Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 480 I Recommend You as the Fifth Kazekage
The scorching jade bullet shot out at an exaggerated speed.

Maki stopped abruptly, forgetting to attack Shukaku, and turned to look at his father, Advisor Maki.

Both father and son practiced Wind Release ninjutsu, but the speed of Yekura's Blazing Release bullets was even faster than their Wind Release speed.

Advisor March said, "This speed... even among wind-style ninjutsu known for its speed, it would only be Wind Release: Vacuum Ball, which is the signature wind-style technique of Shimura Danzo of Konoha."

Wind Release: Vacuum Ball is a secret technique that neither Machi nor his son Maki dared to hope for.

While attacking Shukaku with Wind Release, Maki observed Pakura's Scorch Release.

The scorching bullets kept hitting Shukaku's left shoulder.

Shukaku's claws are so large that its upper arms and shoulders appear weak.

After thirty seconds of continuous barrage of scorching bullets, Shukaku's left arm was severed!
When the sand was hit by the scorching jade, it flew backward and transformed into colorful glass under the high temperature.

With her immense chakra and terrifying destructive power, Pakura displayed her strength before everyone.

Shukaku screamed in agony after its left arm was severed.

It tried to repair an arm with sand, but the sand at the severed arm melted into glass, rendering the sand ineffective.

Left with no other choice, Shukaku shattered its entire left shoulder and left chest into sand, then reformed its body, making it look even more pathetic.

Just then, Yekura arrived beside Shukaku.

Wind Release techniques and explosive tags flew over Yekura's head in turn, striking Shukaku.

Yecang slammed his hand on the ground and summoned the Bunfuku Chagama, which had been scattered somewhere before.

A surge of sealing chakra erupted from the Bunpuku Chagama, rushing towards Shukaku, whose body was now only half its original size. The sealing runes crawled like snakes across Shukaku's body.

The mantra patterns are faintly discernible; they are from the Buddhist Dharani Sutra of the Treasure Chest Seal.

The fox's abilities partly come from Hashirama Senju, whose abilities are related to the Buddhist temple of the Fire Temple. Therefore, Yekura has also studied a lot of Buddhist scriptures.

Yekura has completely mastered the Bunfuku tea kettle left behind by the monk Bunfuku.

Shukaku wanted to resist, but then it remembered that it had just killed the Fourth Kazekage and decided it was better to hide. The Sand Ninja, now in a frenzy, were giving it a headache.

Shukaku ignored the nearby Sand Ninja and scanned the surroundings.

Who was that ninja who could communicate directly with it in the soul world?

That person was very strong, especially in terms of soul power, which surprised Shukaku.

Shukaku thought to himself, "Let's hide for a while..."
Advisor March led his men to the breach in the city wall and saw Yekura, who had already sealed Shukaku.

Seeing that Yekura had slung the Bunpuku tea pot over his shoulder, Machi thought for a moment, then turned to the others and said:

"Under the command of your respective battalion commanders, assess the damage and rescue the residents buried by sand."

Soon, only Advisor March and Ye Cang remained nearby.

The two looked together at the devastated Windbird City.

Three maple trees, each 300 meters tall, stand in the center of Windbird City, like a miracle.

Outside the city, there is a huge fallen maple tree.

Around the maple tree, the mansion of the Great Lord was completely destroyed.

"Jonin Yekura, what are your thoughts on the upcoming war?"

"My opinion?"

"Yes, Jonin Yekura, your opinion is very important."

Yecang looked at Advisor March with a puzzled expression, but then she thought about it and realized that the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was dead, and her strength had been recognized by Advisor March.

She is one of the strongest people in Sunagakure.

Yecang stared at the three 300-meter-tall maple trees and said:
"That level of Wood Release ninjutsu was used by the Konoha ANBU chief, Fox."

Without Shukaku, no one could interrupt that Wood Release technique.

Advisor March, I believe we should withdraw from the war; we should not declare war on Konoha.

