Konoha's Mission Master

Page 153

The blue natural energy is almost visible to the naked eye, transforming into a blue veil hanging on trees, bushes, and grass. The surrounding environment is extremely quiet, with only the rustling of the branches in the breeze.

Until… a pure white figure appeared at the edge of the forest. That figure walked through the entire forest on foot. Along the way, he would stroke the giant trees to distinguish the differences between them. He would lie quietly on the grass to observe the movement of the stars in the sky. He would bathe in the river and bend down to drink the crystal-clear spring water from the stream.

But he... was only learning, waiting for the day when the truth would be revealed. Finally, when he clearly understood the location of every blade of grass and every tree in the forest, his figure transformed into a black hole, wantonly devouring the pale blue natural energy between heaven and earth.

Nature begins to get angry and roar.

The thick tree roots lashed out at the figure like giant pythons, but he dodged them all; the leaves were like deadly arrows.

At this moment, the entire forest was filled with a terrifying killing intent.

Half an hour later…

The figure had a blood-red immortal mark on its forehead, which increased from three drops of water to five. The largest drop also contained a lightning mark. The mark continued to grow, and the final mark resembled a five-pointed star.

Inside the bedroom, Yakumo opened her eyes.

initiative:

Sage Mode Perfection 1600/1600 『Breakthrough』

Yakumo made a light breakthrough without any hesitation.

He had been saving up ten Master-level scrolls during this time, waiting for this very moment to upgrade his Sage Mode.

[Note: This upgrade requires eight Master-level Breakthrough Scrolls. Due to the rarity of these items, please make your choice carefully.]

Yakumo was pleasantly surprised. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, the high cost of improvement meant that he would receive an invaluable reward.

Yes or no?

"Of course, the answer is yes!"

The next second, he fainted.

Half an hour later, Yakumo opened his eyes.

During the process of ascending to Sage Mode, he only saw an incredibly dazzling white light, as if it were born from an extremely distant location and shot into his body and soul at an extreme speed. In the face of that power, he felt his soul and body gradually shattering, yet also feeling incredibly full.

This was both devastation and fulfillment. In that moment, he seemed to have lost all emotion and become a high and mighty immortal, looking down on the suffering of the world without being moved.

Yakumo quickly shook his head.

The three holy lands of the ninja world are otherworldly and aloof, much like the immortals in certain novels who seek immortality by retiring to the mountains.

With the improvement of Sage Mode…

Yakumo finally understood that the true purpose of Gamamaru of Mount Myōboku in revealing the truth about the Divine Tree, helping Hamura Ōtsutsuki, and sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was to prevent the Divine Tree from continuing to devour natural energy and nurture a second fruit.

The Otsutsuki clan, or the three great holy lands, only care about natural energy, and the Divine Tree is equivalent to a converter of natural energy. This also explains why the land loses its vitality after the Divine Tree is removed, and gradually turns into hills and deserts.

As for humans…

Perhaps they just see them as inferior beings?

At this moment, the skill panel appears.

initiative:

Sage Mode Master 0/2400 'Speed Up'

Inside the bedroom, Yakumo came to the bed and began to gather and absorb the surrounding natural energy, fusing it with Sage Chakra.

Master-level Sage Mode, even faster absorption speed!

Three minutes later, a fairy mark appeared on his forehead.

Yakumo brings up his personal interface.

[Personal Interface]

Name: Jing Bayun

Age: 9

Constitution: 50.9 + 6 (Endurance, Resistance, Recovery)

Strength: 39.7 + 6 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Agility: 41.4 + 6 (Neural reaction, running speed)

Intelligence: 43.9 + 6 (learning ability, mental resistance)

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

The Yakumo Sage Mode has increased the boost to all attributes from 3 points at the Perfect level to 6 points now.

This is a qualitative leap, no wonder the three holy lands are so strict in controlling the inheritance of the immortal mode.

