Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

Lord Orochimaru is truly powerful; he discovered this very thing. This is my little trick.

To complete my mission, I just infiltrated the vicinity of Kumogakure. When some Kumo ninja pursued me, I used Reverse Summoning to instantly disappear, leaving no trace.

"Heh, infiltrating near Kumogakure?" Orochimaru's vertical pupils were filled with the delight of discovering interesting prey. He said:

"Fox, I'm not stupid. There's no need for you to use any excuses to defend me."

The issue now isn't where you just went, but that you've gained abilities that the Dark Side can't control.

Don't underestimate reverse psychic abilities.

Without the ability to reverse spirit communication, you are an elite whom the Dark Division absolutely trusts.

With your reverse psychic abilities, even the yellow dog can't know your location.

I used to frequent Yongji-dong and hang out around it, so I can imagine your extraordinary agility now.

Out of control. To the yellow dog, you've lost control.

Ye Guang quickly said, "My loyalty to the Hokage and the Yellow Dog Minister is something that even Orochimaru cannot question!"

Ye Guang felt somewhat uneasy.

Orochimaru was telling the truth; his summoning beasts could use reverse summoning techniques, meaning he could leave Konoha without the village's permission and appear beside his summoning beasts.

Yellow Dog will doubt himself, the Third Hokage will doubt himself, and everything he has done in Konoha Village could be exposed.

"Loyalty?" Orochimaru chuckled strangely.

"You, Yagami, aren't a member of the Sarutobi clan. You don't really think that just because you shout about loyalty, even if you shout until you're hoarse, the Third Hokage and his son will actually trust you, do you?"

Ye Guang was taken aback. Orochimaru had called out his real name?

His real name doesn't really matter. He has no relatives or friends, and his only connection in Konoha Village is with Qiaoyi and Shionao Yamanaka Ri.

Orochimaru had investigated me beforehand; this was troublesome.

"I'm not sure if the Hokage trusts me, but Captain Yellow Dog definitely trusts me."

"Yoru, don't be so foolish. Don't lower my opinion of you." Orochimaru said with disdain in his eyes.

"Shinnosuke Sarutobi trusts you because you are truly capable."

You don't really think they trust you, do you?

You don't actually think the Water Release: Water Severing Wave you got is the same Water Severing Wave created by the Second Mizukage, do you?

Ye Guang was taken aback. Was there something wrong with his Water Release: Water Severing Wave?

Upon closer examination, the way chakra is circulated does indeed undergo a significant change after obtaining the mastery level of Water Severing Wave.

He mastered it instantly with the help of the system, but he hasn't figured out the underlying principles yet.

Orochimaru continued:

"Hehe, the Water Severing Wave you got is a degraded version of the Water Severing Wave designed by Hiruzen Sarutobi."

The most crucial aspect of ninjutsu is the way chakra is circulated. Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, used his talent for teaching ninjutsu in reverse to create a series of inferior versions of ninjutsu.

We can't expect you to learn the same ninjutsu as the people he truly trusts, can we?

Knowledge is also a form of power.

In my opinion, knowledge, that is, ninjutsu, is far more important than any Jonin title.

Sometimes I feel sorry for you. Hiruzen Sarutobi gave you a degraded version of a ninjutsu, but you treated it like a treasure.

Their trust in you is limited. Come on, let me show you what real water wave breaking is!

What is the ultimate water escaping technique invented by the Second Hokage?!

Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, and a beam of water shot out, slicing through the mountain above the cave entrance.

In his previous life, Ye Guang hadn't paid much attention during the battle, but now he noticed that Orochimaru's Water Severing Wave was thinner and faster than his own.

In other words, it wasn't that Orochimaru's Water Severing Wave was stronger, but rather that what he received was a degraded version.

No wonder Ye Guang's Water Severing Wave, which he practiced so diligently for so long, was not as powerful as Orochimaru's.

He was using his own improved version of the Double Vortex Water Breaker, but its power was not even as good as the original second-generation Water Breaker.

Fortunately, I drew the mastered version of Water Severing Wave from Orochimaru, which made up for the deficiency.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Inu Kyouka were indeed on guard against him.

Orochimaru said, "Haven't you realized yet? The ANBU captain is already your ceiling."

Night Light frowned. Was the Dark Division Captain already his ceiling? How did Orochimaru come to this conclusion?

That won't do. Ye Guang is also planning to become the deputy minister and the head of the Dark Department.

Orochimaru continued:

"You don't have the surname Sarutobi, so you'll never be able to get into their core."

Your fate is to diligently complete missions for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and then die quietly during one of those missions.

Let alone you, even I can't get into the true core of Konoha.

You don't think I'm trusted by the Third Hokage, do you?

The true rulers of Konoha are the few surviving bodyguards of the Second Hokage, namely Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.

I was merely someone pushed out by the Third Hokage to compete against Sakumo Hatake.

It's still uncertain who the Third Hokage will choose as Hokage.

