Konoha's Mission Master

Expected.

As expected.

Ultimately, I am just an ordinary person...the limit.

"exchange."

Yakumo spoke softly.

[Congratulations to the player for consuming three Grandmaster-level Breakthrough Scrolls.]

Congratulations to the player for obtaining three Awakening Scrolls.

At this point, the conditions for a breakthrough have been met.

"breakthrough."

Yakumo closed his eyes and gave the order to the air.

A unique talent comes into play.

The three Spirit Awakening Scrolls that were exchanged gradually turned into golden light spots in mid-air and scattered. Finally, under the influence of unknown energy, they merged into Yakumo's body, landing on the surface of his bones, internal organs, blood, and even nerves like fireflies, slowly fusing together.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

The bones groaned, the blood churned, the nerves convulsed, the internal organs seemed to shatter, the skin turned an intense crimson, like a cooked shrimp, the body curled up unnaturally, and the fists clenched tightly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Those golden specks of light continued to slowly merge into his body. Yakumo could not stop the strengthening process and could only passively endure the constant pain.

A few minutes later, the exposed veins bulged, the black and white of his eyes were bloodshot, his hair began to grow unnaturally, and his bones made a grinding sound that made your teeth ache.

The bones become thicker and stronger, and some even begin to connect and merge to form completely isolated bony plates. Fine and hard bone plates also grow on the surface of organs that were not originally protected by bones, protecting the fragile organs like a barrier.

Yakumo clenched his teeth, and blood gradually seeped from between them.

As time went by, his height began to shrink, gradually decreasing from the initial 1.64 meters to a height of about 1.58 meters.

But his bone density nearly doubled.

Once the body calms down and the blood stops boiling.

The golden light spots completely merged with the body.

Within Yakumo's body, some invisible barrier shattered.

The shackles within the body also vanished.

Yakumo sat up and exhaled slightly.

At that moment, he felt incredibly relaxed.

A sense of ease emanating from within, like being reborn.

[Congratulations player, you have broken the fifth-stage limit of your constitution.]

[Congratulations, player! Your physical recovery ability has been greatly enhanced!]

[Congratulations, player! Your lifespan has been greatly increased!]

"Great."

Yakumo jumped into the courtyard and felt the changes in his body.

In the courtyard, he began to slowly throw punches, his movements accompanying the changes in his body... He was rapidly mastering the changes occurring within his body.

Currently, Yakumo has 4.8 points of free attributes.

Intelligence: 50.2 (learning ability, mental resilience)

Reaching 60 points in Intelligence will unlock the True Dungeon.

Although the game system only provides a relatively simple introduction to the real dungeon, it is enough to attract Yakumo.

My plan for the next six months is to break through 60 points in intelligence!

Yakumo taps the plus sign lightly.

A gentle energy spreads through the brain.

He was instantly immersed in this wonderful feeling, and the passage of time seemed to have no meaning for Yakumo Ryousho.

Suddenly, a bird's song rang in Yakumo's ears, clear and melodious.

It wasn't just birdsong, but also the chirping of insects in twos and threes.

But it wasn't just one kind of bird; it was many kinds of birds singing.

Five minutes later, Yakumo opened his eyes.

There were no birdsongs around, but rather memories deep in his mind resurfaced, and he discovered a secret he had previously overlooked.

Rengoku Kyojuro... guessed that Yakumo planned to leave that night.

The continuous drinking was a farewell gesture, while the drunkenness was feigned.

Rengoku Kyojuro was simply reluctant to part ways.

"call…"

Yakumo let out a long breath.

He began to adapt to his body's current state once again. The most direct feeling brought about by the improvement in his intelligence attribute was that his spirit became more invigorated, and he was no longer sleepy at all. Many understandings about ninjutsu and swordsmanship surfaced in his mind.

Intelligence: 55.0 (learning ability, mental resilience)

Inspiration sprouts like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Yakumo immediately created a shadow clone to work on the idea in his mind, while his main body returned to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and prepared to sleep.

"Good night."

At three in the morning, Yakumo fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Yakumo stood up, he formed hand seals to cancel the shadow clone.

He lay in bed absorbing the memories and exhaustion that suddenly flooded his mind.

These memories include a completely new understanding and application of various ninjutsu, but these are only minor improvements and not of much significance to Yakumo.

As memories flooded his body, fatigue surged in, but it dissipated at a visible speed. When his constitution reached 60 points, his body's endurance also improved dramatically.

Yakumo leaped to the ground like a carp... and put on slippers. She was in excellent condition, full of energy and vitality.

Yakumo was thinking as he walked to the living room.

The differences between physique, strength, agility, and intelligence.

He initially thought there was no difference between these four attributes, but as his strength increased, Yakumo gradually realized that agility and strength attributes were more focused on combat. Constitution and intelligence, on the other hand, were more focused on survival and learning, that is, on more fundamental aspects.

Currently, in Yakumo's mind, constitution is the attribute that needs the most improvement, followed by intelligence.

Strength and agility come last.

Beyond the pursuit of power, the most fundamental factor is survival.

Physical strength is a fundamental condition for survival.

Inside the kitchen.

Yakumo's shadow clone had already prepared breakfast... braised pork tenderloin and rice.

Once Yakumo freed his hands and gained extraordinary strength... he began to use his shadow clones to replicate the delicacies that lingered in his memories, such as braised pork belly, crystal pork hock, braised pig's trotters, braised beef, Dongpo pork, Wuwei smoked duck, spicy chicken, and so on...

Through constant replication... these delicacies shine brightly in the hands of the shadow clones.

After lunch, Yakumo started his morning run.

That morning.

Go to the Hokage Building and explain to Sakumo Hatake that he has returned.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Yakumo went to Konoha Hospital.

Inside the research lab, two stunningly beautiful women were working diligently. Upon Yakumo's arrival, both women put down their work. Tsunade glared at Yakumo, the absentee manager, with some displeasure, while Aoyama Reiko smiled broadly, her eyes like a pool of intoxicating spring water.

Reiko Aoyama is no longer the icy beauty she once was.

"Where have you been all these past few months?"

Tsunade, her expression unpleasant, launched the first attack.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, then I'll be merciful..."

"speak English!"

Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes burning with fury.

"Save the world!"

Seeing Tsunade so angry, Yakumo dared not be cheeky anymore and told the truth directly.

"I told you to speak like a human being..."

"Well, you won't believe me if I tell you the truth, fine, I actually went on vacation."

"Alright, Yakumo, stop trying to upset your master. Tsunade, don't take it to heart with this kid; he's still young..."

Reiko Aoyama stepped in just in time to calm Tsunade's rising anger.

"Yakumo, don't take it to heart. Tsunade has been in a bad mood these past few days, and you know why."

Aoyama Reiko smiled warmly and gradually told Yakumo about everything that had happened recently. Due to the success of the life cell, countless people, from ninjas to ordinary merchants, from the local residents of Konoha Village to the wealthiest businessmen in the Land of Fire, came to Konoha Village.

It is hoped that Tsunade and Reiko Aoyama will carry out training for limb reconstruction.

This resulted in an enormous workload for them, so much so that Tsunade completely broke down.

In other words, this situation means that one's mentality has collapsed.

"If this situation is really unacceptable, then refuse."

Upon hearing this, Aoyama Reiko smiled gently.

"Unfortunately, most of these people are very rich, and you know that Konoha is relatively short of money."
