Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 268 How Will You Continue to Hold Power
As Yako entered Hatake Sakumo's tent, he saw Hatake Sakumo and Mitokado Homura sitting behind a table.

A quick glance around revealed the uneasy looks on the faces of the staff officers around him, suggesting that the conversation between Hatake Sakumo and Mitokado Homura had not been pleasant.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "We've already won, so why bother?"

Mitokado Homura's voice still carried a hint of anger as he said, "Fox, take a squad of ANBU members and come with me to negotiate."

"Yes, Lord Mitokado Homura."

Mitokado Yan and his four assistants, along with Yoru and the deer squad, left the temporary camp together.

Sometimes, Ye Guang felt that he was being a bit biased, being too nice to the Aries and Deer teams, but only so nice to the Hippo and Yak teams.

He also never targeted the hippopotamus and yak squads.

For many important missions, he still trusted the Aries and Deer teams more.

On the way, Mitokado Homura asked, "Fox, this conflict might produce 3 to 4 Jonin. Do you have any recommendations?"

In an instant, Yagami understood why Mitokado Homura and Hatake Sakumo had a conflict.

Logically speaking, a major victory in the conflict is a good thing, and Mitokado Homura wouldn't make things difficult for Hatake Sakumo at this time.

Sakumo Hatake must have been recommended by a ninja in front of Homura Mitokado.

Sakumo Hatake worked hard and made great contributions, but he just doesn't understand that great merit doesn't necessarily mean a generous reward.

Ye Guang said, "Lord Mitokado Homura, I recommend Aries to become a Jonin."

Aries's parasitic insect technique is getting stronger and stronger, especially after mastering the use of the Ten Seals of Nightlight, which can generate a huge number of insect swarms in a short period of time.

A larger insect colony means more mutations and greater diversity.

The most important training for the Aburame clan is to cultivate superior parasites separately and continuously produce even stronger offspring.

Sometimes, the Aburame clan's strength has already reached its limit, but a certain mutation of the parasitic insect may bring the Aburame ninjas into a second spring, breaking through their limits.

Seeing Mitokado Homura looking at him, Yakou quickly explained:
"Aries, a ninja of the Aburame clan, named Aburame Kinka."

To date, Aries has completed three S-rank missions, meeting the requirements for promotion to Jonin.

His strength is still growing rapidly, and he will only become stronger in the future. I recommend him to become a Jonin.

Mitokado Yan nodded repeatedly, saying, "It's much better than Shinma and Shirakumo Morning, which were recommended by Hatake Sakumo."

The Shimura clan lost two Jonin in the Land of Grass, and in this conflict in the Land of Hot Springs, there is a special Jonin from the Shimura clan waiting for promotion.

Let's promote one member from the Dark Division as well, to take up one spot.

After the Anbu were streamlined into four squads, they adopted an elite force approach, with Jonin serving as squad leaders, which was not excessive.

As for Sakumo Hatake, he recommended two people, but he couldn't refuse both; he'd probably approve one and reject the other.

Ye Guang thought to himself that he hadn't lost out.

On the surface, Sakumo Hatake recommends two people and only agrees with one, but if you round up, Aries is also considered one of Sakumo Hatake's people.

Upon arriving in a city in the Land of the Moon, the samurai led the way, and Mitokado Homura and Yako entered a deep mansion.

The nobleman offered his mansion as the venue for the meeting.

This residence has a distinctive mountainous character, with several courtyards rising in tiers, each courtyard being half a story higher than the one in front, creating a layered and upward-reaching effect.

Although nobles lived in constant fear and were vulnerable to assassination by ninjas, their living conditions were actually quite good.

Living like a local tyrant in a town like this is quite comfortable.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Mitomon Homura and Yoru sat on two cushions.

Behind them, their assistants and the deer squad stood on either side.

