Konoha's Mission Master

Yakumo answered, panting heavily.

He held the absolute initiative from the start of the battle, but it was still incredibly difficult. It can only be said that Kage-level powerhouses are really... hard to kill.

Immediately afterwards... a drop of water pierced Danzo's chest.

Strangely, no blood seeped from the wound on his chest; in the final battle, Danzo had already bled out of his body.

The Dark Side of the Ninja World, Danzo Shimura... in Konoha 40 years ago.

January 31st, night.

death.

Chapter 129 The Furious Hiruzen Sarutobi

Outside Yuyin Village.

Although Danzo was dead, his body remained standing.

He devoted the first half of his life to Konoha, suffering from numerous hidden ailments and injuries, only to regret it for the rest of his life because of a mere half-second's mistake during a test. In the second half, he hid in the dark, damp underground, scheming relentlessly for the Hokage position, only to end up with nothing. Only in his death did he reclaim his former pride.

Yakumo stepped forward, laid Danzo's body flat on the ground, and silently took out the corpse-dissolving liquid and began to pour it out completely, gazing at that gloomy and fierce face.

One bottle, two bottles, three bottles…

Until all inventory is used up.

Accompanied by thick smoke and a foul stench, flesh and blood began to gradually melt, and ten seconds later... Danzo completely disappeared from this world.

Yakumo did not leave. Instead, he poured oil into the area where the two were fighting and lit it. The flames roared on the surface of the water.

Truly, no remains were found.

"Goodbye, Lord Danzo."

Yakumo clapped his hands and quickly ran towards Amegakure.

The seal reappeared, and the chakra fluctuations gradually disappeared.

The sky was still drizzling. Yakumo stood by the circular lake and leaped into the water, diving to the bottom. This was his escape plan. With his strong physique, Yakumo quickly swam towards the interior of Amegakure, not even worrying about his body hitting the sensory barrier.

Wow…

Yakumo emerged from the water, having already entered Amegakure and found his way... He quickly moved through the water, and five minutes later pushed open the door to the guest room, simultaneously deactivating the shadow clone inside.

Rina Uzumaki got up with a hint of surprise...

But when she saw the wounds on Yakumo's body, a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair and white forearm.

"Bite me!"

"It's mostly healed..."

Yakumo pushed his arm away and refused outright. After his physique broke through its limits three times, he, an ordinary person, possessed certain magical qualities, such as abundant stamina, extended lifespan, and increased healing speed.

"Alright." Disappointment flashed in Rina's eyes. She really wanted to experience what it felt like to be bitten by Yakumo, to see if it would be different from what others experienced.

"Rina, don't tell anyone that I left...." Yakumo instructed.

“I understand… This is a secret between us, and I will never tell anyone even if I am beaten to death.”

Rina Uzumaki raised three fingers, looked at Yakumo, and solemnly swore an oath.

"I believe you."

Yakumo took out a bath towel to dry off the water stains on his body, went to the window, and looked at the dimly lit Amegakure through the curtains, preparing for the trouble that was to come.

The bleeding from the wounds on his body had mostly stopped. Yakumo created a shadow clone, and green light emanated from his hands as he began to heal his main body.

A few minutes later, Yakumo shook his head slightly. Despite having the upper hand, the result was not as perfect as planned, and he was still injured several times.

Yakumo created a shadow clone to keep watch, then lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Yakumo opened the game interface.

In fact... before the plan began, Yakumo enhanced the Ninja Art: Jizo Needle, spending 8000 gold coins to push it to absolute perfection. The result was that her hair volume became more astonishing and her black hair became more resilient.

initiative:

Ninja Art: Earthly Needle (Perfect) 800/800 (Breakthrough)

Immediately afterwards, Yakumo opened the mission interface, ignoring the colorful and fancy fonts at the beginning, and looked at the monthly limited edition for February.

[Monthly Limited Edition]

The best kind of friendship in the world.

"accept."

Yakumo dressed and washed up, while simultaneously creating shadow clones to practice ninjutsu. Currently, he had not yet perfected Hardening Technique and Heart Wave, and these two ninjutsu were the focus of his training.

After finishing their excessive breakfast downstairs, the two headed towards the Akatsuki's stronghold, disappearing into the rain. Due to the dark clouds covering the sky, Amegakure was shrouded in a hazy, gray light from morning till night, making it impossible to judge the passage of time by the sun.

