Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 361 You're really greedy!

The wooden vines twisted and climbed, and a swirling mask, just like Ah Fei's, appeared on Ye Guang's face.

After disguising himself as Ah Fei, Ye Guang's body disappeared into the ground.

Let Sarutobi Kanosuke rest for a while. Let Tobi take the blame for these problems in the Land of Rivers.

Since you all consider Konoha your enemy, you must all really want to kill Mitokado Homura.

I, Ye Guang, am a kind-hearted person and can't stand seeing others in distress. I've helped you fulfill your wish, so remember to come back and repay the favor later.

It is located 2 kilometers outside of Kyoto, the land of rivers.

Mitokado Koshi and Mitokado Nozomi, along with three guardian ninja, went out of the city to greet their father.

Mitomon Nozomi, originally named Utatane Nozomi, was the daughter of Utatane Koharu. After marrying Mitomon Echizen, she changed her name to Mitomon Nozomi.

Mito Monki said, "After Father leaves for the last river country, he should be able to return to the village."

"Yes, Father met with the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, the Land of Hot Springs, and the Land of Grass on this trip, making a huge detour around the Land of Fire. Father has worked so hard for Konoha."

The two stood on the bank of the river valley, their hearts aching for their father.

Unbeknownst to them, a swirling wooden mask slowly emerged from the edge of the river cliff, listening intently to their conversation.

The art of the mayfly is truly a divine art.

Black and White Zetsu used the Mayfly Technique to gather intelligence on the ninja world, becoming the mastermind behind it all.

The luminescent ape, by imitating the mayfly's tricks, can also be very dark.

Soon, a group of people appeared in the distance.

Mitomon En, accompanied by four assistants, instantly landed in front of Mitomon Etsu.

"Yue, Xi, it's been half a year since I last saw you."

Mitokado Yan looked at his son and daughter-in-law, feeling extremely happy.

It's a pity that Xi still hasn't gotten pregnant. I wish she could give me a grandson soon.

Among this group, Akimichi Torifu, who retired early, already has a grandson, while the other hardworking senior advisors have relatively few offspring.

The stronger the ninja, the more hidden injuries they have, and the more difficult it is for them to have children.

They all knew a secret: even though the Second Hokage was such a powerful ninja and invented so many forbidden and secret techniques, he still couldn't solve his infertility problem.

"Father, was the journey smooth?"

"Smoothly, yet not smoothly."

Mitokado Homura waved to the others, signaling his assistant and the other guardian ninjas to leave, leaving only the three of them on the riverbank.

Mitomon Yan took a few steps forward and stood on the bank, looking down at the rushing river in the deep valley.

Ye Guang's heart tightened, and he almost made his move prematurely.

Mitokado won't have discovered anything, will she? Or is she simply enjoying the scenery of the valley?
Mitokado Homura looked down at the river and said:
"The thing that went smoothly on this trip was that I appeased the daimyo of the three vassal states."

Even the Daimyo of the Land of Grass promised that he would have no ulterior motives and would not doubt Konoha's strength because of the deaths of three Guardian Ninja Captains.

To be honest, the ninja skills of the Shimura clan have declined with each generation.

When the village was founded, the Shimura clan was the fifth-ranked ninja clan. The Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi clans followed.

The Shimura clan can't even protect their daimyo now, causing so much trouble.

Mitomon said, "Although the Shimura clan's strength has declined, it was a close call, and all the daimyo will continue to entrust the missions to Konoha Village."

Mitokado smiled and said, "Nozomi, the problem is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

The Shimura clan botched their mission to protect the ninja.

Danzo's plan was to send Sakumo Hatake to the Land of Grass, create a mission failure, and then pin the blame for the lost mission on Sakumo Hatake.

However, Sakumo Hatake was too strong, and the plan failed.

The responsibility for the Daimyo of the Land of Grass's distrust of Konoha still rests on the shoulders of the Shimura clan.

Sakumo Hatake did an excellent job, yet the predicament of the Land of Grass still exists.

What I fear is that if Captain Shimura Kou, the Guardian Ninja Captain, dies again, the problem will resurface.

The doubt in Mito no Nozomi's eyes disappeared; she understood.

The success of Konoha's White Fang's mission has also caused trouble for his father and the others.

After a moment's thought, Mito Monkoshi said, "Father, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass has reversed his attitude and trusts Konoha again. Could we attribute the credit to your mission and prevent Hatake Sakumo from achieving another great feat?"

Mitokado Homura nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and said:
“That’s right, I’m already working on it. Yue, your idea is very good, you already understand the big picture of Konoha.”

Xi was very happy to hear her father praising her husband.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guang thought to himself, "Disgusting, utterly disgusting."

Mitomon Homura continued, "Yue, you must be careful here too. There are people watching the Shimura clan's guardian ninja, and there will also be people targeting you and Nozomi."

The Guardian Ninja Captain is the most lucrative position in Konoha, capable of influencing the allocation of tasks within a small country.

Many people are eyeing this spot.

The Sarutobi clan will serve as the captains of the guardian ninjas of the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan will serve as the captains of the guardian ninjas of the Land of Whirlpools, the Shimura clan will serve as the captains of the guardian ninjas of the Land of Grass, and we will serve as the captains of the guardian ninjas of the Land of Rivers.

This order was disrupted by the decline of the Shimura clan.

This is our foundation; we cannot afford to lose it.

Upon hearing that someone might attack him, Mitokadokoshi's voice was filled with worry. He said:

"Father, the daimyo of the land of rivers is sometimes unconscious and sometimes lucid, and the time he is unconscious is getting longer and longer."

