Konoha's Mission Master

"...Can't you stop him?" Yakumo asked.

[Note: The life rules of that ruler have been corrupted by ethereal energy. Forcing one to learn them could easily lead to the soul being eroded by the ethereal energy.]

Instead of answering Yakumo's question, the game system gave a different answer, which successfully triggered Yakumo's rebellious nature, causing her to ask a question in a low voice this time.

"So you...you couldn't stop it?"

[Hint: I can't stop them.]

"Why didn't you just admit it sooner?"

With a wave of his hand, Yakumo opened the game panel. Looking at the incredibly luxurious panel, he felt a sense of powerlessness because he could no longer improve any of his skills. He felt that he had reached some kind of limit.

Attribute points are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, the game system no longer issues quests, and dungeons can no longer be refreshed. The only remaining quest has been renamed the Ultimate Trial.

It felt like... he was a leek, now fully grown and ready to be harvested, needing no further nurturing.

"Are there any other tasks I can perform?"

[Hint: Players need to complete the final trial as soon as possible.]

"What will happen if I fail?"

[Note: This question cannot be answered.]

Yakumo knew he would die, and die without a proper burial.

That's why he can't give up, and he needs to keep working hard and keep challenging all the impossible factors.

Since the game system couldn't improve his strength, he decided to find an opportunity to improve himself.

Yakumo performed hand seals to recall the shadow clone that was refining the Source Blade Technique, and stood in place, continuously absorbing the immense amount of memories, because the shadow clone could also use the Heavenly Spring Mode.

This results in the shadow clones having a near-permanent existence time, requiring Yakumo to actively dispel them each time in order to reap the memories.

Countless memories, like pieces of a puzzle, continuously filled in the gaps in the policy and direction of the improvement of the Source Blade Technique... This also brought a glimmer of hope to this incredibly difficult task.

An opportunity for success.

'The 2310th attempt at improvement failed.'

'6212th improvement...increased strength by two times.'

Chapter 467 Limit Break Mode (Part 1)

"Success!"

"The 6212th improvement doubled the strength."

Yakumo immediately showed surprise, which meant that his efforts during this period had not been in vain, but had instead yielded a bright and perfect starting point.

He quickly blocked out the rest of his memories and carefully examined the modified memory codenamed 6212. Immediately, a scene appeared in his mind and played at a normal speed.

With sealing techniques as its core, Yin sealing as its inspiration, and Yin-Yang sealing as its theoretical basis, it creates a new and stronger seal that seals the composite power of soul, will, and energy in a certain part of the body.

When the battle breaks out, the seal can be instantly broken, gaining a composite power that is even stronger than the Heavenly Spring mode, and then this composite power can be used to amplify the Breaking Army state.

Without disrupting the stability of the Tianquan mode's absorption...

Directly amplifying the power unleashed by the Breaking Army state—if this direction can truly continue to develop and eventually approach perfection... then the state utilizing this hidden, composite power will be defined as...

Limit-breaking mode.

At that time, under the enhanced Breaking Army mode, by activating the ultimate state and compressing the life force to its annihilation, the resulting attack would represent Yakumo's strongest attack, enough to surpass the inherent patterns of the Genji sword technique.

"In order to withstand the pressure of the combined power on the body, we need to continue to improve the strength of our physique. Fortunately, we have accumulated three Eternal Scrolls."

As Yakumo thought to himself, the confusion in his heart quickly dissipated, leaving only a strong interest in the Limit Break mode.

"Bang bang bang bang."

Countless shadow clones appeared, their goal being to perfect the sealing techniques needed for the Limit Break state, drawing inspiration from... Yin sealing techniques.

Yakumo took out the scroll of the Vortex Sealing Technique from his storage scroll and began to learn the Yin Seal. He believed that if he wanted to perfect that powerful sealing technique, he would definitely need to become proficient in the Yin Seal.

The surrounding vines extend, bearing pure white fruits that sway gently.

The next second, white light illuminated the somewhat dim base, and Ba Yun held a huge scroll, carefully reading the knowledge recorded on it.

Fortunately... he had learned the secret language used by the Uzumaki clan to record their inheritance, so reading about the practice methods of the Yin Seal was basically not difficult for him.

"To construct a seal with pure Yin Release chakra means to use one's spirit to restrain a wild beast in exchange for supreme power, making one invincible."

This is the principle of the Yin Seal. The purple crystal is actually an outer shell constructed from Yin Release chakra, used to compress the energy inside the seal.

"It turns out that there is a method to constructing Yin Release chakra. First, you need to determine a few points, then connect the points into lines, and then form a purple grid pattern with many lines. Finally, fill the gaps with Yin Release power."

Furthermore, the more resilient the mesh, the greater the amount of Yin energy it can contain, resulting in a more solid crystal that can hold an even more exaggerated amount of energy.

Suddenly, it occurred to Yakumo that if he used Yin Release and Yang Release to construct a grid, and then added two pure chakras to construct a crystal, the energy it could contain would be even more terrifying.

The problem now is that... the energy level of ordinary Yin and Yang Release chakra is too far from that of composite power, and it should be unable to bear this energy. He needs to find a more powerful energy to construct the crystal.

