Konoha's task master

During this period, the ninja world fell into a rare calm.

Although the three major ninja villages have united, they have never decided on a specific time to kill Uchiha Madara.

The most important thing is that no one can find the traces of Uchiha Madara, so naturally it is impossible to determine the specific encirclement and suppression plan.

During this time, Yakumo continued to fly skillfully.

At the end of May, Yakumo finally mastered flying completely and proficiently.

And Yakumo noticed the changes in the game's personal panel.

The original age column is changed to lifespan.

This entry should have appeared after the physical attribute breakthrough, but Yakumo did not notice the subtle changes at that time.

Lifespan:14/278

This entry is very simple and crude. The former represents his age, and the latter represents the theoretical life limit.

Breaking through the limits in terms of physical attributes, it is true that Yakumo's lifespan is far beyond that of ordinary ninjas, but this length makes him a little disappointed. Although two hundred and seventy-eight years is a long time, it cannot represent longevity.

In June, game copy extraction permissions will be reset.

Yakumo has not yet used the permission this year.

That night, Yakumo took a shower and changed clothes, planning to draw a copy tonight.

In his plan, after June paid homage to his parents, he went out to find Orochimaru and kill him again.

Burn incense to calm your mind.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he waved his hand to open the system extraction interface.

[Extract copy] [Enter copy]

"Tai Shang Laojun has urgently fulfilled his wishes."

Yakumo taps to extract a copy.

〖Tip: Players use dungeons to extract privileges.〗

A simple roulette wheel emerged from the virtual space, and Yakumo made a quick choice in front of his eyes. During this period, three kinds of light spots, green, blue, and gold, rotated rapidly.

Until the pointer made of amethyst slowly stopped.

A touch of blue comes into view.

"It's a pity...it's not gold. Fortunately, it's not the bottom green."

〖Congratulations to the player for obtaining the copy: Dragon Lord〗

〖Copy Type: Speed ​​Pass〗

Next is a series of game system prompts, which roughly means that players cannot obtain any skills, treasures, or inheritance from the game copy.

Of course, you will be rewarded for completing the dungeon tasks.

An additional restriction is that weapons of mass destruction are prohibited in this copy.

Yakumo is no stranger to this copy.

A few years ago, he had cleared a part of this series of dungeons and killed the King of Earth and Mountain in the subway.

Yakumo began to look at the detailed instructions of the mission.

〖Series: Dragon Lord〗

〖Quick Kill, White King Herzog〗

〖Task 1: Within sixty minutes, kill the White King Herzog to obtain a master-level breakthrough scroll.〗

〖Task 2: Within thirty minutes, kill the White King Herzog to obtain a Taoist level breakthrough scroll.〗

〖Task 3: Within ten minutes, kill the White King Herzog to gain six free attribute points.〗

Yakumo waved his hand to close the panel.

Thinking about possible ways to complete the task in his mind, he had seen the ending of Long San, and naturally knew clearly how powerful Herzog was in stealing the White King's power.

Herzog can mobilize the elemental power between heaven and earth.

If the battle is in the air, it will be a bit more difficult.

It is best to kill in the red well using wood escape combined with sword skills.

According to the novel's description, Herzog's IQ is extremely high.

While controlling the eight Sheqi families, he secretly controlled the fierce ghosts, and secretly controlled the two to fight against each other. Tragedies one after another were born under his design.

And... Eri Uesugi, who made Yakumo very upset.

His character is very vicious, cunning, cruel, disgusting, and inhumane. He is pure and extremely evil. He is fundamentally different from Fenrir, who has a low IQ in the subway.

If he loses... Herzog will most likely choose to escape. In that case, he will not be able to complete the task of slaying the dragon within ten minutes.

"You still have to plan carefully."

Yakumo put out the sandalwood and stood up.

Since the game system gave him the opportunity to punish the devil with his own hands, Yakumo naturally made him fall into the mud when he reached the top of the cloud.

Yakumo lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, go to Konoha Hospital.

Based on Orochimaru's research, Yakumo plans to create a poison that targets the terrible resilience of the first generation of dragons, and strives to be simple and easy to use.

In fact, medical treatment and toxin production are inseparable.

For example... Elder Chiyo, the strongest medical ninjutsu expert in Sunagakure Village, is a famous master of poison techniques in the ninja world.

Yakumo started researching as soon as he set a goal, and in his memory, Orochimaru had already studied similar poisons. However, he later encountered problems in the synthesis of toxins that were difficult to overcome, so he changed his methods and started studying snake venom.

According to Orochimaru's records, Yakumo could easily prepare two basic toxins.

