Konoha's task master

The game prompts flashed, and Yakumo looked happy.

This mission was triggered five years ago. Even if he quickly resolved the three battles and avoided Nohara Rin's death, the mission was still not completed.

Finally, after Obito and Nohara Rin officially confirmed their relationship...

mission completed!

"Submit task."

Yakumo said in his heart.

〖Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Taoist Scroll.〗

〖Congratulations to the player for obtaining the secret of illusion, Weilin can do everything.〗

〖Tip: Only for Obito use, it can stimulate high morale.〗

This secret of illusion is just like the Millennium Kill that was rewarded for completing Kakashi's bond mission, it's just a somewhat funny easter egg.

In reality it has no effect.

Under the shade of a tree not far away, Obito was showing off the ninjutsu he had mastered to Lin as if no one was watching. The flames were beating at his fingertips, and Lin would smile sweetly in return.

Suddenly there was a bit of the sour smell of love around me.

Normal people don't change much when they have a girlfriend... But Obito is different. He started to show off his affection like crazy after getting together with Lin.

People are always caught off guard with a few mouthfuls of dog food.

"Hahaha…"

Yakumo smiled and covered his right eye. His action successfully attracted the attention of several people around him. He pointed his index finger at Obito and said.

"The secret of illusion: Weilin can do anything!"

Masako Mori was stunned for a moment, but soon started laughing. She didn't expect that her lover also had such a childish side.

"I just...will do anything for Lin!"

Uchiha Obito took Nohara Rin's hand and admitted generously.

"Tch~~" Masako Mori made a long sound.

"Obito... I know you are using money to support the lonely elderly, but you also have to consider yourself. After all, if you get married, you still have to buy a new house, etc."

Before they parted ways, Yakumo heard Kakashi admonishing Obito in a very low voice, and then turned around and went home coolly.

Now Yakumo clearly understood the purpose of Obito's mission reward. Although he admired it, he could not improve the situation.

Even Hatake Sakumo couldn't do this.

The overall welfare of Konoha is distributed according to work, that is, those who are able get more, and those old people who have never been on the battlefield or performed tasks are at the bottom of this distribution system.

This system is relatively fair in the eyes of many people...

Yakumo also has no idea of ​​changing the system.

At the end of December, Yakumo was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

During this time, Uchiha Obito was more diligent in taking on tasks, and he was not afraid of meat and vegetables.

Even if it is a task that he was unwilling to accept before, he will no longer hesitate. As long as the reward is high enough, he will happily accept it.

On the one hand, he continues to support those lonely elderly people.

On the other hand, I want to create a better future for Lin.

This also caused Obito to have a lot more responsibilities on his shoulders. Yakumo offered to help, but Obito refused.

This is the way of tolerance he chose. It may be difficult but he will never retreat.

The once carefree boy finally grew up.

After Masako Mori was cured, the pressure on Yakumo suddenly decreased a lot, but the length of daily practice continued to increase.

Currently, the art of submerging in the earth has reached the master level.

Yakumo can quickly shuttle through the soil without forming seals, but the speed of movement is slightly slower than when on the ground. This ninjutsu consumes very little chakra and can already operate continuously for 24 hours.

On the other hand, Masako Mori has given birth to the Three Magatama Sharingan, and the amount of chakra in her body has increased several times to the super shadow level.

But her food intake is still extremely exaggerated, and a certain kind of energy in her body is still giving birth to a certain kind of power, which naturally requires more food to provide energy.

Yakumo guessed it should be the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, this kind of gestation takes a long time.

Yakumo put away his sword and stood quietly in the courtyard.

"Uh-huh."

An Anbu dressed in black appeared in the shadows, wearing an ape mask on his face, and a gentle but somewhat suppressed voice came from under the mask.

"Hokage-sama... please."

"I'll go right away."

Yakumo nodded and put the demon in the sword box with a wave of his hand.

Soon after, Yakumo opened the door to the Hokage's office. Tsunade was lying facelessly on the sofa in the office. When Yakumo came in, she enthusiastically moved half of her body.

