Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

There are many ANBU captains like Captain Brown Bear, and those Uzumaki ninjas who entered the Land of Waves may all die here.

The company commander and battalion commanders were guarding the beach, and the Hidden Whirlpool Village had no idea what was happening there.

Nightlight reported the situation encountered by the Blue Wolf Squad to Captain Brown Bear.

"The Uzumaki ninjas you mentioned, the other Anbu members have also encountered in the past few days, and they are indeed very strong."

Captain Brown Bear looked at the fox's leg; its clothes were torn, and there was bloodstains all around. The wound was indeed from half a month ago.

The brown bear squad leader thought for a moment and said:

"Fox, whose real name is Night Light."

My parents lived in Konoha for 18 years before moving to the village after the First Shinobi World War.

He was born in Konoha in 23rd year. Five years later, his parents died in a rebellion by rogue ninja.

He graduated from the Konoha Ninja Academy in 33, and in 38, which is this year, he was selected by the Anbu through the Chunin Exams, which were made easier.

With a clean background, although relatively weak, he adapted well to the missions of the Anbu and even learned the Shadow Clone Technique from Rin.

Follow me, fox.

In a few days, I will assign you one or two ANBU ninjas to be acting squad leaders.

If you successfully complete several tasks, you will be officially appointed as a squad leader.

Ye Guang quickly bowed his head: "Thank you, Captain!"

Promotion doesn't matter; the key is that becoming a captain means receiving orders and knowing more intelligence.

For five consecutive days, Ye Guang followed the Brown Bear Squadron Leader, who was responsible for leaving behind secret signals in the vicinity.

During this time, two Uzumaki ninjas attempted to break through the blockade and leave the large island of the Land of Waves.

The brown bear squad leader easily dealt with the two vortex ninjas.

The difference in strength was too great; the brown bear squad leader only used taijutsu and not ninjutsu.

A search of the corpse revealed no sealed scroll.

The moonlight seemed to be stirring.

If he's still alive by the 14th of this month, go up and take down the brown bear squad leader; you might just find some good reward.

He only dared to think this way when he was looking at the ground. If he were to think this way while staring at the company commander, he was afraid that the company commander would stab him to death with a knife.

"Company commander, aren't you afraid that Uzushiogakure will hold Konoha accountable?"

"Of course I'm not afraid." The brown bear squad leader glanced at the fox:

"I know you're from Konoha's Anbu, but how do these Uzumaki ninja know who you are?"

Even if they find some evidence, the village could easily claim that Kirigakure framed them.

Konoha and Uzushiogakure are allies, so why would they kill their own ally?

Also, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

"I'm sorry, squad leader, I was overthinking it."

The Anbu are responsible for doing the dirty and hard work for the village, and no one can leave the Anbu except by death or Danzo's permission.

The ninja number of Nightlight was sealed away; in the file, he was a Konoha ninja who had died in a mission.

One after another, other disbanded secret units came to find the company commander.

The brown bear squad leader sent someone to Nightlight, a member of the dark side wearing a pine bird mask.

The two formed a new team, with Ye Guang serving as the acting team leader.

After distracting the pine bird, the brown bear captain assigned tasks to the squad.

"Fox, the Land of Waves is now a mixed bag, with Mist Ninja, Cloud Ninja, Uzumaki Ninja, and our Anbu."

Go and assassinate a noble mayor from the Land of Waves, who is a supporter of the Hidden Village of Uzushiogakure.

Beware of that nobleman's samurai and his guardian ninja.

Taking the mission scroll, Ye Guang said, "Okay, I understand."

The mission scroll contained a lot of information about the noble town mayors. Nightlight was no longer just a tool for carrying out missions; it began to receive intelligence and had some autonomy.

Chapter 16: He used everything on himself.

Two battalions of Konoha's Anbu entered the Land of Waves, and within two months, their supplies were completely depleted.

Without ration pills, obtaining food becomes difficult and it's easy to be exposed.

Without ninja tools, many ANBU members need to carefully clean up the battlefield, making them vulnerable to traps set by the enemy in their ninja tool pouches.

The Uzumaki ninja did not have this worry, as Uzumaki Village had always protected the nobles of the Land of Whirlpools and could obtain supplies from them.

To better suppress the Uzumaki ninja, it is necessary to cut off their supplies and make the nobles realize that helping the Uzumaki ninja at this time is dangerous and fatal.

The noble mayor that the Nightlight quest requires you to kill is the ruler of the nearby village who is the most steadfast supporter of the Whirlpool Village.

Nightlight didn't tell the pine birds where they were going, nor what they were going to do.

Members of the Dark Force only need to execute orders; they don't need to think.

With his identity reversed, Ye Guang also became an exploiter who didn't care about the lives of his subordinates.

The two headed towards their target town. Their priority wasn't speed, but avoiding recklessness and a gruesome death.

