Chapter 178 Meeting Chiyo, an Unexpected Person

Konoha Year 42, January 1st.

The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the tent onto the boy's face, and in the sunlight, every fine hair on his face was visible and had a lustrous sheen.

Yakumo sat up and called out the game interface.

Shopping completed.

Yakumo stretched and looked around the tent. His tent had a desk, a bed, and an incandescent lamp... but unfortunately, there was no wardrobe.

Wait... there's also under the bed.

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo headed towards Jiraiya's tent.

The Konoha military camp is generally circular, protecting the command center and medical department in the core, surrounded by sentries on duty 24 hours a day, and the outermost layer is a sensory barrier created by the barrier team.

It can be said to be foolproof.

When Yakumo walked down the street, most of the ninjas he encountered would look at him with gratitude, because Yakumo had saved their lives several times.

Midway through their journey, a ninja carrying a wounded soldier suddenly burst into the military camp from afar. Yakumo immediately smiled and created a shadow clone to head to the medical department.

After a month of hard work…

Merit Points: 63240

Half a minute later, Yakumo went straight into Jiraiya's tent, and the ANBU members on guard outside did not stop him.

This tent is much larger than Yakumo's tent. Inside, there is not only simple furniture such as a desk and a bed, but also a battlefield sand table about two meters high, as well as bookshelves for storing various books.

At this moment, Jiraiya was in the command post discussing the next strategy with Hiruzen Sarutobi. Yakumo created a shadow clone, while his main body naturally and skillfully slipped into the wardrobe.

"Damn it... Jiraiya didn't wash his socks again."

Skill Fusion

『1. Fog Burial』

『2. Heartbeat』

This process will consume three fusion scrolls of the same type.

Yes or No

No need to hesitate.

Yakumo nodded slightly... "Yes."

In an instant, Yakumo fainted.

The stars are brilliant and dazzling.

From his mental perspective, he witnessed firsthand the twisted and chaotic gods, carrying a thick, viscous fog that engulfed countless galaxies, as if the entire universe was falling into a fog, embracing evil and chaos.

In the mist, the wildness within the animals is awakened, making them extremely violent. Humans begin to gradually mutate; some grow ugly wings and fly into the sky, while others grow gill-like shapes behind their ears and sink into the deep sea.

Until the unspeakable gods devoured the world!

[Integration Successful]

Congratulations, player, on acquiring a new skill.

[Eternal Slumber Mist: The dark gray mist gradually grows by absorbing the enemy's life and spiritual energy, increasing its all-around suppression power. It also affects the enemy's mind, causing hallucinations, and ultimately leading to eternal slumber.]

[Note: The state of eternal sleep is irreversible.]

[Hint: Chakra consumption reduced by 50%]

[Hint: Coverage range increased by 650%]

Yakumo opened his eyes. He had just received a prompt from the game system and understood the various abilities of the Eternal Sleep Mist. Among them, the perception ability had not disappeared, but had been transformed into his own instinctive skills.

Personal Skills

Passive: Eternal Slumber Mist "Perfect"

This skill is powerful, and equally deadly. Through the footage of its upgrade, Yakumo is absolutely certain that this skill has a direct connection to some unspeakable evil god.

I'll tentatively blacklist you and avoid using your device if possible!

Yakumo left the wardrobe and found that it was already 10 a.m. He had been unconscious in the wardrobe for two hours. Yakumo planned to go back to his tent to wash up first, and then go to the center of the plain to meet Chiyo.

After washing up, Yakumo sat on the bed.

Holding the Demon-Subduing Sword, he began to strengthen it with the Essence Stone.

Black liquid swirled around the Demon-Subduing Blade, its surface emitting a faint light and occasionally shimmering with iridescent colors. Strands of black liquid slowly seeped into the blade, causing it to heat up and turn crimson, as if it were being forged in flames.

Ten pieces... twenty pieces... twenty-five pieces.

Inside the tent, a ribbon-like rainbow of stars swirled around the Demon-Subduing Blade. The black liquid that had melted the stars from the refined stone gradually dissipated, and the crimson blade cooled again after being tempered to remove impurities. The originally white blade became somewhat shiny...like a mirror.

[Subduing Demons]

Weapon type: Long sword (75.3 cm)

Increase rate: 133%

Enchantment: None

Yakumo casually swung his sword... Golden sword energy gradually rose and fell within the tent, instantly filling the entire space with a murderous aura, yet nothing inside the tent was damaged.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the command post.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya were waiting there.

"That old man Chiyo will not be in any danger seeing you this time. Tomorrow, Sunagakure will sue Konoha for peace."

Jiraiya said.

Yakumo nodded. Now that Sunagakure was completely dominating the main battlefield, and Sasori had fully regained his memories, she naturally had no reason to continue advocating for war.

"Understood." Yakumo nodded.

"Peace is precious; we must never let war break out..."

Jiraiya instructed.

"Of course I know."

A warm and gentle smile appeared on Yakumo's face.

Looking at Yakumo's smile, Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously rubbed his right shoulder. Some wounds, even though they had healed, would still ache slightly in certain situations.

"Um... Lord Third Hokage, when I get back, would you like me to treat you when I have some free time?"

Yakumo pointed to Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder and asked. Although the two were political rivals, they were not enemies, and now that war was approaching, they were on the same side.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his white beard.

Around noon, Yakumo headed towards the plains.

Vehicles delivering supplies and support have just arrived from afar.

Yakumo's expression suddenly turned grim. He immediately turned around because he sensed a very familiar chakra fluctuation among the group of supporting ninjas.

"Why are you here?" Yakumo asked in surprise.
