Konoha's Mission Master

Yakumo bowed slightly to Fukasaku, his face pale and his eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.

"Have you finally given up?"

"Mmm," Yakumo nodded.

“It’s fine to give up. You’re destined to never become an immortal. That’s a fact, and you can’t force it,” Fukasaku said, shaking his head.

"The immortal... is right."

Yakumo raised his head, a smile curving his lips.

He seemed to be giving a wry smile... and answered respectfully.

As white smoke rose, Yakumo returned to the Senju training ground.

"How is it?" Jiraiya's eyes were full of hope.

"It's done... Don't tell anyone."

"Hahaha... As expected of you!"

Jiraiya burst into laughter, his eyes filled with pride and joy... and at the same time made a promise.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Jiraiya patted his chest and assured him.

That evening, after giving Masako Mori her usual daily restorative treatment, Yakumo sent her away and went to his bedroom to lie on the bed, where he brought up the game interface.

Active: Sage Mode Beginner 1/800 'Accelerate'

Gold coins: 23200

After a moment's thought, Yakumo got up, closed the game interface, and created two shadow clones by forming hand seals. One clone went downstairs to keep watch, while the other lay on the bed. His main body hid in the closet, and he also arranged for Milkball to keep watch.

Milkball has been wearing the "Ancient Necklace of the Feathered Beast God" for a month, and its appearance has not changed much. However, from the occasional aura it exudes, Yakumo can confirm that it is getting stronger at an extremely fast speed.

For him, Konoha is not safe, and the moment he activates Sage Mode, his true form will be completely defenseless.

Inside the wardrobe, Yakumo curled up and opened the game interface without any hesitation, tapping "Speed ​​Up" ×800.

The gold coins rapidly disappeared, turning into a torrent that surged through the void, eventually transforming into mysterious energy that flowed into Yakumo's body.

With a loud bang.

Yakumo fainted again...

An unknown energy was powerfully transforming Yakumo's body. The disguise of the concealment technique was removed, revealing Yakumo's handsome face with its sharp features. At the same time, the chakra in his body gradually increased and surged, like a rushing river.

Yakumo's height increased rapidly as if he had taken hormones, gradually increasing from 146cm to 149cm!

Five minutes... three centimeters.

A spiritual perspective…

Yakumo saw a figure forcibly absorbing natural energy and integrating it into his body, day after day, year after year, without end, until the figure gradually accelerated the speed at which he plundered natural energy.

The natural energy within that figure rapidly increased, mixing into Sage Chakra. Yakumo could clearly sense the person's joy. The balance was broken the next second, and the figure turned into a stone sculpture.

Not long after... the cycle continued.

Plunder, integration, imbalance... stone carving.

Plunder, merge, succeed... Sage Mode.

As time went on, the figure in Yakumo's spiritual perspective became increasingly adept at entering Sage Mode. Unfortunately, the figure needed about twenty minutes of refinement and fusion to enter Sage Mode, and there was a risk of failure.

With a loud bang, the long memories were compressed into a green droplet by unknown energy and merged into Yakumo's head.

In reality, Yakumo opened her eyes.

He instantly discovered that the concealment technique within his body had been broken for some unknown reason. The good news was that his height seemed to have increased slightly, and at the same time, the chakra surging within his body had become even more abundant.

Chakra: 586.4 (650 points to advance to Kage level)

Yakumo left the wardrobe and moved around in the bedroom to gradually adapt to the changes in her body, while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

"This child is handsome and refined; he is destined for greatness!"

Yakumo savored the moment for a few seconds, then spoke narcissistically, turned around, and crawled back into the wardrobe to bring up the game interface.

Active: Sage Mode Proficiency 0/1200 『Accelerate』

Gold coins: 15200

Yakumo stretched and found a comfortable position.

Tap lightly... to speed up!

Chapter 145 Sage Mode, Perfection

Inside the bedroom wardrobe, Yakumo lightly tapped to accelerate.

Gold coins are disappearing, but the pace continues at an accelerated pace.

An unknown energy was strengthening Yakumo's body.

From his mental perspective, Yakumo seemed to have entered another world, seeing a pure white figure sitting quietly atop a sheer cliff, feeling the rhythm of the entire world.

The figure silently watched the tides rise and fall at the bottom of the cliff, watched the fierce and swift waves collide with the towering cliffs like thunder, watched the winds rise suddenly, the waves surge, and the deep purple lightning streaks across the sky, watched the sun and moon alternate in their rotation. For countless years, the figure has been observing the entire world from there, as if observing its number one enemy with meticulous detail.

