Konoha's Mission Master

Gold coins: 1000

Last night, when facing Keisuke Shimizu, Yakumo used the gold coins he had accumulated to push his chakra level to Jonin level, but his gold coins were also completely exhausted.

The remaining 1000 gold coins were obtained from the monthly task I just completed...

With a slight thought, a heat wave appeared in Yakumo's limbs and bones, and his skin, muscles and bones were undergoing a rapid transformation.

"Hoo..." Yakumo opened his eyes.

[Player's constitution attribute has exceeded 20 points.]

[All resistances and defenses have been slightly increased.]

Lifespan slightly extended.

[Note: Due to the extreme value triggered by Constitution, daily quests will no longer reward Constitution attribute points; instead, they will be converted into gold coins at a fixed rate. 0.1 attribute point equals 50 gold coins.]

The first few items also appeared when the constitution broke through to level 10, which is equivalent to the accumulation transforming from quantitative change to qualitative change. The last point is easier to understand: daily tasks will no longer produce constitution attribute points.

But... what is an extreme value attribute?

Yakumo was puzzled, and probably no one could give him an explanation.

When his physique broke through 20 points, his most direct feeling was that the amount of Yang attribute chakra in his body increased, which meant that his vitality was enhanced.

After a moment's thought, Yakumo continued to use the gold coins on his chakra reserves. Now he could maintain two shadow clones practicing ninjutsu for 24 hours a day, gaining about twice the proficiency he used to.

Passive: Chakra Refining Technique 'Acceleration'

"accelerate"!

[1000 gold coins have been deducted. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.]

Unknown chakra was born out of thin air, until it boiled.

After everything was over, Yakumo checked the panel.

Chakra: 90.6 (240 points to advance to Kage level.)

With the improvement of his physique, the amount of chakra he gained per acceleration increased from 0.8 to 1.0, which was undoubtedly good news.

Yakumo smiled and used a shadow clone to have someone prepare dinner before coming to the courtyard to continue practicing the Hatake Secret Manual. His hard work, sweating profusely, paid off with steady progress.

That evening, Yakumo submitted three weekly tasks. In addition to his diary and reading notes, the third weekly task was to have dinner with Masako Mori. Yesterday's dinner did not complete the task, and Yakumo guessed that the dinner required by the task meant... only the two of them.

Today, Yakumo invited Masako Mori to his house for dinner prepared by his shadow clone. He then summoned the shadow clone to clean and wash the dishes, and finally had the shadow clone escort Masako Mori away. Just then, the panel indicated that the quest was complete.

The gold coin balance has been increased back to 1150.

The tool-like shadow clone is truly pathetic.

On August 30th, Yakumo went for his usual morning run, and then went to training ground number 14 to train with his friends.

Obito Uchiha quickly formed hand seals in front of the open space, his movements fluid and natural. Yakumo sensed that the air had become slightly hot, and Kakashi, who was not far away, stopped to watch.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

A massive fireball erupted from Obito Uchiha's mouth, carrying a wave of intense heat. The branches that came into contact with the fireball crackled and popped, making the surrounding air even hotter.

Being able to fully utilize C-rank ninjutsu... very few first-year students can do that, which means that Obito Uchiha has taken a big step towards being called a genius.

"Make a little progress every day, and one day you will stand shoulder to shoulder with Kakashi or even surpass him!" Yakumo hugged Obito with a hint of encouragement.

"I actually did it!?" Obito Uchiha suddenly woke up, looking somewhat incredulous.

"That's right, you did it..."

"I'll try again..." Obito Uchiha said excitedly.

"Fire Release... a technique where chakra is insufficient..."

"Pfft... Hahaha." Masako Mori laughed.

"Keep up the good work... Focus on improving your physical fitness and chakra levels recently, and remember to eat on time."

"Good brother, I will work twice as hard... and amaze those who look down on me!" Obito Uchiha roared confidently.

"Yakumo, would you like to spar?" Kakashi suddenly walked over and invited Yakumo.

"Bond quest triggered!"

Bond Quest: Kakashi

Mission objective: Save White Fang and rewrite the tragedy.

Quest Reward: Three Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls

Acceptance <=> Rejection

"I accept," Yakumo thought to himself.

It's a pity it's not a Taoist scroll.

Looking at the fighting spirit in Kakashi's eyes, Yakumo slowly shook his head and said in a very serious tone.

"I give up... I'll wait until next month."

"Okay, then next month..."

As the sun set, everyone went home.

"School starts tomorrow, and I guess we'll get a new teacher..." After all, the old one is completely gone.

"What do you plan to do if someone asks about... clues about Keisuke Shimizu?" Masako Mori asked.

"They'll probably just ask a simple question about when you last saw Keisuke Shimizu. The investigation of the students shouldn't be too thorough. If they notice something's wrong and plan to torture you... you might as well just confess to them that I killed Keisuke Shimizu, tell them the truth!"

"I won't do that..."

"I don't want to drag you into my troubles; at worst, I can run away and live on the run."

"why?"

"Because you're my friend... honestly, if they really use torture... just tell the truth... that's fine."

"Yakumo, I understand you less and less."

"I just want some stability."

Yakumo frankly admits that such a simple wish is impossible to fulfill, and he has faced death several times during his three-month journey.

"stable?"

“That’s right, Yakumo. If you suffer a calamity because of your troubles… I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life.” Yakumo said to Mori Masako with an extremely serious expression.

He habitually hides himself, and sometimes even uses others to get things, but he still has passion in his heart and adheres to his bottom line.

Masako Mori was taken aback. Had Yakumo already prepared for the worst? But how could she possibly choose to betray him?

"I will not betray you to anyone."

"why?"

"Because you are my friend."

“Even if you tell me, I won’t die, it will just be a little troublesome…” Yakumo explained.

"You should know... I'm a stubborn person, and once I've made up my mind, I'll never change it."

“Your idea is dangerous… I don’t want to go with Uncle Mori to claim your body…” Yakumo sighed helplessly. In the original owner’s memories, Masako Mori was indeed an extremely stubborn person. Once she made up her mind, no one could change it.

"If that day ever comes, I hope my body will be surrounded by purple orchids."

"anything else?"

"This one will do... I'm a pretty easygoing person."

Chapter 38 Leaving the Village

September 1st, Konoha Year 39.

Wednesday, early morning.

Yakumo opened his eyes and skillfully opened the task panel. Apart from the lack of monthly limits, there was a brand new interface that flashed with colorful rainbow lights, attracting Yakumo's attention.

Quarterly Feedback

Life is more than just the present hardships.

Task Reward: 1. 20000 Gold Coins.

Task Reward: 2. 6 free attribute points.

Task Reward: 1000 gold coins, 3 attribute points.

Bonus Reward: Master Breakthrough Scroll

.........

This monthly limited-edition and quarterly reward event is likely part of a chain of quests. He will inevitably encounter Night Raven while thwarting the Root's conspiracy, and then things will be much simpler...

…When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail!

It seems the mission location is the City of Fire.

Just then, a white pigeon landed on the bedroom window and cooed through the glass.

Yakumo opened the window and took the letter from the pigeon's leg.

"Meet at the entrance of Konoha Village at 6:30."

The information was as simple and clear as ever, just like Reiko Aoyama's personality.

This is Reiko Aoyama's contracted ninja beast, but unfortunately it doesn't seem very smart and often gets lost. Its only purpose is to deliver messages within Konoha; if it goes any further... it will get lost.

Yakumo looked up at the clock…
