Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 88 The Closest to Death

The thought of having to endure this for a whole month gave Ye Guang a headache.

A loud bark echoed through the rainy night.

The Split Dog is coming.

Nightlight feigned a question to Aries: "What happened?"

Aries quickly said:
"Three Konoha ninjas, carrying three prisoners, including a child, are running this way."

Following the Konoha ninja is a large summoning beast, the Split Dog, which was once the guardian summoning beast of Uzushiogakure.

Time is running out for the luminous substance.

Madara Uchiha was inside the mountain a few kilometers behind.

If he were to encounter Madara Uchiha again, Madara would have a hundred ways to kill him.

"Let's go! No matter who it is in Konoha, we can't stand idly by."

Yagami wanted to save Nagato Uzumaki, but didn't want to face Madara Uchiha. The best way was to stop Nagato as soon as possible.

The light was moving quickly, and being far away from Uchiha Madara behind him made him feel much safer.

Upon seeing the three Konoha ninjas, Yagami quickly said:
"The three Konoha ninjas are very likely under the influence of genjutsu; their eyes look strange!"
You stop the three from our village, I'll go stop the Split Dog.

Aries was about to report that the chakra flow within the three Konoha ninjas was strange, but he didn't expect the captain to figure it out so quickly.

The captain is really perceptive; no wonder he's a veteran squad leader who has survived more than half a year in the Dark Division.

With a powerful leap, Ye Guang jumped high above the three Konoha ninjas, appearing between them and the Split Dog.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

A massive wall of water shot into the sky, blocking the Split Dog.

Above the Split Dog's head, the vortex of Yu Jia's eyes showed surprise as he recognized the familiar fox!
She quickly told the split dog to back away, pretending to be afraid of the fox, and stepped back first.

Judging from the fox's appearance, Yu Jia seemed to have become the captain of one of the three squads.

I never imagined Fox would be so successful as a spy, becoming a captain in the secret service. I remember the first time I met Fox, he was just a low-ranking member of the secret service.

More than half a year has passed, and Fox has become a backbone of the Dark Division, enabling him to obtain more intelligence.

I heard that something big happened in Konoha Village, that Lady Mito passed away. Yuka really wants to ask about the Nine-Tails seal and how Princess Kushina is doing.

However, this is not the time to reminisce or inquire about information.

The three squads then rushed towards the three Konoha ninjas, trying to dispel the genjutsu.

These three Konoha ninjas are very strong; one is a Jonin and the other two are Special Jonin.

After several exchanges, Purple Cat immediately realized the key: "They are protecting the prisoners behind them!"

The three men valued the prisoners more than their own lives.

The fight between Ye Guang and the Split Dog looked intense, with water-style attacks shooting straight into the air and earth spears spreading like a dense forest of thorns. In reality, most of their attacks missed.

Taking advantage of the water escape technique to conceal her figure, Nightlight gave Uzumaki Yuka a hand signal, telling her to leave quickly.

Yuga trusted the fox completely and, without any unnecessary actions, simply commanded the split dog to leave.

After the Split Dog left, Nightlight arrived at the rear of the battlefield.

He approached Aries and asked, "Aries, can you figure out what kind of illusion it is?"

Aries said:
"I can't tell what kind of illusion it is. Most illusions have a fixed effect, either binding or hypnotizing."

The illusions used by these three individuals were more like a direct psychological suggestion created through their eye techniques, compelling the three Konoha ninjas to achieve a certain goal.

Judging from their willingness to risk injury to protect the prisoners, the illusion hinted at the transportation of prisoners.

Time is of the essence; we're too close to Madara Uchiha here. Nightlight glanced at Nagato Uzumaki. If they could capture Nagato and get away from Madara, there might be a glimmer of hope.

If we can snatch Nagato Uzumaki here, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan will rot inside his eye socket, and the ninja world will end prematurely!

Nightlight rushed towards Nagato Uzumaki. He shouted to the Leaf Monkey squad beside Nagato, "Hold them off! I'll handle them!"

"Yes, sir!"

Nightlight observed Nagato Uzumaki, who was unconscious. There were two ropes around his armpits and waist, tightly binding him to the Konoha Jonin.

"team leader!"

The purple cat cried out, its voice filled with shock!
As the fox passed by, the leaf monkey suddenly stepped forward and stabbed at Nightlight's back!
Hearing the sound of wind breaking behind him, Ye Guang instinctively moved sideways to avoid it.

It was that crucial half-step that saved his life.

Ye Guang looked down and was shocked to see the tip of the ninja sword piercing out from his left shoulder!

His adrenaline surged, and he felt no pain, only an unusually hot sensation in his left shoulder.

He quickly formed hand seals and released the only ninjutsu that could attack behind him: Earth Spear.

Two earthen spears thrust out, piercing through the leaf monkey behind him.

Purple Cat used the Mind Transfer Technique at the same time, and she discovered that there were two souls in the leaf monkey's brain!

A hundred miles away, Kato Dan suddenly woke up in a cave.

A guard ninja standing nearby asked, "Well, Dan, did you find the Rain Ninja?"

Kato Dan shook his head and lied: "No, we didn't find any Rain Ninjas, we only found some Rain Country rogue ninjas who were dissatisfied with Hanzo."

Only he and Chief Huamu knew about the attack on the Dark Guard; he couldn't tell the two guards beside him.

The guard said:
"Hanzo was strict in managing his subordinates. It is said that no one was allowed to get within ten meters of him, otherwise the leaked poison gas could kill people."

Lacking trusted confidants and with poor control, relying solely on personal strength for deterrence, they are plagued by rogue ninja groups everywhere.

Kato leaned against the wall thoughtfully, regretting that he hadn't found any clues on the leaf monkey ninja.

The leaf monkey participated in the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox's transfer and sealing, but knew nothing about the truth; all orders came from the squad leader, the fox.

In the Fox Squadron, the foxes are quite strong. The two squad leaders, Purple Cat and White Sheep, are from the Yamanaka Clan and the Hyuga Clan, respectively, and both have strong mental strength.

As his soul floated in mid-air, he noticed that the fox captain's soul was exceptionally powerful, twice the strength of an ordinary soul.

Chief Huamu said that there were spies from the Whirlpool Clan in the Dark Division, and only after confirming that Captain Fox was not a Whirlpool Clan spy could he be killed.

On the battlefield, cold sweat dripped down Ye Guang's forehead: "Smoke grenade!"

Everything was in chaos, everything was in chaos. The leaf monkey suddenly attacked him, and he injured his left shoulder.

Using the smoke grenade as cover, Ye Guang quickly jumped up and fled.

There are still powerful enemies lurking in the shadows, so there's nothing that can be done about Nagato for the time being.

The three Konoha ninjas' objective was to capture Nagato Uzumaki, ignoring the retreating Anbu.

After disengaging from the battle, Ye Guang said, "Head west! Find a place to shelter from the rain! Let me recuperate in peace!"

Madara Uchiha's cave is to the east; you must stay as far away from Madara Uchiha as possible.

His current physique combines the bloodlines of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, giving him exceptional physical strength. Given the opportunity to rest, his shoulder injury can be healed thanks to the Senju clan's slow self-healing ability.

After finding a cave, Purple Cat treated and bandaged Nightlight's wounds.

This was the closest Ye Guang came to real death; if he hadn't dodged at the last moment, the langur's sneak attack would have pierced his heart directly.
