Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

Nara Shikaku had a ruthless ANBU assassinate a problematic Nara ninja, at which point Hatake Sakumo became known as someone who broke the rules.

The news of the Camel Thorn couple's murder was relayed back to the Sand Ninja forces immediately through Sand Ninja prisoners who had 'luckily' escaped.

Chiyo, who was leading the support team, listened to the Sand Ninja's report in disbelief.

"Evidence! I need evidence!"

Soon, news came from Konoha that they were willing to exchange the corpses of the Camel Thorn Couple for the corpses of several Jonin from Konoha.

Chiyo looked at Ebizo in horror, and Ebizo lowered his head.

Luo Sha, standing to the side, looked sorrowful, but a hint of... relief flashed in his eyes.

Within Sunagakure, the two factions of puppeteers and secret ninjas have been locked in a constant struggle of open and covert conflict.

With Camelthorn dead, Rasa, the ninja of the secret arts, lost his biggest rival.

After several days of confirmation and discussion, the Sand Village finally agreed to negotiate.

The Konoha troops withdrew in an orderly manner and left the desert.

Upon returning from the desert, Captain Yellow Dog summoned the fox.

He examined the battlefield record scroll carefully and asked, "Are the details of Hatake Sakumo's abilities all in the scroll?"

A moment of confusion flashed in the yellow dog's eyes. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Hatake Sakumo's strength, but rather that he was imagining how he would kill Poison Sting if it were him.

The hypothetical result is that it is almost impossible.

Ye Guang said, "Captain, Hatake Sakumo is too strong. His chakra short sword technique tore apart all the puppets. No matter how exquisite the puppet is, it is useless after it is turned into parts."

The yellow dog nodded; Hatake Sakumo was indeed formidable.

"On the flank of the battlefield, Hatake Sakumo killed Camelthorn, an elite Jonin from Sunagakure."

On the main battlefield, Sakumo Hatake played a decisive role.

He was the one who made the greatest contribution in the war against the land of rivers.

Before Sakumo Hatake arrived with reinforcements, Konoha and Sunagakure exchanged casualties, resulting in heavy losses.

On the main battlefield, Konoha lost at least 500 ninjas.

Without Sakumo Hatake, the numbers would have been even more dire.

"It's fortunate you killed Camelthorn's wife, otherwise all the credit for the battle would have gone to Hatake Sakumo."

After the troops returned to the main camp, the command post was very busy, but the Fox Company was idle.

Nightlight gathered three squad leaders.

"The war in the land of rivers is about to end, and I will apply for a short leave of absence for you."

Don't slack off during this holiday.

Purple Cat, Aries, and Deer, after you go back, each of you should make a plan to improve the strength of your team.

I applied for a few ninjutsu techniques for you last time, but it's far from enough.

Taking advantage of this great victory and our squadron's outstanding performance, I will apply for another round of ninjutsu for you.

Each person, based on their own abilities, completes two ninjutsu techniques: one offensive and one defensive.

Alternatively, you can teach each other ninjutsu to complete your offensive and defensive skills, and then apply for some powerful B-rank or even A-rank ninjutsu.

Purple Cat, Aries, you both have your own secret techniques.

"Think about how you can enhance your secret techniques. Just ask, and I'll apply to the Dark Division."

The three squad leaders left.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "I've already earned a title, and I'm considered a big shot in the Anbu. I think Captain Yellow Dog wouldn't refuse to help his subordinates with some ninjutsu."

The camp was rather deserted.

Approximately 2000 Konoha ninja entered the battlefield in the Land of Rivers. After nearly half a year of fierce fighting, more than 900 of them were killed.

While Sunagakure suffered heavy losses in this battle, Konoha was not having an easy time either.

At night, a figure entered the glow-in-the-dark tent.

Nightlight was looking at the recent mission reports of the Fox Squadron behind the table.

"Purple Cat, have you figured out a reinforcement plan for your team so quickly?"

"Um...uh..."

Seeing the purple cat's hesitant expression, Ye Guang asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just took a shower."

"Huh?" Ye Guang glanced at the tent flap, which Purple Cat had lowered.

With the war won, everyone relaxed.

"Then I'll go take a shower too."

The purple cat said, "I can't wait any longer, I don't mind that you're not good enough."

"Hmm? She's not wearing anything underneath? Looks like she really can't wait..."

Half an hour later, Purple Cat, panting heavily, pressed herself against Nightlight's chest and said, "By the way, Captain, I have some plans to increase my strength. Could you give me some advice?"

"Then I need to dig deeper into you before I can give you any advice, don't you think?"

Another half hour passed, and the purple cat pleaded for mercy while remaining dazed.

"Purple Cat, now tell me your ideas for improving your strength. This time, I'll really give you some advice."

"Captain, I come from a mountain tribe, and I originally specialized in the secret arts of the mountain tribe."

A large part of the power of the mountain's secret techniques comes from the combined efforts of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

I entered the Dark Side alone, without the Ino-Shika-Cho trio or suitable teammates, so I had to make some changes.

The foundation of the secret arts of the mountains is powerful mental strength, which is my strength.

