Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

But Yako said, "No! We'll deal with Hozuki Muratsuki! Hozuki Muratsuki is the commander-in-chief of the sword-seizing squad; he's far more valuable."

Yamashiroji and Gekko-michi exchanged a glance, both feeling that they had been misled by preconceived notions and hadn't immediately considered helping the Uchiha clan.

Copper Fox's judgment was more accurate.

Nightlight said, "Have all the squads find their own targets, and ideally wipe out all three Mist Ninja Battalions. The three of us will deal with Hozuki Muratsuki!"

Yamashiroji, Gekkomune, and Yoko left the group and instantly appeared around Hozuki Village.

Uchiha Touka was thrilled to see three powerful reinforcements.

Hozuki Muratsuki's abilities are extremely effective against the Uchiha clan, making it very difficult for Uchiha ninjas to deal with him.

Nightlight glanced at Suigetsu Hozuki, knowing that the Samehada sword would belong to him, and that Kirigakure would even call Samehada the first master of the sword.

Kirigakure is unwilling to acknowledge that Samehada, the greatsword, once belonged to the Hozuki clan.

Night Light thought to himself, "Hozuki Village Moon possesses a water-transformation secret technique, as well as a water-transformation healing technique, making him very difficult to kill."

If Hozuki Murakami is injured, Suigetsu Hozuki might actually help Konoha deal with this formidable enemy.

Seeing three more Konoha Jonin suddenly appear nearby, Hozuki Tsuki shouted, "Run! Retreat!"

Nightlight blocked Hozuki Village Light's retreat: "You're not going anywhere. You'll have to leave sideways today!"

Chapter 187 Great Victory

Surrounded by five Konoha Jonin, including two Uchiha Jonin and the Anbu member Bronze Fox, Hozuki Mura felt a chill run down his spine.

Hozuki Muratsuki quickly formed hand seals.

The explosive force surged southward, rapidly expanding to its maximum size.

The steam blasting machine, tens of meters high, can even be heard making sounds of boiling water and billowing steam inside.

"burst!"

The terrifying explosion disrupted the encirclement of the five Konoha Jonin.

The luminous objects, which were close to the hazardous explosion, had to retreat.

After creating the breach, Hozuki Village Light jumped towards the sea without looking back.

Seeing that the people from Konoha were in hot pursuit, Hozuki Village formed hand seals, and his clone, Steam Explosion, once again blocked his path.

Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground.

A luminous light appeared, forming a hand seal.

The self-inflicted curse seal spread out from the ground like a spider web, and then crawled all over Hozuki Village's body from his feet.

"Chance!"

Uchiha Touka seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful fireball.

Nightlight quickly dove underground to avoid the Great Fireball. Hozuki Murakami was instantly engulfed by the Great Fireball, screaming in agony within its flames.

When Yamashiroji saw the bronze fox emerge from not far away, he quickly asked, "Bronze Fox Jonin, did you succeed?"

Nightlight shook his head:

"Hozuki Village was hit by the Great Fireball Technique, but at the last moment, he risked being severely injured by the Great Fireball, used the Water Transformation Secret Technique to break free of my sealing technique, and seeped into the ground, disappearing without a trace."

Hozuki Murakami was a ruthless man; he risked being roasted alive to escape.

However, Yoru knew about Hozuki Muratsuki.

He tampered with things underground, planting poison on the ground when he infiltrated under the moon in Hozuki Village.

After Hozuki Village is liquefied, the venom will dissolve into the liquid formed by his liquefaction.

With that venom, Hozuki Muratsuki's water-based self-healing technique will be much less effective.

The Konoha members were disappointed to hear that Hozuki Mura had run away.

Just then, the appearance of the steam explosion proved that Hozuki Mura was indeed not dead.

The steam and oil surged toward the group, expanding to their maximum size once more, with water vapor and oil transforming into high-temperature blasts that exploded in all directions.

Yellow Dog couldn't defeat Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon in a short time.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon also escaped.

Uchiha Touko said regretfully, "What a pity, both elite Jonin have escaped."

Yellow Dog said, "Sushiyama Fuguki has an enormous amount of chakra. Whether it's Water Release or the Hair Needle Secret Technique, it's very difficult for me to deal with it."

Seeing that the others didn't seem to be giving chase, Yamashiroji and Gekko-michi charged towards the ordinary Mist Ninja.

Only by killing more Mist Ninja can we expand our gains.

Nightlight followed, to deal with the ordinary Mist Ninja.

The primary objective of this ambush was to achieve a considerable victory, thus securing Huang Quan's promotion to vice minister.

Several Jonin from Konoha joined the battle, and the three battalions of Mist Ninja quickly collapsed.

After the battle ended, Yellow Dog, Night Light, and other Jonin stood on the mountaintop, watching Butterfly tally the battle results below.

Before long, the butterfly reached the mountaintop.

"Captain! In this battle, we killed four Kirigakure Jonin and more than 330 Kirigakure ninja!"

The yellow dog was breathing heavily.

Excellent, excellent, a resounding victory.

Only such a victory could silence the others and allow him to be promoted to vice minister.

He said, "Butterfly, record the battle results in detail, tally our casualties, and write a battle report as soon as possible."

"slow!"

The yellow dog turned its head in confusion when it heard the fox speak.

