Chapter 54: A New Mission
Chapter 54: A New Mission
[Ding!]
Mission being issued...
Main Mission: Become the Boss of the Truant Four
Mission Description: The path to reversal in the Ninja Academy has begun. Although the host has defeated Uzumaki Naruto, the attention of the teachers and classmates remains elsewhere. Merely defeating the dead-last student is not enough. The host has decided to set their sights on the Truant Four: Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Uzumaki Naruto (completed), and Inuzuka Kiba. Defeat these four, elevate your path to reversal in the Ninja Academy, and strive to dominate the school!
Mission Hint: This is a main mission that cannot be refused or avoided.
[Ding! Ding!]
Another mission is being issued...
Side Mission: Childhood Sweetheart
Mission Description: No school life is complete without a touch of romance. It's one thing for Uchiha Sasuke to be adored by many female classmates, but even the dead-last student, Uzumaki Naruto, has managed to capture the affections of Hyuga Hinata, a noble lady of the Hyuga clan. As the host aspires to become the king of the Ninja Academy, they refuse to lag behind. Choose a female classmate as your love interest. The mission will be complete when a female classmate develops strong romantic feelings for the host.
Side missions are optional and can be accepted or declined. There are no penalties for failure, but success will earn you a reward.
Side Mission Reward: Radiant Complexion Technique (Both men and women value beauty. This technique allows the host to maintain their optimal appearance, unaffected by negative factors such as white hair, wrinkles, or dirt).
A string of system information flooded Yuyi Xuan Yue's mind.
Currently enjoying a hot spring bath in an inn, Yuyi Xuan Yue abruptly pulled the bath towel off their face, opened their eyes, and gazed at the white mist that enveloped the room. Raising an eyebrow, they said, "I was just thinking about the system's silence and whether it would continue to play dead. I didn't expect it to come alive with not one but two missions."
Yuyi Xuan Yue scanned the details of the first mission in their mind.
There was nothing unusual about the first main mission.
Now that they were on the path to dominating the Ninja Academy and had defeated Uzumaki Naruto, it was only natural to aim higher and take down a few of the Leaf's Twelve Ninjas.
However, the other side mission was a different story.
"There's a reward for completing it, and no consequences for failure," Yuyi Xuan Yue mused. "It seems quite interesting. But the content..."
The thought of engaging in emotional exchanges with a ten-year-old girl made Yuyi Xuan Yue cringe. "What were you thinking, system?"
Feeling too embarrassed to even consider it, Yuyi Xuan Yue was about to refuse the mission outright. But then they noticed something that gave them pause: the side mission had already revealed the reward, and it was a technique related to maintaining one's appearance.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, who had always been particular about their appearance, found their eyes sparkling at the prospect. "Hmm... Unlike the main mission, the side mission has disclosed the reward upfront. There must be a reason behind this."
"Anyway, there are no repercussions for failure. Might as well give it a shot and see what happens."
With a straight face, Yuyi Xuan Yue filed away the details of the side mission in their mind and then stood up.
Splash! The scorching hot spring water slid off their body, which boasted golden proportions.
However, as the white mist cleared, a closer look revealed imperfections on what should have been a flawless body.
The most severe injury was on their chest, a dent deep enough to accommodate half a fist.
Such wounds would have been fatal to an ordinary person.
The fact that Yuyi Xuan Yue could move around freely and even engage in intense activities earlier was a testament to their robust physique and the use of secret techniques to suppress the severity of their injuries.
But this was only a temporary solution.
Yuyi Xuan Yue inspected their body.
During this period of recuperation, while the surface wounds had healed, their flesh and blood were still regenerating.
Due to the forbidden technique, Eternal Slumber's Breath, preserving his life, these traces of Senjutsu Chakra, which should have been removable, had now fused with his flesh and blood for decades, like an obstinate bone tumor that was extremely difficult to eradicate.
"Senjutsu..."
Yuyi Xuan Yue touched the most prominent wound on his chest and recalled the image of Senju Hashirama descending with an unbeatable aura, his feet resting on a giant Buddha, while in Sage Mode.
Yuyi was well aware of the might of Senjutsu.
During the Warring States period, he had also specifically sought out the Three Great Sacred Sites.
However, either their locations were too well-hidden or fate had not yet intervened, as he had never been able to grasp the essence of Senjutsu.
As for creating a Senjutsu that was distinct from the chakra system, without any other Senjutsu as a reference, the difficulty was comparable to perfecting the Blood Limit Net.
With his primary focus on the Blood Limit Net, Yuyi lacked the time and energy to pioneer Senjutsu from scratch.
If it were that easy, in a millennium, there wouldn't have only been Senjutsu in the Three Saints, and it wouldn't have been the kind that humans couldn't use.
Additionally, it seemed that one needed a certain aptitude to learn Senjutsu, and only a select few were qualified.
In the Warring States era, as far as Yuyi knew, Senju Hashirama was the only one who could use Senjutsu.
Not to mention that Senju Hashirama himself had created Senjutsu.
This guy was strong because he had the foundation of an Ashura reincarnation and had also activated Wood Release, a bloodline limit.
Create Senjutsu? Even people like himself, Senju Tobirama, and Orochimaru hadn't achieved that.
Yuyi Xuan Yue would never believe that the iron blockhead Senju Hashirama had created Senjutsu himself.
The most likely scenario was that he had learned it from Shikkotsu Forest.
In the decades following the Warring States period, Yuyi Xuan Yue knew of only two people who could use Senjutsu: the half-baked Jiraiya, and later, Uzumaki Naruto and Orochimaru.
Namikaze Minato also knew Senjutsu, but before he died, his skill in it wasn't proficient enough to be useful.
By this calculation, very few humans had truly mastered Senjutsu in a millennium.
Yuyi Xuan Yue was unsure if he would ever have the opportunity to learn Senjutsu.
As for the three old guys from the Three Great Sacred Sites who had lived for a thousand years, witnessing the slaughter between Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his daughter, and then coldly observing Infinite Tsukuyomi without intervening, only offering guidance like they did with Hagoromi Otsutsuki—Yuyi held a great deal of wariness towards them.
Rather than forcibly taking it, he thought it would be better to try and obtain it through the system later on.
However, Yuyi Xuan Yue, who was currently unaware of the details of Senjutsu, wanted to completely eradicate the stubborn and highly destructive traces of Senju Hashirama's Senjutsu Chakra from his body, and that was no easy task with just normal recuperation.
"Perhaps I should look for medical ninjutsu information," Yuyi Xuan Yue said as he put on his bathrobe and pondered.
Thanks to Tsunade's establishment of the Konoha medical system, which was then emulated by other major hidden villages, the world of ninjas now had a much richer array of medical ninjutsu compared to the Warring States era or the early days of the hidden villages.
Even Orochimaru, whose hands were sealed by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, had great faith in Tsunade's ability to heal his injuries, which spoke volumes about the advancements in medical ninjutsu.
Times were always changing.
Just as technology evolved, so too did ninjutsu.
There was never a case of the past being superior to the present.
Sharing this belief, Yuyi Xuan Yue left the hot spring room, his mind already formulating plans.
