Konoha's Mission Master

Matt Day's expression was very serious. Although he was usually oblivious, he knew that he had to pass this test perfectly to live up to his best friend's efforts.

"Prepare."

Might Guy removed the weights from his legs, and the seemingly light leg wraps instantly created a large crater in the training ground, sending dust billowing up.

"How could this be? This guy is carrying such a heavy load and can still move around freely. Is he a monster?" someone in the audience exclaimed.

"It's just an act. I don't believe he can pass the ANBU Jonin exam."

People around them were talking about it.

"Dad, you can do it!"

"Uncle, keep it up!"

On the makeshift platform in the training ground, the Fourth Hokage Sakumo Hatake and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived one after another, but Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were absent from this special Jonin rank assessment.

"Then... let's begin!"

Might Guy immediately took action, and at the very beginning of the battle, he pushed the Eight Gates Formation down to the fifth gate, the Gate of Closure.

Transparent steam diffused outwards from his pores. Might Guy's speed reached its peak in a few breaths, and his afterimage ninjutsu could not hit him at all.

"How is this possible... this is that bottom-of-the-class student?"

"No way, his physical skills are amazing!"

As the assessment continued, Might Guy was gradually suppressed by the ANBU Jonin. But no matter the outcome, his fighting prowess had already proven to everyone that he was not a hopeless perennial loser.

"Eight Gates Formation - Gate of View, Open!"

The steam surrounding him instantly turned green!

The two clashed at an even faster pace, but to everyone's surprise, the ANBU Jonin was now completely suppressed by Might Guy!

As the bell rang, everyone was jolted awake. Only then did they realize that the underdog they had looked down upon had held out for a full ten minutes against the ANBU Jonin.

No, it should be said that in the last few minutes, Might Guy had already suppressed that ANBU Jonin, and if the fight continued, the outcome would be uncertain.

The training ground was uneven from the fight between the two, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that the ANBU Jonin had not held back.

"Clap clap clap..."

Suddenly, applause rang out in the arena. Everyone immediately looked over and saw Sakumo Hatake clapping on the platform. A smile had appeared on his usually stern and cold face.

"Might Guy, a genin of Konoha, has successfully passed the jonin-level test. Therefore, in the name of the Fourth Hokage, I hereby declare... Might Guy to be a special jonin of Konoha!"

"Starting today, Might Guy can enjoy Jonin-level medical care and subsidies... and can accept missions of A rank or higher!"

"Finally, I hope that Special Jonin Might Guy will train hard for the prosperity, peace, and glory of Konoha!"

The next second, thunderous applause erupted in the hall. Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and used Body Flicker to leave.

Might Guy received his ninja certificate as a special Jonin of Konoha on the platform, along with his Jonin badge. The moment he received the ninja certificate, Might Guy burst into tears.

Yakumo shook his head and smiled bitterly. He couldn't help but turn to look at Might Guy and found him also wailing, and tightly hugging Kakashi.

From then on, they would never again suffer unfair treatment or ridicule.

Today's battle has proven Might Guy's strength to everyone.

In the evening, Masako Mori went to Yakumo's house for dinner, while Kakashi was sparred with by Might Guy, and Milkball was sprawled on the sofa drinking juice.

Suddenly, Yakumo noticed that the ancient necklace of the Feathered Beast God around Milkball's neck had disappeared.

This means that Milkball's growth level has increased by one step, but it seems to have not changed at all, except that it has become more gluttonous. Fortunately, Yakumo has never used Milkball as a fighting force.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Yakumo would occasionally visit Konoha Hospital to give Aoyama Reiko, who was diligently practicing taijutsu, a full-body warming treatment until her face turned red. Of course, the main purpose of doing this was to prevent any hidden injuries from being left inside her body.

In the past two months, the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure has deteriorated further, triggered by the mysterious disappearance of Sasori, the grandson of Elder Chiyo.

Sunagakure believes that Konoha was behind the attack, and Konoha is also imposing food sanctions on Sunagakure in response to Kakashi's assassination attempt.

Yakumo, however, believed that Sasori was already dead…

By mid-April, all the funds allocated to Daming Prefecture had arrived.

Quarterly feedback completed!