Yakumo sat directly on the wooden chair in front of the desk.

Hatake Sakumo slowly opened his mouth when he saw everyone gathered.

"The leader of Amegakure Village, Uzumaki Nagato, has his reincarnation eye taken away."

"Are there any casualties?"

Tsunade straightened her back and asked, looking very concerned.

"That's not true...but it is said that the attacker was an Uchiha."

Yakumo could feel Tsunade sighing in relief.

Although Uzumaki Nagato cannot exert the full power of the Rinnegan, with his huge amount of chakra and his two abilities of Shinra Tensei and All-Seeing Tensei, he can defeat most of the Kage level.

But someone took away his reincarnation eye.

"Uzumaki Nagato saw the Sharingan?"

"It's the Mangekyo Sharingan." Hatake Sakumo replied, and opened his mouth to add details of the attack that took place that night.

"The man used toxin to block the normal operation of the chakra in Nagato Uzumaki's body, and then used his hand to take out the eye. However, the man wore a blue mask and only revealed the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Yakumo knew clearly that the person who took action was not Madara Uchiha.

If it was Uchiha Madara, he should disdain to use poisoning, but since that person took the Rinnegan... it means that he has some kind of connection with Uchiha Madara.

"What can I do about this?" Yakumo asked.

"I need you and Tsunade to go to Amegakure Village to meet with Jiraiya to investigate this matter... and find the real culprit behind the scenes." Hatake Sakumo said.

"I'll go back and get ready. I'll see you at the entrance of the village in half an hour."

Tsunade stood up from the sofa and jumped out of the window with vigorous movements. For some reason... Yakumo always felt that there was a bit of panic in Tsunade's resolute back.

"Could it be Uchiha Tsuru?" Yakumo asked.

Hatake Sakumo turned the pen, his eyes a little helpless.

When he saw Uzumaki Nagato's description of the perpetrator, Hatake Sakumo already thought of the mysteriously missing Uchiha Tsuru.

But Konoha cannot admit that this matter has anything to do with Konoha.

"After all, Uchiha Tsuru is a powerful figure in the Uchiha clan, and he is also a high-ranking official in Konoha Hidden Village. For the sake of the harmony between Uchiha Hidden Village and Konoha Hidden Village, in this matter, I don't want the murderer... to be

Uchiha Crane."

"Understood..." Yakumo stood up and left.

As the current situation in the ninja world becomes worse, Hatake Sakumo also loses his initial edge and begins to make partial compromises to the so-called overall situation. If the three major ninja villages work together, Konoha can win... but it will be tragic.

Not long after the end of the Third World War, Konoha, as the only victorious nation, was recovering from the trauma caused by the war, and was constantly getting stronger and improving its strength, but the bigger it got, the easier it was for the whole body to be affected by a single move.

Although Yakumo could understand Hatake Sakumo's judgment as Hokage, his actions did lose some of his original vigor, and he began to be coerced by the general trend of the ninja world, making unintentional choices and judgments.

Obviously, the Uchiha clan was also aware of this decision. What Hatake Sakumo meant was that...if necessary, he could directly silence him, destroy his body and eliminate all traces, and completely cut off the connection between this matter and Konoha.

In other words...Uchiha Crane has been abandoned by the Uchiha clan.

On the streets of Konoha, Yakumo separated into a shadow clone and explained to Masako Mori that the main body was heading towards the village entrance carrying the Glory Sword Box on its back.

The storage scroll carries the necessities for his daily life, so he doesn't need to go home to pack them away.

"Meow."

A few minutes later, Milk Ball came and jumped on the surface of the Glory Sword Box, seemingly hoping to leave the village with Yakumo.

"No, you have to stay to protect Sister Ya."

"Meow."

Milk Ball jumped from the surface of the Glory Sword Box to the ground, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was dissatisfied because he could not leave the village.

Yakumo immediately promised to collect delicious food for him, and then the fat black and white cat left with his round buttocks shaking.

It was the depth of winter at this time, and although there was no snow, it was a bit chilly.

