Konoha's Mission Master

"How about we have a spar today?" Mori Masako suggested.

“Okay,” Aoyama Reiko replied with a smile.

"You two, maybe we should just forget about it?"

Yakumo was startled and felt a chill run down his spine. He then offered his suggestion.

Elsewhere, You Gu Qianxue quietly retreated several hundred meters, leaving space for the two to engage in their next battle, her face filled with curiosity.

Like a badger in a melon field.

"Our strength has just made a breakthrough, and sparring is also a way for us to verify each other's abilities."

Masako Mori seemed oblivious to Yakumo's subtle hints and turned to Reiko Aoyama to continue speaking.

"Sister, do you think... this makes sense?"

Masako Mori didn't believe that Reiko Aoyama's knocking on the door in the middle of the night was an accident; wasn't this just deliberately ruining her plans...?

The provocation she had just received had also annoyed Mori Masako.

"Okay."

Reiko Aoyama was still smiling, but the atmosphere was tense.

"How about... we spar again next time, sister?"

Seeing that Masako Mori ignored his suggestive gaze, Yakumo could only turn to Reiko Aoyama for advice.

"I think Masako Mori is right. Our skills have improved, and sparring is also a way to verify each other's abilities."

Reiko Aoyama shook her head, seemingly agreeing with Masako Mori's words.

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it."

Yakumo was heartbroken and instantly teleported to Yukotsu Chiyuki's side, making room for the two of them to spar.

"Please, sister."

Masako Mori raised her hand politely, but her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"bring it on."

Fire and gale no longer cooperate harmoniously, but instead fight each other to the death.

"What do you think?" Yakumo asked Yukotsu Chiyuki, who was eating melon seeds.

The dark clouds in the sky began to rain at this moment. In fact, this kind of weather was not conducive to Mori Masako's battle. She said that the weather was very good... which meant that even if Aoyama Reiko had the advantage of favorable weather, she would still be confident of victory.

“I usually use my eyes to see…” Yougu Qianxue said in a serious tone.

Do you think you're funny?

"Master, what does humor mean?"

A hint of curiosity appeared on You Guqianxue's face, which, combined with his delicate and charming features, made him look like a kitten tilting its head and asking questions.

This man possesses such damnable charm.

Yakumo felt even more exhausted.

A yandere girlfriend, a scheming older sister, and a cute but effeminate apprentice...

It seems like there aren't any normal people here, right?

What Mori Masako could think of, Yakumo certainly knew... Last night, Aoyama Reiko specifically invited Yukotsu Chiyuki to knock on the door and ruin Mori Masako's plans.

"Master, you seem a little unhappy. Should I go and stop you?"

You Gu Qianxue scratched her head and offered a rather immature suggestion.

"Forget it, don't make things worse."

Yakumo shook his head and began to watch the battle between the two.

Masako Mori was able to adjust the size of Susanoo, compressing it to about two meters to fight against Reiko Aoyama, who controlled the gale and possessed the ability to fly.

Although Masako Mori can use the ability of the Phantom Bird to fly, her flying ability depends on changes in airflow.

This was an area that Reiko Aoyama was in control of, which meant that she had completely lost the ability to fly at high altitudes.

Masako Mori's strength lies in her powerful close-combat abilities, while Reiko Aoyama's strength lies in her powerful ranged abilities. Their abilities counter each other, yet neither can truly defeat the other completely.

The two fought for three hours without a clear winner.

Yakumo and Yukotsu Chiyuki were already at the edge of the battlefield, using vines to create a large umbrella, and under the umbrella, using wooden vines to create two reclining chairs.

"Master, who do you think will win, Mori Masako or Aoyama-nee-san?"

"Mori Masako".

Yakumo gave his answer almost without hesitation: setting aside their exclusive weapons and Devil Fruit abilities, there was a world of difference between the two in terms of physical talent.

Masako Mori possesses the complete Otsutsuki bloodline, and her growth potential is already at the Six Paths level. Reiko Aoyama, on the other hand, although her cells have been activated by chakra, her talent is at most at the peak of an ordinary person, similar to Orochimaru's physique.

“I think the same thing as my master,” Yougu Qianxue replied.

He was well aware of Mori Masako's terrifying physical talent, which was why he was so persistent in practicing swordsmanship, using the increased attack power from swordsmanship to compensate for the difference in their physical constitution.

Three more hours passed.

The surrounding winds had thinned considerably, but the fires continued to burn, covering most of the battle area. Aoyama Reiko could only manage to defend herself.

Yakumo watched the two fighting.

Suddenly I felt I should have a talk with Reiko Aoyama.

"The Wrath of the Heavenly Emperor, Yang Yan!"

