Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 254: The Seal to Root Out the Tongue
The assassination of Shimura Kotobuki was originally intended to strike at Danzo, but unexpectedly it helped Hatake Sakumo by a twist of fate, which was a pleasant surprise.

It seems that as long as you work hard on Danzo, you will eventually be rewarded.

The Fox Squad is about to head to the border of the Land of Hot Springs.

Purple Cat followed Captain Fox into Vice Minister Yellow Dog's office.

The yellow dog and the fox chatted about what they needed to be aware of when going to the Land of Hot Springs.

The last topic is a request from the fox.

"Minister, when I was training Jonin at Root, I discovered a newcomer, Yamanaka Ryu. She has great potential. I hope she can join my squad."

"Oh?" the yellow dog said, "Yamano Ryu, why does that name sound so familiar?"

He looked at the purple cat behind the fox and remembered that the purple cat's real name was Yamanaka Riki.

The fox was afraid that the purple cat's sister would be assigned to Danzo's Root.

Becoming a Root ninja is indeed terrifying.

Yellow Dog said, "Okay. Come with me, we're going to the root to get people now."

"Thank you, Minister!"

Nightlight and Purple Cat followed Yellow Dog to the Roots.

The Root Base is also in the Death Forest, 1 kilometer away from the Dark Base.

After entering the root area, the yellow dog arrived at the training ground and saw the newcomers and children training.

He gestured for Bing to come over.

Bing quickly went to the yellow dog's side.

Huang Quan said, "The Dark Division is preparing to recruit 5 more members. Let's send the more capable new recruits directly into the Dark Division. Bing, bring me the list and training records."

Bing asked Gui to bring the scroll.

The scroll records the list of new recruits and their performance during training.

Bing said from the side, "Lord Yellow Dog, these new recruits haven't even completed three months of training. Isn't it a bit irresponsible to send them into the Dark Division so soon?"

The yellow dog said, "The lynx squad is going to the Land of Grass, and the fox squad is going to the Land of Hot Springs."

Both squads will soon suffer casualties, so arrange for replacements in advance.

The new recruits are all Chunin or Special Jonin; the team leaders will train them during missions.

Soon, the yellow dog had chosen five people.

Ye Guang thought to himself, if Huang Quan had chosen only one person, Bing might have noticed something was amiss and refused Huang Quan's request. Now that five people had been chosen, one of whom was Yamanaka Ryu, everything made much more sense.

Bing said, "Lord Yellow Dog, please wait a moment. I will take these five people to see Lord Danzo and obtain his approval."

Seeing that everything was going so smoothly, the purple cat was very excited.

The five followed Bing away from the training ground.

The moonlight shines on the 20 children.

They trained very hard. Instead of enjoying their carefree time before starting school, they were practicing physical skills in a very professional manner.

It's obvious to the naked eye that several children are exceptionally talented.

I waited for quite a while; it took a long time.

Purple Cat looked at Fox uneasily, and Night Light also felt that the five of them had been gone for too long.

After a long while, the five of them followed Bing back to the training ground.

Bing said, "Lord Yellow Dog, you may take these five people away now."

The yellow dog nodded and led the people away.

After entering the dark area, Yellow Dog said to Butterfly, "Butterfly, let a few squad leaders pick people."

Ye Guang chose Yamanaka Ryu and left first.

Purple Cat excitedly led Yamanaka Ryu into her office.

As the squad leader's assistant, Purple Cat has a separate scroll room where she stores the squad's various scrolls, which also serves as her office.

After removing Ryu's root training mask, Purple Cat excitedly said, "Don't be afraid, Ryu, it's me."

The purple cat saw a pale and frightened face.

Despite having not seen each other for less than a month, Liu's expression changed drastically; the little girl's liveliness and charm had vanished.

Instead, there was panic and post-traumatic fear.

"Ryu, what's wrong!"

Ryu said, "It's nothing. We can't call each other sisters in the Anbu. Purple Cat, what's my code name?"

Purple Cat felt sad: "Let's go, I'll take you to find Squad Leader Fox. He'll decide your code name and assign you a mask."

The two entered the fox's office.

Purple Cat said, "Captain, the new recruits don't have code names or masks yet."

As Yagami pondered, the wait was long when he went to Root to take the new recruit away. The recruit was taken by Bing to see Danzo. Could it be...?
"I understand. I'll talk to the newcomer alone first to see what she's good at, and then decide which team she should join. Purple Cat, you can go ahead and get busy."

