Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 336 The Taste of Power

All the ANBU members looked at the stage, waiting for the Third Hokage to announce the new leader of the ANBU.

The Third Hokage said:

"During the mission to hunt down rogue ninja in the Land of Grass, the Lynx Vice-Captain, the Mountain Cat Squad Leader, and others sacrificed themselves for Konoha."

An ANBU ninja with a burning will of fire in their hearts burned their lives for Konoha.

The Anbu is one of Konoha's most important organizations, protecting the village from the shadows.

The mission of the secret service cannot be stopped.

I hereby announce that Fox is appointed as the Deputy Chief of the Dark Division!

Ye Guang, who was standing to one side, gestured to the crowd and then sat down in a chair.

Finally, the luminous substance was served.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Anbu, under Danzo's command, suffered repeated heavy losses, or rather, were repeatedly wiped out.

Ye Guang was urgently recruited into the Anbu as a cannon fodder Chunin.

At that time, Danzo controlled the Anbu, and Anbu ninjas were even more useful intelligence gathering resources than shadow clones.

The story of Ye Guang's rise to power is essentially a story of Danzo's defeats.

He supported the promotion of Yellow Dog to vice-minister of the Dark Division, thus seizing some of Danzo's power.

They took away the spy systems of two major powers and seized a portion of Danzo's power.

He supported the promotion of the Yellow Dog to head of the Dark Division, thus seizing some of Danzo's power.

By killing Lynx, the vice-minister appointed by Danzo, Danzo's influence in the Dark Side was reduced to almost nothing.

Of course, the reason why the journey was so smooth was also because Hiruzen Sarutobi and his son, Inu, had the same idea.

For Konoha to rise to prominence, one either needs to be like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is the young head of a large clan, or like Homura Mitokado, who is extremely lucky to have the Second Hokage's favorable policy of cultivating commoner ninjas, or like Orochimaru, who has a top-tier lineage similar to that of a sacred land, or like Minato Namikaze, who has dazzling talent.

Even though Ye Guang was addressed as "Master," his journey had been incredibly difficult, despite having all the advantages he had.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the commoner ninjas of Konoha are barely surviving, living like ants.

Looking at the dozens of ANBU ninjas below the stage, Ye Guang felt sorry for them.

However, Ye Guang is not a good person and cannot be a saint.

Let Sakumo Hatake do the good deed.

The only thing Ye Guang could do was occasionally help Hatake Sakumo in the dark.

The only person who can make Konoha fairer is Sakumo Hatake.

What makes him more mature than Minato Namikaze is that Sakushige Hatake has a firm and clear set of principles for doing things.

While Minato Namikaze in the original work was powerful, his policies did not break away from the Will of Fire theory, which was based on sacrifice and was established by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Below the stage, the two squad leaders, Black Ant and Golden Eagle, exchanged a glance.

Fox was promoted, Lynx was killed in battle, and only the two squad leaders remained in the Dark Division.

It's not surprising that the deputy head of the secret service was replaced within a month.

The lynx was not much stronger than the other squad leaders, and it was far inferior to the fox.

Lynxes are unable to cope with certain complex situations or deal with certain powerful enemies.

Making the fox a deputy minister now makes much more sense.

Fox's strength has been proven; he has consistently been the top expert in the Dark Division.

Black Ant and Golden Eagle decided to pay a proper visit to the Fox's office after the meeting.

If we encounter a powerful enemy in the future, the chances of survival will greatly increase if Lord Fox lends a helping hand.

The prestige of a ninja's strongest comes from their power. If I save you, you live; if I harbor even a trace of malice, and delay my move by half a second, you will die.

The meeting continues.

The third generation appointed two more squad leaders, Hippo and Aries.

Aries' eyes gleamed with excitement; he had actually been promoted to squad leader.

Following Lord Fox, he not only obtained the trump card of the Ten Seals, but also survived his serious injuries with the help of the Lord's medical secrets, learned the secret technique of insect clones, and was promoted to captain of the Dark Division.

Apart from the clan leader, no one in the Aburame clan has more influence than him.

The higher-ups have always regarded the Aburame clan as functional ninjas and rarely entrusted them with important tasks.

Following Lord Fox, he became a very important squad leader in the Dark Division.

Lord Fox's defensive secret technique is invincible, which means Lord Fox is very difficult to kill.

As long as I don't die, my future with Lord Fox is limitless.

Like a poor lynx following a lynx, the pair were happy for less than a month before dying in the Land of Grass.

The Dark Division Conference has concluded.

Ye Guang moved to the deputy minister's office, leaving the original office to Bai Yang.

He signed a document.

"Alright, Purple Cat, you can go on maternity leave now. Let White Crane temporarily be my assistant."

"Yes, Lord Fox!"

Purple Cat was very excited. The fox squad leader she had followed back then had been promoted to deputy head of the Dark Division in just three years. How fast!

The white crane standing to the side seemed a little guilty.

She hasn't told her sister yet that she's already with Lord Fox...

Sigh, let's wait until my sister gives birth before we talk about it.

The four of them living a good life is better than anything else.

Ninjas have a different moral compass than ordinary people; some things are not as important to them.

After the purple cat left, the white crane went out for a while and returned to leave many scrolls for Ye Guang.

"Hmm?" Ye Guang said, "Do I already have so many scrolls to deal with just becoming the deputy minister?"

Baihe said, "I got these scrolls from Butterfly, the minister's assistant. There are quite a few scrolls here that represent the transfer of authority."

The moonlight revealed that the lynx was dead, and much of the lynx's power had come to him. He then unrolled the scrolls one by one.

