Konoha's Mission Master

When he died in the Rhine explosion without contributing anything to the final battle, a special feeling filled his heart. He suddenly understood what guilt and regret were.

In that instant, his monotonous emotions became rich.

Even regret...

He regretted making that wrong choice, which led to his premature withdrawal from the final battle, leaving his master to face the enemy alone.

"I'm sorry, Master. I made the wrong judgment and was unable to help you in the final battle."

You Gu Qianxue stood up and bowed at almost a 90-degree angle.

"It's nothing, get up quickly."

Yakumo quickly stood up and helped Yukotsu Chiyuki straighten up, then reached out and patted his shoulder.

"What's the big deal...we weren't able to help at all."

Masako Mori smiled and spoke to Chiyuki Yukotsu, trying to ease the pressure that was building up in his heart.

"Indeed... I couldn't be of any help either."

Reiko Aoyama nodded in deep agreement. She was the first one to be blown to bits, and basically missed the final battle. Even now, she doesn't know how Yakumo ultimately won.

"no the same..."

"This is different."

You Gu Qianxue shook her head.

He is different from Masako Mori and Reiko Aoyama...!

He saw himself as his master's weapon, a shield erected in front of him, the sharpest weapon...

We cannot retreat, hesitate, or make mistakes.

"It's alright, I don't think it was your mistake. After all, your judgment in the fight against that whale led to victory."

Yakumo saw through Yukotsu Chiyuki's frustration and immediately tried to comfort her. His upbringing was very simple, which made Yukotsu Chiyuki's personality very simple and honest, and she was prone to getting stuck on things.

After thinking for a moment, Yakumo stepped forward and pulled Yukotsu Chiyuki into his arms.

"Thank you, Master."

A few seconds later, the group was back on the bed, discussing their next plan.

"Have you completed your mission in the One Piece world?"

Masako asked Yakumo, her interest in the world ahead growing stronger after the battles in the dungeon.

The world of One Piece held no appeal for her anymore; she was eager to leave this world and begin a new exploration plan.

"Most of it is almost finished, and I plan to visit a few more people."

Before leaving, he needs to collect ten Devil Fruits from Luffy, and also visit Dragon and Hawkeye Mihawk.

The world of One Piece still needs its final wrap-up.

"Where do we go next?"

Masako Mori asked curiously.

"I want to go back to the ninja world and take a break."

Yakumo gave Mori Masako an answer that surprised her.

Exploring dungeons means danger, and danger means loss.

No matter how meticulous the plan, it cannot prevent the unexpected from happening. This is the lesson that the Arctic Feast instance taught Yakumo. One-Punch Man... the instance is the real body descending, and there is not even a chance to start over.

We must be cautious; only by being extremely cautious can we ensure safety.

The near-annihilation at the Arctic Feast changed Yakumo's mindset.

Chapter 441 Advancement, Rinnegan

The following day, the group returned to Tree Island through the passage.

Although it was only one night, it felt like a lifetime to the group. Memories of the Arctic kept resurfacing, and the group had a brief discussion about their next steps last night.

But in the early morning, Yakumo thought of some illogical things.

From beginning to end, Yakumo never figured out the reason for the change in environment.

Warmth and extreme cold seem to be separated by only a thought. This ability is clearly not a secret that the final boss named Kong could possess, unless there is actually a hidden thread in that dungeon that can be explored.

In his previous life, Yakumo was confident he could find the hidden clue. However, as the dungeon became an activity related to his own safety, he inevitably had many concerns and lost his keenness in uncovering hidden clues.

Dark clouds covered the sky, occasionally streaked with bright purple lightning, hidden among the clouds like a giant purple dragon appearing and disappearing. Waves swept across the area around Mori Island, making the air even more humid.

"It's estimated that it will rain heavily today."

Yakumo manipulated the tree roots of Morishima to grow upwards, making it several meters higher than the sea level, thus preventing the waves from washing seawater onto the surface of Morishima.

In the center of the island, Kakashi and Zoro were still sparring, and even when they weren't sparring, they would gather together to discuss ideas about swordsmanship, completely excluding Yuuki Chiyuki.

In their words, Yougu Qianxue was too perverted.

Zoro continues to strive to become the world's strongest swordsman.

"Luffy".

Yakumo called out.

The next second, Luffy, who had been sleeping, woke up, stretched out his hands and grabbed the ground around him like a slingshot. His arms began to regenerate, and he moved his body to Yakumo's side in an instant, landing steadily.

