Konoha's task master

Light and shadow twist.

Everyone reappeared on the underground platform in Ryūchi Cave, and the blood-colored rattans that formed the walls seemed to have become denser. During the time that Yakumo left, the trees relied on instinct to grow.

Masako Mori said.

“BBQ!”

“Eat barbecue!”

"I'm going to barbecue q and eat barbecue!"

"Meow~"

The milk ball in Masako Mori's arms immediately shouted, and it seemed that the fat cat was also a little impatient.

Yakumo smiled knowingly. As expected, Masako Mori's foodie persona has not changed.

"We are back and we are disbanded!"

Well, Kakashi urged the key in his hand to disappear. For more than half a year, he missed Hatake Sakumo, so he went home to see his father.

"I'm leaving now. Please let me know when you go on an adventure next time."

Aoyama Reiko said a few simple words, and her farewell was completed.

Whoa, the silver key was injected with chakra and disappeared.

"Master, I also want to eat barbecue."

However, Qianxue, who was worried, did not leave, but expressed his thoughts, which made Yakumo a little strange. It turns out that Qianxue never actively expressed his thoughts, and was like a cold machine that completed the task.

But today...he took the initiative to put forward his own ideas.

"Okay, let's go together." Masako Mori nodded.

"Oh, by the way, since Qianyuki's sword skills have exceeded the master level, even the child's sword skills will be left to you."

Yakumo no longer intends to maintain his persona as a teacher. It took more than ten years of fighting to gain the strength and freedom he has today. He plans to enjoy it for a while before exploring the dungeon.

"okay, I get it."

The worried Qianxue bowed her head obediently. Her pink hair looked very smooth, making Yakumo want to reach out and touch it.

"Ahem, let's go... let's have a barbecue."

Yakumo held the palms of the two of them and moved directly using space. The three of them appeared in a relatively hidden corner of the streets of Konoha.

.......

In the secret box of barbecue q.

The worried Qianxue was wearing a pure white apron. Like an emotionless barbecue machine, she kept picking up the beef and placing it on the baking sheet in front of her. The alluring aroma continued to spread. Masako Mori swallowed her saliva and couldn't wait.

In addition, Yakumo pressed the milk ball that almost ran onto the table. Although the Neptune barbecue was also delicious, he always felt that the taste was much different from the barbecue. Especially since he hadn't eaten it for a long time, he naturally missed it even more.

"Would you like some sake?" Masako Mori suggested.

"OK."

In fact, Yakumo didn't like drinking, but since Masako Mori had this interest, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He simply pressed the bell next to him, and it didn't take long for the service staff in gray to open the door to the box.

"Three bottles of sake."

"Okay, guest, please wait a moment."

The waiter simply bent over and left the box, while Qiangu Qianxue continued to roast the beef dutifully.

"Qianxue, you can eat too, and I'll bake it."

Yakumo put on the apron on the shelf next to him, stood up and started grilling meat.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master."

The worried Qianxue did not refuse, she sat down with a chuckle and started eating the barbecue.

After drinking and eating, several people leaned lazily on the soft cushions while Masako Mori picked her teeth with a toothpick in an imageless manner.

"Are we really going to explore until next year?"

Masako Mori asked. Recently, she has become more and more unwilling to live a peaceful life. She always wants to challenge her limits and often urges Yakumo to explore.

"The water in One Punch Man is very deep, and I don't want any sacrifices."

Yakumo declined rather tactfully. The main reason is that everyone's strength is still unable to compete with those god-level weirdos who stand at the top, let alone the god who froze Saitama.

"Okay." Masako Mori was speechless. Although she was a little disappointed, she still accepted Yakumo's statement.

"Take a rest during this period and hone your fighting ability."

During this period, Masako Mori has been studying the ability of her Samsara Eye. In addition to her regular skills, her exclusive skill is called Reverse Walker. Its function is probably to create a stand-in that takes on everything.

Including...death.

The avatar's recovery ability is slightly stronger than that of the original body. It takes forty-eight hours to regroup after death, which is equivalent to more lives every forty-eight hours. However, it is said that the reverse walker can only replace physical trauma, but only mental trauma.

I can afford half of it.

But it must also be admitted that this is a very strong ability, especially since the substitute also has strong combat effectiveness, and the fighting method is limited to physical skills.

Yougu Qianxue, on the other hand, needs to be proficient in the characteristics of a sword master to continue to hone his own moves. Currently, the only ones he has at his disposal are Death Millstone and Dark Slash.

