Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 247 Tsunade's Suspicion

Danzo waved his hand, signaling the others to leave.

Bing quickly took the newcomers and children away, leaving only four people in the training hall: Danzo, Tsunade, Gui, and Shizune.

Tsunade glanced at Gui: "Get out of my way!"

Gui's hand gripped Jingyin's frail shoulders tightly.

The next instant, Tsunade's fist suddenly appeared in front of Gui.

Fortunately, Danzo grabbed Tsunade's wrist in time.

Tsunade was taken aback, not expecting Danzo to be so strong.

Danzo truly lives up to his title of the Dark Ninja; his strength is even greater than Tsunade imagined.

"Gui, you should leave too."

Gui quickly released Kato Shizune and disappeared into the darkness.

Tsunade, with Shizune in tow, jumped back a large step.

Danzo said, "Tsunade, you understand the power of the Spirit Transformation Technique."

The Spirit Transformation Technique allows for remote control of enemies, creating chaos, and enabling one person to manipulate an entire enemy squad.

The lineage of the Spirit Transformation Technique must not be broken; Konoha cannot be without the Spirit Transformation Technique.

As Kato Dan's niece, Kato Shizune should undergo secret training from a young age, using various forms of mental stimulation to enhance her spiritual energy and master the art of spiritualization as soon as possible.

Everything I did was for the village, for Konoha.

The Second Hokage left the village a book of seals containing the technique of Spirit Transformation. What's lacking now is a ninja suitable for this technique!

Tsunade said, "Whether Shizune can master the Spirit Transformation Technique is my business, what does it have to do with you?"

"Tsunade!" Danzo raised his voice: "Don't assume everyone will tolerate you!"
Konoha needs the Spirit Transformation Technique, which is why I trained Kato Shizune!

but···"

Danzo's tone changed, and he said, "For Hiruzen Sarutobi's sake, I'm willing to concede."

"Give me a spell, and I'll let you take Silent away."

Tsunade asked, "What technique?"

"The sealing technique most suitable for the Anbu, recorded in the Second Hokage's notebook: the Seal of the Tongue-Severing Root." Danzo stared at Tsunade:

"Tsunade, either leave Kato Shizune behind to provide the Anbu with the Spirit Transformation Technique, or leave the Tongue Disaster Removal Seal to strengthen the Anbu for the village."

I'm not Hiruzen Sarutobi; I don't have time to play your childish games of rebellious disciple and soft-hearted teacher.

Shizune, terrified, clung to Tsunade's leg.

Last night, Tsunade went to check on Shizune and found that Shizune had disappeared.

After making inquiries from various sources, she finally learned from Orochimaru that Danzo had kidnapped Shizune.

When you're angry, you strike at the root of the problem, which can be difficult to resolve.

Root ninjas do not have an exit mechanism.

Leaving Root means refusing to fight for Konoha, and it means betraying Konoha.

Before Shizune was captured, Tsunade had many options, but now she can only grit her teeth and continue to fight.

"Hmph, don't say that a village can't be without spiritualization techniques. You just want the Seal of the Extinction of Tongue Disaster. If you can't get it, you resort to these despicable means."

Just as Tsunade was about to take Shizune away, three figures appeared in an instant.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.

Three high-ranking officials, realizing that someone dared to attack the base, rushed over instantly.

When they saw it was Tsunade, they weren't surprised.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew Danzo's purpose. He thought about it and realized that without Root, many secret missions could not be carried out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Shizune and said, "Tsunade, how could you attack Root, a vital organization of the village?"

Mitomon Homura said, "If you take your people away, the other ninja clan leaders will also take their people away. How will the Anbu and Root operate then?"

Without a well-established underground network and strongholds, how can one carry out the assassination of a sensitive target?

Koharu Utatane said, "Tsunade, focus on handling the matters at Konoha Hospital, and don't interfere with the Anbu and Root!"

Tsunade thought to herself, "It seems this can't be resolved peacefully."

Strengthening the roots is in the interest of all senior management.

It's not that Danzo needs to strengthen the roots, but that all high-ranking officials need to strengthen their roots.

Hiruzen Sarutobi can't possibly reason with everyone when he's governing such a large village as Konoha.

Ninjas wield martial prowess, focusing all their talents on killing. When faced with disobedient subordinates, they can't keep patiently persuading them, can they?
Physics is also a principle, and it's the most useful principle.

Kunu is also nothingness; any problem is dispensable in the face of Kunu.

There's nothing that can't solve the problem, but there is something that can solve the person who raises the problem.

Danzo is to Hiruzen Sarutobi what Tobirama is to Hashirama, just as Tobirama at night is to Tobirama during the day.

There are always some difficult things that are hard to handle; it's not the people on the surface who can get involved, but the people inside the organization who have to do it.

Without Danzo, Mitokado Homura might have transformed into Danzo.

With Mitokado Homura dead, perhaps Utatane Koharu will have to step forward and take over Danzo's dirty business.

Konoha can't do without people doing the dirty work.

Tsunade understood. She wasn't fighting against Danzo or Root, but against all of Konoha's high-ranking officials and against Konoha's existing order.

