Konoha's Mission Master

Yakumo answered truthfully.

"Ten years..."

Tsunade, still half-asleep, let out a soft sigh.

Ten years is too long; countless changes could occur. Within these ten years, Konoha is very likely to find Uchiha Madara and directly eliminate the possibility of a second pair of Rinnegan.

“Resurrection is something that can easily lead to the collapse of order.”

Yakumo said in a deep voice, "When life and death can be changed at will, then the value of life and death will become worthless."

At that time, no one will revere life, nor will anyone fear death.

The resurrection of Senju Nawaki is just the beginning; in the future, there will inevitably be a need to resurrect members of the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, and other clans.

They could even directly revive Hashirama Senju.

It is foreseeable that the Rinnegan's abilities will inevitably be abused due to personal desires.

After Uchiha Hengyan was resurrected, Orochimaru became an instant hot commodity. This is the most direct effect of the ability to turn the tide of life and death.

"Is that why you destroyed the Rinnegan?"

Tsunade asked Yakumo, her tone somewhat reproachful.

"No, that's not it. I was seriously injured at the time, while Madara Uchiha was completely unharmed. I did that to prevent Madara Uchiha from obtaining the Rinnegan."

Yakumo denied it.

"Oh, I see." Tsunade slumped back onto the table.

She had already accepted the fact that Senju Nawaki was dead, but Uchiha Hengyan's resurrection was like a glimmer of hope, igniting in her heart the idea of ​​reviving Senju Nawaki.

Once an idea transforms into a desire, it is difficult to stop once it begins.

Only death can end it completely.

"Yakumo, what brings you here?" Jiraiya asked again.

"There is indeed something going on."

Yakumo glanced at Tsunade and found her lying on the table without any regard for her appearance, seemingly asleep, but her mind was highly focused.

Clearly, she was eavesdropping.

"Orochimaru's lair is Ryuchi Cave. I would like to ask if the Great Toad Sage has a way to get to Ryuchi Cave."

Yakumo opened his mouth.

Jiraiya put down his sake cup.

"Can this be confirmed?" Jiraiya asked.

"I'm 80% confident; it's worth a try!"

"It just so happens that I'm also looking for Orochimaru's whereabouts, so I'll accompany you to Mount Myōboku." Jiraiya stood up, exhaling a long breath of alcohol, the drunkenness on his face quickly dissipating.

He is using chakra to expel the alcohol from his body.

Jiraiya held the Great Toad Sage in the highest esteem, and his drunken state just now was clearly unsuitable for paying homage to the Great Toad Sage.

"I am coming too!"

Tsunade sprang up from the table in a flash.

Yakumo did not refuse, and Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

"Set off."

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals.

"Reverse psychic techniques".

The space shifts, and enormous plants block out the sky.

The air suddenly became very fresh, and the most obvious change was that the surrounding natural energy became incredibly abundant.

In such an area, the power generated by using Sage Mode should be far greater than that of the ninja world.

The oxygen concentration in the air was extremely high, and the air was filled with the clear croaking of frogs.

This is Mount Myoboku.

Yakumo quietly released his senses, passing by the foot of the mountain, gliding over the peaks, and finally surging into the ancient-style hall.

In his perception, he saw the sleeping giant toad sage.

The amount of Sage Chakra was terrifying, like an extremely deep lake gathering within that enormous body, and it devoured natural energy with each breath.

The three stood at the foot of the mountain, waiting quietly.

A few minutes later, the cloaked hermit Fukasaku appeared at the foot of the mountain. Only with his guidance could the group visit the Great Toad Hermit.

“I understand why you’ve come, but there are no coordinates for Ryuchi Cave on Mount Myōboku.”

"May I ask, sir... where can I find the coordinates of Ryuchi Cave?"

Jiraiya asked.

"The three of you might as well ask about Shikubun Forest."

The immortal, Fukasaku, squatted on the blue stone and bowed.

"Understood, then I won't disturb the immortal." Jiraiya nodded.

They formed hand seals and the three disappeared.

From the beginning, Yakumo carefully sensed the changes in Fukasaku's tone and was almost certain that he was not lying about this matter.

The space shifted, and the three arrived at Konoha Village.

"Shall we go to Shikkotsu Forest?" Yakumo asked.

Tsunade shook her head firmly.

"Need not."

Forming hand seals.

"Spirit Spell!"

With a loud bang, white smoke billowed up.

A slug the size of a fist appeared on the table, its tentacles naturally outstretched.

"Tsunade... Oh, and Yakumo and Jiraiya too."

A clear, childlike voice rang out, and Tsunade naturally returned to her seat, picked up her wine glass, and took another big gulp.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to drink less?"

The slug adjusted its antennae somewhat displeased, and its fist-sized body quickly crawled towards Tsunade's location.

"Slug Sage, this communication is to inquire about the coordinates of Ryuchi Cave," Yakumo asked respectfully.

"Oh my, you little brat, how did you know the coordinates to Ryuchi Cave that I have?"

The fist-sized slug turned around and asked, puzzled.

"Ahem." Jiraiya coughed lightly.

"So it was because of those stinky toads on Mount Myōboku."

When Mount Myōboku was mentioned, the slug hermit's tone was noticeably unfriendly, as if he were recalling some unpleasant memories.

"Although I do possess the coordinates, due to an agreement, I can only use them when a devastating catastrophe occurs in the three holy lands."

A few seconds later, the Slug Immortal spoke with some shame.

"An agreement?" Yakumo asked.

“That’s right, it’s an agreement. It’s a contract that was established when the three holy lands were founded, so I can’t give the coordinates to anyone.”

"Ahem..." Yakumo coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the three.

"According to the information I have, Orochimaru has completely taken over Ryuchi Cave, and the White Snake Sage, as well as all the sages in Ryuchi Cave who have mastered Sage Chakra, are dead."

“That’s impossible…” the slug immortal immediately retorted.

For a thousand years, the three holy sites have been vying for supremacy.

Slug Sage was well aware of White Snake Sage's fighting prowess.

When combined with the abundant natural energy of Ryuchi Cave, it can even barely hold its own against the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, without being at a disadvantage.

How could the White Snake Sage possibly die at Orochimaru's hands!

Even the Slug Sage, and even Yakumo himself, were unaware of...

When Yakumo improves his swordsmanship, the mysterious passage linked by the game system leads to Ryuchi Cave.

During several breakthroughs, Yakumo absorbed a large amount of natural energy, which directly affected the concentration of natural energy in Ryuchi Cave.

This indirectly led to... the death of the White Snake Immortal.

Just as Orochimaru declared.

"Yakumo-kun, you made me who I am!"

"That's true."

Yakumo extended a finger and gently touched the slug sage's antennae.

A dozen seconds later, the Slug Immortal spoke up in dejection.

"Okay... I can sense that you're not lying."

"Can you provide the coordinates of Ryuchi Cave?" Yakumo asked.

"That's fine. When do you plan to use it?"

The Slug Immortal immediately replied that the White Snake Immortal was already dead, and the agreement made by the three immortals was naturally null and void.

Even... it will need to be wary of attacks from Mount Myoboku in the future.

"Two months from now," Yakumo replied.

After receiving a positive answer, Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief. Having confirmed the Slug Sage's method of reaching Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru's life began its countdown.
