Konoha's Mission Master

However, Yakumo remained unresponsive as she fell into a deep sleep, just as her body was gradually being assimilated by natural energy.

The game system made the selection automatically.

[Prompt: Exchange for an Awakening Scroll to advance to the next level!]

Agility: 41.6

The strength attribute is also increased at the same time.

A gentle breeze blew, but the three golden passages seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Finally, the last bit of natural energy flowed into Yakumo's body, and the passages closed.

Just then, Yakumo opened his eyes.

The memories of sword practice gradually... were fully integrated.

"Let's call it 'Fleet of Light' then."

Yakumo left the wardrobe, stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and brought up her personal interface.

[Personal Panel]

Name: Jing Bayun

Age: 9

Constitution: 50.9 (Endurance, Resistance, Recovery)

Strength: 38.7 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Agility: 41.4 (Neural reaction, running speed)

Intelligence: 43.9 (learning ability, mental resilience)

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

Upgrading the Hatake Secret Manual to Grandmaster level only increases Agility by 4 points and Strength by 2.5 points, which is even less than the attribute points gained at Master level.

"Wait! Agility, 41.4."

Yakumo opened the game interface to start checking.

This confirmed that the Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll had been completely used up. This meant that after Agility reached its limit, the game system automatically used the Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll to exchange for a Spirit Awakening Scroll for the breakthrough.

Click again, and Yakumo brings up the skill interface.

initiative:

Hatake Secret Manual Master 0/2400 'Accelerate'

In other words... you've reached the threshold of 48000 gold coins.

"Hey."

Yakumo sighed softly. Limited by the amount of gold coins he had, he was never able to improve his strength in all aspects. There were just too many skills that required him to spend gold coins.

The primary goal now is Sage Mode. Secondary techniques include Sealing Techniques: Yin-Yang Seal, Palm Sage Technique, Hatake Secret Manual, Mist Burial, Heart Wave, Hardening Technique, and so on.

Yakumo stood up, leaped through the window into the training field, and held the jade pendant in his right hand.

The "Instant Light" sword technique is more suitable for short blades.

Yakumo slowly nurtured lightning in his palm.

A second later, golden arcs of electricity danced between his palms.

During the process of upgrading the Hatake Secret Manual, the wind and lightning chakra within Yakumo's body underwent some peculiar changes, becoming indigo wind and golden lightning.

It possesses even greater power than before the upgrade.

Yakumo brandished the Jade Sword and attempted to use... the Instant Light.

After all, there is a difference between learning at the spiritual level and practical operation. The essence of this move lies in extreme speed and the concentration of power.

Most energy systems cannot escape two paths.

First, increase the amount of energy, such as by continuously accumulating chakra.

Second, increase the level of energy, such as by mixing chakra to form a more powerful bloodline limit, or by fusing ninjutsu to create a more powerful composite ninjutsu.

In fact, Sage Mode is also a path to increase energy level. It enhances the power of the user's ninjutsu by fusing chakra with natural energy.

With the help of the game system, Yakumo's wind and lightning chakra underwent a miraculous transformation, and the level of energy was increased. From then on, the power of the Hatake Secret Manual, which was driven by the two types of chakra, would naturally increase as well.

Yakumo used the Shunko technique again and again, trying to comprehend the sword technique that Anorles had spent eight hundred years creating. The more he used it, the more interested he became in that powerful figure.

Why did Anorais strike the towering, immortal tree for eight hundred years? Was it all he sought simply for that blue crystal? What kind of love-hate relationship did that blonde, blue-eyed beauty have with Anorais?

Whoosh... Only a golden light remained in the arena.

As usual, Yakumo nurtured Mori Masako's body that day. Because his Palm Healing Technique had been upgraded to Grandmaster level, his healing speed became even faster, which Mori Masako strongly protested.

At night, Yakumo lay in bed enjoying a rare moment of peace, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep. In the end, he could only get up and start reading the books he had borrowed from Hatake Sakumo.

Knowledge is power.

As Yakumo thought this, he recalled the shadow clones who were practicing ninjutsu and then released another batch.

Recently, the focus of his self-cultivation has been on the Yin-Yang Sealing Technique.

This sealing technique will be very useful in the future battle against Orochimaru, after all... sealing techniques are the nemesis of the Impure World Reincarnation.