Thoughts raced through Yakumo's mind, but he quickly pulled his wandering thoughts back onto a normal track and continued reading the Yin Seal records.

After the crystal is constructed, it is necessary to introduce chakra that is as calm as possible. Only when one is meditating and concentrating will the chakra in the body transform into calm chakra. Only in this way can the crystal be perfectly introduced.

It won't cause damage, much less harm to the body.

An explosion of an attitude crystal would be extremely dangerous and could potentially cause severe physical damage, so the initial attempt should be made on other parts of the body.

Once you've gained sufficient skill, focus the crystal on the area between your eyebrows.

This is the safest approach. Of course, Yakumo has an even safer approach: to use shadow clones to try instead.

"Bang bang bang bang."

With a simple hand seal, Yakumo created ten shadow clones.

His main body planned to take a nap first and wait to receive good news from his shadow clone the next day.

Among the four basic attributes, the intelligence attribute enhances learning ability. When Yakumo's intelligence exceeds 100 points, her learning ability has been enhanced to a terrifying level. She can master the S-level difficulty sealing technique in one night.

In addition... he has accumulated a lot of gold coins now... so there is no need for any hesitation, he can reach the maximum level by simply getting the basics.

There was absolutely no need to hesitate; that's what it means to be rich and powerful.

The next day, Yakumo woke up from his sleep but did not see Mori Masako beside him. He sensed that she was practicing Sage Mode on the grass. With the complete awakening of the Otsutsuki physique, Mori Masako's talent was also fully stimulated, and her learning ability had surpassed that of Yukotsu Chiyuki.

Yakumo observed that Masako Mori had already broken through to the master level in her proficiency with Sage Mode, reaching the point where she could activate Sage Mode instantly. However, she was still some distance away from being able to maintain Sage Mode for an extended period of 24 hours.

Half an hour later, Yakumo had breakfast.

He didn't wake Mori Masako, who was practicing, but instead took a step forward.

We've arrived at the second private space of the secret base.

Immediately, he released all the shadow clones he had created while practicing the Yin Seal the night before. Memories of the Yin Seal immediately surfaced in his mind. Starting from nothing and building something from the basics, although he hadn't fully mastered it in one night, this level was already sufficient.

With a slight thought, the personal panel appeared.

[Introduction to Yin Seal 0/400 Acceleration]

Yakumo was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that the initial level of the Yin Seal would require forty accelerations, which was equivalent to four thousand gold coins.

This would have been a very high level of difficulty among the many S-rank ninjutsu in the past, but for Yakumo now, it's just a small amount of money.

Gold coins: 384321.

Nearly 400,000 gold coins are enough to bring the Yin Seal to its maximum.

"Yin Seal, accelerate forty times."

Yakumo lay on the wooden bed, slowly closed his eyes, and spoke softly.

Swah...

It was a dim world where countless transparent figures were trying to practice the Yin Seal. Some of the transparent figures made a mistake in their training, and the surging chakra caused their heads to explode.

Some of the transparent figures succeeded by sheer luck and started a second attempt. Those lucky ones were not so fortunate on the second attempt, as if they had lost the protection of Lady Luck and their heads were blown off.

Yakumo looked down at everything from his high vantage point, his expression unchanged. He had experienced this too many times... and was already somewhat numb to it.

Finally, countless transparent figures merged into one, compressed into a pale purple drop of water, floated upwards, and eventually merged into Yakumo's soul, giving birth to countless memories in his mind.

Yakumo lived through the life of the transparent shadows, experiencing their entire process from birth to brain development. The pain was incredibly real, as if he had personally experienced it.

But these memories could not stir any emotion in Yakumo, after all, his will had been tempered to be extremely strong.

But he had reason to suspect that the game system was retaliating against him. He could have easily erased the memory of that person whose head had been blown out, but it just didn't help Yakumo block it.

It's hard not to think that this is definitely retaliation for Yakumo's complaints about the game system last night.

"Why didn't you help me block it?" Yakumo asked directly, his tone somewhat unfriendly. Ever since he learned that the game system was actually Uchiha Juntama's creation, a rift inevitably appeared between the two.

[Tip: Pain can temper one's will and increase combat power.]

"Then why did you block me before?" Yakumo pressed again.

[Note: Previously, this was because your willpower hadn't undergone tempering and refinement, and there were concerns about its negative impact on the player's mental and physical well-being.]

"From now on... you won't help me block anymore?"

Yakumo tentatively accepted the game system's explanation, but still asked a question with some reluctance.

[Hint: All of this is to help players progress.]

"..."

Somewhat helplessly, Yakumo opened the game system.

I found the personal skills section directly.

[Yin Seal Proficiency 0/600 Acceleration]

"Yin Seal, accelerate sixty times."

Yakumo closed his eyes again, and his soul faintly left his body and arrived in a dim and lightless world. Many transparent figures appeared before his eyes again.

Like diligent ants, they practiced the Yin Seal techniques constantly, improving their proficiency. In the blink of an eye... some unfortunate ones failed, their heads bursting open from the surging chakra.

Next... a completely new, transparent human figure was filled in, and the practice continued.

Countless reincarnations, countless cycles.
