Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 53 Kato Dan's Life and Death Don't Matter

One order after another was issued.

Upon hearing the arrangements made for him, Ye Guang breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Yellow Dog Battalion lost two squadrons, greatly reducing its strength. Therefore, the higher-ups arranged for the Yellow Dog Battalion to guard Kato Dan.

It's great that we don't have to fight head-on.

There is a dug cave inside Niuhe Mountain.

Kato Dan, two Senju ninjas, and a yellow dog entered the cave.

Nightlight and Purple Cat are responsible for guarding the cave entrance.

There was a small spies on each side of the cave entrance, while Captain Yellow Dog was assigned to protect Kato Dan.

When Kato Dan uses the Spirit Transformation Technique, he cannot move.

The higher-ups believed that Kato Dan's unbridled use of forbidden techniques was more useful than veteran ANBU Jonin like Kinoko participating in the battle.

No wonder Kato Dan was qualified to participate in the competition for the Fourth Hokage; his strength and prestige were so high.

A fragrant breeze came.

Tsunade entered the cave and inspected Kato Dan's guards.

Tsunade created a herbal perfume; the fragrance of flowers and herbs was soothing to the senses.

As the light shone through his memories, he realized that Tsunade was four years older than the original owner of this body, and that the original owner had met Tsunade when he was at the Ninja Academy.

At that time, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was still alive, and Tsunade was a true prodigy.

As they passed by the luminous object, Tsunade stopped and said, "A fox, huh? Your intelligence is very timely."

Night Light replied, "It's what I should do, Princess Tsunade."

Tsunade is not a coy person; wearing a loose, low-cut dress, her chest is quite impressive.

After nodding to the fox, Tsunade continued walking into the cave.

When Tobirama was alive, the Anbu were like Tobirama's arms, and Tsunade always maintained a sense of closeness to the Anbu.

Unfortunately, the Anbu changed its nature after it was handed over to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo is now Hiruzen Sarutobi's henchman, directing the Anbu to do dirty work.

Even if the village ninjas had objections, Hiruzen Sarutobi would act as the arbiter.

Today, Tsunade heard that only two members of an ANBU squad returned with crucial intelligence, making her feel that the ANBU still retained some of her great-uncle's legacy.

Looking at Tsunade and Dan Kato chatting inside the cave, Yagami felt a little sorry for the two of them.

Kato Dan must be dying soon.

Nawaki and Kato Dan both died in the Second Shinobi World War.

After Tsunade left, Yakko picked up her binoculars and looked into the distance.

A tiny black dot appeared in the dark night sky.

The black dot drew closer, revealing a dwarf-like human figure.

That person was wearing a Tsuchikage hat; it was Onoki!
The battle reached its peak immediately upon its outbreak.

Onoki used Dust Release directly!
A dazzling light appeared in his hand, the Dust Release barrier suddenly expanded, and a beam of light shot straight toward the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Moreover, a stream of red chakra appeared in the direction of Iwagakure.

Without testing him, Steam Ninja Han entered Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak Mode and unleashed three tails.

Deep in the heart of the Land of Fire, the Iwa ninja must act swiftly and decisively, otherwise, if a large number of Konoha ninja arrive, even Onoki will suffer a great loss.

Faced with the aggressive Iwa ninja, Konoha responded swiftly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nimbly dodged the Dust Release, summoned Enma, and wielded the Vajra Staff, which grew longer as he smashed it down on Onoki in mid-air.

The three-tailed man began to condense a Tailed Beast Ball in front of his head.

Just then, one of the Jonin behind him suddenly moved.

The Jonin lunged at Han, pulled out an explosive tag, and attempted to take Han down with him.

"It's Konoha's Spirit Transformation Technique!"

An elite Jonin used Earth Release to stop the controlled Jonin. The explosion caused chaos among the Iwa ninja.

The elite Jonin immediately said, "I'll take some men to find Kato Dan!"

Kato Dan's direct combat ability is inferior to that of Hiruzen Sarutobi's three disciples, but his deterrent effect on the battlefield is greater.

