Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 298 Preventing the Ninja Clan from Becoming Too Powerful
The three clans of pig, deer, and butterfly have sacrificed a lot for the village, and now they really want to rest and recuperate.

Today, Yamanaka Ien and Akimichi Yamashiro came to see the Hokage, and Nara Shikaku agreed.

The special Jonin of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan are all junior members of the family, and it would be heartbreaking to lose even one of them.

The Third Hokage announced that no ninja clan members would be conscripted for two years, which was excellent.

Shimura Danzo glanced at Nara Shikano's smug expression and said directly:

"Hiruzen's recruitment of ninja clans into the Anbu and Root was one of the important measures to prevent ninja clans from becoming too powerful."

This was our established strategy, why are you going back on your word?

Ye Guang was taken aback and quickly looked at the Third Generation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was priceless, like he'd swallowed a fly.

Preventing any ninja clan from becoming too powerful is indeed an important strategy for the higher-ups.

Whether it's the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Hyuga clan, or any other ninja clan.

But I can't say it in front of Nara Kaguya.

Some things you can do but can't talk about. Some things you can talk about but can't do.

Do you think Nara Shika doesn't know? He knows everything.

But to say it to his face would be a bit of a slap in the face. Do you want Nara's antlers to explode or not?

If internal conflicts cannot be resolved, the only options are to wage war against external forces or to launch a purge within the country.

Recruiting ninja from various clans into the Root and Anbu was a gentler approach between war and purges, delaying the outbreak of internal conflicts.

In peacetime, the Anbu can be used to systematically weaken the ninja clans.

For example, the Aburame clan, even Yoru felt sorry for them.

They contributed several skilled members of the clan, keeping this powerful but small ninja clan in a state of constant decline.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Danzo! Don't make assumptions about the Second Hokage's policies!"

The Anbu are the sharpest blades that carry out high-difficulty missions for the village; Anbu ninjas are the heroes of Konoha hidden in the shadows!
The Anbu is definitely not a means to weaken the ninja clan!

Since the Warring States period, the Sarutobi clan has been a witness to the alliance of the Ino-Shika-Cho triad. I have absolutely no intention of weakening the Ino-Shika-Cho triad!

Yagami thought to himself that Hiruzen Sarutobi was clever enough to shift all the blame onto the Second Hokage.

The Dark Side was established by the Second Hokage, so even if there are any problems, they are the Second Hokage's problems. He is just continuing to manage the village according to the Second Hokage's wishes.

Nara Shikaku certainly knows everything, but he won't expose it.

If he became Hokage, he would do the same things as Danzo.

Preventing any one ninja clan from becoming too powerful is something that not only the Hokage does, but also the Kage of other villages are doing.

In particular, Kirigakure, which suffered greatly from the troubles of powerful ninja clans, seized the opportunity to strike a deadly blow against the bloodline ninja clans.

The situation in Konoha Village is too complicated. Danzo handled the dark affairs very well. Whoever is the Hokage has to rely on someone like Danzo.

Danzo said, "It is impossible not to recruit ninja clan members for two years."

The abilities of ninjas from the ninja clan are irreplaceable.

For example, the Yamanaka clan has a secret technique for reading information from corpses, and the Hyuga clan has a super-long-range perception technique.

My bottom line is that I won't recruit any ninjas for a maximum of one year.

After a heated argument, Danzo made concessions on the issues of the spy system and the recruitment of ninja clans, which was already a great concession to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The two eventually reached an agreement: no ninja clan members would be recruited for a year, and civilian ninjas would be the primary recruits.

As the argument dragged on, Ye Guang lost all interest in listening.

The other three people in the room seemed to have forgotten that Ye Guang was originally a commoner ninja.

What? Ninja clan members don't want to go to Root, but do you think commoner ninjas are willing to go?
-
The full moon was like a silver plate.

A new full moon cycle has begun.

Ye Guang was worried for You Jia. All the other women had started having sex, so why was You Jia's belly still not showing any signs of pregnancy?
If Yuga could have a child, the connection between the remnants of the vortex and herself would be even stronger.

Yu Jia's child also bears the surname Whirlpool. If Ye Guang and Yu Jia raise him carefully, he is very likely to compete for the position of patriarch of the Whirlpool clan.

Just then, Qiaoyi and Zimao became pregnant, so Yeguang focused all his firepower on Youjia.

He not only put in the effort and sweat, but also frequently comforted Yuka, helping her relax and not be too stressed about the Uzumaki clan.

