Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 163 You're a Bit Extreme

"First question: The Hokage has ordered you to kill the daughter of advisor Mitokado Homura. How will you complete this mission?"

Don't hesitate, which means immediately expressing your truest thoughts.

Among the Jonin behind Nara Shikazuki, there must be a torture squad ninja who can detect lies.

Night Light immediately replied:

"We must carry out the mission without hesitation."

The crux of the problem, I think, is how she was killed.

Mitokado Homura's daughter, having been taught by her advisor since childhood, would never betray Konoha.

To doubt his daughter is to doubt him.

The Hokage had no choice but to order her execution, possibly because of a scandal involving her that affected the reputation of Advisor Mitokado Homura.

Incest, torture, flaunting wealth in the Hokage Building, and other scandals, once exposed, could end the political life of advisor Mitokado Homura.

Therefore, her death had to be kept secret, unknown to anyone, not even the advisor Mitokado Homura.

I will gather information on Mitokado Homura's whereabouts and assassinate his daughter when he is away from the village and unable to attend to him.

Killing his daughter was to protect him.

More importantly, the body must be disposed of without leaving a trace, so that Advisor Mitokado Homura cannot return and find her.

I don't know fire-style techniques, so I prefer to find a large wild beast, preferably with bones..."

"Stop!" Nara Shikaku quickly interrupted the fox's answer, already finding it somewhat absurd.

He turned to look at the yellow dog. Was the current atmosphere in the Anbu a bit too extreme?
The yellow dog couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, when assassinating someone close to a high-ranking official in the village, the most important thing is to dispose of the body without leaving a trace.

Among the ten Jonin, one of them recalled his performance back then.

When he answered this question, he both pleaded with the Hokage and informed the advisor Mitokado Homura. Compared to that, he still valued his Konoha comrades too much.

There is no standard answer to this kind of question; rather, the answer is used to judge the ninja's decision-making tendencies.

Fox, a secret ninja, tends to be ruthless and decisive in her decision-making, leaving no loopholes.

Nara Deer Antlers then asked a second question:
"You are on a guard duty in the Land of Hot Springs when a Konoha ninja approaches you, asking you to rescue his squad."

If you go to save the Konoha team, the person you are protecting will die.

If you continue to protect them, the Konoha squad will die.

What would you choose?

Night Light's Thoughts: A problem similar to the trolley problem.

A train traveling straight will kill five people, while a train changing course will kill one person. Would you change course?

No matter which option you choose, someone will die.

Night Light immediately replied:

"If we go to rescue the Konoha team, the person we are protecting will die."

In other words, even if I create a shadow clone to save the Konoha team, the person I'm protecting will die because I've lost half of my chakra.

I chose to continue the escort mission and, as the captain, ordered the Konoha ninja who had asked for my help to complete the escort for me.

If he returns to the squad, the entire squad will be wiped out. It's better for him to stay and complete the escort mission with me. This will increase my mission's success rate and also save his life.

This is the only way to maximize profits.

The Jonin exchanged glances.

Under this question, the first person to want to detain the ninja who requested help was the first to do so.

That's going too far. How can you detain other teams' ninjas who are requesting reinforcements just for your own mission?

Nara antlers glanced at the yellow dog again.

Yellow Dog wondered to himself why he hadn't thought of this idea before.
His initial answer was to send a summoning beast to help the Konoha team. Now it seems the fox was right. If he had used a summoning beast, his own escort mission might have failed because he was missing a summoning beast.

Nara Shika asked a third question:

"If you were asked to infiltrate the distant Land of Bears for thirty years, during which time you could not reveal your identity, could not contact any Konoha ninjas, and were to be treated as if you never existed, what would you do?"

Ye Guang answered without hesitation:
"After 30 years of undercover work, I can prove that the village is going to achieve a goal that will take several decades to complete."

The Land of Bears is a vassal state of the Land of Earth, and I will formulate a long-term plan for the Land of Bears.

With my abilities, I will control everything in the Bear Kingdom in thirty years.

The daimyo of the Bear Country will be my puppet, the queen dowager of the Bear Country will be my lover, and the nobles of the Bear Country will be my slaves.

My only goal is to become the unsung emperor behind the scenes of the Bear Kingdom.

