Konoha's Mission Master

The moves have incorporated techniques such as the Mighty Nation and the Extreme Blade Slash, which have long since transcended the original limitations.

Yakumo lay contentedly on the bed, pondering ways to subdue Sonic.

Victory is not the only goal; the most important thing is to improve Sonic's abilities by changing his movement style.

Learning is the key.

In him, Yakumo saw the potential for Shunkō to take Shunkō to the next level.

Nothing happened that night, and Mori Masako did not return the next day.

Yakumo practices swordsmanship in the morning and conducts experiments at Konoha Hospital in the evening.

Incidentally, they also recruited Aoyama Reiko into their camp.

This is what is meant by "raising an older sister for a thousand days, using her for only one."

With the two working together, they are gradually overcoming the challenges posed by interstitial cells.

In the evenings, Yakumo would go to the cemetery to guide Yukotsu Chiyuki's training.

After returning home late at night, I would complete my daily and weekly tasks, which were busy but incredibly fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, it's June.

With Kakashi's team back, Yakumo has set aside two hours each day to go on dates with Masako Mori.

Meanwhile, the monthly reward tasks are being tackled rapidly.

Everything was going in a good direction, except for Sonic in the arena who didn't give Yakumo any face.

They ruthlessly and instantly killed him.

Yakumo simply stopped going to the arena to get beaten up and focused on training and romance.

Occasionally, I enjoy using Masako Mori's lap pillow during my afternoon nap.

Of course, Yakumo always exercised restraint.

The relationship has become increasingly intimate.

Their progress has only reached the stage of hugging and kissing.

Mid-August.

Yakumo practiced his swordsmanship in the courtyard as usual, but his movements were incredibly slow.

In fact, at his level, there is no difference between fast and slow; what he lacks is talent.

The more Yakumo is tempered by his talent for upward transformation, the more he can feel his own limitations.

It felt like a bottle filled with water that could hold nothing more.

Two months, a full two months, and Ba Yun made no progress whatsoever.

Yakumo gradually regained his composure and composed himself.

An outsider is approaching...

Yakumo's swordplay suddenly became sharp and aggressive. He stepped forward with a confident stride, his movements and sword techniques in perfect harmony.

The two are perfectly integrated, displaying the majesty of a master swordsman.

With a swish, the fallen leaf was sliced ​​open, and then the leaf itself was further divided.

The man, holding the child, pushed open the courtyard gate.

At this moment, Yakumo's sword aura reached its peak, and golden arcs of electricity faintly flowed in his eyes.

He stopped and sheathed his sword, the surging electric arcs swirling around Yakumo like a storm before gradually dissipating.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Such swordsmanship and poetry are unprecedented in my life. Lord Yakumo truly deserves to be the strongest in the ninja world."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo smiled, feeling that his elaborate performance had not been in vain.

Yakumo turned around, and Uchiha Fugaku was holding Uchiha Itachi, who was wrapped in a light yellow soft silk cloth.

Leading the person to the stone table under the eaves, Yakumo controlled his shadow clone to brew tea.

The two sat facing each other, and through the rising steam, Fugaku Uchiha's face was slightly blurred.

"May I ask what brings Lord Fugaku here?"

Yakumo asked directly, leaving no room for Uchiha Fugaku to be polite or to build rapport.

Fugaku Uchiha was slightly taken aback. This was the epitome of a fatal blow.

All those pre-prepared pleasantries and attempts to build rapport became useless.

"Ahem, Lord Yakumo, I have something I cannot say."

Fugaku Uchiha put down his teacup and spoke very solemnly.

At the same time, he stared at Yakumo with some expectation, his inherently sinister face forcing out a fawning smile.

His gaze was strange; he was clearly smiling, yet it also seemed as if he was angry.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the fierce-eyed Fugaku.

"Tell me first, and then I'll consider whether or not to agree."

Yakumo fiddled with his sake cup with his right hand, already certain of Fugaku's intentions.

"I hope that Lord Yakumo will take Itachi as his apprentice."

Fugaku Uchiha, holding Itachi, stood up, bowed slightly, and said sincerely.

Yakumo looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and thought of Itachi Uchiha from the original work.

The Uchiha clan carries the weight of all geniuses.

In the original work, he is the only one who is not persuaded by the protagonist's words.

One could even say that the person lecturing the protagonist is the one doing the talking.

This is an extremely complex character.

Yakumo lowered her head and quietly checked her monthly limit.

The game system wants him to take Uchiha Itachi as his disciple.

So... is there any other choice?

Fugaku Uchiha kept his head down, his sincerity utmost.

The head of the Uchiha clan, a powerful figure in Konoha, is now showing considerable respect to Yakumo.

"Lord Yakumo, he will surely be a very filial child in the future, and he will respect his teachers and elders."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo revealed a strange smile. Of course, he knew just how filial Itachi Uchiha would be in the future.

"Okay, I'll take it."

A few seconds later, seeing that the time was about right, Yakumo took the initiative to speak.

[Note: Congratulations, player, you have completed the apprenticeship quest.]

Congratulations, player! You have received 3000 gold coins.

Congratulations, player! You have obtained a Master-level Breakthrough Scroll.

Fugaku Uchiha immediately smiled. He wanted to use Yakumo's strength to help Itachi Uchiha become the future Sixth Hokage. As for the Fifth Hokage... it was obvious to everyone that it belonged to Minato Namikaze.

“I know what you’re thinking. Since he’s my disciple, I will train him in my own way. His future training will focus on swordsmanship and taijutsu, rather than the Uchiha clan’s genjutsu and fire release.”

Yakumo stated bluntly that the mission was now complete.

If Fugaku Uchiha disagrees with Yakumo's arrangement and takes Itachi Uchiha away directly, it would be one less troublesome person.

To Yakumo's surprise... Fugaku Uchiha actually smiled after hearing this.

"He is your apprentice, so it's up to you how to arrange things."

Fugaku Uchiha replied with a smile, "We only know our own family's affairs. The Fire Release and Genjutsu passed down by the Uchiha clan are powerful, but can they reach the level of the strongest in the ninja world?"

Of course not!

He could simply have another child, given the Uchiha clan's genjutsu and fire-style techniques; after all, he and his wife were still young.

This time, Fugaku Uchiha made a huge profit, albeit with tears in his eyes.

Since that's the case, Yakumo has no reason to refuse.

Fugaku Uchiha sat down and took out a long wooden box from his storage scroll.

As the wooden box was opened, a long, jet-black sword lay quietly inside a soft cloth lining.

A chilling atmosphere swept over us.

Fugaku Uchiha's move was called catering to someone's preferences.

Yakumo shook his head, indicating his refusal.

Currently, he already has three weapons, namely...

Long sword, Demon Subduing Blade, Heavenly Feather Blade.

A short blade, used to cut jade.

We are already capable of handling...all battles.

Furthermore... the high cost of essence stones makes it clearly unsuitable for cultivating a fourth sword.

“I know that Lord Yakumo is not lacking in weapons at the moment, but we must always think about our future children. This sword is of the highest quality. For now, we will keep it as a collection, so that it will be convenient for our children to use when they are training in the future.”

Fugaku Uchiha presented a reason that Yakumo could not refuse.

In the end, Yakumo accepted the jet-black longsword and placed it in the Glory Sword Box to nurture it.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Fugaku Uchiha plans to announce his apprenticeship to the entire Hidden Leaf Village in a while.

When Itachi Uchiha was four years old, he formally became a disciple of Yakumo and began training with him.

When Fugaku Uchiha took his leave, Itachi Uchiha, who was in his arms, suddenly woke up.
