Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 269 Isn't my life a life too?
The peace talks have ended.

After leaving the town, Mitomon was extremely cautious: "We must be even more careful after the peace talks end."

Logically speaking, envoys should not be killed in battle. Ninjas have a low sense of morality, and it cannot be ruled out that some Cloud Ninjas might retaliate.

The Cloud Ninja have a history of this kind of thing, like when they ambushed the Second Hokage and a few of us who were there for peace talks.

Fox, stay alert; you can't let your guard down now.

These memories made Mitokado Yan appear tense.

"I understand, sir!"

Nightlight carefully protected Mitokado Homura as they left the Land of the Moon.

Mitokado Yan's condition only improved after they entered the Land of Hot Springs.

Mitokado Homura's worries were unnecessary; this time, the Cloud Ninja had no intention of killing the peace envoy.

Konoha won, and Mitokado Homura was also aggressive in the peace talks, but the fact that the peace talks were held in the Land of the Moon proves that Mitokado Homura is not as strong as he seems.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Kumogakure fought two battles against Konoha and Iwagakure, while Konoha fought five battles against the four great foreign countries plus Amegakure.

In terms of losses, Konoha suffered the most severe damage among the five great ninja villages.

In particular, the number of junior and junior ninja in Konoha suffered heavy casualties, and it will take several years to replenish the number of junior ninja.

Ye Guang sent Hua Lu to the temporary camp to bring the detachments along, and then followed Mitomon Homura to see the daimyo of Yu-no-Kuni and report the end of the conflict.

Upon hearing that the border conflict had ended, the daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs poured out his grievances to Mitomon Homura.

Many nobles died on the border, and the Kingdom of Tang suffered heavy losses.

Mitomon could only say that the conflict was over and there would be no more large-scale noble casualties.

Subsequently, the Fox Squad followed Mitokado Homura directly back to Konoha.

I didn't get to have a final chat with Sakumo Hatake, and I wonder how things are going with him.

On the way, Mitokado said, "Fox, with you protecting me, I feel much safer."

"My lord, we're almost at the Land of Fire. It's impossible for the Cloud Ninja to come here. Could there be anyone else who would dare to attack the Hokage's advisor from Konoha?"

Mitokado Homura said, "There is a force that has been targeting Konoha, and it poses a much greater threat to the village than Kumogakure."

The Root and Shimura clans, and even the Sarutobi clan, were frequently attacked and killed.

When you return to the village, you will see that Danzo has been eager to tear something apart lately, and I don't want to see him.

It's not fair to blame Danzo for his rage; that force was too ruthless. The Shimura clan has already lost two Jonin and several Special Jonin, and Root hasn't recovered in six months.

"It would be terrible if I were targeted; I don't have as many subordinates and clansmen as Danzo."

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Mitomon Yan, your worries are unnecessary. I'm not interested in you for the time being."

Mitokado Yanagi intended to communicate and interact more with the fox. The fox's strength and reputation were worthy of Mitokado Yanagi's attention.

When Homura Mitokado arrived at the Hokage Building, he asked Yako to come upstairs with him to report to the Hokage.

Upon entering the Hokage's office, Ye Guang felt that something was off.

Where did Orochimaru go?

For the past few months, Orochimaru had been standing by the Third Hokage's side, learning how the Third Hokage handled Konoha affairs.

Orochimaru is nowhere to be seen now. Has he lost power?
Mitokado Homura's next question resolved Yoru's doubts.

Mitokado Homura asked first, "How is Orochimaru's secret investigation in the Land of Rain going?"

Instead of mentioning the conflict in the Land of Hot Water, they talked about Orochimaru's secret investigation first, which shows that the higher-ups are more concerned about Orochimaru's progress.

The Third Hokage said, "There has been no progress. After entering the Land of Rain, the remnants of the vortex seem to have vanished."

The incessant rains of the Land of Rain erased all traces, making it impossible to find any remnants of the vortex using any means necessary. Orochimaru returned with a message that Hanzo had already taken notice of him.

Hanzo sent someone to ask if Jiraiya was in the Land of Rain and Orochimaru had also entered the Land of Rain, and whether they wanted to start another war.