After the purple cat left, Ye Guang casually asked some questions about Yamanaka Ryu to put her at ease.

Ryu Yamanaka said she was skilled in the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, and had also learned some medical ninjutsu.

Beneath the table, the luminescence had already formed a mark.

The Magical Nirvana Abode Technique!

With Nightlight's current strength, even Yamanaka Ryu, an elite Chunin-level ninja, cannot resist Nightlight's genjutsu.

Feathers drifted down, and Yamanaka Ryu instantly fell asleep.

Ye Guang quickly stepped forward, supported Yamanaka Ryu, and carried her to the table.

He removed Yamanaka Ryu's mask and saw a handsome but pale face.

She looks a lot like Rika Yamanaka, but is younger and has more collagen.

Nightlight pinched Yamanaka Ryu's face, making her stick out her tongue.

Seeing that there was nothing on his tongue, Ye Guang didn't believe it.

He formed a hand seal and casually used a dispelling technique.

"Five Elements Unsealing!"

The unsealing techniques corresponding to the Five Elements Seals are used to break the chakra restrictions.

It is only because of the special chakra of Night Light and the powerful sealing attribute brought by the Uzumaki bloodline that the Tongue Calamity Seal can be activated.

Ryu Yamanaka turned his head uncomfortably, but did not wake up.

On her tongue, a curse mark appeared: the seal of the severing of the root of tongue calamity!
The Dun hexagram in the Sixty-Four Hexagrams consists of two yin lines and four yang lines.

Ye Guang's face was gloomy.

He was prepared to let Danzo off the hook for the time being, to give Danzo a chance to catch his breath, but Danzo did not give him that opportunity.

They actually carved the seal of "the root of all evil" on Yamanaka Ryu.

If nothing unexpected happens, Danzo wants Yamanaka Ryu to gather intelligence for him.

Danzo's greatest asset was his intelligence network.

Danzo possessed all of Konoha's secret intelligence.

The Root organization suffered heavy losses, and Danzo's intelligence system malfunctioned.

It's unclear whether Danzo was gathering intelligence on the Anbu or targeting him personally.

When Yamanaka Ryu woke up, he found himself standing against the wall.

“You’re awake,” Ye Guang said. “It seems the training at Root has been very intense, leaving you so weak.”

"You should rest with Purple Cat for the next couple of days. Once you've rested enough, I'll arrange for you to join a squad."

After the purple cat left, Nightlight came into the corridor.

I sensed that the Golden Eagle squad was not at the root base.

He sneaked into the Golden Eagle squad's locker room.

The newcomer is wiping his ninja sword.

Feathers began to fall, and the newcomer quickly became drowsy.

After removing the mask, Ye Guang used the Five Elements Unsealing Seal to stimulate the curse seal and saw that the person also had the seal of "Tongue Disaster Extinction" on their tongue.

In the middle of the night, Ye Guang walked out of his office and discovered that there were three people in the Black Ant squad's locker room.

Infiltrating the Black Ant squad's locker room, three new recruits wearing white faceless masks were leaning against the corner of the wall.

The attack still begins with the Magical Nirvana Abode technique.

Without the strength of a Jonin, one cannot counter Nightlight's genjutsu.

Ye Guang examined the three men one by one and found that all three had the mark of "the root of trouble in the tongue."

In other words, when the yellow dog went to demand the people, Danzo had already placed the "Tongue Twister Seal" on all five newcomers after waiting for so long.

The bad news is that Danzo has planted spies around him.

The good news is that Danzo wasn't targeting himself; he was targeting everyone in the Anbu.

The Black Ant Squad, in particular, was the Third Hokage's most trusted squad. They were responsible for protecting the Hokage Building, relaying orders, and analyzing intelligence.

With three new recruits joining three squads, what other secrets does the Black Ant Squad hold?
Ye Guang did not report these problematic newcomers to Huang Quan.

He could get Yuka Uzumaki to help him research ways to break the seal, but Yellow Dog didn't have that kind of convenience.

Let them fight! It would be better if Danzo and the Third Hokage fought, so that he could take advantage of the chaos.

Yagami is preparing to go to the Land of Hot Springs. First, she will assist Hatake Sakumo in gaining reputation, thus avoiding the period when Danzo is acting like a mad dog and biting people indiscriminately.
