Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 8 Danzo was in his prime

The hidden village of Wochao is nestled among the mountains and divided into north and south sections by a large river.

What shocked Ye Guang was the moving mountain behind the Hidden Tide Village!
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was an enormous tortoise, as large as a small mountain.

Whirlpool, perched on the back of Luminous Light and nestled against its ear, explained:
"That is our village's guardian spirit beast, Lord Spirit Turtle."

The Uzumaki clan is skilled in sealing techniques. During the Warring States period, they sealed monsters for various daimyo and nobles, thus accumulating a large number of summoned beasts.

There are also many underwater spirit beasts in the middle of the great river.

Our team's mission this time was to seal away a large, rampaging ninja beast in the Land of Waves, but we were targeted by the Cloud Ninja and failed.

A loud bird song reverberated overhead.

Looking up, Ye Guang saw the summoning beast he had seen in the original work: Nagato's three-legged, giant-beaked Yatagarasu.

So that's how it is. This is the correct way to use sealing techniques.

Seal powerful summoned beasts to aid you in battle.

But why doesn't the Uzumaki clan create a tailed beast for themselves?

With powerful sealing techniques, combined with tailed beasts, wouldn't it be possible to create the perfect Jinchuriki?

A ninja from the Uzumaki clan arrived at the village entrance and took Uzumaki Yuka to the hospital.

Yuga looked at the fox with lingering eyes one last time.

It's a pity that I only remember the sound of the fox, but I don't know what the fox is called.

When we get back, we need to find out who the Senju clan's spy is in the Dark Division.

In the past, the Anbu were under the command of Lord Tobirama, so this wouldn't have been so troublesome.

I heard that after Hiruzen Sarutobi took over, he first carried out a brutal purge of the Anbu, replacing them with a large number of new recruits and eliminating many of Tobirama's subordinates.

The Antelope Squad ventured deep into the Whirlpool Village and arrived at the village chief's building.

Above the village chief's building is a huge vortex clan emblem, the same as the badge on the back of a Konoha ninja vest.

After waiting for a long time, a group of people walked over from a distance.

The leader was Danzo, followed by his assistant.

At this time, Danzo was in his prime, with his eyes and arms intact and showing no signs of abnormality.

The crisscrossing scars on his chin, combined with his extremely small pupils and his sclera-covered eyes, gave him an unusually sinister look.

Those glaring eyes, with their whites all over the face, were frightening.

Danzo walked up to the village chief's building, followed by the battalion commander and his assistant advisor. The squad leader, the antelope captain, and other squad leaders stood guard downstairs.

Ordinary dark areas, such as those with luminescence, disappear into the woods behind the village chief's building.

Ye Guang stood in the tree with Jiao Niu, watching the back of the village chief's building, always on guard against anyone who might harm Danzo.

Danzo was both a high-ranking advisor and the head of the Dark Bureau, holding an extremely high position.

There was no communication between the luminous creatures and the horned bulls, and no communication among all the dark-clad beings; everyone was like a machine.

After an unknown amount of time, Danzo came downstairs and, with his assistant, headed out of Uzushiogakure.

It's unclear what Danzo and the Uzumaki clan chief discussed, but Danzo looked grim, as if things hadn't gone smoothly.

Danzo's gaze wandered, as if he were deep in thought.

The battalion commander assigns tasks to the company commander, and the company commander assigns tasks to the squad leader.

Captain Antelope found the fox and the horned bull, and led them north.

Captain Antelope revealed that they were heading to the Land of Waves.

Ye Guang didn't know what the mission entailed, so he guessed wildly that perhaps it was to investigate the Cloud Ninjas that had appeared in the Land of Waves.

The main battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure was on the northern border of the Land of Hot Springs. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many Kumogakure ninja in the Land of Waves.

This was during the Second Shinobi World War, and every village was on high alert. It was impossible to send out so many extra people; if they were to be sent, it must be for something big.

Captain Antelope got a boat by the sea, and the three of them used transformation magic to disguise themselves as fishermen and rowed north to the Land of Waves.

The light transformed into a dark-skinned boy.

He leaned over the side of the boat, trying to see if he looked like his past self through the reflection of the seawater.

The ship's side stirred up white waves, obscuring everything.

Rowing was tiring, so the Antelope Team gathered information on nearby fishing boats and searched for suspicious vessels at sea.

For Ye Guang, rowing was quite nice; the speed was slow, and before he knew it, several days had passed.

More than ten days had passed by the time they reached the shore. Nightlight awaited another full moon, finally having a new chance to revive.

I can barely eat any more of those military rations.

The captain forbade grilling sea fish, and Ye Guang didn't know which sea fish could be eaten raw, so he had to keep eating soldier's rations.

Soldier's ration pills won't starve you, but they don't make you feel full at all. Your stomach feels empty for a long time, and it cramps and aches.

After landing on the land of the Land of Waves, the squad reverted to their Anbu (Anbu) appearance and disappeared into the coconut grove on the shore.

Nightlight estimated that the Dark Division was conducting a thorough search, and their team had been circling around one area.

Seven days later, Captain Antelope found signs of a fight.

There were no corpses on the ground, and the soil was blackish-red. Judging from the blood-stained soil, the battle had taken place within two days.

In addition, there were scattered kunai and ninja swords in the grass.

The ninja sword is the standard long sword of the Cloud Ninja.

Captain Antelope said, "Everyone should pick up a Cloud Ninja longsword to disguise themselves as Cloud Ninjas."

Ye Guang picked up a knife and carefully wiped away the bloodstains on it.

He disguised himself as a Yunren (a member of the Yunren clan) to do bad things, so that he could frame the Yunren for the crime.

Centering on the traces of the fight, the Antelope Squad began searching for the enemy.

During the search, Ye Guang sighed, no wonder Kakashi made almost no progress in his ten years in the Anbu.

Carrying out covert missions took up all my time, leaving no time for training.

Most missions involve traveling, searching, and infiltrating, which is very time-consuming.

Just like in their previous lives, leaders possess a kind of insensitivity that disregards the lives of their subordinates.

He once thought that he could make a name for himself in the ninja world through his own extraordinary efforts and comprehension.

Don't give him that chance.

Captain Antelope, with his extensive experience, found many clues and tracked the suspects down to a fishing village.

In the fishing village at night, most of the fishermen's homes have their lights on.

Captain Antelope pointed to a dark room and waved.

Nightlight and Horned Bull stealthily approached the wooden house from two directions.

To prevent moisture and dampness, the wooden houses by the sea have an elevated ground floor, making it very convenient to crawl in from the bottom.

The horned bull on the other side suddenly wiped its face.

Having studied some architectural knowledge in his previous life, Ye Guang deduced that the side with the small window might be the toilet, so he chose the other side of the large window early on.

Poor horned ox, I wish it were just water falling on your face.

If it's free flight, you'll have to hold back; this is a mission.

Ye Guang lay prone under the floorboards, his ear pressed against the floor, listening to the sounds coming from above.

A knife suddenly stabbed down from the floor!

Fortunately, Ye Guang was alert enough to dodge the attack.

The knife grazed the scalp, severing a lock of Yeguang's hair.

The ninja sword is very long and exceptionally sharp; it is clearly a standard-issue ninja sword of the Cloud Ninja.

The battle breaks out instantly!

The sound of footsteps echoed from the wooden floor.

Enraged, the bull stuck explosive tags directly under the floorboards.

Ye Guang cursed under his breath, "Damn it, the elevated floor is so low, it'll take some time to crawl out."

In a confined space, the shockwave from an explosion is so concentrated that it makes one more susceptible to injury.
