Konoha's Mission Master

A smile appeared on Reiko Aoyama's face.

“Then it’s a deal,” Yakumo said happily.

“It’s a deal,” Reiko Aoyama said with a smile.

The two parted ways...

Aoyama Reiko smiled. If Yakumo hadn't pointed it out in time, she might have made a dangerous attempt to increase the amount of Yang Release chakra. Fortunately, Yakumo spoke up at that moment, pulling her back from the brink.

"Even for you alone, I would not conduct any dangerous experiments."

"I whispered," Aoyama Reiko said, a bright smile on her face. Her beauty at that moment amazed everyone on the street.

Unfortunately, Yakumo didn't get to see it; he's already on his way home.

Upon returning home, Yakumo met Mori Masako, who had returned from her training. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they went to Yakumo's bedroom as usual, where Yakumo began to use his palm technique to nourish the cells in Mori Masako's body.

"Yesterday, regarding the question about the girl during the mission, are you not going to continue asking about it?"

The two returned to the living room. Yakumo felt a little guilty. He had noticed that Mori Masako's attitude was strange that morning, as if she was deliberately avoiding him, or as if she was observing him.

“I won’t ask, I won’t ask…” Masako Mori replied immediately.

And he shook his head vigorously.

She knew clearly that today was the anniversary of Uncle Jing and Aunt Jing's death. At this moment, she was more worried about how Yakumo was feeling. If he reverted to his withdrawn state from last year, she really didn't know what to do.

"You can ask about that..."

Yakumo said cautiously, feeling more and more that Masako Mori was on the verge of getting angry.

"I really don't want to ask that."

Masako Mori shook her head cautiously.

"Alright then," Yakumo sighed.

Masako Mori suddenly realized that he seemed unhappy.

He quickly spoke tentatively.

"Why don't you take the initiative and say so?"

"Haha, okay... I'll make it short then."

Yakumo answered with a smile.

Masako Mori breathed a sigh of relief; he was happy again.

That's excellent!

The two chatted for a while longer, mainly Yakumo explaining his reasons for choosing to save Rina Uzumaki.

Finally… Masako Mori couldn’t help but say.

"Yakumo, don't be too sad. Even though Uncle Ii and Aunt Ii have passed away, you still have me."

The girl's gaze was unwavering.

At that moment, Yakumo suddenly understood the reason for the girl's fear and anxiety and her careful observation, and also understood why Masako Mori stopped asking about Rina Uzumaki.

This stems from the fact that she is the only one besides Yakumo who knows that today is the anniversary of Yakumo's parents' death, and it stems from the fact that she cares deeply about her own feelings.

“Okay, I still have you,” Yakumo replied with a smile.

At this moment, Yakumo felt even greater joy than if he had personally sent Danzo on his way, he added.

"Mori Masako, it's so good to have you."

After Masako Mori left, Yakumo lay on the bed and opened the game interface. At that moment, the time had just reached the point when Yakumo was reborn.

"Anniversary celebration, limited-time events, more than just flash sales!"

Chapter 144: Omens of the Dungeon, Immortal Mode

Inside the bedroom.

Yakumo was very surprised. As a veteran player with ten years of gaming experience, he naturally knew that any game's anniversary celebration was a grand event, and the game planners would use seemingly worthwhile activities to reap the players' money and time.

He opened the event page with practiced ease.

Anniversary Limited-Time Special Offer Shop!

"If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year!"

The limited-time shop features player-exclusive items!

Don't miss it!

Breaking News! Dungeon Launch Announcement!

Yakumo's hands trembled slightly. Dungeons are one of the most important components of the game, and the level of fun of a dungeon can directly affect whether players are willing to spend money on the game.

In his previous life, Yakumo had quit the game several times because the dungeons were too boring, but unfortunately, Yakumo has no choice now.

Finally, I gently tapped the question mark with curiosity.

The quest progression for each open instance in the game varies from three to ten days, with the time flow mirroring that of real life.

The game's dungeons will officially unlock after players' all attributes exceed 40 points. Players cannot die within the dungeons, but a certain amount of gold will be deducted for failing the mission.

To maintain the balanced state of the dungeon world, players cannot obtain any attribute treasures, skills, or inheritances from the dungeon world, but they can obtain quest rewards by completing quests issued by the game system.

Note: The game developer assumes no responsibility for any bugs or dangers encountered within the game instance and reserves the right of final interpretation.

"Okay, so the last one is the key one!?"

Yakumo tapped the anniversary shop with her finger.

The items in the shop were largely as Yakumo had guessed: Skill Fusion Scrolls, Master Breakthrough Scrolls, Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls, Dao Transformation Breakthrough Scrolls, Refinement Stones, Enchantment Stones, and several new items…

This time the discounts are even better; the anniversary sale is definitely the most generous event yet, but there is a purchase limit.

One-time prophecy scroll

Item Description: After use, it can predict the most direct crisis that is closely related to the player within one year, allowing the player to plan ahead, avoid... or even overcome the crisis.

Item Price: 18000 Gold Coins. (Limited-Time Discount)

Remaining quantity: 1

Adding another one to the "collecting dust" series, Yakumo is extremely envious of the scroll's abilities, but the price is a bit too high for him to afford.

'The Ancient Necklace of the Feathered Beast God'

Item Category: Special Oddities

Item effect: It can increase the growth speed of the contracted beast by three times, and disappears after increasing the growth progress by one.

Item Price: 9000 Gold Coins (Player Only)

Yakumo is very familiar with this item. In the original mini-game, it was prepared as an experience booster for pets, which can be used to accelerate the growth of Milkball. This should be the item that is exclusive to him in the anniversary shop.

After a brief hesitation, Yakumo decided on his purchase.

Essence and Enchantment are designed to push the limits beyond the peak, and are products derived to encourage whales to continue spending money. However, the Master Breakthrough Scroll is currently a necessity.

'Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll'

Item Price: 12000 Gold Coins (Anniversary Reward)

Remaining quantity: 2

Current gold coin balance: 34200.

Purchase! Quantity: 2.

Note: This process is irreversible.

Yes or No

Yakumo tapped "Yes," and the gold coins were instantly deducted.

Gold Coin Balance: 10200 gold coins.

Purchase the "Ancient Necklace of the Feathered Beast God"!

Gold Coins Balance: 1200.

Without hesitation, he closed the anniversary store.

Personal Skills

initiative:

Palm Immortal Technique Master Level 1200/1200 『Breakthrough』

In Yakumo's eyes, the word "breakthrough" is still gray.

[Master-level Breakthrough Requirements for Immortal Cultivation Technique]

『1. Physical attribute reaches 50 points, not yet met』

"Second, two Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls are now complete."

Yakumo waved his hand, closing the game interface.

Currently...physical fitness level 40.9

Yakumo has always chosen a balanced approach to stat allocation, which avoids any obvious weaknesses and ensures both survivability and combat effectiveness.

Most importantly, in order to unlock the mini-game's dungeon system as soon as possible, he also needs to raise his four main attributes to over 40 points.

Yakumo Analysis…

A score of 40+ represents the overall quality of a Kage-level character. Currently, Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sakumo Hatake, and Tenshin Yozuki are at this level.

A score of 50+ represents physical attributes at the Kage level, such as the Third Raikage of Kumogakure, and Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Whether 60+ attributes can represent Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha Yakumo at their peak is unclear, as 60 attribute points is still a long way from their peak.

Of course, attribute points do not directly represent combat power; they are only reference values. Even if Onoki did not have 50+ in each attribute, his attack power from Dust Release alone would definitely surpass most Super Kage-level attacks.

Yakumo shut down the system, turned over, and closed his eyes.