"I plan to leave today with a few people. If Kakashi wants to stay here and spar with Zoro, then I'll trouble you to take care of him for a while."

The main reason why Yakumo and the others are still here is because of Kakashi, but at this rate, even if several months pass, Kakashi still won't be willing to separate from Zoro.

The two were like close friends who shared the same fate.

“Of course, no problem, leave it to me!” Luffy immediately assured him.

"Since you intend to leave, I will set sail again after the storm passes and explore the world beyond the Grand Line."

"it is good."

Yakumo then explained to Kakashi that the group planned to leave. Just as he had guessed, Kakashi intended to stay and continue his research on swordsmanship with Zoro.

According to Kakashi, he feels like he has found something to complement Zoro, and the daily comparisons between them generate countless inspirations. He believes that it won't be long before he can improve his swordsmanship level.

Yakumo was also hearing about such a thing for the first time. Kakashi and Zoro's inspirations combined actually produced an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Yakumo expressed his support for this.

However, Yakumo also explained that the group would not stay in this world for long, and Kakashi would then need to consider whether to stay in the pirate world or return to the ninja world with the others.

That day, Yakumo led Masako Mori and the others away to the heart of the Free Federation, the Free City located on the Red Line.

After leaving Mori Island, the dark green airship flew through the air.

Not long after, they landed back on a deserted island not far away. Yakumo found a relatively flat spot and took out three storage scrolls.

"Yakumo, hurry up and take it out."

"it is good."

Yakumo plans to reorganize the treasures he acquired recently, which are the treasures amassed by the Celestial Dragons after ruling the world for eight hundred years—an incredibly vast treasure.

As Yakumo performed hand seals, three storage scrolls opened simultaneously, revealing a continuous stream of gold. Some of the gold was crafted into round coins, some was melted down into various shapes of utensils, and some was made into antiques with an ancient charm.

There were also dozens of Devil Fruits in a wooden box. Most of the Devil Fruits were used by the Celestial Dragons to create powerful beings, so the number wasn't too exaggerated, but most of the ones that were carefully preserved were relatively powerful fruits.

In addition, there are all kinds of ancient books that record many secrets about history, countries and the world. The types and quantities are very complex, and some of the books even have unfamiliar text on their covers.

The fist-sized gems reflected the dazzling sunlight. The most precious ones were the Guza, a notebook about Haki, physical skills, and swordsmanship training. These were valuable resources passed down through generations of Celestial Dragons.

After the three storage scrolls finished pouring out, three mountains made of gold appeared on the plain, containing approximately several thousand tons of gold.

"Everyone choose some things they like, and I plan to donate the rest to the Free Federation so that they can help the world do something."

Yakumo never considered taking these treasures for himself, because they were so vast that they could not be consumed even in hundreds of years. Once wealth reaches a certain level, it loses its original meaning.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Masako Mori created shadow clones to search through the gold mine, ultimately selecting only a few powerful Devil Fruits and a few fist-sized gems.

You Gu Qianxue was even more casual, carrying only a bag of gold coins.

Reiko Aoyama only took two Devil Fruits.

“Both my sister and Masako Mori chose Devil Fruits,” Yakumo said.

“This is for my future son and daughter,” Masako Mori replied.

Me too.

Reiko Aoyama gazed at Yakumo and smiled gently; her pert red lips looked exceptionally alluring.

Hmm...it's very moisturizing.

But when she looked at Masako Mori, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Masako Mori and Reiko Aoyama exchanged a glance, both with smiles on their faces, appearing exceptionally harmonious.

Yakumo suddenly felt a chill and immediately set off to collect the Celestial Dragons' treasure, no longer caring about the struggle between the two women. In his view, it was purely a mistake in Mori Masako's handling of the situation.

If I had to say that I would agree to take my relationship with Aoyama Reiko to the next level if Aoyama Reiko could defeat her, then what a person who walks alone in the darkness craves most is hope, and what is most terrifying is also hope.

It gives people strength, but it can also gradually make them become paranoid.

Yakumo instructed Yukotsu and Chiyuki to quickly store the three gold mountains into a storage scroll, intending to hand them over to Ryu later.

"The weather is nice today."

Masako Mori looked up at the overcast sky and sighed.

You call this weather nice?

Yakumo thought to himself, somewhat puzzled, when he heard Aoyama Reiko say something.

"The weather is really nice today."
