Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 150 [The Shadow Council]!

"From this day forward, I have nothing to do with Sunagakure anymore. I am neither a Sunagakure ninja nor a Sunagakure hero. Pakura has died on this island."

After saying that, she raised her head again, her amber eyes staring directly at Qingye.

"You are very strong. If you had wanted to, I would have been dead long ago in the Land of Rivers."

Yekura's voice was calm, as if stating a fact unrelated to herself, "I have been abandoned by the village and have nothing left but blood ninjutsu, but since you need me—perhaps, you can find my value in me."

Yekura raised her hand, revealing a kunai in her palm.

"From this moment on, I will become the knife in your hand."

"What do you need me to do?"

Aoba looked into Yecang's eyes, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.

He knew things were settled.

"Don't worry, I am a peace-loving person."

Aoba took the kunai from Yekura's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "I won't let you fight against the people of Sunagakure, and I certainly won't let you kill innocent people."

Yecang raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly harboring strong skepticism about the phrase "peace-loving".

After all, this man in front of us single-handedly destroyed an entire Sunagakure stronghold in the Land of Rivers, defeated the Four-Tails Jinchuriki in the Land of Chapters, and even forced the Third Tsuchikage to personally intervene.

This kind of person claims to love peace?

Aoba ignored Yecang's suspicious look and continued, "I'm going to start an organization, and you are the first companion I'm inviting."

"Comrade, huh?!"

Perhaps she had just been betrayed by her companions, and now she felt nothing for those two words.

However, not having to join Konoha made her secretly relieved, and the organization that Aoba mentioned also piqued her curiosity.

"So what's our organization called?"

Aoba's expression froze for a rare moment.

To be honest, he hadn't really thought about this issue in detail.

He frantically searched his mind for the names of those cool and arrogant organizations from his past life. After a moment of contemplation, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes.

"Our organization is called the Shadow Council!"

Aoba deliberately lowered his voice, making his tone sound deep and mysterious, "Our organization protects the ninja world and maintains peace! How about that? Doesn't it sound really cool?"

Yekura:

'

A deathly silence filled the air for more than ten seconds, with only the cold wind whistling through the canyon.

Ye Cang looked at the expectant Konoha genius in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"This organization's name—you didn't just make it up on the spot, did you?"

Yekura couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "And why would an organization whose mission is to maintain peace in the ninja world be called 'Shadow'? This name doesn't sound like a respectable organization at all; it sounds more like some kind of shady terrorist organization—"

Hearing Yekura's merciless criticism, Aoba's eyes twitched slightly, and he could only force a dry laugh.

"Ahem—don't worry about the details."

Aoba waved his hand awkwardly, "The name is just a code name. The key is our core ideology. We're really not a terrorist organization. You'll gradually understand later."

Seeing Qingye's forced attempt to save face, Ye Cang's heavy and suppressed emotions miraculously dissipated.

She sighed deeply, and although she found the so-called "Shadow Council" utterly absurd and unreliable, she still slowly extended her right hand.

Upon seeing this, Aoba was slightly taken aback, but then the embarrassment on her face vanished, and she smiled as she extended her right hand to shake hands tightly with Yecang.

"So, what should I call you from now on?"

Ye Cang asked, "We can't keep calling you by your name, can we? Since it's a secret organization, should we call you leader?"

"Chief? That's too tacky."

Aoba raised his head, looked at the still-falling drizzle in the sky, and said with a deep expression, "From now on, everyone who joins our organization must be rigorously selected and approved by us. We are all comrades who share the same ideals and are fighting for the peace of the ninja world."

"In that case, my code name will be—Valon."

"Valon?"

Yekura looked completely bewildered, clearly unable to understand what the strange pronunciation meant.

Seeing Ye Cang's puzzled look, Qingye scratched his head awkwardly: "Ahem, if you don't understand, that's fine. Then it'll be simple. I'll call you number one, and you can call me number two."

Yekura rolled her eyes, speechless. "So casual?"

"If you don't like numbers, I have a few other options here."

Aoba stroked her chin and suggested seriously, "How about a director, manager, or you being my secretary? What do you think?"

Yekura's lips twitched again.

With such an unreliable leader, she was beginning to worry about the future of the organization.

"No."

Ye Cang coldly interrupted Aoba's ramblings, "My code name will be [Azure]."

"【Azure】? Hmm, simple and clear, not bad."

Aoba nodded in agreement.

Then, Aoba took out a scroll that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Yokura.

"This is the first task the organization has assigned you."

Yekura took the scroll, somewhat surprised: "It's starting so soon?"