After a long and arduous hour with Yuga, Yeguang returned to Konoha Village.

He arrived at the training ground late at night and began to think about how to further improve himself.

In terms of ninjutsu, he already has 8 mastery-level ninjutsu.

The large fox can use Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear, Water Release: Water Severing Wave, and Self-Karmic Binding Seal, all of which are mastered to a high level.

The smaller version of Sarutobi Kanosuke possesses five mastery-level Five Elements Ninjutsu and the S-rank forbidden technique, Five Elements Great Combo. Regarding chakra refinement, water-style chakra can only be condensed, not crystallized.

His ninjutsu is comprehensive enough, with no weaknesses.

Chakra level 2.4 times that of an elite Jonin.

Chakra levels increase naturally through physical constitution, which seems a bit slow.

There's nothing particularly in need of improvement, so let's focus on increasing our chakra levels.

Use the system to quickly raise your chakra level to Kage rank.

Searching for Kage-level ninjas only yields Elite Jonin-level chakra levels, which is somewhat wasteful.

Finding a regular Jonin and raising their chakra level to one-fifth of that of an elite Jonin is not enough.

The next step is to select suitable elite Jonin.

There aren't many elite Jonin in Konoha. What if they all run out?
Do we have to rely on a very small amount of skill to reach the Jonin level?

That's a huge undertaking; it takes five Jonin to equal the effort of one Elite Jonin.

The assassination manual is very important; it contains a lot of information about Jonin and elite Jonin.

Ye Guang waited for several days, but Huang Quan did not arrange for him to take over the spy system.

He secretly inquired and eventually learned that the yellow dog had gained an assistant: a gibbon.

The spy system is too important. The spy systems of the two major powers, which were handed over from the root, were ultimately controlled by the long-armed ape.

As far as Ye Guang knows, the long-armed ape is a Jonin of the Sarutobi clan, the cousin of the yellow dog, and Sarutobi Einosuke.

Ye Guang glanced in the direction of Huang Quan's office, his eyes turning cold.

It seems the yellow dog still trusts the Sarutobi clan more...

I shed blood for the Dark Division, I performed meritorious service for the Dark Division, and what happened? Yellow Dog's cousin reaped the rewards.

He picked my peaches though...

The next morning, Huang Quan summoned Ye Guang and asked him to go to the Hokage Building, to the office of the Jonin team leader of Nara Shikaku.

Nightlight showed no sign of anything amiss, and Yellow Dog couldn't tell that Nightlight had any objection to the gibbon picking peaches.

Yellow Dog said, "Fox, Lord Deer Antlers suggests hiding some of the targets in the assassination manual among the bounty targets in the underground gold exchange."

As the representative of the Dark Guard, go and hear Lord Shikano's arrangements.

"Okay, Minister."

Upon entering Nara Kazuno's office, Yoru saw Nara Umeka.

He once saved Nara Baika during the War of the River Country.

"The fox is here."

"Lord Deer Antlers."

After exchanging pleasantries, Nara Shikaku said, "Fox, I'm going to forge a mission client from an underground gold exchange and issue a bounty on a Jonin from an enemy village."

Nara Umeka was specifically in charge of this matter.

You and Meixiang go to investigate the underground gold exchange and issue a bounty.

The targets listed in the Anbu Assassination Manual will be assassinated with bounties to prevent other ninja villages from retaliating without any limits.

This investigation into the underground gold exchange will be led by Meixiang, and you will be responsible for her protection.

"clear."

After receiving their mission, Nara Meika and Yako headed to the main gate of Konoha Village.

Nightlight watched Nara Meika's retreating figure from behind, wondering whether he should use his chakra on her...
The next instant, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Ye Guang's forehead.

No! I've already died at Nara Baika's hands once.

He also learned the Shadow Imitation Technique from Nara Baika.

This terrible memory...

Dying twice at the hands of the same person is a real possibility.

This also serves as a reminder to myself to create a death record for the Moonlit Arc, so that I don't forget who killed me over time.

Be careful in the future. If you've died at someone's hands once, kill them as soon as you're resurrected to avoid any unexpected problems later.

As Ye Guang's thoughts shifted, Nara Baixiang seemed to sense it and turned to look at the fox.

The glow in the night made it seem like nothing had happened.

　There's a recommendation on the 31st, so I'll add more chapters on that day. I owe one chapter for 6000 monthly votes, which I'll make up for at the end of the month.
