Konoha's Mission Master

"Sigh..." Jiraiya sighed deeply.

"Orochimaru massacred a city on the border of the Land of Earth a few days ago as a sacrifice. He is now on the Hidden Stone Village's kill list. In addition, Konoha has announced to the ninja world that Orochimaru has defected."

Jiraiya sighed.

“He deserved to die, with a city and hundreds of thousands of people.”

Upon hearing this, both Tsunade and Jiraiya fell silent.

Even though they knew Orochimaru was doing something that would incur the wrath of heaven and the hatred of the people, they couldn't bring themselves to do something like betraying their own family. Jiraiya and Tsunade's idea was to take Orochimaru back to Konoha and imprison him.

"Jiraiya and I plan to take Orochimaru back to Konoha and imprison him for life."

Tsunade began, "This is a long-standing practice. In the ninja world, most ninjas who commit crimes are simply imprisoned with their chakra sealed. In the heat of battle, these criminals even have the possibility of redeeming themselves and regaining their freedom..."

"We cannot remain indifferent to evil."

Yakumo's tone was firm.

If Orochimaru only lusts after his body... out of respect for Tsunade and Jiraiya, beating him half to death would appease Yakumo. But disturbing his parents' peace in the underworld, Yakumo... cannot tolerate that.

Jiraiya was about to speak again... but was interrupted by Yakumo...

"Your compassion for Orochimaru doesn't mean he'll show you mercy after we've met..."

Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance.

In the end... everyone finished eating Kushina Uzumaki's food and parted on bad terms.

Jiraiya and Tsunade failed to reach an agreement with Yakumo.

That night, the anniversary celebration quietly began.

Anniversary Limited-Time Special Offer Shop!

"If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year!"

The limited-time shop features player-exclusive items!

Don't miss it!

Breaking News! Real-time Dungeon Launch Announcement!

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo clicked on the preview of the real-life dungeon.

[A true-to-life instance, where time flows at the same pace as the ninja world. Players can reincarnate to freely explore the real world, and upon returning, rewards will be distributed based on the player's impact on the timeline.]

[Note: The True Dungeon unlocks when a player's Intelligence attribute reaches 60+. Each death deducts 1-3 points of Intelligence. Due to the body transfer, the player will lose all abilities and will be unable to equip any gear or weapons.]

[Note: The progress of the real-world instance cannot be interfered with by this game.]

Yakumo looked expectant…

Unfortunately, it's a long way from an intelligence score of 60+.

'Anniversary Limited-Time Shop'

Skip the duplicate items.

Yakumo has found exclusive limited-edition equipment.

"The Glory Sword Case of the Sword Saint Vernia"

Item Description: After Vernia achieved the title of Sword Saint, he carried the Glory Sword Box on his back. It weighs thirty-five pounds and contains a mechanism. It is made of Holy Light Spirit Iron and Radiant Mystic Stone. It can store seven weapons and can repair minor damage to the surface of the weapons and nurture them. After being bathed in the blood of the Sword Saint, this sword box underwent a peculiar change.

Active Skill: Holy Light Tempering, usable once a month, tempers the weapon's surface with the fire of the sun, dealing massive extra damage to enemies when attacking.

Item Price: 19000 (Player-only, Unique)

Yakumo Light Click Purchase…

Yakumo currently only has 19900 gold coins…

After the purchase, only 900 gold coins remained.

He immediately bought another fine stone.

At this point, only 100 gold coins remained.

Yakumo closed the game panel.

Before examining the Glory Sword Case, Yakumo used the seventeen essence stones in his hand to strengthen the short blade, Kaiyu. With the infusion of black energy, the blade of Kaiyu became even darker and duller.

[Unraveling Jade]

Weapon type: Short blade (45.2 cm)

Increase rate: 162%

Enchantment: None

Yakumo held the Glory Sword Box in front of him. It was slender, about 85 centimeters long and about 40 centimeters thick. It was black all over, with round black gemstones inlaid on it. It looked like a small coffin.

Ordinary...

Are the Holy Light Spirit Iron and Radiant Mystic Stone fake?

The front is engraved with complex and mysterious patterns.

Yakumo gently brushed the side of the sword case, and the patterns on its surface emitted a lustrous white light, as if it were undergoing a process of recognizing its master.

Two storage racks resembling scabbards suddenly popped out from the side of the sword case. Yakumo inserted the Jade Jewel into the rack and then put away the Fuma.

Yakumo opened the game's equipment interface.

"The Glory Sword Case of the Sword Saint Vernia"

Type: Special item, cannot be enhanced or enchanted.

Evolution level: 0%

Active Skill: Holy Light Tempering

However, the game panel did not provide any instructions on how to evolve the sword box.

Yakumo sealed the sword case into a small black and white ball using the Yin-Yang Seal. Unfortunately, it was not as convenient to use as an ordinary scabbard. However, its advantages were very obvious: the sword case could passively nurture the weapon.

It was already 3 a.m.

Yakumo quickly lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

For the remaining days, Yakumo accompanied Mori Masako on her dates. The two traveled to every corner of Konoha Village, trained side by side, ate together, and occasionally Yakumo would enjoy the privilege of having his lap as a pillow and taking a nap.

Diplomatic delegations from various countries arrived one after another in Konoha Village to conduct peace negotiations.

The negotiations lasted for a full fifteen days before finally concluding.

The Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Wind successively paid reparations.

The Land of Water, however, never sent anyone to negotiate, nor did it choose to expand trade with the Land of Fire; instead, it entered a state of isolation.

During this time, Yakumo made contact with the Third Tsuchikage, attempting to determine Orochimaru's whereabouts through the intelligence network of Iwagakure. Although Orochimaru frequently instigated blood sacrifices in the Land of Earth, it was difficult to pinpoint his exact location.

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In their search for Orochimaru, the Iwagakure Anbu suffered more than half its casualties.

After several sacrifices, the death toll has approached one million.

Orochimaru's bounty was increased from 500 million to 5 billion. He was known as the most vicious devil in the history of the ninja world, and his deeds were simply terrifying.

Within six months, one-eighth of the population of the Land of Earth perished.

The five great nations jointly issued a strangulation order against Orochimaru.

Six S-rank bounty ninjas attempted assassination... and all perished.

Two months ago, Tsunade and Jiraiya set off to find Orochimaru.

Two weeks ago, Orochimaru severely injured the Third Tsuchikage.

At the same time, another sacrifice was made... for the entire city.

In the early years of the 43rd year of Konoha, on January 1st.
