Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 243 Baby Boomers

When Danzo entered the Hokage's office, Orochimaru and the fox were still there, as was the yellow dog.

"Danzo is here." Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a very good mood: "Orochimaru, tell Advisor Danzo about the mission from Kumogakure again."

Orochimaru said, "Yakushi Nonou is a good intelligence agent."

She obtained intelligence on the troop rotation at the outposts on the outskirts of Kumogakure and planned our route.

Danzo, the advisor, once asked me to develop a secret genjutsu medicine to counter the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I tested it on Brubi, and it was very successful.

Ye Guang gasped. Orochimaru just casually said that Danzo had plotted against the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
He slightly turned his eyes and noticed that the people in the office didn't seem too surprised.

He thought he had already integrated into this group, but he didn't realize that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

No matter how bad she is, she is as kind as a white flower in front of these people.

As for why they developed the secret medicine to deal with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the answer is that it was for the sake of the village.

If the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki betrays the village, there must be some means of checks and balances.

Orochimaru continued, "The Eight-Tails went berserk, Burubi died, and the Hidden Cloud Village lost 8 Jonin and more than 60 ninjas, suffering heavy casualties."

The improved sealing techniques of Kumogakure are okay for sealing the Two-Tails, but the Eight-Tails is much stronger than the Two-Tails, and Brubi's seal is not stable enough.

I believe that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki poses a greater threat than the Eight-Tails on the battlefield.

The fox's performance in this mission was also a pleasant surprise.

He withstood an attack from the Third Raikage after he entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode. In terms of defensive power alone, the fox is arguably the strongest ninja I've ever seen.

Ye Guang quickly and modestly replied, "I've faced death countless times during my missions in the Dark Division, so I have a unique understanding of defense."

Danzo asked, "Orochimaru, the results are indeed astonishing. But have you considered the possible reaction from Kumogakure? What will you do if they start a war?"

Before Orochimaru could answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained for him:

"Danzo, Orochimaru's mission to investigate Burubi was aimed at suppressing Sakumo Hatake's growing reputation."

Compared to the threat posed by Kumogakure, the chaos within the village is more worrying.

The threat to Konoha is never external, but internal. You have to clean the room before you can welcome guests, right?

Ye Guang thought to himself, "To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the advantage lies with you."

An expert in civil wars but a novice in foreign wars, are you Sarutobi Chūsho?
Danzo stopped asking questions and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Four Root ninjas, Ji, Geng, Xin, and Ren, were killed in the Land of Iron."

I will launch a forced recruitment plan for new members in the root and dark factions within the village.

Any ninja with outstanding abilities will be forcibly conscripted into the Anbu and Root.

Any ninja with exceptional talent will be forcibly recruited into Root and carefully trained.

Seeing Danzo's resolute words, and not wanting the Anbu to be used by Danzo, the yellow dog said:
"Lord Danzo, the Anbu is not short of new recruits for the time being."

The shortage in the Dark Division isn't significant; its four squads can be replenished with two to three new recruits each month.

Danzo gave the yellow dog a cold look, then turned and left.

The yellow dog ended up in an embarrassing situation.

When Ye Guang followed the yellow dog back to the Anbu, he asked, "Chief, what is Advisor Danzo planning to do? Forcibly conscripting civilian ninjas is one thing, but forcibly conscripting ninja clan geniuses, will the ninja clans agree?"

"The advisor, Danzo, is getting anxious," Huang Quan said.

"The Root now only has two and a half people left, Bing and Gui, half of Orochimaru."

The crucial point is that Danzo's advisors still haven't determined who the enemy is, or who is secretly killing Root ninjas.

The Golden Eagle team has been investigating, but hasn't found anything.

All we know is that the culprit was a master of Fire Release techniques, possessing at least the strength of an elite Jonin.

Ye Guang felt a little guilty. His Fire Release technique hadn't reached the level of an elite Jonin. He only looked like a Fire Release master because he had unleashed a Master-level Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. The technique was fast and the enemy had little time to react.

