Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Raising one's rank is indeed not that easy."

Yoruichi Yagami sighed inwardly, but she wasn't too disappointed.

There is more than one path for Yagami Yoruichi to break through to the 'Six Paths Level'.

Whether it's a system cheat or methods from the ninja world, there are many possibilities to reach the Six Paths level.

Yoruichi Yagami is still young and has plenty of time to learn through trial and error.

It would certainly be a good thing to break through a day earlier.

Even if she's stuck at this stat, Yoruichi Yagami's strength won't stop improving.

At least not in the short term.

With so many hero templates, not all of them are useful, but the abilities possessed by those heroes who are already of extremely high rank are enough for Yagami Yoruichi to study for a long time.

Not to mention the 'minion summoning' function, which Yagami Yoruichi hasn't tried yet.

Previously, in order to improve her strength, she had to spend her gold coins wisely, and Yagami Yoruichi had never used the [Minion Summoning] function after it was enabled.

However, now that Yagami Yoruichi has millions of gold coins in hand, he can take out some gold coins to try things out without any pressure.

After pondering for a moment and confirming that there were no important matters requiring her personal attention recently, Yagami Yoruichi opened the [Servant Summoning] interface and began searching.

To summon a minion, you must first complete the corresponding hero's quest.

Yoruichi Yagami hasn't tried the specific mission yet, but she guesses it will be different for each hero.

Based on one's own capabilities, one should definitely prioritize those that are of great help to oneself, but not more so than oneself.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the list for a moment, then focused her gaze on the several servants at the [Divine Messenger] level.

Nasus, the Desert Reaper; Renekton, the Desert Butcher; Naafiel, the Hundred-Cracked Hound; Galio, the Colossus of Justice; Malphite, the Lava Giant; Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void; Maokai, the Twisted Treant; and Ivern, the Green God.

There are eight heroes in total.

Yagami Yoruichi hesitated for a moment before turning her gaze to 'Ivern'.

Of the five dungeons in the [World Runes] questline, the Ionia dungeon requires you to clear it using only the power of Ionia heroes.

Ivern, the Green God, is one of only five 'divine messenger' heroes in the Ionian universe.

He is also the only Ionian god-level hero who can serve as a [minion].

The remaining four can only be redeemed for the corresponding hero templates.

Yagami Yoruichi tapped Ivern's portrait with her consciousness, and a system notification popped up.

[Pay 6300 gold to start the servant summoning quest 'Ivern'? Hint: After completing the quest, 'Ivern' will become your servant and fight for you. If the quest fails, the activation fee is non-refundable, but you can pay the gold again to try the quest once more.]

If Yagami Yoruichi chooses yes, the gold coins will be deducted immediately.

At the moment he made his choice, a deep, ancient voice rang in Yagami Yoruichi's ear: "Take good care of this forest; it is my mission!"

A system prompt followed immediately.

[Minion Summoning Quest 'Ivern': Provide Ivern with a forest that pleases him, allowing him to live and reside there.]

[Note: This forest needs a perfect and harmonious natural environment, and it must have sufficiently lush life.]

If the forest pleases Ivern, it will become his dwelling place.

Upon seeing this mission, Yoruichi Yagami was momentarily stunned.

forest?

How big is the forest?

It also needs to possess abundant vitality?

For the residence of Ai Weng...

Yagami Yoichi glanced at the mission; there was no time limit.

As long as you don't submit it yourself, you can keep waiting.

However, if the designated forest fails to satisfy Ivern after the quest is submitted, the quest will fail, meaning 6300 gold coins will be wasted.

In the past, Yagami Yoruichi would definitely have submitted the mission only after she was absolutely certain of her success.

However, for Yagami Yoruichi, a mere 6300 gold coins is nothing. Even if she fails, it won't be a waste as long as she can test the conditions for the servant summoning quest.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi teleported to the Forest of Death and submitted the quest directly.

[Forest area detected: 10 kilometers in diameter.]

[Forest species richness detected: Medium to High.]

[Forest vitality level detected: Extraordinary.]

Emerald Ivern expressed his dissatisfaction with the forest and refused to live there.

The servant summoning quest 'Ivern' has failed.

Seeing the word "Failure" marked on the task list, Yagami Yoruichi was a little disappointed, but not surprised.

Although the Forest of Death is not small, it is still within Konoha and therefore not considered very large.

It's not surprising that Irwin didn't think much of it.

However, the system automatically made a judgment when submitting the task, which surprised Yoruichi Yagami.

In this way, as long as a suitable area is found, even if the mission fails, the system's judgment will serve as a reference, and Yagami Yoruichi will know which direction to improve.

