Konoha's Mission Master

How many people could possibly survive within a 600-meter radius?

"If all these people die and I'm still alive... Onoki, will you regret your decision today!?"

Yakumo questioned sharply, taking a step forward.

"Everything, for Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village), for the Land of Earth!"

"I have absolutely no regrets!"

Yakumo took another step forward.

A divine mark appeared on his forehead, and an overwhelming aura radiated outwards.

Despite Yakumo's overwhelming aura, Onoki's expression remained resolute, like an unshakeable rock.

"You can activate Sage Mode in an instant!"

Old Zi exclaimed in surprise.

"One last question: how did you know I was here?"

"you guess…"

Onoki smiled slightly, appearing unfathomable.

"Because I can change the course of the battle, I am naturally under surveillance."

Yakumo analyzed thoughtfully.

In mid-air, Onoki fell silent, for what Yakumo said was true.

"Since that's the case... then let's fight."

"Prepare for the attack as planned."

Onoki gradually gathered energy in his hands, a sign that he was about to use Dust Release. When all the energy gathered into a bright white triangular cone, he did not attack immediately but waited for the perfect moment to strike.

"Lava Release Chakra Mode!"

Old Purple let out a loud shout, his power spreading outwards, and heat waves radiated in all directions. From within his body, Yakumo could faintly hear the roar of a giant beast.

Lava gradually covered the body's surface, with golden magma flowing between the cracks. The surrounding ninjas instinctively moved away from Rōshi, and from a distance, it looked like a breathing volcano.

Yakumo flexed his wrists and clasped his hands together.

"Wood Release:..."

The words "Wood Release" instantly raised Onoki and Roshi's guard to the highest level. Having experienced the first year of Konoha, they deeply understood the terror of this bloodline limit.

Onoki subconsciously increased his flying altitude.

Old Purple added two layers of Lava Release defense to his body.

"Wood Release: Tree World..."

"bump."

Yakumo turned into smoke and dissipated.

"Reverse psychic techniques?"

Onoki asked somewhat uncertainly.

"It seems so...it should be..."

Roshi deactivated Lava Release Chakra Mode, and at the same time, Onoki descended from the sky, and the two arrived at the location where Yakumo was.

"Did they escape...?" Old Zi asked.

"I don't know."

"What...do we do next?"

Rōshi and Ōnoki grew up together at the same time, and when it came to using their brains, Rōshi admitted that he was no match for Ōnoki, who was a bit short.

"Retreat, what else can we do?"

Onoki slowly rose up and waved his hand to give the order.

retreat.

"Do you think he really mastered Wood Release?"

"Of course not." Onoki shook his head firmly.

It's just a bluff.

The next second, where Yakumo was standing.

The earth churned, revealing thick tree roots that sprouted green shoots the moment they came into contact with the air.

These green shoots trembled slightly as if breathing, then suddenly expanded into huge trees, while growing thick vines, all because no one was controlling them.

These trees did not show any aggression; they simply continued to spread towards the sky, and the surrounding air instantly became incredibly fresh.

Hundred-meter-long vines hung down from the branches, and the huge canopy temporarily obscured the azure sky. Onoki stood there, stunned, looking at the extremely familiar scene in his eyes, and murmured something.

"This child... may have already become the god of the ninja world."

"Can we really kill him?"

On the other hand, Yakumo opened his eyes.

Adapting to the oppressive feeling of reverse psychic magic.

Seven figures were crouching or lying on the tree trunks in the distance.

"Reverse psychic techniques".

“Good brother, Yakumo…” Obito murmured.

At this moment, Milk Ball had transformed into a giant bear, except that the fur on its chest was slightly charred, as if it had been burned by fire.

Fortunately... Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara only suffered minor injuries.

"Hey, which of you bullied my little bear?"

These seven people are the strongest assassination squad in Kirigakure.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

"Is this a bear cub?" Raiga Kurosu asked, puzzled.

"of course."

Milkball meowed and its body shrank rapidly... In less than a few seconds, it transformed into a tiny kitten no more than forty centimeters long, perched on the tree trunk, and somewhat disgruntledly used its front paws to clean the charred parts on its chest.

"You are... Jing Yakumo?"

The one who spoke was Suigetsu Hozuki, who had long brown hair, a mouthful of sharp teeth, and small but fierce eyes.

"Yes."

Yakumo nodded.

"withdraw!"

Without any hesitation, Suigetsu Hobutsu gave the order.

He came to carry out a mission, not to die. Everyone knows their own situation. Although the group can temporarily fight against a Kage-level opponent, it doesn't mean they are qualified to fight the villain who killed the Third Raikage.

"That won't do, unless you tell me what mission you're here on."

Yakumo asked casually, "The mission is to protect information that ninjas must safeguard. Few ninjas would betray precious information to save their own lives. His real intention is to annihilate the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist here."

As expected, upon hearing Yakumo's question, Biwa Juzo immediately drew his guillotine, and the surrounding crowd prepared to attack.

The hot-tempered Raiga Kurozuki is also imbued with lightning.

Yakumo grasped Fuma and Kaiyo.

"Our mission is to assassinate Kakashi and frame Iwagakure."

Suigetsu Hobuki revealed the mission information for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist without any expression, showing no regard for his teammates whose faces were gradually darkening.

"Pufferfish Demon, how dare you betray the village!"

"Isamu said angrily, while brandishing his Executioner's Blade and holding it in front of Suigetsu Hozuki, as if the two were about to fight."

"I'm on a mission, not here to die!"

"That's what Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon said with complete confidence."

Clang... The double-edged sword is drawn.

"Kakashi, watch closely..."

"What?" Kakashi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The next few moves will be very cool and powerful. If you can understand them, your strength will definitely improve."

Yakumo was ready for battle, but Milk Ball's chakra was limited and he could not maintain the Reverse Summoning Technique for long.

"Fleeting Light".

Golden light shot straight down, traveling a kilometer per second.

Everyone else saw only the golden light, but Kakashi was different; he saw something more—a corner of an infinite world.

That was an opportunity to further improve his swordsmanship.

In the blink of an eye, the user of the Twin Blades - Flounder was beheaded.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist went from being full of confidence to being terrified, with some even subconsciously distancing themselves from the enemy.

If Yakumo can kill them instantly, then one of them can naturally kill the other six instantly as well.

A divine mark appeared on his forehead.

With a burst of power from his legs, Yakumo leaped more than ten meters, like a large bird gliding low in the sky. Yet, his leap was completely silent. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Kurosuki Raiga.

"Broken Void".

The demon-subduing blade slashed down, its pure white body ablaze with golden flames.

The blade roared; this strike was powerful and heavy.

A look of surprise flashed across Raiga Kurozumi's eyes.
