Konoha's Mission Master

As the saying goes, it takes thirty years to save money, but only a moment to spend it.

Yakumo retrieved the Essence Stones from the game interface. Ninety-six stones, shimmering with iridescent light, were placed on the table, adding a touch of rainbow color to the room. He then took the Demon-Subduing Sword from the Glory Sword Box and placed it next to the Essence Stones.

With a thought, weapon enhancement begins...!

This is the first time Yakumo has used such a large quantity of essence stones to enhance the Fuma Blade; the seven-colored energy, like a flowing rainbow, wraps around the Fuma Blade.

As time passed... the seven-colored energy slowly merged into the blade. In Yakumo's perception, Fuma became more spiritual, not in the sense that it was developing a weapon spirit, but simply that its spirituality increased.

Furthermore, the various patterns on the blade blurred and disappeared, and the original blue five-pointed star and blood hand pattern faded away, leaving only two thin blue and red lines extending from the guard to the blade on the Demon-Subduing Blade.

The blue line represents breaking the spell, while the red line represents bloodsucking.

The former refers to amplification attributes, while the latter refers to enchanted gems.

A few minutes later, the enhancement was complete.

Yakumo felt an even greater sense of ease wielding the Demon-Slaying Blade. The silver blade seemed like an extension of his body; with a simple swing, silver light scattered, making the dim bedroom exceptionally bright.

[Subduing Demons]

Weapon type: Long sword (75.3 cm)

Increase rate: 271%

[Amplification Attribute - Breaking the Law]

[Breakthrough: Increases destructive power against energy defenses by 15%.]

Enchantment: Blood Shadow's Praise

[Blood Shadow's Praise: When a player is near death from damage, a temporary invulnerability effect is triggered, increasing their lifesteal percentage to 80% for the next three seconds. Damage dealt during this time is converted into energy in proportion, healing the player's body.]

Yakumo channeled his chakra into his weapon, and the Demon-Subduing Blade suddenly turned a bright gold, with golden arcs of electricity leaping across its blade.

This is a terrifying increase of 2.7 times.

If you add the pure, refined slash of the Extreme Blade Slash, and the five-fold burst of power when stacking energy... who in the ninja world today can withstand a single strike?

After a moment, Yakumo put away his Fuuma, as the main event of the night was to improve his Wood Release technique. He then crawled under the bed.

The shadow clone in the corner opened its eyes and became alert.

At this time, Yakumo possessed twelve Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls.

"call…"

Yakumo exhaled to adjust his somewhat heavy breathing, calming the excited blood in his heart. His mind gradually became clear, and there were no extraneous thoughts in his eyes.

initiative:

Wood Release: Secret Manual Master 3200/3200 'Breakthrough'

Yakumo's fingers twitched slightly, and he made a breakthrough with a light tap.

[Note: This process is irreversible and requires twelve Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls. Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls are extremely valuable; please consider carefully.]

Yes or No

Without hesitation, Yakumo lightly tapped "Yes!"

With a loud bang, Yakumo fainted.

His spirit separated from his body, and the light and shadow before his eyes twisted, and he returned to the emerald green planet where he had once broken through to the Master level of the Wood Release Manual.

The soul shattered into four parts, and four plant kings on the planet were resurrected, each occupying one of the four cardinal directions of the continent.

Instead of engaging in a major battle immediately, they focused on conserving their strength.

The land surrounding the four plant kings gradually turned to sand, as nutrients and water were completely absorbed, causing vegetation to die... Trees fell, and wild grasses withered and weathered...

Only the four plant kings grew more and more lush and verdant over time.

The massive canopy stretches for hundreds of kilometers, its dense foliage absorbing almost all the light and heat, causing the desert beneath it to gradually cool down.

Life on the entire planet faced extinction.

Half-dreaming and half-awake, hundreds of years passed. Yakumo's spiritual body floated in the void, quietly awaiting the final holy war.

As the aura of the four plant kings reached its peak, the four trees reacted at the same moment... Sand poured in, and dust flew more than a hundred meters away.

The four plant kings began their journey toward the center of the continent, their thick roots emerging from the soil and meandering like a swarm of snakes.

Finally, six months later... a chaotic battle broke out among the four trees.

Leaves, vines, roots, thorns, poisonous thorns, branches...

The war among plants was ruthless, yet the differences between the four were not significant, making it difficult to determine a winner. After all, each possessed approximately 25% of Yakumo's soul abilities.

Each of the four trees had its own unique characteristics. Just when Yakumo thought the battle would go on for a long time, the spiritual entity in the void suddenly raised its head.

On the other side of the distant Milky Way, a green comet is flying at an extremely fast speed; it is a shooting star wrapped in emerald green vines.

On that comet, Yakumo sensed a familiar aura, and this aura was even stronger than that of the four plant kings.

More than a decade later, the four kings of the planet were still fighting, but a comet on the other side of the Milky Way had broken through the atmosphere and was hurtling towards the center of the continent.

