Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 67 Is There Darkness in the Village?

Cold sweat dripped down the bottom edge of the mask and onto the yellow dog's chest.

Sweat dripped from the iron vest on his chest, gleaming blindingly in the sunlight.

This was the first time Ye Guang had ever seen the yellow dog so disheveled, and he was sweating profusely.

The veins on Captain Yellow Dog's hand, which was holding the scroll, were bulging.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "The synergy between Thousand Hand Cypress and Whirlpool Yu Jia has finally taken effect?"

Nightlight cannot allow the Konoha leadership to monopolize power, otherwise his sphere of influence will become increasingly smaller in the future.

The annihilation of the Uzumaki clan was one thing, but I was just a nobody back then. The Senju clan absolutely could not be destroyed silently; it had to retain a certain degree of influence to restrain the higher-ups.

If Senju Nawaki knew the truth, the Senju clan would surely retaliate.

After pondering for a few seconds, Captain Yellow Dog said, "The ninjas skilled in Earth Release, stay! The rest of you, return to the village!"

Ye Guang immediately understood what Captain Yellow Dog was going to do.

A small group of elites, disguised as Iwa ninja, ruthlessly eliminated their own people from Konoha!

The Dark Division is an assassination special forces unit.

Part of the deterrent effect from the higher-ups comes from the fact that the Hokage and his advisors are actually capable of killing their own people.

Which high-ranking official doesn't have a few lives on their own people?
As luck would have it, Ye Guang was skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels), which the captain knew, so he stayed behind as well.

Purple Cat and the other two team members left. Purple Cat turned around reluctantly and went back to the village alone, still feeling a little out of sorts.

The group of five followed Captain Yellow Dog back to the Land of Grass.

The atmosphere in the group was too tense.

On the way, Rat sensed the ninja's deployment and asked Captain Yellow Dog for instructions, only to be scolded by Captain Yellow Dog for two minutes.

The yellow dog captain's neck veins bulged, and he spoke very harshly, causing the other team members to hurriedly lower their heads.

The yellow dog captain concluded by saying:

"The Hokage and Danzo are personally heading to the front-line camp! Just to clean up the mess for us!"

Can anyone tell me why Senju Hashira knew our information?! Why was he able to lead us in circles for so long?!
Why did the Senju clan ninjas still find out something about Senju Kashiwa and keep meeting in secret, even though she was dead?

It failed! It all failed!

Yako heard some bad news: the Third Hokage and Danzo were both coming.

They either nip the trouble in the bud or confront the Senju clan directly on the front lines.

Blocking the transmission of information between the front lines and Konoha can temporarily prevent the Senju clan from learning the truth.

Captain Yellow Dog said, "As the commander-in-chief, Advisor Mitokado Hoshino has noticed something bad and immediately dispatched Senju Nawaki. We must intercept Senju Nawaki!"

Upon arriving at the front lines, all six changed into Iwa ninja clothing and headbands.

Dark red lining, tan vest.

This is a traditional skill of the Anbu: to deal with village ninjas by disguising themselves as ninjas from an enemy village and executing them.

Upon arriving at a location more than 20 kilometers northwest of the Konoha camp, Huang Quan ordered his men to stop.

他 说:

"According to the information from advisor Mitokado Homura, the Senju Nawaki squad will pass through here on their way back to the main camp."

I'll personally set a trap here, ensuring that the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree won't be able to find it.

Three of you go one after another to lure the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree, gradually drawing it into the trap, and then use explosive tags to kill it.

The bait must be realistically presented; it must truly die at the hands of the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree, without any faking.

Only in this way can we dispel the doubts of Senju Nawaki and Orochimaru, and make Senju Nawaki rush over recklessly.

From now on, the bait must constantly remind himself that he is the Iwa ninja.

Seeing the hesitation of his subordinates, Huang Quan continued:
Orochimaru can only teach geniuses; his teaching method is laissez-faire and guiding.

Orochimaru always covered for Orochimaru's team during missions, ensuring he didn't interfere with Nawaki Senju's judgment. Nawaki constantly talked about becoming Hokage and was particularly careful to protect his teammates, often leading the charge.

Not only must Senju Nawaki die, but all the Senju ninjas on the front lines must die!
The sealing of the Nine-Tails is urgent, and no one can interfere with it, not even the young patriarch of the Senju clan!

Finally, the yellow dog said, "Let's decide who will be the bait first. Is there anyone among you who is willing to become the bait for the sake of sealing the Nine-Tailed Fox in the village?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Guang was the first to raise his hand.

Dying at the hands of Senju Nawaki was one of his plans.

The Third Hokage and Danzo personally went to the front line, while the commander-in-chief, Mitokado Homura, secretly laid out a trap. One of the six elite captains of the Anbu, Kinjiro, personally set up the trap. Senju Nawaki was not certain to die, but at least his chances of survival were slim.

If we don't extract his abilities now, it will be too late.

“Very good, Fox, you have lived up to the high regard that Black Chimpanzee and I have for you.”

He lowered his head to avoid revealing his dissatisfaction through his eyes.

The chimpanzee squad leader was alright; before the surgery, he recommended me to be the acting squad leader, which made things much easier for me.

You, Captain Yellow Dog, said you value me, but does that mean you're sending me on even more certain-death missions?

If you genuinely cultivate and utilize cattle and horses, you can still distinguish between them even in the dark.

The three weakest members of the ANBU were used as bait.

On the border of the Land of Grass, Orochimaru said, "Let's go, Nawaki, this reconnaissance mission is over."

As before, Orochimaru didn't even glance at Nawaki's two teammates.

In this mission, one member of the Sarutobi clan and one member of the Shimura clan performed terribly; they did nothing but drag the team down.

If it weren't for Nawaki's outstanding performance, these two would have been dead long ago.

Orochimaru suffers from a severe aversion to stupidity and hates idiots the most.

Rope Tree nodded and silently turned away.

Orochimaru asked Nawaki, "What's wrong, Nawaki? Is something on your mind?"

No...no.

Rope Tree felt a pang of panic, but quickly regained his composure and acted as if nothing was amiss.

Before leaving the camp, a Senju clan ninja approached him, wanting to say something to him.

However, the clansman only uttered the four words "Whirlpool Clan" before falling into a coma due to the poison.

The medical ninja rushed in and took the clansman away.

Tsunade was sent out on a mission, and Nawaki was very worried, wondering if that clansman would recover.

At the same time, why did that clansman say the words "Uzumaki Clan"?

After leaving the camp, Rope Tree kept thinking.

The Senju clan's unique water-style distress jutsu, the sudden dispatch of clansmen to carry out missions, and the last words "Uzumaki clan" heard before leaving all made Nawaki feel that something bad must have happened.

I felt like there was a large net around me, slowly tightening and closing in on me.

He trusted Orochimaru, but not the other ninjas in the village.

Especially his two companions, one from the Sarutobi clan and the other from the Shimura clan.

Originally, he wanted to team up with a member of the Kurama clan and a commoner ninja, but he failed and the village assigned him two unfamiliar teammates.

He understood the village's intentions. These two teammates were also geniuses in their respective ninja clans, and the village wanted him to get along well with them.

He is also willing to cooperate with his teammates and help each other.

However, the village's abrupt arrangement still made him unhappy.

Nawaki suddenly asked his teacher, "Orochimaru-sensei, do you think there's darkness in the village?"

The Sarutobi and Shimura clan teammates felt a pang of anxiety, wondering why Nawaki had asked such a question.

Did Rope Tree discover something?
