Konoha's Mission Master

Masako Mori's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"Angry? How could I... I didn't sleep at home yesterday either."

Yakumo retorted without hesitation, then pushed off with his feet and disappeared from Mori Masako's sight, his back view showing a hint of exasperation.

Inside the cabin, Yakumo finished preparing breakfast for Mori Masako. Through the glass, he saw Mori Masako... continuing to practice Sage Mode, a cryptic smile appearing on her face.

Both Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yukotsu were under immense pressure. They feared becoming a burden to Yakumo and that the enemy would use them to devise a plan against Yakumo.

This led them to make the most of every second to cultivate.

Yakumo opened the game panel and found that his attributes and main skills had reached a point where they could not be improved, unless he saved up 20000 gold coins to continue to improve the Wood Release Manual.

In the afternoon, Yakumo went to the guard headquarters and presented Fugaku Uchiha with four healing orbs as a reward for the Uchiha clan's help to Sakumo Hatake.

Time... flies by.

During the following period, Yakumo worked hard to create healing orbs and gave four to his friends in case of emergency.

Before leaving, Yakumo went to Konoha Hospital. Last time, he completed thirty days' worth of tasks in one day. Today, he planned to complete sixty days' worth of tasks in one day.

By the way... say goodbye to Reiko Aoyama.

In the laboratory of Konoha Hospital.

Yakumo processed the life cells in front of him quickly, while dozens of shadow clones worked hard beside him, cultivating nearly a hundred life cells in almost five minutes.

This is... the benefit of increased aptitude; Yakumo has a deeper understanding of cell tissues, making culturing much easier.

"Sister Aoyama, I will be leaving Konoha for two years."

Without looking up, Yakumo began to speak as if chatting casually.

Reiko Aoyama did not react to this, and continued to work on the life cells with her head down.

A snap.

The petri dish shattered, scattering glass shards everywhere.

Yakumo's hands paused slightly, but quickly resumed processing the life cells in front of him.

The pause just now was because he felt a tangible sadness from Aoyama Reiko, not reluctance... but pure sorrow.

Nonou stepped forward to collect the broken petri dish, but Aoyama Reiko stood there, stunned, and did not continue culturing the cells.

After a long silence…

Reiko Aoyama spoke.

"I'll give you two a day off today, Shizune and Nonou."

Nono and Shizune immediately got up and left the lab, thoughtfully closing the lab door tightly behind them.

At this moment, only Yakumo and Reiko Aoyama remained in the laboratory, neither of them speaking, and the air was filled with a heavy sadness.

Yakumo continued processing the living cells.

Reiko Aoyama: "You're not coming back for at least two years?"

"That's highly likely."

Silence, and then a long silence.

“I’ve been working overtime a lot lately, so why don’t you… Yakumo, help my sister nourish and recuperate her body?” Aoyama Reiko suddenly said.

"no problem."

One of the shadow clones, after finishing its work, came to Aoyama Reiko's side... and placed its hands on her shoulders.

Azure energy mixed with golden arcs spread, freely traversing and wandering within Aoyama Reiko's body, repairing damaged tissues, enhancing cellular activity, and more golden arcs surged into her body for deeper strengthening.

Reiko Aoyama's body slowly grew stronger...

Half an hour later, the shadow clone disappeared.

Yakumo turned her head to look at Aoyama Reiko.

The black gas diffused and formed entirely new characters.

Name: Aoyama Reiko

Age: 36

Physical condition: 43-45; Intelligence: 43-44

Intimacy: 100 (maximum value)

Status: Unable to form a party

Yakumo once again saw the maximum intimacy level.

Reiko Aoyama: "Be careful, and come back alive."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive."

"That's fine, that's fine."

A few hours later, Yakumo told Aoyama Reiko that he was leaving, and left behind five healing orbs.

After he left, Aoyama Reiko covered her heart with her hand, clear tear tracks running down her beautiful face, and an intense sadness spread through her.

Yakumo sighed softly in the sunlight. His feelings for Aoyama Reiko had always been simple: respect for his master or sister.

But with Aoyama Reiko… the family bond gradually deteriorated.

Currently, many arrangements within Konoha have been completed, and the Healing Orbs, as life-saving trump cards, have been given away.

Yakumo quickly composed himself and gracefully flew to the tavern.

Jiraiya is drinking here, all alone.

After Nawaki's resurrection... he hadn't seen Tsunade for a long time, and even abstained from alcohol for Nawaki's sake, which was undoubtedly a difficult thing, but Tsunade did it anyway...

It must be said that love can create miracles.

Yakumo did not ask Jiraiya to help monitor Nawaki, but instead gave Jiraiya five healing orbs and sealed an even more powerful healing orb on him, hoping to save his life in a critical moment.

At the same time, Yakumo gave Jiraiya four additional healing orbs, hoping he could help pass them on to Tsunade.

The two had a brief conversation, with Jiraiya doing most of the talking and Yakumo listening patiently. As Jiraiya and Tsunade's relationship grew increasingly distant, he looked exactly like a defeated white-haired dog at this moment.

Before leaving… Yakumo thought for a moment and said to Jiraiya.

"Napaki is secretly practicing the secret techniques left behind by Orochimaru."

With that, the arrangements for Konoha are complete!

Chapter 316 Proof of Domination: The Giant Island

The next day, Yakumo sat up in bed, picked up a book from beside him and began to read. Half an hour later, he opened the game panel.

Congratulations, player, on completing the quest: The Reader.

Congratulations, player! You have won 3000 gold coins.

"call..."

Yakumo put down the book in his hand. Now, there would be no more obstacles to his plan to go to the world of One Piece.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Masako Mori had already prepared breakfast. She had been learning to cook from Yakumo's shadow clone recently.

"Good morning," Yakumo greeted.

When exactly are we leaving?

Masako Mori asked somewhat eagerly, her anticipation for the grand adventure growing even stronger after successfully mastering Sage Mode.

"I have already informed Qianxue that we will depart today."

Yakumo sat at the table, picked up a sandwich, and took a bite.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand!?

"I've prepared... everything I need to bring."

Masako Mori: "Shall we meet at the entrance of Konoha later?"

"Meet at home," Yakumo replied.

At the same time, he recalled the information he currently possessed, as well as the strategy and plan for going to the world of One Piece... to carry out the mission.

"I've also prepared some supplies during this period."

Masako Mori patted the storage scroll tied to her back.

"Don't worry, the supplies I've prepared are enough for three years."

Yakumo ate the sandwich and finished the hot milk next to her. She stood up, washed the bowls, chopsticks, and plates, and put the plates into the cupboard next to her.

Before long, the kitchen became clean and tidy, which made Yakumo feel somewhat happy. The fruits of labor are also a kind of achievement.

Yakumo began putting away other things to prevent the dust that had accumulated over the past two years from soiling the sheets.

Half an hour later, You Gu Qianxue arrived carrying a storage scroll.

"I'm sorry, Master, I'm late. I just went to the Hokage's office and asked the Hokage for a two-year leave. I won't be able to clean the Konoha Cemetery during my adventure."

Yakumo: "It's alright, I'm not late."

"Let's go, let's go, let's set off!"

Mori Masako spoke with some excitement, saying that after three years, she was finally going to leave Konoha and explore the ninja world.

Yakumo: "Give me your hand."

"Huh, are we going to Ryuchi Cave?" Masako Mori asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yakumo took out a silver key and infused it with chakra.

A dozen seconds later, the light and shadow flickered and the three people disappeared.

Masako Mori opened her eyes, somewhat surprised.
