Konoha's Mission Master

When Yakumo appeared, all the fish went into a frenzy.

"A newbie, huh?"

"There are even newcomers!"

"The Third Hell Zone, and people are actually coming here!"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat! Eat him!"

Looking at the gray fish, Yakumo suddenly felt that if he devoured them, he would gain immense power, perhaps even immortality, and possibly surpass Uchiha Juntama.

But he was wondering, who exactly was Uchiha Runyu?

Swallow them, and you will be eternal.

The seductive voice echoed once more in the void, as if the devil himself were anticipating Yakumo's fall and his devouring of the gray fish.

"But they're so ugly."

Swallow them and you will get everything you want.

"But they're so ugly."

Immortality, supreme power, and endless wealth.

"But they're so ugly."

Yakumo subconsciously adjusted his position, moving away from the murky, bubbling sea. Having weathered the recent storm, his flight speed had become even faster, and his wings were even more powerful.

The dark brown river no longer flows.

Finally, he saw a sea of ​​a completely new color. Beneath the surface of this sea, it seemed as if a ninja world had been created, where everything and everyone that Yakumo cherished existed, and Konoha Village was hidden within the dense and lush forest.

Mori Masako lay on the rattan chair, holding the baby in her arms, and waved to Yakumo.

"Stop it, let's go live a happy life together."

Yakumo could clearly see the ninja world beneath the sea, his familiar home, and his wife waving to him.

“I want to see the end of the sea,” Yakumo said.

"Didn't you want a stable life?"

Masako Mori, who was below sea level, suddenly opened her mouth and asked.

"Yes, but I feel I should go to the end of the sea."

"I was born with wings, and I was meant to soar for a long time."

Yakumo no longer lingered. He always felt that the person was somewhat fake, and if it were really Mori Masako, she would unconditionally support all his decisions.

He continued flying and finally approached the end of the sea, where there was an island several kilometers in size. In the center of the island grew a large tree, which was full of fruit, most of which were not yet ripe.

Yakumo flew onto the island, and his soul began to change shape. His soaring wings transformed into arms, and his legs extended from his body. His eyes opened, and all his memories returned.

It turns out... he was undergoing a breakthrough of 100 points in his soul. This was not a dream, but a space designed specifically for the soul. Only by reaching the other side and stepping onto this island could he truly complete his transformation.

If he wavers along the way and chooses to approach the sea, he will transform into those fish, forever trapped in this space, and his external body will become a vegetable.

Love, hate, greed, delusion... are nothing but a fleeting dream.

The silver fish, having given up for love, hold envy and blessings for those who come after them, making it the safest sea area.

The gray fish represent hatred. They float and sink in the putrid sewage, failing because of the hatred they are unwilling to let go of. Their hearts have been completely twisted, and they hope that those who come after them will become their companions.

The assembled assembly represents greed.

They lose their right because of greed. Even if they fall into the sea of ​​desire, they will still want to devour their own kind to grow. So they only have pure greed for those who come after them.

Even if they devour their own kind, they cannot gain any happiness; it only fuels their even greater greed, leading them to continue devouring until only one remains. Then, they disintegrate again, transforming into countless greedy fish, repeating the process.

Failure in the first three areas means being permanently trapped in this space, becoming a slave to this ocean, forever losing happiness and all freedom, and spending the rest of one's life nourishing the Tree of Talent on the island.

The fourth area represents delusions.

It is often the deepest desire in the heart of the challenger, and if the challenge fails, there will not be a great price to pay. They will only sink into a dream world that is close to reality and enjoy the life they once dreamed of.

In the end, it all came to nothing.

Yakumo began to walk toward the center of the island. With each step, the island provided him with some energy to help his soul complete its final transformation.

100...120....130....159...219。

When he reached the tree, his soul level had soared to 219.

Yakumo's state of mind remained completely calm. This challenge was more like a mental cultivation exercise, allowing him to reach a special state where he would no longer be moved by external things, whether it was joy or sorrow.

But this is different from being cold and ruthless; it's more like a kind of control. He believes that an increase in intelligence is not enough to make him happy, so he will not experience any joy.

There are several message boards under the big tree.

First, when newcomers are unsure what to do, choose the largest one at the top, but never choose the red fruit. Remember, the pure white Hope Fruit is a rip-off, so never choose it.

Secondly, I took the red fruit. The first point was right; the red fruit was indeed a huge trap, and now there's no going back.

For the third option, I chose the Fruit of Hope, which was indeed a huge rip-off.