She mentally complained again that many of her second grandfather's policies had caused endless harm.

Tsunade wouldn't back down: "Don't interfere in Root's affairs? Shizune's been captured by Root, and I'm not going to mind?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Everyone has an obligation to join the Anbu and carry out missions in the shadows for the village. This is a rule set by the Second Hokage, Tobirama!"
Do the Senju clan and their vassals have the privilege to refuse?
Among these four-year-old children are children from ninja clans such as the Sarutobi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans, as well as many orphans.

"Does that mean everyone can just come to the secret service, smash up the roof, and kidnap people?"

Tsunade was taken aback. How did it become her being unreasonable?

Just as the two sides were at an impasse, a figure emerged from the darkness.

Everyone else turned to look at the tall, slender figure.

The person who dared to walk slowly in front of the high-ranking officials in such a tense atmosphere and with such sharp conflicts was none other than Orochimaru, who was busy in the Root laboratory.

Orochimaru observed the situation and thought to himself that Tsunade, that reckless woman, had been tricked by the village's higher-ups again.

Tsunade's strength has just reached the Kage level, and she is no match for Hiruzen and Danzo. Why make things so tense?
"You're disturbing my experiment," Orochimaru said.
"Why don't I act as the middleman?"

Tsunade, you took Kato Dan's niece, but you must give me the Seal of the Tongue Disaster.

I will oversee the use of the Tongue-Severing Seal, and I will absolutely not allow it to be used on the Senju clan or anyone else Tsunade has chosen. How does that sound?

Tsunade hesitated.

Orochimaru gave himself a way out.

Since last night, she had been anxiously searching for Shizune everywhere, until Orochimaru told her that Shizune had been captured by Danzo.

Orochimaru was an important ally of his in the village. As long as Orochimaru supported him, the village leaders could not do anything to him.

Just like the vote at the Jonin meeting, as long as Orochimaru stands up, everyone, from the higher-ups to the other Jonin, has to shut up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt bitter seeing Tsunade struggling with her dilemma. He knew Tsunade wouldn't listen to anything he said, but Orochimaru acted as a mediator, which calmed her down.

Then, Tsunade formed hand seals and summoned a large scroll.

The large scroll depicts the emblem of the Uzumaki clan, which is also the vortex pattern on the back of the ninja vest.

Danzo's eyes shone brightly; this was the Uzumaki clan's Book of Seals.

If he had this Book of Seals, his strength would increase even further.

Tsunade copied down the seal for eradicating the root of tongue-related troubles and threw it to Orochimaru.

"I've given you the techniques: the techniques of silence and spiritualization. You can no longer interfere."

Orochimaru glanced down at the sealing techniques, wondering how he had become the only beneficiary, making it seem as if he had deliberately arranged it. Heh.

Orochimaru said, "Yes, that's right. It is indeed a cursed seal imprinted on the brain, the seal that severs the root of tongue-related troubles."

Tsunade, carrying Shizune, jumped out of the large hole in the training ground.

When Ye Guang and the golden eagle arrived, they saw Tsunade leaving with a little girl.

Orochimaru was handing a scroll to Danzo.

Orochimaru said, "Advisor Danzo, don't make me break my promise to Tsunade. There are many ways to keep subordinates loyal, but sealing them is undoubtedly the worst one."

Like the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga clan, possessing a bloodline limit as strong as the Byakugan, yet raising half the clan to be useless.

Danzo didn't take it seriously and accepted the scroll.

He pulled hard on the scroll, but found that Orochimaru showed no sign of letting go.

Danzo had to say, "You can rest assured that I will not recruit Senju clan ninjas into the Anbu."

Orochimaru then released the scroll.

The golden eagle muttered beside Ye Guang, "Why? How many people from the Hyuga clan have sacrificed themselves in Root and Anbu? Why does the Senju clan have special privileges?"

And what about the Uchiha clan? Why didn't the Uchiha clan send anyone into the Anbu?

If we consider the Senju clan as an example, Tsunade seems to have suffered a great loss.

If we consider other ninja clans or common ninjas in Konoha, Tsunade enjoyed privileges that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

If you put yourself in the shoes of every child who was captured, then everyone in Konoha deserves to die.

Fairness is always a relative concept.

Ye Guang felt uneasy. Had Danzo obtained an important ninjutsu from Tsunade?
The new Root Man emerged from the darkness once more, gazing up at the large hole.

Bright light shone through the large hole left by Tsunade.

Light cannot dispel darkness.

Newcomers trained at the root have no future.

The four high-ranking officials of Konoha exchanged glances and then left.

Late at night, Tsunade finished her work at Konoha Hospital and closed her office door.

She suddenly turned her head and looked to the side.

A person wearing a hooded robe emerged from the adjacent restroom.

Who infiltrated her vicinity?

Upon seeing the mask, Tsunade recognized the person: the fox from the Anbu?

"Princess Tsunade, what technique did you use to exchange for Kato Shizune?"

Tsunade said, "Who are you asking me on behalf of? Why doesn't the Third Hokage ask Danzo himself?"

