Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

I had to spend some time luring them out of Kyoto, disguised as a member of the Rain Ninja's secret service, and successfully assassinated the two without causing too much property damage or casualties in the Land of Rivers.

The daimyo of the land of rivers had no excuse to launch an attack.

Captain Yellow Dog nodded, took the mission scroll, quickly glanced at it, and said, "You did a good job, Fox."

He put down the scroll, picked up another scroll, and said, "Here is a new and more difficult task, which you are to complete."

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Is this the rhythm of the battlefield? There's not even a chance to catch your breath, one mission after another."

It's also possible that he spent too much time in Kyoto, the land of rivers, and the Yellow Dog Squad had a lot of backlogged missions.

Upon receiving the scroll, Ye Guang saw that the mission involved rescuing a Shimura clan chunin during a prisoner exchange ceremony.

Prisoners are rarely captured in ninja village wars. More than half a month into the war, five people from Konoha and four from Sunagakure have been captured.

The Sand Village ninja proposed exchanging prisoners.

The problem is that after Konoha captured the Sand Ninja, they were sent directly to the Land of Earth to be experimented on by Orochimaru, the founder of Root.

Orochimaru's side is in dire need of test subjects.

Orochimaru likes to use at least fifty test subjects as control groups when conducting experiments.

He was too rough; that wasn't an experiment, it was a survivor game.

Konoha had no prisoners, so the exchange couldn't be completed. Therefore, the Anbu had to steal the target during the exchange ceremony.

Ye Guang asked, "Captain, the mission scroll says to rescue the Shimura clan's Chunin, but what about the other four prisoners?"

"Try to save them."

Ye Guang said, "Oh, I see. That means it's something that can be saved or not."

The yellow dog captain nodded; the fox's comprehension ability was quite strong. The yellow dog said:

"This Shimura clan Chunin acted recklessly in order to complete the mission and was captured by the Sand Ninja. We must rescue him."

Ye Guang asked, "Why would he act so rashly?"

The Shimura clan ninjas are now practically half Celestial Dragons, so there's no need for them to fight so desperately.

The yellow dog said:

"This Shimura clan chunin has an older brother who is a strategist at the command post."

When the elder brother from the same clan was chatting with him, he let slip that the deputy commander-in-chief, Hatake Sakumo, and the commander-in-chief, the katana clan chief, had a disagreement about something, and in the end, they couldn't reach a conclusion.

Sakumo Hatake suggested that a ninja qualification examination system should be implemented on the front lines during this war in the Land of Rivers.

As a Chunin squad leader, having led his team on 2 A-rank missions and 20 B-rank missions, he will be recommended by command to become a Special Jonin.

As a special Jonin squad leader, having led his team on two S-rank missions and 20 A-rank missions, he will be recommended by command to become a Jonin.

This Chunin from the Shimura clan, having heard rumors of the mission, wanted to rush ahead and complete an extremely difficult A-rank mission, so he recklessly advanced and was captured.

With such clear and straightforward promotion criteria, even Yagami himself was tempted, let alone ordinary ninjas.

After becoming the leader of the Dark Division, Ye Guang completed one S-rank mission, three A-rank missions, and several B-rank missions.

The mission that resulted in Kato Dan's death was rated S-rank by the Anbu.

Assassinating the Left General of the River Country and the Empress Dowager is an A-level mission.

After the Nine-Tails was transferred and sealed, I followed Captain Yellow Dog to protect Princess Uzumaki under the Nine-Tails, and finally received an A-level mission evaluation.

The mission was rated A for investigating information about Sunagakure in the Yoshioka Mountains of the Land of Rain.

In the early stages, when I was still a team member, I participated in missions such as the Whirlpool Country mission and the Battle of Ushigayama. My contributions were relatively small, and I was assigned a B-level mission rating.

According to the review system mentioned by Hatake Sakumo, he was not qualified to become a Jonin, but his goal was clear.

