On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

Looking at the crackling electricity in his hand, Kakashi came up with a plan.

When using Chidori, the lightning chakra activates the fighting cells in his body, drastically increasing his speed.

This used to be Chidori's only weakness, because his speed was so fast that his eyesight couldn't keep up, which might cause him to hit the wrong target.

But now that he has the Sharingan, this weakness has instantly disappeared and turned into a strength.

Moreover, he learned a martial art called Shaving.

If he could combine Shave and Chidori, his short-range burst speed would be greatly enhanced.

However, he only learned how to shave yesterday, and Kakashi wasn't entirely confident that he could combine the two techniques.

But this situation left him no time to think about it.

As massive fireballs rained down, Kakashi transformed into a flash of blue light, attempting to escape the range of Morning Peacock's bombardment.

Boom boom boom!!!

The rapidly descending fireball soon landed on the training field.

Explosions came one after another, one after another.

At a glance, large swathes of flat land had been turned into pits and craters, covered with scorched black marks.

"You lost." Kakashi released Chidori from his hand and gently punched Might Guy in the chest.

Matt Kai wasn't discouraged. He laughed twice, scratched his head, and said:

"As expected of my eternal rival, Kakashi, you broke through my painstakingly devised technique so easily. However, this technique is only half-finished. It will definitely be stronger when it is fully completed."

Kakashi gave a wry smile. Easily solved? Sensing the burning sensation of his left hand hidden behind him, he said earnestly, "I believe you."

This was the first time he had used both the Shave and Chidori techniques together, and his movements were still not smooth, so he did not completely break out of the Morning Peacock's bombardment zone. He forcibly blocked a fireball with his left hand, which was imbued with chakra.

"What an exhilarating battle! I feel like my youth has been reignited. After such a crushing defeat, I'll double my training from now on!" Might Guy raised his arm to cheer himself on.

Seeing this, Yongze left immediately.

Now that Kakashi has mastered the Shave technique and can even use it in combination with Chidori, he no longer needs to stay here; his objective has been achieved.

He only had one paper drawing technique left to create, so he went back and created it, then handed the remaining five techniques to Kakashi when doing the mission.

……

……

Two days later.

ANBU base.

Yongze and the three of them explained their mission again, and then said, "The mission is a top-rank S-class mission, which is very dangerous. If anyone doesn't want to go, I won't force them. Is there anyone among you who doesn't want to go?"

All three of them shook their heads. Yongze had told them three days ago that if they were going to give up, they should have given up long ago. How could they only give up now?

Moreover, the ninja world is very cruel. Apart from the D-rank missions given to genin, every mission carries a certain degree of risk, just to varying degrees.

At the same time, they are willing to believe in Yongze's strength, and also believe in their own strength.

They're only going to steal information from small ninja villages. If it were a village from one of the Five Great Nations, they might have to think twice.

Nagasawa nodded in satisfaction, then smiled and said, "Very good, Anbu Squad 7, let's go!"

All four put on their ANBU masks, quickly left the ANBU base, then exited the village, and ran directly northwest, towards the Land of Grass...

Chapter Fourteen: The most perfect infiltration requires only the simplest method.

"We're almost there." Midori Inuzuka sighed as she looked at the town in the distance.

Yongze glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say you were physically strong and wanted me to teach you domineering techniques in advance? Are you already tired?"

Inuzuka Midori chuckled twice and said, "It's not that I'm tired, it's just that traveling is too boring."

As they approached the Hidden Grass Village, the four of them changed their clothes and stopped wearing their Anbu uniforms.

After all, they're not stupid. Walking around in other countries and ninja villages wearing ANBU uniforms would be tantamount to inviting others to arrest them.

After observing for a while, Nagasawa discovered that the Grass Ninja Village did not have a barrier that covered the entire village like the Leaf Village.

So he led the three of them and slipped in through a secluded corner.

Although ninja villages are called villages, they are actually the size of towns. Even Konoha cannot have ninjas guarding every place; they can only rely on barriers. This is even more true for the grass ninjas.

Therefore, Nagasawa and his team's infiltration went very smoothly, without encountering any obstacles.

"Is the Grass Ninja Village really this dilapidated?" Inuzuka Midori asked, looking at the somewhat run-down houses around her.

Before Yongze could explain, Yanshui said, "Firstly, it's related to the place we entered, and secondly, it's because of the war. Not long ago, this place was a battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure."

Nagasawa tapped Inuzuka Midori's head with two fingers together: "Look at how well you know nothing about Salt Water."

Inuzuka Midori proudly puffed out her chest and said, "All I know is how to fight. Thinking about those things is too much of a headache. Just tell me who to fight."

Yongze was speechless. How could he proudly say that he had no brains and only knew how to fight? The little girl was quite cute, but unfortunately, she had a mouth that could talk.

"Kakashi still has salt water, so keep a close eye on her and don't let her get away with it," Nagasawa instructed.

