Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 371 Konoha 42 Years

The New Year of Konoha Year 42 arrived in a somber atmosphere.

The number of missions in the Grass Country has decreased, and the number of missions in the River Country also seems to be in jeopardy.

The chill permeated every Konoha ninja.

The ninjas of Konoha all believed that 42 would not be an easy year.

I wonder if Sakumo's trip to the Land of Grass will be able to reverse the decline.

With nothing to do during the New Year period, Ye Guang thought for a moment and used reverse teleportation to arrive at the hiding place of the Whirlpool Clan in the Rain Country.

Youjia walked out of the barrier, holding an umbrella.

"This is the first time I've seen you use an umbrella. In the Land of Rain, a rain hood is more convenient than an umbrella. It's too much trouble."

Yu Jia, holding Ye Guang's hand, arrived at their secret tree hollow.

The four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and three bathrooms, illuminated by the night, make the tree hole feel like a cozy little home.

Yu Jia removed Ye Guang's mask and whispered in his ear, "Fox, I'm pregnant!"

Ye Guang was stunned; You Jia was finally pregnant.

Of all his women, he met Youjia the earliest, but she became pregnant the latest.

Xiaojing Yebo was born at the end of 40, Yefeng and Shanzhong Yeying were born in 41, and Youjia's child would not be born until the second half of 42.

"Alright, alright! Youjia, then take good care of yourself from now on. If the Vortex Clan encounters any trouble, just contact me anytime, and I will definitely come to protect you."

The ability of luminescent materials to control dark areas is becoming increasingly stronger. In the wood industry, while it may not be able to do whatever it wants, it can at least move freely.

You Jia nodded and said, "For the past six months or even a year, I haven't been able to use reverse psychic abilities to coordinate with you as I used to."

"It's alright," Ye Guang said. "Since Hatake Sakumo has become a foreign affairs advisor, I can't act recklessly for the time being, and I won't be making any big moves for now."

He has forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to relinquish a position as a senior advisor.

The main objective now is to stabilize Sakumo Hatake's position and prevent Danzo and others from using other means to force him to his death.

Sakumo Hatake is good in every way, but he's too rigid and easily broken. He's clearly very strong, but there's a feeling that he could die at any moment.

Holding Yu Jia in his arms, Ye Guang used his Wood Release technique to create a recliner, and the two snuggled together, listening to the pattering rain outside the window.

Before long, Ye Guang felt that You Jia's body temperature had risen considerably, and her face had turned red.

"That's not a good idea," Ye Guang said, already quite experienced. "The first few months aren't suitable."

"I know it's not good, but..."

Like countless stars, her face blushed with shyness; such a wonderful woman made Ye Guang feel a pang of heartache.

After returning to Konoha Village, Yagami did not leave the underground base of the izakaya.

He opened the scroll on the right and tried to communicate with Yakushi Nonou.

Soon after, some text appeared on the scroll.

Yakushi Nonou is currently in Kyoto, the Land of Grass. The gibbon forbids her from returning to the village and instead orders her to investigate Hatake Sakumo's actions and the rogue ninja Sarutobi Kanosuke.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Can Yakushi Nono find Sarutobi Kanosuke in the Land of Grass? Sarutobi Kanosuke is in the village."

Sakumo Hatake has been given the title of advisor, but the village's higher-ups do not trust him and have even sent their most elite spies to investigate him.

After the New Year, Yagami thought he could stay in the village for a while, but on the fifth day after the New Year, he was summoned to the Hokage's office.

In the office, there was a yellow dog and Xiaochun, who had switched dorm rooms.

Before anyone else could speak, Koharu Utatane said, "Fox, there's an urgent mission that requires you to go to the Land of Wind immediately."

Ye Guang was very puzzled. Koharu Utatane rarely gave orders to the Anbu, and this was the first time he had dealt directly with Koharu Utatane, the advisor.

Koharu said, "Yellow Dog said that the spy lurking in the Land of Wind has sent back a message."

Sasori, a disciple of the Third Kazekage, actually fitted his puppet with Mitokado Homura's Five Ninja Swords!

Those weapons were passed down to Mitokado Homura by the Second Generation Master; they were originally part of the First Generation Master's weapon treasury.

"We can't let Mitokado Homura's five ninja swords remain unclaimed. Fox, go into the Land of Wind and retrieve those weapons."

Nightlight took the mission scroll and saw the five weapons described on it.

Thousand-Armed Broadsword, Chakra Metal Ninja Sword, Giant Fuma Shuriken, Assassination Black Blade, Nine-Section Blade.

Everything else is fine, but forget about the nine-section sword; that sword was destroyed by Mitomon En's multiplicative explosive tags.

Ye Guang said, "Okay, Advisor Xiao Chun, I'll set off now to the Land of Wind to retrieve Lord Mitokado Homura's Five Ninja Swords."

After leaving the office, Ye Guang caught up with Huang Quan and asked, "Lord Huang Quan, I'm lacking a suitable weapon. I wonder if I could choose one after we retrieve it?"

Huang Quan said, "Go and complete the mission with peace of mind. This mission is very important. Consultant Xiaochun from the dormitory transfer program attaches great importance to this mission."

As for the distribution of the recovered weapons, I can apply to the Hokage and Koharu Utatane to allocate one of the weapons to you.

However, you should be careful not to use these weapons in front of Senju clan ninjas.

They can't go back anyway, but it will cause a lot of trouble and breed resentment among the Senju clan.

Ye Guang said, "I understand. Many of the traditions passed down by the first and second generation leaders were left to the village, not to the Senju clan. Of course, they have grievances."

A village is a village, and the Senju clan is the Senju clan.