As long as you keep completing missions, you will eventually become a Jonin, qualified to attend Jonin team meetings, and enter the village's elite class.

"Captain, the rumors about the censorship system haven't spread widely, have they?"

"No, it was just a disagreement in the command tent. It's that Shimura chuuni's own fault for prying into the command's secrets; he ended up getting what he deserved."

After leaving Captain Yellow Dog's tent, Ye Guang went to check on the battlefield situation.

The situation in the war in the land of rivers is very unclear.

The Sand Village dispatched more than 3500 Sand Ninja, while the Konoha Country camp only had 2000 ninja.

A puppeteer can manipulate several puppets, and their combat power is equivalent to that of two or three people.

Konoha is simultaneously maintaining the war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Rivers, while also having to guard against the restless Hidden Mist Village.

After the Third Mizukage died in Uzushiogakure, the village was unable to elect a Fourth Mizukage who was agreed upon by all parties, resulting in fierce internal struggles. Kirigakure was temporarily governed by Elder Genshi.

Intelligence from the secret service indicates that Kirigakure is preparing to divert attention from its internal conflicts by waging war against Konoha.

If things go wrong, Konoha might have to fight on three fronts.

Chapter 123 Feigned Exchange of Prisoners

In the war between ninja villages, the vast majority of ninjas would rather commit suicide with explosive tags than be captured.

After being captured, they would face brutal torture.

Every village has a torture department where ninjas will show prisoners what sadism is all about.

The Dark Division employs underhanded methods and has shady objectives; the Torture Division itself is shrouded in darkness.

Konoha has a group of Yamanaka clan members who are skilled in torture, directly extracting information from corpses, which makes them seem gentler.

Other ninja villages rarely use this method; they lack the skills for interrogation and rely entirely on brute force.

The interrogation department would squeeze the last drop of blood and energy from the prisoners, either extracting the intelligence from their minds or extracting their brains themselves.

It's better to commit suicide than to be captured.

The four Sand Ninja prisoners have been handed over to Orochimaru.

Exchanging prisoners is impossible.

The Anbu, however, requested that the Fox Squadron rescue one of the captured Shimura clan Chunin.

It's really difficult.

Ye Guang first went to the interrogation department at the front line and obtained information about four Sand Ninja prisoners, including their height, weight, hair color, and so on.

The interrogation department didn't know where the prisoners went; they only knew that the secret service had taken them away.

Ye Guang mentally reviewed the plan several times and felt that it was almost complete, so he summoned the three squads of the company.

"After more than half a month of fighting between Konoha and Sunagakure, the two sides will hold their first prisoner exchange."

The Sand Ninja prisoners were sent to the Land of Earth by the Anbu, and we have no prisoners to exchange.

Deer, select four people of suitable build from your squadron. Do not use transformation magic; instead, use makeup and disguise to impersonate prisoners who have been tortured beyond recognition by the interrogation department.

The transformation technique might be detected by the Sand Ninja, so it's not a safe option.

Purple Cat, you lead a three-person team disguised as an ordinary Konoha squad carrying out a prisoner exchange mission.

To show their sincerity and avoid escalating into a major war, both sides sent an escort team for each prisoner exchange.

Aries, you and the rest of the group will disguise yourselves as Rain Ninja and launch a surprise attack on the Sand Ninja and Purple Cat Squad who are exchanging prisoners, and rescue the target Chunin.

Konoha Village has some sense of shame.

We couldn't produce prisoners ourselves, and we even killed the Sand Village ninja squad that was exchanging prisoners. Konoha wouldn't do something like that.

But if the Rain Ninja sits on the mountain watching the tigers fight, then uses one tiger to devour the other, disrupting the prisoner exchange between the two villages and hoping for an even more brutal battle, then that's somewhat understandable.

Impersonating ninjas from other villages to carry out clandestine missions is a dirty trick that people from all villages do.

