Konoha's Mission Master

As Aoyama Reiko enjoyed Yakumo's treatment and listened to his explanations, a bright light gradually appeared in her eyes. Coincidentally, chakra manipulation was her specialty.

“I want to give it a try…” Reiko Aoyama said.

“Actually, I can do this process myself. I can make this dangerous process incredibly safe through the subtle control of the Palm Healing Technique… but…” Yakumo hesitated.

During this period, his treatment for Mori Masako every night was this process, and this treatment was very serious.

However, in order to achieve the best treatment effect, he still touched Mori Masako's entire body... This is also the reason why Yakumo originally did not tell Aoyama Reiko.

Yakumo didn't want the pure sibling relationship to become tainted, after all, he was a decent person!

"Just what?"

Reiko Aoyama pressed on somewhat eagerly.

"During the strengthening process, it is inevitable that..."

Yakumo explained to Reiko Aoyama, whose face quickly turned crimson.

At that moment, an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

"No problem... I can do it to become stronger!"

A few seconds later, Reiko Aoyama replied.

Yakumo was taken aback. Aoyama Reiko was clearly not a casual person, after all, she had been single for over thirty years, unless this consent was premeditated.

In that instant, he understood many things. He treated Aoyama Reiko as his older sister, but Aoyama Reiko's feelings for him seemed to be...not so pure.

"I will only be devoted to Masako Mori!"

Yakumo thought to himself.

This world is one where the strong are respected, and the weak naturally admire the strong. Moreover, he had several experiences of being a hero and saving the damsel in distress. It was only because Yakumo was rather clumsy in matters of the heart that he failed to notice Aoyama Reiko's special feelings.

"Come to my place tonight?"

"No, no, no..." Yakumo quickly shook his head. After all, the game system would be updating the anniversary event tonight, and a new interface might be released then. Yakumo was extremely looking forward to it.

A look of disappointment flashed in Reiko Aoyama's eyes.

"It will be done tomorrow at noon in the hospital office. It will need to be done in many sessions; it's impossible to do it all at once."

Yakumo thought for a moment and then answered.

"it is good."

Reiko Aoyama nodded in agreement.

"Shall we have dinner together?"

"No, I'm going to Kakashi Hatake's house later, so I'll just have dinner there...that's fine."

"Ok."

A few minutes later, Yakumo withdrew the light from the Palm Healing Technique.

"Sister Qingshan, this hand needs to rest. Don't practice martial arts for a while."

"I know."

Reiko Aoyama nodded obediently. Since there was an easier way, she wasn't going to be foolish enough to ask for trouble.

After giving a few more instructions, Yakumo jumped off the edge of the rooftop. Of course, he wasn't suicidal; he just wanted to increase his travel speed.

Reiko Aoyama stood on the edge of the rooftop, quietly watching Yakumo use his chakra to dissipate the force of his fall just before he hit the ground, then leap across the distance of several dozen meters like a giant bird.

Suddenly, she felt the wind was very gentle tonight.

A gentle breeze blew by, and her long, black hair fluttered in the wind.

Aoyama Reiko smiled.

…………

After having dinner at the Hatake residence, Yakumo walked home with Mori Masako. They held hands, but the atmosphere was somewhat somber. He had already decided to help Aoyama Reiko with her cell activation, but he didn't intend to tell Mori Masako. After all, telling her would be tantamount to suicide, and he hadn't even lived yet…

At this moment, I felt a little guilty.

"Did you go see Sister Qingshan today?"

"That's right, I performed several surgeries with her..."

"I will always be with you," Masako Mori whispered.

Yakumo obediently confessed to Mori Masako and explained the situation.

After hearing Yakumo's explanation, Masako Mori chuckled softly, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

"Aren't you angry?" Yakumo asked foolishly.

"It's not your fault that you're becoming more and more likable."

Masako Mori chuckled lightly, revealing her sharp canine teeth.

The two returned to Yakumo's house and began their usual gentle recuperation treatment. This was a better approach given that a complete cure was not possible. Half an hour later, Mori Masako left.

"Although the disease has not worsened during this period, I have no confidence in recovering. Actually, it's good that someone else likes you, so that after I die, someone else will take care of you."

Standing on the street, Masako Mori gazed at the bright lights of the Yakumo residence and spoke softly. It was precisely because she was prepared for death that she was able to be so open-minded about everything.

The Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans all have very strange thought processes, so it's normal for Mori Masako to have such thoughts. After all... there's a lot of fun in having a mentally challenged child.

Yakumo excitedly began wrapping up his daily and weekly tasks.

After all, the second anniversary celebration is just around the corner.

It's 11:30 PM.

Yakumo burned incense, took a bath, and changed his clothes.

His mind gradually emptied, and he suddenly understood.

Emotions... this is a cardinal sin for gaming gods!

He sat quietly on the bed and opened the system interface.

"Anniversary celebration, limited-time events, more than just flash sales!"

As expected...

Unfortunately, he is very poor now and only has 8300 gold coins.

Anniversary Limited-Time Special Offer Shop!

"If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year!"

The limited-time shop features player-exclusive items!

Don't miss it!

Breaking news! The Arena is now open!

Yakumo opened the anniversary shop with practiced ease, purchased a fusion scroll of the same type, and then immediately began to check out the exclusive player benefit items.

Tears of the Nile

Item Description: Legend has it that the tears shed by the ancient Egyptian pharaohs when they witnessed the murder of their beloved contained a strong power of death from the underworld.

It will cause an instant death effect upon hitting an enemy!

Item restriction: Enemy's constitution attribute is below 45 points.

Number of props: 1

Item Price: 1000 Gold Coins (Player Exclusive)

This thing is essentially a weapon that can kill with a single blow.

The item is good... but the cap is a bit low. However, as an exclusive benefit for players, the price of 1000 gold coins is quite reasonable.

Is there any need to hesitate?

Absolutely not...

It's not like we don't have money!

Gold coins: 1700 → 700.

"Buy."

A transparent quartz glass test tube appeared in Yakumo's hand, containing a drop of purple liquid. Occasionally, silvery-white light would shimmer in the liquid, like a brilliant star.

But this breathtaking, star-like color is actually the power of death from the underworld—truly wondrous.

Currently, apart from the Third Raikage, a brute who specializes in physical strength, none of the Kage from the major ninja villages in the ninja world should be able to resist this tear from the Nile.

"Ah, praise to the Pharaoh, praise to Atum!"

Yakumo stored the Nile's tears in a storage scroll.

Close the anniversary rewards page.
