Konoha's Mission Master

Logically, even a soul shouldn't be able to perceive the existence of a crystal, yet Yakumo knew perfectly well... that it existed in the location of the heart.

It was a rather strange intuition; Yakumo was able to sense existence.

"What exactly is this black crystal?" Yakumo pondered.

Then, he brought up his personal interface to check the changes in the Yin Seal.

[Passive: Energy Mastery]

Our will can change the world.

Yakumo closed his eyes and then opened them again. The most noticeable change was that he could feel the energy emanating joy around him, constantly swirling around him, ready to transform into a terrifying attack at any moment.

Suddenly, Yakumo extended his finger, and a great deal of energy began to converge at his fingertip, like waves gradually rising on a calm lake. The ripples surged and gathered in the air, completing their transformation and compression.

Ultimately, the various energies mixed together.

The black crystal in his heart vibrated slightly, and the color of the energy diagram between his fingers gradually changed, from a brilliant rainbow of colors to being swallowed by black, until only a black sphere appeared on his fingers.

Yakumo sensed a threat from the energy sphere at his fingertips, but it wasn't fatal. The key point was that gathering an attack of this magnitude didn't consume any energy for him.

This is because the instinct is an attack generated passively.

"The black crystals react to energy compression and cause a certain amplification of the energy, enhancing the power of the attack."

Yakumo thought to himself that the next step was to continue testing the black crystal's other abilities, but before that, he needed to go home and see Mori Masako.

In Masako's memory, the two had only been apart for a month, but for Yakumo, tens of thousands of years had passed, even though the game system had blocked most of the memories.

However, Yakumo still felt somewhat unfamiliar with this world. Compared to that vast amount of memories, his experiences of more than ten years seemed too pale.

With a wave of his hand, water droplets condensed into a water curtain, reflecting Yakumo's appearance like a mirror. His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes carried a touch of transcendent coldness, and a slight smile played on his lips, as if he controlled all the wondrous changes in the world.

This appearance was somewhat similar to Uchiha Juntama, but to Yakumo it was an utterly unfamiliar aura, as if he had become a completely different person...

Those memories spanning tens of thousands of years eventually influenced Yakumo's state in a subtle way. Perhaps... this was a slow process of losing himself, a change that even he himself didn't realize.

Yakumo lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes again, and pondered her next plan and future intentions... She had to learn the final move of the Source Blade Technique, and it was only a little over ten days away.

What remains is the final exploration of the One-Punch Man world: freeing Saitama from his seal, defeating the god who manipulates everything, obtaining the final bonus of attribute points, and allocating them as much as possible to Strength and Agility...

The final instance... a world known as Hell.

"We'll take a break once we've finished exploring the last dungeon."

Yakumo lay down for a moment, then sat up again, using his willpower to seal and relocate the tens of thousands of years of memories in his mind to other places.

This time, he transformed into a gentle young man, radiating a warmth that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, and his smile became approachable.

This is who I truly am...

Does transcendence mean abandoning humanity?

Yakumo was puzzled.

However, it is true that one can rarely feel human emotions in Akai Mizuki and Uchiha Juntama. They are like two sophisticated machines that can spend tens of thousands of years maintaining a certain goal.

"Great people do great things, but I just want to live a peaceful life."

Yakumo sighed inwardly, took a step forward, and reappeared in the bedroom, while it was the dead of night outside.

Masako Mori was sitting on the grass meditating and cultivating Sage Mode. According to her plan, the next step was to extend the duration of Sage Mode as much as possible so that it could last for 24 hours.

The moment Yakumo appeared, Masako Mori sensed his presence and instantly teleported to his side, her face beaming with joy.

"You're back? Your seclusion is over?"

“That’s right.” Yakumo nodded.

"Your strength has improved significantly again."

Yakumo embraced Masako Mori and said with a smile, his hands starting to wander... Masako Mori responded enthusiastically to Yakumo.

Silent all night.

The following day, Yakumo went to the Uchiha clan. He intended to test Itachi Uchiha's current strength, since it was the biggest trump card he would leave for Konoha when he left the ninja world.

The Uchiha clan's territory has expanded its area several times in recent years, and it has also purchased the land deeds of two nearby blocks, incorporating them into the Uchiha clan's territory and turning it into a village within a village.

When Yakumo appeared, it was breakfast time, and smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household. The streets were filled with the aroma of all kinds of delicious food.

No longer limited to the food that already existed in Konoha, but with the flavors of food from various countries, it is clear that the Uchiha clan has recruited many top chefs from various countries in the ninja world during this period.

Besides its main clan, the Uchiha clan also includes many smaller, protected groups, such as gardeners responsible for forging ninja tools, making clothes, managing construction and food, and pruning plants within the clan...

These professions are all handled by specialized personnel, and the Uchiha clan, in turn, needs to provide them with protection and relatively high commissions.

It's like a custom-made version for the ninja world.

Yakumo used the surrounding energy to influence the vision of pedestrians, and arrived at the door of Uchiha Fugaku's house without any obstacles.

Although the buildings here are still ancient, there are obvious signs of renovation. The buildings have become taller, and two stone lion sculptures have been added in front of the gate, making them look quite majestic.

