Konoha's Mission Master

"Mori Masako, big sister!"

Yakumo decided to continue changing the subject and, incidentally, ignite Masako's anger, making her overlook the fact that she had given away the Devil Fruit ahead of time.

"Good night!!!"

"Good."

Masako Mori stormed off, and Yakumo watched her retreating figure with a silent smile. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day.

Yakumo casually drew his Kusanagi sword and rushed towards Shyvana in the courtyard, trying to help her regain her former combat acumen.

"Ding."

The two weapons clashed, sparks illuminating the night.

Yakumo's attack angle was quite tricky, targeting the weak point where her moves connected. Shyvana felt a surge of immense force descend upon her, almost causing her weapon to slip from her grasp.

"I've been seriously lax lately."

Yakumo stopped suppressing her and instead sheathed her sword to comment. The reason he didn't use the Demon Subduing Sword was simple: he was afraid of accidentally breaking Shyvana's weapon.

After all, he couldn't suppress the sharpness of the Demon Subduing Technique, which was a divine weapon that could even cut through the Seeking Truth Jade.

"Salted fish makes people regress."

Hearing Yakumo's slightly critical words, Shyvana suddenly gripped her weapon tightly again and launched an attack.

Her moves combine the sweeping, powerful swordplay of the One Piece world with the agility and speed of the Hatake Mystic Code.

The fusion of the two did make some moves stronger, but it also made several moves awkward and incongruous, with very obvious weaknesses.

"A technique may not be strong, but it cannot have such a clear weakness."

"Because of weaknesses, one could lose their life."

Yakumo once again pointed the tip of his blade at the flaw in Shyvana's technique, while calmly reminding her that this kind of swordsmanship might be good for fooling laymen, but if she were to compete with a master swordsman, she would surely be defeated very quickly.

They will be crushed badly.

The two sparred for about half an hour before sheathing their swords.

Yakumo's expression remained unchanged, but Shyvana was drenched in sweat and nearly exhausted. In the past half hour, she had launched countless attacks, but had not been able to budge Yakumo at all.

An absolute crushing victory from beginning to end.

"Master, what's the main problem with my moves?"

"There are many..."

Shyvana's blade was imbued with a deep-seated hatred, an extremely powerful force of will, a determination to die rather than surrender.

This made her sword swings even more resolute, and some of her moves were even traded for injuries. With her powerful physique, she could make her enemies fall first, and the ultimate goal of her swordsmanship was pure slaughter.

However, as she successfully avenged herself, the hatred in her blade dissipated, and her mindset became unworthy of the killing blade, Sin's Cry. She lost some of her sharp and determined spirit and gained more negative laziness and hesitation.

This is the real reason why her strength has declined so much. In fact, after reaching the level of a sword master, it is no longer a simple move, but requires the user's will to be contained.

Yakumo started by discussing the connection between moves, then veered off-topic to the will and mindset required to swing the sword, ultimately combining this with the changes in Shyvana's mindset over this period, and deeming Shyvana utterly worthless.

After heartbreak and rebuilding, Shyvana once again yearns to become stronger.

Her goal this time was to win Yakumo's praise.

The following day, Reiko Aoyama asked Yakumo about the Devil Fruit.

By this time, she had already eaten the Devil Fruit and felt its unique power. Since she was already quite strong, she was able to create an absolute vacuum with a radius of about thirty meters.

Of course, as time goes by, her strength will increase significantly, since the potential of the Ki-Ki Fruit is inherently quite high.

If the density of the gas were increased by 100,000 times, it would be enough to crush human bones into powder, instantly killing the enemy, or... to use air convection to form an air cannon similar to the Day Tiger to strike the enemy.

A few days later, Masako Mori's parents returned to Konoha and offered their sincere blessings and approval for the couple's wedding.

The group then began to decide on the details of the wedding, and finally decided to hold the wedding at the training ground near their home. As for the guests to attend the wedding, Yakumo would decide, but Masako Mori's side did not have any guests to invite.

A dozen days later, when Yakumo announced his marriage, almost the entire Hidden Leaf Village was in an uproar. Yakumo made it clear that he did not want his wedding to become a party with ulterior motives.

Many friends were naturally invited, as were the Uchiha and Senju clans. The Ino-Shika-Cho clan also indicated that they would be there on time. Not long after, the Hyuga clan also sent out an invitation, hoping to attend Yakumo's wedding.

Yakumo and Mori Masako thought about it and agreed, but stipulated that the Hyuga clan could only send a maximum of three people to participate, and other ninja clans also needed to control the number of people, since the wedding venue was not very large.

Unfortunately... Yakumo's plans couldn't keep up with the rapid changes.

Although his initial goal was to hold a low-key wedding, Yakumo's influence was so great that even several other ninja villages expressed their intention to send people to the wedding to offer their blessings. After more than ten days of this, the wedding became a hot topic.

Yakumo's wedding became a grand event for the entire ninja world.

Ultimately, the venue originally planned for the wedding had to be reselected. With Tsunade's support, it was finally decided to hold the wedding in the square in front of the Hokage Building, with the Anbu and the Guard Department responsible for maintaining order on the day.

Masako Mori chose a pure white wedding dress with five layers: an inner lining, an outer lining, a skirt, an outer veil, and a headdress. The skirt was quite exaggerated, covering an area of ​​nearly three meters, and looked very voluminous.

Wearing this, she looked like a fairy descending to earth from a celestial bridge, her skin as white as snow, her figure tall and slender, ethereal and otherworldly.

All the wedding preparations were complete, but Yakumo kept the pair of rings, the symbol of their vow of love, a secret. He planned to spend another 40,000 gold coins to enhance them before the wedding, making them even more prestigious.

