Konoha's Mission Master

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't risk my life."

Masako Mori made a very serious guarantee, which put Yakumo at ease, and he went to Konoha Hospital to carry out the cultivation of life cells.

In the afternoon, as always, I went to the Uchiha clan's territory to guide Uchiha Itachi and Yukotsu Chiyuki's training.

At that moment, Yakumo suddenly remembered.

Yuuki Chiyuki might also be suitable to learn Sage Mode, but the scroll of Sage Mode is currently in Mori Masako's hands, and he has no backup, so he can only postpone it for now.

That night, Yakumo once again stayed out all night.

High in the air, allocate points to the Intelligence attribute.

As the gentle energy spread, Yakumo felt as if he were floating on air, experiencing an incredibly blissful ten minutes.

Intelligence: 78.0 (learning ability, mental resilience)

The world became clearer, as if a thin layer of mist had been removed, and the range of the Eye of the Soul reached a terrifying kilometer.

It can be said that Yakumo can be aware of any changes within a kilometer.

However, the Eye of the Soul consumes very little energy and can be maintained for a long time. After resting for an hour, it can run for a whole day.

Now Yakumo was finally able to carry out a plan, his figure continuously descending until he reached an altitude of about 800 meters, and flew over the Senju clan's territory.

Yakumo wanted to observe what Senju Nawaki was doing.

From the perspective of the Eye of the Soul, the vast Thousand Hands territory contained the life force of fewer than ten people.

Six of them were older servants.

They dedicated their lives to the Senju clan, and even in their old age when they were unable to work, they still needed to be supported by the Senju clan.

in addition…

Tsunade and Nawaki's auras were separated by only a wall.

Clearly, she was worried that someone might harm her younger brother, which is why she specifically moved her bedroom next to the rope tree.

This kind of protection has become somewhat distorted.

An excessively strong obsession can lead to madness.

Obsession is also a demon.

When a feeling exceeds a certain limit, it loses its original form.

Tsunade's protection of Nawaki has become distorted.

Yakumo uses the Eye of the Soul to divert attention.

Senju Nawaki was not asleep at this moment. Instead, his body trembled slightly with long breaths. With each tremor, the cells in his body would change under the nourishment of chakra.

It is bursting with life, like a plant sprouting.

His face grew increasingly cold and even evil, his features bearing the shadow of Orochimaru, becoming less and less like the Nawaki of our memories.

Yakumo was right. Orochimaru's part of his soul housed his legacy. When Nawaki craved power, how could he possibly refuse such a vast treasure?

Unfortunately, this treasure is full of traps or deadly poison.

High in the sky, Yakumo slowly withdrew his Soul Eye. If he disregarded his promise and struck directly with his sword, Senju Nawaki would not survive the night.

But that would mean Tsunade would completely break ties with him.

"Hey."

Since Rope Tree hasn't done anything wrong, he has no reason to take action. He can't just kill someone based on his own guesses.

Two days later, Yakumo handed the scroll that Mori Masako had finished reading to Yukotsu Chiyuki so that she could read it, and once again instructed her not to start actual practice lightly.

Sorrowful bones, like a thousand snowflakes, have always been obedient.

Yakumo wasn't too worried that he would act on his own.

Three days later, Yakumo visited Minato Namikaze to retrieve the key to Ryuchi Cave. He discovered that Minato had completed the replica, creating two triangular keys using silver as the medium.

Yakumo has rethought his plan; he needs about eight keys, so he can only continue to ask Minato Namikaze to work hard.

He then took the triangular key to test it.

Yakumo channeled his chakra into it, and in less than ten seconds, a familiar feeling emerged, and the scene before him became very blurry.

When the three opened their eyes, they had already arrived at Ryuchi Cave.

Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yukotsu curiously looked around at the scenery.

Before the teleportation, Yakumo had already explained to the two that their destination was Ryuchi Cave, but the scene before them was far beyond their imagination. Under the bright light, it was hard to imagine that they were deep underground.