His name gave all the enemy village commanders a headache.

As long as the spiritification technique is used, our side will inevitably fall into chaos.

Few sensory ninjutsu can see the soul, so the Spirit Transformation Technique cannot be resisted directly. The only option is to find Kato Dan's true form.

Ye Guang looked up at the faint glow of the barrier on the cave wall, wondering if these barriers could stop the Iwa ninja's reconnaissance.

The elite Jonin, leading two squads of sensory ninjas, broke away from the main force of Iwa ninjas and circled to the side, focusing on finding Kato Dan.

Although he didn't have to go to the front lines, Ye Guang couldn't escape a battle.

While observing the movements of the Iwa ninja, Ye Guang asked the purple cat beside him:
"Purple Cat, the Mountain Secret Technique can control others, and Jonin Kato Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique can also control others. Is there some kind of connection between these two techniques?"

Purple Cat said:
"Yes. Mountain Secrets and Spirit Transformation Techniques are both Yin Escape Secrets specializing in mental control."

The art of spiritual transformation is a forbidden art, and its range of application is much greater than that of the secret arts of the mountains.

The Yamanaka clan didn't know why the Spirit Transformation Technique was so powerful. The Spirit Transformation Technique was a secret technique of the Senju clan, passed down through the Senju clan and its affiliated minor ninja clans.

The Senju and Uchiha clans fought each other for hundreds of years during the Warring States period. The Senju clan united many affiliated ninja clans to deal with the Uchiha clan.

For example, the Kurama clan, whose genjutsu is comparable to that of the Uchiha clan, and the Kato clan, which inherited the art of spirit transformation.

These smaller ninja clans were heavily targeted by the Uchiha clan, and their numbers remained consistently small.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "The arrogant Uchiha clan doesn't understand how to unite with the strength of others. The Senju clan has the Uzumaki clan, which they are related to by marriage, as well as the small ninja clans with secret techniques like Kurama and Kato, which help them. They get stronger and stronger as they fight."

The distant battle became the background noise of the chaos.

Outside the cave, all was calm.

Ye Guang formed the hand seals for the "Reflecting Fish in the Earth" technique and pressed his hands onto the ground.

The ground rippled like water.

Chakra spread underground, searching for any Iwa ninja that might appear there.

Skilled Iwa ninja are like mice, constantly hiding in the ground and making full use of ground combat.

After searching for a few minutes, Ye Guang suddenly looked up.

"At 2 o'clock! 80 meters away! There are two Iwa ninjas lurking in the ground!"

Upon hearing this, the yellow dog immediately barked, "Be on guard!"

He would stay by Kato Dan's side every step of the way.

A small, clandestine team outside the cave had already rushed in the direction indicated by the night light.

Cold sweat beaded on Ye Guang's forehead.

What he just discovered may not be two people.

There was also a blurry figure underground, but it was unclear where it was.

He couldn't accurately detect it, either because he was misperceiving it, or because the opponent's strength was far superior to his own.

The outcome of the battle is irrelevant, as is Kato Dan's life or death; my own life is the most important thing.

Even if Purple Cat died ten times over, he still couldn't help Nightlight defeat an elite Jonin at this moment.

Black Bull and Antelope are both dead; Purple Cat is his only remaining subordinate, so he cherishes him.

We can't stay here. If we're exposed, it'll be too dangerous for Kato Dan to be around.

Ye Guang shouted, "Large number of enemies spotted at 2 o'clock! One squad is no match for them, Captain, I request to go and support them!"

The yellow dog said:
"Go! Hurry! Our position has been exposed; the others must buy more time for Kato Dan!"

Nightlight and Purple Cat rushed towards the 2 o'clock direction.

An unusual chakra fluctuation emanated from underground. The elite Jonin, instead of engaging with Nightlight, slipped into the cave.

　I'm so annoyed! They deleted over a hundred words of mine, causing my update to be half an hour late. Why is it so hard to even write something risqué? Where exactly is the line drawn?