On the mat opposite were Kumogakure's advisor, Miki, and Raikage's assistant, Tsuchikage. Tsuchikage's strength was mediocre, and Yakko didn't need his Lava Release: Gum-Gum bloodline ability, so she turned to look at Miki.

This tall, thin middle-aged man is a master of Lightning Release from Kumogakure and a trusted advisor to the Third Raikage.

It's unclear whether Mimoi is skilled in Lightning Instantaneous Body Technique. Next, we need to continue dealing with Root, and Yagami urgently needs to strengthen the small White Demon.

Mimoi slammed his fist into the ground, causing the floor to crack instantly: "Mitomon Homura! Konoha has gone too far!"

Ye Guang pressed his hand on the floor, reinforcing it with Earth Release chakra.

The floor two meters in front of Mitokado En was completely intact.

Mitokado Homura nodded in satisfaction and said, "Oh? How has Konoha gone too far?"

"After the war ended, Konoha first sent White Fang to attack the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Ryuujin, at the port, and then sent Orochimaru to invade Kumogakure, killing the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Burubi!" Mimoi stared at the fox and said:
"In this war, you killed Garui, the patriarch of the Storm Clan!"

Are you planning a surprise attack?! Are you trying to start the Third Shinobi World War?!

Faced with Mima's fiery temper, Mitokado Homura calmly said:
"Don't rush, you Cloud Ninja are always in a hurry. Let's talk about it one by one."

Garui died on the battlefield because he was not strong enough.

"We are ninjas; if we die on the battlefield, do we expect the village to avenge us? Don't be so foolish, Mimoi."

"You!" Yu Moyi was angry, but didn't know how to refute him.

Mitomon said, "As for the two Jinchūriki incidents, why don't you reflect on them?"
The Cloud Ninja spies never gave up on Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and once almost kidnapped him.

This can be considered retaliation for your plot to seize the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; at most, it evens out.

Tsuchida's breathing became heavier; he knew about the incident where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was stolen.

At that time, the spies of the Hidden Cloud Village in Konoha discovered that several factions were fighting amongst themselves within Konoha, and that the relationship between Konoha and the Senju clan was bad. They believed that they could take advantage of the internal strife in Konoha to kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

They almost succeeded, but then the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's classmate suddenly appeared and defeated the spy from Kumogakure.

The name Minato Namikaze appeared for the first time in the Raikage's office.

Mitokado Homura continued, "I've heard you've mastered the perfect Jinchuriki. Konoha doesn't believe it. Let's try it."

Now that it's all been tested, you guys were definitely bragging and trying to make yourselves look good.

"If you knew this would happen, why did you even make that boast about a perfect Jinchuriki?"

Mimo stopped shouting and her voice suddenly lowered, threatening Mitomon Homura:

"It seems you have no idea that you are starting a war!"

"Just you wait! My Hidden Cloud Village will not swallow this insult. The deaths of Brubi and Garui—Konoha must pay the price!"

Mitokado Homura, exuding an imposing aura, spoke at this moment, instantly overshadowing Mimai:

"Konoha has never been afraid of war. A third Shinobi World War a year later is not out of the question. If you want war, Konoha will give you war."

Ye Guang was surprised. Was Mitokado Yan really that powerful?

Tsuchida spoke up from the side: "Mitomon Homura, let's exchange ceasefire agreements."

I know you're bluffing. Your Konoha lost over 4000 people in the Second Shinobi World War.

Do you think you can start the Third Shinobi World War just because you have tens of thousands of ninjas now?
"If another 2000 Konoha ninjas die, how can you six Second Hokage guards, who fled from the Land of Lightning like defeated dogs, and ambitious schemers eager to return to Konoha and seize power, continue to hold sway?"

Yako noticed that Mitokado Homura's expression had changed.

Amidst an unfriendly and heated verbal exchange, Mitomon Homura and Mimai exchanged ceasefire agreements.

Neither side made any demands for compensation. After two months of fighting, they achieved nothing except for the deaths and injuries of many ninjas.
