Konoha's Mission Master

Ten moves, a hundred moves, a thousand moves clashing.

Kakashi gradually swayed, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Ultimately, no miracle occurred, and Kakashi lost. At the crucial moment, Yukotsu Chiyuki defeated Bendick, ending their battle.

"Do you want to live?" You Gu Qianxue asked coldly.

At that moment, Bendick realized that the pink-haired girl was actually a boy! Could there really be such a handsome man?!

But the next second, he finally heard what the man was saying.

Do you want to live?

Do you want to live?

"I don't want to live!"

Bendick didn't hesitate and almost roared out.

He swung his sword directly at Yougu Qianxue, seeking death, his face filled with a death wish.

With so many brothers already dead, how could he possibly survive alone?

Yougu Qianxue granted his request and killed him with a slash.

Behind him, Kakashi was panting heavily, his face showing a hint of existential doubt. His strength and physical abilities were far superior to his enemy's, but in terms of combat experience, there was a significant gap between them.

This is the difference between skill and combat instinct.

Yakumo walked to Kakashi's side, unsure how to comfort him.

If Obito were here, he would probably laugh at Kakashi, right?

If it were Nohara Rin, she would probably comfort him patiently, right?

Yakumo thought for a moment, then stood behind Kakashi and said softly.

"Accumulate experience, continuously grow stronger... your future is brighter than his!"

Chapter 429 Kakashi's Transformation

The group waited on the deck for a while.

Kakashi was still pondering why he had lost, why he had gradually been suppressed by the enemy from his advantage, and why he was unable to expand his advantage.

This was his first battle since coming to this world, and the result caused him to lose his composure slightly, after all, he was a Kage-level powerhouse in the ninja world!

“He is more than ten years older than you and has more combat experience. It’s okay if you lose. You will definitely reach a height that she can’t reach in the future.”

Yakumo could only continue to comfort him. He was also worried that this defeat would cause his desire to win to become unbalanced, and if his mentality collapsed, it would take a long time to rebuild his will.

"I know, don't worry, it's just a small setback."

Kakashi answered with his head down, saying that aside from physical strength, he realized his biggest problem was a lack of combat experience. His next goal was to hone his combat experience through fighting.

Having found his goal, Kakashi was no longer lost.

You Gu Qianxue rested his arm on the railing at the edge of the deck, gazing at the dark sea in the distance. He could sense Aokiji's presence approaching.

A dozen minutes later, the navy approached within a hundred meters, and a dark green warship appeared a few hundred meters away from the group. The warship was equipped with many cannons for naval warfare.

The warship was anchored a few hundred meters away. A tall figure leaped from the warship and then plunged into the sea, his cloak fluttering in the air as he waved his hands dramatically.

The temperature of the surrounding environment dropped rapidly, and the waves were frozen directly. A passage made of ice connected the two ships. The person landed lightly on the ice, and with the power of his legs, he jumped again. Each jump covered a distance of tens of meters, like a large bird flying at low altitude.

With a few leaps, he landed in front of Yakumo.

Navy personnel from distant warships jumped onto the ice, carrying leather ropes or sea stone handcuffs, and ran wildly toward the Dreyfus, their faces beaming with joy.

The first person to jump onto the deck was Aokiji.

"It's been a long time, Lord Yakumo."

After landing, Aokiji briefly glanced at the faces of the group before greeting Yakumo with a tone that was no longer lazy but full of energy.

"You are much happier than you were two years ago."

Yakumo noticed Aokiji's change.

Aokiji was originally an outlier within the Navy system. The coldest and hardest person had the softest sense of justice in his heart. Compared to the world where the Celestial Dragons once dominated everything, he preferred the current Free Federation.

"The changes in the past two years have been quite remarkable."

Aokiji nodded, his gaze sweeping across the deck. He didn't see any corpses, but there was still a very faint smell of blood in the air.

In the two years since the Free Federation was established, Yakumo has witnessed the changes that have taken place in the world. Although pirates and Celestial Dragons still cause destruction, the world as a whole is developing prosperously.

"The main combat personnel of the Red-Haired Pirates have all been wiped out, leaving only the logistics staff in the ship's cabin and a number of secondary combat personnel. It's up to you to decide what to do with them."

Yakumo briefly explained the current situation to Aokiji.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

In fact, after Yakumo left Mary Geoise, Dragon had already contacted Aokiji, telling him about Yakumo's handling of the Red-Haired Pirates' movements and issuing orders for full cooperation.

During the time it took for the two to speak, marines kept jumping onto the deck and began arresting people inside the cabin. In order to keep the logistics personnel quiet, Yakumo used his Devil Fruit ability to knock them all unconscious.

The stronger ones would be handcuffed with sea stone, while the rest would be bound with leather ropes soaked in oil.

The navy moved in an orderly fashion, constantly packing people up and carrying them to the warship. With Yakumo's soul power, they were enough to make them unconscious for several hours. The navy's movements were light and even quiet.

These people who could follow Aokiji were naturally the elite of the Navy. Most of them had seen Yakumo before and knew about his incredibly terrifying combat record. You could feel a heavy fear emanating from them.

Yakumo felt slightly bored; after all, he didn't eat people.

Is it that scary?

"Do you know where the Straw Hat Pirates are?" Yakumo asked.