The three squad leaders understood their tasks and went to prepare.

The most important part of Hua Lu's work was the preliminary work. He had to select four people to pretend to be prisoners who were being tortured to the point of near death by the interrogation department.

They can't use the transformation technique yet, lest the Sand Ninja notice something amiss.

When they set off, the deer shaved its head, leaving fifteen crisscrossing cuts on its scalp.

Some of the cuts were bleeding, while others had been treated by a medical ninja and had developed pink scabs.

"Does it hurt?" asked Ye Guang.

"It doesn't hurt. The leaf monkey broke its own arm and it's still twisted outwards with the joint reversed. It must be in a lot of pain."

Ye Guang's heart tightened.

Ordinary civilian ninjas may not have much talent, but they are serious and work hard.

Ye Guang said, "After this mission is completed, I will apply for a ninjutsu for each of you."

"Thank you, Captain!"

Purple Cat led a small team, disguised as ordinary ninjas, wearing headbands, each carrying a prisoner on their shoulder, heading south towards the place agreed upon with the Sand Ninja.

Beside a river in the northern part of the land of rivers.

Purple Cat spotted the Sand Ninja on the other side of the canyon from afar.

Five Sand Ninja, each with a Konoha prisoner at their feet.

These prisoners were no better off than the Sand Ninja prisoners carried by the Purple Cats; they were covered in wounds and in extremely poor condition.

Their wounds were swollen and bruised, and the toxins had not yet been neutralized.

The Sand Village's torture ninjas particularly enjoy using poison, including various neurotoxins.

After arriving at the other side of the canyon, Purple Cat and the others also released the 'prisoners'.

The Sand Village squad leader said, "People of Konoha, let's exchange prisoners."

But the purple cat said:

"Don't rush! The wound of the prisoner at your feet is oozing pus, and the area around the wound is dark purple."

Is this some kind of trick? Are they planning to poison these prisoners halfway through the journey?

The Sand Village squad leader said, "We Sand Villagers are skilled in using poison, so of course we'll apply poison to the torture instruments during interrogations. What, do you want me to take the antidote?"

“Of course we need to detoxify,” Purple Cat emphasized. “We must bring back the prisoners alive.”

"Impossible!" said the Sand Ninja squad leader.

"I'm detoxifying these people now. If you take the serum back, you can use it to develop an antidote."

Don't be so foolish and naive. Either you run faster, or your medical ninjas will be more effective.

I'm here to exchange prisoners, not to give them charity.

To buy time, Purple Cat pulled out a syringe: "In that case, either you run faster, or your medical ninjas will step up their game."

After saying that, Purple Cat injected the venom into the body of the 'Sand Ninja Prisoner' beneath him.

"you!"

Purple Cat successfully muddied the waters, diverting the Sand Ninja's attention elsewhere and preventing them from focusing on the authenticity of the prisoners.

After being injected, the leaf monkey's face quickly turned purplish-red, making it impossible to tell whether it was a Sand Ninja prisoner or not.

The purple cat bought enough time for the glow-in-the-dark to develop.

Four figures suddenly rushed out of the rushing river in the canyon!

These people, wearing gas masks from the Rain Ninja, threw out poison gas bombs as soon as they appeared.

The purple poisonous mist from the salamanders spread rapidly across both sides of the canyon.

This is a tool used by the Konoha Anbu to disguise themselves as Rain Ninja. The Anbu captured some Salamanders and extracted their toxins.

In the thick poisonous fog, Nightlight rushed straight towards the Shimura ninja mentioned in the intelligence report.

Under the cover of the poisonous fog, the moonlight secretly formed a mark.

The Self-Binding Curse Seal appeared, locking the Sand Ninja squad leader in place.

The ninja sword pierced through the back of the head and exited through the forehead.

In this way, no one would know that Nightlight had used a sealing technique.

The Sand Ninja closest to Yeguang was kicked far away by Yeguang.
