Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 158 The War in the Land of Rivers Ends (Part 2)

The battle lines of both sides stretched for nearly 2 kilometers.

No ordinary ninja dared to interfere in the battle between the commanders-in-chief.

In battles between Jonin, there are few ordinary ninjas around.

The battles between ordinary ninjas were crowded and brutal.

On the battlefield, the ninjas automatically avoid powerful enemies and, under the captain's command, seek out suitable opponents.

This is where a ninja's judgment and experience are tested. If a genin mistakenly enters a jonin's battlefield, he will be killed by the aftershocks of ninjutsu, dying a meaningless death.

Lengthening the battle line also prevents the enemy's Jonin from rushing into our Genin and wreaking havoc.

Sakumo Hatake drew his White Fang short sword and led the charge towards Konoha's left flank and Sand Ninja's right flank.

A white blade of light, several meters long, appeared on the battlefield, and two Sand Ninja squads instantly perished within its reach.

Putting aside Sakumo Hatake's idealistic personality, Sakumo Hatake's fighting style is extremely aesthetically pleasing.

His swift body-flickering technique, lightning-fast reflexes, dazzling blade light, and invincible aura made the surrounding ninjas feel safe.

Many ninja titles are earned by defeating weaker opponents.

In the original work, the Yellow Flash killed 50 Iwa ninjas at once. The strength of the Iwa ninjas is unknown, but they were all killed with a kunai, but the number was terrifying.

Zabuza the Demon killed not only all his classmates, but also all of them.

Seeing Sakumo Hatake dominate newbies made Yagami really want to try it himself.

Ye Guang said, "The Purple Cat Squad is in charge of recording, the Aries Squad is in charge of protecting the Purple Cat Squad, and the Flower Deer Squad, come with me!"

The deer's aura changed instantly; she drew her ninja sword and excitedly followed the fox captain.

The luminous light followed Hatake Sakumo's side, widening the opening that Hatake Sakumo had torn open.

Sakumo Hatake charged ahead, while Yoru intercepted the Sand Ninja attempting to fill the gap in the battle line from the flanks.

One after another, Water Release: Water Severing Waves shot out, each sweeping away at least a small squad of Sand Ninja.

White Fang Blade is adept at severing enemies at the waist, as is Water Severing Wave.

One white and one blue, exuding a violent aesthetic.

Sakumo Hatake felt the pressure on his left side suddenly lessen, and seeing that it was the bronze fox, he realized that's how it is.

Copper Fox's absolute defense and its powerful water-style attacks made it impossible for Sand Ninja to cope.

Some of the stronger Sand Ninja used the Substitution Jutsu before the Water Severing Wave, but ended up in the hands of the Shika Team. Shika Team accurately located their targets and executed them.

Suddenly, Ye Guang noticed a Sand Ninja Jonin, who was the one who had taken Yekura away.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "If I can't beat Luo Sha, can't I beat you?"
After withstanding a barrage of wind blades and kunai, Nightlight rushed to the front of the Jonin.

The Sand Village Jonin wondered, "Who is this God of Slaughter? Have I offended him before?"

Why is the momentum rushing towards me so angry?
With a dodge and a strike, he smashed the head of a Sand Ninja Jonin.

In just over ten minutes, the reinforcements led by Hatake Sakumo broke through the right flank of the Sand Ninja.

The right flank of the Sand Village collapsed, making it impossible to maintain the stability of the battle line. A large number of Konoha ninjas then infiltrated behind the Sand Village.

The Sand Village ninjas are forced to confront Konoha ninjas who may appear from all directions.

In the center of the battlefield, Luo Sha saw that his right flank had been pierced, and then he saw the dazzling white blade light. He thought to himself, "This is bad."

It's over. Sunagakure is finished in this war.

He and Ebizo exchanged a glance, knowing that preserving their manpower was the wisest course of action.

Luo Sha shouted, "Advisor! I'll cover the retreat! Please organize an orderly withdrawal, Advisor!"

Ebizo's secret passage to Rasa is worth cooperating with; he is the most outstanding young man in the village.

It's a pity that he and his sister are destined to send Camel Thorn to the position of Wind Shadow, and even if Luo Sha tries to please him, he will not gain his support.

Ebizo glanced in the direction of White Fang. White Fang had appeared here, and he was worried about Camel Thorn.

Luo Sha formed hand seals, and a massive wave of gold dust stretching over a hundred meters rushed towards Akimichi Castle and the slug.

Akimichi Yamashiro and the slugs were forced to retreat in a short time.

Looking towards the main battlefield, Ye Guang realized that while gigantification wasn't very efficient in one-on-one combat, it was a deadly weapon on the battlefield.

Rasa's desperate act killed many Konoha ninja, especially several Konoha strategists.

Yako saw Nara Umeka in a disheveled state.

She was simply not up to the task of participating in a war of that magnitude.

The Sand Ninja were routed, leaving behind waves of rearguard Fire Squadrons as they retreated into the depths of the desert.

