Konoha's Mission Master

not enough!

Gradually reaching the limit.

Yugito is a gentle girl who will do her best to complete the orders given by the Raikage, so that she can be a useful ninja for Kumogakure.

The next second, the limit was broken.

A Tailed Beast Ball with a diameter of about one meter appeared.

Just then, a golden beam of light pierced through the thick, leaden fog, and the teak doll's eyes flashed with brilliance. She finally confirmed the enemy's location.

The traveler was about to roar, but was interrupted by the teakman.

The next second, the Tailed Beast Ball shot into the thick fog at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Jiraiya, who was fighting fiercely with Tsuchikage, noticed the Tailed Beast Ball that suddenly descended from the sky. His expression turned extremely ugly at a visible speed. As the main commander of Konoha, he was unaware that Kumogakure had secretly mobilized Jinchuriki!

The Tailed Beast Ball streaked through the air, gradually approaching the thick fog.

At the same time, the speed was also increasing rapidly. At this moment, Yakumo was engaged in a final battle with the Third Raikage under the cover of the mist, completely unaware of the arrival of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Until the Tailed Beast Ball collided with the Eternal Sleep Mist, the lead-gray fog was like snowflakes encountering lava, evaporating into nothingness at an extremely fast speed. Yakumo's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the Third Raikage who was desperately holding him back, and in an instant, he understood the whole story.

Yakumo was prepared to fight to the death today, but he never expected that the Third Raikage was also ready to gamble his life, even to the point of exchanging one life for another.

"This is going to be tough...oh no..."

Yakumo shook his head and smiled bitterly, directly slashing with his twin blades to knock away the Third Raikage. At this moment, the Tailed Beast Ball had already begun to spread, and at the same time, the energy containing high temperature was rapidly descending. At this time, running away would probably only lead to a faster death.

Yakumo swung her swords rapidly in the direction of the Tailed Beast Ball's spread, strands of golden arcs of electricity coiling around the blades of both weapons until the golden arcs gradually transformed into golden flames. The flames spread outwards, eventually evolving into a golden cocoon that enveloped Yakumo.

"Supreme Style: Reversal!"

Inside the golden cocoon, Yakumo gritted his teeth and desperately swung his twin swords.

Eighty cuts per second.

Ninety cuts per second.

One second, a hundred cuts!

Until it completely breaks through its own limits, the golden cocoon becomes brighter and more dazzling than ever before. At this moment, the energy of the Tailed Beast Ball spreads out, and the surrounding soil becomes nothingness at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Third Raikage entered the pre-prepared steel shell.

"Good heavens...who said the former Raikage is brave but reckless?"

The two energies clashed, causing dense ripples to spread across the surface of the golden cocoon. The entire barrier began to tremble precariously. Seeing this, Yakumo swung his twin blades even more vigorously to maintain the golden cocoon.

Click, click, click, click…

The spreading energy propelled Yakumo out of the barrier and into motion. The ground beneath his feet was gradually evaporated into nothingness. The steel shell that the Third Raikage had prepared in advance could not withstand the attack of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion... It gradually turned into molten iron and flowed. The Third Raikage used his physical body to resist the Tailed Beast Ball.

"This intensity is off..."

The Third Raikage murmured softly.

Click, click...

The sound of shattering glass rang out again, and dense cracks appeared on the golden cocoon. But Yakumo keenly noticed that the cracking sound came from the weapon in his hand.

The next second, Zhu Feng shattered... and exploded.

Having lost a weapon, the golden cocoon shattered after holding on for a few seconds, and Yakumo's body faced the final aftershocks of the Tailed Beast Ball.

On the other hand, the Third Raikage fared even worse.

The entire valley looked as if a giant beast had gnawed a bite out of it. The earthen wall formed by the accumulation of shockwaves on the outermost edge was far greater than the total number of craters created by Yakumo and the Third Raikage during this period. At this moment, Yakumo fully understood why the deterrent power of the Tailed Beasts was roughly equivalent to that of a nuclear bomb.

That night…

Inside the tent.

Yakumo was treating the necrotic skin on his body that had been roasted, and waves of stinging pain gradually made his face turn gloomy.

He was supposed to kill the Third Raikage today, but instead he failed and was tricked by the enemy. Since his rebirth, no one has ever made him suffer such an injustice.

Yakumo grew angrier the more he thought about it, a fire burning in his heart.

His gaze fell upon the Glorious Glory reagent displayed on the table.

Without hesitation, I picked up the syringe and started injecting.

The packaging material of the Glorious Glory reagent is very special; it did not break at all even under the high temperature caused by the Tailed Beast Ball explosion.

It is accompanied by a gentle, warm energy entering the body.

The necrotic muscles and skin on Yakumo's body peeled off and regenerated at an extremely rapid rate.

A dozen seconds later, Yakumo returned to his peak condition.

Yakumo took out a night outfit that he hadn't worn in a long time from his storage scroll.

"Third Raikage...you will die today!"

Chapter 186 Raikage Dies, Arena Cleared

The night is deep and quiet.

