Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

Copper Fox is not only incredibly strong, but also has a clear mind and thinks much faster than her.

Ye Guang turned to look at Nara Meika, hoping that Nara Meika would quickly acknowledge his judgment and return as soon as possible.

It's too dangerous deep in the Land of Wind.

He first saw a pair of delicate, bright eyes filled with admiration.

Ye Guang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.

The smarter a woman is, the more she admires strength.

In this life, he found Nara Meika three days earlier than in the previous life, bringing Nara Meika a great sense of security.

More importantly, Nightlight discovered the movements of Sunagakure early on.

As an elite member of the Nara clan, Nara Meika had never been so surprised by a man as she was today.

Within the clan, apart from the clan leader and other elders, she viewed everyone with a degree of scrutiny, and no man could win her heart.

Only then did she realize that the truly outstanding men had all been given to the village.

If she hadn't encountered the Bronze Fox during this mission, she wouldn't have known there was such a powerful person in the village.

Both his strength and analytical ability are admirable.

Ye Guang said, "Let's go! Let's get back to the camp as soon as possible, notify the command, and make preparations as soon as possible."

In her previous life, she was caught by the sensory ninjas of Sunagakure. In this life, after Yagami persuaded Nara Meika, she immediately fled far away.

As night fell, three paragliders took off, flew above the clouds, and headed towards the land of rivers.

On their way back, they encountered the Sand Ninja's paraglider again.

Nara Baika was anxious as she noticed that the Sand Ninja's paragliders were becoming more and more standard.

She looked down at the low clouds below, carefully checking for any shadows. If there were shadows, she could use her shadow magic to join the battle.

However, her anxiety was unnecessary.

From the side and front, the bronze fox used a ninjutsu.

A high-speed water jet shot out, slicing through a Sand Ninja's paraglider from top to bottom, cutting through two Sand Ninja beneath it, and also slicing through the clouds below.

Nara Umeka was taken aback.

She thought the Copper Fox mainly used absolute defensive techniques, but she didn't expect its offensive ninjutsu to be so powerful.

The cutting of clouds, in particular, creates a striking visual impact.

Has Konoha's Anbu become this strong?

She knew that a Jonin from the Nara clan was a captain in the Anbu.

No wonder the clan leader wanted to send the clan's second-best expert into the Dark Division. The Dark Division is full of hidden talents, and its intelligence must not be ignored.

After clearing away the paragliders, Ye Guang and his group continued flying towards the Land of Rivers.

Nara Umeka estimated the distance and realized that they couldn't possibly fly to the Land of Rivers tonight.

Before dawn, the Dark Guard landed in the desert.

As the team members were packing up their paragliders, Ye Guang said:

"Jonin Mei, you've ventured too far into the Land of Wind. You won't be able to fly back in one night."

We'll find a nearby oasis town to rest, and then take off again after nightfall, flying back to the land of rivers in one go.

"I apologize. What started as a passive escape turned into an active reconnaissance after I discovered Huang Jianmu's unusual movements, which is why I ventured deep into the Land of Wind."

They found a hotel and checked in in batches.

Nara Meika and Copper Fox were the last to enter the inn. She glanced at Copper Fox's room and memorized his room number.

At noon, Nara Umeka knocked on Copper Fox's door.

"Captain Copper Fox, I still have some questions about the movements of the Sunagakure puppeteer unit. I would like to ask you for your guidance."

Nara Baika brought a map, and the two quickly determined the possible ambush routes of the Sand Ninja on the map.

Starting from Shapo Port, then going upstream along a river, most likely the Hakuno River, they would launch a surprise attack on Konoha's rear.

Nara Meika grew increasingly impressed with Yoru, and Copper Fox was equally adept at strategic thinking.

It's said that powerful men never lack women, but despite seeing Nara Meika's admiring gaze, Ye Guang chose to keep her distance.

Those foolish women are willing to take the initiative and compromise themselves, but Nara Umeka is smart, and Yako doesn't want to have any deep involvement with her.

After nightfall, Ye Guang and his group left the town and took off into the desert outside the town.

After flying all night, Ye Guang and his team finally crossed the combat zone.

After entering the camp, Ye Guang led Nara Meika into the Dark Guard's tent area.

"Captain, mission accomplished. Jonin Nara Umeka has been successfully rescued."

The yellow dog glanced behind the fox and saw that not only had Nara Meika returned, but the team the fox had led out was also safe and sound.

Chapter 154 Rumors

The yellow dog thought the fox was becoming more and more reliable.

Recently, Fox Squadron has had the lowest loss rate among the three squadrons under Yellow Dog's command.

The low casualty rate means that the strength of these ANBU ninjas is increasing.

Age is also a part of strength.

If a ninja can live to be 30 years old, he can become an exceptionally good squad leader based on experience alone.

Ye Guang continued, "Captain, I saw a large group of puppeteers gathered in the Land of Wind. Their movements are suspicious. I suspect they will sail out to sea from Sandport and take a sea route to bypass the rear of the Konoha front."

"Hmm?" Captain Yellow Dog glanced at the map hanging on the side and said:

"If we take the sea route... it's very likely that we'll go upstream along the Shirano River in the western part of the River Country."

"Fox, write a detailed mission report first, then go to the command tent."

When Ye Guang entered the command tent, he found that Nara Kazuya and Hatake Sakumo both looked very unwell; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say their faces were ashen.

The yellow dog captain said, "Fox, come and report."

