Konoha's task master

After Masako Mori left, the smile on Yakumo's face gradually disappeared and turned gloomy...and angry. The boy once again separated two shadow clones in the bedroom and began to practice ninjutsu.

He just wants to grow strong in Konoha in peace, and he doesn't want to attract anyone's attention. Living in such troubled times, all he wants is stability. Even if he has stayed away from trouble as much as possible, tonight still happened.

things.

Yakumo picked up the ninja sword and continued to practice the Hatake Secret Code. It is always right to become stronger at any time.

For a moment just now, he wanted to break the seal and kill Keisuke Shimizu directly, but if he did that, he would have the only way out...

Without a prominent background or a strong backer, the only one I can rely on is myself. I still need to be patient for the time being...but it won't be long.

The next day, Yakumo went out early in the morning and came to the entrance to the Death Forest last time. The words "No Approach" and "Danger" were hung on the fence.

Yakumo used his legs to exert force and easily climbed over the fence several meters high...entering the forest of death.

He plans to complete the monthly task today, so that he will be more confident in facing the storm that may come next.

Ten minutes later, Yakumo had arrived at the location where he had fought the black and white giant bear last month. Weeds had grown back here, especially the trees that had been knocked down... Without the shade of the trees, the sun could shine directly.

Causes weeds to grow more lushly.

Yakumo drew his weapon and advanced vigilantly. His target was the depths of the Death Forest.

The chirping of insects continued, and Yakumo jumped back and forth on the tree trunk as lightly as possible, occasionally stopping to observe the surrounding situation.

At this time, by the small river where we had the last dinner, the huge black and white giant bear opened its eyes, and it smelled the breath of...a good friend.

The giant black and white bear opened its throat and was about to roar, but was afraid of scaring its best friend and held it back.

The giant bear began to run, and the ground shook. Compared to a month ago, its body became larger, its shoulder width had reached two meters, and the hair on its body became smooth and translucent again.

It ran extremely fast and carried wind pressure. The giant bear beat the several-ton wild boar to death with one hand, and then carried it on its shoulders. Compared to a month ago, it became stronger. The giant bear strode towards Yakumo.

s position.

On the other hand, Yakumo felt the familiar vibration of the earth and slowly pulled out the ninja sword on his back. This was a sign of the appearance of the black and white giant bear.

It was able to find Kakashi back then, and it can also find Yakumo today... This intelligent beast has a deep obsession with its enemies, and it is destined to fight until death with its sharp blade unsheathed.

"Boom..." The giant black and white bear broke through the trees, came to Yakumo, and immediately threw the wild boar to the ground.

Standing on the tree trunk, Yakumo could barely see the huge head of the black and white giant bear. It became even bigger like a mountain peak piled in front of him.

"What kind of fight is this... wild boar collision... or is that wild boar its food reserve...?"

Yakumo didn't feel hostility from the giant bear. This was a very magical perception, just like when he saw Keisuke Shimizu, he felt that he was not a good person.

A smile appeared on the giant black and white bear's anthropomorphic face, and then it raised its front paws and made a move that Yakumo was very familiar with.

Get the skewers!

"Do you want to eat barbecue?" Yakumo put away his ninja sword and asked a little tentatively.

The black and white giant bear... nodded.

Maybe... this task can be completed in other ways... Yakumo thought, there is nothing in this world that a barbecue cannot solve... If so, then add two more.

"I can promise you...in exchange you will let me defeat you once." Yakumo put forward his own conditions.

The giant bear nodded almost without hesitation, and then gave Yakumo a provocative look, as if to say, "That's it? I thought you were going to steal my honey...!"

"Then please cooperate with me first."

The giant bear straightened his back and signaled that it was time to start. Yakumo jumped up... clenched his fist and gently hit the giant bear's soft belly.

The black and white giant bear took four steps back, then turned three and a half times on the spot, lying on the ground very skillfully, and let out an almost wailing cry.

This series of actions really made Yakumo a little dazed. He could see that the black and white giant bear was trying his best to act like he was defeated... but it was a little too exaggerated.

"mission completed"

"Ah...?" Is this still the harsh and perverted mission system that he is familiar with...? Could it be that conquest may not only be through force...

Ten minutes later, the giant bear carried the wild boar to the place where the last dinner was held. Yakumo skillfully used a knife to break down the ingredients. On the other side, the giant bear took out dozens of extremely smooth giant bamboo sticks. At this moment... Yakumo was incomparable.

Confirm... The giant bears ate the barbecue they left here last time, and at that time they conquered it and were already in front of the delicious food...

...I am sincerely convinced.

"What a gluttonous guy." Yakumo stretched out his hand and pressed... Taichi's soft belly showed an intoxicated expression.

"So soft...so comfortable..."

White smoke shot straight into the sky. The black and white giant bears did not show any fear in the face of the flames. Yakumo took out the prepared barbecue ingredients from the scroll. Originally, he wanted to taste the taste of the black and white giant bears, but now he ate them with them.

Barbeque... My personal situation is really amazing.

The fresh ingredients are slowly matured under the charcoal fire, and a few drops of oil drip down... The charcoal sparks and creates a rich aroma.

Three minutes later, Yakumo handed the roasted meat to the black and white giant bear. The latter immediately took it and chewed the meat hard, chewing it with a happy expression.

"How about I call you Xiaobai from now on?"

"Ouch, ow, ow..."

The rough meaning can be translated as "Don't disturb me eating meat, you can call me whatever you want."

"Then why don't I call you Xiaohei from now on?"

"Ouch, ow, ow..."

"Or call it Tai Chi...how about that?"

"Ouch, ow, ow..."

Yakumo summoned two shadow clones, and the three figures roasted the meat together. They could barely keep up with Tai Chi's eating speed... Although it was a bit hard, Yakumo felt as peaceful as ever before.

Stay away from disputes and conspiracies.

Living in nature, although Tai Chi is wild and untamable, it is at least simple...and can be easily mastered.

And...it feels great on my tummy.

After a while, Yakumo's body simply lay down on the grass, closing his eyes and experiencing this moment of peace.

"Do you want to fake death to escape?"

At this moment, this idea suddenly popped up in his mind... It was like a wild weed, and it was difficult to contain it.

He no longer lacks Ninjutsu as he did in the beginning. What he lacks now is time, which is to use gold coins to turn those Ninjutsu into magical power.

Tai Chi poked Yakumo with his bear claw, and found that the latter seemed to be asleep, so he simply lay down next to him and fell asleep. After a while, he snored like thunder.

"If you have the chance to enter human time, I will definitely treat you to...the most delicious barbecue." Yakumo patted Tai Chi's soft belly, jumped a few times with his legs and left the river.
