Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 244 Yamanaka Ryu, Let Her Enter the Root

Purple Cat's legs went weak, and she walked back to her locker room.

He changed into his own clothes and vanished instantly from the courtyard of the Dark Division.

On the way home, Yamanaka Riko had a smile on her face. The fox said that if she had a child, she would name the child with the character "night" in it.

Is it called "Mountain Night" or "Mountain Night"?

It’s so hard to choose.

During dinner that evening, the younger sister, Yamanaka Ryu, secretly watched her older sister for a long time before finally unable to hold back and asking, "Sister, what are you secretly laughing at?"

Yamanaka Rimi immediately put on a stern face: "Eat! No talking while eating or sleeping!"

Yamanaka Ryu said, "No talking while eating? That's a requirement only for ninja clans like the Shimura and Hyuga clans, which have many rules. When have we ever had such a requirement?"

Yamanaka Ryu put down her chopsticks and leaned close to her sister, whispering, "Sister, I know what missions you go on every day. Are you one of those legendary ANBU ninjas?"

Yamanaka Riko's eyes tensed for a moment, then immediately relaxed.

She never told her sister about her mission, but her sister was too close to her and might guess something from her whereabouts.

"Nonsense, how could I be an ANBU ninja? Don't talk nonsense, spreading rumors will get you arrested and interrogated by the ANBU."

Yamanaka Ryū immediately stepped back, still shaken, and said:
"One of my classmates was arrested and interrogated for spreading rumors about Lord White Fang. They asked him if he was acting on someone's orders."

After leaving the Dark Guard, he became much more silent, having suffered a significant blow there.

Riri Yamanaka knew a little about this matter; recently, someone had been building up support for White Fang, and White Fang's prestige was growing.

Today, the fox and Lord Orochimaru returned from the Land of Lightning. It's time to build up Lord Orochimaru's reputation again.

Just then, someone suddenly opened their door.

"Li! The clan leader urgently summons you!"

Li ignored her meal and headed towards the clan chief's residence.

Yamanaka Ryu looked at her sister's back with envy. The last time she saw the clan leader and her sister talking under the corridor, she didn't know what they were talking about. The clan leader listened carefully, and her sister spoke slowly.

My sister's status in the clan is rising, and she is highly regarded by many Jonin.

When Yamanaka Rie arrived at the clan chief's residence, she saw the clan chief, Yamanaka Ien.

"Li, you've come," said Yamanaka Ien.

"Time is of the essence. Has something happened in the Anbu and Root recently? Why did Advisor Danzo start entering the territories of each ninja clan this afternoon?"

Normally, Yamanaka Ien wouldn't investigate the Dark Side or Root's intelligence, but the current situation is special.

Danzo's actions put a lot of pressure on the ninja clan.

Yamanaka Rie thought for a moment and said, "Clan Chief, do you still remember the murder of Shimura Oka and Sarutobi Yu, who were about to be promoted to Jonin?"

"remember."

Yamanaka Ien thought that the two of them were not strong enough to become Jonin.

The Third Hokage and Danzo's occasional whims with their power were something their subordinates couldn't control.

Yamanaka Rie continued, "Besides those two, six other members of the Root organization have been murdered in recent months."

I suspect that Danzo's advisors' visits to each ninja clan's territory were intended to replenish Root's ranks with powerful and skilled individuals.

The mountain well garden's heart is indeed as it is.

A man strode in from outside: "Clan Chief! Advisor Danzo has entered the clan territory!"

"Please ask him to go to the study... no, please ask him to go to the main hall. I'll be there right now."

It was inconvenient for Yamanaka Ri to appear. She was an ANBU ninja, and Danzo was her superior. It would be inappropriate for her to side with either the ANBU or the clan, so she stayed in the clan leader's study.

Yamanaka Ien arrived at the main hall of the Yamanaka clan and waited for Danzo.

"Please sit down, Danzo."

