Konoha's task master

Through Yoshihisa Uzumaki's interpretation, Yakumo discovered that the passages that he could not understand before actually contained another layer of meaning.

In the end, Uzumaki Yoshijuu came to the conclusion that the sealing technique of Yin Yang Seal... only exists in theory, the learning conditions are too hard, the person who created this ninjutsu is too ambitious, and it is extremely difficult to achieve..."

Yakumo thought thoughtfully, using the power of yin and yang to seal all things is equivalent to the sealing technique...Earth Explosion Sky Star?

And the power of yin and yang refers to Yin Dun and Yang Dun, or the power of creation after the fusion of the two...

The art of creating everything from nothing and giving it life.

——Yin Yang Escape.

The former only requires Yang Escape and Yin Escape chakra to be abundant to a certain extent before you can try it, while the latter requires reaching the level of the Six Paths Sage.

"What are you thinking about?"

Masako Mori poked Yakumo a few times with her hand.

"Nothing...thinking about how to cure you."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

A few people chatted for a while, and Yakumo said goodbye.

"Masako Mori, give Yakumo a send." Keiji Mori stood up and looked extremely enthusiastic. Yakumo could understand the change in his mind. He had gone from being an unpopular pig to being the only life-saving straw.

"You go back."

Outside the door, Yakumo whispered to Masako Mori.

"It's okay. I'll give it to you."

Masako Mori shook her head, her expression a little complicated.

Until she arrived at the door of Yakumo's house, Masako Mori leaned close to Yakumo's ear and whispered, as if she was going to tell the biggest secret in the world, as if demons and monsters were looking around in the shadows and wanted to eavesdrop on this secret, but she just wanted to tell her

Listen to Yakumo.

"Actually, you never owe me anything. There is no need to regard saving me as your responsibility and goal. My father has put a lot of pressure on you... but I hope you are healthy, happy, and happy... live for yourself.

.”

After Masako Mori finished speaking, she immediately left.

"Do you want me to see you off?" Yakumo asked.

"Of course not."

Looking at Masako Mori's back, Yakumo smiled.

"Healing you was never a burden...it was a choice I made."

Yakumo turned around and entered the hospital, took back the clone that was practicing ninjutsu, and after merging the memory... began to carry out today's mission. Until near the early morning, when Yakumo was about to go to bed, he once again separated into six shadow clones to practice the earth escape and hardening technique.

Tonight there are few lights in Konoha and there is no moon in the sky.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a dozen men in black, under the cover of root ninjas wearing ghost masks, sneaked into Konoha to hide themselves. Under the calm surface, undercurrents with Hatake Kakashi as the core were gathering.

The next day, Yakumo got up and saw Chenyu.

This time it was the real Chenyu, and Yakumo found that he was very close to Shinichi, as if he was a specially trained stand-in.

"This is a letter from the Daimyo to you."

Yakumo unfolded it slowly and started reading quickly. The ninja who accepted the bounty for assassinating Kakashi had already sneaked into Konoha with the cooperation of Genbu, and the letter also contained the retreat route prepared by the bounty ninja.

The fate of these people was determined from the moment they entered the Hidden Leaf Village. It was like a wonderful game of chess, and their lives were just insignificant pawns.

"The daimyo hopes that you can help deal with the bribed bounty jounin, and try not to let this matter involve him. The daimyo also reminds you that there may be a third-party force involved. I hope you can be careful... don't hurt the flag card.

Lord Cassie’s life.”

Chenyu lowered his head, looking very respectful.

He conveyed Shinichi's instructions in a very low voice.

"good."

Yakumo nodded slightly.

After the meal... Yakumo immediately rushed to Hatake's mansion. There was no room for carelessness in Kakashi's matters.

On the way, Yakumo keeps analyzing Shinichi's plan. Shinichi hopes that Hatake Sakumo will completely break with Sarutobi Hiruzen. If Kakashi is safe and the bounty ninja is wiped out, will the two sides really break apart...?

Yakumo is puzzled... to a certain extent, he is not the one playing chess, but he has the power to overturn the game... and he is willing to enter the game... just because he wants to eliminate the threat to Hatake Kakashi as much as possible

.

At Hatake Residence, Yakumo meets Hatake Sakumo.

"Uncle Sakumo, this is Shinichi's message."

Yakumo took out the letter from his arms and handed it out. Hatake Sakumo immediately sat on the sofa in the living room and started reading after taking it.

"What else did he say?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

"He also said... there may be a third-party force involved, so we must be careful to ensure the safety of Hatake Kakashi." Yakumo replied.

On the coffee table are the books that Hatake Sakumo has read during this period. Recently, he likes reading books more and more, as if he has found a treasure that was once ignored.

"What do you think of the current daimyo?"

Hatake Sakumo waved his hand, and the swirling storm gathered in his hands. Finally, he twisted the letter into paper powder and dumped it into the trash can next to the coffee table.

"Extremely smart lunatic?"

"Hey..." Hatake Sakumo sighed.

"What I say next will involve some secrets."

"Just a few days ago, the three uncles of the current daimyo, including their entire family, were silenced by unknown gangsters."

"This matter should be handed over to ANBU for investigation, but...the Third Hokage said that there was no need to investigate and hastily closed the case. Today, the Daimyo agreed to the conditions of the Kingdom of Thunder to export grain at 70% of last year's price."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes became brighter and brighter, with anger burning in them. In his opinion, the behavior of the Third Hokage had violated the will of fire proposed by the First Generation.

"Shinichi made a deal with the Third Hokage?"

Yakumo's mind was spinning. Could this be part of Shinichi's plan to sow discord between Hatake Sakumo and Sarutobi Hiruzen?

"That's right... Yakumo, you are sharper and smarter than I thought... It's just..." Hatake Sakumo's expression was a little gloomy, as if he had thought of something unhappy.

"Uncle Sakumo, could it be...could it be...that you thought I wasn't smart before?" Yakumo exclaimed in a deliberately exaggerated tone.

"How could it be? Of course not..." Hatake Sakumo responded with a helpless smile.

"Hehe... Liven up the atmosphere."

"What on earth is Shinichi going to do?" Yakumo asked.

"He wants to become the last member of the Daimyo clan, which means that if he dies, the Fire Nation will lose its only master. At that time, the city lords of the twenty-three main cities will inevitably compete for the supreme throne."

From Hatake Sakumo's narration, we understand that when a daimyo is assassinated in the country, a successor can be chosen from among the daimyo's descendants.

Even if the offspring are all idiots, you can still choose from older brothers and younger brothers... That way the country will not be in turmoil without a different owner.

But Shinichi used practical actions to eliminate all candidates who might succeed the Daimyo in the future, which meant that he would bear all the security and turmoil of the Fire Country on his shoulders.

"This kind of person is extremely smart and extremely crazy."

Hatake Sakumo fiddled with the tea cup in his hand and commented that he said so much just in the hope that Yakumo could stay away from Shinichi, or be more wary in his heart.

"Do you think...does he hate the Daimyo clan?"

Yakumo suddenly asked.