Fifty minutes later, the Sage Mark on Yakumo's forehead disappeared. Of course, if a fierce battle breaks out, this time will be greatly shortened.

Now there's only one last step left, and that is power!

Currently, there are 3 points of natural attribute remaining.

Increase strength by 0.2.

Strength: 39.7 → 39.9 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

〖hint!〗

This upgrade requires Spirit Awakening Scrolls.

The body's strength has reached its maximum potential.

[Awakening Scrolls can be exchanged for Grandmaster Scrolls.]

Yakumo easily closed the notification interface, clicked "Exchange," and the Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll was exchanged for an Awakening Scroll. The plus sign reappeared after the Strength attribute.

Yakumo taps lightly, Strength +1.3

Strength: 39.9 → 41.1 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Warm energy filled his limbs and bones, and Yakumo could clearly feel his muscle strength rapidly increasing, so he couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.

A few minutes later, Yakumo opened his eyes.

Yakumo's physical attributes have all reached Kage level, and her body is incredibly harmonious and unified. She has finally made up for her last weakness. This feeling makes Yakumo even more determined to allocate her points evenly. After all, the real world is different from the game world. There are no resurrection coins, and you only have one life!

Currently, there are 1.5 points remaining in the free attribute.

Yakumo decided on 0.8 Strength and 0.7 Agility.

Strength: 41.1 → 41.9 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Agility: 41.4 → 42.1 (Neural reaction, running speed)

At the same time, as Yakumo's physical attributes all reach 40 points or more, a brand new interface appears in the game.

[Personal Panel] [Personal Skills]

[Dungeon World] [Weapon Interface]

Yakumo didn't check the instance world immediately; instead, he checked his remaining gold coins.

Gold coins: 44700.

These coins could upgrade Sage Mode to Master-level perfection, but Yakumo had other ideas.

That's chakra level.

Currently, Yakumo only has Kage-level chakra reserves. In several major battles, he has already run out of chakra. Now, he is more like an assassin attacking Kaga Sakura.

This won't do. The dungeon is about to open, and we must improve our strength as much as possible, but Yakumo is at a loss as to which skill to improve.

Sealing Technique: Yin-Yang Seal.

Chakra level.

Currently, there are not enough master-level breakthrough scrolls, and the upper limit of Yin-Yang Seal is the Perfect level, which cannot cause a fundamental qualitative change. In the end, Yakumo decided on the amount of chakra.

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

Yakumo taps lightly, accelerating 147 times.

Almost instantly, the chakra surged and churned, the speed of chakra flow in the meridians gradually increased, flushing through all the tissues in the body, and spreading at an extremely fast speed, even trying to tear open the seal inside the body.

Yakumo immediately began to guide the flow of chakra in an interesting way, transforming it from violent to docile, gradually shedding its savagery and transforming it into energy that Yakumo could handle with ease.

A dozen minutes later…

Yakumo opened the interface with a satisfied and joyful expression. The feeling of gradually becoming stronger through one's own efforts was truly captivating... and she lingered there, reluctant to leave.

Chakra: 940 (1700 to become the God of Shinobi)

Gold coins: 30000.

Yakumo plans to take a nap first. As for how to use the remaining gold coins, she'll decide after checking the dungeon quests tomorrow. She's not sure how many gold coins will be deducted as a penalty for dying in a dungeon. If she doesn't have enough gold coins, the game system might just wipe her out.

Chapter 160 Dungeon World: Marineford War I

early morning.

Yakumo got up, dressed, and went to the washroom. After a quick wash, he sat down at the table and ate the breakfast prepared by his shadow clone.

Seaweed rice rolls, simple, and pickled vegetables.

At this point, he finally began to examine the instance world.

[Dungeon World]

'Draw a copy' or 'Enter a copy'.

Currently, he only has one chance to draw.

Yakumo taps "Draw Dungeon"

Suddenly, a golden turntable appeared before them, its pointer made of purple gemstones, surrounded by swirling mist.