Hearing that the yellow dog supported him, Ye Guang was very satisfied.

"Lord Yellow Dog, this time we may have to infiltrate Sunagakure. I think I'll go alone. Even if I bring Aya into Sunagakure, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out."

Yellow Dog thought for a moment and said, "Fox, you know that ANBU ninjas must operate in small teams."

On the one hand, it allows for mutual support, which can effectively improve the task completion rate.

On the other hand, this has always been a means of surveillance for the secret service.

As the deputy minister, you have an even greater responsibility to maintain order within the secret service and cannot lead the way in breaking the rules.

You can take a small team into the Land of Wind, hide in the distance, and wait for you there.

Nightlight nodded. He hadn't considered gaining complete freedom; the Hokage needed to know all of the Anbu's operations and wouldn't allow any Anbu member to carry out a mission alone.

He was testing the village's limits.

Allowing him to lead a small team to meet him from afar was already a great freedom for him.

Once out of the squad's sight, who knows what I did?

After targeting the Leaf Monkey Squad in the Dark Division, Nightlight left the village.

We traversed the forests of the Land of Fire and leaped over the rivers of the Land of Rivers.

Night Light arrived in Kyoto, the land of rivers.

"Yehou, go find the Guardian Ninja Captain and find out about Sasori's activities in Kyoto, the Land of Rivers."

"Okay, my lord!"

After diverting the leaf monkey squad, Ye Guang sneaked into the Dazang Temple.

In the main hall of Chisa's palace, a toddler named Ii Yomo was running wildly on the floor.

This child has a very strong physique; he has a high level of talent among the Vortex clan.

Ye Guang watched Ye Bo from the shadows for a while. When Ye Bo got tired of playing, the power was turned off, and he went to bed with the help of a maid, Ye Guang instantly appeared behind Xiao Jing Zhi Sha.

Oi Chisa is processing some documents.

On her desk sat the seal of the daimyo of the land of rivers, who acted as the daimyo's representative.

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands pressed down on Chisa's shoulders and began to massage her.

Chisa was startled, looked up and saw a fox mask, then breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned back, resting her head on the fox's belly, enjoying the fox's massage.

"Chisa, what is the current situation in the Land of Rivers?"

Chisa said, "My brother, the Daimyo, was poisoned. Konoha sent a medical ninja, who said the poison caused irreversible damage to his nervous system."

Furthermore, since His Highness was assassinated by a Sand Ninja puppeteer, I now govern the Land of Rivers.

"Irreversible damage?"

Yagami believed that inviting Tsunade might offer hope of curing the daimyo, but why did he want to invite Tsunade?
His alliance with Tsunade was extremely well-hidden.

Senju Yako can ask Tsunade for help, but the Anbu vice-commander, Fox, cannot.

Besides, it's a good thing for Chisa and her son that Chisa has more power.

He wouldn't tell Chisa that he could get Tsunade to help him.

What if Chisa doesn't want her brother to wake up either? What if she can't bring herself to say it?

How could Chisa be allowed to make such a difficult choice?

He should play the villain himself; he's good at it.

Chisa said, "Three days ago, Advisor Sakumo left Kyoto and went to the Land of Grass."

I felt very safe when he was around. I've heard the name White Fang many times.

"After he left, I felt like there was danger everywhere in Kyoto."

Ye Guang said, "It's alright, I'm on my way to the Land of Wind. I'll teach the Sand Ninja a lesson there and make them behave themselves so they won't cause trouble in the Land of Rivers again."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Sha felt much more at ease.

"Look how big and round the moon is tonight. I want to see if there's anything bigger and rounder than the moon..."
-
The full moon was like a silver plate.

In the latter half of the night, Nightlight awaited the Leaf Monkey team outside Kyoto.

He thought he would see Yakushi Nonou here.

Unfortunately, a message came back from the right scroll that Yakushi Nonou had gone to Kyoto, the Land of Grass, to continue gathering information on Hatake Sakumo.

Before long, the leaf monkey team arrived outside the city.

"My lord, I met with the Guardian Ninja Captain Hiruzen Sarutobi. He told me about the clues regarding Sasori of the Sand Village and gave me a scroll."

Ye Guang took the scroll and glanced at it.

Information about Sarutobi Hibiki is scarce and rudimentary, but at least Yoruichi had seen Sasori.

What surprised him even more was that after Mitokado died, the position of captain of the guardian ninja of the daimyo of the Land of Rivers fell into the hands of the Sarutobi clan.

In this way, the Sarutobi clan served as the captains of the guardian ninja for the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Hot Springs.

That's really unseemly.

Nightlight looked toward the Land of Fire.

Sakumo Hatake became a foreign affairs advisor, responsible for the security of the four small countries, making it difficult to continue attacking them.

So, with the death of the Fire Country's Daimyo's guardian ninja, is Sakumo Hatake's responsibility not so great?

After finishing the mission of dealing with Mitokado's Flame Weapon, I can go and take care of the guardian ninja of the Land of Fire's daimyo.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Land of Rain.

When Afei entered the tree hole, he was surprised to see several wooden tubes growing from the waist of the Outer Path Demon Statue, connecting to Madara's back.

"Lord Ban, what's going on?"

Madara Uchiha said, "Konoha Village is developing too well, which is not conducive to Nagato's future capture of the Nine-Tails."

I'll take some time to prepare, then go to Konoha Village to kill the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki and release it, making it easier to seal it later.

Ah Fei shouted happily:

"Lord Madara! Does the energy of the Gedo Mazo flow into your body like water?"

Does this count as eating? Does it mean I don't need to poop?

　Who reported me? They won't let me drive at all! All my driving skills are wasted!
