Konoha's Mission Master

She wore armor made of pure gold, the surface of which shimmered with a gilded luster, making her look exceptionally noble. Her long, flowing golden hair reached her waist and looked very smooth.

The golden light armor fit her perfectly, outlining her curvaceous figure. Three pairs of pure white wings grew from her back, and she carried an extremely slender and long katana in her hand.

In particular, there is a sun-shaped mark on his forehead, as if he were the embodiment of the sun on earth, representing light.

She is the Angel King, an unparalleled queen who has held the title of strongest monster for over a decade. However, compared to the title of monster, many people prefer to call this incomparably holy Angel King, who dislikes killing, a god!

She is the embodiment of light, and always treats every human being with kindness.

Having obtained the answer she sought, she did not linger, but vanished in a flash of golden light, her breathtakingly beautiful face bearing only a gentle smile throughout.

That smile gives people a friendly feeling, but if you look closely, you will find that it looks fake, like a program that has been specially programmed.

An underground temporary base.

When Yakumo was at the manufacturing base, his chakra was already severely depleted.

After removing many of the fancy but impractical facilities, the wooden structure of this temporary base only had the function of producing oxygen, making Mori Masako and Yuuki Chiyuki feel suffocated.

In the darkness, Masako Mori placed Yakumo's head on her lap, while Chiyuki Yukotsu waved her weapon around in the shadows.

Over the years, Yakumo had experienced many battles, but he had always been able to quickly recover from his injuries and would never fall into a coma like today. Thinking of this, the girl's eyes were filled with worry.

After helping Yakumo put on his clothes, Masako Mori realized that there was very little she could do. She put the healing orb from her pocket into Yakumo's mouth and then activated it.

A deep blue light spread, and the life source energy rapidly healed and repaired the remaining damage within Yakumo's body.

Half an hour later, after the healing orbs on Mori Masako's body were exhausted, Yakumo's bald head grew back with smooth, black hair, and his empty eye sockets grew back with eyeballs. All the wounds on his body had healed.

But Yakumo's eyes remained closed and he did not wake up.

Masako Mori reached out and tucked her newly grown black hair behind her ears. She tore a piece of fabric from her clothes and began to gently wipe the bloodstains from Yakumo's face.

In fact, all this blood comes from Yakumo, since those strange people born from nature only have magma flowing in their bodies.

Yakumo froze time. The forty consecutive flashes put a tremendous strain on her body, especially her heart. Her capillaries ruptured and bleed, eventually leaving her skin covered in blood.

The temporary base was dark and the air didn't circulate much.

The only sound was the crisp sound of the blade slicing through the air at high speed; You Gu Qianxue's sword swings were very hurried... and there wasn't much of a pattern to them.

Clearly, his inner world was not as calm as it appeared.

Due to the miraculous nature of the Otsutsuki bloodline, Masako Mori's eyes underwent an unusual evolution. After acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan, she gained the ability to see in the dark.

Mori Masako looked down at the boy nestled in her arms. His skin was so pale that you could almost see the tiny blue veins beneath it, and his lips were completely bloodless, like a fragile porcelain doll.

Masako Mori realized that she must have gotten so used to looking up at his back that she had overlooked the fact that he was not just a child who was still underage.

Masako Mori noticed that the boy in her arms was breathing steadily, and a joyful smile appeared on her face. The danger period had finally passed.

While in a coma, Yakumo lost his sense of time, his sense of direction, and his awareness of his surroundings.

Everything around him was chaos, and his soul, due to its extreme weakness, was constantly emitting sharp pains and dizziness, as if the whole world was shaking.

At this moment, he is at his weakest, and anyone with the intention of killing him could easily kill him.

This is also one of the reasons why Yakumo did not bring Genos back with him.

The world has undergone significant changes, and he can no longer fully believe that the current Genos is still the same Genos from the original story.

Another reason is... he really lacks chakra.

On the first day, Yakumo spent the day in a coma. Because Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yukotsu were unable to open the storage scroll, the two had been hungry for a full twenty-four hours.

The next day, Yakumo was still asleep, but the color of his cheeks had become rosy and he was no different from a normal person.

On the third day, Yakumo was still asleep.

Although Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yukoto are very powerful, they can only go without food for about half a month at most.

Otherwise... they might starve to death.

The hunger they were experiencing was already affecting their fighting ability. After a brief discussion, the two decided that if Yakumo had not woken up in ten days, they would try to break through and return to the surface from the depths of the underground to find food.

To conserve her energy, Yougu Qianxue gave up practicing swordsmanship and spent her days sleeping to reduce energy consumption. Occasionally, she would chat idly to pass the time when she was extremely bored.

Ten days passed in this way.

If Yakumo's condition hadn't been improving, Masako Mori would have been genuinely worried that he would simply fall into a deep sleep and never wake up again.

Finally, on the eleventh day, Yakumo slowly opened his eyes. When he realized that the temporary base was very dark, he naturally clasped his hands together, and his life energy was mobilized and injected into the surrounding walls.

