Konoha's task master

At the top of the tower, Yakumo took a deep breath.

He looked at the white clouds in the sky and gradually regained his former self. He suddenly remembered that this kind of thing had happened many times before, but at that time the game system blocked the redundant memory.

This prevented him from feeling separated from the original world due to being away for a long time, but this time the game system did not take action.

"Can you help me block useless memories?"

Yakumo asked the game system in his mind. After he went to the huge green planet, the existence of the game system seemed to become weaker and weaker, and the things it could do became less and less.

[Tip: There is nothing this system can do.]

"reason."

[Tip: There are ninth-level powerhouses in the player’s memory. I cannot interfere with the ninth-level powerhouses at any level, even if they belong to your memory.]

"How can you block the memory of the Lord of the Void Realm?"

[Hint: Because you have not observed the main body.]

"...."

"What's the use of you?"

[Tip: It is recommended that the soul be raised to more than 100 points, which can strengthen the resistance to this kind of thing and even make it immune.]

'Two Eternal Scrolls.'

This is Yakumo's current inventory. After thinking about it for a while, he walked directly to the secret base, intending to directly improve his soul attributes.

Before that, he added a hundred years of life to Reiko Aoyama.

"Add some points to the intelligence attribute." Yakumo said softly.

The dense vines around him grew into a wooden cocoon, covering Yakumo's entire body without leaving any gaps. The shadow clone stood not far away to be alert to enemies that might suddenly appear.

When everything was ready, Yakumo slowly closed his eyes.

[Tip: This breakthrough will consume the Eternal Scroll.]

"Permission to break through."

Swish.

Yakumo's soul left his body, and he saw a pure white ocean. He turned into a butterfly, and he couldn't see the color on his body, so he could only flap his wings with all his strength.

Start from one end of the ocean and work towards the other.

He flew hard, staying as far away from the ocean as possible, and his vision gradually became clearer. He saw the silvery fish that were constantly floating on the sea. Some of them were in the shape of long shuttles, some were chubby and cute, and some looked strange.

They floated on the sea, curiously observing the butterflies in the sky, their eyes full of yearning. After all, they were once free butterflies, but they could not withstand the temptation.

Only then did he degenerate and turn into all kinds of strange swimming fish.

Yakumo looked at the fish, trying to stay as far away from the sea as possible, and flapped their wings as high as possible to fly high into the sky.

He has wings, and he should long for the sky and stay away from the sea because...if they are soaked with sweat, even he will lose the qualification to flap his wings.

Is this a dream?

Yakumo was a little confused.

Gradually, he saw the sea clearly. Although the color was pure white, the surface of the sea actually reflected light, and occasionally lifted up a dreamlike colorful veil.

That scene was so beautiful that it made Yakumo unconsciously think of Masako Mori, making him unconsciously want to lower his height and blend into the beautiful gauze, as if the true love in his heart was hidden there.

But his soul and subconscious told him.

Can't lower the altitude, can't be deceived!

If you can’t sink, you won’t be able to go back!

"Go back? Back to where?"

Strong confusion arose in Yakumo's mind, as if he had forgotten something very important, but so what, he was born as a butterfly, with wings, he will surely reach the end of the sea.

He no longer misses the beauty of the glow and flies high.

I don’t know how long I flew, I don’t know how long it took, the sunny sea gradually turned into a dark sky, and four huge black tornadoes at the end of my sight tried to completely seal off Yakumo’s path.

There is no way in front of us, shall we go back?

A voice like a devil's whisper came to Yakumo's ears, as if someone was tempting him to stop or turn around and fly backwards.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

Yakumo lowered his head and looked towards the sea.

The pure white sea surface was dyed gray at some point, and those small silver fish became very ugly, and their eyes changed from envy to viciousness.

"Come down and sink with us."

Those fish jumped out of the sea and made harsh calls to Yakumo, as if they no longer concealed their inner malice.

Four huge black tornadoes continued to expand in size in front of Yakumo, blocking all sight lines. There was no room to move forward, as if there was a dead end ahead.

"Come down, come down!"

