Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

The guardian ninja looked at Shimura Kotobuki's body and said, "Your Highness, even if Shimura Kotobuki's brain isn't fully cooked, it's still about 70% cooked. It's probably impossible to extract any information from it."

Upon hearing the ninja's evaluation, the daimyo suddenly smelled the aroma of roasted meat. Then, thinking about where the aroma was coming from, he vomited.

"From today onwards, we will only eat stewed mutton. We are absolutely forbidden from eating roasted meat, and the word 'roasted' is not even allowed to be mentioned!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

In the distance from the temporary camp, Ye Guang spotted Yu Jia and the other two.

"Alright, Yuka, all four of Shimura's guardian ninjas are dead."

Yuja's eyes were filled with ease and the pleasure of revenge.

Danzo Shimura is one of the murderers of the Uzumaki clan. Now, let you also experience the pain of having your kin killed.

She also harbored hatred towards Kumogakure and Kirigakure, but in the battle between ninja villages, her village was breached by a direct, forceful attack, indicating that she was outmatched in skill.

However, the intelligence about the outposts set up by Uzushiogakure on the coastline was leaked, which prevented the village from detecting the enemy landing, making Yuga and the others even more resentful.

“Yujia, I also discovered some information. When you moved from the Land of Whirlpools to the Land of Rain, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass accidentally captured a medical ninja named Uzumaki Kaon.

I'll tell you the location. Once you get there, communicate with me again through reverse telepathy, and I'll go save her.

It's getting late, I'll head back to Konoha now.

After saying that, Ye Guang Ni Tong Ling left.

Yu Jia knew that the fox couldn't leave Konoha for long, and she felt quite disappointed.

When will this life of hiding and dodging finally end?

Chapter 252 A guilty conscience

Back in Konoha Village, all was quiet.

Nightlight came to the rooftop and looked in the direction of the Shimura clan.

The person holding the kunai must be prepared to be killed by it.

Danzo's infighting knows no bounds, so one must be prepared to be the one caught in the crossfire.

The annihilation of the Uzumaki clan was already heartless enough with the Konoha leadership turning a blind eye, but Danzo directly betrayed information, which is the first major crime.

The recommendation of ninja positions is a serious offense. The five clans have an unseemly way of eating, leaving leftovers and rotten soup for others. This is the second major sin.

There are countless other egregious acts, both big and small, committed by high-ranking officials, some of which Ye Guang knows and some he doesn't.

It's one thing for Konoha's high-ranking officials to be old and not die, occupying positions without doing their job, but to smear other members of Konoha with their own excrement is utterly disgusting.

Increase the strength of that old scoundrel Danzo.

The Shimura clan holds the position of Captain of the Guardian Ninja of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, and therefore has priority in choosing missions in the Land of Grass.

The Shimura clan could eat their fill just from the mission in the Land of Grass.

The missions commissioned by the Daimyo of the Land of Grass are all national-level missions, which are S-rank missions.

Recently, the Shimura clan has been farming S-rank missions by relying on the Grass Country.

Conservative estimates suggest that the Land of Grass brings at least 6000 million taels of silver to the Shimura clan annually.

Do you have the ability to protect the Daimyo of the Land of Grass?

The most lucrative positions are held by the five upper clans: the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water of the Sarutobi clan, the Land of Rivers of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and the Land of Whirlpools of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans.

Do you even have that ability? You're enjoying so many benefits.

The next day, they went to the root to train trust, and Ye Guang carefully observed Bing and Gui.

Being a thief, he felt somewhat guilty and didn't know when Danzo would notice anything amiss.

At the speed of the Ninja Hawk, it would take about two or three days to travel from the Land of Grass to Konoha.

On the third day at noon, a member of the Dark Guard hurriedly entered the Root's training ground.

"Fox Jonin! The Hokage summons you to the Hokage Building!"

coming!

When Yagami arrived at the Hokage's office, he found that Sakumo Hatake was also there, along with the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Inu Kyo—so many important figures.

He stood quietly behind the sofa, listening to the high-level meeting.

After listening for a while, Ye Guang was very disappointed. It wasn't news of Shimura Kotobu's murder that had reached the village.

Danzo sat calmly on the sofa, showing no sadness whatsoever, which saddened Yako.

Today's topic is Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), so Sakumo Hatake is also here.

The two Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, Ryūha-nin and Furuhi, were attacked one after the other.

Konoha's White Fang and Orochimaru are both incredibly high-profile.

In the harbor, surrounded by so many ships, White Fang cleaved the Tailed Beast Ball with his sword, making the Ryuu-ren doubt whether there was something wrong with his Tailed Beast Ball.

Orochimaru's presence in Kumogakure directly led to the death of Brubi, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, after he went berserk.

The two people were like a competition, and in fact, they were in a contest.

Mitokado Homura said, "Hakaki Sakumo, Orochimaru! You've gone too far!"

You are going to gather intelligence. Although killing Burubi could severely damage Kumogakure, it would inevitably lead to a fierce counterattack from Kumogakure.

A large number of Cloud Ninja have appeared on the border of the Land of Hot Water.

If handled improperly, it could easily trigger a war!

No wonder they let Ye Guang listen in; the aftershocks of the Jinchūriki are still ongoing.

What Sakumo Hatake did wasn't particularly outrageous; he went to spy on the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Orochimaru really went too far.

However, the higher-ups will not criticize Orochimaru separately, but will criticize both of them together.

Orochimaru said, "The information you gave me in the early stages was about a perfect Jinchuriki and a large-scale Tailed Beast Ball. I thought Brubi was really that powerful, but I didn't expect him to die after taking one secret medicine."