"Theoretically, if I find a forest that already has a good foundation, and then use Wood Release to continuously expand that forest, I should be able to meet Ivern's requirements. However, this is quite time-consuming..."

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to herself.

Yoruichi Yagami's Zyra version of Wood Release allows the created Wood Release artifacts to exist permanently.

If the chakra is maintained for a long enough time, the Wood Release creation will gradually transform into a real plant.

However, this process takes a considerable amount of time.

Furthermore, Yagami Yoruichi was not entirely clear about the specific standards for the requirement of 'gathering vitality'.

After considering for a while, Yagami Yoruichi looked at the other 'divine messenger-level' servants and prepared to review their mission requirements.

After spending over 40,000 gold coins, Yagami Yoruichi confirmed the mission requirements for all the 'God Messenger-level' servants.

Apart from Ivern, who requires a forest as a habitat, the other seven heroes have different needs.

The dog-headed creature and the crocodile are the only ones who require the same thing: to help them set up an 'ascension ritual' to complete their incomplete ascension power.

However, Yagami Yoruichi was unable to meet the requirements of the ascension ceremony.

Two basic conditions are required to set up an ascension ceremony.

The Shurima treasure, the 'Sun Disc,' is in the hands of the Desert Emperor Azir.

Another method involves using the 'Sun Disc' to draw upon a wisp of the Star Forger Dragon King's power, which, after being transformed by the 'Sun Disc,' becomes the Ascended One's own power.

This world doesn't have a 'Star Forger Dragon King', and even with the Sun Disk, the ascension ritual cannot be completed.

This greatly disappointed Yoruichi Yagami.

Originally, Yoruichi Yagami wanted to ascend to the rank of 'demigod' through the ascension ceremony.

But now we know that the ascension ceremony can only be completed in the world where Aurelion Sol resides.

In a ninja world where the Dragon King doesn't exist, there's absolutely no possibility of advancing to demigod status through this method.

What Nayafili asked for was to reunite his scattered consciousness among the dogs.

Galio wants an endless supply of 'anti-magic stones' as food.

Malphite's task is to offer him the corpse of a powerful Void creature.

Viktor's task was to surpass it in 'knowledge'.

The final twisted tree spirit, Maokai, demands that contractors swear an oath against the Shadow Isles and prove that will by killing a high-ranking member of the Shadow Isles.

The tasks assigned to the heroes are not easy; they are certainly not the kind that can be completed easily.

In all calculations, Ivern, who only requires a sufficiently high-quality forest as his dwelling place, actually has the lowest requirements among all the divine messenger heroes.

After reviewing them all, Yagami Yoruichi did not attempt to submit the tasks, leaving them all on the task list.

Whether I do it or not is another matter; there's no penalty for not completing it anyway.

However, at least in the short term, it is almost impossible to summon a minion with 'super shadow level' strength.

Chapter 224 The First Contracted Servant, and a World-Destroying Weapon?

"Awoo~!"

A childlike roar echoed through the Senju clan's territory.

Seeing the adorable little beast in Yagami Yoruichi's arms, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes lit up with a heart. She reached out to Yagami Yoruichi, wanting to pick up the little creature, but was afraid of scaring it.

“Its name is Smolder, and it’s my summoning beast.” Yoruichi Yagami handed the little dragon to Kurenai Yuhi and said with a smile, “You can hold it too, it’s very well-behaved.”

"What an adorable little guy!" Kurenai picked up Charmander and sat down next to Yoruichi Yagami, her attention completely focused on the little creature in her arms.

"Awoo~!" The little dragon swung its long tail, looking quite lazy.

"Don't let its small size fool you, it's stronger than you are," Yagami Yoruichi said with a chuckle.

After several days of experimentation, Yagami Yoruichi finally completed a hero quest for [Minion Summoning], summoning the little dragon Smolder as her contracted creature.

Unlike the summoning contracts in the ninja world, the two people's consciousness and souls are connected to each other to a certain extent.

However, after imprinting the chakra mark, Yoruichi Yagami can also summon the little dragon to her side using the Summoning Jutsu.

In terms of strength, Charmander's strength is not considered too strong by Yoruichi Yagami.

Still in its infancy, its strength is equivalent to that of a Kage in the ninja world, and it is in a relatively low position within the Kage tier.

But even by today's standards, this level of strength is not considered weak.

It's just that it's not much compared to a monster like Yoruichi Yagami.

But if they grow stronger, they might be able to reach the level of a super-shadow, or even higher.

However, given the long lifespan of dragons, if they were to grow naturally, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years for a young fire dragon to mature.
