Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 217 The Dark Guard's Work is Really Rough

As dusk fell, the night light, hidden behind a chimney, watched as Sakumo Hatake and his son left their home and headed towards the training ground.

Kakashi Hatake is only 3 years old and looks very small.

The two arrived at a training ground and began basic ninja tool training.

Like other commoner ninjas, Hatake Sakumo placed particular emphasis on basic training, including taijutsu and ninja tools.

Not long after, Minato Namikaze arrived at the training ground and greeted Sakumo and his son.

This was their fifth meeting.

During this period, they shared a training ground.

Minato Namikaze trained his taijutsu alone for a while, and during his break, he was called to Sakumo Hatake's side.

Sakumo Hatake pointed at Minato Namikaze's feet, seemingly implying that Minato's stance was not stable enough.

He patiently instructed Minato Namikaze on how to attach chakra to his legs and feet to strengthen his lower body.

Afterwards, he was taught some preliminary techniques of the Body Flicker Technique, such as how to use chakra to increase the power of his feet.

Minato Namikaze was greatly inspired. After listening to the explanation once, he didn't rest and went to try it out. Sure enough, his movement speed increased by a few points.

Minato is an orphan with no formal training. He relies entirely on his diligence and thoughtfulness at school to earn the teachers' favor and to study hard.

At this moment, he met an older man with white hair who patiently taught him, which made him very excited.

After the training session, the three left the training field.

Sakumo Hatake nodded at a large tree to his side.

He had just seen the fox mask that the ANBU ninja had deliberately revealed.

For some unknown reason, the secret service sent a fox to monitor him.

For several days in a row, Yoru came to this training ground to monitor Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze.

He watched as Minato Namikaze and Kakashi trained diligently under Sakumo Hatake's tutelage.

He thought to himself that the Third Hokage was actually afraid that Sakumo Hatake would contact the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through Minato Namikaze. In reality, Sakumo Hatake's target was Minato Namikaze, not the Jinchuriki at all.

The third generation's house is about to be robbed, and he doesn't even know it yet.

According to reports from the Anbu and the Ninja Academy, Minato Namikaze was a prodigy.

There are many geniuses in the Ninja Academy, with four or five geniuses in each class. Only Yagami knows that Minato Namikaze is not only a genius, but also the future of Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's greatest achievement during his twenty years in power was witnessing Minato Namikaze's rise to prominence.

If we remove Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi's last twenty years can't be said to have been completely unproductive, but at the very least, he accomplished nothing.

After more than a week of surveillance, the Third Generation summoned Yoru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were both in the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Fox, tell me about your surveillance results over the past week."

"Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo, I have been monitoring Sakumo Hatake every day this week."

When he's not on missions, he spends most of his time with his son, Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake has shown great talent and amazing physical skills.

Every afternoon, Sakumo Hatake would take Kakashi to the training ground.

Usually, Sakumo Hatake arrives first, followed by Minato Namikaze after school.

When Sakumo Hatake was instructing Kakashi, he would occasionally instruct Minato Namikaze as well.

Minato Namikaze was unaware that Sakumo Hatake was the White Fang of Konoha, but he cherished the opportunity to have someone guide him.

Hokage, I checked the evaluation of Minato Namikaze by the teachers at the Ninja Academy. Minato Namikaze is a bright and precocious genius, and the teachers at the Ninja Academy all praise him highly.

Sakumo Hatake took an exceptional liking to Minato Namikaze after meeting him and taught him very carefully.

Two days ago, Sakumo Hatake brought chakra testing strips to Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi's chakra nature is lightning, while Minato Namikaze's chakra nature is wind.

From chakra attributes to chakra circulation to the smallest flaws in taijutsu movements, Hatake Sakumo's guidance progressed steadily, and it seemed he intended to provide guidance for an extended period.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo, I cannot determine whether Sakumo Hatake intends to use Minato Namikaze to make contact with the Jinchuriki. There is currently no evidence." Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage indeed could not determine Sakumo Hatake's true intentions.

Taking geniuses as disciples brings a unique sense of accomplishment. Hiruzen Sarutobi's proudest achievement right now is taking the three legendary Sannin as his disciples.

Unfortunately, the three legendary ninjas became disobedient as they grew up, each one more disobedient than the last.

He held the pearl in his palm as if it were a priceless treasure. Perhaps Sakumo Hatake was simply admiring Minato Namikaze and had no intention of interfering with the Jinchūriki's thoughts.

Danzo said, "Hiruzen, if you don't control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, others will."

My spy has obtained the latest information on Jinchuriki in Kumogakure; you'll feel even more urgency after hearing it.

"Oh? What information?"

Danzo glanced at the fox first, then said:

"The Fox Squad obtained information about the battlefield performance of the Jinchuriki from the Land of Earth. The Jinchuriki from the Land of Earth do not have a problem with being retrieved, and they can control their Tailed Beast Chakra at will."

I instructed the spies from Kumogakure to focus their investigation on the village's Jinchūriki. After six spies died, we finally obtained crucial intelligence.

The Hidden Cloud Village obtained sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan and is carrying out a project called 'Perfect Jinchuriki'.

A perfect Jinchuriki, as the name suggests, is a Jinchuriki who perfectly controls a Tailed Beast.

The development of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must be put on the agenda.

The Senju clan says the Nine-Tails' seal is very strong, but we know nothing about the seal.

War can break out at any time. In the next war, the Hidden Cloud Village will produce a perfect Jinchuriki. What will Konoha use to resist?

What we need to do now is to confirm the safety of the Nine-Tails seal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered, "Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade are in cahoots, this is really troublesome."

They not only formed an alliance during the Jonin team meeting, but also cooperated openly or covertly with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

“Alright, I agree to your plan. Root will go and verify the seal on the Jinchuriki. However, a squad from the Anbu will need to accompany them to ensure their safety. Let the Fox Squad go.”

Ye Guang received another mission from the Hokage's office. Danzo didn't tell him how Root planned to deal with Uzumaki Kushina, so he had to have his subordinates take turns following Uzumaki Kushina.

Soon, a trend of school bullying emerged at the ninja academy.

Kushina Uzumaki, a transfer student with distinctive red hair, inexplicably becomes a target of bullying.

Four boys cornered Kushina in the shadows behind the school building.

Behind the teaching building is the school wall, and there is a narrow alley that is 3 meters wide.

"Tomato, do you really think you can become the female Hokage of Konoha?"

"The village would never allow an outsider to become Hokage!"

"Who knows if you'll use Konoha to avenge the destruction of the Uzumaki clan?"

Kushina Uzumaki once said that she wanted to become Hokage, just like Naruto Uzumaki in the original work.

Her ideals were ridiculed by others.

Ye Guang stood by the second-floor window, listening to several people downstairs calling Kushina's nickname "Tomato".

He asked the teacher who suddenly appeared beside him, "Aren't you going to do anything about school bullying?"

"Huh? Isn't this what you requested? One of the secret agents gave prior notice, telling us not to interfere."

"That's the root, not the dark side."

Under normal circumstances, school bullying is impossible without the teacher's tacit approval.

Kushina was no delicate little girl; she single-handedly defeated four people, even riding on one of them's heads, raining punches down on his head.

Just then, two more people jumped out of the windows of the teaching building.

These two were short in stature, but their eyes revealed that they were not students; they lacked the naiveté and clarity of students.

One of them grabbed Kushina's red hair and pulled her backwards violently.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "The work done at the root is really sloppy."