One of the colors, light blue, can prevent wound healing...essentially slowing down the rate of cell division, while the other is colorless and transparent and can destroy cells at the cellular level.

It's a pity that Yakumo doesn't have dragon blood in his hands. Otherwise, if he prepares a poison at the genetic level, he will most likely be able to complete the task easily.

In the blink of an eye...a day passed.

Yakumo failed several times and finally succeeded.

Next...just testing and assembly to get into the replica.

In early June, Yakumo went to the flower shop of the Yamanaka Clan to order flowers.

In a few days it will be my parents’ memorial day.

Traveling through the past few years, no matter what the circumstances, Yakumo will never miss his parents' memorial day. It is not a formality... more like a certain belief.

Every time, after leaving Konoha Cemetery.

Yakumo's mind will become more peaceful than ever before, and he will be able to set goals for himself to work hard for more clearly, and then complete them in one year.

On the other hand, the toxin that had plagued Orochimaru for months had been perfectly manufactured by Yakumo. It was colorless and odorless and very convenient to use, but it was extremely volatile and could easily affect the user.

Yakumo could only work overtime to research the antidote, but after several studies, he suddenly discovered that this poison was indeed simple and easy to use, but there was no cure.

Yakumo had to think of another way.

In particular, this fused venom is extremely volatile due to its highly volatile nature, making it extremely difficult to store...

It is currently difficult for Konoha's technology to produce a container that meets the requirements.

After several failures, Yakumo finally chose to give up.

The time has come to June 3rd.

Today, Yakumo asked Reiko Aoyama for a day off.

In the early morning, Yakumo went to Konoha Cemetery with two bouquets of flowers.

It’s still the same carnations and phalaenopsis.

The air is quite fresh, not too hot, especially because it rained in the early morning, and the grass on both sides of the road was full of water drops.

Yakumo had many companions on the road...

Not far away, there are several new subdivisions on the hillside.

At ten o'clock in the morning that day, Yakumo left from the hillside and set his New Year's goals on the way back.

First, upgrade the Wooden Escape Codex to the Taoist level.

Second, confirm whether Orochimaru is alive.

Just at this moment, a prompt from the game system popped up.

〖Ding dong.〗

〖Congratulations to the player for triggering the annual mission.〗

〖Destroyer.〗

On the gravel road at the foot of the mountain, Yakumo stopped subconsciously.

Browse the game tips.

〖Annual Mission·Destroyer〗

"Mission requirement: Destroy the mysterious organization that took away the Eye of Samsara."

"Task reward: five free attribute points."

"Additional reward: Daohua Scroll."

"Score SS or above, additional reward: Eternal Fragments."

"Phew, it looks like we're going to be busy this year."

Yakumo shook his head and laughed. It would be very difficult for the mysterious force to force back Madara Uchiha. If he wanted to be sure of its complete destruction, he would have to wait until the Wooden Secret Code was upgraded to the Taoist level.

"There are still copies that need to be resolved..."

"Whoa." Anbu in black appeared in front of Yakumo, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time.

The Hokage's instructions...don't disturb Yakumo-sama's memorial service.

"I'll go right away."

Yakumo said directly, and his figure immediately disappeared on the spot.

Hatake Sakumo knew that today was a special day, but he still sent ANBU to look for it. Obviously something huge had happened and Yakumo needed to know.

Half a minute later, Yakumo arrived at the Hokage Building.

In his perception, there were quite familiar chakra fluctuations in the office upstairs.

But...that person shouldn't be in the office.

Yakumo pushed the door open and walked into the office.

Uchiha Fugaku and Sarutobi Hiruzen were leaning on the sofa, and Hatake Sakumo was sitting upright on the office chair, and the atmosphere was slightly quiet.

Among the few people, the person standing is Uchiha Henyan.

"Hey, isn't he dead?" Yakumo asked subconsciously.

"Yeah, that's right, I saw him burned to ashes with my own eyes."

Uchiha Fugaku's dull answer showed that it was obviously difficult to accept the news that Uchiha Tsunei had come back from the dead.

In the middle of the group of people, Uchiha Henyan, who was standing obediently, suddenly turned around and looked at Yakumo, who had just entered the door, with a complicated expression.

There was a mixture of anger and fear in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Yakumo asked subconsciously.

"Uchiha Henyan said that you attacked and killed him that night."

Hatake Sakumo heard this and explained.

"I didn't!" Yakumo argued loudly, thinking quickly in his mind.

"That's what I saw with my own eyes!"

Uchiha Henyan said with some annoyance.

Several people in the office focused their attention on Yakumo, especially the look in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes...looking like a crowd eating melons.

This old guy is watching a show!

