Konoha's Mission Master

Gold coins: 0.

Chakra level...350...360...380

400…500…finally 536.4!

A dozen seconds later, the chakra surge subsided, and Yakumo showed a satisfied expression as he felt the chakra within his body nearly double.

He immediately suppressed his chakra fluctuations and quickly stealthily moved towards the battlefield. If he could kill the enemy Kage-level enemy in one fell swoop, he might be able to end the battle sooner.

The distant battle attracted 90% of the high-ranking members of Kusagakure, which also caused all sorts of hidden monsters and demons in Kusagakure to emerge.

The common people kept their doors and windows tightly shut, praying for the protection of the Sage of Six Paths, while the villains tore off their usual hypocritical masks and began burning, killing, and looting. In the distance, some people smashed the doors and windows of shops and began to rob them of their money.

The entire Kusagakure village was in complete chaos.

"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."

Yakumo spoke softly, "After darkness comes light, after destruction comes hope. This is destruction... but also rebirth... Evil people should be buried in the darkness, the light of rebirth does not belong to them."

Yakumo formed hand seals, his expression serene.

"mercy."

With a wave of his hand, a dozen transparent water droplets disappeared into the night.

Within a hundred meters, the perpetrators stopped moving almost simultaneously, like puppets whose springs had been unwound, and then their bodies collapsed limply to the ground.

"Thank you……"

Suddenly someone shouted at Yakumo's back.

Yakumo didn't stop, continuing to stealthily move towards the battlefield, scattering transparent water droplets along the way to reap the lives of the wicked.

On the other hand, Rina Uzumaki was in a bad situation, with Jiraiya drawing away most of the Kusagakure forces.

The Iwagakure ANBU squad, lurking in Kusagakure, began their planned operation to capture Rina Uzumaki. She was a member of the Uzumaki clan, and the Uzumaki clan was widely recognized in the ninja world as the best candidates for Jinchuriki... of the Tailed Beasts.

The medical ninja responsible for monitoring Rina Uzumaki had already been quickly eliminated by the Iwagakure ANBU, and now they were reaching out to the trembling Rina Uzumaki.

Suddenly, Rina Uzumaki raised her head, her expression no longer fearful. She sensed that familiar chakra fluctuation approaching at an alarming speed.

At the same time, Yakumo's shadow clone flung out sixteen transparent water droplets, which merged into the night.

The Iwagakure ANBU subconsciously followed Rina Uzumaki's gaze and saw a figure wearing a monkey mask.

The next moment, transparent water droplets pierced the skull, blood splattered out, and fell to the ground like four blood-red flowers blooming.

At the critical moment, the leader of the Iwagakure Jonin instinctively dodged the water droplet attack and retreated a few steps... keeping a wary eye on Yakumo.

The bizarre and unpredictable methods, the terrifying speed, and the extremely powerful chakra pressure made the Iwagakure Jonin want to retreat.

Yakumo's shadow clone arrived in front of Rina Uzumaki in an instant, completely ignoring the Iwagakure Jonin beside her.

"Have you packed your things?"

“I don’t have much to pack,” Rina Uzumaki replied. “You can leave anytime.”

"Let's go then." Yakumo's shadow clone squatted down and carried Rina Uzumaki on his back. The Iwagakure Jonin next to him hesitated for a moment but finally chose to give up and turned to flee into the distance.

"The plan almost went wrong."

The shadow clone spoke in a low voice. After all, it was just a shadow clone. If the Jonin of Iwagakure was willing to fight desperately, there might be a chance to win... but he made an extremely wrong decision.

Transparent water droplets gather and linger at your fingertips…

Gathering strength.

"You came just in time... thank you."

Rina Uzumaki whispered in Yakumo's ear, her cheeks flushing crimson at a visible speed.

"No, you're welcome."

The next second, the water droplet popped out and disappeared into the night, like an arrow shot from a bow, flying swiftly toward the bullseye.

"mercy."

"what?"

Rina Uzumaki raised her head and followed Yakumo's gaze to the Iwagakure Jonin in the distance.

The Jonin from Iwagakure, who was some distance away, turned to look at the mysterious man from before. His face was filled with the relief of surviving a close call.

next second.

*Pfft...* A drop of water pierced his chest, and blood splattered onto the ground behind him, like the blooming of a fifth crimson flower. His body collapsed limply.

Yakumo withdrew his gaze, carried Rina Uzumaki on his back, and quickly rushed out of the village. Some people tried to stop him but were killed instantly by the transparent water droplets that Yakumo threw.

The miracle called life quickly vanished under Yakumo's hands; killing was never something to bring joy.

He didn't leave Kusagakure with Rina Uzumaki, but instead approached his main body's location at an extremely fast speed...

