Konoha's Mission Master

Successful reforms all involve uniting the majority to overthrow the minority, but Sakumo Hatake's idea was... to fight alone.

After talking for a while, Yakumo and Hatake Sakumo left the Hokage's office on their own initiative, their steps becoming less hurried and even somewhat heavy.

It was Yakumo who, together with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Uchiha clan, pushed Sakumo Hatake to the position of Hokage, originally intending him only as a stepping stone for Minato Namikaze to become Hokage.

Unexpectedly, Sakumo Hatake had such an ideal.

Such a great yet dangerous ideal.

In Sakumo Hatake's eyes, there was unwavering perseverance and a determination to give his life for his ambitions, but no fear whatsoever.

Sakumo Hatake plans to open up the Hatake Secret Manual, establish a swordsmanship class, lower the exchange requirements for advanced ninjutsu, and create a genius training program.

This would make them enemies of all ninja clans, all for the sake of their ideals... or to warn the world.

This is a big deal.

Those who intend to accomplish great things will inevitably have martyrs.

Sakumo Hatake was fully prepared to sacrifice himself at any time.

Yakumo also confessed that he would be leaving Konoha for a long time in the future, and without his suppression, all sorts of monsters and demons would emerge.

This is the real test for Sakumo Hatake.

In fact, Yakumo knew that if he were willing to join, the resistance that Hatake Sakumo encountered would no longer be a problem, but he also knew that this was a huge vortex of trouble.

Yakumo dislikes trouble.

Sakumo Hatake hoped that Yakumo would keep Kakashi by his side, so that he could dedicate himself to his ideals, but he did not want to implicate Kakashi.

Yakumo agreed to Sakumo Hatake's request, but he didn't want to bring Kakashi into the world of One Piece through deception.

Sakumo Hatake planned to embark on an extremely difficult path alone. Although Yakumo expressed his support, he did not offer any real help.

"Fairness? There is no true fairness in this world."

Yakumo sighed softly, "Before him was Yahiko, and after him was Sakumo. They both wanted to create fairness for the disadvantaged, even at the cost of their lives."

A silver key appeared at his fingertips, and his body was teleported to Ryuchi Cave.

Yakumo's shadow clone went to the Uchiha clan's territory to find a protective talisman for Hatake Sakumo, so that Uchiha Fugaku could protect Hatake Sakumo's life at a crucial moment.

If we also include Uchiha Tsuru, that's enough to guarantee safety.

Longdi Cave.

Yuuki Chiyuki and Mori Masako are still practicing Sage Mode.

Kakashi, meanwhile, was practicing his swordsmanship not far away.

This morning, Yakumo's shadow clone delivered the key to Ryuchi Cave to him. Judging from the way he kept stealing glances at Yukotsu Chiyuki, he probably wanted to take on the challenge.

Not long after, You Gu Qianxue stood up, the immortal mark on her forehead resembling flowing black flames, adding a touch of mystery.

"Come on, let's have a match."

"it is good."

Kakashi immediately closed in and attacked, his White Fang slicing through the air like a roaring silver dragon. He had indeed become much stronger in the six months since I last saw him.

The two clashed in the square. When the scattered blade energy fell to the ground, it only left a few insignificant scratches, which were automatically repaired in an instant.

Not long after, Kakashi was defeated.

This was to be expected. After experiencing the upgrades from the two-player dungeon and the amplification from the Sage Mode, You Gu Qianxue possessed overwhelming combat power, only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Super Kage.

Even Yougu Qianxue didn't use the Death Qi.

Yakumo looked at Kakashi, who seemed somewhat unwilling, and then thought of Sakumo Hatake's instructions to him. What should he do?

If Kakashi were told about this, he would definitely choose to return to Konoha and face it with his father, which would... violate Sakumo Hatake's instructions.

But... if Kakashi isn't told, and Sakumo Hatake really does have an accident during this time, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"It's so annoying."

Yakumo's dilemma lies in being caught between the two; if she makes a decision, she will inevitably break a promise.

If you are unsure about something, you can ask Masako Mori.