Only the bare branches of the lush trees were left, and even the bird's nest became empty, as the birds in it had already migrated for the winter.

The sky suddenly became a bit gloomy, and the cold wind was like dense knives constantly cutting into Yakumo's exposed wrists and neck.

Not long after, Tsunade, wearing a light blue ninja battle suit and iron armor, rushed to the entrance of Konoha Village. Her light yellow hair was tied into a ponytail, looking very heroic.

Yakumo stayed on her body for two seconds, and the speed of Tsunade's movements seemed a bit anxious...or rather nervous.

"Let's go." Tsunade said.

"okay."

The two of them ran on the wide road one after the other, gradually disappearing into the mountains and forests, and continued to move towards the Kingdom of Rain.

Dust splattered on the ground...like a thin mist.

In the early morning of that day, the two of them had entered the Kingdom of Rain.

Dense raindrops fell from the sky, which was infinitely cold. The coldness gradually penetrated and spread from the skin to the inside, traveling between the muscles and bones, seeming to freeze the person from the inside out.

However, Tsunade's speed did not decrease by half and remained at full speed.

"Would you like to rest for a while?" Yakumo asked.

"No...I suddenly had a bad feeling. I'd better hurry up and join Jiraiya."

Tsuna refused without turning back, but her face gradually turned pale. After more than ten hours of hard work, her physical strength had been exhausted, and she was only relying on her firm will to support her.

"good."

Yakumo nodded in response.

The raindrops in the sky became denser. The two of them were wearing heavy cloaks, but they still couldn't stop the intrusion of the cold. When their feet stepped on the water, they splashed half a meter high... and layered broken ripples, just like on the endless mirror lake.

Go on your way.

"It needs to be faster." Tsunade quickened her pace again.

Tsunade's back swayed a little, and the world in front of her became dark and even crumbling, as if the world was gradually breaking and withering.

Suddenly, Yakumo put his hand on Tsunade's back, and a blue ball of light enveloped her entirely. The pure energy nourished the withered and overdrawn cells in her body.

In Tsunade's eyes, the world in the darkness was reassembled, warm and powerful power surged through the body, every cell was glowing with vitality, the body became full and powerful...the legs were transformed from heavy to light.

"Swish, swish, swish."

The speed of the two of them became faster...about two meters of water splashed where their feet stepped, and even left afterimages behind them.

Early the next morning, the two rushed to Yuyin Village.

Yakumo immediately noticed Jiraiya's aura, and the aura was intact. It seemed that Tsunade's premonition was not confirmed.

The tallest iron tower in Yuyin Village is the current stronghold of the Akatsuki organization. From bottom to top, there are the residences of ordinary members and core members, and above that are the residences of cadres and the large meeting platform.

The private house that originally belonged to Sansho Hanzo was renovated by the Akatsuki organization, and there were many deadly and effective traps in the stairs and passages. However, the murderer sneaked in without anyone noticing and evacuated perfectly.

Xiao Nan lit a fire on the large conference platform and baked marinated chicken wings. The color was golden... and the aroma was tempting.

That is the food that Yakumo remembers.

Next to her were Nagato Uzumaki with bandages around his eyes and Jiraiya spitting out chicken bones. The atmosphere between the three seemed particularly harmonious.

Suddenly, Tsunade sat next to Jiraiya with a pale face, her eyes were a little fierce, she pulled Jiraiya's collar and asked.

"I contacted you through Slug yesterday...why didn't you reply?"

"Forehead……"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, unable to understand Tsunade's anger. He had experienced such situations of losing contact in the past, but he had never seen Tsunade so angry.

"I drank too much yesterday...I was sleeping."

"you…"

Tsunade was about to punch hard, but she collapsed to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Jiraiya immediately became extremely nervous.

"I have been driving hard for 24 hours straight, and my body is exhausted."

Yakumo said, and at the same time, he skillfully took the roasted chicken wings off the iron fork, put them in his mouth and started to nibble on them.

"this…"

"I dreamed that you died the day before yesterday, but you lost contact the next day?"