Back in Huang Quan's office, Huang Quan looked at the mission report and said:

"Fox, this is your 9th S-rank mission. When I was your age, I hadn't even completed half of your S-rank missions."

"It's all thanks to your excellent arrangements, Minister." Huang Quan smiled.

Assistant Butterfly knocked on the office door and entered:
"My lord, a scroll has been sent from the Root Department. Minister Danzo will be recruiting at least 20 people to enter the Root Department for training this week."

Bing said that the Root organization was short-handed, and ordered the Dark Division to send five elite members to mentor the new recruits.

The yellow dog took the scroll, looked at it, and said:
"Fox, you've carried out two S-rank missions in the Land of Lightning in the last two months. Why don't you take a break and go to Root to train Jonin? I'll feel more at ease if you lead the others into Root."

"Okay, Minister."

After leaving Huang Quan's office and returning to his own, Ye Guang asked Zi Mao to bring him the squad's mission report for the month.

The team's tasks are mostly village-level surveillance.

Purple Cat acts as an assistant, receiving and distributing tasks on Nightlight's behalf when Nightlight is not around.

With the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki under surveillance, and the Senju, Uchiha, and Aburame clans also monitoring the situation, there was no real danger.

We need to find a way to provide Orochimaru with valuable intelligence, including information on the Yellow Dog and the Five Elements Great Combo, as well as information on the Black Ant Squad and the Book of Sealing.

There are some difficulties, and I don't know where to start.

A scroll caught Ye Guang's attention.

The Antelope Squad wrote a scroll saying that the number of pregnant women in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Konoha Hospital had surged.

"Purple Cat, what month is it now?"

June.

"The war ended at the end of last year. After the war ended, the ninjas' stress levels dropped sharply, and their reproductive cells became more active."

"Reproductive cells?" Purple Cat looked at the scroll and said, "Yes, there is a baby boom after every Shinobi World War."

In the ninja world, women take their husband's surname after marriage.

Ye Guang glanced at the surnames of the pregnant women recorded by the Antelope Squad and roughly guessed which group of people had been born.

Izumo Kamui, Kotetsu, Hayate Gekko, Iruka—most of the special Jonin that Naruto encountered in the original manga were born around this time.

Ye Guang embraced the purple cat and stroked its belly.

Being touched on the belly by the fox was more embarrassing than being touched anywhere else; the purple cat's face turned red, and even its long neck under the mask turned red.

The fox is checking to see if she is pregnant.

"Fox... We are both ANBU ninjas. If we have a child, it can't take your surname until you retire from ANBU..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just a commoner without a surname."

The name Ye Guang was inherited from the original owner, who also had no surname and was a commoner from the lower class.

Ye Guang doesn't mind having children, but she's a little worried about what bloodline the children might inherit.

His current bloodline limits are Uzumaki, Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga, which is rather chaotic.

Logically speaking, the first thing one should acquire is the Thousand Hands Bloodline Limit, which has the greatest impact on oneself.

Uzumaki and Senju are somewhat better off, but what if Yamanaka Ri's child has the Sharingan or Byakugan?
When exploring the Purple Cat more deeply, if we use the self-healing ability of the Thousand Hands bloodline, will it increase the probability of inheriting the Thousand Hands bloodline?

The fact that Ye Guang, a commoner, possesses the Thousand Hands Bloodline Limit is relatively easy to explain.

When women of the Senju clan marry ninjas in the village, they stop using the Senju surname, which explains why the Senju bloodline continues to spread within the village.

Ye Guang said, "Li, if you have a child, let the child's name include the character 'Ye' (night)."

Purple Cat was taken aback; this was the first time the fox had revealed information about his identity to her.

Despite her close relationship with the fox, Purple Cat still doesn't know who the fox is.

She is the fox's assistant and has no authority to see any information about the fox squad leader.

"Night?" Purple Cat nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll remember."

"It's my fault, the baby boom has started and your belly still hasn't shown any signs. I need to make sure you get plenty of nourishment during this time!"
