Konoha's Mission Master

Clearly, she had already sensed the fact that the vanguard team had been wiped out in a second through some kind of secret technique.

Yakumo quickly left the area, and the surrounding trees gradually collapsed. Even the shrubs were shaved bald by the powerful blade energy. It all seemed like a dream.

“Let’s go…it’s settled,” Yakumo said.

Aoyama Reiko's figure emerged from the shadows, her eyes filled with undisguised shock. In fact, after Yakumo left, she was somewhat worried, so she followed behind him and witnessed Yakumo annihilate the enemy in one move.

At that moment, Yakumo resembled a celestial being from a folk tale... He could change the world with a wave of his hand. Even the Sage of Six Paths, who single-handedly founded the Ninja Clan, was no more than this.

"Alright... let's go, Sister Qingshan."

Yakumo reached out and pulled the dazed Aoyama Reiko back to the medical unit's base in the distance. By this time, they had been awakened by the sounds of battle and remained silent, each gripping their weapons on guard.

"The attackers have all been dealt with. Now that everyone is awake... I've decided to set off tonight in five minutes!"

Reiko Aoyama had already regained her usual aloof and proud demeanor. She did not explain the battle that had just taken place, but instead gave a commanding order to everyone in a majestic voice.

Five minutes later, the group set off.

in the forest.

Chiyo was leading the puppet mobile force in their retreat, her back view no longer composed, but rather somewhat disheveled.

Yakumo's undisguised attack caused Chiyo to feel that familiar yet deadly chakra fluctuation several kilometers away.

She looked down at her lifeless wooden puppet-like prosthetic arm and couldn't help but recall her encounter at the border of the Land of Wind. A chill ran down her spine. The mysterious powerhouse who had severely injured Sasori with one blow and shattered her arm with another was actually from Konoha!

At this moment, she was aware of the impending war…

I have absolutely no confidence.

A sudden, dull pain shot through her shoulder; this was a sign that her body was adapting to the puppet prosthetic, a process in which she couldn't exert her full strength.

She and Ebizo also guessed that the lack of protection for the medical unit might be a bait from Konoha, but this bait was too tempting...

I must try it out first before I'm satisfied.

The next day, at 10 a.m.

Led by Reiko Aoyama, the medical team arrived at the vanguard's base. Because the tents had not yet arrived, the ninjas were living in earthen houses made of earth-style ninjutsu. Although sturdy, they were dark, oppressive, and completely oppressive.

The same situation occurred in the Sand Village area, dozens of kilometers away.

Yakumo climbed up the hillside and looked out over the plain.

"The fluctuations of the heart."

The plains were covered in lush green grass, with butterflies fluttering around the wildflowers. Yet, beneath this vibrant landscape lay hidden sentries and guards, the two factions wary of each other.

There are also all sorts of murder traps.

On the Sand Village side, there are two people whose chakra has reached the Kage level. Judging from their aura, they are Sasori and Chiyo. As for Ebizo, the advisor who has the power of intelligence and espionage, he only has the strength of an elite Jonin.

Konoha's high-level combat force consists of Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, as well as elite Jonin-level Reiko Aoyama and strong members of the Aburame clan.

Parasitic insects can devour chakra threads, hindering the puppeteer's control over the puppet. They can also damage the puppet's joints and mechanisms by gnawing on them, rendering the puppet immobile and incapable of fighting. They are a natural nemesis.

In terms of both numbers and strength, Konoha has the advantage.

This is why the Third Kazekage wanted to seek peace; mainly because he couldn't win, and who would be willing to back down if they could?

[Ding-dong! Player has triggered a war-themed questline.]

The war series is divided into two categories.

"Salvation." or "Slaughter."

Yakumo taps lightly.

"Saving: Healing friendly units earns merit points."

Killing: Killing enemy soldiers earns merit points.

[Tip: After the battle, merit points can be used to purchase many valuable items in the merit shop.]

"Simple and straightforward as always."

After rereading the instructions several times, Yakumo suddenly remembered that a squad and Sunagakure had been injured that morning. He quickly jumped down the hillside; those people were walking merit points.

Inside the temporary medical unit outpost.

Reiko Aoyama is using a technique to extract the fine lesions from a patient on the hospital bed. The earthen house is filled with the stench of blood due to poor ventilation.

Yakumo put on his mask at the door before entering the house.

Today, a total of fifteen squads encountered Sunagakure, resulting in seven deaths and seventeen injuries of varying degrees.

At this moment, the seven people lying in the medical base were the most severely poisoned. The poison they had been afflicted with was a new type of toxin researched by Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure. It was extremely potent and corrosive.

"bump."

Six shadow clones appeared.

Treatment began on the remaining patients, and when someone tried to stop them, Reiko Aoyama spoke up in time.

"His medical ninjutsu is already no weaker than mine."

