Konoha's Mission Master

Of course, this is the limit reached only after entering Sage Mode and using the strongest Wood Release ninjutsu, True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha...

However, if the sixteen minutes of holy light tempering are included, the strength might reach the fifth level of the Super Shadow level.

After a quick wash, Yakumo changed her clothes and went out.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Yakumo and Mori Masako hadn't seen each other for over a month, so naturally they missed each other.

However, Yakumo was told that... Masako Mori had left the village on a mission.

A sense of unease crept into Yakumo's heart.

"bump."

Smoke rose, and Milkball appeared in the courtyard.

After a brief inquiry, Yakumo confirmed that Masako Mori was safe and felt relieved... He went to the Hatake residence to find Kakashi and the others, only to find that they had left the village again... to carry out a mission.

Everyone began to grow along their own path, except for Yakumo, who was like an outsider wandering within the ninja system.

In the end, Yakumo could only practice his swordsmanship in the courtyard.

The battles in the world of One Piece brought him many insights.

Yakumo... began to meticulously refine his swordsmanship.

Group moves: Tornado, Round Dance, Three Feet.

Combat techniques: wielding the sword and returning to one's hiding place.

Basic moves: Severing the Void and Opening the Heavens.

Advanced move, Instant Light... is equivalent to a dash combined with a gap-closing attack.

Advanced move, Mighty Kingdom... is equivalent to a charged slash plus a mid-air break.

Ultimate move, Instant Light Plus Mighty Kingdom... Extreme Blade Slash.

The ultimate offensive system incorporates the techniques of Instant Light and Mighty Kingdom into the Gui Cang skill.

The ultimate defense system... is now Yakumo's weakness.

Although Yakumo believed that the best defense is offense, he knew that a weak defense could become a weakness, and a weakness is a fatal flaw.

Defense... has become the ultimate problem.

a few days later.

Q and his friends had a barbecue party to celebrate Yakumo's belated birthday.

After the meal, the group walked through the streets of Konoha.

Yakumo and Mori Masako walked hand in hand without any hesitation.

"Damn it... I treated you like a brother, and you actually got a girlfriend behind my back!"

Obito Uchiha spoke with a hint of sourness, his face slightly flushed, seemingly dissatisfied with Yakumo's betrayal of their brotherhood.

Upon hearing this, Yakumo smiled. No matter how strong he was, Obito's attitude towards him remained unchanged.

These are true brothers.

"What...you have a problem with that?"

Masako Mori clenched her right fist... and asked with a smile.

"Of course not... How could that be!"

Obito Uchiha immediately smiled and assured him.

"If you like someone, confess your feelings sooner rather than later; unrequited love is a dead end."

Yakumo spoke with a soft laugh.

"Yakumo... what nonsense are you talking about!"

Obito Uchiha's face flushed even more. This unrequited love, which began in early summer... had lasted for five years and still had no ending. He wasn't even afraid of death, but he was afraid to tell Rin Nohara... that he liked her.

Everyone knows that Obito Uchiha likes Rin Nohara.

His crush... was never a secret.

Let's play Truth or Dare.

Yakumo suggested.

"Yay..."

The group came to the tree, and Yakumo picked up the glass bottle from the ground.

"Whoever the bottle's opening points to has the right to ask questions."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yakumo exerted a little force, and the bottle spun rapidly.

Finally… it stopped amidst everyone's expectant gazes.

The bottle opening points towards... Masako Mori.

That's right, this was the result of Yakumo's manipulation in the dark.

"By the way, if Obito confessed his feelings, Rin, would you say yes?"

Masako Mori asked, somewhat gossipy.

"this…"

This time, it was Nohara Rin's turn to blush, and she quickly lowered her head.

He glanced at Kakashi Hatake out of the corner of his eye.

Yakumo noticed Rin's cautious movements and began to guess what was going on. It turned out that it wasn't just Obito... everyone felt timid in love, just to varying degrees.

"Okay, okay, let's change the subject."

Obito Uchiha waved his hand casually, but in reality... his unwavering gaze betrayed his true thoughts.

Kakashi looked up and glanced at Yakumo.

Yakumo responded with a smile.

"Actually, I'm also curious whether Rin will agree to Obito's request."

Kakashi Hatake asked.

To some extent... he understood Rin's feelings for him, and he even had some affection for Rin in return, though it was more like a friendship. This affection vanished as soon as he discovered Obito's intense love for Rin.

Kakashi reached back and touched the white teeth on his shoulder.

A joyful and happy smile appeared on his face.

Kakashi, obsessed with swordsmanship, has no romantic feelings for women.

Of course... just for now.

Now everyone looked at Nohara Rin with anticipation.

Kakashi Hatake was aware of Yakumo's plans.

Obito needs to be ignited.

Otherwise, he would never dare to take a step forward in this relationship.

"Kakashi, do you want to say yes?"

Nohara Rin abruptly changed the subject.

At the same time, she looked at Kakashi with hopeful eyes.

"Of course, as your friend, I certainly hope so."

Kakashi Hatake answered easily yet seriously, emphasizing the word "friend" to clearly express his stance.

I would refuse.

Rin Nohara answered firmly.

He stood up and left without looking back.

"You guys!"

Obito Uchiha sighed deeply and quickly got up to chase after him.

"Hey, Lin... wait for me."

The three people were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Isn't this a bit too hurtful?"

Kakashi Hatake frowned and asked.

Sparse new buds were growing on the branches above their heads.

The night is getting darker.

"What's wrong with that? You should be brave when it comes to matters of the heart!"

Masako Mori sided with Yakumo without any scruples, retorting to Kakashi.

"Alright, perhaps the approach was wrong." Yakumo spoke slowly, but the tone suddenly shifted. "It's better to... clarify these things."

The Third Shinobi World War has ended, but Obito's bond mission remains unfinished.

Yakumo admitted that he was a bit impatient, which is why he devised today's plan.

"How can I change my fate and save Nohara Rin?"

Yakumo closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Yakumo only knew that Nohara Rin died at the end of the Third Shinobi World War, but he had no idea exactly which year it was.

This rescue is very difficult...

Half a minute later, Yakumo opened his eyes... and said seriously.

"I will apologize to Nohara Rin tomorrow."
