Chapter 69: I Will Definitely Get You Back from Yuyi Xuan Yue!
Chapter 69: I Will Definitely Get You Back from Yuyi Xuan Yue!
"Is this the Valley of Divine Meteorite?"
With the help of Kisame buying some time, Sasuke, unhindered by any more surprises along the way, rushed to the Valley of the Divine Meteorite without delay and soon arrived at his destination.
Looking at the place rumored to have been carved out of a plain by the gods, Sasuke's heart felt a twinge of apprehension.
Back then, when Yuyi Xuan Yue mentioned this place, it was a glimmer of hope in what seemed like a hopeless situation for him. But what about Yuyi Xuan Yue himself?
Would he even care about this offer?
Would Sasuke's all-or-nothing gamble pay off?
Sasuke clenched his fists and scanned the valley, soon locking his gaze on the top of the "Senju Hashirama" statue.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, grateful that things hadn't taken a turn for the worse.
With a few agile leaps, Sasuke, who made those rock-climbing masters from his previous life seem amateurish, swiftly reached the top of the "Senju Hashirama" statue. There, he beheld the back of a man who seemed to carry even more pressure than the last time they met.
Remembering the lesson he had been taught, Sasuke spoke with a rare tone of respect: "As you can see, I have arrived."
Yuyi Xuan Yue turned around and nodded calmly, "Your determination is commendable."
Not everyone has the guts to become a missing-nin.
Though driven by hatred, this resolve to abandon everything deserves recognition.
If Yuyi Xuan Yue had initially thought of this as a casual affair, now that Sasuke was here, he didn't mind taking him under his wing.
After all, he had no interest in Sasuke's body.
At worst, Sasuke wouldn't end up like Orochimaru.
And there was a greater chance of a more favorable outcome.
As the reincarnation of Indra, Sasuke's value would surely outweigh the price paid.
Of course, as a precaution, Yuyi Xuan Yue would give Sasuke an unexpected bond.
"Do you need to bid farewell to your partner?" Yuyi Xuan Yue asked, glancing in the direction from which Sasuke had come.
As soon as he finished speaking, loud shouts rang out from that direction.
"Sasuke! Sasuke!"
Sasuke turned his head and saw Naruto's eye-catching yellow figure rushing towards them at full speed.
"No need," Sasuke replied calmly, "The make-believe ninja game ends here."
"Game?" Yuyi Xuan Yue said indifferently, "This world is but a game itself."
With that, he placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Then, let's go."
A gust of wind blew, and amidst the swirling leaves, the figures of Yuyi Xuan Yue and Sasuke vanished swiftly.
Naruto, who had just rushed into the valley, looked up and saw only the last glimpse of Sasuke and Yuyi Xuan Yue disappearing.
He stretched out his hand helplessly, but it was all in vain. Finally, he shouted with all his might, "Sasuke!!!"
"I will definitely get you back from Yuyi Xuan Yue!!!"
The loud shout echoed throughout the Valley of Divine Ruins.
"Am I too late again?"
Kakashi, who had arrived a few seconds later, sighed softly as he watched Naruto shout with a mixture of sadness and determination.
Although he understood the deep-seated vengeance that Sasuke carried, he hadn't expected him to be so resolute.
"From what Naruto said, Sasuke has followed Yuyi Xuan Yue. It seems our intelligence was correct after all."
"Yuyi Xuan Yue..."
This guy was even more troublesome than Uchiha Itachi.
Kakashi furrowed his brows as he recalled the image of Yuyi Xuan Yue effortlessly breaking through his Chidori the last time they met.
Troubles just kept piling up.
"Sand Waterfall Flow!"
A violent wave of sand surged from underground, instantly turning the hundred-meter radius forest into a desert.
With Gaara's attack, the smoky battlefield was nearing its end.
The combination of the Twelve Ninja Guardians, the new Sand Ninja, and the Jinchuriki of Ichibi, even with the Sound Ninja Four in their cursed seal state, was too much for them. They were driven back relentlessly, and now only a few were still standing.
With his chakra reserves nearly depleted, Shikamaru Nara made no move to stop him. As far as he was concerned, what was about to happen was a foregone conclusion.
However, the very next moment, something unexpected happened.
The two-headed wolf that Kiba had transformed into was suddenly sent flying back in a disheveled state. With a 'bang', smoke billowed out as the secret technique was forcibly dispersed, revealing Kiba and Akamaru's unconscious bodies to everyone present.
"How is this possible?"
Shikamaru's pupils contracted sharply, and just as he was about to say something, a black shadow rushed over at incredible speed and punched him, sending him flying.
"Zaku?" Shikamaru recognized the attacker just before losing consciousness, his face filled with confusion.
Why did this person, who seemed to be on his last legs, suddenly exhibit such incredible speed?
"Zaku" had no interest in explaining. He kicked the weakened Choji towards Gaara and, hearing the ding of a completed mission in his mind, didn't linger any longer. He quickly rushed out of the forest.
Bang.
The shadow clone disappeared, and the real Zaku, who had been nearby, woke up just then.
He looked around in confusion, unsure how he had gotten there.
But when he realized that he had somehow escaped, he didn't think twice and didn't even consider that his brother, Dosu, was still on the battlefield. He chose to flee without hesitation.
However, he hadn't run far when he heard the clear sound of a wind chime.
"My luck is indeed quite good today; another prey has come knocking."
Kisame Hoshigaki looked up and saw Zaku running towards him in a panic. He smiled in satisfaction.
The one who had just knocked out Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji with clear intent was, of course, Yuyi Xuan Yue.
To be precise, it was his shadow clone.
Although he had been striking a pose on top of the statue's head in the Valley of Divine Meteorite, Yuyi Xuan Yue hadn't forgotten about the new mission issued by the system.
For this reason, he had specifically dispatched a shadow clone, which resulted in the previous actions.
As for why he disguised himself as Zaku.
Aside from the fact that the original Zaku had fainted right next to him.
He didn't want the ninja world to buzz tomorrow about how the illustrious Yuyi Xuan Yue had resorted to dealing with three brats who hadn't even grown their hairs yet.
The plan was executed smoothly.
As Yuyi Xuan Yue was on his way with Sasuke, he reviewed the memories transmitted by his shadow clone and then turned his attention to the system.
[Ding!]
[Main Mission: Become the Boss of the Skipping Class Quartet (Completed)]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully defeating the Skipping Class Quartet and taking a big step towards dominating the Ninja School.]
[Mission Rewards: Standard Chunin-level Chakra; Konoha-style Sword Technique - Dance of the Crescent Moon]
This time, the mission rewards were not as bizarre as before.
Yuyi Xuan Yue felt a stream of chakra, slightly more substantial than a genin-level, flowing into his body. He also noticed the Konoha-style sword technique, Dance of the Crescent Moon, imprinted in his mind, ready for use at any time. He nodded slightly.
To be fair, if one were to follow the system's standards, the rewards he had just received would indeed significantly enhance his strength, given that he was supposed to still be in the Ninja Academy.
But having lived through these decades already, Yuyi Xuan Yue found these early game rewards from the system rather underwhelming.
All he could do now was accelerate the process.
"System, are there any new main missions?" Yuyi Xuan Yue asked.
This time, the system was quite accommodating.
Soon.
The sound of [Ding] rang in his mind once again.
