Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

The rumors about the Nara clan were not spread by Hatake Sakumo, but in the end, they were attributed to him.

A simple rumor put Nara Kazumi and Hatake Sakumo on opposite sides, and Hatake Sakumo was holding his breath.

The Sand Village is about to become Sakumo Hatake's punching bag.

After Hatake Sakumo and the Anbu left, Nara Baika stepped forward and said:

"Clan leader, the rumors were definitely not spread by the Copper Fox Squadron, but they couldn't have been spread by Hatake Sakumo either. Should I organize an investigation to find the source of the rumors?"

Nara Shika's eyes were clear, showing no sign of his earlier anger over the rumors. He said:

"I know that the source of the rumors is neither the Copper Fox Squadron nor Hatake Sakumo."

However, some people want us to be at odds with Sakumo Hatake; we should just follow the script.

Regarding the subsequent incidents involving Sakumo Hatake, others cannot accuse us of being unreasonable.

Nara Meika was taken aback for a moment, but then she immediately understood the reason behind it.

Chapter 155 The Decisive Battle of the War in the Land of Rivers

The area is a dark tent zone.

The yellow dog stood in front, facing all the shadowy figures.

"The war in the land of rivers has lasted for half a year."

Sunagakure is the weakest of the five great hidden villages. In just six months, Sunagakure suffered more than 1000 ninja casualties.

After Kirigakure declared war on us, Konoha launched a three-pronged attack.

Both sides have reached their limits.

The brutal war lasted for six months, and both sides wanted to achieve a result as soon as possible.

The Hidden Sand Village decided to end the war with a gamble-like final battle.

In the final battle, there will be no missions behind enemy lines, no assassinations, and no diversionary tactics; both sides will commit all their forces.

Hippo Squadron, Yak Squadron, follow me to the front lines and assist the main force.

The Fox Squadron is heading to the Shirano River battlefield to assist the flank forces under the command of Deputy Commander Sakumo Hatake.

The Dark Division has two missions in the final battle.

The primary task is to faithfully record the battlefield situation for the Hokage, without missing a single detail.

The second task is to step in and fight on behalf of the Hokage at the most crucial moment.

The Anbu is the Hokage's direct subordinate force. They are not only the Hokage's sharpest blade and eyes, but also the embodiment of the Hokage's influence.

Each company commander was instructed to collect sufficient detonating tags and distribute all remaining kunai and detonating tags from the stockpile.

Ye Guang noticed that the yellow dog kept emphasizing the Hokage, deliberately omitting Danzo, the head of the Anbu.

Huang Quan is a bit ambitious.

The Purple Cat Squad received a large number of ninja tools and explosive tags.

Nightlight led his squadron away from the Dark Guard tent area and headed towards the flank assembly point.

The camp was filled with assembled troops, making it appear extremely chaotic.

Seeing some ninjas whispering among themselves, Ye Guang asked Zi Mao, "Zi Mao, has anything changed in the camp lately? Why are some people so distracted before the battle?"

Purple Cat whispered, "Captain, Commander-in-Chief Deer Horn abolished the ninjutsu assessment system last night. Some civilian ninjas have changed their mindset and are worried that they will not be able to obtain ninjutsu that suits them."

Ye Guang felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Before the final battle, Nara Shikaku openly broke with Hatake Sakumo and abolished Hatake Sakumo's most important policy, the ninjutsu examination system.

After the War of the River Country, Nara Shikazuki not only failed to become friends with Nara Shikazuki, but also developed significant conflicts with him.

Is it because of the rumors circulating in the camp that the Nara clan uses shadow magic to control their own people?

Nara Shikazuki isn't afraid that Hatake Sakumo might do something in the final battle... He shouldn't be afraid. Hatake Sakumo isn't that kind of person; he'll definitely consider the bigger picture.

Outside the main camp, the main force completed its pre-battle mobilization.

The troops were divided into two forces: one was the front-line force commanded by Nara Shikaku and Tsunade, and the other was the flank force commanded by Hatake Sakumo.

Even Tsunade changed into a battle vest.

Her eyes were tired, and she shifted her shoulders, seemingly unaccustomed to the metal vest.

She looked at the several Senju ninjas.

Most of the Senju ninjas were in the medical corps, and only a few were still in combat, contributing their strength and blood to Konoha. She hoped that these few could survive.

Tsunade will recommend them to become Jonin.

Nightlight bypassed the main force and spotted the flank forces.

Sakumo Hatake stood at the very front, his expression resolute, seemingly unaffected by the abolition of the ninjutsu censorship system.

He waved his hand, and the flank troops left the camp and headed to the designated battlefield.

Ye Guang quickly followed.

He was not under the command of Hatake Sakumo; the Fox Squadron made independent judgments and acted independently.

Below the Shirano River, the water rushes.

Along both banks of the Hakuno River, large numbers of Sand Ninja fled north, circling around to the rear of the Konoha forces.

The two forces collided violently in the middle of the Shirano River.

Ye Guang found a high place west of the Shirano River, stood on a rock, and looked at the battlefield through a telescope.

The commander of the Sand Village is the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, an advisor to the Sand Village, and they are the elite Jonin couple, Camel Thorn.

Camelthorn was a puppetry genius from Sunagakure. He learned all the puppetry theories by the age of 5, created a puppet that impressed the Second Kazekage by the age of 6, graduated from the Ninja Academy early at the age of 7, and became a Jonin of Sunagakure at the age of 11.

Sakumo Hatake was also a genius, praised by the Second Hokage.

When two geniuses meet on the battlefield, it is time to test their true worth.

Only the most outstanding geniuses can survive.

