Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 294 The Yellow Dog is Helpless

The atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Mitokado Homura stepped in to smooth things over: "Hiruzen, it seems that Madara Uchiha really does have a base in this canyon."

Madara Uchiha's understanding of the village far exceeded our imagination.

The First Hokage trusted him too much back then; he must have found a way to infiltrate Konoha and obtain information about the village.

The protection of the sealed book must be strengthened.

Perhaps Madara Uchiha obtained the Five Elements Great Barrage from the Scroll of Seals.

Mitokado Homura defended Hiruzen Sarutobi; if he didn't, Danzo would likely explode.

The Five Elements Great Combo is a strategic ninjutsu that can create large-scale explosive destruction.

As long as there is enough chakra, there is no limit to the destructive power of this technique.

Looking at the traces left by the various escaping techniques in the canyon, Hiruzen Sarutobi said:

"Each individual ninjutsu is at the level of an elite Jonin, and the culprit must be at least a Kage-level ninja."

It's worrying that one of Madara Uchiha's subordinates possesses such strength.

Let's put aside the enemy's strength for now and talk about the impact of this tragedy.

Danzo, what are your thoughts? Should the Root Sect be rebuilt?

Ye Guang wondered if Hiruzen Sarutobi had any intention of taking this opportunity to abolish Root.
In the original story, Danzo once sent someone to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi. Could it be because Hiruzen Sarutobi had been trying to weaken the domains?
"What are your thoughts?" Danzo roared.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi! Your Sarutobi clan has produced a rogue ninja named Sarutobi Kanosuke!"
It was his Five Elements Great Combo!
You ask me what I think? Let me ask you first! Why did you hide the matter of Sarutobi Kanosuke?!

Sarutobi Kanosuke?
Mitokado Yan and Orochimaru turned their heads at the same time to look at the yellow dog.

The yellow dog's name is Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

At this moment, the yellow dog felt helpless.

Could it be that the old lecherous father has an illegitimate child?

He knew Hiruzen Sarutobi; for a time, Hiruzen Sarutobi often went to the women's bathroom with Jiraiya to spy on women.

The Hokage, a figure of great stature, was spying on female villagers!

Because of the spying incident, the mother often scolded the father.

Could it be that the illegitimate child became a rogue ninja because he couldn't gain the approval of his lecherous father?
Huang Quan thought for a moment and realized that his uncles, Sarutobi Hibi and Sarutobi Hiyu, had both learned the Five Elements Great Combo from his father, so they might not necessarily be his father's illegitimate children.

Sarutobi Hippo's son and his cousin, Sarutobi Einosuke, was highly regarded by the family and had also learned the Five Elements Great Combo.

As for Hiyuu Sarutobi, relying on being the youngest son of his grandfather Sarutobi Sasuke, he was a womanizer and even more lecherous than his father.

He has many illegitimate children.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "It's absolutely impossible that he's a rogue ninja from the Sarutobi clan! I know the Sarutobi clan well; even if they were rogue ninjas, they would never have joined Madara Uchiha's side."

This is outrageous! So much so that..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Homura Mitokado, whose eyes clearly said, "Because it's so outrageous, it might actually be true."

Otherwise, how do you explain the Five Elements Great Combo?
It's difficult to master the Five Elements Ninjutsu, but it's even more difficult to also understand the secret technique of triggering a massive explosion by countering the five elements.

Aside from the Sarutobi clan, where else can the Five Elements Great Combo Technique be passed down?

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The Sharingan has the ability to copy ninjutsu."

Perhaps in one of my battles, Madara Uchiha secretly watched from the sidelines and copied my technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not pin the blame on the Sarutobi clan, so he could only desperately try to shift the blame onto Madara Uchiha.

After all, it's not too far-fetched that Madara Uchiha would master a forbidden technique.

Now, how the Five Elements Great Barrage was leaked is unimportant; what matters is that Madara Uchiha has become a major threat to the village. Danzo said, "Upon returning to the village, we must immediately conduct two investigations!"

First! Find out who the rogue ninja Sarutobi Kanosuke is!
Your Sarutobi clan is to blame!
The Sarutobi clan must take responsibility for the damage to the roots!

Hiruzen Sarutobi took out his pipe, took a puff, sighed, and exhaled.

It seems... the Sarutobi clan really can't escape this turmoil.

The yellow dog felt bitter; this task was about to fall on his shoulders.

No matter who is implicated, it won't be pleasant.

Putting aside the others, Sarutobi Hikaru, the second strongest member of the Sarutobi clan, is crucial to succeeding his father as clan leader.

Why did Madara Uchiha's subordinates use his signature forbidden technique?
He said, "Alright, the Sarutobi clan will conduct an internal investigation and get to the bottom of it. Danzo, what about the second investigation?"

Danzo continued, "My roots are almost completely destroyed!"

If the Anbu or other ninja squads encountered Madara Uchiha and his subordinates, wouldn't they all be wiped out?
Madara Uchiha possessed two of Konoha's top bloodline limits: the Sharingan and Wood Release. One of his subordinates could easily master the Five Elements Great Combo.

Shouldn't we go all out to deal with this kind of strength?

Madara Uchiha was not some old, rogue ninja, but a terrifying enemy capable of destroying Konoha.

The battle with Madara Uchiha was not about capturing rogue ninja; it was war!
Send a commander-in-chief, two deputy commanders, and at least five hundred elite ninjas to fight Uchiha Madara!

Ye Guang thought to himself, "This is not good."

He wanted to play a point-to-point sniping game with Danzo, but Danzo couldn't win and, in a fit of anger, escalated the war.

The problem is that Danzo would never act as the commander-in-chief or deputy commander of a war he initiated.

Danzo doesn't even have a single capable henchman left; the entire Root organization is wiped out.

"War?" After a moment's thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed with Danzo's idea and asked:
Who do you think is suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the war?

Danzo first looked at Orochimaru.

"I won't go." Orochimaru said decisively, "Taking 500 ninjas to deal with a rogue ninja, I've already lost regardless of the outcome of the war."

We won the war, we killed Madara Uchiha, 500 people killed one person, am I proud of that?

"We lost the war, and with 500 men we couldn't even kill a single person. How can I be the Fourth Hokage?"

Ye Guang couldn't help but turn his head to look around.

He was surrounded only by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, Kinjiro, and himself; the other Anbu members were standing at a distance.

Fortunately, they didn't hear Orochimaru speak so frankly... so directly?
Sometimes I really envy Orochimaru's carefree attitude; he says whatever he wants, like a venomous snake, but direct.

Orochimaru continued, "Furthermore, the best way to deal with Wood Release is for us to also master Wood Release."

The Wood Release research has yielded very good results after changing the test subjects. I believe I've found the right approach, and perhaps we'll see results within the next year or two.

Orochimaru's statement about changing the test subjects refers to finding children in the village who, like Kazamatsuri Yuzu's son, possess half of the Senju bloodline.

Wood Release is indeed more effective when tested on the Senju clan.

Mitokado Homura said, "Uchiha Madara is incredibly powerful. Should we make Hatake Sakumo the commander-in-chief?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.

These guards of the Second Hokage had all seen Madara Uchiha when they were children.

They were terrified of Madara Uchiha from the bottom of their hearts.

Madara Uchiha beat them up like an adult beating a child, literally an adult beating a child.
