Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 323 The Lynx's Tragic Death (Part 2)

Ye Guang and his group did not travel very fast, taking 12 days to enter the Land of Rain, and they maintained their full strength.

The rain poured down, soaking everyone's waterproof cloaks.

What followed was the tedious search and intelligence gathering.

The search, which lasted for more than ten days, yielded nothing.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "With White Zetsu by Madara Uchiha's side, how could you possibly find him if I don't take action?"

An atmosphere of anxiety spread through the group, and even the icy rain could not quell the restlessness.

Uchiha Zhong observed that the fox remained calm and composed every day, seemingly without any anxiety.

Noticing Uchiha Bell's gaze, Night Light said:

"Clan Chief Zhong, Madara Uchiha's strength far exceeds the village's imagination. Whether it's intelligence capabilities or combat power, he is not someone we can easily deal with."

No problems are the best situation, aren't they?

Uchiha Zhong secretly admired the fox; this squad leader had such a good mentality.

“We’ve been away from the village for over twenty days, and the mission hasn’t made any progress. But Captain Fox, you’re right, we can’t rush things.”

Ye Guang thought to himself, "It's been more than twenty days. The next full moon night is almost here."

Next month, there's a perfect candidate for farming system rewards: the lynx.

The lynx robbed its own deputy head of the secret service.

After racking up rewards on him, kill him to eliminate any future trouble.

The lynx was only an elite Jonin; at most, it could contribute 0.2 times the chakra of a Kage.

As Nightlight's strength grew, the benefits of being an elite Jonin were limited, and he began to accumulate experience gradually.

0.2 is not too little.

Killing the lynx was purely out of personal vengeance, without a single other ulterior motive. So what if I have less chakra?

Before the original storyline begins, it would definitely take more than ten years to accumulate enough chakra to reach the level of a Kage.
-
Another full moon night has arrived.

Looking up in the moonlight, I saw streaks of rain.

The rain lines are incredibly beautiful; looking up, you can see a single-point perspective view, with all the rain lines converging into one point high in the sky.

High above, thick, dark clouds hung in the sky.

Before Yeguang left Konoha, Yuga had already entered the Land of Grass.

A few days ago, Youjia had already discovered the lynx's whereabouts. She was following the lynx from a distance with an owl, waiting for the night to pass.

It's almost time.

Ye Guang summoned Uchiha Zhong and Hyuga Yue, saying, "Clan Chief Zhong, Captain Hyuga Yue, I think we should change our tactics."

Uchiha Zhong nodded repeatedly. The feeling of having searched for so many days without finding anything was terrible.

They could be discovered by Amegakure at any moment, and if Hanzo thought they were invading, they would be in trouble.

He can't beat Madara Uchiha, but he can't beat Hanzo either.

Ye Guang said, "I think we can split up and scout. If we keep so many people gathered together and advance slowly, when will we ever finish investigating the Land of Rain?"

It would be better to disperse the reconnaissance and have each small team act separately to increase search efficiency.

We cannot be so cautious out of fear of death. For the sake of Konoha, we must summon even greater courage!

Hearing the fox's righteous words, Uchiha Zhong had no choice but to nod after some thought.

Yes, regardless of whether it's for Konoha or not, we must continue the investigation, even if it means taking risks.

If they achieve nothing, the village will suspect that the Uchiha clan is just going through the motions in fulfilling their mission, or even that they have secretly contacted and defected to Madara Uchiha.

The village leadership's capacity for skepticism is beyond question.

The group quickly dispersed.

Nightlight said to the two teams, "Aries, Deer, and me, we'll split up in three directions."

Be extremely careful; avoid entering any villages or towns near Amegakure if possible.

Where is Madara Uchiha? Of course, he's next to the Rinnegan.

Madara Uchiha wouldn't bother with Konoha's ninjas as long as he didn't enter towns or target Nagato and his group.

Once it was far enough away from the others, Nightlight disappeared underground.

Even Hyuga Echizen's Byakugan couldn't detect Night Light's Mayfly Technique.

The mayfly traveled to a very far place, where the luminescence revealed white porcelain and white glaze.

