Konoha's Mission Master

"Yakumo, could I borrow your bathroom to take a shower?"

Yakumo flatly refused her request to stay and take a bath, showing no regard whatsoever. Mori Masako's resentful gaze sent her home.

Yakumo returned to the room, quickly washed up, and then lay down on the bed, opening the game interface with a smile on her face.

Anniversary celebration, limited-time events, more than just flash sales!

Anniversary Celebration: Limited-Time Store Specials!

Yakumo opened the anniversary shop with practiced ease, found the exclusive in-game items for players, and looked on with anticipation.

The Brilliance of Blank Space

Item Type: Special Item - Causality Rank

Item Description: What can be used to exchange for nothingness?

How to use: Pay the price, this item will change any form and grant the player the item or ability they desire, including immortality or reversing life and death, as long as you can afford the price.

Note: This item will break after use.

Item Price: 0 Gold Coins

The true price of this item will be paid when Yakumo makes a wish upon it... and at that time, he will not have the power to refuse.

Yakumo clicked to buy, and a pure white crystal appeared in his hand, radiating a white light, as if containing a vast starry sky inside.

It feels warm to the touch, and is full of sacred meaning.

For some reason, this item gave Yakumo a very bad feeling, as if beneath its pure white exterior lay the face of a demon.

Yakumo took out a prop, the vicious curse of the big-headed doll, and placed it on the table in front of him, while asking a question.

What will be the cost of repairing it?

The brilliance of the blank space immediately provided an answer.

"10% of the soul or 10 years of lifespan."

[Note: This cost can be waived with 20000 gold.]

"Wow, what a hefty price to pay."

Yakumo stored the brilliance of the blank space into a storage scroll.

For some reason, he always felt that he would encounter something in the future that required him to change things, and that would be the reason he would use this tool.

It's like some kind of causal curse.

All he could do was to increase his strength as much as possible before the curse occurred, so that the tragedy would not happen again.

Yakumo waved his hand and opened the Dao Transformation Scroll.

[Anniversary Limited-Time Shop]

'Taoist Scroll' (Limited-time discount)

Item Price: 45000 Gold Coins

Quantity remaining: 2

Yakumo bought two tickets with a wave of his hand.

Gold coins: 110200-90000, remaining: 20200.

The game panel is closed.

Yakumo stood up and casually placed the curse of the prop, the Big Head Doll, into a storage scroll using the Yin-Yang Seal.

Currently, Yakumo has two Dao Transformation Scrolls remaining, and an additional 20,000 gold coins, which can be used to further upgrade the Wood Release Secret Manual.

After thinking for a moment, Yakumo sat back down on the bed.

He originally planned to fly into the sky to upgrade the Wood Release Manual, but he chose to give up. What if he could improve his intelligence attribute recently?

In fact, Yakumo had a sure way to obtain free attribute points, which was the eighth floor of the arena. Unfortunately, Yakumo made several attempts, but each time he was burned to ashes by the enemy.

He no longer expected himself to be able to clear the eighth floor.

Of course, it's just that we can't defeat it for the time being.

Tonight... I might as well try out a dungeon run.

Yakumo took out sandalwood incense and lit it to calm himself down.

I sat cross-legged on the bed.

He silently chanted in his heart... "May the Heavenly Lord Laozi hasten your wish!"

An ancient roulette wheel appeared before his eyes, waiting for a destined person. Yakumo observed it carefully and found that there were a great many copy worlds on the roulette wheel... Among them, the more familiar ones were Bleach, One Piece, Detective Conan, and Toriko.

Of course, there's also Hunter x Hunter.

Yakumo took advantage of his unpreparedness and lightly extracted the item.

The roulette wheel spun faster and faster than Yakumo could make out the names of the various dungeons on it, but the marks of chiseling and carving became more and more obvious.

After a dozen seconds, the pointer slowly came to a stop.

All that remained before Yakumo's eyes was a dazzling purple light.

This result... is neither good nor bad. It's not quite the guaranteed blue, but it's not the most rewarding gold either.