The temporary base was expanded several times over, with lantern grass growing on the roof to provide lighting, and the efficiency of oxygen production was enhanced, clearing away accumulated waste gas.

"You're finally awake!" Masako Mori exclaimed, her eyes filled with tears.

"How long have I slept?"

Yakumo looked at Mori Masako and slowly opened his mouth. Because he hadn't spoken for many days, his voice was very hoarse.

"Eleven days."

Masako Mori replied listlessly.

Although Yakumo's awakening brought her great joy, in reality... all she could think about right now was... eating meat!

"Cough cough."

Yakumo stared in astonishment at the two extremely weak people, then quickly realized that they must have been in this state because they hadn't eaten for more than ten days.

The storage scroll was activated by chakra, and Yakumo took out two pieces of Sea King meat and placed them on the wooden platform in front of him.

When Masako Mori saw the marbled, alternating layers of fat and lean sea monster meat, she couldn't help but drool.

"Chiyuki, let's just grill it a little," Yakumo said.

Before he could finish speaking, Yukotsu Chiyuki had already lit the stove. Clearly, he was also starving, and there was no need for Yakumo to give him any special instructions.

As the Nile's Sorrow was unsheathed, Yukotsuki suddenly swung her sword several times, dismembering the chunk of flesh in front of her into slices about half a centimeter thick, and laying them flat on a clean iron plate.

Meanwhile, take out the seasonings and start preparing the sauce.

Soy sauce, chili peppers, minced garlic, and mustard.

In less than a minute, the air was filled with aroma. The pale-faced Masako could no longer suppress her desire and picked up a slice of medium-rare beef with her chopsticks.

He then dipped it in the sauce and popped it into his mouth, chewing quickly.

With his right hand holding the chopsticks, he attacked the second slice of beef.

Masako Mori immediately began to wolf down her food.

Yukotsu Chiyuki, standing next to him, was much more refined. She first served Yakumo the prepared sauce before slowly savoring the grilled meat.

Two hours later, Masako Mori sipped her juice, patted her still flat stomach, and exclaimed with a touch of pride.

"Finally alive!!"

Immediately afterwards, she stood up, patted her bottom, and casually asked.

"Yakumo, your injury should be alright now, right?"

In her opinion, Yakumo's complexion was rosy and his mental state was excellent, suggesting that the injuries he suffered more than ten days ago had been healed.

"The energy hasn't fully recovered yet, but everything else is fine."

Yakumo answered somewhat casually that although his life energy and lightning energy were still in a state of depletion, they were recovering at a rapid pace and would probably reach their peak again in about three days.

His body has a recovery limit. If that limit is exceeded, his healing speed will decrease, and he can only make up for it over time so that his recovery ability returns to a normal level.

"That's good. You were badly injured this time... Take a few more days to rest."

Mori Masako lowered her head and thought for a moment, suddenly feeling a bit tired of those dangerous adventures. After she almost lost the most important person to her, she realized that the most beautiful sight at that time was beside him.

Ordinary and simple is fine.

"Then let's rest for a few more days."

At this moment, Yakumo had focused his attention on the game panel, and through the attributes displayed by the system, he could more intuitively understand his current state.

The player's status bar displays the words: "weakened" and "minor injury".

Intelligence: 88.7, down 1.2 points.

Furthermore, there's an extra parenthesis after the Intelligence attribute that says "minor injury".

Clearly, the foolish act more than ten days ago had caused problems with his soul, which directly led to his coma for more than ten days.

However, what really caught Yakumo's attention was the free attribute panel.

Currently, he has 22 points of free attribute.

On the surface, Yakumo feigned concern from Mori Masako, but secretly clicked the plus sign next to her Intelligence attribute.

Intelligence increased by one.

The expected warm energy did not appear; instead, a game system notification popped up in front of Yakumo's eyes.

[Prompt: Consume one free attribute point to restore the minor injury status of the Intelligence attribute?]

Note: Intelligence attribute points cannot be allocated while the user is slightly injured.

Yakumo hesitated, after all, a few free attribute points were very important.

After all, he only has a mere twenty-two points...

Yakumo glanced at his balance again, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips, as if he were a poor boy who had suddenly become a tycoon.

This time he just clicked...yes.

He's never had so many points in his entire life!

Yakumo closed his eyes and quietly felt the warm energy repairing his soul, as if he were in a warm spring. His whole soul felt light and blissful, and he gained indescribable joy.

After several adjustments, the Intelligence attribute returned to 89.9.

At the same time, his physical condition also reached its limit of 79.9.

A total of 2.8 free attribute points were consumed.

All four attributes have reached their limits.

Currently, the attribute point balance has reached 19.2.

When Yakumo opened his eyes again, he found that the temporary base had become somewhat quiet, and Masako Mori, who had been concerned about him, had stopped speaking at some point.

Suddenly, Yakumo sensed a murderous aura.
