Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 249 Continues to weaken the root
The tone of Yakushi Nonou was filled with worry and anxiety.

Do you know where the seven children from the orphanage went?

Hearing her ask that, Ye Guang said, "Of course I know, they are trained at the Roots."

"I can't get into the root. Can you tell me what kind of training they do in the root?"

"What kind of training can be done at the root? Nothing more than some routine training," Ye Guang continued.

"For example, routine autopsies, routine infighting, routine erosion of feelings, and so on."

It's a pity they've all lost their parents, otherwise I would have trained them to go home and wipe out their entire families.

Ye Guang added in his mind, "Just like Uchiha Itachi."

Yakushi Nonou's heart suddenly tightened.

To the foxes in the shadows, these training sessions were routine, but to normal people, every single one of them was utterly heinous.

They are all only 4 years old.

Yakushi Nonou felt a wave of dizziness.

She then asked, "There's an attrition rate in the Root Training program. Out of my seven children, how many will ultimately be accepted into the Root Training program?"

Ye Guang said, "Of the 10 official ninjas in Root, Orochimaru took one spot, leaving 9 spots."

From what Bing said, 5 spots will be given to adult ninjas, and 4 spots will be given to ninjas who have been trained in Root since childhood.

This training program will involve 20 children, and ultimately 4 will remain.

The remaining 16 people will be the final opponents for the four.

Having trained together for years, they had developed some bond. Killing their comrade would allow them to complete the final step of Root training, completely erasing their own emotions.

Ye Guang remembered that Sai in the original work was someone who, after years of training with Root, eventually killed his brother Shin and became a qualified Root ninja.

"In other words, of the seven children you donated to your orphanage, 1.4 will eventually survive," Ye Guang said after a pause.

"It could be 1 plus 0.4, or maybe 0.9 plus 0.5. Sometimes a disabled ninja can be surprisingly effective, don't you think?"

Yakushi Nonou knew that foxes were ferocious and terrifying, but she didn't know that a fox would so bluntly reveal the children's miserable condition.

"I want to rescue those children."

Not everyone is Tsunade; Yakushi Nonou doesn't have Tsunade's privileges.

"Haha." Ye Guang laughed: "Walking witch, I admit your spy skills are not bad, but your combat power is not enough."

What, are you going to disguise yourself as Danzo, infiltrate Root, and release those children?

Let alone you, even I, at the root, have to obediently coil up.

unless···"

Yakushi Nonou grasped at her last straw: "Unless what?"

"If you want those children to live, you have to keep weakening the roots."

How to weaken the root?

Yakushi Nonou hated Root to the core, but her power was insufficient to fight Danzo. She could only exchange information with Danzo time and time again to persuade him to spare the orphanage.

Yako said, "Yakushi Nonou is secretly fighting against Root and could be killed by Danzo at any time. How can I trust you?"

Several plans came to mind for Pharmacist Nonou, and her intuition told her that she should try to gain sympathy at this moment.

She always felt that the fox's apparent ferocity was a disguise for his survival in the shadows. She said:
"I know you're fighting against Danzo for the sake of Vice Minister Yellow Dog, and for power in the Dark Division."

You have formidable strength, as well as the support of the Hokage and the vice-commander of the Anbu.

I have nothing. I just want the orphanage to take in more children and for the children in the orphanage to grow up safely.

I just want to raise more children like Zhenli.

"I have nothing, am I not worthy of trust?"

As expected, after Yakushi Nonou finished speaking, the fox didn't ask any further questions. Yakko said, "I need information on all the ninjas of the Shimura clan, especially the Jonin."

Yakushi Nonou simply said, "Come back here in five days."

Five days passed quickly, and Yakushi Nonou indeed brought information about the Shimura clan's Jonin.

Ye Guang said, "Go back and wait for news. Lord Yellow Dog will continue to weaken Danzo until Danzo can no longer control Root and can no longer serve as the head of the Anbu."

In the basement of the izakaya, Ye Guang was reviewing intelligence reports.

The Shimura clan currently has 15 Jonin.

Among them, there are about 8 who truly deserve the title of Jonin, while the strength of the remaining 7 is questionable.

The seven individuals had no particularly outstanding achievements; they were all quickly recommended as Jonin after a lucky S-rank mission.

He's a mediocre Jonin, really mediocre, and might not even be considered top-tier among Special Jonin.

After being promoted, these seven Jonin had a low mission completion rate and were gradually assigned to important management positions by the higher-ups.

The various departments of the Hokage Building, the Guardian Ninja, and so on, are all positions that are not very dangerous but have great power.

It's the same in any world; administrative positions are filled by people with connections.

Those who do manual labor work themselves to the bone, suffering from the wrath of clients and superiors. If you go into administration or finance, you still have to put up with the wrath of those with connections. Can you believe it?

The light shone on two unusual names.

These two are Jonin Guardian Ninjas of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass: Shimura Kotobuki and Shimura Ryo.

Luckily, Shimura Ryo was just a mediocre Jonin.

A few days later, Ye Guang received a notification from the Contract Chakra in the middle of the night.

He quickly arrived at the underground training ground and conjured up white porcelain and white glaze through his spiritual senses.

They were already very skilled at making white porcelain and white glaze.

After Bai You went to Youjia's side and reversed the spiritual connection, Ye Guang appeared on the grassland.

The three—the Kappa Demon, the Vengeful Demon, and the Mourning Demon—await the White Demon.

Yu Jia said, "We found the Grass Country, Kyoto, which is migrating."

Tonight, the daimyo of the Land of Grass has temporarily set up camp not far away.

These temporary camps established during migrations are less fortified than those established after the capital is set up, making them the best opportunity for a surprise attack.

At the same time, Youjia handed over a picture.

The map shows the layout of a temporary encampment, the tents of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, and the locations of the guardian ninja.

Yu Jia continued, "The Daimyo of the Land of Grass has 12 Guardian Ninjas, 8 of whom are Konoha ninjas and 4 are trusted confidants recruited by the Daimyo."

Of the eight Konoha ninjas, two were Jonin of the Shimura clan, two were Special Jonin of the Shimura clan, one was a Hyuga clan ninja, and three were other ninjas.

The troublesome one is that Hyuga ninja.

Yujia's investigation was very thorough; she obtained information about the tent layout and personnel composition.

Now it is time for Nightlight to deliver the final blow and kill these four Shimura clan ninjas.

“It is indeed troublesome,” Ye Guang said, “but it’s not like there’s no way to solve it.”

The Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family has blind spots.

We can exploit the blind spot in the white eye's field of vision to devise a feint attack.

No one understands the Hyuga clan's Byakugan better than Ye Guang; his Byakugan is the main family's Byakugan without the Caged Bird Seal.

After looking at the map, Ye Guang said, "I need your help this time. I can't carry out the sneak attack by myself."

Whirlpool said, "We have long been prepared for battle and revenge. White Ghost, please state your battle plan."