Bai You saw that it was a fox, formed a hand seal to release the spirit communication, and let Xuanwo Youjia communicate with him.

After Bai You arrived beside You Jia, she again used her spiritual powers to summon a fox.

The wind on the grassland is cold.

Ye Guang took off his waterproof hood, and a small hurricane appeared in his hand, drying the water off his hooded robe.

Yu Jia pointed into the distance: "Fox, there's my ninja beast owl 5 kilometers away in that direction."

Lynx, the vice-commander of the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu, led his team to the Evergreen Mountain in the Land of Grass, the place where we rescued Uzumaki Kanon.

My owl stayed with them the whole time and didn't lose them.

Ye Guang tightened the fingerless gloves on her hands one by one.

The ten seals beneath the gloves contain the chakra reserves of five Kage-level ninjutsu.

This chakra is reserved for the lynx.

Ye Guang said, "Lynx is the vice-captain of the Anbu and also the strongest ninja of the Shimura clan besides Danzo."

Killing the lynx would be a heavy blow to Danzo.

Yu Jia, I estimate that I cannot kill Danzo right now. Even if I could, I wouldn't do it, because that would be too easy on Danzo.

We must not only kill Danzo, but also erase everything he left behind in Konoha. It's not just physical death, but a complete and utter annihilation.

Danzo used killing to solve problems, and I used his methods to prove to him that his path was wrong.

He will realize his mistakes through repeated heavy losses.

Alright, Yujia, you go back to the Land of Rain now. I'll take care of things here.

Beneath the Evergreen Divine Mountain lies the abandoned secret laboratory of the Daimyo of the Grass Country.

During the two Shinobi World Wars, Konoha and Iwagakure fought in the Land of Grass, a buffer state, and the Daimyo of the Land of Grass collected many shinobi corpses.

After the laboratory was exposed, the magistrate hurriedly evacuated all personnel.

The laboratory entrance was a small, low hole, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Outside the low cave, lynx, Sarutobi Hisaku, Sarutobi Hiyu, and others prepared to begin their investigation.

The lynx glanced at Hiyuu Sarutobi.

According to the Shimura clan's investigation, Sarutobi Kanosuke is very likely, or even the illegitimate son of Sarutobi Hiyuu, Sarutobi Hō.

This time, the Sarutobi clan must pay the price. The Shimura clan has suffered heavy losses, and the Sarutobi clan can no longer remain perfectly hidden.

The lynx said to the oil-dwelling ninja in the reconnaissance squad, "Send some insects in to scout the lab."

A swarm of insects emerged from the palm of the oil-dwelling ninja's hand and flew into the cave.

An hour later, the oil-woman ninja said, "Lynx-sama, there is no sign of life in the cave."

“Alright,” the lynx said. “Send someone in to investigate the details.”

Despite the lynx's words, his lynx squad remained motionless.

Sarutobi Hikaru and Sarutobi Hiyu exchanged a glance, and finally Sarutobi Hiyu stepped forward.

It seems the Sarutobi clan must shoulder this responsibility.

Who made Sarutobi Kanosuke the illegitimate son of Sarutobi Hiyuu?
A reconnaissance team, a Sarutobi clan team, and two ANBU teams entered the cave.

Sarutobi Seido wanted to stay outside, but Sarutobi Hippu made him go inside, so he had no choice but to obey.

The last time I met Sarutobi Kanosuke, Sarutobi Kanosuke said he would spare my life because of my Sarutobi surname. But the second time I see him, I will definitely kill him.

There was no light at all in the low cave.

After climbing through a 50-meter-long low tunnel, we finally entered the underground arched stone cave.

The cave can accommodate three people walking side by side.

Upon entering the depths of the cave, the first thing you see is a series of prison cells.

Some of the corpses in the prison cells had turned into skeletons, while others were slowly rotting.

As a guardian ninja, Sarutobi Shizudo explained to the others:

"The daimyo of the Land of Grass accidentally captured a Uzumaki ninja and sent him here for testing."

Later, someone attacked the laboratory and rescued the Uzumaki ninja.