Captain, do you think if I learn some illusion magic, it can make up for the lack of teammates like Ino-Shika-Cho?

Illusionist ninjas are also very strong and well-suited to the ANBU's combat style.

Nightlight nodded repeatedly. He explained that Kurenai Yuhi in the original story was a genjutsu-type ninja, relatively rare in Konoha.

"That's a good idea. With strong mental power, try learning illusion magic and see how it goes. Maybe you're a genius at illusion magic."

Genjutsu ninjas are relatively rare, and genjutsu often plays a surprisingly effective role in ninja battles.

I will apply for an illusion spell for you to fully unleash your potential.

After playing with the purple cat for a while, Ye Guang got up and continued looking at the scroll.

The next day, all three teams submitted their reinforcement plans.

Ye Guang went to find Captain Yellow Dog.

Captain Yellow Dog glanced at the ninjutsu reward application and quickly signed it. He said:

"Some techniques are available in the Dark Side bases, but not on the front lines."

Illusion techniques, in particular, are quite precious. I will give these ninjutsu to your squadron after I return to the village.

Fox, come with me on a mission.

The Sand Village is about to negotiate with us, but the negotiating team is small; otherwise, it could easily escalate into a major war.

Together, you and I will act as the Hokage's eyes to witness the negotiation process and its outcome.

"it is good."

Nightlight has become Yellow Dog's number one subordinate.

Captain Yellow Dog gave him all seven ninjutsu he had applied for without hesitation.

I should have applied for more; anyway, Huang Quan signed it without looking at it carefully.

Yellow Dog trusts Luminous very much, and Luminous carefully maintains that trust.

He will not break this trust in the short term, and this trust can bring him a continuous stream of resources.

These seven ninjutsu can also be learned by Ye Guang; this is a perk for a company commander.

If you can become the captain, you'll get even more benefits.

As for the incident where Huang Quan used the izakaya Qiaoyi to reprimand him, he kept it deep in his heart. As long as Huang Quan didn't take any real action, he wouldn't do anything out of line.

At the entrance of the camp, Ye Guang spotted the negotiating team.

Commander-in-Chief: Nara Kazuno, two staff officers, Yellow Dog, and Night Light.

Tsunade was busy in the medical tent. Except for the final battle, Tsunade usually did not go to the battlefield.

Negotiations require a basic level of sincerity; the number of people is small, so a battle is unlikely.

Even in battle, these five people would be difficult for Sunagakure to deal with, whether they were attacking or fleeing.

Chapter 159 The Cost of Diplomacy

After leaving the camp, the five-person negotiation team from Konoha headed towards an oasis in the north.

Upon entering the oasis, the Sand Village had already emptied the area around the oasis of residents from the Land of Wind.

Under the scorching sun, three large umbrellas were set up, and under the umbrellas were the three parties negotiating.

Under the umbrella at the front is the special envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, serving as a witness to this negotiation.

Under the umbrella on the west side, the people of Sunagakure were already in place.

Looking through the light, one could see Ebizo, Rasa, Matsu, two assistants, and a member of the Sunagakure ANBU.

Ebizo stared intently at the bronze fox, watching it take its seat.

Within Sunagakure, Sakumo Hatake is referred to as the White Fang, but it's unclear why he didn't come.

The title "White Fang" will gradually spread, just like "Bronze Fox," and will be remembered by every Sand Ninja.

Ebizo's facial muscles twitched as he suppressed his anger.

Originally, Chiyo, the older sister, was supposed to come to this negotiation, but Ebizo went to great lengths to appease her and prevent her from doing so.

He was afraid that if he encountered White Fang or Copper Fox here, his sister would turn the meeting into a revenge session.

My nephew is dead. His puppetry skills were so superb that even his sister wouldn't dare say she could beat him.

Seated in the main seat was the envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, Ashikaga Sadakaze, the Left Minister of the Taishoin of the Land of Wind. He put down his fan and said to the people from Konoha:

"Chief Deer Antlers, you've come a long way and must be tired."

Chief Shikagami, the Konoha Commander-in-Chief, please have a good talk with Sunagakure.

On behalf of the daimyo, I would like to state that the daimyo believes the war should end.

After saying this, Minister of the Left Ashikaga Sakka remained silent.

Judging from his subtle praise of those in Konoha, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was extremely dissatisfied with the Sand Village's performance in the war.

Training a puppeteer consumes far more resources than training a ninja.

The Land of Wind sent steel and expensive yellow ebony to Sunagakure, but the puppeteers they trained were no match for the strongmen of Konoha.

Camelthorn, the genius puppeteer praised by Sunagakure, died, leading to White Fang leading a team to support the main battlefield.

How could the Daimyo of the Land of Wind not be furious?

I've given you all the support you wanted from Sunagakure, so what are you going to give me in return?

Was Shapo Harbor destroyed? Was the battlefield a crushing defeat?

No wonder the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was disappointed; in the war between ninja villages, being bad was the original sin.

The Nara deer antlers opened and said:

"Lord Ashikaga Sadakaze, Special Envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and Advisor to Ebizo."

Today, I represent Konoha in postwar negotiations.

Our demands are as follows.