Tsunade said harshly, taking out the marinated dried meat directly from the storage scroll and chewing it. The reason for the paleness on her face was mainly due to physical exhaustion. She only needed a lot of food supplements... and she would be able to return to normal after another sleep.

Logically speaking...she wasn't so frightened at first, mainly because a few things happened too coincidental, from nightmares to Jiraiya's loss of contact, and finally to the inexplicable attack on Uzumaki Nagato.

The three things linked together are very likely to directly lead to Jiraiya's death. This is the real reason for Tsunade's fear. That force can take the reincarnation eye from the eye socket of Uzumaki Nagato, and naturally it can also kill him.

Come.

"I didn't expect you to care about me so much, Tsunade..."

Jiraiya lowered his head and muttered, saying something nutritious.

Tsunade's eyes widened when she heard this, and her unclenched fists clenched again.

"How's the situation with Nagato?"

Yakumo gnawed on the chicken wings, no longer paying attention to the pull of the two enemies, and focused on the victim of this incident.

"Well... to be honest, after I lost my reincarnation eye for some reason, my body became extremely relaxed and my weight loss stopped." Uzumaki Nagato said after thinking for a few seconds.

Although Uzumaki Nagato's body at this time was slender, he looked healthy overall, and he obviously did not use the power of the Rinnegan too much.

Uzumaki Nagato is essentially a hotbed for cultivating the samsara eye. Losing the samsara eye at this time is equivalent to losing a huge burden, and it will naturally become easier.

"I hope Yakumo-sama can recreate my eyes."

Uzumaki Nagato lowered his head and asked in the direction of Yakumo. Konan next to him also cast a somewhat nervous look at this moment.

After all, standing in front of them is no longer the gentle medical ninja before, but the new god of the ninja world!

"Your problem is actually not a big one. You can use life cells to cultivate brand new eyes, but there is no guarantee that the eyes you cultivate will be reincarnation eyes."

"This master said it, I understand it."

Yakumo nodded.

Konoha's life cell technology is not a secret in the ninja world. Hatake Sakumo sent Tsunade during this trip to treat Uzumaki Nagato and repair the relationship between the two villages.

In addition, Yakumo was sent to find the person behind the scenes.

Yakumo stood up and washed off the oil stains on his hands, took out the petri dish from the storage scroll, and used a syringe to extract some of Uzumaki Nagato's blood.

His movements are relaxed and freehand, like sketching a work of art.

Mix the blood and life cells on the culture dish, and then use the life master to shape and catalyze the cell tissue.

Ten minutes later, brand new eyes emerged from the culture fluid.

Yakumo approached Uzumaki Nagato and lifted the gauze... The eyelids under the gauze were sunken inward, with some coagulated blood and healed wounds around them.

After a few minutes, the installation is complete.

Under the influence of life control, the nerves and blood vessels were perfectly connected without any training. It only took a few minutes for Uzumaki Nagato to see the light again.

Under the influence of extraordinary power, this kind of transplantation simply goes against biological science, and there is no need to consider hygienic conditions and rejection at all.

"Yakumo, thank you." Xiaonan was a little surprised.

Yakumo wiped the non-existent sweat on his face, discarded some of the tools he had just used, and received the storage scroll that could be reused.

"Let's go, take me to see the crime scene."

"Crime scene?"

Yakumo forgot that this was not in Ke Xue's world.

"Where your eyes were taken out."

"Oh, okay."

Uzumaki Nagato stood up, and the new eyes in his eye sockets kept turning to observe the surrounding situation. This was as he was adapting to the new world, but soon his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"It is normal for the vision to be less clear than the samsara eye."

"But...the gap is huge."

Yakumo patted Uzumaki Nagato on the shoulder.

"Young man, you have to learn to adapt."

"ha?"

The place where Uzumaki Nagato's accident happened is the study room of the leader of the Akatsuki organization, located two floors below the large conference platform. Next to it are the bedrooms of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

Even though Yahiko is dead now, his bedroom has not been banned. Konan and Nagato will occasionally lie on Yahiko's bed and miss their departed friend.