Fourthly, this tree represents the primordial power of the universe. The fruit on the tree does not make one invincible; it merely represents a starting point.

Fifthly, starting points vary, but what suits you best is always the right choice.

Yakumo raised his head and looked at the treetops.

There was a gray fruit and a colorless fruit, both of which seemed vaguely familiar to him. Just as he was struggling with this, the colorless fruit seemed to have ripened too perfectly and rolled off the branch.

thump—

It hit Yakumo on the head.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the ninja world. His intelligence attribute was dropping at an extremely rapid rate, from a terrifying 219 to a final score of 100.

"Oh, so this is a trial card."

Yakumo muttered something unpleasantly, then waved his hand to untie the wooden cocoons binding him. Countless blood-red vines re-merged into the wooden planks beneath his feet, and the shadow clone in the distance vanished instantly.

[Note: Congratulations to the player for breaking the ninth-level limit in Soul attribute.]

[Hint: The Omniscient Eye's abilities have been enhanced, doubling its processing speed and making its observation of powerful data more accurate and closer to nature, allowing it to grasp the essential characteristics of the universe.]

[Note: Congratulations to the player for obtaining the talent Time Stop.]

[Note: This ability will grow stronger as your soul improves. Currently, it can pause time for one second each time, has no cooldown, and consumes soul power.]

With a thought, Yakumo's surroundings instantly froze.

Even if it's only for a second, he has indeed mastered the ability to manipulate time. This might be an ability derived from the colorless fruit. If so, what kind of ability does the gray fruit represent?

"What ability does the Gray Fruit correspond to?" Yakumo asked.

[Hint: Space.]

"I see."

Yakumo thought to himself that he actually preferred the ability to time to space. Freezing everything would definitely boost the battle more than spatial movement, especially since he already possessed the ability to move space.

[Note: Using Time Stop on someone with an Intelligence attribute exceeding a certain level will incur a terrifying cost, potentially leading to soul depletion and death.]

"...This price is a bit too high."

"Okay, I admit that your spatial abilities aren't bad either."

Chapter 458 The Ninja World Landscape, Spiritual Purification

Inside the secret base, Yakumo took a step forward, the space distorted, and he instantly appeared high in the sky, looking down...overlooking the entire ninja world.

Countless streams of information flooded into the brain.

Natural energy is declining year by year.

[Chakra concentration slowly increases.]

The Child of the World has been born.

The causal chain has deviated from its original trajectory, and the world has strayed from its historical course.

[Unable to be corrected or fixed.]

Yakumo discovered that as long as he had that intention, he could instantly pinpoint the location of anyone in the ninja world. This was the effect of the upgraded All-Knowing Eye, and he seemed to have become a god.

However, the sheer volume of information, even information involving causality, was a huge burden for him.

The effects of thirty-five years of experience on Elanwell Star are indeed fading rapidly, but the side effects of the All-Seeing Eye continue to take effect.

Yakumo gazed at the almost invisible outline in the distance—the shadow of the moon. The next second... the moon in Yakumo's eyes became clear, as if it were right in front of him, within his reach.

[Sealing Technique: Six Paths Level - Planetary Devastation]

[Character: Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, currently being sealed...]

[Sealing duration: 1021 years; expected to disappear in 30 years.]

The sealed energy is slowly dissipating...

Yakumo suddenly realized that even without Black Zetsu's thousand-year plan to save his mother, Hamura's seal would still eventually crumble, because the true power in this world is time, and even sealing energy cannot exist for long...

"Black Zetsu's plan will surely succeed."

"But Kaguya Otsutsuki will inevitably be sealed away as well."

Naruto and Sasuke, these chosen ones of the world, were, in a sense, born to strengthen the seal. Perhaps even a thousand years later, someone will still be needed to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Yakumo slowly closed her eyes. Beneath her feet was a blue planet. The void was absolutely silent. Yakumo felt the cold, the blinding sunlight, and a moment of tranquility.

When he focuses his gaze, an information flow is formed. This is the passive nature of the all-knowing eye, which cannot be changed... Therefore, only by closing his eyes can he feel tranquility.

A few minutes later, Yakumo quietly opened her eyes.

A massive amount of information surged forth instantly, almost causing Yakumo's brain to crash. This information even included the temperature and light intensity of the area, as well as energy particles in the universe.

[Note: The player's planet will be corrupted by ethereal energy in ten years, at which time most life on this planet will perish. Therefore, it's not that Lord Runyu is unwilling to give the player time, but rather that your time is running out.]

In a daze, text generated by the game system appeared before my eyes.

"I understand."