"We are in the Land of Wind..."

Just as Ye Guang opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Captain Huang Quan.

Yellow Dog said, "Let's not report the information about the Wind Kingdom first, let's report something else first."

Ye Guang was somewhat puzzled. What could be more important than a sneak attack from behind by the elite puppeteers of Sunagakure?

Nara Kazuno waved to the others inside the command tent, signaling them to leave.

Soon, only five people remained in the command tent: Nara Kazuno, Hatake Sakumo, Yellow Inu, Yoru, and Nara Umeka.

Yellow Dog said, "Fox, report on the mission to eliminate the Nara clan's rogue ninja."

Ye Guang, not understanding what was going on, honestly explained the mission to him.

He was in charge of one person, and each of the three teams was in charge of one person, for a total of four people, who disguised themselves as Mist Ninja to carry out the cleanup.

Nara Shikaku asked, "Captain Copper Fox, after your company cleared out the rogue ninja, what other situations occurred?"

Night Light said:

"No, there's nothing going on. After my squadron cleared out the rogue ninja, we immediately received orders to rescue Jonin Nara Umeka."

Without delay, I completed the mission to eliminate the rogue ninja, accepted the rescue mission, and immediately left the camp.

Nara Kaguya nodded, but his expression remained unchanged, and said:

"Some bad rumors have spread in the camp, saying that every Konoha ninja should be wary of the Nara ninja. The Nara ninja will use shadow techniques to manipulate their teammates to their deaths."

"Weren't these rumors spread by your squadron?"

"It's definitely not me! It's definitely not my squadron."

Although Ye Guang spoke urgently, he was not flustered.

The storm wasn't meant to attack Ye Guang. Ye Guang was just an unknown commander of the Dark Guard in the camp; he wasn't worth framing with rumors.

The title "Copper Fox" is somewhat well-known, but ordinary ninjas don't even know which member of the Anbu the Copper Fox belongs to.

Nightlight glanced at Hatake Sakumo, whose face was grim.

This rumor was less directed at the Nara clan and more at Sakumo Hatake.

Sakumo Hatake had extremely high moral standards and did not allow Konoha ninjas to kill each other.

He spearheaded the initial investigation into the Nara clan's rogue ninjas, and it was he who exposed this matter, forcing the Nara clan to clean house.

Originally, the matter would have ended after the cleanup.

Now rumors are circulating again, which is very embarrassing for the Nara clan.

Which ninja clan doesn't have rogue ninjas?

Madara Uchiha, a rogue ninja from the Uchiha clan, caused immense damage to the village.

The Senju clan also has rogue ninjas, but their numbers are small.

When ninjas encounter injustice, they tend to use kunai to solve problems, which can lead to disaster and force them to become rogue ninjas.

Even though Orochimaru became a rogue ninja among the legendary Sannin of Konoha, no one questioned the Third Hokage.

The Nara clan has produced a scoundrel. Nara Shikazuki, as the clan leader, takes responsibility and entrusts the Anbu to quickly eliminate him without any problems.

However, the continued attacks on the Nara clan based on rumors were a bit too aggressive.

Which ninja clan doesn't have a few scoundrels?

Yoru's gaze shifted between Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikanobu, wondering how the two would ultimately end up together.

Sakumo Hatake said, "Lord Shikazuchi, your actions were very timely. Several rogue ninjas have been executed. I was quite surprised by the rumors circulating in the camp."

Nara Deer Antlers' eyes twitched, and then he said:

“Deputy Commander Shuo Mao, with a great battle imminent, a few rumors are not worth mentioning. Let’s listen to the intelligence that Copper Fox brought back from the Land of Wind.”

The yellow dog said to the fox, "Then you, fox, tell us what you think."

Ye Guang thought to himself, "This is bad. Hatake Sakumo wants to become Hokage, but the Nara clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho clans won't support him, at least not in the short term."

Ye Guang quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Battalion Commander, we have discovered unusual market activity for Huangjianmu within the Kingdom of Wind."

A large quantity of Huangjian wood was purchased and sent towards Sunagakure Village.

On the road from Sunagakure Village to Sandport, we encountered a relocating elite force of puppeteers.

At least 200 puppeteers, leading a large number of puppets, headed towards Shapo Port.

Judging from the soaring price of Huangjian wood, the 200 puppeteers we see may only be one group among many.

The final number of Sand Ninja gathered at Sandport will certainly be more than 200.

Nara Shikano looked at the map on the table and said:

"Our Konoha is fighting on three fronts. Whether it's replenishing genin or supplying materials, everything is like a bowstring stretched to its limit."

But the situation in Sunagakure is even worse.

The Sand Ninja suffered repeated setbacks on the main battlefield, and were hit hard at Sand Port, losing a large amount of logistical supplies.

They couldn't wait any longer; they were going to make a last-ditch effort, like cornered beasts.

After pondering for a few seconds, Nara Shikamaru said:

"Let's finish off Sunagakure with a decisive battle."

Deputy Commander Sakumo, I will be in charge of the main battlefield, and you will be in charge of the elite troops that will counter the surprise attack from Sunagakure.

This may be the last battle of the River Country War.

"Vice Commander Sakumo, if we cooperate effectively and the entire Konoha ninja unite as one, we will surely achieve victory for Konoha in this war."

Sakumo Hatake exuded killing intent in an instant, making Yoru's scalp tingle, and his body almost emitted an absolute defensive bronze light.