Many years later, a pure white figure rose and roared at the world.

The figure was aggressively devouring natural energy. After entering his body, this natural energy fused with his chakra, giving birth to a new power.

At that moment, the mark of an immortal appeared on his forehead. The mark was a bright and intense blood red, like three water droplets converging, with the largest water droplet in the center containing the symbol of thunder.

The sky darkened, and a torrential downpour began. Dense purple lightning bolts streaked across the dark night, as if punishing this person who defied nature…

The next second, thousands of thunderbolts descended.

The scene shatters, and time reverses.

Numerous memories transformed into purple spheres, merging into Yakumo's mind like water droplets. A large number of memories surfaced in Yakumo's mind, memories related to Sage Mode.

Outside, Yakumo opened his eyes. The enhancement of Sage Mode had once again driven his physical growth, and his height had now reached 156cm.

Eight years old, 156cm... She stands out from the crowd.

At the same time, Yakumo's chakra level increased again.

Chakra: 646.4 (650 points to advance to Kage level)

Just a little bit more... to reach the level of a super-shadow.

initiative:

Sage Mode Perfection 0/1600 'Acceleration'

Successful: Preparation time reduced to five minutes.

As the name suggests, reaching the perfect level of Sage Mode does not allow you to instantly activate Sage Mode; you still need to spend time refining and fusing Sage Chakra.

Of course, at the perfect level, there is no chance of failure, in other words, Yakumo no longer has to worry about turning into a stone statue.

Yakumo sat quietly on the ground and began to refine Sage Chakra. The surrounding nature began to rapidly converge into his body, as if drawn by an unknown gravitational force.

One minute... two minutes... three minutes...

Four minutes... five minutes...

Yakumo opened his eyes and stood up abruptly. At the same time, a blood-red mark appeared in the center of Yakumo's forehead, resembling three water droplets converging, with the largest water droplet containing lightning patterns inside.

Yakumo clenched his fist, feeling the abundant power within his body. He estimated that if he didn't use Sage Techniques that consumed Sage Chakra, he could fight for thirty minutes. If he did use them, that time would be greatly reduced.

In Sage Mode, Yakumo can sense the slightest movement within a few hundred meters. As for malice perception and anticipation of attacks, those require the enemy to demonstrate, but one thing is certain... he can know immediately.

[Personal Panel]

Name: Jing Bayun

Age: 8

Constitution: 40.9 + 3 (Endurance, Resistance, Recovery)

Strength: 34.2 + 3 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Agility: 35.4 + 3 (Neural reaction, running speed)

Intelligence: 43.9 + 3 (learning ability, mental resistance)

Chakra: 646.4 (650 points to advance to Kage level)

The Sage Mode state grants an additional three-point boost to all attributes, and this boost lasts for a full thirty minutes. Sage Mode is truly powerful, but its resilience in combat needs to be tested in actual battles.

Yakumo gradually began to adapt to the physical power of Sage Mode, and finally went into the bathroom to wash. Thirty minutes later, the mark on his forehead disappeared.

Back in the bedroom, he used shadow clones to keep watch and practice ninjutsu, while his main body lay on the bed and began planning the mission schedule for the next month.

Tomorrow I need to buy some clothes that fit, and in August I need to get the quarterly feedback that's been delayed for three months sorted out and convince Hatake Sakumo.

Yakumo rolled over, costing 100 gold coins.

As the Concealment Technique was activated, Yakumo's height was gradually compressed by the energy of the technique, and his handsome face became somewhat ordinary, as the thick calluses on his hands also disappeared, along with the surging chakra that was hidden.

Goodnight, working people.

Before going to sleep, Yakumo greeted his shadow clone.

July 31st, Sunday.

Yakumo got up, ate the breakfast prepared by his shadow clone as usual, then recalled the shadow clone that was researching ninjutsu. After absorbing the overall understanding, he created ten more shadow clones.

Five of the shadow clones were responsible for learning the physical technique, Super Strength. The other five shadow clones were responsible for learning the Yin-Yang Sealing Technique, a sealing technique they had never mastered.

In the morning, Yakumo bought clothes to wear after the seal was broken, as well as some black night clothes. Then he went to Kushina Uzumaki's house and chatted with Rina Uzumaki for a while to confirm that she was already learning the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques before heading to the Hatake mansion.

On the first day, the persuasion was unsuccessful.

The same thing happened the next day.

On the third day, Hatake Sakumo was eloquent.

The fourth day is best left unmentioned.