Although this would disrupt his plans, Yakumo had no regrets.

After all... getting married is something that only happens once in a lifetime.

Since you've fallen in love, then love for a lifetime.

Chapter 417 Wedding

Because of Mori Masako's parents returning home, Shyvana moved out of Mori Masako's house and built a wooden house near the Konoha Cemetery to keep Yukotsu Chiyuki company. She and Yukotsu Chiyuki have been sparring in swordsmanship on weekdays.

In early June, Yakumo took Yukotsu Chiyuki to pay respects to his parents and told them about his marriage to Mori Masako. June was a very special month for Yakumo.

His parents were buried in June, and he also arrived in this world in June. In June, the game system's anniversary event was held, which gave him some very useful exclusive items, and the prices were very affordable.

Today, the anniversary shop opened again. Yakumo ignored the other regular items that he didn't plan to buy and directly scrolled down the menu to find the exclusive items for this anniversary shop.

The Key to Hell and Death

Item Description: This is a key that can unlock a world that is invaded by hell, filled with endless skeletons and monsters formed by death energy. However... life is born from pure death, and deep within this world exists a crystal that is the origin of life.

Item description: The gate can be opened by spending 5,000 gold coins.

Dao Youju's Note: Life and death are an eternal melody, an endless cycle.

Item Price: 1000 Gold Coins (Player Exclusive)

After thinking it over, Yakumo finally decided to buy it. The world behind the key is a world that can be explored freely. Although it is very dangerous, it can yield life essence crystals. Named after the essence, it should be a relatively important item.

Two days before the wedding, Yakumo gathered 40,000 gold coins and enhanced the Beloved Promise. After the upgrade, its theme remained black, but the engraved texture became more three-dimensional and complex, forming a dragon pattern.

In addition... the smaller ring is engraved with a phoenix pattern.

The original attribute of +2 to charm has disappeared, replaced by indestructibility and invulnerability, symbolizing the eternity of love.

In addition, it adds two points to the wearer's strength attribute.

Destruction Condition: When both wearers dissolve their romantic relationship, the Pact of Love will be automatically destroyed. This process cannot be stopped or repaired.

This aligns with the game's setting, but Yakumo remembers that every year on May 520th, the game would give away a new "Beloved Promise".

If two people have held a Pact of Love for more than a year, they will not receive a new Pact of Love, but their existing attribute bonuses will be enhanced.

Yakumo held the enhanced ring in his hand. Although it was still a low-key and restrained black, its undeniable nobility had become even stronger.

After admiring it for a few minutes, Yakumo put it into a wooden box.

The bottom of the box was wrapped in a soft yellow cloth, originally intended to prevent damage from impacts, but now that it has an indestructible property, he no longer needs to worry about the ring being damaged.

Yakumo's wedding dress was hanging on the handle of the wooden wardrobe.

The entire outfit is black, with gold thread hand-embroidered patterns on the hem, cuffs, and trouser legs.

It was a pattern of auspicious clouds resembling flames, with the densest gold thread at the neckline. The golden pattern extended towards the shoulders, like a raging fire or the setting sun on the horizon.

Yakumo originally planned to keep a low profile and wear only a simple black suit, but Tsunade said that this wedding had become the focus of the entire ninja world, and as the male protagonist, his attire could not be careless in the slightest.

He represents the face of Konohagakure.

Obito Uchiha was lucky, because since they were preparing for the wedding together, even his suit received an upgrade, with the gold thread pattern representing the flames of the Uchiha clan.

At the same time, the Uchiha clan also prepared a haori for him, with a gold lining that resembled a flame pattern from a ukiyo-e print, making it look quite noble.

This was an honor that was originally reserved for the head of the Uchiha clan.

The day finally arrived at June 20th.

In the past few days, delegations from other ninja villages had already arrived in Konoha.

The village of Tsuchigakure sent Tsuchi, while the village of Kumogakure sent Tsuchida, the person most trusted by the Third Raikage, who had previously served as an envoy to Konoha.

The Hidden Mist Village sent Mei Terumi, while the Hidden Sand Village sent a Jonin whose name Yakumo couldn't recall, only knowing that he died in the Konoha Crush in the original story.

Early in the morning... Yakumo and Mori Masako went to the wedding venue in front of the Hokage Building. The Security Department and Anbu were already on duty outside to maintain order. Surprisingly, the rest of the people arrived even earlier than Yakumo, the groom.

Sakumo Hatake, dressed casually, sat in the front row of the wedding venue, flanked by Jiraiya and Tsunade. The former Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was absent from the wedding.

Several years ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already completely retired from public life.

The representative of the Sarutobi clan is Yakumo's classmate. Sarutobi Asuma is accompanied by Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi, as well as Yakumo's other classmates.

The representatives of the Hyuga clan are Hyuga Hiashi and his wife. Seeing her is like seeing a fully ripe Hinata, charming yet gentle.

The Uchiha clan is represented by the Fugaku family, excluding Sasuke Uchiha, who was not yet three years old.

As time went on, guests arrived one after another.

The wedding officially began at around nine o'clock in the morning.

Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Uncle Mori, and Reiko Aoyama entered first as witnesses. Kakashi, the host in the center of the stage, had a sharp gaze as if he was about to slash someone at any moment. He was a rather special host.

The audience was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Once the officiant is seated, the bride begins her entrance.

Yakumo looked at Masako Mori in the center of the stage. Her expression was filled with joy. Her already stunning appearance was made even more ethereal by the wedding dress. The sunlight fell on her flawless skin as if it were coated with a layer of golden glow.

As she stood on the stage, receiving the gazes of everyone around her, Yakumo suddenly felt as if Masako Mori was surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars; she was the meaning of the world turned upside down.
