Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 167 Seven Ninja Swords
Seeing the fox's confusion, the yellow dog said:

"The Seven Ninja Swords are seven famous swords forged by the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu. The Hozuki clan possesses the summoning scrolls for the Seven Ninja Swords."

Whether the Seven Ninja Swords were a legacy left to the Hozuki clan by Hozuki Gengetsu or to the village by the Second Mizukage remains a subject of endless debate within Kirigakure.

The current leadership of Kirigakure believes that the materials for the Seven Ninja Swords were all provided by the village and should rightfully belong to Kirigakure.

The infighting and strife in Kirigakure are far more severe than in Konoha. The competition for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is fierce, and people die frequently.

Kirigakure does not recognize the Hozuki clan as heirs to the Seven Ninja Swords and has been demanding that the entire Hozuki clan hand over the Seven Ninja Swords.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "You know that there's serious infighting in Konoha."

However, in the ninja world where everyone is trying to outdo each other in terms of how bad things are, Kirigakure is indeed even worse than Konoha.

The yellow dog continued:
"The current leader of Kirigakure, Elder Genshi, has been pushing for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to become the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, rather than the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hozuki clan."

After the death of the Second Hozuki Gengetsu, he was pressured by the village, especially by the demands of the Third Mizukage and Genji.

The Hozuki clan handed over three unimportant ninja swords to the village: the Broken Sword - Executioner's Blade, the Long Sword - Sewing Needle, and the Blunt Sword - Kabuto Slash.

The four powerful ninja swords—Samehada, Hiramekarei, Hibuchi, and Kiba—are still in the hands of the Hozuki clan.

The Jonin of Kirigakure fought fiercely over the Seven Ninja Swords. Obtaining one of the Seven Ninja Swords meant gaining the strength and status of an elite Jonin. Which Jonin could resist such temptation?

What we need to do is steal one of the ninja swords. If handled well, it could even ignite internal conflict within Kirigakure.

After thinking it over, Ye Guang realized that he wasn't afraid of ninja swords that primarily relied on physical attacks, such as the Longsword Sewing Needle and the Executioner's Blade.

The solution proposed by Huang Quan is not entirely unfeasible.

Yellow Dog's promotion to vice minister can indeed be attributed to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Tsunade led the support troops into the front-line camp.

Ye Guang followed the yellow dog into the command tent.

On the platform in the command tent, Danzo sat in the center.

Danzo always had a blank expression, and his right eye was wrapped in bandages, so you couldn't see anything.

Uchiha Jon, who was standing next to Danzo, had a rather unpleasant expression on his face.

Uchiha Zhong and the Uchiha clan did not have an easy time on the front lines.

Fire Release is countered by Water Release, and Sharingan is countered by Hidden Mist Technique.

When Uchiha Zhong saw Tsunade, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

It would have been absolutely impossible for an Uchiha to expect the arrival of a Senju clan member.

After Danzo and Tsunade exchanged a few words, Tsunade left with several medical Jonin to take over the frontline medical unit.

After Tsunade left, Danzo looked at the yellow dog.

The yellow dog stepped forward and said:

"Lord Danzo, the war in the Land of Whirlpools cannot be delayed any longer."

Onoki held a secret meeting with Kumogakure, but showed no intention of negotiating with Konoha.

The Hidden Cloud Village could withdraw from the Land of Earth at any time and instead attack the Land of Hot Springs, a vassal state of the Land of Fire.

The Hidden Cloud Village is the strongest of the five great ninja villages besides Konoha. The Hokage believes that Konoha should go all out to deal with the threat posed by the Hidden Cloud Village.

Therefore, the war in the Land of Whirlpools should end as soon as possible.

After analysis, the Hokage believed that they could start with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to increase the rifts within Kirigakure, causing internal conflict and thus ending the war.

My large force has come to the front lines solely to carry out the Hokage's mission.

Yellow Dog used the Hokage as an excuse at every turn, leaving Danzo speechless as he looked at the scroll Yellow Dog handed him.

The scroll contains a mission manual personally written by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo said:
"As the head of the Dark Division, I approve your actions."

"The Alligator Turtle Captain is dead. I recommend Yi to replace him as captain. Did you bring back Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval scroll?" The yellow dog brought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's mission arranged by the Hokage, which meant that the Hokage was directly interfering with the command at the front.

Danzo didn't say anything, but instead brought up the matter of making Oto, a member of Root, the captain of the Anbu.

Danzo meant that Hiruzen Sarutobi could interfere, and he even knew about Danzo's little schemes, like wanting to promote a vice-commander of the Anbu.

However, one large unit of the Dark Division was to be transferred to Danzo.

Danzo directly controls the Lynx and Bay Leopard battalions. If Yi can become the battalion commander and wear the Alligator Turtle mask, then Danzo will control three secret service battalions.

Therefore, it wouldn't be impossible to appoint the deputy head of the Yellow Dog Dark Division.

Danzo asked the yellow dog if it had been appointed as the captain of the battalion, which was his way of negotiating with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In the darkness, they discovered that the yellow dog was not afraid of Danzo at all.

The yellow dog tilted its head back and said:

"Lord Danzo, the Hokage has agreed that Oto will temporarily assume the position of captain and serve as the interim captain of the former Alligator Turtle Squad."

As for the official selection of the captain, the Hokage will make a decision with you after the War of the Land of Whirlpools ends.

This is the scroll from the Hokage appointing the temporary captain of the Alligator Turtle Squad.

B, standing to the side, slightly tilted his head and looked directly at the yellow dog.

Ye Guang turned his head and stared at Yi, showing his support for Captain Huang Quan with his actions.

Ye Guang did not hesitate to speculate about Danzo with the utmost malice.

When Danzo came to the Land of Whirlpools this time, he didn't bring his own elite lynx or leopard squadron, but instead brought the alligator snapping turtle squadron.

Now that the alligator snapping turtle is dead, it's hard to say whether it wasn't Danzo's doing.

When Danzo heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi had not agreed to Oto officially becoming the captain of the Anbu, he did not immediately react. After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"Yellow Dog, you go and carry out Hiruzen Sarutobi's mission first."

As Ye Guang left with the yellow dog, he glanced at Uchiha Zhong, who had been silently standing beside him.

Poor Uchiha Jon, staying in a tent with Danzo must have felt like being in an ice cellar.

After leaving the command post tent and taking a short rest in the Yellow Dog Brigade's tent area, the brigade headed straight for the coastline and dispersed along it.

Nightlight said to his three squad leaders, Aries, Antelope, and Deer:

"The three squads dispersed and patrolled the coastline within a 30-kilometer radius."

Your mission is to find the Seven Ninja Swords.

If you encounter a Mist Ninja, capture and interrogate them if possible to obtain information about the Seven Ninja Swords.

If you encounter any valuable prisoners, you can bring them to my side so that Purple Cat can gather intelligence.

If you encounter the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, do not rush in recklessly; contact me as soon as possible.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist require the entire battalion to handle; they are beyond our capabilities."

After the three teams left, Ye Guang stood on the reef, gazing at the sea under the night sky.

The waves surge one after another, crashing onto the shore.

During the day, the sea breeze blows along the beach; at night, the land breeze blows.

The wind blew from behind, heading towards the sea.

Ye Guang recalled that when he first transmigrated, he was sent to the Land of Waves to carry out a mission. He had been patrolling the coast and encountered many dangers.

His squadron leader at the time was a brown bear, and his second squadron leader was a chimpanzee.

Now he is also a squadron leader, and he has deployed three squads to the coastline.

I wonder if the former captain of the Brown Bear Company felt the same way—frustrated yet expectant.
