Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 145 Title 'Bronze Fox'

The main camp of the Sand Ninja.

Luo Sha entered the command tent and met the commander-in-chief, Hai Laozang.

Ebizo asked with a somber expression, "The port of Shapo suffered heavy losses after the surprise attack, right?"

Luo Sha nodded and said:
"Approximately seven battalions of Konoha ninja, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Nara Shikazuki, launched a surprise attack on Sapo Port using flying ninja tools."

I rushed over and fought the leaders of the Konoha Ino-Shika-Cho trio, only managing to cripple one of the Akimichi clan leaders' arms.

At the crucial moment of the pursuit, a Konoha ANBU ninja intercepted the pursuers.

"An ANBU ninja?" Ebizo said, "Did Konoha send an ANBU captain?"

Luo Sha shook his head and said:

"It's not Captain Yellow Dog. He wears a fox mask and has mastered a powerful defensive ninjutsu."

His skin turned copper-red, making his defenses impervious to kunai and ninja swords, and even wind-style techniques were ineffective.

Unlike ninjutsu such as Earth Release: Earth Spear, his ability is instantaneous, requires no hand seals, and is difficult to exploit.

I wanted to use Magnet Release: Gold Sand to capture him, but he also has a powerful Water Release ninjutsu.

The sea conditions were unfavorable for me, so I couldn't pursue it further.

Ordinary Sand Ninja would have absolutely no suitable countermeasures against him.

I believe the command should issue an order specifically targeting him to prevent unnecessary casualties among our Sand Ninja.

I call that Dark One who wears a fox mask, is immune to physical attacks, and whose skin turns a coppery red... Copper Fox.

“Copper Fox…” Ebizo turned to the ninja advisor beside him and said:

"Follow Rasa's advice and remind all the Sand Ninja that if they encounter Konoha's Anbu, Copper Fox, they should not attack in vain. Ninja tools and Wind Release techniques will have no effect on him."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

While Yeguang and Zhenli were hiding in a cave on the cliff by the sea, news about Yeguang quickly spread across both sides of the border of the River Country.

The Konoha Anbu's Bronze Fox possesses immunity to physical attacks. When encountering the Bronze Fox, Sand Ninja should avoid futile attacks and instead focus on binding and capturing it.

This news quickly reached the Konoha front-line camp.

Inside the command post tent.

Nara Kazumi summoned the Yellow Dog Captain and handed him a scroll.

Yellow Dog glanced at the scroll; he already knew the information inside.

Yellow Dog said, "Fox, the captain of the Dark Division, secretly joined the Raid Squad because of a special mission. This is the mission I assigned to him."

"I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief, I cannot disclose the details of the mission."

Nara nokama nodded and said:
"I understand, the Dark Division has its own responsibilities."

After encountering Luo Sha, a disciple of the Wind Shadow, I originally assigned a large squad to cover the rear, but I didn't expect that the squad to be extremely successful in covering the rear.

It was all because of the Bronze Fox's participation in the battle. For this reason, Sunagakure specifically designated the Bronze Fox as a special enemy and made it public to all Sunagakure ninja.

Tell me about the Bronze Fox's strength so I can make an accurate assessment.

The yellow dog captain said:

"This is the first time I've heard that the Copper Fox possesses a secret technique for absolute defense."

This secret technique isn't even mentioned in the village's sealing book. From the description in the intelligence, it seems to be even stronger than the Earth Release: Earth Spear technique from Iwagakure.

The fox possesses exceptional ninjutsu talent, boasting formidable Earth Release and Water Release techniques; perhaps these are secret techniques developed by the Bronze Fox itself.

For ninjas, it's quite common to unlock their own secret techniques once they reach a certain level of strength.

The yellow dog said again:

"It's been a few days since the raid ended. Judging from the Sand Village's reaction, the fox should have escaped. I haven't received any information about the fox, so I wonder if it encountered any problems on its escape route."

Hatake Sakumo thought to himself, "The fox is still alive and well, and even used Puck to send back information."