If he gets exposed, he'll have no choice but to steal it by force; after all, no one in the Grass Ninja Village should be able to defeat him.

The perfect infiltration is to kill everyone who sees you, which is the same as no one seeing you.

Kakashi and Salt Water both nodded; clearly, they also knew that this teammate wasn't very reliable.

Yongze looked at the sky; the sun was blazing, it was only early afternoon, so he spoke:

“We will split into three teams to investigate. Kakashi and I will be on a separate team, while you and Midori will be on another team.”

There was a reason why Yongze made this arrangement.

First of all, with his strength, let alone infiltrating, no one could stop him even if he forced his way in. He could come and go easily, so he could easily work alone in a group.

Kakashi was promoted to Jonin during last year's war and also obtained the Sharingan. His strength is not weak among Jonin, and he can easily lead a team on his own.

While Salt Water possesses sufficient intelligence, it lacks formidable physical strength, while Inuzuka Midori, though reasonably strong, is not particularly bright. Therefore, the two teaming up perfectly complement each other's weaknesses.

"I'll go find the Grass Ninja Anbu base. Kakashi will gather information on the attitudes of ordinary Grass Ninja towards the war. Salt Water and Midori, you two try to gather information on the three Grass Ninja who were captured."

"Come here to meet when it gets dark."

"If you are discovered, make as much noise as possible, and I will come to rescue you."

All three nodded, having no objection to Nagasawa's arrangements. Thus, the four split into three teams and began their respective journeys through the Grass Ninja.

……

……

Nagasawa used his transformation technique to become an ordinary middle-aged man and walked through the Grass Ninja Village.

There was no way around it; his handsome face was just too eye-catching. If the female ninja discovered him and tried to take him away for a clap, he would be in big trouble.

Boys need to take good care of themselves when they're out.

Walking along the streets of Kusagakure, Nagasawa subtly observed the surrounding buildings.

Because he had been hiding his tracks all along, he had never left Konoha except when he was forcibly conscripted to the battlefield, let alone entered other ninja villages.

So this task was a new experience for him.

He was surprised to find that the Grass Ninja were actually learning from the Leaf Village quite well.

Not only were there ninja academies and Kusagakure ANBU, but he also saw Kusagakure Hospital, which was quite large and looked very professional.

This surprised him somewhat, as medical ninjas were a scarce resource. Apart from Konoha, virtually no other ninja village could systematically train medical ninjas.

Because of Tsunade's suggestion, Konoha established a comprehensive medical ninja system early on. During wartime, medical ninjas could be assigned to every ninja team, which was impossible in other ninja villages.

It was quite surprising to Nagasawa that such a small ninja village as Kusagakure had a hospital that looked quite decent.

If his mission hadn't been to steal information from the Anbu, he would have liked to visit the Kusanagi Ninja hospital.

As Nagasawa walked toward the deserted, desolate place, he used his Observation Haki to sense the presence of ninjas.

Based on Konoha's experience, the Anbu are usually built in the desolate outskirts of the village, similar to the places they entered.

However, when he entered, he sensed that there were no ninjas gathered there; he only sensed ordinary people.

After a thorough search, Nagasawa finally found a hidden underground spot west of Kusagakure where many ninjas were reacting.

The western part of Kusagakure is lower than the eastern part, and it is the lower reaches of the river, where large forests grow and few people come.

Above the Kusanagi Anbu is a typical Kusanagi-style courtyard.

Nagasawa sensed that there were very few people upstairs, only two Kusanagi ninjas with Chunin-level strength guarding the entrance.

Perhaps they felt that the ninjas in the Anbu were stronger, so they didn't need to be strictly guarded?

Yongze leaped lightly and silently entered the courtyard.

Just as he was about to enter the underground ANBU, his Observation Haki suddenly detected that a ninja with considerable aura was rushing up.

Yongze withdrew from the room, lightly leaped onto the roof, and waited quietly.

Not long after, a Grass Ninja Anbu member wearing a Grass Ninja Anbu uniform came out. As he walked out of the gate, two Anbu members at the door respectfully greeted him, saying, "Lord Morishita."

The ANBU ninja addressed as "Lord Morishita" didn't speak, but simply nodded and left the courtyard.

Yongze thought for a moment, then lightly leaped up and followed.

He thought that finding information wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time; it might take several days or even longer. He might as well get a secret identity.

That Lord Morishita seems to have some status; he should be able to freely enter and leave the Anbu.

If we kill him, and then use a transformation spell to infiltrate his appearance, the search should be much easier.

If his position were high enough, he might be able to directly access the information and have the Grass Ninja Anbu complete the mission for him.

Yongze thought this had potential and was worth a try.

Chapter Fifteen: Dislikes War, But Has No Other Choice

Nagasawa did not act immediately, but chose to follow "Lord Morishita" and observe him continuously.

Yongze is not a mountain tribe, so he does not have the ability to directly and violently acquire memories.
