Konoha's Mission Master

But he never expected that Yakumo possessed the ability to read minds, and directly revealed his trump card, taking away the meaning he had given to death.

Onoki suffered another defeat, and a strong sense of resentment welled up from the bottom of his heart.

This resentment eventually transformed into a desire to live. Only by living could he find a plan to defeat Yakumo. In Onoki's mind... the Third and Fourth Raikage were already defeated opponents.

Now his enemy is the pinnacle of the ninja world, and the strongest person.

"I understand, you want to live."

“I didn’t!” Onoki immediately raised his head and retorted.

"Okay then, you don't have it."

Yakumo slowly stood up and continued speaking.

"All I know is that when you die, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and even Konoha will clap and celebrate, while Iwagakure will lose its current preferential treatment."

"Preferential treatment? Iwagakure is gone!" Onoki gripped the pure white sheet tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with obsession and madness.

"Under the onslaught of Konoha's army, Iwagakure has been disbanded!"

“But you are all still alive. The inhabitants of the Land of Earth are completely free from drought. No one dies from lack of water anymore. They can all enjoy a nice hot bath in the fish tank…” Yakumo said.

"......"

Ōnoki fell silent once again, because what Yakumo said was true.

He had also returned to the Land of Earth, and it was that trip that solidified his belief in dying. Improving the environment of the Land of Earth and ensuring that no one in the population would starve to death was his lifelong wish.

This wish has indeed come true.

However, Onoki discovered that in the hearts of the people of the Land of Earth, he was a traitor, a coward, and the origin of all wrongdoing, while Konoha became the savior who improved everything.

Onoki remembered... Yakumo performed hand seals to improve the environment of the Land of Earth, and was thus elevated to a divine status, gaining countless respects and admiration.

But what they didn't know was that all this beauty was obtained by him... Onoki, who humbled himself, abandoned his dignity and beliefs, and traded it all from Konoha...

"If you die, many people will laugh so hard they can't sleep."

Yakumo looked at Onoki's gradually turning ashen face and continued speaking.

Do you still want to die?

"In no mood!!"

Onoki's eyes were bloodshot, and he no longer concealed his desire to live. Fortunately, there were only three people in the entire ward.

That solves it.

"The whole charade should never have started, so let's end it here."

Yakumo reached out and grasped Onoki's withered wrist, and his life force quickly transformed into healing energy that could restore everything.

At the same time, he took out the life cells from the storage scroll and inserted them into Onoki's wrist. Under the influence of life energy, the life cells rapidly divided and multiplied.

Onoki's originally withered body gradually became full and plump, and his complexion regained its color. It was like a miracle.

"This... is simply indescribable."

Huang Tu stood up, stunned, and sighed.

He watched as his father, from a dying state, gradually recovered to his peak condition, his hair turning completely black, and even the bald top of his head began to grow black hair again.

This process lasted less than three minutes.

Onoki came back to life.

"I won't save you next time."

Yakumo withdrew his hand and said very seriously.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Onoki smiled, feeling that he had finally won a round, since Yakumo not only saved him, but also improved his physical fitness to its peak.

“You shouldn’t see me as an enemy you want to defeat; otherwise, you’ll miss out on a lot of fun,” Yakumo said.

Then, he took two steps and completely opened the curtains.

"Looking out from here, Konoha is beautiful, isn't it?"

After saying this, Yakumo disappeared from the ward and reappeared in the corridor.

Actually, Onoki's problem wasn't serious at all; it was just weakness caused by prolonged physical exertion.

Within Konoha, Tsunade, Reiko Aoyama, and Rin Nohara could have perfectly resolved this problem, but they all chose to let Onoki's body gradually wither away.

"In a general sense, I probably disappointed many people with my actions."

Yakumo thought to himself.

Not long after, Masako Mori pushed open the door and left Mei Terumi's apartment, her face beaming with a bright smile, clearly having received a satisfactory answer after the negotiations.

Although Mei Terumi admired Yakumo, she didn't want to die. Perhaps she never dreamed that... Masako Mori would suddenly attack with all her might without warning.

“Mei Terumi is still alive...that’s good,” Yakumo said.

"Tsk, feeling sorry for him?" Masako Mori laughed.

"of course not."

In fact, if Reiko Aoyama and Rin Nohara had done their best to treat Mei Terumi's injuries, she should have been discharged from the hospital long ago, but they didn't go all out.