Although he understood the characteristics of the cycle of life and death, he focused more on studying how to give death to his enemies.

His sword is still so pure...

There is nothing that can be improved about Yakumo's strength. All attributes are at a bottleneck. Improving his physique is a bit of a disadvantage, and the remaining free attribute points have never been used.

"Let's discuss it later?"

Masako Mori asked Qianxue, a worried person.

"good."

"This is the ninja world. If a fight breaks out between the two of you around Konoha, it may turn into a plan to collapse Konoha, which will not be good at that time."

Yakumo reminded that the strength of the two was somewhat of a dimensionality reduction blow to Konoha, and in addition, there was no sea as a battlefield nearby.

"Just restrain yourself." Masako Mori replied.

"All right."

"You two, please be safe."

Yakumo disappeared directly from the BBQ box. He planned to go to the Hatake mansion to inquire about what had happened in the ninja world in the past six months.

When Yakumo arrived, Kakashi was sparring with Hatake Sakumo. The father and son kept slashing with wooden swords, but no one let go... This led to Kakashi gradually suppressing Hatake Sakumo.

Finding it interesting, Yakumo chose a seat to watch the battle.

Kakashi and Zoro were like soul friends, and countless new inspirations broke out in four months, just like two complementary puzzle pieces gradually becoming complete.

The changes were so big that even Yakumo felt a little strange.

Take Ekakashi as an example. His slashing speed is still very fast, but under Zoro's guidance, the power of each slash has also been greatly improved, but he has suffered from Zoro's weakness of reciting poems.

"Such as the endless wind, contained in the nine heavens and ten earths."

"This is...three reincarnations."

In fact, it was just three consecutive slashes very quickly, but it had such a lofty name, which sounded very bluffing.

"Wandering in all directions to capture the fire from heaven and traveling in the six paths is Ksitigarbha."

"This is... all phenomena of Shura!"

In the training ground, Kakashi kept reciting moves, constantly compressing Hatake Sakumo's movement space, until he completely knocked away the wooden sword in his hand.

"Congratulations on winning, Kakashi!"

Hatake Sakumo spoke with some relief, not feeling any setback due to the failure. In his heart, inheritance is an extremely important thing.

"I've definitely improved a lot during this time."

Kakashi was still very humble after defeating Hatake Sakumo. When he really defeated his father, he inevitably felt a little excited. He finally achieved the goal he had set since he was a child.

It's a pity...there are still two big mountains in front of him.

When he saw Qianxue, who was unleashing all his strength, he suddenly realized the gap between him and himself, but Kakashi was not going to give up...

Life without goals will become very bad.

This is his simple idea. It does not necessarily have to transcend the sorrow of Qianxue, but he must have a goal to work hard for.

"Yakumo, you're here." Hatake Sakumo said.

"I want to understand the changes in Konoha during this period."

Yakumo sat under the umbrella and ate melon seeds. In fact, the sunshine in February was not dazzling, and there was even a slight chill in the weather. Of course, it could not affect a few people. A strong body would have a stronger ability to adapt to the environment.

"Change?"

Hatake Sakumo sat on the chair next to him, while Kakashi was practicing swordsmanship on his own in the training ground. For him...his own strength was far from enough.

"Yes, change."

Hatake Sakumo lowered his head and recalled for a moment, then spoke.

"Senju Naoki has started to move forward in front of the stage and has resumed his responsibility as Hokage, but it is said that he recently plans to choose the Sixth Hokage."

"Isn't his dream or goal to become Hokage?"

"Yes, that's right." Hatake Sakumo nodded.

There was a little more playfulness on his face, as if he had thought of something more interesting.

"He thinks being Hokage is boring and such a waste."

"Oh, he is quite pitiful."

Yakumo laughed dumbly.

Orochimaru brought the Senju Rope Tree to a height that did not belong to him. After becoming a self-attributed child, how could that child who was only a teenager and had not experienced any precipitation or setbacks assume the responsibility of Hokage?

"What should we do?" Yakumo asked.

"The rise of the Senju clan requires the Hokage platform, which means... he has no ability to choose now. Even if he is extremely unwilling, he must assume the position of Hokage and have the right to speak within Konoha." Hatake Sakumo.

replied.

"It's really pitiful."

Senju Naoki probably never dreamed that he would become the Hokage of his dreams in this way, nor did he expect that becoming Hokage would be so busy that he would have no time for himself at all.