"Pinebird, how old are you?"

"Captain Fox, I am 12 years old this year."

He had just graduated and became a Chunin by sheer luck after the village lowered the requirements for Chunin.

Not knowing what to say to his teammates, Ye Guang asked, "What is your dream?"

"My dream?" the pine bird asked.

"My dream is to accumulate mission experience in the Anbu like Lord White Fang and become the strongest ninja!"

Konoha's White Fang was a legendary figure in the Anbu, constantly growing stronger and honing his swordsmanship in battles within the Anbu, eventually becoming a Kage-level ninja.

There are three ways for Konoha ninjas to learn ninjutsu.

The first way is through family inheritance.

Top-tier ninjutsu and secret techniques, like infectious diseases, are transmitted only through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and bodily fluids.

The sword technique that Bai Ya uses is a family heirloom.

The second way is to gain the trust of the team leader or captain and be taught ninjutsu.

It's very difficult and rare to find a teacher or team leader who shares your temperament.

The third option is to join the secret service and make contributions to the village.

This path requires luck, the luck to keep surviving.

This is also the fairest principle, and it is one of the underlying logics of loyalty among Anbu ninjas.

"Good luck, Matsutori. You'll become a ninja like Lord White Fang someday."

Upon arriving outside the town, Ye Guang carefully observed it from a distance using binoculars.

The town has about 1000 households and is surrounded by wooden walls. Every few dozen meters along the walls are watchtowers, and on top of these watchtowers are warriors trained by the town mayor.

An ordinary samurai trains his physique daily and carries a long sword; even a genin would need several moves to defeat him.

Higher-ranking samurai can refine chakra and use it to enhance their taijutsu, making them equivalent to genin in ninja villages.

Higher-ranking samurai can only be trained by the Land of Iron.

These warriors were poorly paid and very cheap.

Nightlight and Pine Bird found the samurai's blind spot, evaded the patrolling samurai, and jumped into the town.

The town is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The inner city was where the noble town mayor lived and worked.

Lively nights are a luxury only big cities like Kyoto can afford; small towns enforce strict curfews for self-defense.

The streets of the town were deserted; everyone was hiding in their homes.

Ordinary people may die at the hands of ninjas from ninja villages, or they may die at the hands of wandering ninjas.

All the commoners gathered around the nobleman, hoping that he and the hired ninja would bring them peace.

Nightlight and Pine Bird successfully infiltrated the vicinity of the inner city.

"careful!"

A group of samurai appeared from the side, and Ye Guang was the first to hide in the alley.

The pine bird quickly followed.

There were several trash cans in the alley, and Nightlight and Pine Bird were hiding behind two of them.

After the samurai team left, Ye Guang said, "Matsutori, be very careful from now on. Find a weak point in the defenses and climb over the inner city wall."

Like the outer city, the inner city also had arrow towers and warriors.

After the two climbed into the inner city, they lay down on the ground and quickly pressed themselves against the base of a building, slowly moving around the base of the wall.

More than ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the brightest spot.

In the distance is the mayor's study.

There were two silhouettes in the study window, but it was impossible to tell which one was the mayor from the silhouettes.

Suddenly the window opened, and someone rushed out.

It's a Uzumaki ninja!

The mayor stood by the window and noticed that the ninja suddenly stopped talking, then broke through the window and rushed towards the corner of a building.

Two more Uzumaki ninjas appeared elsewhere, along with samurai who had received the news and rushed over.

The rustling of kunai cutting through the air and the clanking of samurai armor made Pine Bird extremely nervous.

Upon seeing the captain's retreat signal, he immediately ran outside.

I never expected there would be a Uzumaki ninja squad here.

The kunai thudded and stuck to the surrounding wooden walls.

One of the kunai pierced the pine bird's shoulder.

Another kunai pierced his foot.

Just as they were about to ask the captain for help, they discovered that the fox captain had been hit by a kunai and turned into white smoke.

what?

Shadow clone?

when?

Pine Bird suddenly remembered that when they infiltrated the inner city, the captain had disappeared for a moment and then hid behind different trash cans.

He gave a bitter laugh, recalling the key points his teacher had mentioned when teaching the Substitution Technique at the Ninja Academy.

The Substitution Technique involves transforming a wooden stake into one's own likeness, hiding in the shadows, and launching a sneak attack when the enemy attacks the stake.

The key to the Substitute Technique is finding or creating an opportunity when the enemy loses sight of you.

Shadow Clone Technique can be considered an advanced form of substitution.

Captain Fox used all his evil schemes against the enemy on himself.

One's own life, like a shadow clone, is used to deceive the enemy.

The pine bird looked at the nobleman.

He had long suspected that the mission might be to kill the nobles in the town.

Sure enough, behind the window, Captain Fox somehow sneaked up behind the nobleman and raised a kunai.

Captain Fox has mastered such exquisite infiltration techniques.
