Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 500 Easy things
After channeling chakra into the kunai, the arm transformed into a swarm of insects and disappeared, leaving only the Flying Thunder God kunai in its place.

Aries left the castle tower and hid in a controlled pavilion in Kyoto, looking out at the distant castle tower through the window.

One end of Kyoto is the magnificent, brightly lit castle tower, while the other end is a slum.

One is in the light, the other in the shadows; the other side is clearly visible.

Aries wondered if Lord Fox would have time to come here. Lord Fox was busy dealing with the Iwa ninja on the front lines.

If there's no news tonight, he'll go and retrieve the adult's Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Inside the castle tower, Yako appeared instantly, grabbed a kunai, and then immediately vanished into the ground using the Mayfly Technique.

The war in the Land of Grass is drawing to a close, and the frontline troops are dispersing to pursue the Iwa ninja and are planning to invade the Land of Earth.

The three Sannin haven't caught up with him yet, so Nightlight has time to make some plans.

Infiltrating the daimyo's palace, Yako saw only two people inside: the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "A simple matter brings double happiness."

The two kept their private conversation away from the ninjas, and the Fire Country Daimyo had no guardian ninjas by his side.

The daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools is saying something:

"My lord, I am very old, over eighty years old. I originally thought I would never leave Kyoto, the capital of Uzushioka Province."

But the changes that have occurred in Konoha Village make my heart pound.

I found out that they created some kind of teleportation shrine, which is based on the forbidden Flying Thunder God technique of Konoha Village, allowing others to teleport using the Flying Thunder God's power.

I was able to come here today thanks to the teleportation shrine.

I was teleported from Kyoto in the Land of Whirlpools to Konoha Village, and then from Konoha Village I came here, saving more than half the journey.

Those ninjas not only refuse to share this good stuff with us nobles, but they also want to change the system of protecting ninjas.

Their ambitions are too grand; they want ninjas to appear freely in all towns, eliminating distance limitations and controlling every town.

Konoha doesn't need nobles to keep the country running; they can do everything. So what are we supposed to do now?

The daimyo of the Land of Fire has a voice like a male duck; he played with too many maids when he was young, which damaged his health.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I contacted Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage of Konoha."

He promised me that he would not change the pattern of "one village, one country".

Hiruzen Sarutobi will deal with those ambitious ninjas in Konoha who are shouting for reform.

You need not worry, Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools. After the Fourth Shinobi World War ends, I will personally go to Konoha to ensure that Konoha does not cause any trouble.

The system of "one country, one village" was established by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who stipulated that the ninjas should simply serve as weapons for the Land of Fire.

"Let us nobles rule the country."

"Yes," said the daimyo of Uzushinobi.
"Konoha Village is just too strong, so strong that it requires the other major ninja villages to join forces to deal with it."

"Is a Konoha village that's too strong not in our interests?"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire did not directly address this topic, but instead said:
"Ninjas are skilled at assassination, but they are also afraid of assassination."

Most of the time, ninjas stay within Konoha Village and rarely wander around the Land of Fire when they are not on missions.

Ninjas rarely leave Konoha Village; this is the foundation of the existence of a single village within a single country.

The teleportation shrine has a great impact on the ninja world, we…”

Before he could finish speaking, the tip of a kunai emerged from the daimyo's chest.

The four-sided blade tip resembled a small pyramid, gleaming with blood.

When the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools saw the kunai, he was terrified and tried to get up to call for the guardian ninja. However, a four-edged kunai also emerged from his chest.

The kunai pierced his back, penetrating his heart, and then emerged from between his ribs in his chest. The two daimyo stared at each other in horror, never expecting the ninja to be even more extreme than they had imagined, going straight for the kill.

Perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi's promise was merely a delaying tactic...

Aries showed no signs of sleepiness, keeping his eyes fixed on the Sky Keep.

Suddenly, the fox appeared and blocked the window.

"Aries, the battle at Tenshu Castle is over. Take my Flying Thunder God Kunai and return to the village. Keep an eye on the village for me. I'm going back to the front lines now."

Aries took the Flying Thunder God Kunai, thinking to himself that this would make him feel safer.

I wanted to ask something more, but then I realized that Lord Fox had disappeared.

Aries waited a little while, and then heard the sharp alarm bell.

The daimyo is dead. The person Lord Fox wanted to kill was indeed the daimyo.

Even with Lord Fox's strength, the guardian ninjas don't know who the culprit is.

Chaos reigned within the castle tower.

Captain Sarutobi Shizutomo, the guardian ninja captain, stood outside the palace gate with a grim expression, looking at the two corpses on the floor and the bloodstains beside them.

The blood has flowed out and is now in a semi-dried state.

The guardian ninjas kept coming to report, but neither the Hyuga guardian ninjas nor the Inuzuka guardian ninjas could find any clues.

The eldest son of the daimyo, the prince, rushed to the daimyo's palace.

"Captain Jingfei! Who is it! Haven't they found the culprit yet?"

Sarutobi Shizutomo said, "The daimyo and the daimyo of Uzu no Kyoto have important matters to discuss and they forbid us from approaching the guards."

The guardian ninja and I stood on the palace wall, unaware of the details inside.

The killer was extremely skilled, possessing top-tier infiltration ninjutsu in the ninja world. Even techniques like the Byakugan and ninja dogs failed to detect him.

"I don't want to hear your explanation!" the prince said angrily.
"Two daimyo died deep within the heavily guarded castle tower. Shouldn't the Kyoto castle tower be the safest place in the ninja world, apart from Konoha Village?"

The murderer must be found, defenses must be upgraded, and the safety of the daimyo family and nobles must be guaranteed!

Sarutobi Shizutomo had already failed in her duty, so she didn't offer any rebuttal at this point.

"This matter is too important. I will inform the Hokage and ask him to make a decision."

"Of course the Hokage should come in person! Everyone says that Konoha Village is getting stronger and stronger, but I think Konoha Village is just bluffing. Why can't you even defend a castle properly?"

After the guardian ninja Hyuga Maki and the other princes had walked a distance, he said to Sarutobi Shizutomo:

"Captain, since the birth of this prince, our Konoha has been protecting the Daimyo family."

Does this idiot take this kind of protection for granted?

"Don't be rude! That's the future daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

After being reprimanded, Hinata Masashi was very dissatisfied.

As far as he knew, Lord Fox wanted to abolish the Guardian Ninja system and directly control the Land of Fire using teleportation shrines, instead of indirectly controlling it through daimyo and nobles.

He'd had enough of being a guardian ninja, stuck in this castle all day, on duty day and night.

Who exactly killed the two daimyo?
As the Fourth Shinobi World War raged on, those who couldn't deal with Konoha Village or the troops on the front lines picked on the weaker ones, targeting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and attacking Konoha's supplies.

Sarutobi Shizutobi said, "Quickly inform the Hokage! Please make a decision, Hokage!"

It's a pity that there's no teleportation shrine for Lord Fox in the Land of Fire's capital, otherwise the message could have been sent back immediately.

I've heard there's a teleportation shrine at the front lines of the Land of Hot Springs. Use the village's teleportation shrine as soon as possible to deliver the bad news to the Hokage.