Yagami was reluctant to reveal her identity to Tsunade, but given that Danzo's strength was at stake, she had no choice but to do something.

He had just used his Byakugan to observe the area and found no scout ninjas targeting this spot.

"I'm sorry, Princess Tsunade, but Lord Yellow Dog desperately needs this information!"

Nightlight suddenly rushed towards Tsunade.

Tsunade was surprised that the fox attacked her, and threw a punch at the fox.

However, as the two approached, a curse mark suddenly appeared on the ground.

The seal of self-karma binding?

Tsunade heard that the Anbu had obtained many Uzumaki clan corpses, thereby acquiring some sealing techniques.

Tsunade paused in her movements.

Such powerful sealing chakra!
Is the fox's sealing technique really that talented?

Kushina once said that she almost lost control at the ninja academy, and it was an ANBU member wearing a fox mask who sealed away the scattered Nine-Tails chakra.

The fox suddenly increased its speed.

The next instant, Tsunade's abdomen was pressed down by the fox's five fingers.

Five elements seal!

Just as Yagami thought Tsunade was overrated and a bit weak, the diamond-shaped mark between Tsunade's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and Yin Seal Chakra burst forth.

Both the Self-Binding Curse Seal and the Five Elements Seal were instantly broken by the powerful chakra.

The luminescence receded to the side.

Tsunade has actually mastered the Yin Seal, reaching the threshold of becoming a Kage-level ninja.

Tsunade's face showed deep astonishment.

Her hands were even trembling slightly.

The Self-Karma Binding Seal is alright, but the Five Elements Seal just now... that chakra?

There's absolutely no mistake, it's the chakra unique to the Uzumaki clan!
The Five Elements Seal of an ordinary ninja has a completely different effect from the Five Elements Seal of the Uzumaki clan.

Tsunade was able to master the Yin Seal because her grandmother and mother were both from the Uzumaki clan.

The chakra of the Uzumaki clan naturally possesses sealing abilities, and sealing techniques in the hands of the Uzumaki clan are a level stronger than those in the hands of others.

Tsunade suddenly remembered an important piece of information.

On the night of the Nine-Tails' Yin-Yang sealing, Kushina said that someone had injected chakra into her at a crucial moment.

That chakra was clearly the chakra of the Uzumaki clan, possessing extremely strong sealing abilities.

It was that chakra that helped Kushina twice.

Otherwise, Kushina's condition would be even worse, and the Nine-Tails' rampage would kill even more Senju clan members.

At the most critical moment of the Nine-Tails' transfer and sealing, both her father, Senju Rinki, and her mother died, and Kushina was surrounded by ANBU.

"who are you!"

"I'm a fox."

Tsunade's excited expression quickly dissipated.

The fox is a member of Konoha's Anbu and must conceal his identity.

However, he possesses a strong vortex bloodline, meaning he is very likely a member of the Senju clan and has close ties with both the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

That's why he risked his life twice to help Kushina at the most critical moment of the Nine-Tails' transformation and sealing.

"Princess Tsunade, what technique did you use to exchange for Kato Shizune?"

Tsunade first sensed her surroundings and, finding no suspicious persons, quickly said, "Seal of the Root of Tongue Disaster."

"Don't investigate me. I will help the family again at the right time."

Ye Guang spoke vaguely, pretending to be a member of the Senju clan, and then vanished in an instant.

Run!

If we don't run now, we'll be exposed. Tsunade isn't someone you can fool.

Tsunade looked dejected. She wanted to say something to the fox, but she knew the fox was afraid of being exposed and couldn't stay any longer.

Tsunade hurried back to the clan's territory and entered Aunt Hanagi's courtyard.

"Aunt Huamu, did Father make any secret arrangements before he passed away?"

Qian Shou Hua Mu asked in confusion, "A hidden arrangement? What hidden arrangement?"

Tsunade said, "For example, planting spies in the Dark Side?"

Qian Shou Hua Mu shook his head: "I don't know. Before my brother's death, I never thought about managing the family and I didn't know the family's secrets."

If your father had made any arrangements, he wouldn't have told me back then.

Tsunade didn't get an answer, but she had a feeling that the fox was definitely not simple.

Other techniques can be imitated, and sealing techniques can be practiced diligently, but the sealing properties inherent in chakra cannot be faked.

She felt a pang of regret. The mark of the severing of the tongue seemed to have a significant effect on the fox, causing him to risk exposure to question her about whether she had made a mistake.

Late at night, the luminous light revealed the stone panda on the white porcelain.

"Bai Ci, give this scroll to You Jia."

Bai Ci nodded, and the reverse spiritual communication disappeared.

Upon seeing the scroll's contents, Yuga summoned the Whirlpool Tide and the Whirlpool Source Tide.

"Let's go! The fox has brought us new information. We'll go to Kyoto in the Land of Grass to investigate the Shimura clan's guardian ninja."

Kyoto, the land of grass, has always followed the migration of pastures and has no fixed location.

Danzo Shimura's power seems to be rebounding, and Fox says they need to intensify their crackdown.
