Chapter 353: The Long-Awaited System
Chapter 353: The Long-Awaited System
[Ding!]
The long-awaited alert from the system sounded in Yuyi Xuan Yue's mind.
Well, it hasn't really been that long.
Yuyi Xuan Yue recalled that the last time the system issued a task was during the pursuit of Orochimaru.
Before that, he had completed the highly anticipated S-rank mission and, upon his return, skipped some unnecessary side quests, fast-forwarding to the period of Sasuke's betrayal.
Yuyi didn't pay much attention to the specifics of the missions, as Sasuke was right by his side at the time. With a casual snap of his fingers, the task was completed.
And so, with that reminder, the story of Naruto came to a close.
Next up was the era of Naruto Shippuden.
In terms of timeline, there was a gap of two and a half years between the two parts of the story.
After the pursuit of Orochimaru, Yuyi Xuan Yue quickly embarked on the Bijuu capture mission, the journey to Konoha, the battle at Mount Myoboku, and then to the Outer Path statue extracting the Bijuu, the fleeting Genjutsu World, and finally, the Great Ninja War, culminating in his ascension to the Six Paths.
From the battle at Mount Myoboku to the Great Ninja War.
According to the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto hadn't even passed the first seven days of mourning.
Adding in the events that had transpired beforehand, it had barely been a month in total.
And now, within this short month, the erratic system had sent a new mission for Naruto Shippuden.
Reflecting on it now, Yuyi could only marvel at the system's efficiency.
"But, is it really possible that the system hasn't noticed that we've traveled to another world?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue muttered to himself as he glanced at the new mission details presented by the system.
[Ding!]
[Naruto Shippuden has arrived! A new era unfolds!]
[Please continue your hard work, host, and create new splendors!]
[Main Mission: A Long-Awaited Reunion!]
[Mission Description: After a brief hiatus of two and a half years, Naruto returns to Konoha, and Team 7 reunites once more. Under the instructions of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, another bell test awaits you. However, this time, there are no bells, only the full might of a Konoha Jonin, Kakashi Hatake. Please work together with Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura to defeat Kakashi Hatake!]
[Mission Rewards: Standard Jonin-level chakra; Proficiency in Lightning-style chakra nature and shape transformation; Diluted Ootsutsuki Clan Bloodline]
"Oh?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue had his suspicions about the first mission of Naruto Shippuden, and he wasn't surprised.
However, the mission rewards took him completely off guard.
Ignoring the first two rewards, Yuyi's eyes fell on the last one.
Ootsutsuki Clan Bloodline.
Not the Ashura or Indra bloodline, nor the bloodline of Hagoromo Ootsutsuki.
But the true and authentic bloodline of the Ootsutsuki clan from space.
Although the bloodline was diluted.
And although most pure-blooded members of the Ootsutsuki clan would not be Yuyi's opponents.
Nevertheless!
Yuyi Xuan Yue saw this as an opportunity to further enhance his strength.
Currently, the system was only rewarding a diluted Ootsutsuki bloodline.
But what if he continued to the very end? Would he be rewarded with a complete Ootsutsuki bloodline?
Unlike Kaguya Ootsutsuki.
After Yuyi Xuan Yue's ascension to the Six Paths level, more chakra only served as a supplement to his power.
He had already reached his pinnacle.
Unlike Kaguya, who needed to consume the Chakra Fruit and harness the chakra of an entire planet to attain her peak power.
Thus, she required the Infinite Tsukuyomi of the Rinne Sharingan to harvest the planet's chakra.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, on the other hand, had no need to harvest chakra anymore.
But the question of how to further increase his strength remained a challenge for the future.
But this method would absorb the chakra of all living beings on the planet, ultimately leading to the extinction of all life.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, in his pursuit of the Six Paths level, had indeed disposed of many people.
Yet, he couldn't bring himself to be as ruthless as the Otsutsuki, who would blink an eye at dooming an entire planet and its billions of inhabitants.
In a twisted way, Kaguya Otsutsuki had inadvertently done the Earth a favor.
Speaking of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the rebellious and defiant woman, there was another option to consider.
And that was to follow in her footsteps and make a last-minute intervention at a critical moment.
After all, the Chakra Fruit also varied in quality.
A young and healthy member of the Otsutsuki clan would make for a more suitable sacrifice for the Divine Tree.
However...
After consuming the complete Chakra Fruit, Kaguya Otsutsuki had attained an immortal body, which the Divine Tree couldn't devour. As for the Sage of Six Paths, he was already dead, and in his current chakra form, even if the Divine Tree consumed him, it wouldn't be very effective, and it was highly unlikely to bear fruit.
The two Otsutsuki members who would arrive in the future were ideal candidates.
But that was still over a decade away.
Yuyi Xuan Yue could keep them in mind as a backup plan.
For now...
With the likelihood of two Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths locked in a stalemate outside, the system, which had shown him this opportunity, was naturally the preferred choice.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had already reached the pinnacle of talent and aptitude, becoming the first non-Otsutsuki to attain the Six Paths level.
Now, it was time to focus on bloodlines and physique.
The title of "Eye Legend" bestowed upon the Hokage ultimately stemmed from their bloodline.
While the Yuyi bloodline was extraordinary and could be traced back to the Otsutsuki lineage, it still paled in comparison to the true Otsutsuki bloodline, where almost anyone could become a Six Paths-level existence with its empowerment.
If he could receive the full support of the Otsutsuki bloodline, his strength would undoubtedly rise to even greater heights.
Yuyi Xuan Yue sincerely praised the system:
"I have to admit, this system is indeed very useful!"
With that, he set out to complete the mission!
As for Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths, if they hadn't determined a winner by now, they were most likely still locked in some form of stalemate.
Yuyi Xuan Yue saw no urgency in seeking them out.
His own development and future took precedence.
"Tsunade, do you know Kakashi's current situation?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue turned his head and asked Tsunade, who was beside him in a drunken stupor.
Tsunade lazily replied, "Kakashi? Is he famous?"
'You don't even know your future successor?' Yuyi Xuan Yue thought to himself.
Aloud, he continued, "Hatake Kakashi."
"Hatake? So he's Sakumo's son, huh. Don't know! Don't care!" Tsunade turned away, presenting the back of her head to Yuyi Xuan Yue.
She was well aware of Sakumo's situation, and because of that, she was even more reluctant to return to Konoha.
"Forget it, I'll just make a trip to Konoha," Yuyi Xuan Yue said, shaking his head at Tsunade's attitude. A shadow quietly detached itself from behind him, taking on his form, and headed toward Konoha.
At the same time.
Naruto, having bid farewell to Sara, was also rushing toward Konoha with all speed, day and night.
"I must! I must warn everyone!"
