Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 320 Obedience Test

Hearing that the fox was being nice, the lynx felt quite pleased.

After seeing that the other squad leaders had no objections, the lynx said, "Lynx, come with me, we're going to the Land of Grass."

Ye Guang and the other two squad leaders left the lynx's office.

Black Ant is a special case; he basically only follows the Hokage's orders, but he was called back to listen to the Lynx Vice-Minister's reprimand.

The task on the head of the golden eagle is the most demanding, and it won't be easy to manage even with a new leader.

The golden eagle caught up with the black ant and whispered, "The lynx has quite the airs."

Black Ant said, "The lynx was someone Danzo pushed to the forefront, and it represents Danzo. It's normal for it to have a bit of an air about it."

"Black Ant, I wonder if Fox can get his position right. He's no longer the number one person after Minister Yellow Dog."

Black Ant nodded and said, "Don't cause any trouble because of some pointless jealousy. If you go through the motions of doing something like paying lip service while doing nothing, then the fox is being petty and lacking in common sense."

"Judging from the question and answer just now, the fox seems to have bowed its head and resigned itself to its fate."

In the dark corridor, Nightlight calculated the time. The hunting party of rogue ninjas led by Sarutobi Hippo and Lynx would likely catch up with the Daimyo of the Land of Grass in about 15 days and begin their investigation and pursuit.

I need to plan my time well and find an opportunity to visit the Grass Country after entering the Rain Country.

Ye Guang returned to his squad.

Aries and deer were waiting in his office.

Aries said, "Captain! We've decided to fight alongside you on this mission to investigate Uchiha Madara in the Land of Rain!"
Madara Uchiha is stronger than Sarutobi Kanosuke. If we can complete the mission perfectly, we'll definitely be able to defeat the lynx!

Hua Lu chimed in, "Captain, we're not afraid to die! Please devise a strategy, and we'll definitely kill Uchiha Madara!"

Ye Guang smiled and said, "Uchiha Madara is certainly stronger than Sarutobi Kanosuke, so we can't be reckless or hasty. We're going to investigate, not to risk our lives."

Besides, even if I kill Madara Uchiha, does that mean I'll be the vice-captain?

He looked at the white sheep and the spotted deer, feeling very gratified.

Although he failed to be promoted to vice minister, his most loyal subordinates, Aries and Deer, did not harbor any other thoughts.

The yaks and hippos are different; perhaps they both went to the yellow dog to find out what it was thinking.

Yellow Dog is now a true high-ranking member, mainly staying in the Hokage Building.

From this moment forward, the yellow dog will officially appear before the Konoha ninja.

Ninjas who go to the Hokage Building will see a ninja wearing a yellow dog mask; that is the new head of the Anbu.

Ordinary ninjas may not know about Yellow Dog's background, but the fact that he can appear in the Hokage Building as the head of the Anbu must mean he is the most powerful person in the Anbu.

Perhaps, with the right opportunity, just like Danzo's advisor before, the head of the Dark Bureau could remove his mask and become another high-ranking advisor.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Orochimaru felt somewhat uncomfortable when he saw the yellow dog standing next to the Third Hokage.

That spot used to belong to me.

Ah.

It doesn't matter anymore. As long as he gets the Book of Seals, he won't need to pretend in front of these high-ranking officials.

The chaos and disorder in Konoha Village have nothing to do with me.

Having learned the Book of Sealing, he completely concealed himself and devoted himself to studying the secret and forbidden techniques within it.

Orochimaru asked for some of the Second Hokage's notes on body anatomy and modification, and then left the Hokage's office.

After Orochimaru left, the yellow dog said:
"Lord Hokage, I have said several times before that once I become the captain, I will make the fox the vice captain. Now I have broken my promise, and I want to give him some compensation."

"Compensation?" The third generation shook his head and said:
"No matter what compensation you give the fox, you cannot change the fox's dissatisfaction."

We must give them everything before they can take it. If we don't give it to them, they can only endure it.

This is not the time to compensate the fox, but rather to test it.

If the fox can understand this principle and recognize its own place, then we will continue to raise the fox.

If the fox doesn't understand this principle, then give it more tasks and make full use of it.

This is a test for him, a test of his obedience.

Yellow Dog, remember this: never easily trust anyone. Limited trust, unlimited work, until your subordinates accept their fate and submit completely.

When I was young, I thought that Danzo, Yan, Koharu, and others would always trust and rely on each other.

But now, everyone has their own ideas.

You need to understand, everyone changes. Just because someone is willing to die for you now doesn't mean they'll want to kill you three years later.

The yellow dog nodded, abandoning its idea of ​​compensating the fox.

Hopefully, the fox can recognize and accept reality, and only after this transformation can it become a better subordinate.

In the words of the Hokage, this is a test, a special test of obedience.

The two were discussing how to manage their subordinates when Danzo pushed open the door and entered.

The yellow dog immediately shut its mouth and stopped talking.

Was the father also conducting some kind of obedience test on Danzo?

By dismissing him as the head of the Anbu and replacing him with a lynx as the deputy head, Danzo was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Danzo, is there something you need?"

"Give me the list of Uchiha clan members tasked with going to the Land of Rain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly produced a list and handed it to Danzo: "Including Uchiha Zhong, there are 4 Jonin and 8 Special Jonin."

As you know, we have very strict rules; even the special Jonin of the Uchiha clan possess Jonin-level strength.

Every time Uchiha Zhong recommends a Jonin, he gets rejected nine times out of ten.

A certain three-tomoe Uchiha was so powerful that he achieved exaggerated victories and made a name for himself in the war, which is why the village reluctantly granted him the title of Jonin.

Seeing Danzo looking at the list, the Third Hokage asked, "Danzo, are you trying to use this opportunity to weaken the Uchiha clan?"

Danzo snorted and said, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, this is not my business. The head of the Anbu is right next to you, why are you asking me?"

Danzo finished reading the scroll and turned to leave.

After the door closed, the yellow dog said, "Lord Hokage, this is...?"

"He's angry, that's alright, he'll find someone to vent it on, that's what I like most about Danzo. However..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said:

"Shifting the blame eastward, it would be good if the elite of the Uchiha clan could die at the hands of Uchiha Madara."

This is a golden opportunity, and the Uchiha clan can't say anything yet.

However, there is also a concern that some Uchiha ninjas with three tomoe might defect to Madara Uchiha.

Very tricky...
If Danzo were willing to lend a hand, he would arrange everything perfectly.

The third generation looked at the yellow dog and said:
"If I remain in power, I can suppress the Uchiha clan."

If I die and the village falls into your hands or those of other young people, I'm afraid you won't be able to control the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan has terrifying potential. For so many years, I've kept the Uchiha clan quietly huddled in the security department.

Once released, they will use the Sharingan's terrifying bloodline limit to prove the prestige of the second-best ninja clan in the Warring States period.

Death will make the Uchiha clan stronger.

Yellow Dog quickly said, "Lord Hokage, let me do it. I'll take this opportunity to weaken the Uchiha clan, just like Danzo did before."

"If only the fox were the vice-minister, I could just bring this up and the fox could handle the Uchiha clan perfectly."

The Third Hokage said, "The head of the Anbu is not only a high-ranking position, but also represents responsibility. You have seen many Root mission scrolls, so try to learn Danzo's methods."

In a forest on the edge of Konoha Village.

A figure crouched on the ground, his eyes slightly narrowed.

In his eyes, the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated.

Uchiha Mizukiku, son of Uchiha Kagami, awaits.

In a split second, a figure appeared on the opposite tree trunk.

Uchiha Mizukiku looked up: "Uncle Danzo, you've arrived."
