Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 351 I don't want to see him in the village

After the Jonin team meeting ended, the group of high-ranking members entered the Hokage's office.

Danzo entered the office and saw that Mitomon Homura had taken out several scrolls of official documents.

Mitokado Homura said, "The Konoha Village's guardian ninja are not strong enough, and these negative influences are spreading to the Land of Fire's vassal states."

Not only the daimyo of the Land of Grass, but also the daimyo of the Land of Rivers, the Land of Hot Springs, and the Land of Whirlpools wrote letters to Kyoto and Konoha in the Land of Fire, expressing their concern about what was happening in the Land of Grass.

My son, Mitokado, is the captain of the Daimyo's Guardian Ninja in the Land of Rivers. The Daimyo of the Land of Rivers requires him to have at least six Guardian Ninja by his side.

Working in two shifts was too exhausting for the Guardian Shinobi, but they couldn't refuse the Daimyo's request.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The mission share is very important to the village."

The Land of Fire missions account for 60% of Konoha's missions, while the four smaller countries combined account for 40%.

Yan, why don't you lead the team on a tour of the capitals of the various vassal states?

Starting with the Land of Whirlpools, then the Land of Whirlpools, the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Rivers, we will meet with the daimyo in turn, giving them confidence.

Konoha remains the strongest ninja in the world.

In the past year or two, the ninja guarded by the daimyo of the Land of Grass have been frequently killed, mainly because the rogue ninja Uchiha Madara has become active again.

He advised the various daimyo that Madara Uchiha was already over 70 years old and was currently experiencing a final burst of energy before death; considering the average lifespan of a ninja, he wouldn't live much longer.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "Madara Uchiha harbors a deep-seated hatred for Konoha, and he will not let this go."

The surveillance of Madara Uchiha cannot be stopped, lest he summon the Nine-Tails at the entrance of Konoha and launch a surprise attack on the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't mention the possibility of killing Madara Uchiha, only that he wanted to monitor him.

Subconsciously, Hiruzen Sarutobi feared the village's top expert whom he had looked up to decades ago.

Sarutobi Sasuke, a powerful figure from the Warring States period, admitted to Hiruzen Sarutobi that he could only last five minutes against Madara Uchiha.

If no reinforcements arrive within five minutes, he will die.

Back then, Madara Uchiha summoned the Nine-Tails at the village gate, and the Nine-Tails smashed the Konoha gate with a single blow, announcing his return.

Without the First Hokage, the newly founded Konoha Village would have been razed to the ground by the Nine-Tails.

Madara Uchiha, standing atop the Nine-Tails, terrified Hiruzen Sarutobi, a height he could never reach in his entire life.

Mitokado Homura said, "I'll set off now and go to the Land of Whirlpools first to secure the rear."

I hope Sakumo Hatake can succeed in the Land of Grass; that would make my lobbying more persuasive.

The Third Hokage nodded and said, "Sakumo Hatake is studying the intelligence. He used to be excluded from the intelligence system, and it takes him two or three days to analyze and digest the intelligence."

Once Sakumo Hatake has gathered information on Madara Uchiha's rogue ninja organization, he will immediately lead his men out.

After Danzo and the other two finished discussing how to appease the daimyo of various countries, they said:
"We must keep track of Madara Uchiha's movements. Madara Uchiha has gone mad and is attacking Konoha. We must be on guard against this."

Give the fox a mission: to enter the Land of Rain and investigate the movements of Madara Uchiha and his subordinates.

He was told that if he encountered a lone thug, he must not kill him, but immediately notify him so he could deal with him.

They claimed they were going to deal with Afei, but their real purpose was to reclaim the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado exchanged a glance, realizing that Danzo was still angry.

During the battle, the fox disobeyed Danzo's orders and insisted on killing Uchiha Nobi.

Later, he chased after Uchiha Kirito but failed to bring back the Mangekyou Sharingan.

When Danzo mentioned the fox, his disgust was written all over his face, and he wanted to drive the fox out of the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The fox is indeed the most suitable candidate. Let him go to the Land of Rain to monitor Madara Uchiha's movements."

Having achieved his goal, Danzo got up and left.

Nightlight is outside Konoha Hospital, carrying out a mission to monitor Tsunade and the Senju clan.

In reality, he was staring at a ward in the maternity ward.

Ryuu Shiratsuyama has also taken leave because her older sister, Ritsu Yamanaka, is giving birth today.

In the hospital room, Ryu Yamanaka carefully held a soft baby in her arms and chatted with her older sister, Ritsu Yamanaka, who was lying on the hospital bed.

It was a girl named Nightingale of the Mountains.

The daughter of the Nightingale in the Mountains inherited the Thousand Hands Bloodline, so there's no need to worry about the bloodline being exposed.

The Senju bloodline is mainly characterized by a strong physique and a larger amount of chakra than ordinary people, without any other obvious characteristics.

The two sisters were extremely excited.

A new life has been added to their home.

The moonlight, shining through the tree canopy outside the ward, seemed to ponder the safety of those around him.

To prevent Danzo from obtaining the Kaleidoscope, she angered Danzo several times during this period.

Danzo has no bottom line. Who knows if he will take Yagami's people hostage to blackmail him?
One should always be wary of others, after all, Yagami did indeed kill many of Danzo's clansmen and subordinates.

There's no reason why Danzo can only be killed in the dark, but not allowed to be killed.

Fortunately, I have some influence and the ability to arrange these things.

He planned to have the Aries squad protect Qiaoyi and Yefeng under the guise of monitoring Yeguang himself, and protect the Yamanaka Li sisters under the guise of monitoring them.

