsunade was a little dissatisfied.

After all, when he asked for the Secret Book of Wood Release, Tsunade did not hesitate and took out the scroll marked by Senju Hashirama himself.

Although the master-level Palm Senjutsu is precious, it is still much lighter than the Wood Release used by the first Hokage to conquer the ninja world.

It's a pity...Yakumo can't let life control become abused.

"I'm leaving first too."

Yakumo stood up, moved forward... and caught up with Tsunade in a few steps.

Tsunade walked swiftly and swiftly between buildings. She was wearing a navy blue robe, but it was very loose. Some beautiful things were almost ready to appear, forming a beautiful scenery.

Yakumo quickly caught up from behind.

"Master, you seem to be still angry."

"What are you doing following me?"

Tsunade asked back, for some reason the sadness in her eyes began to spread.

"I want to explain."

The two landed at the training ground behind the Senju Mansion.

This is a place that Yakumo is quite familiar with. He once practiced ninjutsu with Jiraiya here and spent a good few months here.

During that time, he had an excellent relationship with Jiraiya.

Although they are not masters and apprentices, they are better than masters and apprentices. However, as Yakumo's strength continued to improve, an invisible barrier appeared between the two. Since then, Yakumo has not been here.

Jiraiya was lying under the shade of a lush ancient tree, with his head resting on his hands, a dogtail hanging from the corner of his mouth, and most of his chest exposed, looking a little bohemian.

"I treat you as my own disciple, but you always treat me as an outsider."

Yakumo was stunned, he had indeed never revealed his true strength to Tsunade, and she knew the truth only after... Yakumo broke out powerfully on the Sunagakure battlefield, easily killing Elder Chiyo instantly.

Although Tsunade was careless, she did take good care of Yakumo. She once spent about two months personally teaching the art of extracting minor troubles.

Yakumo initially conducted the research on life cells without telling Tsunade, but only in the second stage did Reiko Aoyama extend an invitation to Tsunade.

Actually... given the relationship between the two, Yakumo should have taken the initiative to invite.

Even though Tsunade has many things wrong with her, she treats others with sincerity.

This is something Yakumo cannot compare to.

But treating people with sincerity also requires strength as the foundation.

Yakumo still treats people with sincerity now, that's because he is strong enough and there is no need to make all those twists and turns. After all, the sword in his hand is the greatest truth in the ninja world. He took a deep breath... He finally decided to confess.

"Master, it's not that I don't want to teach it, it's just that the possible effects of this ninjutsu are too dangerous. I'm worried that it will spread and be abused by others... causing irreparable consequences to the ninja world."

After hearing this, Tsunade put away the anger on her face and asked.

"Is it really dangerous?"

"Exceeding Orochimaru's knowledge by a thousand times."

Tsunade was silent. She and Aoyama Reiko had dabbled in the knowledge left by Orochimaru and knew how evil and terrifying it was.

But if the technique that Yakumo masters really reaches a thousand times, what kind of forbidden knowledge will it be.

Tsunade suddenly felt that if he hadn't lied, then Yakumo's approach might have been the right choice.

This was done out of consideration for the safety of the ninja world. Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction in my heart... gradually dissipated.

"You didn't lie to me this time?"

"Of course every word is true!" Yakumo assured, patting his chest.

Tsunade just didn't like Yakumo's hiding attitude.

This made her very angry...

After all, she hates cheating!!

"This time...I forgive you."

Tsunade smiled, as if the cold winter was gone and the warm spring arrived with the breeze. Seeing this, Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief.

The relationship that was originally on the bad side finally returned to normal. This was exactly what he expected.

At this time, Jiraiya stood up and came to the two of them. The three of them had a picnic under the shade of a tree, and laughter soon replaced the dull atmosphere.

Many years ago, three teenagers gathered under this big tree for a picnic and enjoyed their dreams.

At that time, they vowed to be lifelong friends and fight side by side until the end of their lives.

The food and sake went down very quickly, and a certain sad atmosphere dispersed, like the hazy mist in the early morning, but it lingered for a long time... and penetrated the heart and spleen.

Yakumo suddenly woke up, but he woke up a little too late.

Jiraiya and Tsunade gathered here to remember.

In memory of…

The old friend who was killed by Yakumo himself... Orochimaru.

This feeling is really amazing.

Yakumo killed Orochimaru...

Now I come to participate in the ceremony to commemorate Orochimaru.

At this moment, many questions were explained...why Orochimaru brought Mitarashi Anko to train here, and why Jiraiya was always stunned or showing sadness in the training ground. Because...this is Tsunade, Jiraiya

Also, the secret base of Orochimaru and his trio.

In a sad atmosphere, the dinner party came to an end.

Jiraiya and Tsunade plan to have a second drink...

Yakumo left quietly.

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket.