"I don't know that. He appeared in the East Blue two months ago. Luffy seems to be planning to retire. He is not the target of the intelligence department's investigation."

Aokiji answered immediately, but he was lying.

"Okay, I'll head out then."

"Over the next few days, I will be cracking down on the great pirates of the New World. Since they are unwilling to disband their pirate crews, then let them perish at sea."

Yakumo said very casually.

When the Free Federation was first established, it was ordered that any pirate crew that was willing to disband would have their past sins pardoned.

Unfortunately... very few pirates in the New World choose to disband their crews. In fact, most of them no longer have the desire to obtain the One Piece; they are unwilling to disband their pirate crews simply because they are used to this kind of life.

After all, they could quickly accumulate wealth through plunder, and they didn't know how to do anything else besides fighting.

Furthermore... they have no respect for the Free Federation. The original World Government also said it would crack down on pirates, but hundreds of years have passed and pirates still roam the seas.

Now that they've switched to the Free Federation, they see no difference. After all, the ocean is vast, and the chances of encountering a naval fleet are low. Even if they do encounter one, as long as it's not led by an admiral, they have nothing to fear from the rest of the navy.

Yakumo clasped his hands together and used his wind manipulation power to make the dark green flying boat appear in the air, signaling the group to board and leave.

With a powerful push from their legs, Aoyama Reiko manipulated the airflow to propel them lightly onto the deck of the dark green flying boat, quickly passing through the wooden door into the core cabin.

Yakumo's shadow clone quietly took its place.

A few seconds later, the dark green flying boat took off.

Yakumo's departure relieved the Navy, and their movements became much faster as they began to bind and escort him.

Even though Yakumo didn't show any pressure, just by standing there, they would inevitably feel fear.

It is said that... the Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor is capricious and has an extreme fondness for beheadings.

A gentle breeze brushed against Aokiji's slightly ashen face. If Yakumo pressed him for more information, he was genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to keep the truth hidden, since he wasn't good at lying.

He does indeed know the Straw Hat Pirates' movements. They appeared in the New World a few days ago and are most likely still docked on some island in the New World.

Six months ago, Ryu explained the truth about Garp's death to Aokiji.

He also understood that his teacher's death was his own choice, and his hatred for Yakumo disappeared; he even felt a faint sense of admiration for him.

Few people are willing to stand against the world just to seek a glimmer of hope for the underprivileged.

What's more, he and Long actually succeeded.

"I hope Luffy and his crew don't run into Yakumo..."

Aokiji felt he was in a very difficult situation. Although he didn't know why Yakumo was asking about Luffy's whereabouts, he knew that if Luffy knew that Shanks had died at Yakumo's hands, Luffy would definitely take action against Yakumo.

If that time really comes... then there will be no new Pirate King.

Suddenly, Aokiji abruptly unbuttoned his coat and pulled out a drowsy Den Den Mushi. He had to tell Ryu about this immediately, because if handled poorly, it could cause the Free Federation to suffer a severe blow.

On the other hand, Yakumo flew at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. Every time he sensed a pirate ship, he would lower the altitude of the Dark Green Flying Boat so that Kakashi and Yukotsu Chiyuki could deal with it.

After the Free Federation was established, pirates were defined as illegal organizations, and powerful individuals were dispatched to crack down on them with overwhelming force. Unfortunately, most of the Navy's powerful members were tied down by the Red-Haired Pirates, which resulted in poor results.

Furthermore... Luffy became the Pirate King, and although he didn't take the One Piece from the final island, his words proved its existence, and more people across the seas set sail for this goal.

Dragon is quite troubled by this matter. If Luffy weren't his son, the Straw Hat Pirates would be the ones being chased by the Navy right now.

Since he is his own child, the crown prince of the revolutionary army.

What can we do? Spoil them.

Yakumo ordered Yukotsu Chiyuki to kill all the strong members of any pirate crews they encountered in the New World, rescue the coerced and pitiful people, and take away all the treasures the pirate crews had obtained.

He had observed with his own eyes that all the pirate crew members he encountered were red-named players, with only a few white-named players occasionally... but that was just bad luck for him, since he had boarded the pirate ship.

Although the people on the dark green flying boat had blood on their hands, their sin values ​​were all negative, in other words... they were all good people.

Occasionally, Masako Mori would get itchy and volunteer to go down below to fight.

The dark green airships flew extremely fast, crossing the entire New World section of the Grand Line in almost seven hours, and they didn't need to rest.

In fifteen days, Yakumo and his crew traveled through the New World three times, destroying nearly a hundred pirate crews, the strongest of whom were close to the Admiral level.

Unfortunately, for Yukotsu Chiyuki and Mori Masako, the level of general was nothing, but Kakashi gained extremely valuable experience in the past ten days. Every life-or-death battle was a transformation for him.

After each battle, Kakashi would spend a long time reflecting on his mistakes, absorbing the characteristics of his opponent's fighting style, incorporating the essence of their techniques into the Hatake Secret Manual, and readjusting himself accordingly.

To be honest, Kakashi's physical talent is not as good as Yukotsu Chiyuki's. After all, he does not have the bloodline of the Senju, nor does he have that massive amount of pure chakra, nor does he have a vigorous and strong physique.