Those fish began to lure Yakumo again and lowered their height. Their eyes seemed to be looking at delicious food.

"No, I won't stop."

"I was born with wings, and I will fly forever."

The butterfly transformed by Yakumo no longer hesitated, but vibrated its wings vigorously and began to accelerate, sprinting towards the four tornadoes. The fish in the sea became larger and more ugly, but they stopped speaking.

Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up countless times.

The black tornado is not worthy of its fear, and death cannot make it stop waving its wings. It longs for the end of the sea.

As the distance got closer, the black tornado became more and more terrifying. The invisible wind pressure made it difficult for Yakumo to maintain balance, and his fragile wings became shaky.

"Come down, the space near the sea is safer."

In the void, someone whispered.

Yakumo lowered his head and discovered that the tornado on the sea surface was indeed a little calmer than the high altitude. Maybe by lowering the altitude... he could pass the level safely.

"But I was born with wings, and I was supposed to flutter in the strong wind!"

Facing the strong wind, Yakumo increased his altitude, and the distance from the sea became very large. He also enjoyed the care of the black tornado.

As far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth are dark.

Yakumo raised his head hard, stared at the storm not far away, and diffused his soul energy. Finally... he saw it, saw the gap between the four black tornadoes, and saw the only hope of life.

Being close to the sea is a desperate situation, and the only hope is high in the sky.

He flapped his wings faster, constantly adjusting his direction deftly, and shuttled through the gaps in the black tornado, aiming at the only chance of survival and rushing through.

But...that is a darker sea.

The sea water below is like dark brown viscous sewage, and the swimming fish eat each other, eventually forming ugly monsters with many heads and eyes.

When Yakumo appeared, all the fish were boiling.

"Newcomer."

"There are actually newcomers!"

"There are still people coming to the third hell area!"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat him!"

Yakumo looked at those gray fish, and suddenly felt that if he swallowed them, he would gain extremely powerful power, and might even live forever, and possibly surpass Junyu Uchiha.

But he was wondering, who is Junyu Uchiha?

Eat them and you will live forever.

The bewitching voice sounded again in the virtual space. He was like a devil looking forward to Yakumo's fall and looking forward to him swallowing those gray fish.

"But they're so ugly."

Swallow them and you will get everything you want.

"But they're so ugly."

Eternal life, supreme power, endless wealth.

"But they're so ugly."

Yakumo subconsciously adjusted his position to stay away from the filthy sea that was constantly boiling and foaming. Due to surviving the strong wind just now, his flying speed became faster and his wings became more powerful.

The dark brown river no longer continues.

Finally he saw the sea of ​​a new color. A ninja world seemed to have been formed under the sea level of this sea. There were people or things that Yakumo cherished. The dense and lush forest concealed the Hidden Leaf Village.

Masako Mori sat on a wicker chair, holding the baby in her hands, waving to Yakumo.

"Stop it, let's live a happy life together."

Yakumo clearly saw the ninja world under the sea level, his familiar home, and his wife who kept waving to him.

"I want to see the end of the sea." Yakumo said.

"Don't you want to live a stable life?"

Masako Mori, who was under the sea level, suddenly opened her mouth and asked.

"Yeah, but I feel like I should go to the end of the sea."

"I was born with wings, and I was meant to fly for a long time."

Yakumo is no longer nostalgic. He always feels that that person is a bit fake. If it is the real Masako Mori, she will unconditionally support all his decisions.

He continued to fly and finally approached the end of the sea, where there was an island several kilometers in size. In the center of the island was a big tree growing, and the trees were filled with fruits, most of which were unripe.

Yakumo flew to the island, and his soul began to change its shape. The flying wings turned into arms, and the legs extended from the body. His eyes opened and all the memories returned.

It turns out... he is undergoing a hundred breakthroughs in his soul. This is not a dream, but a space designed for the soul. Only by reaching the other shore and boarding this island can he truly complete his transformation.

If he wavers along the way and chooses to stay close to the sea, he will be transformed into a fish trapped in this space forever, and his body in the outside world will become a vegetative state.