After lunch, Yakumo mysteriously pulled Mori Masako aside and began to recount the events of the day and the judgments he had to make.

Why are you worried about something like this?

Masako Mori asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yakumo asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

“You have the power to change the rules. If you think Uncle Hatake is right, you can let him implement the plan in your name. No ninja clan would risk being wiped out to harm Uncle Hatake.”

"I actually think what you said makes a lot of sense."

Yakumo nodded and said that he had thought of this method as well, but in a sense he did not want to get involved in such a troublesome event.

But I feel...

His instinct was to refuse and stay away from trouble...

After all, Sakumo Hatake can bear the consequences of his choices, and I'm not his bodyguard, so I can just show my appreciation when the time comes.

Masako Kamori's words are also very meaningful; he can change the rules.

Suddenly, the game's notification sound rang out.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the player for triggering the quest 'Innovator'."

"Mission time limit."

"Mission objective: To assist Sakumo Hatake in implementing the plan."

"Task reward: Dao Transformation Scroll, six free attribute points."

"Extra rewards: extra privileges for drawing dungeons."

The game system suddenly triggered a mission, and Yakumo no longer had any reason to stay out of it, or rather, the game system seemed to enjoy getting him involved in all sorts of trouble.

"I know what to do."

Yakumo immediately changed his mind and created a shadow clone to return to Konoha and tell Hatake Sakumo his decision.

He will officially join this change.

Of course, the mission was only part of the reason; more importantly, it was Mori Masako's words that moved him.

Yakumo will not be swayed by the prevailing trend; he is the prevailing trend!

Masako Mori chuckled and said, "Your change of heart is quite rapid."

"It's mainly because it gives too much," Yakumo thought to himself.

Those are six free attribute points, which will directly help raise your agility attribute to over sixty-eight.

Dao-level swordsmanship is right before my eyes!

"I plan to tell Kakashi about Uncle Hatake's plans and let him make his own choice. I also suggest that Uncle Hatake's plans be postponed until after our adventure."

After thinking for a moment, Yakumo told Mori Masako about his new plan.

"It's up to you to decide."

"I will unconditionally support any decision you make."

Masako Mori replied with a smile.

Chapter 313 Wood Release Enhancement, Overlord Clash

The two returned to the platform...

Masako Mori started practicing Sage Mode.

She had a feeling that today would be the day she mastered Sage Mode, and she believed that this intuition was not wrong.

By dinner time, Masako Mori had failed fifteen times.

After the meal, she began her cultivation practice with renewed confidence.

That night, Masako Mori experienced dozens more failures; that inexplicable feeling ultimately failed to create a miracle.

Within Mori Masako's body, natural energy and chakra blended perfectly, as if the true balance had been found, and success seemed to be just around the corner.

But the next second, the perfectly fused energy dissipated from the center.

The forces of nature escaped from Masako Mori's body.

failure.

Another failure.

"Okay, that's enough for today. I'll definitely be able to do it tomorrow."

Yakumo patted Mori Masako on the shoulder and comforted her.

“Um…you said the same thing yesterday.”

"But you have indeed taken a step closer, and you will definitely be able to tomorrow."

"Okay." Masako Mori stood up and stretched her slightly sore shoulders. Of course, the most serious problem was the mental exhaustion.

"Come on, go home."

Suddenly, Yakumo paused slightly as a flood of memories surged through his mind. The Uchiha clan had promised to join Sakumo Hatake's side in a critical moment and guarantee his safety.

On the other hand, Hatake Sakumo promised to launch the plan in two years. During these two years, he would only recruit five disciples to pass on Hatake swordsmanship and prepare for the formal establishment of the swordsmanship class.

This perfectly aligns with Yakumo's plan. Although the task of obtaining the Proof of the Overlord is difficult, he is confident that he can complete it within two years.

Yakumo found Kakashi practicing his sword and explained Hatake Sakumo's plans and the options he could make in as few words as possible.

"If you return to Konoha and fight alongside Uncle Hatake, then you will have to miss... that grand adventure, and your growth rate may fall far behind Yukotsu Chiyuki."

Yakumo explained the pros and cons clearly and awaited Kakashi's reply.