Part One: The Control Scroll for the Dark Base Barrier.

Yellow Dog spends most of his time in the basement of the Hokage Building, ready to receive the Hokage's orders at any time. At the Anbu base, the vice-captain manages the daily affairs.

After Tsunade stormed Root last time, both Root and Anbu were protected by barriers.

There's a barrier squad in the equipment department that's in charge of creating barriers for the Dark Guard.

Part Two: The Dark Side's Quest Scroll Library.

Nightlight has the authority to view and manage all tasks previously completed by Dark Area.

I need to set aside time to specifically organize Konoha's past and gather all the information about the Anbu's past.

Part Three: The Anbu's Ninjutsu Scroll Library.

Aside from S-rank forbidden techniques, the vice-commander of the Anbu can reward his subordinates with all of Konoha's ninjutsu, depending on the circumstances.

These three powers alone make the luminescence much more significant.

The remaining tasks were rather trivial.

The daily management of the Equipment Department, Finance Department, and other departments also falls under Ye Guang's purview.

In short, major tasks are assigned to the minister, while daily management is handled by the deputy minister.

Ye Guang looked around and frowned.

No spy system?

Previously, the assistant gibbon was in charge of the spy systems of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Wind, while the lynx was in charge of the spy systems of the Land of Earth and the Land of Water.

It seems that after the lynx died, the spy systems of the four major countries all fell under the control of the yellow dog's assistant, the gibbon.

Gibbons are very mysterious; I've only seen bioluminescence once, with a yellow dog.

Gibbons, when are you going to leave the village?

Can you figure out such a complex spy system?
After signing the scroll, Ye Guang entered the mission scroll room in the dark.

He found a scroll that was related to him.

As expected, Qiaoyi and Tsurugi Izakaya were on surveillance cameras; several teams had previously monitored Qiaoyi.

The shadowy figures were monitoring Qiaoyi, and also the nightlight during their free time.

Of course, this is not specifically targeting Nightlight. Any squad leader or platoon leader in the Dark Division who leaves the Dark Division during their free time will be subject to random checks.

High-risk areas are monitored continuously. Low-risk areas are monitored for a period of time, like nightlights, and then the monitoring is removed.

When Ye Guang returned to the office, he saw four squad leaders waiting for him in the corridor.

The luminous creature first encountered the most senior black ant.

The two didn't exchange anything special; Black Ant was the Third Hokage's confidant.

Black Ant talked about the defense of the Hokage Building, saying that sometimes, a strong person like Fox is needed to handle some tricky problems.

In particular, the fox is skilled in sealing techniques, which is very important for the defense of the Hokage Building.

Ye Guang readily agreed to this request.

The closer you are to the Hokage Building, the closer you are to the core of Konoha's power, the more benefits you will receive.

If I could master the sealing barrier of the Hokage Building, that would be even better. Ye Guang wouldn't mind working overtime for the Hokage Building.

The second thing I saw in the night was a golden eagle.

The golden eagle seemed to have been prepared, saying, "Lord Fox, I am in charge of internal surveillance of the Anbu. I have previously taken on some investigation missions, including the whereabouts of Anbu ninjas during their free time."

I assure you that the Golden Eagle Squad will not conduct any further investigations against you.

The previous investigation was standard procedure for the secret service; I was forced into it.

Ye Guang said, "I understand. You can continue to monitor the members of the Dark Division during their free time. You don't need to investigate me."

"I can't possibly betray Konoha, betray the Hokage, that would be too outrageous, don't you think?"

The golden eagle nodded repeatedly.

The fox-lord, who has mastered Wood Release, is one of Konoha's most prominent figures. How could he possibly betray Konoha?
The golden eagle then reported on the defense work of Konoha Village before leaving.

Hippo was the third to enter the office.

They were old acquaintances, and Ye Guang urged Hippo to get his squad into combat capability as soon as possible.

The lynx lost two squads in the Grass Country, greatly weakening its strength.

From now on, the Hippo team will be the Yellow Dog's direct subordinate team.

The Anbu is the Hokage's direct subordinate unit, with complex internal factions. As the vice-commander, Yagami is not yet able to fully control it.

Watching the hippo's departing figure, Ye Guang's eyes flickered slightly.

The more squads you control, the deeper your control over the shadowy areas.

Which one should we choose: black ant, golden eagle, or hippopotamus?
Hippopotamus, it's such a tough choice, don't you think?

Aries was the last to enter the office.

Aries, being the direct descendants of the Night Glow, are most excited at this moment.

Ye Guang asked Aries to recommend Antelope, Leaf Monkey, and Black Gorilla to become Jonin, and he would be responsible for the follow-up.

"Sir, I've been promoted to squad leader, and I'd like Tianya to be my assistant."

Hippo and Yak each took a trusted lieutenant with them, leaving our frontline squads short-handed. Should we replenish our manpower as soon as possible?

Ye Guang said, "I will go and urge the roots."

The crackdown on the root of the problem was a bit too harsh, backfiring on them. It's too much trouble to cultivate new talent among those few people at the root.

It took several more hours for Ye Guang to sort out the affairs of the deputy minister of the Dark Division.

Power is a man's best blue pill, and Ye Guang felt he had inexhaustible strength.

The taste of power is really good.

After finishing his chores, Ye Guang left the Dark Division.

He used the Mayfly Technique to reach the top floor of Konoha Hospital, deliberately releasing his aura.

Tsunade left the office and went into the restroom on the side.

In the bathroom's anteroom, water was flowing from the faucet.

Tsunade said, "I knew you would come looking for me. Fox, is there anything you want to say to me?"
