Tobirama Senju's nonchalant attitude nearly drove Chu Yang into a rage.

Listen, is this human talk?

Those are the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails, considered top-tier combat power in this world, and they can die in an instant.

"it is good."

Despite his complaints, Chu Yang did not refuse. Tobirama Senju must have had his reasons for choosing him to take on the task, and Chu Yang himself was also very suitable for it.

Chu Yang's quick agreement brought a smile to Tobirama Senju's face. He asked, "Aren't you afraid of the danger?"

Chu Yang laughed and said, "This is not as dangerous as the war between the Senju and Uchiha clans."

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark; the terror of the human heart far surpasses that of a tailed beast.

“Actually, I’ve been hoping you could take over this from the very beginning. If you can complete it successfully, your prestige in the village will be greatly enhanced. It’s not too late to get involved now.”

"The plan to weaken the Uchiha clan was very successful, but at the same time, we should also continuously reduce their influence in Konoha. Giving up the Anbu is a risky move, and we must be careful at all times."

Tobirama Senju reminded him, "After this mission ends, until Izuna Uchiha and your older brother return from the Land of Lightning, you will be temporarily in charge of the Anbu. During this time, do something, understand?"

Chu Yang nodded. He understood the unspoken meaning behind Tobirama Senju's words: he wanted him to familiarize himself with the operations of the Anbu in advance so that he could prepare for the future.

Afterwards, Tobirama Senju tested Chu Yang's progress in ninjutsu before letting him leave.

The following day, Chu Yang led three squads, totaling 12 members of the Anbu, and left Konoha.

Their target was the Eight-Tails, and according to the mission log, the Eight-Tails was last seen at the border between the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Fire.

Chu Yang deduced that the Eight-Tails should be within the territory of the Land of Waterfall.

The Land of Waterfall is a special country. Its geographical location is not good. It is surrounded by four countries, so whenever a war breaks out, it will be attacked from both sides.

If it weren't for the numerous waterfalls within the country, and the fact that many settlements are hidden within them, the people here would probably have a very difficult time living.

But this country, in such a dire situation, had its own ninja village earlier than other small countries!

It's important to understand that in the early days when the five great nations had just established their ninja villages, many nations couldn't muster enough ninjas to build them.

The ninja village in the Land of Waterfalls is similar to other communal settlements, hidden behind a waterfall and in a state of seclusion.

Chu Yang felt that they were somewhat sad.

After entering the Land of Waterfall, the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu did not conceal their movements much. This was partly due to the fact that the Anbu was newly established and its operational skills were not yet fully developed, but more so due to their contempt for the Hidden Leaf Village's strength.

The war between the two major clans had just ended, and most Konoha ninjas still upheld the value of respecting the strong, especially the Uchiha clan.

As long as it doesn't affect the mission, Chu Yang has no intention of disciplining or educating his subordinates. Falling behind means being vulnerable to attack; if you're not good enough, don't blame others for not giving you face—this is an eternal truth.

The land area of ​​the Land of Waterfall is not large; at the speed of a ninja, it would take at most a week to traverse the entire land.

To save time, Chu Yang arranged for three secret service teams to act separately. Their main task was to locate the tailed beasts, not to fight them head-on. As long as they were careful, they would not be in any danger.

This plan was opposed by some team members.

"Lord Yang, before the operation began, Lord Tobirama repeatedly emphasized that ensuring your safety was our top priority, even more important than capturing the Tailed Beasts!"

Although he understood the teacher's good intentions, Chu Yang felt that this order was a case of being overly concerned and making a mistake.

"If protecting me is more important than capturing the tailed beasts, then what's the point of us coming here? Are we just here for tourism?" Chu Yang said in a deep voice.

The team members looked at each other, and finally someone stepped forward and said, "We must leave some people behind to protect your safety."

Chu Yang gave him a deep look and asked coldly, "What's your name?"

The team members tensed up, then looked at the speaker with pity. A hint of panic flashed in the man's eyes, as if he was afraid that Chu Yang would see him as a thorn in the side for defying his superior. But then he said firmly, "Uchiha Yuto."

“Yang Dou…” Chu Yang’s indifferent face suddenly showed a smile, and he said in an approving tone, “Then I’ll trouble you to stay. The rest of you can disperse as planned.”

Uchiha Yuto revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.

The members of the other two teams were taken aback, and then realized that Chu Yang was testing them, and they immediately showed regret.

Everyone realized one thing.

This guy named Yang Dou will definitely be given an important position when he gets back!

"Look behind the waterfall!"

After hearing Chu Yang's last words of advice, the team members scattered with jealous expressions, quickly disappearing from Chu Yang's sight.

