Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 409 The Perfect Guinea Pig

When the fox-lord asked if he was the daimyo assassinated by the Cloud Ninja, Nara Kiichi shook his head and said:

"I haven't found any direct evidence. What should I do, Lord Fox? I'm afraid the daimyo isn't just missing, but has already been murdered."

"What evidence do we need for this? If we produce evidence, do you think the Cloud Ninja will admit it?" Ye Guang said.

"First, be more flexible in your approach. Make bold assumptions and dare to frame others; this has always been our secret service's operating principle."

No evidence is needed; if the Cloud Ninja had the motive, then it must have been them who did it.

It must have been the Cloud Ninja who took advantage of the situation to harm the Daimyo.

"Ju Yi, you return to Kyoto first. Use your intelligence to pin the blame on the Cloud Ninja."

Nara Ichiichi was truly suffering.

While this arrangement is possible, I don't know if others will believe it.

Ye Guang said, "The main point of the propaganda is that Konoha has the least reason to kill the Daimyo. It is Yun Ren who is unwilling to give up and is trying to use underhanded tricks outside the battlefield to severely damage Konoha."

Nara nodded slightly. Logically, there was nothing wrong with saying that. The Land of Hot Springs had returned to Konoha, and Konoha had no motive to assassinate the Daimyo.

Nara Kiichi then said, "Lord Fox, I have discovered that the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water has bribed many wandering ninjas in an attempt to establish the Hidden Hot Water Village."

Upon hearing of the daimyo's murder, the wandering ninjas fled Kyoto in panic.

Ye Guang remembered that Hidan had a headband in the original story; he was a rogue ninja from Yugakure.

It turns out that Yugakure Village was founded by this current daimyo.

Ye Guang said, "Don't worry about those wandering ninjas; they can't take the blame for assassinating the daimyo."

The investigation is mainly focused on the Cloud Ninja; we must find several Cloud Ninja spies.

Furthermore, the royal family and nobles of the Land of Hot Water should decide on the next daimyo as soon as possible; the Land of Hot Water must not descend into chaos.

"Yes, Lord Fox."

Nara Ikuichi left with a heavy heart; Konoha was truly going through a turbulent time.

Shinnosuke was killed, and the fox avenged him by severely injuring the Cloud Ninja, bringing him great honor. However, the daimyo then disappeared again.

Lord Fox means that there's no need to look for a daimyo; just let the Land of Hot Springs choose the next daimyo.

A few days later, Ye Guang had a sudden thought.

Someone is chanting the name of an evil god... Is Hidan that efficient?

He closed his eyes slightly, responding to Hidan's prayer.

In a town in the Land of Hot Water, Hidan, dressed as a servant, had black and white curse marks all over his body.

Before him lay a young nobleman.

Hidan, disguised as a servant, obtained the blood of a noble youth and completed a grand sacrificial ceremony in the dead of night.

Hidan plunged a sharp spike deep into his own heart.

Blood splattered, and his pain reached its peak.

"Everyone who does evil must repent..."
Cleanse sin with pain!
Please the gods with your blood!

Ye Guang's consciousness arrived in the Blood God Realm, where a drop of blood appeared.

The second drop of blood after the name.

Very good. Nightlight's immortality can quickly heal a wound that has bled two drops, which is equivalent to being pricked twice with a toothpick.

Although progress is slow, progress at all is good.

Unfortunately, Hidan fell into a coma after his heart was pierced, and only regained consciousness several hours later.

The blood droplets in the blood pool are too few, resulting in poor recovery ability.

"Hidan! My believer! Continue to sacrifice the wicked!"

Upon hearing the divine decree, Hidan was so moved that he wept on the ground.

“Great evil god, I am your loyal servant, and I will continue to search for evildoers…”

Yoru was very pleased with Hidan's devotion.

Hidan's strength was too weak; he could only complete the ritual through sneak attacks. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

Hidan's strength lies in his immortality, and a reinforcement plan can be designed around his immortality.

Ye Guang immediately thought of the Eight Gates Formation.

As long as you can't die from training, just train to the point of exhaustion. Those injuries from the Eight Gates Formation shouldn't be anything to an immortal body... right?

Hidan stabs himself in the heart twice for no reason, and his heart would explode if he opened the Eight Gates, so isn't that perfect?
Immortality combined with the Eight Gates Formation might be a perfect match.

We don't know how effective it will be, let Hidan try it first.

Hidan is the perfect guinea pig for Yoruichi right now.

If Hidan succeeds, then Yako can use this ability without worry.

Although the Otsutsuki clan possesses immense power, physical attacks are the most effective against them.

In any world, physics is the ultimate truth.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "After returning to the village, I need to find a way to obtain the Eight Gates Formation."

Alternatively, one could directly plot to seal the Book of Forbidden Arts and obtain all forbidden techniques.

The glow of the night attracted the hippopotamus:

"Hippo, we can't delay any longer. We've chased him for so long over this mere earthen mound; we must kill him as soon as possible."

Hippo hurriedly said, "Lord Fox, all four groups of Cloud Ninja have been killed. Only one group remains, the one that fled to the Land of Iron in the west!"

"Let's go see just how strong Earth Platform's Lava Release defense really is."

Ye Guang led his men to the western border of the Land of Hot Springs. Soon, the Konoha ninja found traces of the Cloud Ninja.

Jonin Kōto warned, "Lord Fox, the Cloud Ninja might have set a trap."

"A trap? For example?"

"For example, explosive tag traps, wire traps, ambush traps, and so on."

Ye Guang nodded; he understood Mu Mu Gongdao's thoughts.

The vast majority of ninjas do not possess special abilities and their fighting style is steady and methodical.

After Ye Guang formed the hand seals, he created four wooden clones.

Of all the clone techniques, the Wood Clone is in a class of its own, far superior to the Shadow Clone, because the Wood Clone possesses the unique life force of Wood Release.

Both its reaction speed and intensity are stronger than the Shadow Clone Technique.

When Mokumu Kōdō saw the five identical fox-like figures, his heart tightened.

As a ninja of the same age as Jiraiya and others, Koto Mokumo witnessed the imposing figure of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, at the end of the First Shinobi World War.

In addition to being tormented by Sarutobi Kanosuke in the past two years, when Kōdō saw the five clones, the first thing that came to mind was the Five Elements Great Combo.

He immediately shook his head, thinking he was overthinking it; it couldn't possibly be the Five Elements Great Combo.

How did the Fox Lord get involved with the Five Elements Great Combo?
In the early stages, Lord Fox was skilled in two elemental ninjutsu: Earth Spear and Water Severing Wave. In the middle stages, he became skilled in defensive secret techniques, and now he is skilled in Wood Release.

The growth path of adults is extremely clear and has no connection with the mastery of the five attributes required for the Five Elements Great Combo.

The four wooden clones rushed towards the Cloud Ninja, triggering the wire trap and the explosive tag trap as expected.

Unlike the shadow clone, the wooden clone could not be destroyed by explosive tags, wire traps, or other means.

After clearing the traps, Ye Guang said, "Go ahead, I'll cover for you."

Mokumu Kōdō clicked his tongue in amazement and led more than 50 ninjas towards the Cloud Ninja.

Mokumu Kōdō moved very quickly, forcing the earthen platform out of the ground.

Separated by a small river, the Leaf Village and the Cloud Village stood facing each other.

Tsuchida and the other Cloud Ninja were on high alert, their faces filled with despair, as if they would die at any moment.

In fact, they really will die in the next moment.

Ye Guang suddenly felt an itch in his throat.

Damn it, I'm about to start trash-talking again. What should I do?
