Chapter 208 Rejecting Orochimaru

Chapter 208 Rejecting Orochimaru

Two members of the Fox Squad were killed. Nightlight submitted a request to Root, asking them to send two more new ANBU recruits, preferably from retired ANBU ninjas.

Danzo's control over the training and assignment of new recruits in the Anbu was very unsettling.

Who knows if Danzo's spies are among the new recruits sent?

Hiruzen Sarutobi trusted Danzo too much. Danzo was an important assistant to Hiruzen Sarutobi in his early days of seizing power, and the two of them developed a path dependency.

Danzo would handle the thorny issues, but when Danzo went too far and went too bloody, Hiruzen Sarutobi would step in to mediate.

Yellow Dog and Night Light are currently unable to shake Danzo's position in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

Nightlight summoned all members of the squad:
"The missions are more dangerous after the war, but the frequency of missions is not as high as during the war."

In addition to carrying out missions, each team must conduct training and find ways to enhance the capabilities of its members.

If you lack ninjutsu, tell me, and the squad's resources will be open to you.

I will occasionally participate in the training of one of your squads.

Without prior notice, greetings, reports, or accompaniment, they went straight to the training ground.

I hope that everyone in the squad has at least the strength of a Special Jonin.

I will keep an eye on your mission records and recommend you to become special jonin or even jonin as soon as possible.

Just like how Aries and Shika were promoted to Special Jonin this time.

The team members looked at the fox squad leader with excitement. The squad leader genuinely hoped that they would improve their strength and become elite members of the Dark Division.

After the meeting, the Aries Squad, escorting six Iwa ninja prisoners, followed behind Nightlight towards Root's new base.

After the Dark Division reforms, the Root moved away from the Dark Division base and built a separate base.

The Root base is located in a more remote area than the Dark Side base, outside the Forest of Death, at the base of the Konoha Village wall.

C from the root was very surprised: "The fox squad leader actually came in person to escort a few prisoners?"

Ye Guang said, "There's nothing to do tonight. The Roots have requested too many prisoners. I guess we'll have to come here more often in the future."

Bing didn't say much, but Lord Orochimaru needed at least 50 test subjects every month.

The secret service used a squad leader to escort the prisoners as a sign of their dissatisfaction.

This number is too many, putting a lot of pressure on the dark areas.

After entering the root zone, Bing led the way to the experimental area.

Deeper into the dark corridor, the unpleasant smell of preservatives grew stronger.

Orochimaru emerged from the laboratory and saw six prisoners bound up.

He grabbed the prisoners by the neck one by one and twisted their necks off.

Not only was it glowing, but even Bing was stunned.

Bing spoke up, "Lord Orochimaru... these are the prisoners we just captured."

Ye Guang watched Orochimaru kill with practiced ease, puzzled but not asking any further questions.

Orochimaru didn't kill the last person.

"From now on, my laboratory will only accept prisoners who possess both earth and water attributes."

A single-attribute Iwa ninja is worthless.

Hua Lu thought to herself, "It's already good enough that we captured these earth-style ninjas from the Land of Earth. We were being chased by several squadrons back then, so there was no time to distinguish the chakra nature of the prisoners."

Ye Guang said, "Lord Orochimaru, if it's a dual earth and water attribute, the Anbu can't possibly provide 50 prisoners every month."

Even if three special assassination squads did nothing, they couldn't possibly capture so many and such unusual prisoners.

Orochimaru glanced at the fox and said:

"Then take 25 prisoners from the Dark Division and 25 prisoners from the Root Division."

If we don't have enough prisoners, we can use children with chakra talent instead. I can train children to have both earth and water attributes.

Ye Guang felt very proud that Orochimaru had conceded. He didn't say anything and left with the Aries team.

A cold wind blew!
Ye Guang turned around and looked at Orochimaru with a puzzled expression.

The atmosphere in the dark corridor suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

Bing, who was quite familiar with Orochimaru, couldn't resist reaching for his ninja tool pouch.

Orochimaru flicked his left hand and produced a shuriken from who-knows-where, which flew rapidly toward Nightlight.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Nightlight raised his hand, his skin turning a coppery red, and with a few clanging sounds, he blocked the shuriken. Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, and a bolt of lightning, like a white snake, pierced towards Nightlight.