The only thing they can do now is to find the whereabouts of the Tailed Beasts as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we turn the tide.

Once only Yang Dou was left by his side, Chu Yang began to release his Observation Haki to probe the Eight-Tails' aura.

As one of the top combat forces in the Naruto world, the Eight-Tails has an extremely powerful aura. Even if it tries to conceal its presence, it is still very noticeable under the perception of Observation Haki.

Two days later, late at night.

Inside a cave within a massive waterfall, Chu Yang sensed an incredibly powerful aura that materialized in his consciousness into a colossal creature with the head of a bull and the body of an octopus.

Eight-tailed bull ghost!

“Found it.” Chu Yang turned to Yang Dou beside him and said, “Notify the others to come and meet me here, and then send the message back to the village.”

Looking at the enormous waterfall before him, which resembled an inverted Milky Way, Yang Dou shivered.

With some doubt, he used the secret service's special communication methods to send out the message.

"Lord Yang, how did you determine that the Eight-Tails is here?" Yang Dou asked cautiously.

"Intuition," Chu Yang said, and then fell silent.

Yang Dou now just wanted to slap himself twice. If he had known better than to ask a few more questions, he wouldn't have sent the message out so rashly. What would he do if Madara Uchiha came?

Chu Yang didn't notice Yang Dou's regretful expression.

The eight tails inside the cave seemed to move, and the water droplets splashing from the entire waterfall suddenly became more intense.

"Pay attention to controlling your breathing and chakra."

As soon as Chu Yang finished speaking, the waterfall in front of him seemed to have a curtain drawn back, revealing a large blank area.

Behind the waterfall stood a huge shadow.

Yang Dou got goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Chu Yang in disbelief, and at this moment, he finally became convinced.

The Eight-Tails did not notice them.

Instead, it took advantage of the moonlight to leave the cave where it was currently staying, a nameless unease urging it to leave this place.

With just a slight turn, the lake beneath the Eight-Tailed Fox suddenly surged with towering waves, submerging the surrounding ground and nearly reaching the location where Chu Yang and the others were hiding.

The eight-tailed creature looked around indifferently, turned around, and disappeared into the boundless night.

As the Eight-Tails' figure gradually blurred, Yang Dou said impatiently, "Lord Yang, let's chase after them!"

Chu Yang remained motionless, coldly staring ahead. "Wait a little longer."

Just as Yang Dou was about to offer some advice, the lake not far away began to ripple again, and shadows reappeared in the darkness. Upon seeing this, Yang Dou immediately shut his mouth.

The Eight-Tails circled around and this time left in the completely opposite direction.

"Was it trying to lure us out just now?" Yangdou stared incredulously at the departing figure of the Eight-Tails.

"After being chased for so long, even the stupidest person should be on guard."

Chu Yang frowned and glanced at him. "How did you get selected by the Dark Division?"

Yang Dou scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "As for combat... I'm more confident."

Chu Yang's expression improved slightly.

With the power of his Observation Haki, Chu Yang stayed outside the Eight-Tails' perception range, closely following behind it.

Yang Dou acts as a liaison, responsible for updating others on the Eight-Tails' movements in real time.

Another day passed.

The eight-tailed creature seemed a bit tired and didn't continue forward. Instead, it found a valley, slowly walked into a deep pool, and sat down with its huge body.

The deep pool couldn't completely contain the Eight-Tails' body. It sat inside, with half of its body exposed, just like an ordinary person lying in a bathtub. The scene looked somewhat comical.

Lying in the deep pool, the Eight-Tails leaned against the mountain behind it and gradually closed its eyes.

At this moment, all members of the Dark Guard team had gathered around Chu Yang. Seeing that the time was ripe, he ordered, "Set up the barrier!"

After receiving their orders, everyone vanished from Chu Yang's sight in an instant.

Three teams, totaling 12 people, surrounded Yawei from 12 different directions.

The 12 people simultaneously formed hand seals, and after a moment, 12 different beams of light shot into the sky, then converged into a polygonal rhombus-shaped barrier.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Lord Uchiha Madara."

A dark figure leaped down from the waterfall and slowly walked towards the Eight-Tailed Fox as Chu Yang spoke.

Madara Uchiha chuckled softly, "Well done, kid. No wonder Hashirama and Tobirama valued you so much. If you were a member of the Uchiha clan, I might have taken you as my disciple."

Madara Uchiha's powerful chakra instantly awakened the Eight-Tails, which had just fallen asleep. The Eight-Tails got up and let out a deafening roar.

The surrounding area shook violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Chu Yang suddenly realized something... he shouldn't have stayed here. The aftershocks of the battle between Madara Uchiha and the Eight-Tails could easily destroy everything around them.

Failed!
