Konoha's Mission Master

But he doesn't like others using things he's used.

He grabbed a ninja sword and rushed outside.

During the years he reigned as the king of Blackrock City.

In one crushing battle after another…

He lost the caution of a ninja.

"brush."

Under the cover of night, a drop of water descended rapidly from a great distance, piercing through the chest almost in the blink of an eye.

Flowers of blood bloom.

This ended his sinful life.

But he set off warning fireworks before he died.

In all sorts of wooden houses.

Dozens of burly men, dressed in disheveled clothes, quickly emerged.

They were carrying all sorts of weapons.

Chapter 227 Return to Konoha, Early Exploration

Among this group of people…

The three leaders were none other than Chunin from the mountain stronghold.

You Gu Qianxue drew the second long sword from behind her.

There was no fear in his eyes.

"Bang, bang."

Two shadowy figures separated behind him.

That's right...

For the past two years, he has mainly been training in swordsmanship under Yakumo.

That doesn't mean he only has swordsmanship as a skill; You Gu Qianxue's shadow clones are practicing day and night...

"Water Release: Compassion!!"

In the hands of Yukotsu Chiyuki…

Countless water droplets are converging.

It floats quietly in the palm of your hand.

next second.

Water droplets splashed out, accompanied by a flash of silver light!

The pale blue water droplets moved extremely fast and had a tremendous impact. Blood flowers bloomed continuously, and two shadow clones quickly slaughtered the surrounding bandits.

even…

The three Chunin were also terrified by the sudden turn of events; the enemy's methods far exceeded their expectations.

With a wave of his hand, You Gu Qianxue sent dozens of water droplets flying again, and people fell one after another, but his expression remained calm, indifferent to the deaths of those around him.

When all was quiet, only four people remained in the room.

With a wave of his hand, Yukotsu Chiyuki continued to spray countless water droplets, directly crossing layers of space and attacking the three Chunin. As a descendant of the Senju clan, the amount of chakra within him had long exceeded that of a Kage, and he was not afraid of a war of attrition.

This is a talent that even Yakumo would envy.

Blood splattered everywhere at his feet…

Yu Gu Qianxue swooped down like a large bird, approaching the enemy with her twin blades crossed in front of her, gradually gathering her strength…

Using the water droplets, he successfully approached one of the Chunin.

The man held his weapon horizontally in front of his chest in an attempt to defend himself.

Between the two of them, a thick, heavy fog rose.

It instantly blocked the vision of the three Chunin.

Yukotsuki's arms, gripping the sword, swelled slightly, filled with a massive amount of chakra. Pale golden arcs of electricity danced across her body, and she smashed open a series of craters beneath her feet.

The distance between the few people in the room became extremely close in the blink of an eye…

"Mighty Slash - Ferocious Fang!"

Amidst the thick fog, the speed of the twin blades suddenly exploded.

The silver blade light was like the fangs of a ferocious beast, and it encountered almost no resistance... You Gu Qianxue's body broke through the thick fog.

In the mist, three figures had been beheaded.

You Gu Qianxue waved her hand, shaking off the blood on the blade.

A fleeting look of weariness crossed his eyes.

Although he dealt with the enemy with lightning speed, his physical strength and chakra were also greatly depleted. Yukotsu Chiyuki took out two soldier pills from her ninja tool bag and swallowed them.

Yakumo remained hidden in the shadows and did not appear.

Without hesitation, You Gu Qianxue changed direction and headed towards another mountain stronghold, intending to resolve this crucial trial in one go.

Murder is simpler than he believed.

It's even easy...

Now, he wants a perfect score.

Yakumo created shadow clones.

They rescued the trapped women and caravan in the mountain stronghold.

The main body quickly descended the mountain and found Mori Masako... The two followed closely behind Yukotsu Chiyuki, heading quickly towards the second mountain stronghold.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

The second stronghold has been destroyed.

One of the senior Chunin fled quickly despite knowing he was outmatched. It took Yukotsu Chiyuki ten minutes to kill him at the foot of the mountain, and she was struck on the right arm by the enemy's dying counterattack, leaving a bloody gash.

Yakumo created shadow clones to finish off the attackers and delivered the final blow to the one who was feigning death.

At the same time, he liberated the women in the prison and distributed a certain amount of money to them for their travel expenses. As for their fate afterward, that was not within Yakumo's consideration.

The three returned to the inn as the sun rose.

Yakumo has finished bandaging Yukotsu Chiyuki's right arm.

You Gu Qianxue's clothes were stained red with the enemy's blood, and his face could no longer hide his exhaustion, but the most prominent emotion in his eyes was tension.

He was waiting for Yakumo to grade the trial.

"With a maximum score of 100, you can only get 80 points."

Yakumo's face was serious.

You Gu Qianxue's eyes immediately dimmed.

After a slight pause, Yakumo continued.

"I'll only point out the shortcomings... In the mist, the pursuit of a quick kill consumed too much of our stamina. We rushed directly to the second stronghold without any rest. This decision was obviously a bit reckless, especially later when we were chasing the enemy. We lost the most important caution for a ninja and were almost killed by the enemy."

Yukotsu Chiyuki bowed her head and accepted Yakumo's criticism.

"The reason for this trial is not only to kill the enemy, but also to redeem ordinary people. Your reaction to the civilians who were kidnapped by bandits was too indifferent."

Upon hearing this, You Gu Qianxue's expression changed slightly.

But in the end, he still said it.

"Understood... I'll save them next time."

He had his own ideas, but ultimately chose to comply.

Yakumo always hoped that Yuuki Chiyuki could become a righteous person.

It seems that Yuuki Chiyuki is not interested in justice; what he truly cares about is the mission issued by Yakumo.

Or perhaps it's Yakumo's assessment of him.

"Qianxue, go take a shower first... then come downstairs for dinner."

After breakfast, Yakumo began to complete her daily tasks.

Yukotsu Chiyuki returned to her room to rest under Yakumo's orders. The fierce battle of the night had greatly depleted her physical strength and chakra, and she needed to rest to recover.

The climate in Blackrock City is somewhat dry, and the wind is quite fierce and biting, like countless dense daggers.

On the street, most of the shops have walls made of huge piles of stones, which look rugged and bold.

However, over the years, the surface becomes uneven and loses its original hardness due to the erosion of wind and sand.

Yakumo and Mori Masako covered their heads with dark straw hats.

The two strolled around the street.

Occasionally, I buy some local specialties.

Blackrock City is famous for its lifelike stone carvings.

Yakumo summoned the Milk Ball and spent money to buy three miniature stone sculptures, which looked quite lifelike and had a certain charm.

The stall owner looked to be around fifty years old, his face etched with the marks of time and wrinkles, but his hands had large, strong knuckles.

This is clearly a craftsman with decades of experience.

A few days later, the three set off on a different route.

On his way back to Konoha, the bandits he encountered were dealt with by Yukotsu Chiyuki, and the series of battles made him more accustomed to killing.

In this process.
