Konoha's Mission Master

[Mission Requirements: Master the Seven Forms of the Source Blade Technique.]

[Mission Reward: For each skill mastered, you will be rewarded with 100 years of free life, which can be allocated to any character.]

[Ultimate Reward: When players master all seven forms of the Source Blade Technique, they will gain the power of miracles, increasing the maximum lifespan of any one character to eternity.]

“…”

Yakumo remained silent. He felt that this ultimate trial was somewhat deliberate, probably meaning that... as long as he performed well enough to satisfy Lord Runyu, he would be able to gain the opportunity to grant Mori Masako immortality.

This reward is indeed very tempting.

"Damn it...isn't this just being a simp?"

Yakumo thought to himself, "When the chance to live forever is right in front of me, and all I have to do is complete the task to get my greatest wish, how could I possibly refuse?"

Most importantly... he wanted to witness it with Masako Mori...

The world changes, the sea dries up and the rocks crumble.

[Note: Congratulations to the player for gaining one hundred years of free life.]

"Added to the body of You Gu Qianxue."

Yakumo gave the order, explaining that the reason it wasn't Mori Masako was because the final chance for immortality belonged to Mori Masako, and beyond that... he planned to divide the early rewards equally between Yukotsu Chiyuki and Aoyama Reiko.

"Can the Ultimate Trial be done once a day?"

Yakumo asked in a low voice, "Isn't it just gambling with your life?"

He wasn't afraid at all, mainly because the reward was too tempting.

[Note: Each interval should be at least one month.]

"Okay, then once a month."

[Note: The conditions for the final trial have been changed.]

Yakumo originally planned to defeat Buu and clear the tenth floor of the game arena after improving his swordsmanship, but now he has canceled this plan. His heart is filled with too many questions and too many worries.

But he had no choice but to believe and go down a dark path.

Using spatial teleportation, Yakumo returned to her bedroom.

Masako Mori lay on the bed, reading a book under the lamplight. She was covered by a thin blanket, through which her exquisite curves and her toes dangling freely in the air could be vaguely seen.

"You're back?" Masako Mori asked casually, then placed the book she was holding on the bedside table. The title of the book was...

How to be a good mother

In Yakumo's memory, Masako Mori seemed to dislike reading, or rather, she wasn't interested in anything that required excitement.

"I'm back."

Yakumo stepped forward and lay down beside Yukotsu Chiyuki, spreading half of the thin blanket over himself. His eyes were unconsciously vacant as he continued to think about everything that had happened in the courtyard and Runyu's goal.

“You don’t look very happy,” Masako Mori said.

"The world we finally explored was far more dangerous than I had imagined, far more dangerous than any of my previous adventures."

Yakumo said in a deep voice, but still concealed the contents. He instinctively felt that he shouldn't tell Mori Masako about the monsters in the universe and what happened in that courtyard.

If I tell them, something terrible might happen.

"Then we can wait until we are strong enough before we explore."

Upon hearing this, Masako Mori answered almost without hesitation, reaching out to grasp Yakumo's hand and gently stroking it. In her view, this was a very simple principle: if you can't beat them now, then you can fight them later.

It's not a big deal... We can't just walk into a fight when we can't win.

"But... there aren't that many opportunities to prepare."

After leaving the courtyard, Yakumo realized that his time was running out. In the past, he was the one who decided when to explore, but now the one who decided when to explore was... Runyu.

"Does the time have to be reached before we have to go on?" Masako Mori asked in surprise.

"That's about right."

Runyu has his own goals, and naturally he won't let Yakumo hold him back.

“Then let’s die together,” Mori Masako replied.

"Whether it's danger or a desperate situation."

"As long as you are by my side, I have nothing to fear."

Masako Mori looked at the books on the bedside table with some regret. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to see her child for the next few years. After all, their future was uncertain, and they couldn't just have a child and then let him become an orphan, could they?

"It's okay, I believe...we can succeed."

Yakumo answered seriously that since that world is dangerous enough, it must also mean that the rewards there will be great enough. From this perspective, it is indeed necessary to take a gamble.

Perhaps... that world holds the opportunity for Yougu Qianxue and Qingshan Lingzi to achieve immortality, after all... even Runyu, the strongest being in the universe, harbors great fear of that world.

Otherwise, why didn't he explore it himself?