Ye Guang quickly dodged the lightning.

This full moon cycle has already died once, and the next full moon hasn't arrived yet.

Ye Guang hesitated, wondering what he would do if Orochimaru went mad and tried to kill him here.

Aries stood in front of Nightlight, and swarms of parasitic worms rushed out, instantly filling the passageway.

Unable to sense Orochimaru's killing intent, Ye Guang reached out and pressed down on Aries's shoulder: "Wait, Aries."

The parasite slowly returned to the sheep's body.

Orochimaru stopped attacking and looked the fox up and down, saying, "Fox, your absolute defense is an Earth Release technique, isn't it?"

Ye Guang was taken aback. He had never told anyone the principles behind his secret technique, and he never expected Orochimaru to guess the answer so easily.

Was it his action of dodging the lightning release that made Orochimaru suspect something?

"You're also skilled in top-tier Water Release techniques like Water Severing Wave." Orochimaru's sinister voice echoed in the corridor.

"Fox, would you be interested in participating in my experiment?"

Ye Guang replied simply, "No."

Not only does Ye Guang possess both earth and water attributes, but it also has the bloodline of the Senju clan.

Hashirama cells are a method of enhancing his strength that he will inevitably try.

but not now.

Orochimaru has just begun researching Wood Release, and his experiments are extremely crude. Going there now would be suicide.

It's not too late to start a collaboration once Orochimaru's research is complete.

It is now Konoha Year 40. He remembers that Yamato was born in Konoha Year 41 and was captured by Orochimaru as an infant to be experimented on.

With Yamato mastering Wood Release, Orochimaru's research will be considered basically complete by next year.

He will absolutely not be contaminated with Hashirama cells this year.

Orochimaru felt very regretful as he watched the fox lead the team away.

That night, Danzo entered the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon hearing Danzo's complaint, said, "What did you say? Orochimaru invited a fox to participate in his experiments, and the fox refused?"
Orochimaru said that a Jonin like the fox, who is strong in both Earth and Water Release techniques, is extremely valuable for experimentation?

After thinking for a moment, the third generation leader said to his assistant, "Send the yellow dog to see me."

The yellow dog entered the Hokage's office and, upon hearing Danzo's request, fiercely resisted:

"Absolutely impossible! A fox would never participate in Orochimaru's experiments!"
He's my squad leader, not some highly valuable experimental subject!
Danzo, please do not mention this matter again.

The yellow dog unusually refused Danzo to his face.

Seeing the yellow dog's resolute expression, the Third Hokage spoke before Danzo could:

"Danzo, let's put this matter aside for now. The fox is not an ordinary Jonin; he's an ANBU squad leader."

Let's find other test subjects; forget about foxes.

Danzo said, "You won't let me find the Senju clan. Without test subjects, how can the experiments proceed smoothly?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Tsunade is being very cautious right now. Don't make any moves against the Senju clan recently."

Danzo said nothing and left the Hokage's office.

The yellow dog said to the third generation:
"Lord Hokage, the Black Ant Squad is responsible for your safety and will relay your orders."

The lynx squad was more often commanded by Danzo's advisor.

In other words, I only have two Jonin under my command: the Golden Eagle and the Fox.

After the ANBU is streamlined, it will inevitably have to take the route of elite. Where can we find a Jonin like Fox who has been with me for nearly two years, is strong, has outstanding potential, and knows me inside and out?

Didn't you say you wanted to strictly control the number of Jonin in the village? The Jonin all like to point fingers and criticize during Jonin team meetings, so who would want to join the Anbu?

"Alright, alright, I was wrong." It was rare to see Hiruzen Sarutobi take the initiative to admit his mistake, so he changed the subject, saying:
"Next, you need to secretly investigate the Jonin candidates recommended by Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, and Uchiha Jon.

Find problems to identify potential Jonin; if there are no problems, create them.

I will selectively approve the promotion of the special Jonin they recommend, but I will never easily approve the Jonin they recommend.

This was the most important task the Dark Guard had undertaken after the war.

Yellow Dog said, "I understand. I will have the Golden Eagle Squad and the Fox Squad investigate the ninjas recommended by Tsunade, White Fang, and Uchiha Bell as soon as possible."