I can't find the reason.

I suspect this matter is related to Sunagakure.

The Hidden Stone Village (Iwagakure) covets the mission share in the Land of Grass, even sending a Jinchuriki into it. I suspect the Hidden Sand Village will also take the risk, as they covet the mission share in the Land of Rivers.

Mitomon said softly, "Father, I suspect the Daimyo may have been poisoned."

Mitokado Yan's expression changed instantly, turning cold and stern.

The lord was poisoned; this is a serious matter.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "So that's how it is. The reason why the Daimyo's coma led to Chisa's loss of power was because Sunagakure was making moves. Unlike Iwagakure, which directly sent its elite troops into the Land of Grass, Sunagakure first used poison to test Konoha's reaction."

Mitomon felt a sense of lingering fear.

The Shimura clan was, after all, a large clan with many Jonin to support Danzo's extravagant lifestyle.

He and Xiaochun, who lives in the same dormitory, each have a son and a daughter.

The son and daughter-in-law can only die once.

Mitokado said, "Yue, it seems it's time to teach you that technique."

The technique my second-generation teacher taught me requires a lot of money. I'm asking you to find a way to get that money. How much savings do you have right now?

Ye Guang's eyes subtly changed. What secret technique was Mitokado Yan about to teach his son?
The technique sounds incredibly powerful, so powerful that Mitokado Homura believes that if his son masters it, the current threat can be resolved.

Ye Guang felt a tickle in his heart.

Mitokazu said, "Father, I now have 112 million taels. I wonder if that's enough?"

Ye Guang was taken aback.

How many?

112 million taels?

How much is Hiruzen Sarutobi's head worth?

You have enough money to buy Hiruzen Sarutobi's life!

So, it turns out the big rat of Konoha Village is you and your son!
You're really greedy, you dare to be greedy, and you're really good at being greedy.

"112 million taels...that's a bit low," Mitomon Haru said after thinking for a moment.

"Yue, you've been the guardian ninja of the land of rivers for four years now, haven't you?"

Over the past four years, you have been diligent and have not wasted any time, but you have not been resolute enough.

I've always sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi, all for the sake of the Sarutobi clan's explosive tags.

The manufacture and sale of explosive tags in Konoha Village are mainly monopolized by the Sarutobi clan, with each explosive tag costing 1 ryo.

An ordinary genin might be able to save up three to five explosive tags over several months, which they can use to fight desperately in a critical moment.

The Sarutobi clan will never lower the price of explosive tags.

The Uchiha clan is skilled at making explosive tags, but the village classifies explosive tags as controlled military supplies and does not allow the Uchiha clan to sell them outside the village.

The explosive tags created by the Uchiha clan can only be used within their own clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi promised me that I could buy the Sarutobi clan's explosive tags at a low price.

The Sarutobi clan is willing to sell me explosive tags for 5000 ryo each.

I've taken the money you deposited; I'll prepare enough detonating tags for you.

"Now that Sunagakure is eyeing the Land of Rivers, it's time to teach you that technique."

Mitokazushi was thrilled, his breathing quickening: "Father, is it the Second Hokage's Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags technique?"

"Yes," Mitokado Homura said.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi's Five Elements Great Combo has no upper limit to its power as long as there is enough chakra."

Although the Multi-Explosive Tags technique is only an A-rank ninjutsu, its power has no upper limit if you have enough money to buy enough explosive tags.

Inside the valley, Ye Guang listened with trepidation.

It turns out that the mutual explosion tag was passed to Mitokado Homura. Mitokado Homura is quite cunning; there is no information about him inside or outside the village.

Mitomon said, "Father, the daimyo's eldest prince has found me and wants to cooperate with me."

He wanted to deal with his aunt, Okura no Tomosa.

If the cooperation is successful and I get rid of Oi Chisa, His Highness will give me a one-time reward of 3000 million taels.

In addition, I will send people to guard the three hydroelectric power stations.

The guard duties are very rewarding, with one A-level mission paid out weekly.

Mitokado asked, "Are the benefits really that great? How does he plan to cooperate?"

Mitomon said, "Father, His Highness ordered us to assassinate Oi Chisa and her son."

Oi Chisa controls three hydroelectric power stations and is the Crown Prince's biggest political rival.

Beneath the mask, Luminous's eyes gleamed coldly.

His Highness's ultimate goal was three hydroelectric power stations.

Chisa is blocking His Highness's path...
Mitokado Homura said, "This mission is simple, just kill a woman and a child, I think we should just let..."

Mitokado Yan was speaking when he suddenly sensed an extreme killing intent!
Suddenly, a person jumped out from the cliff of the valley. Before anyone could see who it was, a kunai was already aimed straight at Mitokado Yan's eye socket!

Each of the four facets of the kunai is as smooth as a mirror.

One of the reflections showed the terrified face of the son, Mito Kazue!

Bang!
A plume of white smoke rose up!
Ye Guang was stunned; with his current strength, his sneak attack had failed.

After the white smoke dissipated, the kunai pierced a huge scroll.

At the crucial moment, the large scroll blocked the kunai.

Mitokado Yan and Mitokado Koshi quickly jumped back.

Both sides carefully sized each other up.

Mitokado Homura recognized the person instantly upon seeing the iconic swirling mask.

"hooligan!"

Night Light stared at Mitomon Yan's large scroll.

In the original work, there is a scene on the night of the Nine-Tails where Hiruzen Sarutobi leads the people of Konoha to fight against the Nine-Tails. Among them, Homura Mitokado, who wears glasses, has a huge scroll in his hand.

I wonder what secret weapon is hidden in that scroll...
