Konoha's Mission Master

Yakumo turned around and went back home through the passage. He casually took out a blank scroll from his storage scroll and began to write down his notes.

The feasibility of fusing the genes of the Uchiha and Senju clans is extremely high, and it could give rise to a remarkably powerful talent.

Currently, whether there are any side effects remains uncertain.

Yakumo speculates…

There is approximately a 99.9% chance that there will be no side effects.

After a short half-hour of writing, Yakumo put down his pen.

Both Itachi Uchiha and Masako Mori were healed through Life Control. Yakumo would occasionally check on them and found no signs of side effects.

"Caution is still needed."

Genes are the foundation of the body, just like the most important foundation of a house; if something goes wrong, it will directly lead to the unexpected collapse of the building.

All Yakumo could do was... be careful, be careful, and be even more careful.

Half an hour later, Yakumo placed the medical record representing Uchiha Hengyan inside the storage scroll.

Only then did he stand up and go to the kitchen for a simple lunch.

Inside the secret room, Uchiha Ken'en was still fast asleep.

Yakumo drew his Fuma sword and practiced his swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Until dinner time.

Uchiha Tsuru led Uchiha Hengyan out of the secret room and expressed his sincere gratitude to Yakumo once again.

"For the next month, every five days... I need to check the gene fusion status. You can come to Konoha Hospital to find me around 10 a.m. at that time."

Before the two left, Yakumo gave them very serious instructions.

Uchiha Tsuru quickly stated that he would personally take Uchiha Hengyan to Konoha Hospital for check-ups every five days.

That evening, Yakumo went to her bedroom after washing up.

On his single bed lay a somewhat worn and damaged large-headed doll with bloodshot eyes, the bloody tears at the corners of its eyes seeming to thicken, and its mouth full of sharp teeth.

"The Vicious Curse of the Big-Headed Doll"

Item Types: Special Items, Rule Items

Item Status: Berserk State

Prop Description: An evil scientist dismembers a cute big-headed doll in an attempt to study its hidden secrets. After being dismembered and reassembled countless times, the cute big-headed doll eventually goes into a berserk state.

Current special effect: The extra Soul Devouring effect of the item is doubled!

Only death can quell the rage.

The good news is that the special item has returned on its own.

The bad news is that Orochimaru is still alive.

At this moment, in Ryūchi-dō.

Orochimaru's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was attacking his surroundings in a frenzied manner, but countless terrifying tremors could not shake the gray shadow in the slightest.

"Damn it, get away from me, get away from me!"

"Damn it!!"

"Hahaha... this time... I definitely won't lose!"

Chapter 293 Coordinates of Ryuchi Cave

Inside the bedroom, a painting titled "The Vicious Curse of the Big-Headed Doll" was placed on the bed.

Yakumo picked it up and examined it closely.

Previously it was just a bit old, but now there are many damaged parts, and you can see the doll's body filled with hair and black cotton inside.

Some of the hair strands were stained with blood, but Yakumo could not smell any blood at all.

Yakumo waved his hand slightly, and the gray mist rose up, forming a map.

It is approximately 1.2 meters long and 80 centimeters wide.

This time, the gray map is more realistic, with blood-red textures outlining the path between red and green dots.

Around that red dot... it's marked: "Ryuchi Cave".

Clearly, the curse becomes stronger when it enters a berserk state.

Orochimaru has unwittingly added to his own troubles, and it's foreseeable that he will be in a very difficult situation in the coming period.

Yakumo discovered that the red dots appearing on the map this time were much larger than the red dots that had appeared on the map before, which implicitly confirmed that Ryuchi Cave was indeed Orochimaru's lair.

At this moment... only one question remains.

That is... that...

How do I get to Ryuchi Cave?

Yakumo canceled the gray map, sealed the vicious curse of the big-headed doll with the Yin-Yang Seal, and placed the black and white ball on the desk.

He rolled over and lay down on the bed.

Now that the objective has been determined, the next step is to devise the correct methods to go to Ryuchi Cave and kill Orochimaru!

The next day, Yakumo got up and had breakfast.

According to the original plan, he used his senses to find Jiraiya.

Inside the tavern, the lighting was dim. Only a few ninjas were drinking at the bar in the spacious front hall, while most people went to the well-secluded private rooms.

In compartment 108, Yakumo found Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's face was flushed, and he reeked of alcohol.

There were many empty wine bottles on the table, and two wooden boxes under the table, filled with empty wine bottles.

"Here you are, Yakumo, let's drink together."

"drink!"

On the table… Tsunade, still tipsy, naturally continued.

That's right, Jiraiya wasn't drinking alone.

What's wrong with you two?

Yakumo sat down at the table and asked.

At the same time, I activated my senses. This tavern was specially designed for ninjas, and each cubicle was separated by walls, which well protected the ninjas' privacy.

Unfortunately... the walls of the cubicle couldn't block Yakumo's senses.

"Hiccup, after my investigation, I found..."

Jiraiya paused slightly and raised his wine glass.

Yakumo picked up where Jiraiya left off, laughing as he spoke.

"Yahiko's death is related to Orochimaru."

Jiraiya seemed to regain his senses in an instant, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and asked with some confusion.

How did you know?

"Of course it's a guess," Yakumo replied with a smile.

Why do you think he did that? What benefit would it bring him?

Jiraiya threw his wine glass on the table, his eyes suddenly filled with pain, doubt, and anger, as he launched into a series of questions.

Are you asking me?

Jiraiya nodded vigorously.

After a moment's thought, Yakumo tentatively began to analyze.

"He wanted to provoke Nagato Uzumaki and test the power of the Rinnegan."

Yakumo analyzed that this was the most likely reason.

"...Just because of this?"

Jiraiya picked up the sake bottle and took a big gulp.

"I guess that's the case. As for her... why is she depressed?"

Yakumo pointed to the unconscious Tsunade with his right hand.

"She is... because of Uchiha Hengyan's resurrection."

Tsunade gave a wry smile and explained.

"This? Uchiha Hengyan's resurrection doesn't even include her..."

"Could it be..."

"Does Master Tsunade have anyone she wants to revive?"

Jiraiya nodded.

"She wants to revive the Rope Tree."

"Is it only Rope Tree?"

Jiraiya nodded again.

The deaths of Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan caused Tsunade immense pain, but when faced with a choice between the two...

Tsunade, however, firmly chose Senju Nawaki.

“He was too young when Nawaki died, while Dan already had such a colorful life.” Tsunade got up from the table and covered her cheek with her palm.

"Unfortunately, the Rinnegan, which was the most crucial tool for resurrection, has been destroyed by me. It will take Madara Uchiha another ten years to regenerate the Rinnegan."