Although the crowd did not believe him, they did not stop him.

Under the influence of the blue light, the remaining toxins in the patient's body were gradually cleared. This toxin... Yakumo had seen it in Jiraiya's body before, so he was very familiar with how to deal with it this time.

Half an hour later, all six patients recovered.

Hint: You have gained 60 merit points.

"Treat him... at ten o'clock?"

It's a pity there were only these few wounded...

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, Yakumo tossed his white gloves into the nearby trash can and walked away without looking back; the air in the stone house was truly unpleasant.

"Next time... remember to call me if there are any injured people."

"Uh-huh…"

Everyone nodded subconsciously. This was the benefit of talent or strength. When Yakumo displayed medical ninjutsu equivalent to Aoyama Reiko, no one dared to underestimate him, no matter how young he was.

Yakumo leaned against a tree trunk, his gaze towards the distant Sunagakure camp gradually turning sinister. There, compared to countless merit points, all he needed was a grand explosion and a ruthless massacre to gain a massive amount of merit points.

But those weren't monsters in a game; they were living, breathing human lives. Although he couldn't avoid killing, he still didn't want to go on a killing spree. The massacre of the lower-ranking Marines in the pirate world kept him awake for several nights.

"Killing... is not a good thing."

Bright stars converge into a vibrant ocean of colors, colliding and clashing within the field of vision like pulses of some kind of energy.

Yakumo's eyes can capture colors that normal people cannot see, which makes his world more colorful and vibrant, and also more thorough and real.

Suddenly, Yakumo sensed a murderous intent approaching.

Someone was quietly approaching from behind him, and the person was deliberately suppressing their chakra fluctuations, even their footsteps were deliberately hidden.

The person who came... is an enemy, not a friend.

Yakumo continued gazing at the starry sky…

They seemed unaware of the enemy's approach.

This person is a spy planted by Sunagakure within Konoha. Because Yakumo displayed medical abilities comparable to Aoyama Reiko this afternoon, Ebizo specifically targeted him and issued an assassination order.

The next second, a whooshing sound came.

A short blade coated with deadly poison pierced Yakumo's back.

The enemy was very fast, closing in on Yakumo in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, golden specks of light appeared around the enemy. The brightness of the golden specks gradually increased, and then they were connected by electric arcs.

It's like a giant net woven from thunder.

With a sizzling sound.

The assassin collapsed to the ground, paralyzed.

Yakumo jumped down from the tree branch, used Yin-Yang Sealing Technique to seal the enemy's chakra, then lifted him up and handed him over to Jiraiya to deal with.

The next day, Konoha launched a full-scale attack. The plains were filled with the sounds of clashing ninjutsu and exploding tags. A faint smell of blood gradually spread, and blood stained the plains red.

In the ensuing battle, casualties increased dramatically.

Yakumo was both pained and happy as he busied himself with the medical unit, but these were just shadow clones. His real body, meanwhile, was secretly reaping the enemies on the battlefield during the fighting.

While slacking off, Yakumo discovered that enemies at the Genin level are worth 1 merit point, enemies at the Chunin level are worth 3 merit points, only Jonin level enemies are worth 10 merit points, and healing is a constant 10 merit points per person.

Killing is not as good as saving lives.

"It seems I'm destined to be a medical ninja for the rest of my life."

As Yakumo's accumulated merit points gradually increased, he was truly exhausted yet incredibly happy, and he charged full of energy to the front lines of the rescue.

After the battle, Konoha and Sunagakure held their meetings at different times.

Collect the corpses in the center of the battlefield.

Chiyo and Yakumo's covert battles were equally intense. Every day, Sunagakure would use a new type of deadly poison, and Yakumo's task was to eliminate it using the technique of extracting the subtle ailments.

During this period, Yakumo neutralized more than twenty new types of deadly poisons for Chiyo, making Chiyo furious. With Yakumo's help, Konoha achieved remarkable results.

In fact, some people in Konoha have already called Yakumo the "Medical Saint."

Heroes are most likely to emerge during times of war, provided that the person can influence the outcome of a battle or save the day at a critical moment.

Clearly... Yakumo orchestrated a war, and he became a prime assassination target for Sunagakure. Unfortunately, what puzzled Sunagakure was that... no matter what kind of assassins they sent, they would mysteriously disappear shortly after accepting the mission...

Inside the tent, Yakumo patted the dozens of black and white balls inside his ninja tool pouch and remained silent. If Sunagakure continued to send people to their deaths, this ninja tool pouch would really be overflowing.

End of Konoha 41...

Chiyo sent a message to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

She planned to engage the two armies in the middle of the plains…

He arranged a private meeting with the new generation of medical sage, Ii Yakumo.

And guarantee that... you will not absolutely launch an attack.

Regarding this...

Hiruzen Sarutobi readily agreed.