"Once my thirty-year infiltration period is over, Konoha will give me orders. At the very least, I must mobilize the entire Kuma Country's resources, lead them in their rebellion against the Land of Earth, and launch an attack on the Land of Earth to help Konoha win the war against it." The Jonin nodded repeatedly. They were already accustomed to Root's Bronze Fox's line of thinking and found it to be the optimal solution.

Everything else is fine, except that becoming the mistress of the Queen Mother of the Bear Kingdom—doesn't that take her age into account?
Upon closer reflection, if the daimyo is a puppet, he might be under 10 years old, in which case being the empress dowager's lover would be acceptable.

Nara Shikaku shook his head as he wrote his opinion on the scroll.

Well, it's not that it doesn't meet Konoha's requirements, it's just that it's a bit too much in line with the requirements of the Anbu.

Ninjas from the Anbu (secret branch of the Kuomintang) tend to be somewhat extreme.

Copper Fox, you're too extreme. Nara Shikanobu's last comment on the scroll was that Copper Fox should stay in the Anbu; he was no longer suitable to be an ordinary ninja.

"Alright, the interview assessment is over. Next up is the practical assessment."

Yellow Dog was very satisfied with Nightlight's performance, and he was even less worried about the actual combat test.

Nara Deer Antlers said:
"The practical assessment will be conducted here."

Three Jonin will test your skills. If you are quickly defeated, or if you damage anything in the meeting room, you will fail the assessment.

Ye Guang hurriedly asked, "What if one of the three Jonin deliberately damages the floor or windows?"

Nara Shikazuchi said, "Not all Jonin are ANBU, not all Jonin are unscrupulous. Jonin have their own pride."

Ye Guang was taken aback; it seemed like he was being targeted.

What do you mean? Does that mean you're unscrupulous and have no pride?

Three Jonin, carrying kunai, charged toward Nightlight from three directions.

Ye Guang used his hand as a knife and slashed at a Jonin's kunai.

With a crisp clang, the kunai broke.

Ye Guang wanted to punch him in the chest, but was afraid that if she threw him away, he would break the bottles and jars, so she reached out and grabbed the ninja in front of her by the throat.

However, the Jonin was quick and dodged the luminous iron hook-like palm first.

The Jonin behind him also rushed over. Ye Guang turned around and used his copper-colored palm to cut off his kunai and grab at his throat.

This time, the luminous light successfully seized that vulnerable throat.

The next instant, the glow-in-the-dark fox mask was illuminated by a flash of light.

Ray's double?
The Jonin behind him rushed in from the blind spot of the night vision, having prepared a lightning substitution in advance.

This person's lightning release technique is exceptionally high; he used the lightning substitute that Kakashi used in the original story.

With his other hand, Ye Guang quickly formed a hand seal and used the seal for the Earth Substitute.

The lightning crackled and exploded towards the luminous object. However, it only struck a puddle of mud.

Nightlight appeared in the corner of the conference room, standing behind the Jonin who was skilled in Lightning Release.

I almost got discovered by so many people; the absolute defense against the copper light is an earth-遁 (earth-遁) secret technique.

The two were locked in a stalemate using physical techniques.

The Lightning Release Jonin retreated further and further away, using another Jonin as a barrier to form hand seals in preparation for using Lightning Release: Earth Walk.

When Ye Guang saw the mark, he instantly tensed up.

It wasn't that I was afraid of the ninjutsu itself, but rather that I was afraid of Lightning Release: Low Descent damaging the floor.

The light jumped up and hung upside down on the ceiling.

The lightning-style jonin stopped forming hand seals and looked up at the night light.

The other two Jonin simultaneously teleported near the ceiling, and thrust two kunai at Nightlight, one after the other.

They were still testing the absolute defenses of the Nightlight, trying to find a weakness.

The three of them fought from the ceiling to the floor, and then from the floor to the window.

A flowerpot on the windowsill was knocked off. Ye Guang kicked a person forward, sending them flying. The person then leaned back and caught the flowerpot near the ground.

No sooner had the flowerpots been placed than someone else rushed up.

The three fought fiercely, mainly using taijutsu and small-scale ninjutsu.

five minutes later.

"Stop!" Nara Shika shouted.
"If the four of you don't use your trump cards, none of you can do anything to the other."

Fox, you have passed the test.

"The combat assessment is over. After I finish writing my assessment report, Fox, you can go upstairs to see the Hokage."

　I started feeling unwell yesterday and went to the hospital today. There will only be two updates today; there won't be an extra update at noon.