Clearly... some high-ranking officials in Konoha do not want Mei Terumi and Onoki to continue to be active under their watchful eyes, and hope to make them disappear for a while through this method.

"Who is the person who wants Onoki and Terumi Mei to disappear?"

Yakumo asked himself the question as countless streams of information converged before his eyes.

[Tsunade, of the Senju Clan.]

Yakumo paused slightly in his steps. The answer he received from the All-Knowing Eye did not align with his inner goal... He even momentarily doubted the accuracy of the All-Knowing Eye.

But... actually, this makes sense.

There aren't many people within Konoha who could persuade Reiko Aoyama and Rin Nohara not to go all out on the treatment, but Tsunade happens to possess that quality...

Reiko Aoyama and Tsunade are best friends. When Rin Nohara joined the Life Cell Group, the person who taught her medical ninjutsu was Tsunade.

"What's wrong?" Masako Mori asked.

"It's nothing." Yakumo shook his head.

"Why did you treat Onoki?" Masako Mori asked.

The two hospital rooms were less than 100 meters apart, and Yakumo did not deliberately conceal his ability when using it, so not only Mori Masako... but even Aoyama Reiko could feel the fluctuations of life energy.

The fact that Ōnoki was healed by Yakumo was destined to be revealed, which would disappoint many people in Konoha.

"Because he still uses it, right?"

Yakumo's treatment was not out of pity, but because if he failed to explore that world and could not stop the expansion of the void energy... then the ninja world would need strong people in ten years... to fight back.

"Useful?" Mori Masako asked, exasperated.

"It's nothing really." Yakumo shook his head.

He didn't intend to tell anyone about the possibility of the ninja world being invaded by void energy, unless the day came when everyone had to know.

That day... it must have been after the entire four-person squad was wiped out.

After the two returned home, Yakumo lay down on the rattan chair.

I quietly asked myself the question.

"Tsunade, why don't you want Mei Terumi and Onoki to leave the hospital?"

The Senju clan needs land deeds in several new districts to expand, which would deprive the two hidden villages of their leader and allow them to negotiate lower prices.

The land deeds for Konoha's four new districts were distributed to the four hidden villages.

Of course, it wasn't without a price. To acquire the four new districts, most of the treasures of the four great families of the four nations were obtained in exchange for the land deeds.

Now that Konoha is destined to become the largest city in the ninja world, the Konoha ninja clan hopes to buy back the land deeds that were sold at high prices at a low price.

"So that's how it is." Yakumo got the answer.

The Valkyrie, who once yearned for freedom and unrestraint, will also be burdened with shackles due to family responsibilities, and will do things that she used to disdain.

Yakumo found Tsunade's change somewhat difficult to understand; she shouldn't be like this...

However, Orochimaru's possession of Nawaki's body and his subsequent resurrection allowed the Senju clan to re-emerge, effectively eliminating the possibility of them disbanding again. Furthermore, Nawaki later awoke from his unconscious state.

Out of familial affection, Tsunade could not choose to escape; out of a sense of responsibility, she had to lead the Senju clan forward.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood?"

Suddenly, Masako Mori walked up to her and sat down on the rattan chair next to her, breathing softly into Yakumo's ear.

"It's nothing."

"We will travel to the world where Tornado is in a while."

Yakumo said to Mori Masako, trying to change the subject.

"Great."

Masako Mori immediately spoke, successfully changing the subject.

Her mind involuntarily drifted to all sorts of games she hadn't had the chance to try back then. There were many games she hadn't been able to try when she left, and that remained a regret in her heart.

"This time we're going in person, so you can bring back a few top-of-the-line computers and download hundreds of games."

Yakumo was well aware of Mori Masako's thoughts; the internet-addicted girl was naturally overjoyed to have the opportunity to engage with games again.

"I love you." Masako Mori immediately kissed Yakumo.

As Onoki recovered his health, Konoha seemed to have undergone some changes, yet it also seemed that nothing had changed at all.

A few nights later, Yakumo went to the secret base.

During this time, he accumulated a lot of gold coins but had nowhere to use them, since many of his skills had reached a near-perfect level.

But now... he's come up with a direction: improving his Wood Release.

Yakumo immediately found the Wood Release section and tapped the plus sign.

[Note: This skill cannot be upgraded at this time because you have already seen the true form of the Void Realm Ruler. Facing it again will result in an attack.]
