Konoha's task master

An old clock hangs on the wall, with the hour hand pointing to the twelve marks.

The next second, the second hand moves forward one step.

Yakumo stood up suddenly, his eyes bright and clear.

At this time, midnight has passed and the New Year has arrived.

Konoha forty-sixth year, January 1st.

It has been seven years since he traveled through the ninja world. Now Yakumo has completely adapted to life in this world and has found the skills to live a completely peaceful life.

——Nip all dangers in the cradle.

〖New Year Limited Store〗23:59:12

Yakumo opened the store and without any hesitation, he directly pulled the progress bar and quickly found the master-level breakthrough scroll.

"Buy!"

"Grandmaster Level Breakthrough Scroll" x2

Gold coins: 81600→57600.

With the remaining gold coins, Yakumo has also thought about the props he wants to buy. It is too early to get Taoist scrolls at the moment, and there is no shortage of master-level scrolls... The decision is yours.

"Weapon Essence Stone!"

"Essence Stone" x96

Gold coins: 57600 → 0 pieces.

Shopping completed, New Year's shop...the interface is closed.

As the saying goes, save money for thirty years and spend it in an instant.

Yakumo extracted the Essence Stone from the game interface. Ninety-six stones shimmering with colorful luster were placed on the table, adding a bit of rainbow color to the room. He took out the Demon Subduer from the Glory Sword Box and placed it next to the Essence Stone.

With a thought, weapon strengthening begins...!

This is the first time that Yakumo has used this amount of essence stones to strengthen the demon-slayer. The seven-color energy wraps around the demon-slayer blade like a flowing rainbow.

As time goes by... the colorful energy slowly integrates into the blade. In Yakumo's perception, Fumo becomes more spiritual. It is not to derive the feeling of a weapon spirit, but simply to increase spirituality.

Moreover, the various textures on the blade blurred and dissipated, and the original blue five-pointed star and bloody hand patterns faded away, leaving only blue and two thin red lines on the Demon-Conquering Knife extending from the tandem to the blade.

The blue one represents breaking spells, and the red one represents blood-sucking.

The former is an augmentation entry, and the latter is an enchantment gem.

After a few minutes, the strengthening is completed.

Yakumo felt more comfortable holding the demon in his hand. The silver-white blade was like an extension of his body. With a simple wave of the blade, the silver light scattered, making the dark bedroom extra bright.

〖Conquer the Demon〗

Weapon type: Long knife (75.3 cm)

Increase: 271% "Increase"

〖Amplification entry·Broken law〗

〖Breaking: Increases 15% destructive power against energy defense.〗

[Enchanting: Praise of Blood Shadows]

〖Praise of Blood Shadow: When the player is injured and on the verge of death, a blood lock is forced to be triggered, and the blood-sucking ratio is increased to 80% in the next three seconds. The damage caused during this period will be converted into energy in equal proportion.

,heal the player's body.〗

Yakumo mobilized chakra to flow into the weapon, and the demon-suppressing blade suddenly turned into bright gold, and golden arcs danced on the blade.

This is a terrifying increase of 2.7 times.

If you add the condensed and pure slashing of the Extreme Blade Slash, and the five times the explosion when stacking the strength... Who in the ninja world today can block a sword?

After a while, Yakumo collected the demons, and the improvement of the Wood Release Secret Code was the highlight of the night. The main body got under the bed.

The shadow clone in the corner opened its eyes and became alert.

At this time, Yakumo possesses twelve Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls.

"call…"

Yakumo exhaled to adjust his somewhat heavy breathing, calming down the excited blood in his heart. His mind gradually became clear, and there were no unnecessary distractions in his eyes.

〖personal skills〗

initiative:

Master of Wood Escape Codex 3200/3200 "Breakthrough"

Yakumo moved his fingers slightly, tapping lightly to break through.

〖Tip: This process is irreversible and requires the consumption of twelve Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls. The Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll is very valuable, so players should consider it carefully.〗

"Yes or no"

Without hesitation, Yakumo clicked "Yes"!

With a bang, Yakumo fainted.

His spiritual body separated from his body, and the light and shadow in front of his eyes twisted, and he came to the green planet where he once broke through to the master level in the Wood Escape Secret Code.

The soul was broken into four parts, and the four plant kings on the planet were resurrected, each occupying the four major directions on the continent.

They did not immediately break out into a war, but instead tried to accumulate strength as much as possible.

The ground around the four plant kings is gradually deserting. This is because nutrients and water are completely absorbed, and the vegetation dies...the big trees fall over, and the weeds become yellow and weathered...

Only the four kings of plants become more and more prosperous as time goes by.

The huge tree canopy stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and the dense leaves absorb almost all the light and heat. The temperature of the desert under the canopy continues to drop.