Hatake Sakumo led his elite troops in a counter-charge, once again breaking through the right flank of the Sand Ninja.

The left and central main forces of the Sand Village might be able to retreat, but the right wing must remain here.

The fight lasted for half an hour before Ye Guang finally withdrew his fist.

The blood plasma on the fist was unusually viscous.

Ye Guang was panting heavily; after a long battle, his chakra was almost depleted.

The battle raged from the Gobi Desert on the border of the Land of Rivers all the way into the desert of the Land of Wind.

Countless Sand Ninja corpses lay along the way.

Until Chiyo brought reinforcements, the Konoha army, unaccustomed to the desert environment and lacking sufficient fresh water, ceased their pursuit.

The war is only one meeting away from ending.

The commanders from Konoha gathered beside an oasis.

Nara Shika remained silent, not looking at anyone, lost in thought as he gazed at the water's surface.

Sakumo Hatake abolished the ninjutsu censorship system, completely breaking with Nara Shikaku.

As for Tsunade, even if she figured it out, she didn't want to get involved.

Ye Guang approached the yellow dog and whispered, "Captain, should we spread the word that Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure, and her daughter-in-law have been killed to the Sunagakure ninja?"

After hearing this, Huang Quan made no attempt to keep it a secret and spoke directly in front of the commanders:

"Fox, go spread the word. Tell everyone that Deputy Commander Sakumo killed Chiyo's son, and that you killed Chiyo's daughter-in-law."

The battlefield at Hakuno River is quite far away; perhaps the Sand Village ninja still harbored some hope of success there.

Yako couldn't help but glance at Hatake Sakumo.

Yellow Dog is trying to steal the credit. The Anbu killed Chiyo's daughter-in-law, making Hatake Sakumo's achievements seem less significant.

Fortunately, Sakumo Hatake is a good person. If it were any other high-ranking official, Yoru would have been deeply resented.

Ye Guang hurriedly left to arrange for the dissemination of the message.

Tsunade looked at Sakumo Hatake and Copper Fox more often.

The Camel Thorn Couple actually died in this war, and Konoha won a complete and utter victory.

Sakumo Hatake showed no sign of joy, not because the bronze fox had shared in his war merits, but because he didn't care about such things.

Nara Shikanobu's attitude made him very uncomfortable.

The rumors that the Nara clan manipulated their comrades were not spread by him.

Only he, Nara Shikanobu, Tsunade, and the Anbu knew about this; even his assistant was unaware.

Nara Shikaku had a ruthless ANBU assassinate a problematic Nara ninja, at which point Hatake Sakumo became known as someone who broke the rules.

The news of the Camel Thorn couple's murder was relayed back to the Sand Ninja forces immediately through Sand Ninja prisoners who had 'luckily' escaped.

Chiyo, who was leading the support team, listened to the Sand Ninja's report in disbelief.

"Evidence! I need evidence!"

Soon, news came from Konoha that they were willing to exchange the corpses of the Camel Thorn Couple for the corpses of several Jonin from Konoha.

Chiyo looked at Ebizo in horror, and Ebizo lowered his head.

Luo Sha, standing to the side, looked sorrowful, but a hint of... relief flashed in his eyes.
Within Sunagakure, the two factions of puppeteers and secret ninjas have been locked in a constant struggle of open and covert conflict.

With Camelthorn dead, Rasa, the ninja of the secret techniques, lost his biggest rival. After several days of confirmation and discussion, the Sand Village finally agreed to negotiate.

The Konoha troops withdrew in an orderly manner and left the desert.

Upon returning from the desert, Captain Yellow Dog summoned the fox.

He examined the battlefield record scroll carefully and asked, "Are the details of Hatake Sakumo's abilities all in the scroll?"

A moment of confusion flashed in the yellow dog's eyes. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Hatake Sakumo's strength, but rather that he was imagining how he would kill Camel Thorn if it were him.

The hypothetical result is that it is almost impossible.

Ye Guang said, "Captain, Hatake Sakumo is too strong. His chakra short sword technique tore apart all the puppets. No matter how exquisite the puppet is, it is useless after it is turned into parts."

The yellow dog nodded; Hatake Sakumo was indeed formidable.

"On the flank of the battlefield, Hatake Sakumo killed Camelthorn, an elite Jonin from Sunagakure."

On the main battlefield, Sakumo Hatake played a decisive role.

He was the one who made the greatest contribution in the war against the land of rivers.

Before Sakumo Hatake arrived with reinforcements, Konoha and Sunagakure exchanged casualties, resulting in heavy losses.

On the main battlefield, Konoha lost at least 500 ninjas.

Without Sakumo Hatake, the numbers would have been even more dire.

"It's fortunate you killed Camelthorn's wife, otherwise all the credit for the battle would have gone to Hatake Sakumo."

After the troops returned to the main camp, the command post was very busy, but the Fox Company was idle.

Nightlight gathered three squad leaders.

"The war in the land of rivers is about to end, and I will apply for a short leave of absence for you."

Don't slack off during this holiday.

