Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

Nara antlers glanced at the yellow dog again.

Yellow Dog wondered to himself why he hadn't thought of this idea before.

His initial answer was to send a summoning beast to help the Konoha team. Now it seems the fox was right. If he had used a summoning beast, his own escort mission might have failed because he was missing a summoning beast.

Nara Shika asked a third question:

"If you were asked to infiltrate the distant Land of Bears for thirty years, during which time you could not reveal your identity, could not contact any Konoha ninjas, and were to be treated as if you never existed, what would you do?"

Ye Guang answered without hesitation:

"After 30 years of undercover work, I can prove that the village is going to achieve a goal that will take several decades to complete."

The Land of Bears is a vassal state of the Land of Earth, and I will formulate a long-term plan for the Land of Bears.

With my abilities, I will control everything in the Bear Kingdom in thirty years.

The daimyo of the Bear Country will be my puppet, the queen dowager of the Bear Country will be my lover, and the nobles of the Bear Country will be my slaves.

My only goal is to become the unsung emperor behind the scenes of the Bear Kingdom.

"Once my thirty-year infiltration period is over, Konoha will give me orders. At the very least, I must mobilize the entire Kuma Kingdom's resources, lead them in their rebellion against the Land of Earth, and launch an attack on the Land of Earth to help Konoha win the war against it."

The Jonin nodded repeatedly. They were already used to Root's Bronze Fox's way of thinking and found that this approach was indeed the optimal solution.

Everything else is fine, except that becoming the mistress of the Queen Mother of the Bear Kingdom—doesn't that take her age into account?

Upon closer reflection, if the daimyo is a puppet, he might be under 10 years old, in which case being the empress dowager's lover would be acceptable.

Nara Shikaku shook his head as he wrote his opinion on the scroll.

Well, it's not that it doesn't meet Konoha's requirements, it's just that it's a bit too much in line with the requirements of the Anbu.

Ninjas from the Anbu (secret branch of the Kuomintang) tend to be somewhat extreme.

Copper Fox, you're too extreme. Nara Shikanobu's last comment on the scroll was that Copper Fox should stay in the Anbu; he was no longer suitable to be an ordinary ninja.

"Alright, the interview assessment is over. Next up is the practical assessment."

Yellow Dog was very satisfied with Nightlight's performance, and he was even less worried about the actual combat test.

Nara Deer Antlers said:

"The practical assessment will be conducted here."

Three Jonin will test your skills. If you are quickly defeated, or if you damage anything in the meeting room, you will fail the assessment.

Ye Guang hurriedly asked, "What if one of the three Jonin deliberately damages the floor or windows?"

Nara Shikazuchi said, "Not all Jonin are ANBU, not all Jonin are unscrupulous. Jonin have their own pride."

Ye Guang was taken aback; it seemed like he was being targeted.

What do you mean? Does that mean you're unscrupulous and have no pride?

Three Jonin, carrying kunai, charged toward Nightlight from three directions.

Ye Guang used his hand as a knife and slashed at a Jonin's kunai.

With a crisp clang, the kunai broke.

Ye Guang wanted to punch him in the chest, but was afraid that if she threw him away, he would break the bottles and jars, so she reached out and grabbed the ninja in front of her by the throat.

However, the Jonin was quick and dodged the luminous iron hook-like palm first.

The Jonin behind him also rushed over. Ye Guang turned around and used his copper-colored palm to cut off his kunai and grab at his throat.

This time, the luminous light successfully seized that vulnerable throat.

The next instant, the glow-in-the-dark fox mask was illuminated by a flash of light.

Ray's double?

The Jonin behind him rushed in from the blind spot of the night vision, having prepared a lightning substitution in advance.

This person's lightning release technique is exceptionally high; he used the lightning substitute that Kakashi used in the original story.

With his other hand, Ye Guang quickly formed a hand seal and used the seal for the Earth Substitute.

The lightning crackled and exploded towards the luminous object. However, it only struck a puddle of mud.

Nightlight appeared in the corner of the conference room, standing behind the Jonin who was skilled in Lightning Release.

I almost got discovered by so many people; the absolute defense against the copper light is an earth-遁 (earth-遁) secret technique.

The two were locked in a stalemate using physical techniques.

The Lightning Release Jonin retreated further and further away, using another Jonin as a barrier to form hand seals in preparation for using Lightning Release: Earth Walk.

When Ye Guang saw the mark, he instantly tensed up.

It wasn't that I was afraid of the ninjutsu itself, but rather that I was afraid of Lightning Release: Low Descent damaging the floor.

The light jumped up and hung upside down on the ceiling.

The lightning-style jonin stopped forming hand seals and looked up at the night light.

The other two Jonin simultaneously teleported near the ceiling, and thrust two kunai at Nightlight, one after the other.

They were still testing the absolute defenses of the Nightlight, trying to find a weakness.

The three of them fought from the ceiling to the floor, and then from the floor to the window.

A flowerpot on the windowsill was knocked off. Ye Guang kicked a person forward, sending them flying. The person then leaned back and caught the flowerpot near the ground.

No sooner had the flowerpots been placed than someone else rushed up.

The three fought fiercely, mainly using taijutsu and small-scale ninjutsu.

five minutes later.

"Stop!" Nara Shika shouted.

"If the four of you don't use your trump cards, none of you can do anything to the other."

Fox, you have passed the test.

"The combat assessment is over. After I finish writing my assessment report, Fox, you can go upstairs to see the Hokage."