The three of them came to the study, and Yakumo's eyes suddenly became serious. He scanned everything in the room, in order from the inside to the outside...

The decoration here still maintains the same decoration as when Yahiko was alive.

There is a huge wooden desk, with mountains of various documents on both sides, some of which are already damp, some shabby wooden chairs, and dozens of books with different contents. Time seems to go back...

Yakumo saw the righteous boy who loved life again.

"People can't always live in the past." Yakumo said.

But Konan and Uzumaki Nagato didn't react at all.

Yahiko is the past that they can't let go of...

Yakumo carefully observed the dried blood stains on the wooden chair and the irregularly scattered documents, but could not find any clues.

According to Nagato's description, at that time, he was writing furiously in his study when he suddenly felt that the chakra all over his body was like solidified amber and could not be mobilized, and he became so mentally exhausted that he could not even lift his arms or call out for help.

The door to the study room was pushed open from the outside, and the mysterious man wearing a blue mask took away the Samsara Eye without hesitation. There was no response from the mechanisms in the surrounding passages.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he regained his strength and called out to Xiaonan.

"A poison targeting the Kage level... there is no triggering mechanism, the Sharingan."

Yakumo gradually connects the recent events in the ninja world. Although the Akatsuki organization's defense mechanism is exquisite, it cannot compare with Sunagakure Village... and poison is also a characteristic of the Sunagakure Village puppet master's battle.

"Could it be that...Uchiha Tsuru and Ebizo both belong to the same organization?"

When this thought emerged, it completely took root in Yakumo's heart and could no longer be ignored, and even intensified to form a towering tree.

If there is an organization that uses Kage-level strength as its threshold and serves Madara Uchiha, then you can imagine what big things this organization intends to do.

This is simply a replica of the Akatsuki organization.

"Want to test it out?"

Yakumo was a little hesitant. After all, his original plan was to wait until the beginning of January, after the Wood Release Secret Code was upgraded... before provoking Uchiha Madara.

"Don't be in a hurry, everything needs to be stable."

For now, he has no reason to fight with Uchiha Madara.

After a brief observation, Yakumo did not channel the milk ball for follow-up investigation, but turned around and left the bedroom.

Yakumo returned to the platform. At this time, Tsunade had taken off the outer armor, revealing her proud fiery curves.

Jiraiya was next to Tsunade...the two were chatting happily, and it could be seen that Jiraiya's unremitting efforts had eliminated Tsunade's anger.

"I'm going to Amegakure Village for a walk." Yakumo said.

He turned around and jumped off the platform. Raindrops fell from a high altitude and walked side by side with Yakumo. At a position of five meters above the ground, Yakumo mobilized the wind chakra to form a waterspout to unload the force and landed smoothly.

This is not the first time he has come to Yuyin Village.

The entire village is like a castle formed by countless towers connected together. The area and height of the towers represent the strength and status of the owner.

The raindrops are dense, but Yuyin Village is still empty and quiet.

The rain here is the best barrier. Every person walking alone in the rain is in a completely different world. The memories of the past flash back in Yakumo's mind like a revolving lantern.

A few minutes later, Yakumo found the original hotel.

He once planned to assassinate Danzo here, and at that time... Uzumaki Rina was his eye on Bai Zetsu.

Now the hotel is still doing a booming business, and the lobby on the third floor is full of pedestrians wearing ponchos.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged boss did not recognize Yakumo.

After simply eating the special delicacies of Amegakure Village, Yakumo reintegrated into the rain curtain and stretched out his right hand... The mist spread outward against the water, like a loyal and invisible guard.

After one minute and ten seconds, the entire Yuyin Village was finally enveloped. Under the cover of the rain, these condensed mist was inconspicuous.

"One...three...five...twenty-three White Jue?"

Obviously, Amegakure Village is still under the surveillance of Uchiha Madara. The mist that covered the entire Amegakure Village began to retract with Yakumo's wave of his hand until it completely dissipated.

Only then did he choose a direction and return to the Akatsuki organization's stronghold.

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket.