However, Danzo did not sit down, but stood and said to Yamanaka Ien:

"Clan Chief Ioen, although the Second Shinobi World War has ended, the safety of the village is still not optimistic."

"A person lurking in the shadows is frequently provoking the village and killing its key ninjas." Yamanaka Ien thought to herself, "It's not the village that's being provoked, it's probably you."

"The Root and Anbu urgently need powerful ninjas to protect the village in the dark and accomplish tasks that ordinary ninjas cannot."

I have already notified the Aburame clan, the Hyuga clan, and other ninja clans.

Every ninja clan has an inescapable responsibility to sacrifice for Konoha.

The Yamanaka clan does the same, regularly sending two ninjas to Root: one is an elite Chunin or Special Jonin with outstanding immediate combat ability, and the other is a young but highly talented child who has not yet entered the Ninja Academy.

Yamanaka Ien's eyes were full of confusion. He knew he couldn't escape Danzo's demands. He could understand the need for a special Jonin, but why a child?
Yamanaka Ien asked, "Advisor Danzo, our Yamanaka clan is willing to offer a Chunin or Special Jonin to the Anbu, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask for a child who hasn't even enrolled yet?"

Danzo said, "There is nothing wrong with it. Root will be trained from a young age, so that outstanding Root ninjas can be cultivated."

This child has lived at the root since childhood and will never return to the mountain tribe.

"Not only you, but all the other ninja clans are the same."

Yamanaka Ien looked rather grim.

This request is outrageous.

He said, "Danzo, the advisor, said that the original intention of establishing Konoha Village was to prevent 10-year-old children from going to the battlefield."

So you mean, a 4-year-old child should start root training?

I absolutely will not do this…

Before Yamanaka Ien could finish speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept over him.

Danzo's four white eyes, with small, sinister pupils, stared at Yamanaka Ien.

The cold wind rushed into Shan Zhongjingyuan's sleeves, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Even so, Yamanaka Ien said, "No, I do not agree to a 4-year-old child entering root training!"

Danzo, in the past year, my Yamanaka clan has sent many ninjas to the Anbu and Root.

As of now, there is one Yamanaka clan ninja each in the Root and Anbu branches.

Not only do the Root and Anbu need Yamanaka clan ninjas, but the interrogation squad and the barrier squad also need us.

We are still willing to send ninjas to Root and Anbu. As you said, sacrificing for Konoha is the duty of our Yamanaka clan.

But I absolutely cannot agree to having a four-year-old child!

Behind Danzo, Bing lowered his head.

He is the mountain ninja that the clan chief mentioned serving in the Root clan.

On nights when they don't have a mission, Anbu ninjas can go home. Root ninjas, on the other hand, must stay at Root 24 hours a day, ready to be summoned by Danzo at any time.

Bing really wanted to tell the clan leader that Lord Danzo wanted a 4-year-old child because he wanted to cultivate absolutely loyal subordinates from a young age, subordinates who would not be corrupted by the clan.

"Yamanaka Ien and Nara Shikazuchi haven't said anything, are you going to be the first to stand up against me?"

Upon hearing that Nara Shikaku did not object, Yamanaka Ien's momentum instantly weakened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly in pain.

If the antlers agree, it proves that the antlers' judgment is that this matter is inviolable.

Bing dared not say anything and could only hope that the clan chief would agree soon.

With such significant damage to the roots, Lord Danzo must strengthen them.

Children aged 3 or 4, raised from a young age, are most likely to be turned into emotionless task machines.

If you don't tell them their identity, they don't even know who they are, and they have no concerns about loyalty.

Yamanaka Ien hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, I was wrong just now, I got a little excited."

Danzo said, "I'll pick one person, Chunin Yamanaka Ryu."

Let her join the Root; her older sister is quite strong, so Yamanaka Ryu's talent must be good too.

"Yamachi Ryu, along with a 4-year-old child, will be sent to Nebe tomorrow."