I wrote to Hanzo, hoping to explain, but I couldn't tell Hanzo that Orochimaru was investigating the remnants of the Uzumaki clan, not targeting him.

We are allies with Uzumaki Village, so we can't exactly say we're hunting down remnants of the Uzumaki clan.

Hanzo didn't believe me. He thought that since Jiraiya and Orochimaru were both in the Land of Rain, there was only one possibility: they were looking for an opportunity to ambush him.

Orochimaru's investigation was hampered, forcing him to operate covertly, which slowed down his progress.

When Ye Guang heard that Orochimaru's investigation had been thwarted, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Another reason for Hanzo's outburst of anger was that Orochimaru captured some children in the Land of Rain who were skilled in Earth Release and Water Release."

Most people in the Land of Rain possess Water Release abilities, making it relatively easy to find those who also have Earth Release abilities.

Mitokado's expression changed, and he asked, "Has their research entered the final experimental stage?"

The "them" that Mitokado Homura was referring to were the secret experiments conducted by Danzo and Orochimaru.

The village's higher-ups all knew that Danzo and Orochimaru were researching Hashirama cells.

"Yes, so Orochimaru will be returning to the village soon."

"What about Orochimaru's investigation? The opposing forces are formidable; even two or three ordinary Jonin wouldn't be a match for them..."

As Mitokado Homura spoke, he turned his head and looked at the fox beside him.

The Third Hokage nodded and said, "Oto of the Root Clan died in the Battle of Whirlpool Country. The Root Clan has no good fighters left."

Danzo was unwilling to go himself, so another elite Jonin had to be sent to lead the team.

Although Danzo was a bit extreme, all his actions were for the sake of Konoha.

His roots and the Shimura clan were retaliated against, and he was also taking the bullet for us.

Someone always has to do the dirty work that others don't want to do, right?

What I mean is, let the fox lead the team to the Land of Rain to replace Orochimaru and continue the investigation.

Ye Guang was taken aback. "I'm checking myself?"
Orochimaru investigated, and Yoru worried about what would happen if he found out where the remnants of the Uzumaki clan were.
I went to investigate, but Ye Guang was worried that if he couldn't find anything, how would he explain himself?

The Konoha F4 are so vicious! Aren't they putting me in a very difficult position?
Mitokado Yan thought for a moment and said:

"The fox is strong enough. He can withstand a blow from the Third Raikage. Hanzo probably won't be able to do anything to him in a short time."

When Orochimaru enters the Land of Rain, Hanzo will be stimulated, as Hanzo understands the strength of the Sannin.

If the fox goes, firstly, its methods will be discreet and not easily exposed, and secondly, Hanzo won't be nervous.

There are quite a few ANBU from other ninja villages in the Land of Rain, after all, Hanzo calls himself a demigod and is ambitious enough to become the sixth great hidden village.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Isn't my life a life too?"
What if Hanzo catches you and beats you up?
Ye Guang said, "Lord Hokage, Lord Mitokado Homura, I will definitely complete the task assigned by you two."

However, the Dark Division also has a lot of work to do, with numerous missions both inside and outside the village. If I'm away with the squad leader for an extended period, what will happen to Lord Yellow Dog?

Ye Guang, who prides himself on being Huang Quan's number one confidant, has been in the Land of Hot Water for more than two months. Now that he is about to go to the Land of Rain, how can he still be Huang Quan's confidant?
The third generation leader smiled and said, "I understand your feelings. I'll go talk to Yellow Dog about it."

When you go to the Land of Rain to take over Orochimaru's mission, you don't need to bring the entire fox squad; just a small team will suffice.

In the Land of Rain, there are Root ninja and a lynx squad. Go and cooperate with the lynx; you'll be responsible for key battles.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

It's good to have other people around.

A brilliant plan suddenly formed in Ye Guang's mind...
First this, then that—won't Danzo suffer even more misfortune?
Thinking about the mischief he was about to do, Ye Guang became somewhat excited.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Yagami hurried to the Anbu base to meet Yellow Dog.