The four plant kings immediately sensed the arrival of the enemy, but they did not resist. Their huge trunks turned yellow and their leaves turned to ash, and their immense life force surged to their roots.

This is a desperate attempt to survive by cutting off one's tail.

The enemy was so powerful that they gave up resistance.

A comet struck the continent, and countless vines grew and spread, devouring the life force of the entire planet. A sea of ​​blood-red flowers gradually expanded outwards.

"Pray, pray, pray, pray!!"

A blood-red giant tree burst forth from the ground, and the aura of the four plant kings was completely swallowed up in a matter of seconds.

That blood-red ancient tree stretched upwards for tens of thousands of meters, its massive canopy reaching its center…

Flowers are conceived and grow.

A strong fragrance spread, and although the delicate red flowers in the tree canopy had not yet bloomed, their fragrance had already permeated the entire planet.

That crimson giant tree merged with Yakumo's entire soul, and at the same time... it also became the only ninjutsu derived from the Wood Release: Secret Technique at the Grandmaster level.

A red bead appeared in front of Yakumo's spiritual body. It was crystal clear, round and full, and shimmered with an extremely eerie red light.

Ding! The round bead merged into the spiritual body, nourishing the spirit like spring water. At the same time, many memories appeared in the mind. This is an even more powerful and concise Wood Release manual.

The planet beneath his feet had been turned blood red.

The light and shadow shifted abruptly, and Yakumo's spirit gradually returned to its original form.

The once verdant planet is rapidly withering away, all life being devoured by the giant red tree. Fiery red flowers, aided by vines, spread into the void, and the entire starry sky echoes with incomprehensible murmurs.

"Pray, pray, pray, pray..."

After Yakumo's spirit returned, he did not get up immediately, but instead processed the memories churning in his mind, which were divided into two parts.

First, it strengthens and simplifies Wood Release ninjutsu. In the future, when Yakumo uses the Wood Release Secret Manual, he will not only be able to use it without hand seals, but also reduce some chakra consumption.

Furthermore, the hardness, toughness, and vitality of the plants created by Wood Release have been greatly enhanced once again, and several special ninjutsu possess the characteristics of suppressing tailed beast chakra and sealing properties.

Secondly, introduce more entirely new ninjutsu.

Wood Release: Blood Jade Ancient Tree Descends.

This skill is extremely powerful and surpasses the quality of plants created by Wood Release in terms of quality. However, in terms of chakra consumption... it even surpasses the True Several Thousand Hands and the Top Transformed Buddha. It can be said to be another killing move by Yakumo.

Half an hour later, Yakumo opened his eyes. All the memories in his mind had been exhausted, and he had mastered many of the variations of the Wood Release Technique.

at this time…

Personal Skills

initiative:

Wood Release: Secret Technique Master 0/3800 [Acceleration]

Grandmaster: No-spell seal casting, reduced resource consumption, increased power.

"Use the Wood Release Secret Manual to enhance privileges."

[Note: This privilege carries some risks. Players are advised to take precautions. Teleportation is about to begin... 10, 9, 8, 7...]

"What?"

"Is there danger?"

"Wait...I'll...knock!"

Bang! Yakumo felt his body shattering... but a strange energy protected him from being torn apart. The unparalleled power around him was... a torrent of space, and he was being transported through the universe.

Yakumo's vision cleared, and his body was unharmed. It was as if the feeling of being cut was just his illusion. What he saw was an incredibly tall, blood-red giant tree, and he was standing above the blood-red giant flower.

This is... the planet where the Wood Release Technique broke through to the Grandmaster level. No... the planet has been completely devoured, leaving only the crimson giant tree standing in the starry sky, while its roots have extended to other star regions, constantly devouring.

This was a terror that Yakumo could not describe.

The petals slowly unfolded, and an overwhelming sense of oppression acted on the body, causing every cell to tremble with fear, and even the soul seemed to gradually freeze in the face of this power.

Yakumo's face turned deathly pale.

As the petals slowly unfolded, he increasingly felt that... the game system was planning to torture him to death. The creature at the center of the petals had already surpassed the Six Paths in combat power... a level he could not comprehend.

"Pray...pray, pray..."

Chaotic murmurs echoed in the void.

Yakumo suddenly found himself connected with the creature before him.

It was a very strange intuition; even the frozen souls came back to life, and the terrifying pressure gradually dissipated.

With a flash of light and shadow, Yakumo's figure disappeared.

He had achieved his goal of coming here and had already benefited from this unknown powerful being. For some reason, the unfamiliar creature in front of him had a scent that he found quite familiar.

At this moment, the giant flower was in full bloom.

Lying at the heart of the flower was a stunningly beautiful woman, completely naked, her emerald green eyes gazing at the spot where Yakumo had just been, a few alluring blushes appearing on her face.

"Five hundred epochs later, I've finally found you..."

"…Owner."