In the end, the two hid on a small hill a few kilometers away from the center of the battle, quietly overlooking the battlefield.

At the same time, Yakumo's shadow clone placed Rina Uzumaki on the ground and then spoke.

"My main body is rushing to the battlefield. I need to wait for the battle there to end before I can bring you and my main body together."

"Yes, no problem, I'm very patient."

Rina Uzumaki nodded quickly, but her eyes were spinning rapidly as she tried to find a gap in the mask to see the face hidden beneath Yakumo's mask.

On the other hand, Yakumo's true form arrived at the battlefield.

Inside the gray barrier, Jiraiya's situation is not good...

The gray dust created by Matsushita Shiranui, if inhaled, not only affects the speed of bodily reactions, but also dissolves chakra.

Jiraiya initially chose to hold his breath, but he was astonished to find that the gray dust could penetrate his skin, making it incredibly difficult to deal with.

"Secret Technique: Hozuki Explosion Kill!"

Matsushita Shiranui quickly formed hand seals, opened her mouth and spat out a large amount of gray powder, rapidly approaching Jiraiya.

The next moment... the floating gray powder exploded, and Jiraiya was hit by the shockwave. He staggered back a few steps, spitting out another mouthful of blood. There was also a very deep, bone-revealing knife wound on his back.

As for Kusagakure... Research Director Mokusai Yuuto... has already been killed in action, and there are not a single Jonin or Chunin left.

The knife scar on Jiraiya's back was left by Mokusai Yujin before his death, and Mokusai Yujin was strung together like candied hawthorns by Fukasaku Sage's tongue.

"Cough cough."

Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of blood.

He's in a bad situation right now; his chakra is depleted.

"The old man... is quite formidable."

Jiraiya sighed, then swallowed a few specially made soldier pills. If Matsushita Shiranui hadn't blocked most of his attacks, Sada Sotaro and Matsushita Akira would probably be in the underworld playing mahjong with Mokusai Yujin by now.

“You’re not bad either…” Matsushita Shiranui shook his head, then continued, “It’s a pity you’re so stupid, just lowly commoners… Why do you… risk your life for them!?”

Jiraiya was about to retort when his expression changed slightly.

With a crack, a fissure appeared in the gray barrier.

Matsushita Shiranui quickly formed hand seals, releasing more gray powder that merged into the surrounding gray barrier. Her expression was no longer calm; she seemed to have seen something incredibly surprising, and her expression gradually turned to astonishment and fear.

Jiraiya showed interest. The gray barrier obscured his senses, preventing him from noticing what was happening outside, but he knew he had to seize this opportunity and make a move quickly.

"Immortal Technique: Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya lowered his hands to the ground and quickly flung out hundreds and thousands of black senbon needles, like dense raindrops covering a vast area.

With a whoosh, the stone was easily pierced by the thousand sticks.

"Two immortals, prepare for the toad's impending song."

The two immortals nodded, and the natural energy was gathered anew.

Sada Sotaro dodged the attacks of the black senbon needles by moving left and right, while his hands quickly formed hand seals.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of clay that fell to the ground. The clay quickly piled up and coalesced into a stone wall about three meters high, temporarily blocking Jiraiya's attack.

"Grass Shadow Style: Wind-Breaking Palm!"

On the other hand, Matsushita Akira thrust out his right palm, carrying a powerful gust of wind, towards Jiraiya, intending to buy time for Matsushita Shiranui.

Jiraiya suddenly laughed…

He used the needle-shaped Jizo statue to block Matsushita Akira's attack.

*Pfft...* Matsushita Shiranui spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face turned somewhat ashen.

With a loud bang, the gray barrier shattered.

A black-clad man wearing a monkey mask suddenly burst onto the battlefield, unleashing a terrifying surge of chakra.

"Waltz!"

Yakumo gave a soft shout and swiftly swung his twin blades in a slashing attack.

With his right hand, he unleashed a dazzling, silvery-white blade aura, while with his left hand, he flicked out a pitch-black, demonic blade aura. The two opposing energies rapidly fused and mixed together.

Eventually, a black and white circular millstone was formed on the ground, filled with a chilling atmosphere, twisting and turning everything around it.

The blade flashed like a waterfall, exuding a chilling aura.

In an instant…

It seemed as if only the scene of two blades dancing in unison remained in the world.

Yakumo's location was clever; he entered right between Sada Sotaro and Matsushita Akira.

He swiftly swung his swords, the blade light converging like the midnight sun, forming a perfectly round, black and white disc.

The Yin-Yang millstone swept down, with two arcs of electricity, one silver and one black, rapidly interacting and engulfing the two people in an instant.

"Hahahaha..." Jiraiya laughed a few times.

Quickly form hand seals.

With a loud bang, the giant toad Gamabunta appeared.