Chapter 164 Fox Jonin

The yellow dog left the Jonin team's review room with the glowing light in its eyes.

At the entrance to the Hokage's office on the third floor, Yako saw Tsunade leave the Hokage's office with a cold face.

I don't know what she talked about with the Hokage, but she seemed to be in a very bad mood.

Upon entering the Hokage's office, Yagami saw the Third Hokage with his head down, staring blankly at the empty desk.

The aftereffects of the argument; it seems the argument with Tsunade was quite intense.

The third generation only looked up when the yellow dog walked up to him.

The third generation's expression instantly switched from gloomy to joyful.

"Oh? The fox passed the antler test so quickly?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the Jonin recommendation scroll and said as he read:

"Five S-rank missions, all of which were S-rank missions from the Anbu. This resume is enough to qualify one as a Jonin."

Is Copper Fox being a bit extreme in his interview assessment?

For the darker areas, this is not a problem.

During the battle assessment, the deer antlers said that even if they fought for another ten minutes, it would be impossible to reach a conclusion. It seems the fox's defensive capabilities are quite strong.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and said:

"Fox, there's no problem with you being promoted to Jonin."

I have another question for you.

Both Yellow Dog and Black Ant recommend you take on the role of Captain of the Dark Guard. Tell me, how would you do this job?

Ye Guang thought to himself, "There's an unexpected surprise. Not only will he be promoted to Jonin, but he'll also be made a captain."

The captain of the Anbu has extremely high authority, managing the training, promotion, and ninjutsu rewards of more than 60 Anbu ninjas under his command, and can independently monitor a war for the Hokage.

After a moment's thought, Ye Guang said:

"I will focus on doing well in two aspects."

The first aspect is to do everything in my power to complete the tasks assigned by the Hokage.

Secondly, as long as it does not conflict with the Hokage's orders, one must absolutely obey Lord Yellow Dog.

If Lord Yellow Dog is promoted to Vice Commander of the Dark Division, I will surely become the sharpest blade in Lord Yellow Dog's hand!

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Just advising the Hokage is probably nothing new."

My promotion to Special Jonin and then to Jonin were both initiated and recommended by Yellow Dog.

Huang Quan promoted himself to captain in order to cultivate his own loyal followers.

Given the Third Generation's extraordinary trust in the Yellow Dog, he would probably reap even greater rewards if he told the Yellow Dog that he would obey it.

As expected, the third generation leader looked very satisfied.

The yellow dog nodded slightly in agreement.

The third generation said:

"Alright, Fox, your promotion to Jonin can be done today."

However, your promotion to captain of the Anbu requires you to perform well in the Land of Whirlpools. First, help Yellow Dog get promoted to vice-captain of the Anbu, and the captain position that Yellow Dog vacates will be yours.”

"Understood! Please rest assured, Lord Hokage and Lord Yellow Dog, I will definitely not let you down!"

Huang Quan became the deputy head of the Dark Division, and one foot was already in the ranks of the higher-ups. From now on, he could be addressed as "Sir".

The Third Hokage continued, "After an Anbu ninja becomes a Jonin, you will be rewarded with an A-rank ninjutsu. Do you have any plans for your ability system?"

Throughout the journey, Ye Guang pondered how to choose the Jonin reward.

His first choice was to clear his name of some of his abilities.

Sealing techniques, Water Instantaneous Movement, and the like are things that can't be exposed to the light of day, so it's better to take this opportunity to clear our names. It's just unknown whether Konoha has these techniques.

As for S-rank ninjutsu, forget about it; S-rank ninjutsu is not something that ordinary Jonin can obtain.

He said, "Lord Hokage, my elemental ninjutsu is quite comprehensive; I only need to refine the ninjutsu I already possess. I wonder if I could learn sealing techniques?"

"Sealing techniques..." the Third Hokage said.

"Tsunade just came by. The Senju clan discovered that the Anbu possessed some sealing techniques, and she came to question me about where those sealing techniques came from."

In order to investigate the truth behind the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan, the Anbu examined the corpses of Uzumaki ninjas and accidentally obtained some sealing techniques.

Take a look at the catalog and pick one. Sealing techniques are very useful; they might come in very handy later.

No wonder Tsunade left with a grim expression.

That sounds nice, but it's supposed to be about investigating the truth behind the Uzumaki clan's annihilation. Tsunade would be a fool to believe that.

The yellow dog brought over a scroll that read: Catalogue of Research on Hiruzen Sarutobi's Sealing Technique.

Upon opening the directory, I saw some sealing techniques.

Important sealing techniques from the original work, such as the Four Symbols Seal, the Eight Trigrams Seal, the Corpse Demon Seal, the Vajra Chains, and the Inner Four Symbols Seal, are not included in the table of contents.

Ye Guang finally saw a familiar sealing technique.

He said, "Lord Hokage, when I was in the Land of Whirlpools, I saw the Uzumaki ninja use the Self-Binding Curse Seal. I wonder if I can learn this technique?"

"The Self-Binding Seal?" The Third Hokage said, "You can learn it, but this technique is very difficult. Without the special chakra of the Uzumaki clan, it's very hard to master. Have you thought it through?"

"I've made up my mind. The Self-Binding Seal has left a deep impression on me, and I'm willing to spend time practicing this technique."

He finally got a chance to clear his name and could reveal his strongest sealing technique to others.

Of the core ninjutsu, only Water Release: Water Flicker Technique remains, which cannot be exposed to the light.

How can I get involved with Hanzo?
