Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 123 Feigned Prisoner Exchange (First Subscription Requested)

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, the toxins still lingering. The Sand Village's torture ninjas were particularly fond of using poison, 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.

The kick looked heavy, but it didn't break any bones.

The Sand Ninja threw out the poisonous mist and saw the Konoha Ninjas fighting fiercely with the Rain Ninjas on the opposite bank.

The Sand Ninja quickly got up and fled the battle.

Nightlight deliberately let the Sand Ninja go, allowing him to send back information about the Rain Ninja's sneak attack.

Konoha wants it all, which is really putting the execution ninjas like Yagami in a difficult position.

They wanted to exchange the prisoners, but they didn't want other villages to know that Konoha had experimented on the prisoners, and they didn't want to bear the infamy of sabotaging the prisoner exchange.

After the battle, four Sand Ninja corpses lay on the ground.

Two Sand Ninja were extremely fierce and, disregarding their own lives, killed the Konoha prisoners beneath their feet before they died.

There's nothing we can do about it.

They rescued three prisoners, mainly the prisoners of the Shimura clan, and their mission was more than accomplished.

Ye Guang said, "Let's go! Get Shimura back to the front-line medical station before the poison takes effect!"

Removing his Rain Ninja disguise, Night Light donned the Root mask and rushed towards the main camp.

The four prisoners, along with a leaf monkey with a broken and everted leg, were carried away.

Ye Guang said to the langur on the chimpanzee's shoulder, "Langur, you're really pushing yourself too hard."

To complete the mission, the leaf monkey really went to great lengths to kill itself.