"How pitiful is he? Now the government orders are handled by Tsunade and Jiraiya."

Hatake Sakumo continued.

"Didn't Tsunade conceal this matter?" Yakumo asked.

"There is no airtight wall in the world. Handwriting, personality, and habits are all clues that may be exposed. This matter is no longer a secret among the top management of Konoha, including the loss of the rope tree's great strength."

During this time, the prestige of the Senju clan took a hit. Although Konoha was prospering, the plates were actually filled with diners.

If the Senju clan wants to take over, it will inevitably affect the interests of the other major ninja clans. In the past, they would give in because of the strength of the Senju Rope Tree, but now there is no such restriction.

"The rope tree's body is compatible with the Wood Release, but it has lost its memory. Practicing diligently can restore at least 80% of its combat effectiveness."

There is a gap between Senju Rouki and Orochimaru in terms of combat experience. Even if he can master the wood escape again, he will not be able to obtain the peak level of power.

"Konoha seems stable, but in fact there are many problems."

Hatake Sakumo raised his head and sighed, then changed the subject.

"But as long as they don't stop me from opening a swordsmanship gym, other ups and downs don't have much to do with me."

"I also hope it has nothing to do with me."

It can almost be expected that when Tsunade finds out that he has returned to Konoha, she hopes that he will help the Senju clan stand up and then smoothly survive the rapid development in the past few years.

Yakumo didn't know how to reject the relationship between master and disciple.

"There is no way, you are too strong, so your ideas are extremely important to all the ninja clan in Konoha."

Hatake Sakumo had a theatrical smile on his face, and he could predict the next development of the situation. Although Yakumo never wanted to cause any waves on the water, he was the storm that swept everything.

"Take the bucket and run away."

Yakumo does not intend to get involved in the struggle between the Konoha ninja clan. This kind of thing will not be of any benefit to him, but will feel like a waste of time.

"I am truly happy now. I go to class and drink tea every day."

Hatake Sakumo sighed with a slight sigh of relief, and his tone seemed to be a bit teasing about Yakumo's experience.

"It's a pity that Uncle Hatake failed to fight Orochimaru and lost the position of Hokage."

"..."

"He uses profit as a link to connect with the ninja clan for personal gain."

"I don't care!"

Hatake Sakumo was poked at the central issue and subconsciously raised his voice.

"It's a pity...you can't beat him." Yakumo continued.

"It's just a magic trick to transform the body."

"I wouldn't do it!"

Hatake Sakumo raised his voice again. In fact, the two had a simple sparring match before Orochimaru became Hokage. Unfortunately, the final result was... Hatake Sakumo lost very quickly.

"It's a pity...he has disbanded the swordsmanship class, and there is nothing you can do."

"..." Hatake Sakumo was silent again.

One of Orochimaru's bargaining chips was to promise that the major ninja clans would disband Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship class, cutting off the rapid promotion channels for civilians. Those who were not as powerful as Hatake Sakumo could only temporarily disband.

Until Yakumo returned and defeated Orochimaru, activating the original will of the Senju Nōju, Tsunade agreed to establish a swordsmanship class... in exchange for Hatake Sakumo not participating in the struggle between the ninja clans.

"We can't talk today."

Hatake Sakumo's biggest setback in recent years was that he was easily defeated by Orochimaru and had to temporarily disband the swordsmanship class to regain his life.

"Hey, Uncle Hatake, have there been changes in the ninja world during this time?"

"No, the four major ninja villages are getting closer and closer, but as long as you occasionally show up in Konoha, the other ninja villages will not dare to cause trouble." Hatake Sakumo replied.

The alliance of the four major ninja villages is nothing more than an attempt to gain the confidence to make Konoha fearful by increasing their numbers.

But in the current situation, even if Yakumo doesn't take action, Konoha is still confident that one will fight against four. In fact... the reason why the four great powers exist can only be because the successive Hokage did not issue the idea of ​​​​invasion.

Plus...the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is controlled by Yakumo.

No one can be sure of what the future will bring. If a powerful country breaks the balance, it will inevitably think about how to unify.

"Forget it, these have nothing to do with me."

Yakumo shook his head. He exchanged two Daohua scrolls in January. In other words, the intelligence attribute can break the ninety-point bottleneck at any time. He secretly had other thoughts in his mind.

"Let's improve the intelligence attribute later."
