Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 44: All He Speaks of Righteousness
In the middle of the night, the Hokage Building was brightly lit.

The door to the Hokage's office opened, and Ye Guang, following behind the yellow dog and the black gorilla, saw the scene inside.

The Third Hokage was smoking behind his desk.

Danzo and Mitokado Homura sat on one side of the sofa, while Senju Rinki, the clan leader, sat on the other side.

Behind Senju Rinki stood Kato Dan.

Kato has long, silver-white hair and a cold, stern face.

Three members of the secret service entered the office and stood behind Danzo.

Ye Guang glanced at them; both of their expressions were grim, suggesting they had just had a fight.

Danzo turned to Danzo and said, "Yellow Dog, report on tonight's events."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!" the yellow dog said.

"Tonight, all the spies in Kumogakure have been mobilized. Some of them are creating chaos elsewhere to attract the attention of the Anbu, while others are directly targeting Princess Uzumaki."

The Anbu acted immediately. Princess Uzumaki's guard squadron was intercepted by the Cloud Ninja, but the Black Gorilla Squadron arrived in time and caught up with Princess Uzumaki.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Something's not right." Their Black Gorilla Squadron's original intention was to pursue the Cloud Ninja spy that Ye Guang had discovered, but the Yellow Dog Captain's description made it seem as if the Anbu had made preparations in advance.

This reporting method greatly reduces the responsibility of the secret service.

The yellow dog continued:
"The Cloud Ninja escaped through a hidden hole in the Konoha wall and were caught up by the Black Gorilla Squadron about one kilometer away from Konoha."

All the Cloud Ninja spies were wiped out, and the Black Gorilla Squadron rescued Princess Uzumaki.

The Third Hokage nodded repeatedly, praising the Anbu's excellent performance in stopping the damage in time.

The yellow dog said:
"Princess Whirlpool was kidnapped for the following two reasons."

First, at 11 p.m., Princess Whirlpool lingered outside the Thousand Hands territory, and no one came out to take her back to the Thousand Hands territory.

Second, the Cloud Ninja spies are deeply embedded; there are at least five spies, and no trace of them had been discovered before.

Captain Yellow Dog is not only incredibly strong, but also a master at shifting blame.

He didn't say the Anbu had no responsibility, only that the Anbu hadn't discovered the five Cloud Ninja spies.

This is not a crime. Konoha welcomes and sees off people every day. With so many mission clients and tourists entering the village, it is impossible to rule out all spies.

The problems in the hidden areas are minor and don't even warrant accountability.

The first reason he gave was quite suggestive.

Princess Whirlpool was kidnapped because she didn't go home late at night, which increased the risk of danger.

As for why Princess Uzumaki doesn't go home, the Anbu doesn't know.

The Third Hokage looked at Senju Rinki.

Thousand Hands Linmu explained:
"Kushina hasn't adapted to Konoha yet. I told the clan that whatever Kushina does, let her do it as she pleases and don't force her."

She was still reeling from the annihilation of her clan and suffered from nightmares and insomnia every night, so she didn't want to go back to her room to sleep.

I did this so that she could adapt as quickly as possible and complete the Nine-Tails seal as soon as possible.

The change of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is something that no one in this house needs to hide.

The higher-ups aside, the fact that three secret agents were here proves they are trustworthy and are the executors of the village's secrets.

Kato Dan is a core member of the Senju clan. Having mastered forbidden techniques, he can unleash Kage-level combat power under special circumstances.

The Spirit Transformation Technique is a forbidden technique for long-range sniping, with astonishing deterrent power.

Danzo then said:
"Chief Linmu! If you can't control Princess Whirlpool, you can simply hand her over to the village!"

The village has a better way of managing Princess Whirlpool!

Let Princess Whirlpool do whatever she wants? How did you come up with such a terrible idea?
Lady Mito has worked diligently for decades. When has she ever caused the village any worry because of Kurama?
After the older generation of Senju members passed away, they became increasingly disappointing to the village. The Senju clan handled the matter of replacing the Jinchūriki very poorly.

If it weren't for the quick reaction of the Anbu tonight, Princess Uzumaki would have been kidnapped to Kumogakure!

Intelligence from the border indicates that the Cloud Ninja infiltration force has reached a point 60 kilometers from Konoha Village.

If it had been just half an hour later, Konoha would have lost Princess Uzumaki forever, and the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

I suggest stripping the Thousand Hands Clan's Uzumaki Princess of her guardianship and placing her directly under the village's supervision.

I think Sarutobi Biwako is a great candidate. She's a powerful medical ninja and has raised several children; she's perfectly capable of taking care of Princess Uzumaki!

Senju Rinki glanced at Danzo, then at Mitokado Homura, and finally stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand holding the pipe froze in mid-air, wondering why Rinki Senju was looking at him like that.

Thousand Hands Linmu slowly said:
“Brother Hiruzen, I still remember the scene when I picked you up at the gate of the clan's territory when we were children and took you to see my father.”

Back then, you were my older brother who patiently guided me in ninjutsu.

I admire you so much that even though Father and Uncle Tobirama treated you much better than we cousins, I never had any complaints.

When did the conflicts between us start to escalate and become increasingly unbearable?
If you become Hokage, my Senju clan will fully support you.

But why are you targeting my Senju clan more and more?
Brother Hiruzen, how long has it been since you last visited the Senju clan's territory, since you last saw your master's wife, my mother?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

Yes, how long has it been since I last visited Mrs. Mito?
His wife, Biwako, often visited him. Biwako was Mito's private physician and kept a close eye on his health.

It seems everyone is waiting for Mito Uzumaki to die.

The greatest tragedy for old age is seeing the anticipation of death in the eyes of others.

It seems that as long as I die, many problems will disappear.

Upon careful consideration, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that only Mito Uzumaki had such an open-minded attitude; how could an ordinary old man endure such a situation?

When the news of the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan arrived, Mito Uzumaki must have been heartbroken and, like Kushina Uzumaki, unable to find peace every day.

The replacement of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is imminent.

Mitokado Homura then spoke:

"Chief Linmu, the village has absolutely no intention of targeting the Senju clan, nor any other ninja clan."

The problem now is that Princess Uzumaki, as a Jinchūriki, should always prioritize the village.

Let me be frank, we are very worried right now.

Princess Uzumaki was raised by the Senju clan and instilled with incorrect ideas, making her consider the Senju clan's interests in everything she did.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is extremely important; if her development goes astray, serious problems will arise.

The Jinchūriki of Iwagakure and the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure were both controlled by the Tailed Beasts due to their feuds with their villages, causing riots within their villages.

It's too easy for a Jinchūriki to breed hatred.

The training of Jinchūriki cannot afford the slightest mistake!

Ye Guang thoroughly enjoyed the last part; the arguments between the higher-ups were quite amusing.

Everyone was spouting lofty ideals, and no one could convince anyone else.

Senju Rinki's face was grim, and Mitomon Homura pointed out the most intractable point between the two sides.

Is the Nine-Tails the Nine-Tails of Konoha Village or the Nine-Tails of the Senju clan?