Luminous whispered in the yellow dog's ear:

"Captain, when I was interrogating the Mist Ninja, I heard that Suigetsu Hozuki coveted Samehada, the greatsword of Hozuki Muratsuki."

Or should we wait?

"Hozuki Village Light was surrounded and seriously injured by the five of us. Perhaps there will be a surprise."

Yellow Dog said, "Is the infighting in Kirigakure even worse than in Konoha? Two elite Jonin would actually fight each other?"

Ye Guang nodded, agreeing that it was very likely.

Conflicts are hard to eliminate, but the physical body is easy to eliminate.

Ninjas from any village all preferred to physically eliminate their opponents.

Of the five great ninja villages, only the Hidden Cloud Village, which was formed after the rebellion of the Gold and Silver Brothers, had the best internal order and the least internal strife, making it the strongest of the five great ninja villages.

The other four major ninja villages are evenly matched in their internal strife, so none of them should laugh at the others.

If you can take action, who wants to argue with others about the Will of Fire?

Fugaku Uchiha stood at the foot of the hillside, looking at the six Jonin on the hilltop, wondering when he would become a Jonin of Konoha.

After clearing the battlefield, the team headed towards the front-line camp.

-

On a coast of the Land of Whirlpools, Suigetsu Hozuki carried the great sword Samehada on his back.

A mangled corpse lay on the rocks.

"Being sucked and devoured by five walrus spirit beasts—this is a trump card I prepared especially for you. Even if you have the ability to transform into water, you can't be resurrected once you're sucked into the bellies of different walruses."

Suigetsu Hozuki felt the weight of Samehada and was quite satisfied.

"Hozuki Murakami was killed by Konoha. I retrieved the Samehada sword from Konoha and prevented the village from suffering a loss."

With this explanation, those Jonin from Konoha, unless they're complete idiots, will cooperate with me, right?

"The head of Hozuki Village's Moon is a great achievement, far more useful than killing hundreds of Mist Ninja."

Several walrus spirit beasts tore the corpse to pieces and sucked it clean, mouthful by mouthful.

Not long after, the walruses died from poisoning.

Suigetsu Mountain Pufferfish Demon was taken aback. No wonder it went so smoothly; it turned out that Hozuki Murakami was poisoned but was pretending not to show it.

Yakushi Nonou didn't lie to herself too much, creating an opportunity for herself to seize the greatsword Samehada.

Not long after the yellow dog returned to the camp, a message also reached the camp, causing an uproar in the Konoha camp.

Hozuki Muratsuki, the strongest ninja of the Hozuki clan and a master of the Steam Explosion Technique, died in an ambush by Konoha.

Inside the command tent, Uchiha Zhong excitedly handed the scroll to Danzo:

"Advisor, Hozuki Muratsuki is really dead. Many people have seen that the Great Sword Samehada has changed hands. Suigetsu Hozuki is carrying the Great Sword Samehada on his back!"

The yellow dog's ambush was extremely successful, killing Hozuki Murazuki, the Jonin in charge of the Kirigakure sword-seizing unit, and severely damaging the Hozuki clan and Kirigakure!

Danzo glanced sideways at the scroll that Uchiha Zhong was pushing towards him, and grunted in agreement.

Uchiha Zhong's joyful expression froze on his face, then immediately turned into a blank expression.

Spending so much time with Danzo, it's impossible not to have a blank expression.

Uchiha Zhong understood that Danzo loathed him and all Uchiha.

However, Uchiha Zhong never offended Danzo.

This inexplicable hatred troubled Uchiha Zhong for many years.

Uchiha Zhong said to the staff officer, "Please have Captain Yellow Dog come and take command of the tents immediately."

The tent flap was lifted, and B, who was at the base, walked in.

Yi shook his head at Danzo, then put down a scroll.

Danzo glanced at the scroll and said that the two Root ninjas he sent to contact Yakushi Nonou and Suigetsu Hozuki had died somewhere by the sea.

The body was hidden, but B found it using parasites and destroyed its brain.

Danzo found the character 'woman' in the scroll and pointed it out to B.

Yi nodded, knowing that Lord Danzo wanted him to contact the wandering priestess.

The collaboration between Root and Suigetsu Hozuki has always been facilitated by the traveling shrine maiden.

The yellow dog won a great victory; the walking witch must know something.

When Yi left the tent, he happened to meet Huang Quan and the others who were entering the tent at the door curtain.

Ye Guang was originally following behind several Jonin, but when he saw Yi's back, his heart sank.

Is B going to investigate the deaths of the two Root members?

Aries didn't return with the main group; he went to search for the two Root ninja corpses. It's unknown whether Aries will be able to return safely.

The Aries team found two bodies in a bush by the sea.

However, the bodies had already been damaged, especially the brains of the two individuals.

The storage scroll would destroy the last remaining activity of the brain, so it wasn't sealed away beforehand to preserve evidence.

Aries thought to himself, "Oh no, I didn't hide the crucial evidence properly."

Without these two bodies, how can it be proven that Danzo's advisor deliberately leaked information?

Without evidence, accusing Danzo's advisor is tantamount to false accusation and will never end well.

Chapter 188 How Did You Steal the Yellow Dog's Words?

With a heart full of trepidation, Ye Guang entered the command tent.

The yellow dog handed over a quest scroll:

"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander, the ambush operation has been a great success."

They killed one elite Jonin from Kirigakure, Hozuki Murazuki, four other Jonin, and 337 Kirigakure ninja.