The Sand Village is too weak. What we need to do is cultivate outstanding young people and accumulate strength, rather than getting caught up in the vortex of the Ninja World War too early.

Our all-out attack on Konoha is merely to divert some of Konoha's attention from scheming individuals like Onoki.

The Fourth Kazekage has sacrificed himself, and while the Third Kazekage in other villages are still young and vigorous, we are already wondering who will become the Fifth Kazekage. Doesn't this prove how weak we are?

"you."

“There is a lot of evidence that we are weak…” Ye Cang was about to continue when he suddenly stopped and looked at Advisor March.

Advisor Machi said, "Jonin Yekura, you're right, Sunagakure is too weak."

Sunagakure needs to consider the issue of the Fifth Kazekage, and you are the most suitable candidate for the Fifth Kazekage.

"I, my forces, and Lord Rasa's subordinates will jointly elect you as the Fifth Kazekage."

"But I'm too young and have no foundation."

Ye Cang thought to himself that apart from his student Xiao Juan, he had no loyal subordinates, unlike Kazekage Rasa and Advisor Machi, who both had followers.

Machi said, "The foundation can be cultivated slowly, but Sunagakure needs a strong person to serve as Kazekage."

The Third Kazekage disappeared, and the Fourth Kazekage died at the hands of Shukaku.

Sunagakure is too fragile; it cannot withstand another storm.

Your strength, and your decision to withdraw from the war, are most suitable for Sunagakure at this time.

Therefore, Jonin Pakura, please shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Advisor March's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"The ninja world is extremely cruel. Ninjas who are not strong enough can die at any time. The Kazekage is the leader of Sunagakure, but he has no dignity in front of either Konoha's fox or Shukaku."

"Yakura, I hope you can find the right path and lead Sunagakure out of this quagmire."

Ye Cang thought to himself, at least Sunagakure won't get bogged down in the war.

The fox had long planned to pull Sunagakure out of the war, but in the end, he still used killing Rasa as a breakthrough.

“Alright, Advisor March, I will take on the responsibility of the Fifth Kazekage.”

March nodded, then waved to someone in the distance.

Two young men approached March and Ye Cang.

March said, "I will nominate Yekura to be the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure. From today onwards, you two will fully support Lady Yekura's work!"

Maki looked at the young Yecang in surprise, then looked at Maki in disbelief.

March introduced Yecang as follows:

"This is my son, Maki. He has a good talent for Wind Release."

This is Karura, a subordinate of Lord Rasa, and the granddaughter of the Second Kazekage, Lord Shamon. She possesses the secret technique of Sand Release and can manipulate sand.

Yekura looked at Karyura and found that Karyura looked grief-stricken and had not yet recovered from the tragedy of Lord Rasa's murder.

Yekura had heard of Karura before. He was in a relationship with the young Rasa and inherited the Sand Release technique developed by the Second Kazekage. He was a representative of the Sunagakure secret technique school.

As for the puppet faction, Advisor Chiyo and Yokura have a pretty good relationship.

Maki quickly replied, "Lord Yecang, please feel free to give me any orders in the future!"

Karyu swallowed hard and said, "Lord Yekura, please give your orders."

Ye Cang nodded and said, "I understand. Let's clean up the mess in Windbird City first."

When no one was around, Ye Cang used the Illusionary Blood Shadow Technique to inform Fox that Ma Qi wanted to nominate her as the Wind Shadow.

Galuro, a member of the Mystic School, and Machi, the son of Machi, an important high-ranking advisor, are now her subordinates.

The fox sent back a cryptic reply:

If Karyu had a daughter, she would name her Temari; if she had a son, she would name him Gaara.

Yekura was full of doubts. Under the pretext of discussing Shukaku's Sand Manipulation Technique with Karyu, she examined Karyu's body.

Karyura wasn't pregnant, so why was the fox interested in Karyura's child?

As the head of Konoha's Anbu, wouldn't the fox have been eyeing Karuro for a while now?