The blue-haired boy was in charge of guarding the Akatsuki stronghold this time. After hearing Yakumo's purpose, he let him pass directly, which was obviously the result of Yahiko's orders.

On the sixth-floor platform, Yakumo saw Jiraiya eating grilled chicken wings and drinking sake, his face flushed, with Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato Uzumaki beside him.

There were basically three people eating, and Xiao Nan patiently turned the chicken wings over, quietly watching the three of them.

"Yakumo, you're here."

Jiraiya wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and began to speak.

"Seriously injured patients cannot drink alcohol."

Yakumo stepped forward and snatched the sake cup from Jiraiya's hand. A hint of apology appeared on Konan's pale face. Jiraiya had asked her to buy this sake that morning. Although she had tried to refuse, she couldn't resist... Jiraiya.

"Just one more bite, just one more bite..."

Jiraiya exhaled a breath of sake and made a request to Yakumo.

"No, that won't do," Yakumo refused with a light laugh.

While Yakumo was fighting Danzo to the death outside, Jiraiya was enjoying the care of his beautiful female disciple and indulging in family bliss. How could Jiraiya not feel envious and jealous?

A shadow clone appeared, its hands forming hand seals.

The Palm Healing Technique continued to heal Jiraiya.

“Happiness… is gone.” Jiraiya shook his head.

Konan leaned closer to look at the shadow clone who was being treated, a look of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

As Konan approached, Yakumo smelled a delicate, fragrant scent, like the aroma of orchids.

Xiao Nan is about thirteen years old now. Her light blue-purple hair is tied in a bun, with a purple flower on the right side of her head. Because she is not wearing makeup, her features appear even more delicate, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

"Do you want to learn?" Yakumo asked.

"What...?" Xiao Nan asked, puzzled.

"After I leave, those men are often injured, and there always needs to be someone with medical ninjutsu by their side."

Yakumo continued, his tone full of sincerity.

"Can...you teach me?" Xiao Nan asked, even more surprised.

As far as she knew, the transmission of ninjutsu was always considered a top secret by Konoha. To teach it to others without permission was tantamount to treason. Even Jiraiya could only teach them some simple ninjutsu.

"Okay, but you have to promise not to teach it to anyone else."

“No problem…” Xiao Nan replied with delight.

"I want to learn too!" Rina Uzumaki suddenly exclaimed.

"You should learn... those few water-based ninjutsu first."

Yakumo shook his head and refused. He was joking... Rina Uzumaki wasn't the mission target, so he didn't need to risk betraying the village to teach her medical ninjutsu.

"Okay then." Rina Uzumaki looked somewhat dejected.

Not long after, Rina and Nagato were whispering in a corner, while Yakumo created a shadow clone to teach Konan the Sage Mode.

Yahiko stood up and came to Yakumo's main body.

As Yakumo was wondering, Yahiko began to talk about his dream. The first part was quite realistic, but as the dream unfolded, Yakumo felt it was becoming more and more empty. He frequently dreamed of true peace, creating a new ninja world, and keeping ninjas away from killing.

Yakumo pondered it carefully and realized that Yahiko's words sounded very passionate. Between the lines, it was clear that he had high hopes for Yahiko and that Yahiko should join him for the sake of true peace.

Yakumo Shindo.

Good grief, this is... trying to recruit me, but I have absolutely no interest in Yahiko's dream.

Do I look like someone who's easy to fool or deceive?

Yakumo volunteered to teach Konan medical ninjutsu for the sake of the mission. Could it be that Yahiko mistook Yakumo for a hot-blooded and naive boy because of this...?

"I don't want to hear it..." Yakumo coldly refused.

Yahiko's enthusiasm subsided slightly. After sizing up Yakumo for a few seconds, he quickly leaped up and spoke loudly.

"Yakumo, how about a manly spar?"

"Sure, no problem."

Yakumo smiled, a very happy smile.

Is this a case of someone who's no good at intellectual pursuits, so they're resorting to force?

Unfortunately... Yakumo was skilled in both literature and martial arts.

Jiraiya shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The two stood still and formed a opposing hand seal.

Five minutes later, Yahiko lay quietly on the platform, like a salted fish that had lost all its dreams, staring at the roof with increasingly empty eyes.

"Having dreams is a good thing, but realizing dreams depends on one's own strength, not empty talk."
