Konoha's Mission Master

"Enter the arena."

[Note: 200 gold coins have been deducted. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.]

The desolate and lonely arena welcomes the indomitable protagonist.

Sonic transforms into lightning in an instant... His clothes cling tightly to his skin, creating no resistance during high-speed movement.

This is his most perfect combat suit.

Yakumo opened his eyes and immediately clasped his hands together.

Countless shadow clones scattered in all directions.

With a thud, an invisible and transparent Grim Reaper flashed by, and a series of shadow clones turned into white smoke. With the help of the memories from the death feedback, Yakumo saw Sonic's weapon clearly, which was a short blade only about five centimeters long.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Dragon!"

Yakumo's main body merged into the wooden dragon's body, and at the same time, dozens of shadow clones immediately began to form hand seals, but Sonic did not stop... continuing to slaughter the shadow clones. He only needed to swing his sword to easily defeat the shadow clones.

"Immortal Technique·Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!"

The remaining shadow clones stirred the water, eventually converging into a massive wave that crashed towards Sonic like a tsunami. This was the solution Yakumo had come up with: since attacks couldn't catch up with the enemy, they would block all of the enemy's escape routes. Fortunately, the arena wasn't very large and had boundaries.

A giant wave swept in and crashed down.

Sonic leaped high into the air, his legs propelling him forward, and he ran at top speed on the giant waves as if walking on flat ground... Behind him, the terrifying impact sent up a spray of water tens of meters high.

Yakumo continued to release chakra to strengthen the Wood Dragon's defense.

Sonic, riding the waves... his target is Yakumo himself!

Behind the waves, countless shadow clones raised their hands.

"Sage Art: Water Escape: Compassion: One Thousand and One Nights!"

Amidst the waves, thousands upon thousands of water droplets broke through the surface and shot towards the charging Sony.

Yakumo had tried to confront Sonic head-on, but died a horrible death. After countless setbacks, he finally figured out how to defeat Sonic: a war of attrition!

Sonic will be severely damaged if he makes just one mistake!

As time went on, Yakumo fully deployed his forces, using the Eternal Sleep Mist to weaken Sonic's senses while conserving resources as much as possible, and using the Merciful Split Water Bullets to wear down Sonic's attacks.

Yakumo is using his chakra to exchange for Sonic's stamina.

High-cost, low-accuracy ninjutsu.

Temporarily excluded...

Sonic runs wildly through the mist.

Yet he could clearly perceive his own limits. As a ninja, Sonic could master his breathing rate, even his muscle spasms, and constantly push his own limits to create miracles.

This time, however, Sonic felt he was going to die.

The enemy is extremely difficult to deal with, and seems to know his abilities very well.

"I won't fall until I defeat that bald guy!"

Sonic, facing the storm, issues an angry declaration.

The next moment, he became a golden phantom.

Sonic's movement speed increases from three times the speed of sound to ten times the speed of sound!

In 0.3 seconds, Sonic, transformed into golden light, crossed layers of obstacles and collided with the coiling wooden dragon. Wooden scales flew wildly in an instant, and the short blade sliced ​​through the wooden dragon's body at an extremely fast speed.

The next second, Yakumo manipulated countless water droplets to descend.

But the enemy dodged instantly and planted a boomerang that would cause a violent explosion at the spot where the wooden dragon was severely injured.

Boom, boom, boom! A series of explosions rang out!

The massive wooden dragon was cut in half.

Yakumo's true form instantly disappeared into the group of shadow clones.

Next... it's all about luck!

Sonic closed in the blink of an eye and easily dispatched Yakumo's shadow clone with a simple swing of his sword, but no joy appeared on his face. This overclocked burst of power was also gradually approaching its limit.

Yakumo's main body slowly sank into the depths of the waves. Under the cover of the waves and mist, he clasped his hands together and manipulated the newly created wooden dragon to continue circling and coiling around his body, providing defense.

This is an...unjust battle.

There was no direct confrontation, only endless delaying.

Sonic crashed into the deep sea like a beam of light, constantly approaching the coiled wooden dragon, but the surrounding seawater was manipulated by Yakumo's shadow clone, with countless waves gradually suppressing Sonic.

However, an even stronger golden light suddenly erupted.

In an instant, all the surrounding shadow clones were killed.

Intense golden light blasted the seawater apart.

A terrifying explosion rang out, and water surged wildly upwards!

In the invisible void, Sonic landed, covered in blood.

But its aura grew increasingly terrifying, like a horrifying demon god resurrecting.

"Super-super-supersonic slash!"

