Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 66 The Death of Senju Kapok

The Hyuga ninjas of the Rat Squadron spotted a target three kilometers away: Senju Kasaya.

"Squad leader! Target spotted!"

The rat squad leader's eyes behind his mask were sharp: "We're only a few kilometers from the command post. We can't attract the attention of the Thousand Hands Rope Tree. We must stop the Thousand Hands Cypress!"

The three squads of the Rat Squad rushed towards the Thousand-Handed Cypress.

Pursuers were in front, and ambushes were behind.

Thousand-Hand Cypress took out a secret medicine.

This is a secret medicine from the Akimichi clan, given to me by a former Akimichi clan member before his sacrifice.

After consuming the secret medicine, one can burn flesh and blood to transform into a large amount of chakra, but if not controlled properly, one may die from excessive chakra extraction.

With no more reservations, Senju Hashira swallowed the chili ball as if facing certain death.

Every cell in his body was groaning as he squeezed out all of his body's potential.

With his chakra surging, he used his last ninjutsu before the ANBU rushed around him.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!"

Suddenly, a large amount of water appeared beside the Thousand-Hand Cypress, like a fountain.

The rat squad leader, who had already rushed close, was somewhat surprised. Thousand Hands Cypress was much stronger than the intelligence indicated, and he quickly prepared his defenses.

He was no match for that level of water-based magic.

At the same time, the rat squad leader did not back down. Even if he died, he could not let the Thousand Hands Cypress get close to the front-line command post.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

An earthen wall stood in front of the rat squad leader.

He saw that Captain Yellow Dog had already appeared in his field of vision in the distance behind Thousand Hands Cypress.

However, Senju Kasakabe's Water Release technique was not effective against Captain Rat.

The water jet shot straight into the sky.

The water dragon's body exhibited a very slight bend and tremor, almost shooting straight into the sky.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the blue water column was particularly eye-catching.

The Yellow Dog Captain was still two hundred meters away from the Thousand-Hand Cypress, but he felt uneasy.

"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"

A huge fireball, spanning over two hundred meters, hurtled towards the water dragon bullet in mid-air.

Ye Guang secretly clicked his tongue in amazement; the level of fire-style technique and the attack range were truly astonishing.

The fireball was a fraction too slow and struck the lower half of the water dragon bullet.

After the water jets were launched into the air, they suddenly deformed and exploded in all directions.

Several small water dragons dispersed and transformed into a thousand-armed clan emblem in the air!
Even with Captain Yellow Dog's composure, he froze on the spot, sensing something was wrong.

The others continued to rush towards the towering water dragon.

Inside the command post, Senju Nawaki, who was sparring with Orochimaru, turned his head in confusion.

He saw the thousand-armed emblem in the sky!

"That's a distress signal from the Senju clan! Enemy attack! Iwa ninja have reached the vicinity of the camp!"

As soon as Rope Tree finished speaking, he jumped up and disappeared using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

Orochimaru was puzzled. Even if it was an enemy attack, why not use Konoha's universal distress signal flare? Why use this obscure Senju clan distress signal?
Since the founding of Konoha Village, the Senju clan has not sent any distress signals for decades.

Following the principle of training Nawaki, Orochimaru stayed at a distance from him.

Nawaki is a genius, and Orochimaru wanted Nawaki to make his own judgments and decisions from the very beginning of his career as a ninja.

What he had to do was to help Nawaki analyze the situation when Nawaki occasionally made a mistake.

If you give instructions in everything, you will not be able to cultivate disciples who surpass you.

Not only did Nawaki leave the camp, but the other Senju clan ninjas on the front lines also rushed out in a hurry.

Looking at the Senju clan emblem formed by water escape techniques in the air, Captain Yellow Dog turned to the fox and said, "Fox! You take your squad to find the Senju Nawaki who is rushing here. Don't stop him for now, just monitor him!"

Ye Guang nodded and led his team away.

After Thousand Hands Cypress finished doing all this, he let the water escape fall, and within a radius of several dozen meters around him, it was as if a flood had occurred.

Thousand-handed Cypress himself was also submerged by water escape.