These past few years, I've had a fierce and heated battle with Sakumo Hatake. In a few years, or even a decade or more, perhaps someone else will become Hokage.

I can tell whether the Third Hokage was just saying it or if he really wanted me to become Hokage.

The chances of Shimura Danzo, or even Sarutobi Shinnosuke, becoming Hokage are far greater than mine and Hatake Sakumo's.

So that's how it is. Orochimaru has such a clear understanding of his own position.

He also felt that the position of Fourth Hokage wouldn't be enough to make Orochimaru risk everything.

Yagami noticed that Orochimaru was talking so much, but he didn't seem to have any murderous intent.

He asked, "Lord Orochimaru, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Finally you can relax?" Orochimaru said.

"Don't take the village too seriously, and don't take the Will of Fire too seriously."

The village is their village, not our village.

The Will of Fire is their Will of Fire, not ours.

The reason I cooperated with the Third Hokage and Sakumo Hatake in the arena was simply to obtain more resources more easily.

Fox, you're a smart one; you know how to keep some cards up your sleeve.

I acknowledge your abilities.

Actually, I've been watching you for months, and I've finally caught you red-handed.

Don't use your recent infiltration near Kumogakure as an excuse. Where you just went is irrelevant; what matters is that you've lost control of the higher-ups.

If you lose control, you will be doomed to die in the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and his son.

Why not cooperate with me?

Everything is illusory; only power is real.

By cooperating with me, I don't need you to play the game of loyalty to me; it's simply a matter of mutual benefit.

You provide what I need, and I'll give you what you need.

"You become my mole in the shadows, and we'll exchange benefits, how about it?"

Humanity is awake! Orochimaru!

Chapter 240 More money is needed

"Everything is an illusion; only power is real..."

Ye Guang pondered those words repeatedly, feeling admiration for Orochimaru.

After admiration, a sense of confusion arose in Ye Guang's heart.

He firmly believed that he was now Huang Quan's number one subordinate and that Huang Quan couldn't do without him.

It now seems that Orochimaru was right; the yellow dog had limited trust in him.

In the eyes of the yellow dog, he was a sharp ninja sword, invincible.

Apart from that, there's nothing special.

There was a problem with the foundation of trust between myself and Huang Quan. I started as an ordinary ninja in the Anbu and grew up unexpectedly by outlasting or outliving one squad leader or company commander after another.

As for their seemingly good relationship with the third generation, that's even more unbelievable.

Other things can be faked, but the power of water breaking waves cannot be faked.

The identity of the Big Fox as the leader of the Dark Division was originally his most important identity.

This realization crumbled; I had taken the role of squad leader too seriously.

In Yu Jia's view, she was an undercover agent sent by the Senju clan to the Dark Division to secretly help the Uzumaki clan.

In Huang Quan's view, he was an elite member of the dark side who had unexpectedly grown up.

In Sakumo Hatake's eyes, he was a like-minded comrade who secretly helped Sakumo Hatake in the dark.

Now, he's going to become an undercover agent for Orochimaru again?

How many undercover agents are we going to infiltrate?

Night Light now possesses the strength of an elite Jonin, and Orochimaru, instead of offering to recruit him as a subordinate, has instead proposed a cooperative relationship with him, which shows considerable sincerity.

Instead of feigning loyalty and trust with others, it's better to make a clear and equal exchange with Orochimaru.

As long as one is useful enough, Orochimaru is trustworthy.

The young man is not deceived.

Ye Guang gritted his teeth and did it.

Orochimaru was right. No matter how perfect the excuse he made for the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, from the perspective of the higher-ups, not being able to determine his location meant that things were out of control.

Perhaps we should agree with Orochimaru first.

"Lord Orochimaru, how should we cooperate?"

"Very good, you've finally figured it out," Orochimaru said.

“I will state my core demands.”

My core demand is to gain the opportunity to browse the Book of Seals.

This is an opportunity that Hiruzen Sarutobi would never give me.

Danzo promised me that if I could discover the secrets of Wood Release for him, he would show me the Book of Seals of Konoha.

The Book of Seals contains all the forbidden techniques of Konoha Village, especially those created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The Book of Seals is my ultimate goal.

Or rather, the secret of the most advanced ninjutsu in the ninja world is my core objective.

I'll keep your secret of reverse psychic abilities in exchange for you becoming my undercover agent.

There's no limit to our cooperation, as long as you can help me obtain the Book of Seals.

"Don't even mention a reverse spirit summoning technique; if you were to assassinate the Third Hokage, I'd applaud you."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Guang asked, puzzled:

"Lord Orochimaru, based on my understanding of the Anbu, they have far fewer secrets than Root. What secrets do you need me to infiltrate and investigate?"

Orochimaru said, "No, the Anbu has many secrets."

For example, when will Sarutobi Shinnosuke master the Five Elements Great Combo?

Why is it that after the chakra is divided into 5 parts from 1, the Five Elements Great Barrage can still unleash power far exceeding 1?