He glanced at the Nara antlers, then at the other Nara ninjas in the command tent.

There are some scoundrels in the Nara clan who actually use shadow magic to turn their teammates into shadow puppets during battle.

This is something that Sakumo Hatake absolutely cannot tolerate.

He has already launched a secret investigation into the Nara clan; those scoundrels must be found and executed.

In a corner of the tent, Akimichi Yamashiro glanced at his empty left arm and felt a little regretful. If he had mastered the secret technique of absolute defense, would he not have had to lose his arm?
Akimichi Torifu, the father, was originally a high-ranking advisor on par with Danzo and others, but he was seriously wounded on the battlefield early on and had to retire.

As the strongest hammer and shield among the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Akimichi clan has an excessively high rate of injury and disability.

If they hadn't charged so fiercely, Nara and Yamanaka wouldn't have had a chance to unleash their secret techniques.

Nara deer antlers were finally evaluated:
"We should also help promote the name of the Copper Fox to boost the morale of the Konoha ninjas on the front lines."

This ANBU ninja deserves praise for stepping forward without hesitation during the rearguard mission.

Inside a cave on a cliff by the sea, the night-shining figure awaits the retreat of the Sand Ninja.

After the attack on Sandport, several Sand Ninja squads redeployed their outposts and defensive traps around the area.

Ye Guang would occasionally go out to scout and record all the intelligence, which would be another achievement upon his return.

Ye Guang also traded a large fish he caught from a nearby village for a set of clothes and a needle and thread, which Zhen Li used to mend the paraglider that had been damaged by kunai.

While Zhenli was mending the paraglider, Yeguang chatted with her: "Zhenli, how many years have it been since you graduated from the Ninja Academy?"

Zhenli said, "I am 15 years old this year, and it has been 4 years since I graduated from the Ninja Academy."

"15 years old?"

Seeing the fox sizing up her height, Zhenli said, "I grew up in an orphanage in Konoha. The director said that there was a period when the orphanage was very poor when I was a child, and everyone was hungry, so I was malnourished and short, only 1.5 meters tall."

Ye Guang asked, "Doesn't the orphanage receive subsidies from the village?"

"No, the orphanage was started and maintained by the kind-hearted director on her own with great difficulty. I am now sending half of my mission reward back to the orphanage, hoping that the children there can eat better now."

Ye Guang felt that Zhen Li was both pitiful and strong.

"Let me teach you ninjutsu. Your strength is a bit weak. If you don't get stronger, how will you earn mission rewards? If all the children from your orphanage end up malnourished, that won't be good."

Zhenli's chakra nature happens to be earth, and Yeguang taught her Earth Release: Earth Fish Reflection Technique and Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear.

These two ninjutsu, one for escape and one for attack, are enough for Zhen Li to handle a Chunin mission.

Zhenli has a good talent for ninjutsu and quickly learned the two techniques.

These two ninjutsu are Ye Guang's core techniques, and he has gained considerable experience with them. Zhen Li has learned his ninjutsu, and her Earth Release skills will become even stronger in the future.

After gathering enough intelligence on the newly established defenses at Shapo Harbor, Ye Guang prepared to return to the main camp.

She chose an evening, controlled the paraglider, and used ropes to secure herself in front of her, with the nightlight shining in front of her.

The two took to the air and flew towards the border of the River Country.

Upon arriving near the camp, Zhenli maneuvered her paraglider to land ahead of schedule.

As soon as he landed, ANBU ninjas appeared.

"Captain Copper Fox! Captain Yellow Dog wants you to see him as soon as you return."

Bronze Fox?

Why do I call myself Bronze Fox?
　I've been waiting for book reviews for ages, looking for titles like "Konoha Copper Cudgel," "Konoha Steel Bean," "Iron Bean," and "Konoha Steel Beast," but I haven't gotten a single decent one. The only one that caught my eye was "Copper Dio," but unfortunately, I can't use it. I'll stick with the title I came up with myself: Copper Fox.