I suspect this Uzumaki ninja was rescued by Madara Uchiha's forces. Madara once fought a fierce battle with Jiraiya over a child from the Uzumaki clan.

No one refuted Sarutobi Shizudo's assessment, and the group continued deeper into the experimental area. Inside, the corpses of some ninjas hung.

It is no longer possible to distinguish whether these corpses belong to ninjas from ninja villages or wandering ninjas.

The group split up to investigate, searching for traces of the Uzumaki ninja, hoping to find clues about Sarutobi Kanosuke.

Sarutobi Shizudo was carefully looking around.

suddenly!

One of the corpses suddenly moved.

Sarutobi Shizudo instinctively jumped back a large step.

A kunai pierced through Sarutobi Seido's lower back from behind.

Sarutobi Seido turned his head slightly and saw a white swirling mask behind him.

"I told you, I can spare you this time, but I'll kill you if I see you again. Why won't you believe me?"

Panic-filled shouts erupted from the surroundings: "Oh no! Sarutobi Shizudo has been killed!"

Swarms of insects and ninjutsu charged towards Sarutobi Shizudo.

Hiyuu Sarutobi broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Kasuke Sarutobi.

Sarutobi Kanosuke is wearing a swirling mask, and judging by his figure... could it be his illegitimate son, Sarutobi Hō?
Even now, when Sarutobi was in Konoha, Hiyuu Sarutobi rarely saw him.

Sarutobi-Peng's birth was an accident.

Sarutobi Kanosuke's figure quickly disappeared.

The others looked at the Hyuga ninja, who activated his Byakugan and was covered in cold sweat.

The Hyuga ninja said, "After Sarutobi Kanosuke entered the ground, he vanished instantly! It was as if... as if his body was originally composed of soil and roots!"

A sense of panic spread through the underground laboratory.

They came to investigate Sarutobi Kanosuke, but who would have thought that Sarutobi Kanosuke was actually here.

Sarutobi Kanosuke can appear silently from anywhere, and neither the Aburame ninja nor the Hyuga ninja can detect him.

"Quickly inform Lord Lynx and Elder Sunshine! Sarutobi Kanosuke is hiding in a cave!"

One of the Sarutobi ninjas broke away from the main group and ran out of the cave.

He was lucky; Sarutobi Kanosuke didn't lay a hand on him the entire way.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, the communications ninja, his face filled with fear, said:

"Lynx-sama, Elder Sun Soul, Sarutobi Kanosuke has appeared in the cave! He killed Sarutobi Seido!"
When Sarutobi Kanosuke attacked and killed the Daimyo's guardian ninja last time, he threatened Shizudo that each Sarutobi ninja could only escape death once in front of Sarutobi Kanosuke.

This was Sarutobi Kanosuke's second time seeing Shizudo, so he killed him!

Sarutobi Hibiki was taken aback. Why would Sarutobi Kanosuke really attack his own kind?

The lynx glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Hiruzen Jonin, shouldn't you go in and take a look?"

Sarutobi Hisaburo had no choice but to nod and enter the cave.

Outside the cave, only the lynx and two secret service squads remained.

A squad leader asked, "Lyngle, what do we need to prepare?"

The lynx said, "No need to prepare anything. Sarutobi Hibiki is very powerful and is the strongest ninja in the Sarutobi clan besides the Hokage."

What we need to do is wait for Sarutobi Hikaru and Sarutobi Kanosuke to settle their score.

On the mountainside, the moonlight peeked out.

Seeing the lynx below the mountain, Ye Guang thought to himself that his guess was indeed correct.

The lynx is now a big shot, and it won't take risks easily; it will definitely stay outside the cave.

Sarutobi Kanosuke appeared like a ghost, his voice echoing beneath Mount Kami.

"Lynx, you've learned all of Danzo's bad habits quite well."

"Letting others do the work while you observe or reap the rewards from behind, what kind of terrible habit is that..."

The lynx looked up and saw Sarutobi Kanosuke wearing a white swirling mask, and its heart tightened.

