Konoha's Mission Master

This is true restraint and mastery of energy.

Although such a knife looks ordinary, it is extremely deadly.

"Mastery of muscle strength, mastery of energy."

This is what Yakumo needs to learn, but the mysterious person before him will not reveal his own path of life like the Void Tree. Yakumo needs to study even more diligently.

Suddenly, the Demon-Subduing Sword appeared in Yakumo's hand. He began to imitate the mysterious man's movements and kept swinging the sword. With his intelligence, he was able to perfectly learn all the movements.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

Over the years, Yakumo imitated countless others, but the results were disappointing. He made no progress whatsoever and remained stagnant for a full ten years.

This made him doubt his own talent. Was he really a hopeless mediocre talent?

On this day, Yakumo made a decision.

He plans to travel to this planet and temporarily give up practicing swordsmanship.

Over the next few days, Yakumo's spirit traveled all over Chuxiao City and found that there was no one else there except for the mysterious man. Strangely, he saw a ninja tool shop in the city.

Not only that, there's also a ninja academy...

Many buildings outside this area were shrouded in mist, hindering Yakumo's exploration, yet he felt as if this were a Konoha Village many times larger.

Not long after, he left Chuxiao City. Outside those forests, he saw the ice plains, felt the temperature of the volcano, experienced the desolation of the death zone, and felt the wind blowing against his soul.

By mixing and compressing various energies, space can be cleaved.

This is the principle that Yakumo understands. He now controls five types of energy: wind, fire, lightning, life, and chakra. The next step is to fuse, compress, and enhance their energy levels.

This is a path full of thorns and hardships. He must carefully control the many energies within his body, the sharp gales, the raging thunder, the high-temperature flames, and the life-giving energy.

It's difficult, but you have to try.

After wandering for half a year, Yakumo returned to Chuxiao City. His eyes were no longer filled with hesitation and confusion, as if he had found a way to improve himself.

This time, he no longer confined himself to imitation, but began to learn, began to wield the knife at will, felt the collision of various energies, and experienced the inspiration that constantly flowed through his heart.

The way that mysterious man wielded his sword was not suitable for Yakumo; it should be said that the energy systems within their bodies were vastly different.

Yakumo needs to find his own way.

Guide the energy, merge the energy, arms vibrate... swing the sword!

Keep trying, keep getting closer to your ideal of perfection.

Although mistakes could cause terrifying explosions and even result in energy backlash, they did not stop Yakumo's exploration.

Time passed, and a century gradually went by.

A clash of energies, an explosion of energy.

Lightning and wind merge, fire and chakra merge.

Using life source energy as a medium, the five energies are attempting a completely new way of fusion, and the proportion of energy output also requires meticulous control.

The difficult process is being overcome.

Like climbers constantly moving upwards, taking another step closer to the summit.

However, Yakumo soon discovered that his mastery of wind and fire was insufficient. It was precisely because his understanding of the two energies was too superficial that it affected the final fusion of the five energies.

This space is an excellent practice ground.

From then on, Yakumo began to practice mastering the energy of wind and fire, making the Azure Dragon Fruit a completely personal ability. He wanted more than just mastery; he wanted to hone the two energies into instinct.

In the blink of an eye, another century has passed.

Having fully mastered the two energies, Yakumo began the process of fusing the five energies again, and he no longer paid attention to the mysterious figure's sword-wielding posture.

At the same time, a realization dawned on him.

He can stay in this space for another 180 years.

Because he was a soul, Yakumo didn't feel tired, bored, or lonely. He was like a cold, emotionless learning machine. If he could have entered this state in his previous life... he could have chosen any university he wanted.

Of course, he had reason to suspect that some of his human emotions were suppressed by the game system, which was why he was able to endure hundreds of years of loneliness to practice the ethereal swordsmanship.

Otherwise... he might go insane.

Now, only five years remain.

Yakumo was unable to master the five-element fusion slash, so he could only exclude fire and master the four-element fusion slash.

Of course, Yakumo has already mastered the fusion of the two attributes.

For example... wind and thunder, fire and wind.

For the remaining five years, Yakumo simply practiced the slash born from the fusion of four energies.

Years later, he felt a pulling force, which meant the time for his return had come. His soul left that... giant green planet and began its return to the pirate world.

Although Yakumo hasn't mastered the five-energy fusion slash, the slashes using four different energy types are enough to serve as a trump card in battle...

In the void, on Yakumo's way back.

He saw that the cosmic super overlord, Qi, was still fighting against the enormous alien beast.

