Konoha's Mission Master

Half an hour later, Yakumo saw the man running at top speed in the rain, as if something extremely terrifying was chasing him.

“But he couldn’t escape the intense grief, nor could he change the established facts,” Jiraiya suddenly said.

“We can’t either…” Yakumo added.

"So...we are no different from him."

Jiraiya gazed at the gloomy sky and sighed, feeling a renewed sense of defeat at the thought that he might not be able to stop his best friend from going astray.

Yakumo watched Jiraiya's dejected expression, then calmly picked up the chicken wings that Konan had grilled and started eating them. A dozen minutes later, only chicken bones remained on the ground.

Three days later, Yakumo and Jiraiya embarked on their journey home.

To thank Konan for her hospitality during this time, Yakumo taught Konan the training method of the medical ninjutsu, the technique of extracting minor ailments.

On the other hand, Yakumo advised Konan to focus on improving her own strength and not become someone in the team who needs to be protected.

Within an unknown spatial crevice.

Above the boundless pool of blood, two illusory figures emerged, the remaining two blood-robed priests, Qingchen and Shangwu, their expressions respectful and solemn, their bodies slightly forward.

With a loud bang, the blood pool churned.

A pair of blood-red eyes, like lanterns, appeared.

"Praise be to the evil god, my god is immortal and indestructible."

"By my God, Twilight Priest... lost contact."

The two blood-robed priests immediately knelt down like two loyal dogs, their bodies trembling slightly... as if awaiting the wrath of the evil god.

"I already know that I will die at dusk."

"To my delight, I have found the high priest who will spread my influence in that world. From now on, you will need to cooperate with him."

"As ordered!"

The two were puzzled, but they immediately agreed.

At this moment, a third figure emerged above the infinite blood pool. He was somewhat slender, with a figure that resembled a woman's, and most striking were his vertical, narrow eyes.

The man bowed slightly and smiled faintly.

"Praise be to the evil god, my lord."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The owner of the enormous blood-red eyes beneath the pool of blood let out a deafening laugh, and with its laughter, the entire space began to tremble and crumble.

Orochimaru opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling above him, and let out a neurotic laugh.

When he saw the mysterious life beneath the pool of blood and felt its despairing amount of chakra, he suddenly felt that the distance between him and immortality had become within reach.

All it takes is... that self-proclaimed godlike life...

He will devour and absorb... and thus achieve immortality!

Chapter 152 Palm Immortal Technique, Grandmaster Level

The 41st year of Konoha, January 1st.

At this time, Yakumo had returned to Konoha from Amegakure, and the incident involving the Blood Robe Priest and the Undying God had come to an end.

From beginning to end, neither of them were exposed to the secret service's intelligence system at dawn or noon, and the new year quietly arrived.

As soon as Yakumo opened his eyes, he immediately opened the game interface. Based on his guess, the New Year's reward shop interface would refresh today, and he wanted to stock up on a few Grandmaster-level breakthrough scrolls.

"Brand new rewards, generous items."

"No being fooled, no losing out, everything is discounted."

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo simply waved his hand.

His face was full of pride, "I'm not short of money today!"

Purchase 2 Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls.

Gold coins decreased by 32000.

The current gold coin balance is 60800.

Yakumo chose to continue buying. This time, he was going to use up all the gold coins he had accumulated over the past six months. He was no longer the poor guy he used to be; he now possessed a huge fortune… and his arrogance was evident.

He's going to go crazy!

Gold coins decreased instantly by 47000.

The "Taoist Transformation Scroll" has arrived.

Current gold coin balance: 12800.

Yakumo continued to purchase "Same-type Skill Fusion Scrolls".

Gold Coins Balance: 5600.

Acquired six Refined Stones, now have 200 Gold Coins remaining.

Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief and closed the New Year's shop.

In just a few minutes, Yakumo spent a total of 92800 gold coins, and now he had five Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls, which was enough to alleviate his immediate needs.

In the coming months, Yakumo's strength will surely see a rapid increase.

"bump."

Yakumo recalled the shadow clones he had created while practicing ninjutsu and began to process the memories that were flooding his mind.

A few minutes later, Yakumo created another shadow clone and ordered him to prepare breakfast.

The main body then hides in the wardrobe and brings up the game interface.

Without hesitation, I improved my physical condition.

Constitution 49.9, Limit Trigger.

The game system prompted Yakumo that the next time he needed to improve his constitution attribute, he would need to spend two Spirit Awakening Scrolls to break through the limit.

Breaking the limits has increased costs again…

As expected, it's acceptable.

"Exchange it," Yakumo said softly.

Notification: Redemption complete.

Yakumo brings up the game interface and taps to speed up.