"The organization has just been established, and everything needs to be built up. You might be a little busy in the early stages, but it's all for the sake of the ninja world. We'll promote you to Grand Secretary later!"

Aoba shamelessly made empty promises.

"Alright, I have other things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

The words had barely left his mouth when a muffled "bang" was heard.

The green leaves in front of him instantly turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated into the air, leaving only a well-made humanoid puppet that fell to the ground with a "thud".

Ye Cang looked at the puppet on the ground, recalling the somewhat absurd conversation from earlier, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile that even she herself didn't realize.

Then, she turned her head and her gaze fell on the overturned pit.

Looking at the strange white creature remains in the pit, and recalling what Aoba had just said, Yecang suddenly realized.

Aoba's near-perfect transformation ability, which can even perfectly simulate chakra, must have originated from this strange white organism.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and carefully collected the mangled remains of the White Zetsu, which had been blown beyond recognition, and sealed them, along with the puppet on the ground, into the scroll.

After doing all this, Yecang took one last look at the small island that buried her past, then turned and disappeared into the thick fog.

And shortly after Yekura left.

A strange ripple suddenly appeared on the uneven, muddy ground of the canyon.

Immediately afterwards, a pale figure emerged from the ground as if rising from the water.

It was the assassin who was hiding in the shadows and monitoring everything.

White Zetsu walked to the edge of the large pit and peered inside. Even though most of the remains had been taken away by Yekura, some small white fragments still remained at the bottom of the pit.

How could White Zetsu not recognize the remains of its own kind?

But White Zetsu's bizarre brain circuitry is clearly different from that of normal humans.

Upon seeing the corpse of its own kind, it showed no sadness whatsoever, instead splitting its exaggerated mouth and letting out an extremely grating, eerie laugh.

"Oh dear, what an unlucky idiot!"

White Zetsu shook his head, gloating as he mocked, "They actually got captured by Konoha ninjas, used as a substitute puppet, and then blown to bits. We need to report this to Lord Madara immediately; someone in Konoha discovered our presence—that's big news!"

Just as White Zetsu was incessantly mocking his fellow beings while preparing to use the Mayfly Technique again to sink into the ground and leave,

A sudden change has occurred!

A phantom, transparent figure burst out of the thick fog without warning and instantly entered White Zetsu's body at an unbelievable speed!

It is Aoba's spirit!

White Zetsu: "?"

White Zetsu's movements suddenly froze, his mouth still wide open, that eerie smile still lingering on his face.

Aoba was already very experienced in dealing with White Zetsu.

The moment his spirit entered the White Zetsu's body, it mercilessly shattered the chakra that represented the White Zetsu's consciousness!

In the blink of an eye, the White Zetsu froze on the spot, its eyes instantly becoming empty.

When it blinked again, Aoba had successfully taken over the White Zetsu's body.

He emerged from the ground again, stretched his limbs, and felt the pure and vibrant Hashirama cell chakra within his body. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Hoo—the quality of this White Zetsu body seems to be much better than the one we captured before."

In fact, not long after Aoba entered the canyon, he had already noticed the White Zetsu hidden underground.

After all, they were both White Zetsu. Although their consciousness was scattered by Aoba, their senses as fellow beings remained intact.

But he did not act rashly.

While spiritification techniques can penetrate walls and obstacles, if a spirit goes too deep underground, its perception and movement will be greatly restricted.

He was afraid that acting rashly would alert the enemy and scare away the White Zetsu responsible for surveillance.

Therefore, after White Zetsu's body was blown up, Aoba's spirit remained lurking nearby, and it was Aoba's puppet shadow clone that was always talking to Yecang.

If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have known that shadow clones have such a strong sense of self. He had always thought that Naruto fighting his shadow clones in the anime was just a joke, but now he realizes that it might actually be true.

Not only was he a chatterbox, but he was also very dramatic, and his organization had such a cringeworthy name that he was so embarrassed he almost dug his toes out of a three-bedroom apartment.

If he hadn't secretly told his shadow clone to end it quickly, that guy probably could have dragged it out for another half hour.

hemp eggs.

After waiting for so long, the White Zetsu finally emerged from the ground on its own!

"If it's offered to us, we might as well take it."

Aoba controlled White Zetsu's body to walk to the edge of the pit, formed hand seals to fill the pit back in, and quickly sorted through the current information in his mind.

White Zetsu appeared in the Land of Water, right at the scene where the Hidden Mist ninja ambushed Pakura.

What does this mean?

This means that the Hidden Mist was likely already infiltrated by Madara.
