Konoha's Mission Master

On the other hand, Hashirama Senju suddenly remembered something during the instantaneous movement.

"It seems like I've forgotten something very important?"

Unfortunately, in the end... he still forgot to remind Yakumo that Uchiha Madara was still alive, and that he was even gradually regaining his youth with Orochimaru's help.

On the other hand, Yakumo returned to his bedroom and used chakra to evaporate the moisture on his body.

Take out the other loot from the storage scroll.

First, there's Orochimaru's legacy.

Yakumo created shadow clones to begin tidying up.

Dragon Cave Spirit Summoning Contract Scroll, corresponding spirit summoning spell.

Various forbidden techniques, such as physical activation and soft tissue modification, and the rather taboo Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.

And...the main event...the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

This is Orochimaru's initial modified version, which can probably only unleash about 70% of the ninja's fighting power in his lifetime.

Basic ninjutsu: Earth Release, Fire Release.

A special substitution technique... I vomit my own words technique, scratch that.

The technique of the snake spitting out my blood, cross that out.

After sorting through the materials, Yakumo decided to give the Sky Sword, the Summoning Scroll, and the various ninjutsu to Mitarashi Anko.

Of course... the technique of physical revitalization was also copied onto the scroll by Yakumo.

Finally, Yakumo began to peruse Orochimaru's research on Hashirama cells. The data showed that Orochimaru had conducted numerous human experiments and had a very deep understanding of Hashirama cells.

As for those bloody sacrificial techniques and records on the research and refinement of different types of chakra, Yakumo directly set them on fire, burning them to ashes.

In Yakumo's view, this knowledge inherently represents evil because it uses human life as a tool and raw material.

At four in the morning, Jiraiya, reeking of alcohol, returned to his bedroom.

Yakumo handed the organized scroll to Jiraiya. This was a ninjutsu mastered by Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, as his good brother, was naturally entitled to share it, except for those bloody records.

"This is?"

Jiraiya asked, somewhat confused.

"Orochimaru left behind a legacy; he wanted me to pass on these ninjutsu to Mitarashi Anko."

Jiraiya took the scroll, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

He picked up the flask and took another big gulp; it wasn't beer, but extremely strong liquor.

A few seconds later, Jiraiya's face turned red, he coughed repeatedly, and tears streamed from his bloodshot eyes.

"I hope Jiraiya-sama won't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya, who was crying, firmly shook his head.

"Tsunade and I both know that you just did the right thing."

After a long while, Jiraiya stood up and said with some excitement.

"A ninja is one who endures suffering that ordinary people cannot endure."

"A hero never cries in weakness!"

This kind of self-deceptive talk actually worked on Jiraiya.

A smile gradually appeared on his face, and he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Yakumo suddenly realized that these words were not meant to deceive him, but rather were Jiraiya's guiding principles for conduct.

Jiraiya was simply reminding himself not to forget the ninja way he upheld.

The next day, the group met on the Xiao organization platform.

This time, Xiao Nan was actually preparing grilled chicken wings with a big smile on her face.

According to Tsunade, when Hashirama Senju brought her back yesterday, he encountered Konan secretly crying.

After learning the whole story, Hashirama Senju took Konan away. When she returned, she seemed to have let go of everything, and a cheerful and gentle smile returned to her face, radiating happiness.

After hearing this, Yakumo could only sigh silently in his heart.

Hashirama Senju is amazing! He's all talk and no action!

In fact, not only Konan, but even Tsunade had many more smiles on her face after talking with Hashirama Senju.

In Yakumo's view... the so-called "talk-no-jutsu" is more like personal charisma. It's not just about preaching, but about not killing the enemy out of hatred after defeating them. Instead, it's about choosing to forgive. It's about having experienced many hardships, but still having a light that shines on the world in one's heart, as warm and dazzling as the sun.

Of course, Yakumo couldn't do that; if it were him... if we were enemies, I'd scatter his ashes.

However, seeing the changes in Xiao Nan.

A joyful smile also appeared on Yakumo's face.

After a satisfying meal, everyone was in high spirits.

"Master, there's something I need to tell you, but I hope you can stay calm."

Yakumo observed the smile on Tsunade's face and suddenly thought of something in the storage scroll.

"Under my great-grandfather's tutelage, this princess... can now face everything with a calm and peaceful mind."

Tsunade patted her chest, a bright smile spreading across her face.

Thump...

Yakumo took out a transparent quartz glass bottle from the storage scroll.

Half an arm floats in the pale green nutrient solution, radiating vitality.

What is this?

Tsunade picked up the glass bottle and felt a sense of familiarity about it.

"The First Hokage's arm was found among Orochimaru's belongings."

Yakumo stood up and slightly increased the distance to a safe distance, and Jiraiya did the same.

"Damn it, Orochimaru, you deserve to die!!!"

Enraged, Tsunade found the steel platform beneath her feet begin to shake.

Yakumo sensed something was wrong and immediately vanished in a flash.

A few seconds later, the tallest building in Amegakure.

The former residence of Hanzo the Salamander.

The Tower of Babel has collapsed!

Jiraiya and Tsunade pooled together 300 million ryo of the Land of Fire coins.

This is how Tsunade was able to redeem herself.

Otherwise, the group would have no choice but to bravely storm the Akatsuki...

Tsunade didn't seem to care much about it.

Money was something that never truly belonged to her.

In the evening, the three set off on their journey back to Konohagakure.

Jiraiya's face contorted with pain. He had drawn that money stroke by stroke... it was all earned through his labor. Especially when he thought of Nagato's extremely greedy smile, Jiraiya became even more furious.

"This is treason and betrayal of one's master..."

One day later.

Information about Yakumo killing Orochimaru began to spread throughout the ninja world.

The ninja world was in an uproar!

The inhabitants of the Land of Earth, in particular, wept with joy.

The most evil criminal in history died at the hands of the new God of Shinobi.

Two days later, the three returned to Konoha Village.

At Hashirama Senju's urging, Tsunade put aside her differences with Konoha and chose to resume her position as the head of Konoha Hospital.

At the same time, his hemophobia was also cured without him even realizing it.

The atmosphere in Konoha Village, however, was somewhat festive.

Many stores are offering significant discounts.

Full of festive spirit.

Yakumo quickly discovered that most of the discounted shops belonged to the Uchiha clan. After making some inquiries, he learned that the eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku had been born and had already been named Uchiha Itachi.

Yakumo first went to the Hokage's office to report.

Sakumo Hatake verbally commended Yakumo for killing Orochimaru, and the bounty from Iwagakure was being rapidly sent to Konoha. After deducting the Konoha Mission Department's share, Yakumo would likely receive around 150 million Fire Country coins.

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo donated 90 million yen to Konoha.

After talking for a while, Yakumo learned that Kakashi's team was on a mission outside the village, which meant that Masako Mori was also not in the village. After all, the four of them belonged to the same team, and the team leader was Jonin Kakashi Hatake.

Without making a sound.

At the age of eleven, Kakashi became a Jonin of Konoha.

However, Yakumo remained a genin.

"Then I'll head back first?"

Yakumo bid farewell to Hatake Sakumo and turned to leave the Hokage Building.

We went to Ichiraku Ramen and had a quick lunch.

At this moment, Jiraiya and Tsunade are burying Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's situation is even more special; he is not qualified to enter the Konoha Cemetery.

Tsunade decided to bury Orochimaru in the back mountain of the Senju clan.

This can be considered a way of giving an explanation to a former close friend, allowing him to rest in peace.