Yakumo glanced at the newly painted red gate, then used his spatial teleportation skill to cross several meters and appear in the courtyard, releasing himself from control of the surrounding energy.

Inside the study, Fugaku Uchiha, who was processing documents, immediately looked up upon sensing the unfamiliar atmosphere in the courtyard. He threw down his pen, and the burst of chakra created a whirlwind that sent the surrounding documents flying.

Fugaku Uchiha had already vanished from his spot, his black form flashing continuously. His Body Flicker Technique was executed with unparalleled skill, and a hint of anger unconsciously surfaced on his face.

Arriving uninvited and barging into the courtyard... must be hostile!

Swish.

Fugaku Uchiha appeared in the courtyard. The moment he saw who it was, his anger vanished and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Oh dear, Lord Yakumo is coming... Why didn't you give us a heads-up?"

“I plan to tutor Itachi. He should have the time, right?” Yakumo said.

"of course."

Logically, Itachi Uchiha, as the future of the Uchiha clan and gradually taking over the clan's power, should have been extremely busy. However, Fugaku Uchiha was well aware of this...

Nothing is more important than Lord Yakumo!

"I'll send someone to call him back right away."

"No, no, no, I'll go myself!"

Fugaku Uchiha immediately created a shadow clone and left the courtyard, while his main body led Yakumo to the rattan chair and ordered someone to bring over some snacks.

Upon closer inspection, Yakumo realized that the rattan chairs were almost identical to those in his own home, suggesting that Fugaku Uchiha must have put in a lot of effort to acquire them.

Before long, the servants brought out desserts and black tea. Yakumo ate the carefully prepared snacks while listening to Uchiha Fugaku explain how to use the land deeds of the three major districts.

Three of these shops, located relatively close to the center, are where Fugaku Uchiha plans to introduce Yakumo's hot pot restaurant, using them as a brand to reap money from the other major hidden villages.

In response, Yakumo simply waved his hand.

“I trust you with these matters, and I don’t intend to get involved. You should know that I’m not interested in things like income.”

"clear."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded hurriedly, his tone extremely humble. For some reason, he felt a deep fear when facing Yakumo today and dared not put up any resistance.

This feeling is like a mouse encountering an old cat.

Yakumo immediately sensed Fugaku Uchiha's emotions and quickly restrained his own unconsciously scattered will.

During this period, his will was tempered by the strength of the past, which directly resulted in him being less adept at controlling his movements than before, and sometimes even causing his will to scatter outwards with each movement.

"By the way, has Itachi Uchiha been having any troubles lately?" Yakumo asked.

"No, he's been busy getting used to the Uchiha clan's management lately, preparing to become the clan leader in the future."

Fugaku Uchiha replied that he originally hoped Itachi Uchiha would become Hokage and use his influence to help the Uchiha clan become the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, thus achieving the goal of bringing glory to the clan.

But now that the Uchiha clan is the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, there is no need for a roundabout way to achieve our goal. The right way is to directly take over the power of the Uchiha clan and smoothly assume the position of clan leader.

Upon hearing this, Yakumo gently shook his head.

"Too many trivial matters will only waste Itachi's talent. The strength to sweep away everything is more important than the power in his hands. Otherwise... how will the Uchiha clan maintain its title as the strongest ninja clan?"

"What do you mean, Lord Yakumo?" Fugaku Uchiha asked. He felt that the Uchiha clan's position as the strongest ninja clan was unshakeable, and the income from the three major districts was enough to make the Uchiha clan truly financially independent.

At that time... we will be able to carry out all sorts of reforms at will.

Continue... to help the Uchiha clan become stronger.

“You must understand… Senju Nawaki has only temporarily lost his Wood Release and the strength that once swept through Konoha. It doesn’t mean he won’t recover in the future. The Uchiha clan needs a strong person who can stop him, not to let trivial matters affect the growth of this strong person,” Yakumo said.

Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned thoughtful. After investigation... Nawaki Senju had indeed lost his great strength, but that didn't mean he wouldn't recover it.

"Lord Yakumo... I understand. I will make sure Itachi trains well."

Fugaku Uchiha immediately made a judgment: as for the position of clan leader, he still had a very useless youngest son...

"Sasuke, I can't let you continue to slack off."

Chapter 470 Teaching Uchiha Itachi

About ten minutes had passed.

Uchiha Itachi returned from outside, dressed entirely in black with gold thread patterns on the cuffs. He stood tall and exuded an air of authority, but the warm smile on his face was much less pronounced.

He has changed a lot.

In terms of temperament, he is more like Uchiha Fugaku.

However, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes that was very well concealed. It was a very faint sadness, but it was also very pure, as if he was saddened by something, but he was trying his best to hide it in order to consider the feelings of others.

When Itachi Uchiha saw Yakumo, although he smiled, the sadness between his brows did not disappear at all.

"Master, Father," Itachi Uchiha bowed to the two.

"I just spoke with your father. From now on, you don't need to take over anything related to the Uchiha clan. Just do what you like wholeheartedly."

Upon hearing Yakumo's words, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face, but these emotions quickly dissipated. He cautiously looked at Fugaku Uchiha as if testing the waters.

"Really? Father?" Itachi Uchiha asked.

"It's true, Sasuke will take over the affairs of the Uchiha clan from now on."