Yakumo entered the bedroom with some surprise and lay down on the bed.

"Submit the task."

[Mission: Greedy Money-Grubbing Official - Completed!]

The player receives 20000 gold coins.

The player receives 3 free attribute points.

The player has obtained one Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll.

Then comes the time for improvement.

Yakumo got up, created a shadow clone to be on guard, and as usual, crawled behind the wardrobe to bring up the skill interface.

initiative:

Heart Wave Master 0/1200 'Acceleration'

Mist Burial Master 60/800 'Acceleration'

Gold coins: 79100

One scroll for fusion of skills of the same type remaining.

The purpose of this scroll is to merge two scrolls that have something in common, resulting in a qualitative change where one plus one equals more than two.

Yakumo plans to combine Mist Burial and Heart Wave, both of which possess the characteristics of sensory ninjutsu. The former can also suppress the enemy's senses, speed, strength, and so on.

The first step is to improve both, and Yakumo uses a light tap to accelerate.

Gold coins: 79100-7400 remaining, 71700.

This time, Yakumo didn't faint, but with the acceleration, he found himself in a world made up of dense fog.

Here, Yakumo could not sense any changes in time or space. The surrounding fog was so thick that he could not see his own hand in front of his face. He could only move passively and grope around. As time went by, his body became more and more tired, as if he were in the darkest abyss and was being swallowed up. Perhaps this is what it feels like for an enemy to be enveloped by the fog?

Once Yakumo realized what was happening, he simply lay down on the ground and quietly awaited death, since there was no danger involved in improving his skills anyway.

As time went by, he grew weaker and weaker…

He suffocated for a full two and a half hours until he lost the strength to breathe.

Inside the bedroom, Yakumo shook his head, the shadow of suffocation and death gradually fading, and he opened the skill interface.

Active: Mist Burial Master 800/800 『Breakthrough』

With a wave of his hand, Yakumo opened... the ripples of his heart.

Heart Wave Master 0/1200 'Acceleration'

Tap lightly to accelerate by 120.

Gold coins: 71700-12000, 59700 remaining.

Today... he has no limits!

In an instant, the gold coins transformed into scalding energy inside his skull, and excruciating pain surged from the depths of his head, a sensation akin to molten lava being poured into his brain through his ears.

This ascension offered no spiritual perspective, only unbearable, agonizing pain that surged from the depths of my head in waves, lingering for a long time!

Due to the excruciating pain, Yakumo's body convulsed unnaturally, his skin broke out in a cold sweat, and his fists clenched tightly.

Ten minutes later, Yakumo's face turned pale and he was covered in cold sweat. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his face and had to admit that... his talent might have no limit, but his own body and mind did have... limits.

Heart Wave Master 1200/1200 'Acceleration'

Still shaken, Yakumo crawled out of the closet and went into the bathroom to wash herself.

A dozen minutes later, he crawled back into the wardrobe.

"I don't acknowledge... that I have limits!"

What cannot destroy you will only make you stronger. Mere mental fatigue is not worth it. Make this hardcore gamer submit!

Yakumo thought to himself somewhat neurotically.

Personal Skills

initiative:

Fog Burial Master 800/800 『Breakthrough』

Heart Wave Master 1200/1200 『Breakthrough』

Yakumo opened the fusion interface and dragged the two skills to the fusion interface. Mist Burial was on the left and Heart Wave was on the right, with two arrows in the center of the two.

Fusion.

Yakumo lightly tapped, and they merged.

[Note: This process requires three fusion scrolls of the same element. Currently, we do not have enough fusion scrolls of the same element!]

Yakumo stared at the bright red words "insufficient," his expression gradually losing control.

"Why wasn't this explained beforehand?!"

Yakumo's fist gradually hardened.

This is really making me emo...

A few minutes later, Yakumo calmed down.

Reopen the skills interface.

initiative:

Sage Mode Perfection 100/1600 'Acceleration'

Yakumo taps "Speed ​​Up" 150 times.

Gold coins: 59700-15000, 44700 remaining.

With a thud, he fainted, but not completely.

What comes into view is an incredibly vast forest, surrounded by towering trees hundreds of meters tall. The grass is a deep green, full of life, but there are no animals in this forest.