"Although I feel unhappy with you, after all, we both belong to Konoha, and I will definitely not harm your life because of this kind of thing."

Yakumo took a few steps forward and explained sincerely, but he was sure that such words could not convince Uchiha Henen.

Because in his perception... Yakumo can clearly confirm that Uchiha Henen is not lying.

In other words...the attacker did commit the crime in the image of Yakumo.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, expressing his willingness to believe Yakumo.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything. He still looked like a crowd, with a smile on his face. He was obviously happy that Yakumo was embarrassed.

"You can let the people of the Yamanaka tribe check my memory... to confirm whether I am lying. If I am really lying and framed, then I am willing to pay the price with my life!" Uchiha Hengyan's eyes turned red... he spoke firmly.

"Maybe that person is pretending to be me to frame me."

Yakumo continued to explain sincerely.

"Is it possible that the attackers could have predicted that I would be resurrected?"

Uchiha Henyan asked.

"..." Yakumo remained silent for a moment and insisted.

"I really didn't do this, it was framed."

"I saw it with my own eyes, it was you!!"

Uchiha Hengyan refused to give an inch and stared at Yakumo closely.

Sakumo Hatake, who was behind the desk, raised his right hand.

Uchiha Henen immediately booed.

"Chief Fugaku, can you confirm that Uchiha Henen was indeed cremated and buried in the Uchiha clan's cemetery?"

"I can confirm that the person being cremated is Uchiha Henen."

Hatake Sakumo heard this and continued to ask questions.

"How did you come back to life?"

"I don't know. When I opened my eyes, I was already near Konoha."

Uchiha Henen replied with a look of memory on his face.

"If the person who framed me expected that Uchiha Henen would be resurrected and formed an impeccable closed loop through his testimony, then the person who framed me and the person who was resurrected may belong to the same force."

Yakumo figured out the answer in his mind.

If he is resurrected with the Samsara Eye, he needs to cooperate with the Reincarnation of the Earth to let the cremated Uchiha Henen have a body.

There are not many ninjas in the ninja world who can master the reincarnation of the dirty land...

At this time, there should be only Orochimaru!

"How is this possible?" Uchiha Henyan asked.

"Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean it's impossible." Yakumo's tone was very firm.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Yakumo and asked.

"Have you identified the real culprit behind the scenes?"

"If my prediction is correct...it should be Orochimaru."

Everyone was shocked. Only Sarutobi Hiruzen looked thoughtful. After all, he was the one who provided the news that Orochimaru was still alive.

Hatake Sakumo picked up the water glass and took a sip...and continued to ask.

"Hasn't Orochimaru been killed by your own hands?"

"After the last meeting, the Third Master told me that Orochimaru is used to using Earth Release Ninjutsu to conceal the scene of battles."

"This can lead to a hypothesis or guess... Orochimaru is still alive and has mastered the Samsara Eye..."

"It is estimated... that only the eyes of the legendary Immortal of Six Paths can have the ability to resurrect people."

Yakumo continued to explain.

"Where's the evidence? Who knows if you just made it up."

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked rhetorically.

"But this conjecture is very reasonable, isn't it? Moreover, the reason why Uchiha Tsuru joined the mysterious organization now has the answer... that is to resurrect the dead Uchiha Henen."

When Yakumo's explanation came out, even Uchiha Henen lowered his head and thought.

Originally he firmly believed that all this was Yakumo's doing, but now he felt a little more hesitant in his heart.

Especially...about his missing grandfather.

It was too shocking, but since Uchiha Henen was resurrected, they could more or less accept the news that Orochimaru was still alive.

"I think... the first thing is to determine whether there is a secret hand left by the other party in Uchiha Henyan's body."

"The second thing is to find the mysterious organization. Don't let the great elder Uchiha Tsuru continue to make mistakes!"

In order to prove his innocence, Yakumo could only take the initiative in the meeting.

Although he is not afraid...but he also does not want to bear the reputation of assassinating his former classmate because of a quarrel.

"I think Yakumo-sama's words are reasonable!" Uchiha Fugaku said.

After a while, Hatake Sakumo also nodded.

"So to investigate the mysterious organization...who should be sent there?"

"I'll go and add Jiraiya and Tsunade by the way."

Yakumo said that since it concerns Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade will not delay, and the mysterious organization may also have clues to Yahiko's death.

"If this is the case, how can Konoha's safety be guaranteed?"

"If there is a fight, there is also the art of reverse channeling."

"That's it...then let's leave the meeting!"

Hatake Sakumo waved his hand. Although he was Hokage, he felt deeply helpless many times. Limited by his strength... he could only place his hope on others.