A frail body, yet it unleashed a terrifying will.

Boom! The entire surface of the arena shattered.

A terrifying sonic boom spread outwards.

Sonic transforms into a blood arrow, igniting the air behind him and turning it into a raging fire that eventually forms a fiery red triangular sound cone.

The surrounding chakra formed a stream of water that seemed to fall from the sky, but it was too late to stop Sonic at full power.

At this moment, Sonic once again surpassed his limits.

In particular, there are no longer any obstacles between Sonic and Yakumo's main body.

"go to hell!!!"

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformation Buddha!"

Yakumo merges into the Buddha statue hundreds of meters tall. If Sonic wants to kill him, he must withstand the barrage of punches and completely destroy the Buddha statue.

Countless wooden fists slammed down, only to be instantly severed by the blood blade. Sonic continued to weave through the gaps between the fists, dodging layer upon layer of attacks, and finally began to dismantle Yakumo's last barrier.

Bloodstained blades swept across, splinters of wood flying everywhere.

But the water in the sky had already flowed back and washed away the water.

The ocean reappears, hindering Sonic's speed.

"Sub-Light Slash!"

Sonic, in a desperate gamble, was enveloped in golden light.

Descending from the sky, the water was instantly split apart, and the Buddha statue, hundreds of meters tall, was gradually destroyed by the golden light, turning into wood chips and debris.

The golden blade of light rapidly advanced downwards.

Yakumo raised his head and looked at Sonic, overcoming all the obstacles.

This is the enemy's last-ditch effort.

The demon-subduing sword was drawn, burning with bright white flames.

Yakumo gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and began to gather his strength!

Chapter 210 Promotion, Farewell to Sakumo Hatake

The final battle in the arena has reached its crucial stage.

Sonic transformed into golden light, appearing powerful and imposing, yet it couldn't conceal the withered state within him; this was his final, all-out attack.

This was also a full-force attack fueled by the burning flames of life. After being weakened by Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, his attack was already at its last gasp.

Before reaching Kage-level strength, one can seize opportunities to win by relying on instantaneous skills and reaction to moves. However, after reaching Kage-level strength, the clash of energy and the strength of one's physique become more important.

After all, people who can reach this level must have extremely rich combat experience, and what truly determines victory or defeat is often the explosive release of moves after reaching the limit.

In other words... when you're low on health, use your ultimate skill.

Yakumo has many ways to dodge Sonic's final attack.

But he wanted to try a head-on confrontation, perhaps because he had felt too frustrated during the entire battle.

"Willpower is concentrated on the blade, and the fire of the sun burns fiercely."

Thunder and gale force were poured into it, and the Sword of Creation was born.

The Demon-Subduing Blade trembled slightly, scattering boundless radiance.

Yakumo raised his weapon, and the golden arc melted the wood chips into nothingness. At this moment, the world became extremely quiet. The roaring water and continuous explosions around him could not distract Yakumo in the slightest.

With continued exertion of force, Yakumo suddenly thrust out this blade.

However, the Demon-Subduing Sword in his hand suddenly became extremely heavy, his arms began to tremble, and his feet gripped the ground tightly, creating a textured surface of broken impact beneath his feet. Yakumo exerted all his strength to deliver the sword completely.

Sonic's vision was completely filled with golden light, but he soon realized that the golden light seemed to be coming from an enemy's attack, and all he could do was grip the short blade in his hand and push it out with even more force.

The entire arena was then filled with dazzling golden light. At that moment, Yakumo could not tell whether the dazzling golden light came from his own weapon or from the enemy's attack. Under the cover of the golden light, two powerful attacks collided, like a spark igniting the end of the world.

boom!

Amidst the surging waters, it was as if a water dragon was roaring, shattering the surrounding water into countless fragments that splashed at various angles. This was but a fleeting moment; the next instant, an even stronger impact erupted, leaving cracks on the surface of the arena. Two golden dragons seemed to be colliding, tearing at each other, and annihilating one another.

As the still, powerful current of water plunged from the heights, splashing across the broken ground, Yakumo lay on the ground, covered in wounds, yet his heart was still beating strongly. Beside him lay Sonic, who lay like a corpse, already lifeless.

At that moment, Yakumo lost.

In the final clash, Sonic's highly refined attack was destroyed, but the next second, Sonic collapsed due to exhaustion. The golden light on his body gradually dissipated, revealing a body devoid of blood and moisture, resembling a dried-up corpse.

"An unjust victory."

The remaining moisture in the sky fell, washing over the blood on Yakumo's body.