Purple Cat, Aries, and Deer, after you go back, each of you should make a plan to improve the strength of your team.

I applied for a few ninjutsu techniques for you last time, but it's far from enough.

Taking advantage of this great victory and our squadron's outstanding performance, I will apply for another round of ninjutsu for you.

Each person, based on their own abilities, completes two ninjutsu techniques: one offensive and one defensive.

Alternatively, you can teach each other ninjutsu to complete your offensive and defensive skills, and then apply for some powerful B-rank or even A-rank ninjutsu.

Purple Cat, Aries, you both have your own secret techniques.

"Think about how you can enhance your secret techniques. Just ask, and I'll apply to the Dark Division."

The three squad leaders left.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "I've already earned a title, and I'm considered a big shot in the Anbu. I think Captain Yellow Dog wouldn't refuse to help his subordinates with some ninjutsu."

The camp was rather deserted.

Approximately 2000 Konoha ninja entered the battlefield in the Land of Rivers. After nearly half a year of fierce fighting, more than 900 of them were killed.

While Sunagakure suffered heavy losses in this battle, Konoha was not having an easy time either.

At night, a figure entered the glow-in-the-dark tent.

Nightlight was looking at the recent mission reports of the Fox Squadron behind the table.

"Purple Cat, have you figured out a reinforcement plan for your team so quickly?"

"Um...uh..."

Seeing the purple cat's hesitant expression, Ye Guang asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just took a shower."

"Huh?" Ye Guang glanced at the tent flap, which Purple Cat had lowered.

With the war won, everyone relaxed.

"Then I'll go take a shower too."

The purple cat said, "I can't wait any longer, I don't mind that you're not good enough."

"Hmm? She's not wearing anything underneath? Looks like she really can't wait..."

Half an hour later, Purple Cat, panting heavily, pressed herself against Nightlight's chest and said, "By the way, Captain, I have some plans to increase my strength. Could you give me some advice?"

"Then I need to dig deeper into you before I can give you any advice, don't you think?"

Another half hour passed, and the purple cat pleaded for mercy while remaining dazed.

"Purple Cat, now tell me your ideas for improving your strength. This time, I'll really give you some advice."

"Captain, I come from a mountain tribe, and I originally specialized in the secret arts of the mountain tribe."

A large part of the power of the mountain's secret techniques comes from the combined efforts of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

I entered the Dark Side alone, without the Ino-Shika-Cho trio or suitable teammates, so I had to make some changes.

The foundation of the secret arts of the mountains is powerful mental strength, which is my strength.

Captain, do you think if I learn some illusion magic, it can make up for the lack of teammates like Ino-Shika-Cho?

Illusionist ninjas are also very strong and well-suited to the ANBU's combat style.

Nightlight nodded repeatedly. He explained that Kurenai Yuhi in the original story was a genjutsu-type ninja, relatively rare in Konoha.

"That's a good idea. With strong mental power, try learning illusion magic and see how it goes. Maybe you're a genius at illusion magic."

Genjutsu ninjas are relatively rare, and genjutsu often plays a surprisingly effective role in ninja battles.

I will apply for an illusion spell for you to fully unleash your potential.

After playing with the purple cat for a while, Ye Guang got up and continued looking at the scroll.

The next day, all three teams submitted their reinforcement plans.

Ye Guang went to find Captain Yellow Dog.

Captain Yellow Dog glanced at the ninjutsu reward application and quickly signed it. He said:
"Some techniques are available in the Dark Side bases, but not on the front lines."

Illusion techniques, in particular, are quite precious. I will give these ninjutsu to your squadron after I return to the village.

Fox, come with me on a mission.

The Sand Village is about to negotiate with us, but the negotiating team is small; otherwise, it could easily escalate into a major war.

Together, you and I will act as the Hokage's eyes to witness the negotiation process and its outcome.

"it is good."

Nightlight has become Yellow Dog's number one subordinate.

Captain Yellow Dog gave him all seven ninjutsu he had applied for without hesitation.

I should have applied for more; anyway, Huang Quan signed it without looking at it carefully.

Yellow Dog trusts Luminous very much, and Luminous carefully maintains that trust.

He will not break this trust in the short term, and this trust can bring him a continuous stream of resources.

These seven ninjutsu can also be learned by Ye Guang; this is a perk for a company commander.

If you can become the captain, you'll get even more benefits.

As for the incident where Huang Quan used the izakaya Qiaoyi to reprimand him, he kept it deep in his heart. As long as Huang Quan didn't take any real action, he wouldn't do anything out of line.

At the entrance of the camp, Ye Guang spotted the negotiating team.

Commander-in-Chief: Nara Kazuno, two staff officers, Yellow Dog, and Night Light.

Tsunade was busy in the medical tent. Except for the final battle, Tsunade usually did not go to the battlefield.

Negotiations require a basic level of sincerity; the number of people is small, so a battle is unlikely.

Even in battle, these five people would be difficult for Sunagakure to deal with, whether they were attacking or fleeing.