The dead genius, no matter how dazzling or brilliant he was before, all become a joke, a stepping stone for the surviving geniuses.

Camelthorn and his wife joined forces and charged at Sakumo Hatake.

Camel Thorn waved his hand forcefully, and ten puppets flew out from behind him, rushing towards Hatake Sakumo like kites.

Camelthorn had long since mastered the top-level puppetry technique of controlling a puppet with a single finger.

Around him were ten puppets of various shapes and sizes: some were defensive, some wielded giant hammers, and some were small, fast-moving puppets.

Camel Thorn's wife was equally skilled in puppetry, controlling six puppets with both hands.

Ye Guang examined it closely and realized that Camel Thorn's puppets were not the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters from the manga, but those ten puppets looked incredibly imposing.

A white light shone on the banks of the Shirano River.

coming!

Sakumo Hatake's secret technique, the Chakra Crystal Refining Secret Technique!

A large amount of Lightning Release chakra was compressed and condensed by Sakumo Hatake until it crystallized and became materialized.

With a swing of his chakra dagger, the refined lightning chakra shone with a dazzling white light, carrying a blade of light several meters long, instantly slicing through the two puppets.

With a crackling sound, the yellow hardwood outer shell of the puppet broke, and the steel skeleton inside the puppet broke off neatly.

The cross-section of the steel even showed the bright red color of molten iron.

Too much restraint. Sakumo Hatake's sword light was too dazzling, and the puppet's strength limit was insufficient. It was like a toy in front of White Fang.

Camelthorn had some idea of ​​Hatake Sakumo's strength, but seeing the puppet's miserable state still made his eyelids tremble.

However, he did not panic.

Two chakra control lines shot out from a finger, and the puppet, split in two, could still be controlled, and even controlled separately.

Even if the puppet is dismembered, the camel thorn can allow the weapons on the fragments to launch an attack at the right time.

Hatake Sakumo fought against the Camel Thorn Couple alone, but was soon surrounded by puppets.

The puppet shattered more and more with each blow, but even with broken legs, it could still launch attacks.

The puppet's shattered chest cavity mechanism activated unexpectedly, forcing Sakumo Hatake to remain constantly vigilant and handle the situation with care.

The moonlight shifted its gaze, looking in other directions from the battlefield.

Konoha deployed approximately 600 people in 10 battalions near the Shirono River.

Around 500 Sand Ninja arrived, including as many as 300 puppeteers.

One puppeteer's combat power is equivalent to that of three ordinary Sand Ninja.

The puppeteer hid in the canyon of the Hakuno River, while the puppets leaped onto the canyon bank and engaged in fierce battle with the Konoha ninjas.

Purple Cat stood to the side holding a scroll, recording the performance of the Konoha team in large groups.

This record will be corroborated with the reports submitted by each battalion after the battle, and will determine the mission rewards.

Special records will also be kept for certain outstanding ninjas in the team.

The battle reached a stalemate, and casualties quickly occurred on both sides.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "We can't let Hatake Sakumo suffer a great loss here. The ninjutsu assessment system has been abolished. If this turns into a Pyrrhic victory, even if we kill the Camel Thorn couple, Hatake Sakumo's prestige will be severely damaged."

He put down his binoculars and said, "Aries, Deer, you two stay here and protect Purple Cat to record the battlefield situation. I'm going to do something to break the deadlock."

Chapter 156 White Fang Blade Light

Upstream of the Hakuno River, a special Konoha squad is trying to break through the Sand Village's defenses and reach the river.

This special brigade was filled with many Water Release ninjas.

If we rush into the canyon of Shirono River and create a great flood using water-based techniques, we can force the puppeteer hiding in the canyon to come out.

The puppeteer's body is relatively weak, while the puppet is impervious to pain and does not bleed, making attacking the puppeteer the best option.

The Sand Village also knew that the puppeteers hidden in the river valleys were their weakness, so they deployed a large number of defensive forces to protect the upper reaches of the Hakuno River.

The Konoha Water Release ninja team encountered strong resistance and was unable to break through the defense line composed of hundreds of puppets in a short time.

There were too many puppets, so I dared not use physical combat skills to fight them.

A row of Sand Ninja stood on the canyon bank, using Wind Release and Earth Release to defend against the Leaf Village Ninja's ninjutsu, preventing the ninjutsu from destroying too many puppets.

Earthen walls rose up, serving both to block the impact of Konoha's water-style ninjas and to provide a barrier for the puppets to dodge water-style attacks.

The battle reached a stalemate, and beads of cold sweat dripped from Konoha Captain Gu Yang's chin.

Damn it, I'm the one who's holding us back. It's been half an hour and we still can't get past Shirano River.

Should we go upstream again and take a detour?

The Sand Ninja will follow.

I didn't have any good ideas.

Just then, Captain Gu Yang suddenly spotted a line of water.

The Sand Ninja stood on the shore in a row, originally using ninjutsu to hold off the Konoha's Water Release squad.

The waterline shot upwards at an angle from below the canyon.

After sweeping through, they cut most of the Sand Ninja on the canyon bank in half!

That's Water Escape... Water Severing Wave?

Captain Gu Yang thought to himself, "Isn't that one of the Second Mizukage's signature Water Release techniques?"

Even as a Jonin specializing in Water Release, I never had the chance to learn that ninjutsu.

Gu Yang quickly shouted, "Opportunity! Use Water Release to break through all obstacles!"

The Konoha ninjas used Water Release techniques to break through the unmaintained Earth Flow Wall, sending the puppet back to the Hakuno River.

The Water Release team finally arrived at the banks of the Hakuno River and saw the Sand Ninja at the bottom of the canyon.