"Yes, I believe you... are capable of anything."

Masako Mori held Yakumo's hand and said with great pride, just like when Yakumo was young and shouted in front of his father that he would spend his whole life healing himself.

Having one's own boyfriend is a miracle in itself.

Masako Mori's lips curled into a faint smile, and she would be Yakumo's most reliable ally; the two of them combined would be invincible.

The two embraced and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Yakumo manipulated his shadow clones to prepare breakfast, while he dressed, took a shower, and quietly waited in the living room, while Mori Masako took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing.

"What are you writing?" Yakumo asked curiously.

"Regarding my future cultivation plans, I feel that there is still untapped potential in my bloodline, especially since its coordination with my exclusive weapon is not yet perfect. Since that world is so dangerous... I must strive to become stronger."

Masako Mori said matter-of-factly, and then continued writing.

Yakumo activated his Soul Eye, secretly observing Mori Masako's plan.

This plan is quite detailed, including specific training plans in three areas: physical techniques, Sage Mode, and Rinnegan, and it also lists many feasible strategies.

For example... In the morning, I sparred with Yukotsu Chiyuki to hone my combat skills.

For example... at noon, I sparred with Reiko Aoyama to hone my combat skills.

For example...in the evenings, he would spar with Yakumo to hone his combat skills and willpower.

Overall, they are either on their way to battle or on their way to battle, and in order to become stronger, they even plan out specific foods to replenish the stamina they consume.

Masako Mori's determination to become stronger was stronger than ever before.

“Actually... you don’t need to work so hard,” Yakumo advised.

"I don't know what dangers exist in that world, nor do I know why I must explore it, but if... I have to go there, I don't want to be a burden; I want to be a reliable comrade."

Mori Masako answered earnestly, and Yakumo couldn't help but be moved. The point Mori Masako wanted to make was very simple... even if going to hell was the destination, she would fight alongside Yakumo to the very last moment.

"I have a reason why I must win."

Yakumo closed his eyes and began to ponder the direction to become stronger. He began to doubt whether he had overestimated the game system. He decided to wait until his attributes improved in all aspects before dealing with the enemies he couldn't defeat.

An invincible boss awaits the improvement of swordsmanship to be defeated.

Yakumo wondered if he could surpass Runyu and become a new ninth-level powerhouse in the universe.

In his mind... Yakumo began to categorize the abilities he had mastered.

Sage Mode can be used to improve your abilities.

The Wood Release manual can enhance one's abilities.

The Hatake sword technique has evolved into the Origin sword technique and can be improved.

Can these various energies be further enhanced?

Yakumo ultimately set his sights on becoming stronger through Sage Mode and swordsmanship, and has been collecting and absorbing as many items as possible that can amplify his power.

The Origin Blade Technique is actually Yakumo's strongest technique. It is derived from the supreme blade technique of Runyu, a ninth-level powerhouse in the universe, and has basically reached a perfect level. It is the strongest, but also the most difficult to change.

Yakumo pictured Runyu's composed smile in his mind, as if he were sitting amidst a vast army, seeing through everything and in control of everything.

Suddenly, Yakumo opened his eyes and saw Masako Mori, who was working on her plan with utmost seriousness, and an idea popped into his head.

That is... he wants to modify the Source Blade Technique!

Since this is the strongest path, Yakumo will make it the strongest path that truly belongs to him.

The universe is vast and boundless.

"A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of melancholy and subservience to others!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang….

Yakumo appeared at the secret base and casually created hundreds of shadow clones, asking them to study how to modify the Source Blade Technique and make breakthroughs based on it.

He once comprehended his own swordsmanship in a desperate situation, and even learned the technique of stacking energy from You Gu Qianxue, thus broadening his path to master-level swordsmanship. This proves that even without relying on the system, he can become very strong.

It's nothing more than...breaking everything down and starting over.

After arranging for his shadow clones to train, Yakumo returned home and began serving breakfast, his fighting spirit still high.

But you still need to eat breakfast...

After all, people need food to survive; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal.

"Mori Masako, time for breakfast."

"Here I am, here I am."

Masako Mori skipped and hopped across the living room, her feet landing on the wooden floor... as if she weren't wearing shoes.

Upon seeing this scene, Yakumo's worries quickly dissipated.

It's not time to despair yet; after all, we haven't reached a point where we're truly powerless.