"Orochimaru!" The Third Hokage quickly stopped Orochimaru's nonsense.

The effects of the illusion medicine far exceeded expectations, but the Hidden Cloud Village not only had Jinchuriki, but their ninjas were also very strong.

The battle with Kumogakure was the most troublesome.

The basic skills of the Cloud Ninja's middle and lower-ranking ninjas are superior to those of the Leaf Ninja.

In the event of war, even if the commanders and Jonin are evenly matched, the heavy casualties of Chunin and Genin will force Konoha to retreat continuously, and may even force it to cede the Land of Hot Springs.

Sakumo Hatake said, "Hokage-sama, esteemed officials, Cloud Ninja have appeared on the border of the Land of Hot Springs."

Please allow me to lead a team to the border of the Land of Hot Springs to deal with the harassment from the Cloud Ninja.

I'm skilled in Lightning Release and understand the Cloud Ninja; I have the ability to stop them!

Ye Guang secretly agreed.

After his setback in being recommended for Jonin rank, Hatake Sakumo did not become discouraged; instead, he became increasingly proactive.

Voluntarily undertake dangerous tasks and proactively apply to go to difficult places.

If he can take charge of the defense of the northern border of the Land of Hot Springs this time, Sakumo Hatake's prestige will undoubtedly increase even more.

Crucially, Sakumo Hatake could use this opportunity to promote the ninjutsu assessment system on the front lines and gradually change the mindset of Konoha ninjas.

Through war, one can also cultivate followers like Shirakumo Hayato.

Ye Guang looked at the Third Hokage.

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage remained unmoved after hearing Sakumo Hatake's volunteering.

The Third Hokage turned to Danzo and asked, "During the Second Shinobi World War, Kumogakure fought against both us and Iwagakure, and they also suffered heavy casualties."

In addition, the Hidden Cloud Village pursued an elite force strategy, resulting in a small number of ninjas.

How many people did they send to the Land of Hot Springs this time?

Danzo said, "My spies have reported back that the Hidden Cloud Village sent out at least 300 people in the first wave of attacks."

They traveled south, leaving the Land of Thunder, and arrived at the border between the Land of Moon and the Land of Hot Water.

The leader was Garui, an elite Jonin from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) known for his Storm Release techniques.

“Garui with Storm Release…” The Third Hokage pondered the information about this person.

Garui performed exceptionally well in the war against Iwagakure, killing several renowned Iwagakure ninjas, and possessed extremely powerful bloodline limit strength.

Just as the Third Hokage was hesitating about how to suppress Hatake Sakumo and prevent him from going to the front lines, there was a knock on the door.

How could someone just randomly knock on the door for a high-level meeting of this caliber?

Ye Guang opened the door and saw that it was Bing at the root.

He seemed a little excited beneath his mask. So they've come? Are they really here this time?

Bing rushed into the office and whispered something in Danzo's ear.

The door closed in the darkness.

Given the urgency, why would Bing interrupt a high-level meeting? Could something serious have happened in the Land of Grass?

After hearing this, Danzo's pupils constricted and his eyes turned fierce, but he did not lose his composure.

Nightlight quietly walked back behind the sofa, not looking at Danzo, but at the flustered Bing.

Compared to Danzo, Hiroshi's performance was terrible.

He bent slightly, facing Danzo on the sofa, his body swaying from time to time.

The Third Hokage asked, "What's wrong? Danzo?"

Danzo slowly closed his one eye, then opened it again and said:

"The Ninja Hawk has just sent back intelligence that the Daimyo of the Land of Grass was attacked, and four of his Guardian Ninja, including Captain Shimura Kotobuki, were killed in the attack."

"What!" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked immediately, "How is the Daimyo of the Land of Grass?"

Danzo said, "The four guardian ninjas who sacrificed their lives were all members of my Shimura clan. Under their protection, the Daimyo was unharmed..."

Ye Guang pondered to himself, "Such a big thing happened in the Land of Grass. Konoha is so stubborn and tries to do both. They can't possibly stop Hatake Sakumo from going to the Land of Hot Springs to take command, can they?"

Chapter 253 Luxury Survey Team

Bing took out the scroll and placed it on the Third Hokage's desk.

The third generation looked at the scroll, his expression incredulous, and said:

"Someone is using a diversionary tactic, creating unrest in the southeast of the Daming migration camp."

Subsequently, two smoke grenades appeared around Daimyo's tent.

After the smoke bomb cleared, four guardian ninjas died.

The four of them... were all ninjas from the Shimura clan.

Three of them had their temples pierced by kunai, and the captain, Shimura Kotobuki, was burned to a crisp by fire-style attacks.

"Fire Release again..."

Shimura Oka, Sarutobi Yu, and the Root members Cho and Mi all died from Fire Release techniques.

The people in the office sketched out a portrait.

A fire-style ninja with exceptional infiltration and body-flickering techniques, he frequently targets Konoha, especially Root and the Shimura clan.

He committed his crimes in places including the Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Iron, always choosing locations far from Konoha.

The higher-ups looked at Danzo, wondering why he was being targeted in this way.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what evil deed Danzo committed that made him so hated; Danzo did far too many evil things.

The Third Hokage said, "This kind of assassination has seriously disrupted the normal operation of Konoha!"

With so many ninja killed or wounded, how can the other daimyo continue to trust Konoha?

"What about the Daimyo of the Grass Country? Did the Daimyo of the Grass Country say anything?"
