Konoha's Mission Master

Chapter 258 Healing, Uchiha Itachi

On the bed in the bedroom.

Yakumo opened the game interface with practiced ease.

At this moment, the arena results were finalized, and he still failed to obtain the Eternal Scroll this year.

Level 5, Dr. Mundo... Not yet completed.

Yakumo updated her plans: master the Nine-Slash Technique within two months to face Dr. Mundo in the final battle. She opened the anniversary shop to check out this year's exclusive player items. To Yakumo's delight, she finally found a brand new item just for her this year.

Lucky Star EXD MAT

Item Category: Special Items

Item Description: As the name suggests, after use, it can greatly increase the player's hidden attribute Luck and trigger Strong Luck Passive three times, forcibly reversing the potentially disastrous process three times, ultimately creating a perfect result.

Item Price: 18888 (Player Only)

"Buy."

Gold coins: 60580 → 41692

Congratulations to the player for obtaining Lucky Star EXD MAT!

Yakumo made his decision without any hesitation, and had already decided in his heart to use it when healing Mori Masako. Increasing luck value was somewhat illusory, but Strong Luck Passive meant that he could reverse three negative processes.

Only in this way can perfection be achieved.

Yakumo waved his hand and closed the game interface.

The original plan was to purchase a Grandmaster Breakthrough Scroll to upgrade the Wood Release Manual, but now... he's only two Breakthrough Scrolls away from achieving the Grandmaster level Wood Release Manual.

The fact that he could cure Masako Mori was greater than his original plan. Yakumo was not made of wood or stone, so naturally he could not do everything for himself. It was understandable that he would change his goals and plans for the sake of his loved ones.

[Hint: Player has gained access to draw dungeon items.]

"This one is not bad."

In fact, there is no overall change. The only difference is that the rewards for the four quarterly tasks have been split and reorganized into annual tasks and the granting of drawing privileges. The 80,000 gold coins from the quarterly tasks have been deducted by the game system. This is a change made to the task system based on Yakumo's strength.

initiative:

Master of Palm Magic 0/3600 'Upgrade'

Yakumo's light touch boosts...

New memories flooded my mind.

But soon Yakumo's brows furrowed slightly; this memory wasn't pleasant at all... bloody and cruel.

In his memory, he was a cold and ruthless genetic experimenter who conducted gene fusion experiments on clones and slaves, his hands covered in blood every day.

This is an inevitable process, and the only way to increase the success rate of gene fusion is through repeated experiments hundreds and thousands of times.

Fortunately, this was just a virtual process.

In this process, Yakumo gained a deeper understanding of the genetic code. If what lay before him was a winding maze, then these memories were the foundation stones upon which the route was pieced together.

For a long time... it was repeated countless times.

Yakumo became intimately familiar with the cells of all things, and his eyes grew cold, as if his humanity had been gradually eroded by time.

The Palm Immortal Technique... after being enhanced, it has become somewhat dangerous. It is not only a skill to save lives, but it can also freely modify the human body as a toy, and can even cultivate deadly viruses that target genes.

Even if one is just a mortal, possessing this ability would be enough to defeat even the highest gods, let alone Yakumo, who is already extraordinary.

In the illusory space, the memories of all the surgical procedures were condensed into a scarlet sphere, filled with eeriness and foreboding, and even the space itself became more oppressive and bloody.

In that illusory world, too many living beings perished because of it.

A scarlet sphere floated in front of Yakumo's spiritual body, quietly awaiting fusion.

The light in the entire space dissipated, and it began to turn into darkness. The originally illusory spiritual entity gradually emitted a blue light.

Yakumo had no doubts and did not immediately reach out to merge with it, but simply waited for the changes in the illusory space. Finally, when the surroundings became completely dark and one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

He reached out his hand towards the scarlet memory sphere...

Tap lightly with your finger.

With a snap.

The scarlet sphere was gradually replaced by a blue glow, and finally merged perfectly with Yakumo's spiritual body.

On the bed in the bedroom, Yakumo did not get up immediately, but patiently absorbed the memories churning in his mind.

This is more profound, obscure, complex, and bloody knowledge than Orochimaru's manuscript.

A few hours later... as dawn broke on the horizon.