He frowned and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

He only had one squad of his trusted men, so manpower was somewhat tight.

Yellow dog, when are you going to move? I'm getting worried sick about you.

If you make a move, whether you become a senior advisor or get killed, I can take over as the head of the Dark Division.

By then, I can manage the remaining three squads, apart from the Black Ant squad, as my trusted confidants, and I will be able to do even more for them.

Just as Ye Guang was getting anxious for Huang Quan, a member of the ANBU (Anti-Sects) found him. "Vice Minister! The Minister is looking for you!"

Upon arriving at Yellow Dog's place, Night Light received a mission: to monitor Madara Uchiha's movements.

Judging from Huang Quan's words, Huang Quan didn't want to leave the village; it was Danzo who orchestrated it, as Danzo didn't want to see him in the village.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Leaving the village is good too. It'll give me more freedom and I can help Hatake Sakumo get through this difficult time."

He had had enough of the village's higher-ups and needed to give them a fresh start.

Since I can't step into the limelight myself, Sakumo Hatake is a good choice. He has high moral standards and won't let Konoha become a mess.

It's time for Sakumo Hatake to make a move. He should ideally occupy a high-ranking position, instead of continuing to be a high-level henchman.

Nightlight led the Leaf Monkey squad and left Konoha.

Only when Aries stayed in the village did Nightlight feel a little more at ease.
-
In a courtyard in Konoha Village.

Xinma fiddled with his short sword, flames dancing on it and illuminating his face.

His sword, like Lord Sakumo's, is a precious chakra sword.

He wanted to carve out his own path with chakra blades, just like Lord Sakumo.

He mastered the Fire Release: Blade Technique. With further refinement of this skill, sooner or later, the village will have no choice but to promote him to Jonin.

His fire knife is a mid-range attack; with a single slash, the arc of flame shot out several meters.

After three hours of intense training, Xinma was already panting heavily.

Just as he sheathed his knife, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Xinma by the throat!
Xinma quickly grabbed the enemy's wrists with both hands, but the difference in strength between him and the enemy was too great, and he couldn't budge them even a little.

Upon seeing the appearance of the newcomer, Xinma's terror reached its peak.

His last shred of resistance vanished, leaving only despair.

The right eye is a "four-white eye" (meaning the whites of the eyes are mostly visible), with a very small pupil and most of the whites of the eye showing bloodshot streaks.

His left eye was wrapped in bandages, and no one knew what secrets were hidden beneath them.

There is an X-shaped scar on his chin.

The force used to choke him was very precise; it didn't kill Xinma, but Xinma was also completely unable to resist.

Danzo took out a scroll with his other hand.

Unfurl the scroll; it contains several lines of text and numerous incantations and runes.

"Seal - Seal to Eradicate the Root of Tongue Disaster!"

After the seal was completed, a curse mark appeared on the tongue of the person in the mouth who was breathing heavily.

Looking down at Shinma lying on the ground, Danzo said:

"Singapore, I am asking you to complete a task in my capacity as the Hokage's advisor."

Xinma covered his throat and insisted, "Cough cough... I... cough... refuse!"

Danzo waved to the door of the house in the backyard.

The door opened, and a Root ninja came out carrying a child.

"Nephew...cough cough...nephew!"

Danzo said, "That's your brother Shinmei's child. If you don't complete my mission, I will..."

"Dan..." Xinma was about to say Danzo's name when he found himself completely paralyzed and almost fell over. For some reason, he couldn't say Danzo's name.

"How could you lay a hand on an orphan! My brother was a ninja who sacrificed himself for Konoha!"

"Of course I wouldn't lay a hand on an orphan," Danzo said.

“If you do not complete the task I have assigned you, I will recruit this child into the Root.”

The ninjas who sacrificed themselves for Konoha were all ninjas with a spirit of dedication, and presumably their children also have the same spirit of dedication.

If you complete the mission, this child will grow up peacefully like other children and enter the ninja academy.

Danzo, not wanting to waste words with Xinma, turned and left.

Before leaving, Danzo said, "Don't even think about revealing the information to anyone. You're sealed, so you can't say a word about what happened tonight."

Shinma then drew his chakra ninja sword and pointed it at Danzo.

Danzo turned around, his gaze filled with contempt, and vanished in an instant.

Shinma was weaker than he had imagined, and dared not strike the Hokage advisor with his sword, watching Danzo disappear in despair.

He turned and ran to his nephew, only to find him unconscious. He carefully checked his nephew and found no injuries.

Sweat poured down his forehead. His nephew might be fine now, but if the higher-ups in Konoha set their sights on him, either he or his nephew would be crushed to pieces.

Singapore and Malaysia look towards the Fire Shadow Rock.

The Third Hokage's enormous head loomed over the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

He and his nephew were too weak in the face of Konoha's terrifying machine.

Then... can we rely on Lord Sakumo?
Lord Sakumo is also struggling...
Sakumo Hatake led a team to the Land of Grass, Homura Mitokado led a team to the Land of Whirlpools, and the deputy head of the Anbu, Fox, led a team to the Land of Rain.

At the same time, three Kage-level combatants were dispatched, and the Jonin who knew the intelligence all felt a chill run down their spines.

Why is the situation in Konoha still so dire even though the war ended so long ago?
-
It's another night of the full moon.

Nightlight led the Leaf Monkey squad through the Land of Rain.

Looking north, Ye Guang wondered how Hatake Sakumo's mission in the Land of Grass was going.
