Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 140 Humanoid Puppet

Ye Guang was given a temporary identity: Fujikita, a genin sent by the village to the front lines of the Land of Rivers.

He will use this new identity to disguise himself as an ordinary Konoha ninja, observe the raid on Sand Port, and gather the most accurate frontline intelligence for the Hokage.

Fujikita was an unremarkable genin who, after graduating from the ninja academy, failed the chunin exams for several years.

While arranging his identity, Yagami saw that Nara Michi had become a squad leader and was recruiting new members.

Of Shinmei's last mission, only Nara Michi survived.

When choosing a team, Ye Guang selected the Nara Deer Team.

Nara Deer didn't seek out teammates from the Ino-Shika-Cho tribal groups, but instead accepted three civilian teammates.

The Nara Deer Squad assembled, and he, carrying a backpack, said to his three teammates:

"This backpack contains a newly manufactured strategic piece of equipment by the Nara clan: a paraglider."

Paragliders grant ninjas the ability to fly, representing another significant contribution of the Nara clan to the village.

I'll be piloting a paraglider. Who among you would like to learn paragliding?

Ye Guang was stunned. He had clearly donated the paraglider to the village, so how could the Nara clan claim that it was their important contribution to the village?

The Nara deer were said to have been created by the Nara clan, but it wasn't said that they invented them; they were just playing with words.

To conceal his identity as a member of the secret service, Ye Guang did not show himself.

The female ninja, Zhenli, stepped forward: "I'm willing to learn paragliding!"

Zhenli is very petite and has an adorable baby face.

Nara Deer didn't ask anyone else, and said:
"We have five days to master the use of paragliders. After five days, we will carry out the raid on Shapo Port."

If Sandport is destroyed, Sunagakure will face a steel shortage, and the Land of Wind's foreign trade will be severely damaged.

A regular Konoha squad will explain the mission details and emphasize its importance.

Unlike the Dark Division, the squad leader will only tell you the time, place, and objective, and nothing else.

For the past five days, Ye Guang and another team member have been idly practicing together.

Nara deer trains Chin-Kuri in paragliding operations.

Five days later, in the darkness of night, the Nara Deer Squad arrived outside the camp.

There were about 1000 ninjas outside the main camp, and the front-line camp had deployed half of its troops.

Led by Vice Commander-in-Chief Sakumo Hatake, 600 ninja engaged the Sand Ninja head-on, stalling for time.

Led by Commander-in-Chief Nara Shikazu, 400 ninjas launched a surprise attack on the rear port of Sapo using paragliders.

This is a major operation.

As for Tsunade, she was responsible for guarding the main camp and was always at the front-line medical station.

The hot winds of the Land of Wind blew incessantly, and paragliders took off one after another.

The Nara Deer Squad balanced the weight, with Zhen Li carrying Fujikita and Nara Deer carrying another small member as they took off.

Zhenli carefully tied the rope to Tengbei, and then piloted the paraglider into the air.

Ye Guang could sense Zhen Li's tension behind her; her muscles were taut.

“Zhenli, I’ve seen your training. You don’t need to use your whole body, right? You only need to control the control rope.”

Zhenli knew it too, but she just couldn't control it. Her legs and waist were suddenly straining.

“I’m not this nervous when I fly alone, but it’s different when I’m with you. If we crash, we’ll both die.”

Ye Guang glanced down at the ground more than 200 meters below and thought to himself that he had absolute defense and might not necessarily die.

Once they flew into the clouds and could no longer see the ground, Zhenli became more skilled and relaxed slightly.

Two hundred paragliders floated above the clouds like a dense flock of geese.

The cold wind whistled past my ears as the paraglider sped along.

"Zhenli, I heard you're already a Chunin."

“Yes, I just passed the Chunin Exams. It’s easy to get promoted during the war; some of my classmates have already become Special Jonin,” Zhenli said. “Fujikawa, you should work hard too. I’ve heard that some ninjas are the ones who accumulate experience and then suddenly become stronger.”

Not all ninjas reach their peak at 20; some are at their strongest at 30.

Ye Guang said, "30 years old? I'd be almost dead by then."

Many mediocre ninjas can develop considerable strength through long-term accumulation, but unfortunately, many more do not have the opportunity to accumulate such strength and die early in some mission.

After flying for a long time, the wind around us grew stronger and stronger.

Zhenli said, "We're almost there! The wind has changed direction! It's a sea breeze!"

As we flew past the last cloud, the distant port of Sapo was brightly lit.

One by one, the paragliders in front of us descended and began to dive.

"Watch out! Captain Miku said the Sand Ninja will counterattack during the dive phase!" Zhen Li said.

"Sorry, I'm a Chunin and you're a Genin, yet you're standing in front of me."

Ye Guang thought Zhen Li was quite kind, and felt guilty for standing in front of him.

Chaos suddenly broke out in Shapo Harbor.

The Sand Ninjas shouted and jumped onto the rooftops and watchtowers, throwing kunai and explosive tags into the air.

Zhenli tried her best to dodge the attacks, but some attacks still went straight for Tengbei.

Ye Guang used a kunai to knock away the Sand Village's kunai, saying, "Zhen Li, don't be nervous. The Sand Village's kunai will fly upwards and become weak and powerless at this height."

"That's true. I'm not used to paragliding combat. The Nara clan's invention is truly amazing."

Ye Guang was displeased; the Nara clan really knew how to pat themselves on the back.

The Nara Deer Squad's mission is to blow up a pier at the dock.

Zhenli's landing was unstable, and Yeguang and Zhenli rolled on the ground.

A Sand Ninja saw the two disheveled individuals, jumped over, and lunged at them with a kunai in hand.

Ding!
After the crisp sound, the Sand Ninja lowered their heads in fear.

His kunai failed to pierce the heart of the Konoha ninja!

With a backhand motion, Ye Guang slashed the throat of a Sand Ninja with a kunai.

He patted his chest and said, "Luckily, I had a breastplate under my vest, otherwise I would have been ambushed by that Sand Ninja."

Zhenli had no suspicions, only that Tengbei was well prepared, and quickly untied the ropes from the two of them.

"Get in the water! Dive under the pier!"

Nara Deer shouted, signaling his team to jump into the sea.

The other two squads of the company were responsible for holding back the Sand Ninja on the pier, while the Nara Deer Squad jumped into the sea and set up explosive tags under the bridge.

After swimming in the icy seawater for more than ten seconds, Ye Guang suddenly sensed a dark shadow swimming extremely fast.

"There are puppets! Fish-shaped puppets!"

The dark seawater beneath the bridge is the domain of the fish-shaped puppets.

Suddenly, Ye Guang noticed that another team member was rushing towards the fish-shaped puppet without regard for anything else.

That's incredibly reckless.

and many more!

Ye Guang noticed that the team member's movements were a bit strange. He didn't go to meet them proactively; he was a bit stiff. Why was that?

He's been controlled by the Shadow Technique!
He collided with the fish-shaped puppet, his body was pierced by the puppet's blade, but he also managed to grab the puppet.

Ye Guang suddenly turned his head and saw the Nara deer with only its upper half floating on the water.

Nara Michi used the seawater to conceal his shadow imitation technique.

Is this some kind of shadow magic used to treat subordinates as human puppets?
