Konoha's Mission Master

"Announce to the public that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind is indeed dead, and at the same time... inform the ninja world that the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has nothing to do with Konoha, and that Konoha will continue to investigate this case until the truth is completely revealed."

This is an explanation to the Land of Wind.

on the way back.

Yakumo's casual expression gradually turned serious.

There are few people in the ninja world today who are capable of deceiving the combined forces of Inuzuka and Aburame, and even fewer who can kill the Daimyo of the Land of Wind under the protection of the Sunagakure Anbu.

After a simple analysis, we can conclude that the murderer is Uchiha Madara. Even if it wasn't him, the blame should still be placed on him. Looking across the ninja world, he is the only one who deserves Yakumo's serious attention.

"The Lord of the Seas series... is urgently needed."

Thinking about the next plan, Yakumo turned into the alley.

"Yakumo, you're back?"

Masako Mori stood in the corner of the alley, her face full of smiles. She had originally planned to accompany Yakumo to pay respects to her parents, but Yakumo refused, saying he preferred to go alone.

"I'm back."

Yakumo smiled, knowing that Masako Mori was worried that he would be reminded of his parents' passing.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, Milk Ball came out to wait for you, so I followed him out."

"Meow."

On the wall covered with ivy, Milk Ball let out a dissatisfied howl, seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction with Yakumo's neglect.

"Haha, you little glutton."

"I brought you honey crispy chicken especially."

He took out a golden roasted chicken from the storage scroll. The skin was coated with honey and was very crispy. The chicken meat also had a slightly sweet taste.

Swish! The whole roasted chicken was thrown at the milk ball.

The next second, the palm-sized head instantly grew larger, opened its mouth full of fangs, and swallowed the entire roasted chicken, bones and all.

Crack, crack... The bones were crushed.

"Meow~"

A few seconds later, the milk ball transformed back into an adorable pet.

"I want one too, I want one too..."

Masako Mori immediately spoke, smelling the fragrance in the air.

"Of course there's one for you, and lots of other little skirts too."

Yakumo reached out and stroked Mori Masako's hair twice.

Senya excitedly jumped into Yakumo's arms.

"I knew it, Yakumo is the best, MUA~"

"Let's go home."

"Okay... let's go home."

Chapter 224 Anniversary Celebration, Visiting the Uchiha Clan

Midnight, moonlight spills onto the roof.

in the courtyard.

A grey-backed, white-bellied bird perched on a branch in the treetop, believing itself to be in a safe position, its dark eyes peeking at Yakumo on the roof. Once, a pheasant had been just as curious, but then…

The clouds obscured the moonlight.

The arena results are complete, as only four levels were cleared.

I still failed to obtain the Eternal Scroll this year.

Yakumo scrolled through the anniversary shop with his fingers.

After the Glorious Sword Box, no player-exclusive items were refreshed in the second year. He guessed that it was because the Glorious Sword Box was too precious, which resulted in no player-exclusive items being refreshed in the two years.

Finally, Yakumo closed the game interface and gazed at the bright moon.

This time, he didn't buy anything from the anniversary shop. Instead, he planned to save up gold coins in the coming days and then upgrade the Wood Release Manual to the Master level.

This leads to... the beginning of the exploration of the series of Sea Overlords.

September 30th, the 44th year of Konoha.

It's a rainy day today. A light drizzle started in the morning, adding a touch of chill to the autumn air. Yet, the trees in Yakumo-in Temple remain lush and green.

Despite the drizzle, Yakumo completed her daily morning run and then headed to Konoha Hospital to cultivate life cells.

As time went by, the incident of the daimyo of the Land of Wind dying within the territory of the Land of Fire gradually subsided.

Although the Land of Wind loomed some protests against the Land of Fire, just as Yakumo had guessed, they dared not actually take any action.

Konoha Village is home to Iori Yakumo, the strongest ninja in the world.

Although they couldn't understand how Yakumo could have such strength at such a young age, his past achievements did prove his power, with one underdog victory after another and one crushing defeat after another.

Yakumo once suppressed his enemies amidst a vast army.

In the Land of Wind, some disputes have arisen regarding the position of Daimyo, mainly because the former Daimyo has too many sons, among whom two or three are quite powerful and are fighting each other, making it difficult to determine the outcome for the time being.

The third generation of Kazekage is up for sale.