A massive pillar of fire rose from the sky, shattering the dark clouds and bathing the island in sunlight, while simultaneously dispersing the surrounding gales.

The raging flames evaporated all the rainwater that had gathered on the island, turning it into water vapor that rose up and re-gathered into white clouds.

The entire island was enveloped by Masako Mori's aura, and she herself seemed to undergo some kind of transformation, her aura becoming even more powerful.

Reiko Aoyama fell from the sky with a hint of resentment. Masako Mori hadn't aimed her at the final blow, otherwise she would have been severely injured, or even lost her life.

Kamori Masako's chakra was generated at an extremely fast speed, and then flowed continuously within her body, its quantity constantly increasing and breaking through the original limit, as if she was undergoing some kind of transformation.

Yakumo stood up, a look of surprise on his face.

Mori Masako's blood-red eyes were spinning rapidly, her mental power soaring at an extremely fast speed. Her eyes seemed to form two vortexes, causing people to unconsciously sink into them and become confused.

Those were pinkish silk threads forming the Rinnegan.

This is slightly different from Madara Uchiha's light purple Rinnegan; it is a completely new Rinnegan that Yakumo has never seen before, with its light pink eyes exuding extraordinary nobility.

That pride wasn't something acquired later in life, but rather a noble will etched into her bloodline at birth, making her inherent majesty impossible to ignore.

In fact, during the Arctic battle, Masako Mori experienced the pressure of death, felt the pain of her body being shattered, and developed a desire for power—a belief in becoming stronger.

When this belief encounters an attribute point, it is transformed into an opportunity.

The opportunity to upgrade the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to the Rinnegan is not enough to fully complete the upgrade. Today's battle with Reiko Aoyama, especially the moment when she was suppressed in the first half, ignited her indomitable will.

This willpower helped her turn the tide and win in the second half.

At the same time, the opportunity to advance to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was completely ignited. With the cooperation of the bloodline in his body, his eyes naturally transitioned to the Rinnegan. Finally, he completely transformed at the moment of defeating Aoyama Reiko.

Mori Masako slowly took off as if defying gravity. She did not use her Devil Fruit ability to create wings, nor did she need to rely on air currents; she simply mastered the ability to fly.

This is just a minor ability within the Rinnegan.

She stood tall in the sky, her body bathed in sunlight, radiant and dazzling.

Like a goddess descended from heaven, high above.

Mori Masako suddenly lowered her head and smiled radiantly at Aoyama Reiko.

He spoke softly.

"Sister, you're too kind!"

Chapter 442 The Final Journey Home

"Yes, I lost."

Reiko Aoyama said, clutching her still-bleeding shoulder. Looking at Masako Mori, who was unharmed in the sky, she suddenly felt a sense of defeat, and her confidence began to crumble.

This time she saw the difference between the two clearly. She was covered in blood and looked terrible, while her enemy was calm and composed, without any injuries, standing in the sky like a god.

"It's good that you admit defeat."

Mori Masako slowly descended from mid-air, a smile blooming on her face, as if hearing Aoyama Reiko admit defeat was even more gratifying than activating the Rinnegan.

Her eyes returned to normal black and white pupils. In fact, after evolving into the Rinnegan, she could keep her eyes in a certain state.

In the original work, Madara Uchiha often maintained the Rinnegan, most likely purely for the sake of looking cool.

Yakumo walked over from a distance and created a shadow clone to heal the two of them. His smile was very obvious, and he was happy for Mori Masako's improved strength.

As the Otsutsuki bloodline gradually awakens, her lifespan will also increase significantly. Perhaps a thousand years from now... the only person who can stay by her side is Mori Masako. As for the others, they may only live for a few hundred years.

"Congratulations on awakening the Rinnegan," Yakumo said.

"It was all a coincidence, and I should thank my sister for playing along with my antics."

Masako Mori waved her hand modestly, but her tone was somewhat sarcastic; she was seizing the opportunity to launch a sarcastic attack.

"You're welcome. I also want to test my abilities."

Aoyama Reiko still wore a gentle smile, but it seemed somewhat forced. Furthermore, seeing that her injuries had been basically healed, Yakumo dispelled his shadow clone.

Seeing this scene, Reiko Aoyama felt another wave of disappointment.

Yakumo sensed Aoyama Reiko's disappointment, and perhaps it was time to say something: fearless hope is the most harmful thing.

"Actually, what Masako Mori said was just a joke. Even if she agreed... I wouldn't agree."

"I already have the love in my heart, and I wish to be with her for all eternity."

When Yakumo finished speaking, Reiko Aoyama could no longer maintain her smile, and her face was filled with sorrow and grief, with tears welling up in her eyes.