Amidst the ripples of water, Rat's ninja sword pierced Senju Kasaya's chest.

Even the rat captain himself was a little surprised. Why was it so simple?
Once the water escape technique completely disappeared, he saw Thousand-Handed Cypress, his body riddled with ruptured blood vessels, emaciated like a skeleton. His skin, stretched taut by the blood vessels and clinging to his bones, made Thousand-Handed Cypress look neither human nor ghost.

A minute or two later, the Konoha ninja from the front-line camp arrived and saw many Konoha ANBU members, as well as a corpse on the ground.

Senju Nawaki stepped forward and stared at the corpse.

The corpse wore a Mist Ninja headband, and its entire body was charred by Fire Release techniques, turning it into an oval shape.

Seeing the puzzled look in Senju Nawaki's eyes, Captain Yellow Dog said:

"The Anbu are hunting down a Mist Ninja spy who is skilled in Water Release techniques."

We also extracted a distress signal from a Senju ninja during interrogation. He attempted to sabotage the Konoha camp, but we've already killed him.

Senju Nawaki didn't say anything, but he was somewhat skeptical.

The explanation from the Dark Division was plausible, but Nawaki still felt something was off.

After hesitating for a moment, the Thousand Hands ninjas from the front-line camp left.

Ye Guang found Captain Huang Quan and said, "Captain, we haven't seen anyone on the road to the Thousand Hands Rope Tree, and nothing has happened."

Captain Yellow Dog breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good, the mission is finally over."

Ye Guang thought to himself, "That's wonderful."

However, it would be great if you could relax, Yellow Dog.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged ninja from the Senju clan was dispatched to reinforce the patrol due to the chaos.

He paused suddenly as he passed a tree.

There's a symbol on that tree; it's a special symbol connecting the Senju and Uzumaki clans!

The middle-aged ninja had only heard his father mention those symbols before the village was founded; they were a style from the Warring States period.

That coded system is only used when the Uzumaki clan contacts the Senju clan.

He walked towards the tree, bent down, and found a scroll under the cipher.

Judging from the crooked state of the grass around the scroll, he determined that the scroll had been left there for at least two days.

who is it?

Wasn't the Vortex clan wiped out?
Who placed the scroll here two days in advance?

The village said that only one member of the Uzumaki clan remained, Uzumaki Kushina.

The Thousand Hands ninja's pupils dilated in shock as he picked up the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it.

what?
This scroll says...
The Thousand Hands Ninja quickly closed the scroll, feeling dizzy from lack of oxygen in his brain.

Konoha Village knew about the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan long ago, and was even involved in it?

The reason why the Uzumaki clan was caught off guard and the whole village did not even have a chance to escape was because the Konoha Anbu leaked all of Uzumaki Village's reconnaissance points on the coast to Kirigakure in advance.

Was the rescue of Princess Whirlpool by the Dark Side just a performance?
Is everything for Konoha Village to have a new vessel for the Nine-Tails?

As he calmed his breathing, the Senju ninja suddenly remembered the young clan leader.

A fire-escape technique was used, burning the scroll.

He stomped hard on the tree trunk, knocking out the coded messages from the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

Despite being over 40 years old and having a wealth of experience, he remained calm.

He patiently waited until the patrol mission ended, then returned to the camp as if nothing had happened.

If he makes it public knowledge, the Senju clan will immediately have to break with the village.

The Konoha civil war, occurring at a crucial time in the Fourth Shinobi World War, could lead to catastrophic consequences.

The village is the culmination of the First and Second Hokage's efforts. Others may be able to destroy Konoha, but the Senju clan cannot.

He decided to report to Princess Tsunade or Young Master Nawaki first.

Princess Tsunade has gone on a mission and is not on the front lines. You can contact Nawaki-sama first.

Several days later, the Yellow Dog Squad was on its way back to Konoha.

A communications eagle suddenly flew across the sky.

Standing on the tree trunk, the yellow dog captain felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.

The communications eagle swooped down and delivered a scroll.

From a distance, Ye Guang saw that a large amount of cold sweat instantly poured down under the mask of Captain Yellow Dog.