Tragically, no one thought of avenging the former daimyo. The moment he died, he was no longer a daimyo and carried no glory.

He was just an ordinary old man, nothing more.

The turmoil in the ninja world gradually subsided.

But is an even bigger upheaval brewing in the shadows?

Nobody can say for sure.

As a result of this upheaval, land prices in Konoha Village have risen once again, because in chaotic times, everyone thinks of attaching themselves to the strong.

Konoha Village has the strongest ninja in the world!

This is the influence of Yakumo.

In the afternoon, Yakumo left Konoha Hospital.

The rain in the sky has stopped.

Water stains still remained on the street surface, and the sun freely radiated heat from the sky.

A rainbow appeared on the distant horizon, and Yakumo smiled with delight. Rainbows are a rare sight, and the slight weariness in his heart quickly dissipated.

Yakumo has identified his target: the Uchiha clan. This time, he wants to visit his second apprentice, Uchiha Itachi, and get to know the Uchiha clan's genius, Uchiha Shisui, who will one day hold the title of "Shisui of the Body Flicker".

The bluestone path was occasionally marked with puddles. As they approached the location of the Uchiha clan, Yakumo deactivated his transformation jutsu. The sentries on guard around him, after recognizing Yakumo's face, did not stop him but instead turned and left.

Guided by his senses, Yakumo found Fugaku Uchiha's presence. After several turns, he finally stopped in front of an old but rather luxurious courtyard. A few seconds later, Fugaku Uchiha, dressed in a black haori, came out to greet him.

"Lord Yakumo, it's been a long time."

Fugaku Uchiha greeted him with a smile and a very respectful lean forward.

"The last time we met was last August."

Let Yakumo recall.

Led by Fugaku Uchiha, Yakumo entered the seemingly low-key yet quite luxurious residence. The entire structure was made of wood and the exterior was somewhat old, but the wood emitted a faint fragrance that refreshed the mind and spirit, clearly indicating that each piece of wood was of considerable value.

After walking along the simple pebble path, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A graceful woman was kneeling on the platform beside the steps. Judging from her appearance, she was a younger version of Uchiha Mikoto, who was only in her early twenties but gave off a gentle and tender feeling.

Looking at the fierce-looking Fugaku Uchiha, the two seem like two extremes, their auras and appearances quite mismatched.

"This is my wife, Uchiha Mikoto."

Fugaku Uchiha introduced Yakumo, gesturing for him to sit down next to him.

Fragrant tea had already been brewed on the wooden table in front of them.

The two had a very good relationship, and their eyes were full of love when they looked at each other. Not long after, Uchiha Itachi was carried out by the servants, and his clear black and white eyes curiously looked at Yakumo.

"I want to hug him... and get a medical check-up while I'm at it."

Fugaku Uchiha showed a surprised expression. As everyone knows, Yakumo not only has great strength, but is also a medical master who far surpasses Tsunade. When the Palm Healing Technique reaches that level, it can not only save lives, but also awaken cell vitality and strengthen the body, further laying the foundation for children.

"sure…"

Yakumo took the bag from Uchiha Itachi.

Pale green orbs of light emanated from his hands as he carefully examined the man's body. His heart was healthy and strong, and his bones were without any flaws. Under the influence of the Palm Healing Technique, Yakumo's perspective gradually penetrated into the man's body, passing through organs, muscles, blood, and even cells.

The most subtle and hidden aspects of the human body are revealed before Yakumo's eyes.

"Hiss... but the cells are a bit weak. If you keep refining chakra and overdrawing it, it could very well lead to an early death."

Yakumo thought to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

This scene was witnessed by Uchiha Fugaku, whose face, which was originally full of joy, quickly calmed down... and he asked with a hint of worry.

Does my eldest son... have some hidden health condition?

Instantly, Mikoto Uchiha also stopped smiling.

"Strong bones and muscles, and a powerful heart, but weak cell vitality. It may not have a big impact in childhood, but it will lead to early death in youth as the body overdraws its chakra."

As Yakumo spoke, Fugaku Uchiha frowned. Although Yakumo's words were far-fetched, he was willing to believe Yakumo's judgment.

In particular… in the history of the Uchiha clan, there have been similar cases of this disease. Most of the sufferers were exceptionally talented, but died young, which was a curse from heaven on bloodline clans.

Mikoto Uchiha turned pale, her face turning deathly white.

Is this condition... treatable?

"of course."