As time drew to a close, it came to Yakumo's birthday.

January 25th.

Chapter 155 Heading to the City of Fire

early morning.

After a quick wash, Yakumo looked at her reflection in the mirror—a face with rosy lips, white teeth, a dignified appearance, and an extraordinary air—and gave an extremely narcissistic smile.

Unfortunately, it's not even one ten-thousandth as good as what you, dear reader, have achieved.

Today is his second birthday in the ninja world. In the blink of an eye, a year and a half has passed since he crossed over into the ninja world, and he has completely gotten used to life there.

On the kitchen table, the breakfast prepared by the shadow clone was already laid out: fried eggs, milk, and croissants.

Yakumo ate breakfast while looking out the window, simultaneously retracting the shadow clones he had created to practice ninjutsu. Memories of practicing ninjutsu flooded his mind, and his proficiency with Yin-Yang Sealing Technique increased.

initiative:

Yin Yang Sealing Technique (Beginner) 105/600 [Accelerate]

This is Yakumo's progress over the past few months. Yin-Yang Sealing Technique is a sealing technique involving the transformation of Yin and Yang Release chakra natures, and its learning difficulty is estimated to be far superior to S-rank ninjutsu.

Yakumo also started browsing the "Quarterly Feedback" section.

"A greedy official who hoards wealth."

Task Reward: 1. 20000 Gold Coins.

Task Reward: 2. 3 free attribute points.

Bonus Reward: One Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll

Mission Description: In Konoha, with the new government in place, the village is facing a huge financial deficit due to the increase in pensions and relief funds. The righteous player needs to travel to the Fire Capital and obtain 80 billion yen in military funds from Daimyo Shinichi.

This task isn't difficult...

After all, he and Shinichi were brothers.

Yakumo then closed the game panel.

"Click".

The wooden door was pulled open from the outside, and Masako Mori walked in carrying a wooden box. From the box, Yakumo smelled a faint fragrance that seemed familiar but he couldn't quite place it.

Happy birthday, Yakumo.

With a thud, Masako Mori placed the wooden box on the table and offered her blessings to Yakumo.

"Thank you. What's in that wooden box...?"

“Longevity noodles, I remember two years ago you said you hoped to eat a bowl of longevity noodles cooked by your mother on your birthday.”

Masako Mori opened the wooden box and took out a white porcelain bowl. The clear noodle soup had only a few specks of oil and chopped green onions on it…

This style leans more towards Chinese style, with no char siu or seafood rolls on the noodles, just an egg nestled on the dough.

"Come and try it." Masako Mori handed over the chopsticks.

Yakumo was deeply moved. A casual remark he made years ago had been remembered by Mori Masako, who tried her best to recreate the longevity noodles he remembered from his mother. Perhaps this was true love.

Although it felt like she was being taken advantage of, Yakumo still enjoyed the meal very much, as the taste was very similar to the longevity noodles she had eaten on her birthday in her previous life.

He kept his head down and ate quickly... trying his best not to let tears fall from his eyes. After finishing the noodles and eggs, Yakumo picked up the porcelain bowl and drank some soup.

"If you like, I can make longevity noodles for you often."

As Masako watched Yakumo wolf down his food, a happy smile appeared on her face. At that moment, she suddenly felt that her tireless efforts had been worthwhile.

"No need, eating it once a year is enough."

Yakumo looked up and smiled as he declined. This year, he had received an incredibly special birthday gift, one that he would never forget, even in ten or twenty years.

Masako Mori stood up and began clearing away the dishes.

“I’m sorry… I was very cold to you during the period when my parents had just passed away the year before last.”

Yakumo wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and apologized to Mori Masako in an extremely sincere tone.

“I can understand the pain you were going through at the time. Even if you were several times colder to me, I wouldn’t blame you.”

Masako Mori packed the wooden box and smiled at Yakumo.

Yakumo also smiled.

The ninja academy is currently on holiday. After Mori Masako returns the wooden box home, the two head to the training grounds at the Hatake residence for training.

A while ago, Yakumo shared with his friends the technique of using shadow clones to practice ninjutsu. After several months of hard work, everyone was able to use shadow clones to practice ninjutsu.

Happy birthday, bro!

Obito Uchiha wiped the sweat from his cheeks and took out a purple square box from his ninja tool bag.

"Birthday present."