Love, hate, greed, delusion... are just a big dream in vain.

Silver fish give up because of love, so they envy and bless those who come after them, and it is also the safest sea area.

The gray fish represent hatred. They are floating and sinking in the rancid sewage. They fail because of the hatred in their hearts that they are unwilling to let go. Their hearts have been completely distorted, hoping that those who come after them will become their companions.

The assembled combination represents greed.

They are disqualified because of greed. Even if they fall into the sea of ​​desire, they will be eager to devour their own kind to grow. Therefore, they only treat the newcomers with pure greed.

But even if they devour the same kind, they cannot gain any happiness. It will only trigger greater greed and continue to devour, until only the last one is left, disintegrate again, turn into countless greedy fish, and repeat the process.

Failure in the first three areas means that you will completely stay in this space and become a slave of this ocean. From now on, you will no longer have happiness and will lose all freedom. You will spend your life providing nutrients to the tree of talent on the island.

The fourth area represents delusions.

It is often the biggest desire in the heart of the challenger. If the challenge fails, it will not pay a big price. It will only sink into a dream world that is close to reality and enjoy the life that it once dreamed of.

But in the end it was all empty.

Yakumo began to move towards the center of the island. Every time he moved, the island would provide him with some energy to help his soul complete the final transformation.

100...120....130....159...219.

When he walked under the tree, his soul had soared to 219.

Yakumo's state of mind did not have any fluctuations. This challenge was more like a mental state of practice, allowing him to reach a special state where he would no longer be happy or sad due to external objects.

But this is different from being cold and ruthless, and more like a kind of mastery. He believes that the improvement of intelligence is not enough to make him happy, so he will not give birth to any joy.

Under the big tree, there are several message boards.

Rule 1: If latecomers are indecisive, just choose the biggest one on top, but never choose the red one. Remember, the pure white hope fruit is very deceptive, so don’t choose it.

The second point, I took away the red fruit. The first point is right, the red fruit is indeed a big hole, and there is no way I can go back now.

Article 3: I chose the Fruit of Hope, which is really a scam.

Article 4: This tree represents the original power of the universe. The fruit on the tree does not make people directly invincible, it only represents a starting point.

Article 5: There are different starting points, but the one that suits you is always right.

Yakumo raised his head and looked at the tree crown.

There was a gray fruit and a colorless fruit, both of which seemed vaguely familiar to him. Just when he was struggling, the colorless fruit seemed to be too ripe and rolled directly off the branch.

winter--

It hit Yakumo on the head.

When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the ninja world. His intelligence attributes were falling at an extremely fast speed, starting from a terrifying 219, and finally dropped to 100 points.

"It turns out this is an experience card."

Yakumo muttered something unhappy, waved his hand and untied the wooden cocoon that tied him around. Countless bloody rattans reintegrated into the wooden board under his feet, and the shadow clone in the distance disappeared.

[Tip: Congratulations to the player for breaking the ninth-level soul attribute limit.]

[Tip: The ability of the Almighty Eye has been improved, and the calculation speed of things has doubled. The data observation of powerful people will become more accurate, closer to nature, and grasp the essential characteristics of the universe. 】

[Tip: Congratulations to the player for getting the talent Time Standstill.]

[Tip: This ability will increase with the improvement of the soul. Currently, it can be stopped for one second each time. There is no cooling and it consumes soul power. 】

As soon as Yakumo thought, the surroundings suddenly stopped.

Even if it was only for one second, he did indeed master the ability of time. This may be the ability derived from the colorless fruit. In this case, what kind of ability does the gray fruit represent?

"What ability does the gray fruit correspond to?" Yakumo asked.

[Hint: space.]

"I see."

Yakumo secretly thought, in fact, he still prefers the ability of time compared to space. The increase in freezing all the battles must be greater than that of space movement. In addition, he already has the ability to move in space.

[Tip: Using Time Stop on people with exceeding intelligence attributes will incur a more terrifying cost, which can lead to death due to soul exhaustion. 】

"...The price is a bit heavy."

"Okay, I admit that spatial ability is not bad either."
