Konoha's Mission Master

Four kilometers away, Yakumo's shadow clone began to gradually gather power. This distance was far beyond Chiyo and Sasori's perception range, meaning that Sasori and Chiyo would have no way of noticing an attack at this distance.

Ten seconds later, the arrow was released.

In a few breaths, the water droplets traveled four kilometers and struck Chiyo's two arms behind her back.

Bang... like a glass bottle shattering, bone fragments mixed with blood splattered everywhere, Chiyo let out a painful groan, and then... her head lolled to the side and she fainted from the pain.

"Grandma, I told you... he's here."

Scorpion's expression remained unchanged, and he even spoke with a hint of pride to the unconscious Chiyo. At the same time, he controlled the puppet to carry the unconscious Chiyo on its back and suddenly accelerated towards the Land of Wind.

Yakumo's shadow clone did not continue to attack; in fact, this shadow clone only had the power for this one strike.

He told Jiraiya that this mission was decided, he was responsible for, and he would bear the consequences. Since Jiraiya didn't intend to kill Chiyo, he wouldn't... go for the kill.

"Interrupt the hands that are manipulating the puppet and forming hand seals..."

"Let's consider this... a small punishment as a warning."

Chiyo's arm was broken, but so was her career as a ninja. From then on, she would be unable to perform hand seals or control puppets.

*Thud...* Yakumo's shadow clone disappeared.

Rain-Hidden Village.

Yakumo opened his eyes under the bed and carefully recalled the memories in his mind. He found that the shadow clone had broken Chiyo's arms. This was a helpless move. If they had been closer... they might have been exposed because they had no cover.

Without further hesitation, Yakumo opened his personal panel.

Intelligence, Agility, and Strength all increase by one.

Now... as follows.

Strength: 43.6 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Agility: 44.2 (Neural reaction, running speed)

Intelligence: 47.9 (learning ability, mental resilience)

Yakumo clenched his fist slightly, feeling the power gradually surging within his body. Each quarterly reward greatly improved his physical attributes.

It is estimated that an increase of 1 point above 40 points will result in a greater attribute boost than an increase of 2 points below 10 points. This is the reason why the system is gradually reducing the acquisition of attribute points.

It was still early, and Yakumo couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for Enel, the Sky Island God, in the arena.

Then open the game panel.

[Enter the arena?]

Yes or no?

When Yakumo taps, 200 gold coins are deducted.

In the magnificent yet desolate arena, the wind chimes on the golden ship rang melodiously. Enel slowly opened his eyes and looked at the challengers below the stage.

The taiko drums sounded, signaling the start of war.

A blue lightning dragon burst forth from the sky, its length nearly a hundred meters, displaying its terrifying power without restraint. In an instant, the arena was filled with blue arcs of electricity…

However, the challenger easily found the Thunder Dragon's weak point and neutralized it with a simple swing of his sword, causing a burst of lightning to explode like blue raindrops.

Yakumo immediately closed in and threw a punch at Enel.

After more than forty failures, Yakumo determined that Enel had a certain kill threshold. When the kill threshold was reached, all attacks had to be used to quickly kill him, otherwise a full-map skill would be used... Thunderclap, violently clearing the screen.

We must finish off Enel before he's low on health.

As Yakumo approached Enel, he threw a black and white sphere on the ground, foreshadowing something that would happen later.

Enel was successfully injured by a violent backflip of his twin swords.

He then soared into the air, embodying the power of the Thunder God!

The blue giant, tens of meters tall, reappeared. It looked smaller than the Thunder Dragon, but it was more solid, and even every strand of its long blue hair was lifelike.

Enraged, Enel threw down his Thunder Spear!

With a burst of speed, Yakumo arrived at the feet of the Thunder Giant in an instant. This was a weak point in the Thunder Fist's attack, and after dozens of failures, he had long since figured out Enel's strength.

With his twin swords swirling in a rapid series of slashes, he successfully created a small-scale golden defensive barrier, which withstood the aftershocks of the exploding lightning spear.

The next second, a giant thunder fist descended from the sky.

Yakumo quickly dodged, his golden arcs of electricity concealed, as he swiftly evaded Enel's heavy punch.

Until the thunderous giants in the sky dissipate and Enel's energy is weakened, his attack power will be reduced by about one-third.

Yakumo charged towards Enel, running wildly...