The moonlight rushed down from the mountain, ready to deliver intelligence.

Soon, Yagami discovered that the lynx, like the other Shimura clan ninjas, was skilled in Wind Release.

After several exchanges, the lynx's Wind Release: Vacuum Ball made Ye Guang nod repeatedly in approval.

Not only is it fast, but it is also abundant.

He stood there, looking like a long-range artillery platform.

Unable to obtain further information, Ye Guang feigned defeat and was struck between the eyebrows by a Vacuum Jade.

"Lynx...I will definitely come back..."

After hearing Sarutobi Kanosuke's curse, the lynx watched in horror as he died.

"Hahaha! Sarutobi Kanosuke is nothing special!"

[Host death detected. The Moonlit Arc System is activating...]
-
The night light returned to what it had been several hours earlier.

[Moon-Moon Arc is activated!]
The host has only one chance to revive each month, and will be resurrected on the night of the previous full moon after death.

[One chance to win a prize...]

Instead of choosing Wind Release ninjutsu, Night Light chose Chakra Level.

Elite Jonin-level chakra level is equivalent to 0.2 times the chakra level of a Kage.

The amount of chakra in Night Light reached 2.0 times the level of a Kage.

The plot is the same as in the previous life: after Yako kills Sarutobi Seido, Sarutobi Hisaku enters the cave.

Only lynxes and two secret service squads remained outside the cave.

Ye Guang used the mayfly technique to secretly appear behind the lynx and the others.

The lynx remained oblivious, still watching the low hole on the hillside with the ANBU ninja.

After forming a hand seal, four shadow clones appeared beside Ye Guang.

Nightlight and its four shadow clones each formed different hand seals.

Five different impact-type ninjutsu with different attributes were unleashed after a single seal.

Earth Release: Flying Gravel, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, Lightning Release: Thunderclap!
The lynx then noticed the massive ninjutsu behind it.

Why do enemies appear in the blind spots of every ANBU ninja?

How could someone pinpoint such a precise location at first glance? What kind of combat talent is that?

One more time, and the glow found the perfect angle.

The lynx turned its head in horror and saw the five elemental ninjutsu, each of which was larger than that of an elite Jonin!

Kage-level! Definitely Kage-level!

In the hands of a Kage-level ninja, even ordinary B-rank ninjutsu can have an exaggerated attack range.

He had only seen the Third Hokage display such a level of ninjutsu a few years ago!

Five Kage-level ninjutsu techniques instantly engulfed the lynx and two ANBU squads.

The five elemental chakras clashed with each other, evolving into a terrifying explosion.

The explosion was hundreds of meters in size, comparable to a small Tailed Beast Ball.

The esteemed Deputy Minister of the Lynx died in the horrific mass explosion.

No bones remain.

Sir! Aren't you an adult?
Lord Lynx, you haven't even left with ashes, have you?
I'm a little sorry, I couldn't help myself and accidentally used so much chakra.

The last time Ye Guang used the Five Elements Great Combo, he was still an elite Jonin. This time, he has undergone a complete transformation, and he now possesses the strength of a Kage-level ninja.

A mini-Sarutobi Kanosuke is at least a Kage-level goalkeeper.

The powerful shockwave from the explosion terrified the people in the underground laboratory.

After resolving the basement collapse, Hippo Sarutobi struggled to break through the clods of earth and led everyone out of the soil.

They saw Sarutobi Kanosuke slowly sinking into the ground.

It seems that Sarutobi Kanosuke had been waiting for them there, and only left the scene after seeing them.

“I told Sarutobi Seido last time that I would spare the lives of all members of the Sarutobi clan.”

Hiyuu Sarutobi, don't appear before me a second time like Seido Sarutobi did.

You are not special; you only have one life.

Everyone looked at Hiyu Sarutobi.

It's not unusual, but after killing the deputy head of the Dark Division, he deliberately stayed behind to make threatening remarks. That seems unusual, doesn't it?
Is this a bastard child's revenge against his biological father?

Sarutobi Hiyoshi was in a terrible state of mind; mud had fallen onto his crotch, and now he could no longer explain himself.