What Yakumo found most unforgettable about that beast was its millions of blue arms, the longest of which were larger than the diameter of a planet, and the arms were covered with dense patterns.

"Could this be the devil behind the scenes of the Brilliant Blank?"

Amidst the clash between countless crimson vines and cyan arms, Yakumo swiftly broke free. However, a few guesses suddenly arose in his mind regarding the identity of the beast with the cyan arms.

Could it be... that Qi fought that devil for my sake?

Yakumo suddenly thought of something, but soon this idea began to waver. It didn't make sense, after all, he had only met that overlord once.

At that time, what I saw was only a clone.

A few seconds later, Yakumo returned to his original form.

Numerous memories churned in my mind, many of which were extremely blurry, as if shielded by some kind of energy. However, the memories concerning energy fusion and slashing became increasingly clear, eventually merging entirely with my brain.

These memories were enormous, and even after taking only the most essential parts, it took Yakumo ten minutes to digest them.

Furthermore, it consumes a great deal of energy.

Hatake Secret Code, Daohua level, one style, 50% "Breakthrough"

In that space, after five hundred years of cultivation, only fifty percent was completed, and the calculation of the Dao Transformation level of swordsmanship differed from the level plan of the Dao Transformation level of wood escape.

Yakumo tapped his finger and found that the conditions for the breakthrough had not changed; it was still the consumption of 20,000 gold coins and a Dao Transformation Scroll.

Currently, he has no shortage of Taoist scrolls, only 9000 gold coins.

Of course, another gain was that the manipulation of fire and wind energies had reached an extremely high level, and the swordsmanship had reached the Dao level... The space they went to was more like a world with accelerated time.

He can choose to cultivate swordsmanship or other abilities, but the maximum time a space can exist at a time is five hundred years.

It is estimated that... the space will only change once the progress of the first method reaches 100%.

Yakumo was now completely exhausted and had no interest in trying out the new skills she had acquired, so she simply decided to go to sleep.

"No, you need to practice the dragon technique before bed."

Chapter 393 North Sea, the Last Ten Percent

New World Revolutionary Army Headquarters

Thick stacks of documents piled up like mountains. Dragon would occasionally look up at the Den Den Mushi not far away before looking down again to work on the documents.

He was prepared to fight to the death, but he still hoped that Yakumo could return on time. After all, he really wanted to witness a world where everyone was equal.

It was getting closer to midnight.

Under the warm orange light, Long was still processing documents. Since the Navy officially went to war with the Revolutionary Army, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several months.

The Den Den Mushi he had been waiting for never rang.

He needs to set off for the North Sea tomorrow. Before that, Dragon needs to devise many strategies, the most important of which is... the preparations Sabo needs to make after his death is confirmed.

Long rubbed his wrist with his left hand and continued to plan future actions, especially whether the Judgment and Butterfly Organizations would continue to obey orders after his death.

The two organizations now wield influence in the shadows that rivals that of the Revolutionary Army, and they are now willing to obey orders because the leader of the Revolutionary Army is Monkey D. Dragon.

Furthermore, both organizations operate in the shadows, and even after numerous searches by the Navy, their headquarters remain undiscovered.

Reed is the strongest of the judges, and Tiger is in charge of the butterfly transformation.

Logically speaking, the two organizations shouldn't have any problems, but Long also understands that the demise of this world's great organizations often stems from within.

While the separation of duties and powers enhanced secrecy, it also weakened the authority held by the revolutionary army leaders.

Dragon couldn't come up with the perfect solution; he couldn't predict the world's trajectory, nor could he control people's hearts.

"Pop, pop, pop..."

The Den Den Mushi, which had been sleeping, suddenly became listless, its face showing an expression as if it hadn't woken up yet.

Dragon's face suddenly lit up with surprise, and his body abruptly transformed into a wisp of breeze as he connected to the Den Den Mushi.

"Good brother?" he asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's me."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Yakumo straightened his back.

Judging from your tone, you're not doing well?

"It's a bit troublesome, but since you're back, it's not a big problem."

After hearing Yakumo's words, Ryu's tone became relaxed. Those problems might be a dead end for him, but for the strength of Yakumo and the others... they were just minor issues.

"I'll find out where the problem lies and fix it tomorrow."

Yakumo has just mastered several new abilities, which he can use to test them on powerful naval officers.

"North Sea, Elton Kingdom and Mojito Kingdom."

Ryu immediately replied. Having dealt with Yakumo several times, he had gradually gotten used to Yakumo's straightforward speaking style.