Life on the entire planet has become extinct.

Half asleep and half awake, hundreds of years have passed, and Yakumo's spiritual body is floating in the virtual space, quietly waiting for the final holy war.

Until the momentum of the four plant kings reached its peak, the four big trees reacted at the same moment...the sand and soil poured in, and the dust splashed hundreds of meters away.

The four plant kings began to march towards the center of the continent, their thick root systems breaking out of the ground and walking like snakes.

Finally, half a year later...a melee broke out between four big trees.

Leaves, vines, roots, thorns, stings, branches...

The wars between plants are done in every possible way, but the gap between the four is not big, and it is difficult to distinguish them. After all, they each possess about 25% of Yakumo's soul power.

These four big trees each have their own characteristics. Just when Yakumo thought that this fight would last for a long time, the spiritual body in the virtual space suddenly raised its head.

On the other side of the distant galaxy, a green comet is flying at an extremely fast speed. It is a shooting star wrapped in green vines.

On that comet, Yakumo noticed a familiar aura, and this aura was more powerful than the four plant kings.

More than ten years later, the four kings on the planet are still fighting each other, but the comet on the other side of the galaxy has broken through the atmosphere and crashed towards the center of the continent.

The four plant kings immediately noticed the enemy's arrival, but instead of resisting, the huge tree trunks turned yellow, the leaves turned into fly ash, and the huge vitality rushed to the roots.

This is survival through docking.

The enemy is so powerful that they give up resistance.

The comet hit the continent, countless vines grew and spread, swallowing the life of the entire planet, and the sea of ​​blood-red flowers gradually spread outward.

"Pray, pray, pray, pray!!"

A blood-red giant tree sprouted from the ground, and the breath of the four plant kings was completely swallowed up in a few seconds...

The bloody ancient tree spreads tens of thousands of meters upwards, and the center of the huge canopy...

Flowers breed and grow.

The strong fragrance spreads, and the delicate red flowers in the canopy have not yet bloomed, but the fragrance has spread all over the planet.

That bloody giant tree fused with Yakumo's entire soul, and at the same time... it became the only ninjutsu derived from the Grandmaster level of the Wooden Secret Code.

A red bead appeared in front of Yakumo's spiritual body. It was crystal clear, round and full, and shone with an extremely eerie red light.

Ding, the round beads melt into the spiritual body, just like spring water dispersing to nourish and quickly nourish the spirit. At the same time, many memories appear in the mind. This is a more powerful and streamlined Wood Escape secret code.

The planet beneath his feet has turned blood red.

The light and shadow suddenly turned, and Yakumo's spirit gradually returned to its original form.

The originally green planet was withering rapidly, and all its vitality was swallowed up by the giant red trees. The fiery red flowers spread into the void space under the influence of the vines, and the entire starry sky resounded with unknown murmurs.

"Pray, pray, pray, pray..."

After Yakumo's spirit returned, he did not get up immediately, but digested the memories rolling in his mind, which were divided into two parts.

The first is to strengthen and streamline the Wooden Release Ninjutsu. In the future, when Yakumo uses the Wooden Release Secret Book, he will not only be able to use it without seals, but also reduce part of his chakra consumption.

Moreover, the hardness, toughness, and vitality of the plants created by Wood Release have been greatly improved. Several special ninjutsu have the characteristics and sealing properties of suppressing the chakra of tailed beasts.

The second is to debut more brand new ninjutsu.

Mudun·The Ancient Blood Jade Tree has arrived.

This skill is very powerful, and is better in quality than the plants made by Mudun. However, in terms of chakra consumption... it even surpasses the True Thousand Hands. Topped with Buddha Transformation, it can be said to be another killer move of Yakumo.

Half an hour later, Yakumo opened his eyes. All the memories in his mind had been consumed, and he had mastered many changes in the Wooden Secret Code.

at this time…

〖personal skills〗

initiative:

Master of the Wooden Escape Codex 0/3800 "Acceleration"

"Grandmaster: Unprinted spellcasting, consumption reduction, strength enhancement."

"Use the Wooden Escape Codex to strengthen your privileges."

〖Tips: This privilege is partially dangerous, players are advised to be prepared for protection, the transmission is about to begin...ten, nine, eight, seven...〗

"What?"

"dangerous?"

"Wait...I...knock!"

Touching, Yakumo felt that his body was being broken...but there was another magical energy that protected his body from being torn apart. The unrivaled power around him was...the torrent of space, and he was being transported between the universes.

Yakumo's vision returned to clear vision, and his body was intact, as if the feeling of being cut... was just his illusion. What came into view was an extremely tall bloody giant tree, and he was standing above the giant bloody flower.

