Ninja World: I've already fought the Five Kage head-on, and the system is only now showing up.

Chapter 54 New Mission

【Ding! 】

[Task being posted]

Main Quest: Become the leader of the truant quartet.

[Mission Description: The path to revenge at the Ninja Academy has begun. Although the host defeated Naruto Uzumaki, the teachers and classmates still haven't set their sights on the host. Simply defeating the underdog isn't enough; the host has decided to set their sights on the truant four. Defeat Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Naruto Uzumaki (completed), and Kiba Inuzuka to take the path to revenge at the Ninja Academy to the next level, until finally dominating the Ninja Academy!]

[Task Hint: This is a main quest; it cannot be refused or avoided.]

[Ding! Ding!]

Side Quest: Childhood Sweethearts

[Mission Description: What's student life without romance? It's one thing for Uchiha Sasuke to be adored by countless female classmates, but even the underdog Uzumaki Naruto is liked by Hinata, the noblewoman of the Hyuga clan. The host, aspiring to become the king of the ninja academy, is unwilling to be second to anyone and decides to choose a female classmate as his romantic partner. The mission is complete if the female classmate develops strong feelings for the host.]

[Side quests are optional; the host can choose to accept or decline. There is no penalty for failure, and rewards are given for success.]

[Side Quest Reward: Radiant Beauty Technique (Both men and women love beauty. This technique allows the host to maintain their best appearance, unaffected by negative effects such as gray hair, wrinkles, and dirt.)]

A series of system messages flooded my mind.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who was enjoying a hot spring bath at an inn, ripped off the towel covering her face, opened her eyes, looked at the white steam rising from the hot spring around her, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"I was wondering why the system had gone silent, and whether it would just keep playing dead. I didn't expect to get two missions at once."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue reviewed the information in her mind.

The first main quest is nothing special.

Since the path to dominating the ninja academy is to defeat Naruto Uzumaki and then go a step further by defeating several of the Konoha 12, it's only natural that they would do so.

But it's another side quest.

"Completion brings rewards, failure is no big deal, sounds pretty good. But the task content itself..."

How can you connect emotionally with a girl in her early teens?

System, what are you thinking?

Unable to swallow her pride, Yu Yi Xuan Yue instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, when they saw that the final side quest had given out a reward in advance, and that the reward was a ninjutsu technique that was related to appearance, they were surprised.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had always been very particular about her appearance, suddenly had a glint in her eyes.

"Ahem. Unlike the main quest, the side quests reveal their rewards in advance. The deeper meaning behind this is worth pondering."

"Failure won't have much of an impact anyway. Let's see how it goes."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue solemnly put away the side quest in her mind, then stood up.

Wow~

The scalding hot spring water slid rapidly down his perfectly proportioned body.

Only when the white fog dissipates and you look again can you see it.

The body, which should have been flawless, is now riddled with craters.

The most severe injury was to a dent in the chest area, deep enough to be the size of half a fist.

Such injuries would have killed an ordinary person long ago.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was able to walk freely, and even fought a great battle before this. Besides his good physique, he also used a secret technique to forcibly suppress his injuries.

This only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue examined her own body.

During this period of recuperation, although the surface wounds have healed, they are just waiting for the flesh and blood to regrow.

But the deeper injuries are still there.

Especially the Sage Chakra that Hashirama Senju left in his body.

Because the forbidden technique, Breath of Eternal Sleep, preserves life force, these Sage Chakra energies, which should have been removed, have now been fused with the body's flesh and blood for decades, like a malignant tumor, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

"Celestial Arts."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue touched the particularly noticeable injury on her chest, recalling the scene of Hashirama Senju in Sage Mode descending with unparalleled force, stepping on a giant Buddha.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was well aware of the power of immortal techniques.

During the Warring States period, he also made a special trip to find the three sacred sites.

However, whether it was because the latter's location was too hidden or because the time was not right, he had never been able to comprehend the charm of the immortal arts.

As for creating a Sage Art that is different from the chakra system, without any other Sage Art to refer to, the difficulty is not much less than perfecting the Bloodline Limit.

With her primary focus on the Bloodline Limit, Yu Yi Xuan Yue had neither the time nor the energy to create a new Immortal Technique from scratch.

If it were truly so easy, there wouldn't have been only three generations of holy lands possessing immortal techniques over the past thousand years, and those techniques wouldn't even be applicable to humans.

In addition, learning immortal arts seems to require certain qualifications, and only a very few people are qualified.

During the Warring States period, only Hashirama Senju knew of the Sage Art.

Let alone the fact that Hashirama Senju created Sage Mode himself.

This guy is strong because he has the Ashura Reincarnation as a base, and he also activated the Wood Release bloodline limit.

To create immortal arts?

Something that even people like himself, Tobirama Senju, and Orochimaru couldn't achieve.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue would never believe that the simpleton Hashirama Senju would create Sage Mode on his own.

The most likely explanation is that he learned magic from the Shikkut Forest.

In the decades since the Warring States period, the only people known to possess Sage Mode from Hagoromo Gengetsu are the half-baked Jiraiya, and later Naruto Uzumaki and Kabuto Orochimaru.

Minato Namikaze could also use it, but he hadn't mastered Sage Mode before he died, so it wasn't very useful when he used it.

If we calculate it this way, there have been very few humans who have truly mastered immortal arts over the past thousand years.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was unsure if she would have the opportunity to learn immortal arts in the future.

He harbored great apprehension towards those three old fellows from the three holy lands who had lived for a thousand years, watched Kaguya Otsutsuki and her son kill each other, and then coldly watched the Infinite Tsukuyomi without ever stepping forward. They merely nurtured the holy land contractors like they were guiding Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Rather than forcibly taking it, it's better to think about getting it from the system later.

However, since Hagoromo Gengetsu doesn't understand the details of Sage Art right now, it's difficult to completely eliminate the stubborn and destructive Sage Art chakra remaining in his body through normal rest alone.

"Perhaps I should look for information on medical ninjutsu," Yui Gengetsu thought to himself as he put on his yukata.

Thanks to the establishment of Konoha's medical system under Tsunade's leadership, and with other major ninja villages following suit, the medical ninjutsu in the ninja world today is far more abundant than in the Warring States period or when ninja villages were first established.

Even Orochimaru, whose hands were sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, had complete faith that Tsunade could heal his injuries, which shows just how advanced medical ninjutsu is these days.

Times are always changing.

This applies to technology, and it also applies to ninjutsu.

There has never been a case where people today are inferior to people in ancient times.

With the same thought in mind, Yu Yi Xuan Yue stepped out of the hot spring and quickly began to make plans.