Congratulations on obtaining the Dragon Lord dungeon!

Special Dungeon: The Darkness of the Torrent of Rain!

Dungeon Description: On a stormy night, players will enter Highway Zero as travelers, taking on the role of Chu Tianjiao and facing Odin!

Dungeon restrictions: Player strength will be partially suppressed!

Mission objective: Kill Deadpool and the unknown Dragon King!

Task Rewards: Dao Transformation Scroll, four free attribute points.

Bonus: A mystery grand prize awaits!

A brief introduction to the dungeon's story appeared before Yakumo's eyes.

This is a level-clearing type of dungeon. Because of his strength, participating in this type of dungeon will result in an overwhelming situation, in order to increase the fun of the game.

The game system limited some of his abilities.

Of course, the extent of this suppression is currently unknown, but at least it won't be the beginning of hell mode, since the dungeons are too difficult and will discourage players.

[Hint: Do you wish to enter the dungeon now?]

Yes or no?

After a brief hesitation, Yakumo ultimately chose to give up.

It's almost 1 a.m., and he promised Mori Masako he wouldn't stay up too late, so he has no choice but to temporarily abandon the exploration of this instance.

Goodnight, Makka Pakka.

The next day, Yakumo sat up in bed and sensed Minato Namikaze's presence near his home.

Minato Namikaze was squatting in the courtyard, studying a few purple orchids.

"You've arrived. Are you here to set up Ryuchi Cave?"

“That’s right. I didn’t expect you, Yakumo, to have such a high level of expertise in growing flowers. This dragon-neck long-leaf orchid is extremely picky about its environment, but I didn’t expect it to flourish to such an extent in your home.”

Minato Namikaze spoke with a hint of admiration.

"Under the Wood Release, all flowers are equal."

"So it was made using Wood Release to ripen it. To be honest... Kushina really liked this orchid, but unfortunately, I failed dozens of times before I was able to make it bloom successfully."

"Wait a minute, I'll come to your house and help you ripen it. I guarantee that this flower will remain in full bloom for the next three years."

Minato bowed in gratitude. He had originally intended to ask Yakumo for the cultivation method, but he didn't expect to have to trouble someone else again.

"Let's go."

Yakumo took out the key to Ryuchi Cave, began to inject chakra into it, and reached out to grasp Minato Namikaze.

After about ten seconds, the chakra was fully charged.

With a flash of light and shadow, the two figures appeared in Ryuchi Cave.

When Minato Namikaze saw the surrounding buildings, he was immediately stunned. He hadn't expected that Yakumo had transformed Ryuchi Cave into this state.

The unique tree roots emitted a gentle white light, their twisted and intertwined shapes illuminating the surroundings with unparalleled brightness.

The air is fresh and filled with the fragrance of plants.

Yakumo snapped his fingers.

Nearly a hundred dragon-neck long-leaved orchids immediately sprouted in the corner and bloomed in unison. The alluring fragrance of the flowers permeated Minato Namikaze's nostrils, causing his expression to naturally relax.

"Just pick one, take it home and throw it in the soil and it will bloom for a long time."

This thing is a creation of Yakumo's chakra. Although the fragrance is alluring, it has lost some of the natural growth and has become more like a clichéd artificial creation.

"Haha, one is enough."

Clearly, Minato Namikaze understood that while Wood Release creations were incredibly skillful, they still differed from naturally growing flowers.

"That room is the delivery room I designed for Kushina. You can modify it as you like."

Yakumo pointed to the wooden house next to him and said.

Yakumo excavated a space 30 meters high and 500 meters long in Ryuchi Cave.

Within this space, white tree roots converge to form a roof for lighting, while tree roots resembling wooden planks converge to form a platform underfoot.

Using the power of Wood Release, he built five wooden houses, each about three meters tall, as a secret base for Yakumo and his friends.

At the center of the platform, there is a rather conspicuous giant gate.

It is about two meters long, and its color is blood red with some complex patterns that vaguely form several characters.

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze... has never seen these words.