"ten…"

"Nine…"

Successfully approaching the enemy, he crossed his twin blades and deflected Enel's golden staff, while three tiny, pitch-black balls floated up from the ground.

The white chains shot out from the small ball and then entered Enel's body at an extremely high speed. Enel's elemental transformation failed in the face of these white chains.

The three small balls form a triangle.

Eighteen chains pierced Enel's body.

"A mere mortal dares to kill a god?"

"seven…"

Enel let out a cold howl, his aura gradually being suppressed by the Yin-Yang Seal. This was Enel's weakest moment, and also Yakumo's only chance!

Yakumo swung his twin swords and plunged them into Enel's body. At that moment, he restrained all his lightning chakra and used only the sharpness of wind to shred his internal organs.

"Six...five...four..."

Enel coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, his eyes cold.

Yakumo continued to exert his power, his wind-type chakra being transformed into tiny wind blades as if it were free, piercing into Enel's body, a battle against time.

"Three...two...one!"

In the final second, during Enel's weakened state, after being battered by countless wind blades, Enel was extremely weak... This was the perfect opportunity to strike!

One second... determines life and death!

At that moment, Yakumo used the force of both arms to quickly draw his sword.

The blade swept across Enel's head...

Successful decapitation!

Yakumo was panting heavily…

In fact, if Enel is not weakened to a certain extent, recklessly decapitating him would trigger his invincibility, making him immune to decapitation damage and unleashing his full power...

Yakumo could only weaken Enel as much as possible with wind-style chakra, and then decapitate him with her weapon…

Just like he always said…

"It's just fighting a boss, anyone can do that!"

"I'm sorry... Enel."

The rewards for completing the level floated in mid-air.

PS: Requesting monthly votes.

Chapter 175 Daiguren Hyōrinmaru

Inside the ancient, empty arena.

Enel's headless corpse slowly dissipated, turning into pale blue specks of light that swirled around Yakumo before surging into the sky and coalescing into a blue energy sphere.

Electric arcs flowed across the surface of the blue sphere, and inside, deep blue plasma seemed to surge. The sphere contracted and expanded, like a heart made entirely of energy.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Yakumo swallowed hard.

Each jump releases a burst of blue electric arcs.

Yakumo raised his hand and lightly tapped the blue sphere.

Congratulations to the player for winning the reward: Heart of Thunder.

[Note: This item has no side effects. After fusion, it can increase the player's lightning elemental power, but due to losses during the extraction and fusion process, the increase is weaker than that of the entire Rumble-Rumble Fruit.]

"Collect and merge."

The collection will be integrated in the future.

Integration means integrating now.

Without hesitation, Yakumo gently tapped the fusion button.

The Thunder Heart hovered in mid-air, the surrounding air slightly distorted, and two blue chains extended out, like octopuses in hunting mode, piercing into Yakumo's body with lightning speed. They were called chains... but they were more like two blue straws, and deep blue plasma inside the sphere slowly injected into Yakumo's body.

"It hurts...it hurts...it hurts so much..."

Every inch of skin, every muscle, including the internal organs, seemed to be burning, as if being roasted on a raging fire. This was the process of rebirth, and pale blue arcs of electricity gradually danced on Yakumo's body.

Outside... Yakumo's physical form is also undergoing changes.

The shadow clone on the bed peeked out and saw that the main body's aura was gradually increasing under the bed, with pale blue arcs of electricity leaping from its body. Instantly, the shadow clone realized that Enel had been successfully defeated.

Inside the arena.

Yakumo subconsciously tried to break free of the blue chains, but found that his entire body had lost the energy to move. At this moment, he could clearly feel himself getting stronger, but... the process was like being shattered to pieces and then reassembled.

As time passed, Yakumo seemed to die...

Enveloped in pale blue arcs of electricity, like a giant cocoon nurturing life, Yakumo was curled up and sleeping peacefully inside. The Thunder Heart in mid-air had completely merged with Yakumo.

Thump...thump...thump.

In the desolate and empty arena, the sound of war drums suddenly rose higher and higher, becoming increasingly dense and stirring, as if controlling the rhythm of war.

thump—

Yakumo opened his eyes, and the drumming sound was actually Yakumo's heartbeat. Pale blue arcs of electricity surged and gradually extended into his body, his bones making a crisp sound.