Yakumo sat up…

[Ding-dong, would you like to rename the Palm Healing Technique?]

"Rename... Life in Control"

The section on the personal interface that belonged to the Palm Healing Technique quickly became blurry, and a few seconds later the name that had been changed appeared in Yakumo's eyes.

initiative:

Life Mastery 2085/3600 『Upgrade』

[Note: This skill will undergo a transformation after breaking through to the Dao Transformation level.]

"call…"

Yakumo knew that the enhanced Palm Healing Technique had become much more powerful, even allowing him to control changes at the genetic level. For example… Yakumo could alter his own genes to become the object of someone's love at first sight, or he could subtly make someone absolutely loyal to him.

This manipulation is like the work of a god.

Similarly, this is also dangerous.

Yakumo decided to use this skill with caution... he must use it with caution.

"bump."

A brand new shadow clone has appeared.

Select a direction immediately... and set off.

At this moment, the main body is enjoying breakfast prepared by the shadow clone, and he is thinking about whether to make himself stronger through genetic modification.

Many feasible methods have already emerged in his mind, such as fusing gene fragments from the Senju and Uchiha clans.

By gathering the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan within one's body to enhance chakra control, or... by fusing with animal genes to gain abilities such as generating electricity, immense strength, super-fast regeneration, flight, and earth-burrowing...

Yakumo quickly dismissed these ideas.

If you fuse animal genes, you have to bear the consequences of animal instincts: the sugar-loving genes of ants, the thirst for seawater of electric eels… I remember someone who fused with dung beetle genes…

In short, it's a long story.

Currently, the safest option is the Otsutsuki gene, but... Yakumo is currently unable to determine whether the Otsutsuki gene has any hidden or unknown side effects.

The ironclad rule of gene fusion is…

It should be said that

The fundamental laws of the world and the universe are...

Exchange equal amounts.

What you gain, you will inevitably lose.

When you possess something, you must pay a price.

"Actually, being an ordinary person... is pretty good."

Yakumo dismissed those somewhat dangerous thoughts from her mind. With her unique talent, she believed she would one day become a cosmic-level powerhouse. Besides… genetic fusion inherently has flaws.

"You take pride in your bloodline."

"I discard them like ants."

After the meal at Yakumo's place, Fugaku Uchiha visited, carrying Itachi Uchiha in his arms.

In the past few months, when Yakumo was in Konoha, he would take the time to nourish and harmonize Itachi Uchiha's body, and the condition of insufficient vitality was gradually improving.

Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha were naturally unaware of these subtle changes, but they could confirm the effectiveness of the treatment by Itachi Uchiha's increasingly powerful physique.

From then on... Fugaku Uchiha would take the initiative to visit Itachi Uchiha after breakfast. No matter how busy he was with work, he never missed a visit, which shows how much Fugaku Uchiha loved Itachi Uchiha.

"Yakumo-sama."

"Haha, hey."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded in greeting.

Uchiha Itachi, nestled in his arms, let out a clear laugh at Yakumo. Although he couldn't speak yet, he had already memorized Yakumo.

Every time I see this uncle, I feel incredibly comfortable, and naturally, I develop a lot of goodwill towards him.

"Good morning, Lord Fugaku... and little Itachi."

Yakumo smiled and stepped aside, allowing Fugaku Uchiha to carry Itachi Uchiha into the living room, while greeting him with a smile.

The shadow clone in the corner reluctantly got up to make tea.

"Um... Lord Yakumo, there's no need to make tea."

Fugaku Uchiha quickly intervened.

"This treatment is a little different. If nothing unexpected happens... we won't need to bring Little Weasel to visit after today."

Yakumo poked Itachi's round face with his right hand and said to Fugaku.

"Could it be..."

Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat surprised, since if he didn't need to continue visiting for treatment, there was only one possibility: a complete cure.

The stone that had been piling up in his heart for more than half a year could finally be completely removed.

At this moment, the smile on his face gradually became uncontrollable, and coupled with his hawk-like eyes, there was a hint of ferocity in them. The name "Ferocious Eyes Fugaku" was well-deserved.

"That's right, this time it can be completely cured."

After Yakumo completely mastered life control, dealing with Itachi Uchiha's problem was child's play; there was virtually no chance of failure...
