Konoha's Mission Master

Page 273

Under the moonlight, the two seemed to be facing each other.

Yakumo knew that Uchiha Tsuru was up to no good, and his right hand was already on the Glory Sword Box on his back. Although he did not make a move, he gradually began to gather his strength.

Calm your mind and gradually slow your breathing.

Under the moonlight, the three blood-red tomoe in Uchiha Tsuru's eyes spun rapidly like windmills, eventually converging into a new pattern, resembling three long, overlapping ovals.

"Kaleidoscope Sharingan".

Yakumo let out a soft breath, and a sense of being locked on his spiritual level was faintly felt.

However, his mind determined that this lock posed no threat.

"Is Hengyan's death truly unrelated to you?"

Uchiha Tsuru covered his left eye and asked.

"No, really."

Yakumo answered immediately.

Uchiha Tsuru was stunned upon hearing this, and astonishment gradually appeared on his face. Time slowly passed, and after more than ten seconds, Uchiha Tsuru bowed slightly.

"Please understand how I feel about losing my grandson. I apologize if I have disturbed or offended you in any way."

This scene caught Yakumo somewhat off guard.

Uchiha Tsuru's right eye ability is called Judgment.

When an enemy tries to evade a question with lies, the deceitful person's body will be set ablaze. He just used this technique on Yakumo, but the result was unexpected.

"It really wasn't him."

Uchiha Tsuru turned and left immediately. If it was Yakumo, he was willing to risk his life to avenge Hengyan. If it wasn't... he would spend his entire life finding the mastermind behind it all and then burn him to ashes with the flames of judgment.

"What's going on here?"

Yakumo withdrew his right hand from the Glory Sword Box, gradually calming the rising passion and fighting spirit in his heart, and continued running towards home.

Just now, Uchiha Tsuru must have confirmed through some means that he was not the murderer. Yakumo guessed that this unknown method might be related to the eye techniques derived from the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After returning home, Yakumo quickly washed up and went to bed.

The next day, Yakumo got up, dressed, and ate breakfast.

On his way to Konoha Hospital, he noticed a significant increase in the number of ANBU members in black, many of whom were on covert patrols.

The Konoha Police Department was held accountable that day.

Uchiha Hengyan was assassinated within the village, and the Konoha Police Department must bear responsibility for its inadequate defense.

All employees will have a portion of their year-end bonus and paid leave deducted.

In addition, the Konoha Guard, in conjunction with the Anbu, launched a new round of purges against spies from other villages within Konoha, while on the surface, Konoha remained peaceful and stable.

However, about ten people are arrested and brought to justice every day in secret.

Of course, these things have little to do with Yakumo.

Yakumo continued her regular daily routine, going to Konoha Hospital in the morning to cultivate and grow life cells, and using her transformation technique to have lunch in the afternoon.

After the meal, they went to the Konoha Cemetery to guide Yukotsu Chiyuki in her training.

Yakumo would occasionally take Yukotsu Chiyuki with him to search for old shops with decades of history on the streets of Konoha.

Savor the shop's signature dishes.

After dinner, the two would wander aimlessly through the streets.

As Yu Gu Qianxue gradually comes to see a larger world.

At the same time.

The Anbu were also conducting a comprehensive investigation into the death of Uchiha Hengyan, but after several thorough investigations, they were unable to find any useful clues.

The undercover investigation was completely completed by the end of November.

If you could summarize it in just four words.

"Completely clueless."

The uproar caused by the death of Uchiha Hengyan gradually subsided, and even Uchiha Tsuru, who wanted revenge the most, seemed to have given up on finding the murderer.

At the end of November, Sakumo Hatake personally visited Tsuru Uchiha to express his apologies and assured him that he would continue to investigate the culprit in the future.

But an unexpected situation arose...

Hatake Sakumo did not see Uchiha Tsuru.

in other words…

Uchiha Tsuru disappeared from his residence without a trace.

This incident once again stirred up trouble in Konoha. Uchiha Tsuru was not only the elder of the Uchiha clan, but also a powerful figure in the Konoha Police Department.

They were considered high-ranking members in Konoha.

The secret service immediately launched a new round of investigation and found that the doors and windows were undamaged and there were no signs of a fight inside.

Meanwhile, the secret service relied on the servants' accounts.

confirm…

Uchiha Tsuru left his residence voluntarily.

Under the orders of Sakumo Hatake.

The secret intelligence agencies of the Dark Side spread their net, and spies hidden in various countries began to investigate the whereabouts of Uchiha Tsuru through various channels.

But no trace was found.

Vanished without a trace.

In the end, it could only be attributed to his grief over the death of his grandson in his seventies, which led him to make the decision to leave home.

However, Yakumo felt that there must be something hidden about this matter, from the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, to the death of Uchiha Hengyan, and finally the disappearance of Uchiha Tsuru.

There must be some connection between these three things that he cannot understand.

Time flies like water... and it's the end of December in the blink of an eye.

Gold coins: 66700.

Yakumo lay on the bed, waiting for time to pass.

At the same time, the game interface will be brought up.

[Skill Interface]

initiative:

Wood Release: Mastery 0/3200 [Acceleration]

He repeatedly pressed the accelerator.

Memories of practicing Wood Release surged wildly through my mind.

It has lasted for a long time.

Some of these memories are repetitive, while others are incorrect.

However, Yakumo's proficiency with the Wood Release techniques is rapidly increasing.

Many insights about the Wood Release Manual came to mind.

Yakumo closed her eyes slightly, continuing to process the memories.

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes…

Add more points.

"Accelerate"... "Accelerate"

More memories flooded into Yakumo's mind, and within a few tens of minutes, Yakumo had the illusion that he had been practicing Wood Release ninjutsu for nearly a hundred years.

Looking at the scene inside the bedroom, a sense of dissonance suddenly arose.

Yakumo rubbed his throbbing temples.

I need time to process these surging memories.

He jumped up and pushed open the window.

He leaped onto the roof.

Yakumo lay on the roof tiles, gazing at the dazzling Milky Way.

It is precisely because of the vastness of the universe that we realize our own insignificance.

A few hundred years is insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe.

"call--"

Some cold air filled my lungs, and I felt invigorated.

Yakumo brought up the game interface again and continued to add points.

Speed up 150 times.