This is...the planet where the Wooden Escape Secret Code has broken through to the Grandmaster level. No...the planet has been completely devoured. Only the giant blood-colored tree is left standing in the starry sky, but its root system has extended to other star fields, constantly devouring it.

This is Yakumo's indescribable horror.

The petals slowly unfolded, and a strong sense of oppression acted on the body. Every cell was trembling and fearful, and even the soul seemed to be gradually freezing in front of this force.

Yakumo's face turned pale.

As the petals slowly unfolded, he felt more and more... that the game system was planning to kill him, and that the creature in the center of the petals had already surpassed the Six Paths in terms of combat power... which was a level he couldn't understand.

"Pray... pray, pray..."

Chaotic murmurs sounded in the virtual space.

Yakumo suddenly found that he had established a connection with the creatures in front of him.

This is a very strange intuition. Even the frozen soul comes back to life, and the terrifying pressure gradually dissipates.

There was a flash of light and shadow, and Yakumo's figure disappeared.

His purpose of coming here has been achieved and he has benefited from this unknown strong man. For some reason, this strange creature in front of him has a smell that he is quite familiar with.

At this time, the giant flower is in full bloom.

Lying in the center of the flower was a naked and stunningly beautiful woman, her green eyes looking at the position where Yakumo was just now, with a few alluring blushes appearing on her face.

"After five hundred epochs, I finally found you..."

"…Owner."

Yakumo opened his eyes and looked at the back of his hand.

There, in scarlet color, the ancient Chinese character "prayer" is engraved.

Their eyes converged, and the game prompts appeared in front of them.

〖Mysterious protection, saint’s blessing.〗

〖Congratulations to the player for obtaining the blessing mark of the universe overlord Qi.〗

Yakumo quickly grasped the value of this mark. With the addition of this mark, the power of the Wooden Secret Code increased by 30%, but the chakra consumption was reduced by two levels, and there were no side effects.

This is the improvement brought about by enhanced privileges, but it is not just that. Judging from the hints left in the mark, when his strength reaches the six levels, this mark will usher in an evolution.

"Disappear, disappear..."

Yakumo thought silently in his heart, and the blood-colored mark gradually faded, until it completely disappeared from the skin. The flesh and blood hidden in the palm of his hand could feel that the vigorous life breath of the mark still existed.

Vines grow from the steel in the corner.

A mark reappeared on the back of Yakumo's hand, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye. After several repetitions, it was confirmed that this mark would automatically reappear when using the Wooden Release Codex.

In Yakumo's view, this enhanced privilege is a bit ridiculous. The game system only bears the cost of the round-trip transmission. Obtaining the blessing mark depends entirely on one's own luck.

Yakumo couldn't be sure whether the mysterious strongman's blessing was good or bad, but he now had some confidence to fight against Uchiha Madara.

At this point...all improvements are completed.

The sky in Amegakure Village was still dark, and the wall clock on the wall already showed the arrival of a new day. Yakumo stretched his waist on the bed, stood up, and walked to the canteen of the Akatsuki organization.

Everything is ready, but a steady hand is still needed.

Around the Akatsuki organization, the number of White Zetsu has become scarce. When Uzumaki Nagato was taken away from the Rinnegan Eye, he also lost the qualification to be cared about by Uchiha Madara.

Bai Zetsu, who is still staying in Amegakure Village, is mainly responsible for monitoring the movements of Yakumo, Tsunade, and Jiraiya. After all, the three of them together have almost the level of combat ability to destroy a ninja village.

Had a simple breakfast in the cafeteria.

Yakumo returned to the bedroom and took out the scroll and started writing. According to his understanding of the original plot, Uchiha Madara was probably...in the cave underground in the Land of Grass at this time.

Of course there are other possibilities.

After all, there was a butterfly like him in the ninja world that caused a huge storm, so it was reasonable for Uchiha Madara's location to change.

But you can take a gamble.

Yakumo wrote quickly, weighing the pros and cons to Hatake Sakumo in the scroll, analyzing the enemy's strength and weakness, and explaining the inexplicable surveillance around him.

If we sum it up, we can use two words to describe it.

"Request support!"

Yakumo deeply feels that the enemy is powerful and he needs more and stronger helpers.

This time, Namikaze Minato must come out.

Namikaze Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, which is one of the ninjutsus that have been classified as god-level. The use of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu can suppress several shadow-level strong men.

Namikaze Minato couldn't assassinate a strong man like Uchiha Madara.

But it is an all-around support. No matter how bad it is... once the corpse seal is released... it can still sweep away people except Uchiha Madara.

"After defeating the boss this time, I can go home and retire with peace of mind!"

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket.