The tents deepest inside the Cloud Hidden Army camp were brightly lit.

At the four corners of the tent, there were four braziers, their orange-red flames illuminating the entire tent. The air was thick with the lingering stench of blood, and the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs also remained.

Sparks crackled and popped inside the brazier.

On a large wooden bed, two meters wide and three meters long, lay the Third Raikage, wrapped in white bandages like a mummy. Kneeling on the floor beside him was an even more robust figure, the Fourth Raikage… A.

The atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat oppressive, and not only the tent, but the entire Cloud Hidden Army camp felt extremely oppressive. The myth of invincibility in their hearts had crumbled, and a certain belief in certain victory was gradually wavering... They were no longer fearless of death.

"Cough cough..."

The Third Raikage coughed twice in a low voice.

"Ai, there's no need to be sad... this is the fate of a ninja."

The Third Raikage spoke, his voice deep and powerful, but the weakness in his voice was impossible to conceal. He was not only injured, but was nearing the end of his life and would die completely in a few days.

In today's battle, the Third Raikage's strongest spear broke, and he also lost his left arm and a large amount of blood. In addition, his body was exhausted, and his skin and muscles were burned by the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Father...how should we fight this war?"

The current A is the Fourth Raikage.

This afternoon, the first thing the Third Raikage did upon waking up was to announce the succession of the Raikage position to the high-ranking members of the Cloud Ninja. In that instant, A realized that his father was about to die.

"The Konoha guys are also badly injured. If we delay for another month and the other ninja villages cannot achieve a decisive victory within this month, then we should start to seek peace with Konoha. From now on, you will be the Raikage. You will bear the weight of the rise and fall of the entire Hidden Cloud Village on your shoulders. Do not let hatred blind you."

“Father, I understand.”

The Third Raikage tried to raise his right arm to comfort his son, but as he moved his arm, excruciating pain, like being cut by a knife or burned by fire, shot through his body, and the barely stitched wound gradually cracked open, oozing blood.

But he still calmly placed his hand on his son's shoulder and spoke with a kind expression, just like an ordinary father giving his son his final instructions.

"It is my dereliction of duty as a father to put you in such a heavy responsibility so early, but I firmly believe that my best son... can shoulder this responsibility."

"Please rest assured..."

The two chatted for a long time, and Ai didn't leave until almost midnight.

The Third Raikage stared at the patterns above his head, the excruciating pain within him tormenting him and preventing him from falling asleep.

"...Give me another sedative injection."

But no doctor's voice came from outside the tent.

A few seconds later, the tent's roll-up door was suddenly flung open from the outside.

A chilly, damp air rushed into the tent from outside.

Why didn't you answer?

The Third Raikage spoke with some dissatisfaction, but he keenly noticed something unusual. He couldn't sense the newcomer's footsteps or breathing; this was the perfect concealment that only a truly top-tier assassin could achieve.

A golden light flashed before his eyes, causing the Third Raikage's pupils to dilate in shock. He tried to struggle to his feet in disbelief, but the golden light was faster, and the slender dagger pierced his heart without any resistance.

The golden currents on the blade gradually damaged the Third Raikage's internal organs.

"Is it you...is it really you?"

Before his death, the Third Raikage murmured something.

“It was me… I told you… you would die today.”

[Congratulations, player! You have earned 1500 merit points.]

The black and white chains reappeared. Using the Yin-Yang Seal, Yakumo sealed the Third Raikage's corpse into a small black and white sphere. Yakumo then turned around, lifted the tent flap, and fled quickly under the cover of night.

In fact, he had been hiding outside for a long time. Thanks to the special nature of his concealment technique, no one could detect his hiding. He also sensed the Third Raikage's benevolent expression when he was giving his final instructions, but this did not shake his killing intent.

The fact that the ANBU responsible for protecting the Third Raikage had been killed could not be kept secret for long. Yakumo walked to the foot of the mountain under the cover of darkness. Behind him, in the Cloud Village military camp, bright white lightning chakra soared into the sky.

"Who is it!? Who is it!?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, roared deafeningly into the empty space, like a child driven to despair.

January 12th, Konoha Year 42.

The Third Raikage has fallen.

Suddenly, a light rain began to fall. The dense raindrops landed on the leaves and grass, and on Yakumo's shoulders, bringing a slight chill. Yakumo tightened his night clothes and rushed even faster toward the Konoha military camp.

Yakumo sneaked back into his tent in the Konoha military camp. Due to the Fourth Raikage's roar, there was some commotion in the Konoha military camp. Many ninjas stood in the rain looking at the military camp opposite, vaguely guessing what had happened.

The night clothes had just been changed out and hadn't been dealt with yet when Jiraiya lifted the tent flap and walked in, getting straight to the point.

"The Third Raikage was assassinated... You did it, didn't you?"

"Uh, that's right."

Yakumo did not deny it, after all, his wet shoes were the most direct and irrefutable evidence.

Jiraiya left in a hurry.

But he came back in less than half an hour later.