Yakumo looked at the key in his hand with some surprise.

He marveled at Minato Namikaze's incredible talent; his creation, completed in about a month, was so perfect. It not only reduced the chakra consumption during teleportation but also enhanced its stability.

The two did not forget their true purpose for this trip. After observing for a while, they sat cross-legged on the wooden plank and slowly closed their eyes.

Today, the two will practice Sage Mode.

"Adjust your breathing and clear your mind."

"Feel the natural energy in the air."

Yakumo used Sage Mode techniques to gather the surrounding natural energy around the two of them.

At the same time, coupled with the restriction of the surrounding blood-red tree roots, the natural energy in this small space is so concentrated that it is visible to the naked eye.

The two closed their eyes, and their breathing gradually became long and deep.

As time went by...

Masako Mori was the first to sense the natural energy in the air, and under her control, the natural energy entered her body and mixed with her chakra.

In the first few seconds, the mixing went very smoothly, and it looked like Masako Mori was about to create the first strand of Sage Chakra.

Suddenly, that wisp of natural energy surged violently, separated directly, and became even more difficult to control, like a naughty child that was hard to restrain. Just as it was about to destroy Mori Masako's body.

She felt a large, warm hand pressing against her back, and the unruly, uncontrollable natural energy was being drawn directly from her body.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Let's try again."

Yakumo withdrew his hand and expelled the wisp of natural energy from his body.

Not long after, Yougu Qianxue also began her first attempt. At first, everything was perfect, but she failed when she was close to success.

Once again, Yakumo extracted that wisp of raging natural energy.

Masako Mori, standing next to her, had already failed for the second time.

Not long after, Yukotsu Chiyuki also experienced her second failure.

Clearly, there was something wrong with their mindset.

"Clap clap clap, stop for a second."

The two opened their eyes and looked at Yakumo.

"When you are close to success, joy will naturally arise in your heart, but this joy will disrupt your inner peace and tranquility."

"When condensing the power of nature, one must not have any distracting thoughts."

"Joy and sorrow are both considered distracting thoughts."

The two nodded and started trying again.

Sage Mode.

The first step is to find a detached and peaceful mindset.

The second step is to absorb and integrate chakra.

Although the two understood the reasons for their failure, emotions are not so easy to control. Failure brings frustration, and success brings joy—this is an instinctive reaction.

This is a difficult but extremely important first step. If they cannot overcome this hurdle, they are destined to fail.

As time went on, the two failed one after another.

"It requires entering a meditative state and seeking stillness."

Yakumo gently stroked Mori Masako's hair and comforted her, while Yuuki Chiyuki silently swallowed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a public display of affection).

"A calm mind is like still water."

Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yuuki nodded, indicating that they understood.

Keep trying…

Several hours passed, and the two failed nearly ten times.

Mental exhaustion is almost inevitable, and one may even become irritable.

Yakumo opened his mouth.

"That's all for today. After I get home tonight... I'll seek some peace and quiet!"

The three linked arms and channeled chakra into each other.

They disappeared in Ryuchi Cave.

Chapter 311 Naruto Uzumaki, Birth

After dinner, Masako Mori did not request to spar with Yakumo.

Instead, I sat quietly on the grass, seeking inner peace.

This is Yakumo's suggestion: to find inner peace and the flow of natural energy in an atmosphere close to nature.

In fact, this step was very difficult for Masako Mori. Most of her bloodline came from the Uzumaki and Senju clans, and her personality was very similar to that of Kushina Uzumaki. She was a girl who couldn't sit still or stay at home.

Such a girl is like the wind and fire, definitely not like a still mountain.

Masako Mori's stubborn, extreme, and even somewhat insane side was something she carefully concealed, even though... Yakumo failed to discover the evil hidden deep within her heart.

This is evil suppressed by love.
