Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

The Five Elements Great Combo has always been my regret. I painstakingly trained to develop five chakra natures for this technique, but Hiruzen Sarutobi never taught me it.

For example, the Book of Seals is located next to the Hokage's office and is guarded by the Black Ant Squad.

Gather intelligence on the Black Ant Squad and inform me of the defensive situation of the Book of Seals.

Although Danzo promised me a chance to browse the Book of Seals, if possible, I'd rather seize it myself and read it at my own pace.

Night Light nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Lord Orochimaru. Please wait for my investigation. These things cannot be investigated in just a few months."

Orochimaru continued, "You must also do your best to gather information about the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, and hold nothing back."

"With this mission a success, I have more say with the higher-ups."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Orochimaru doesn't care about the village at all, and he doesn't even care about the position of Fourth Hokage."

This is an extremely clear-headed, cold-blooded, and selfish person whose sole goal is to pursue power.

Orochimaru probably wouldn't betray himself for the sake of the pointless Will of Fire.

Honest and fair, based on mutual consent, without any empty promises or pretense of the Will of Fire, this kind of cooperation is likely to last a long time.

As for when Orochimaru sold him out... Orochimaru should worry about how long he can stay in Konoha first.

After the negotiations ended, Orochimaru scanned Yagami with greedy eyes, making Yagami's scalp tingle.

What's the fuss about?

"Fox..." Orochimaru's voice was filled with longing: "You have no idea how alluring you are..."

Ye Guang was taken aback. "Hiss... something's not right. Orochimaru wouldn't be lusting after my body, would he?"

Orochimaru said, "There are only two people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who are proficient in both Earth Release and Water Release, and have the strength of an elite Jonin or above."

One is you, and the other is me.

I really look forward to meeting you in the lab someday. You have no idea how well your abilities are suited for Wood Release experiments…”

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Is it my ability that's suitable, or is it me as a person?"

Is it suitable for your experiment, or suitable as experimental material?

You really are lusting after my body!

Ye Guang said, "Lord Orochimaru, I have other uses. As for being an experimental subject, let's think about it some more."

Orochimaru chuckled and sank into the ground.

Even though Ye Guang was staring at Orochimaru, he couldn't sense any fluctuations in chakra.

Orochimaru's Earth Release technique for infiltration is ridiculously strong.

Two days later, Bing hurriedly arrived at Orochimaru's side.

"Lord Orochimaru! Ki, Geng, and the others have discovered the culprit behind the assassination of the Root ninja and have notified me via ninja hawks!"

But when I tried to contact Ji, Geng, and the others using Ninja Hawk, I found they were out of contact. Were they killed?

Orochimaru's expression changed visibly, and he said, "Go and contact me again to get definite information."

Bing hurriedly ran to the top of the mountain and released a new ninja hawk.

After Bing had walked away, Orochimaru turned to look at the fox:

"I thought you were just being a little unruly in secret, at most making some small moves."

Killing Root ninjas...this is a bit beyond my expectations; this is no small feat.

"Innocent! Lord Orochimaru! It was all a coincidence! I used the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to escape the Cloud Ninja's attack." Nightlight said without batting an eye.

"Lord Orochimaru, you know me well. If I really wanted to kill a Root ninja, I wouldn't be alive to complain to you."

Night Light looked at Orochimaru with a determined gaze; he couldn't let this blame fall on him.

I did do it, but I can't take the blame.

"Fox, the plan has changed," Orochimaru said.

Working as a spy for me in the shadows is not enough for me to help you conceal such a huge secret.

"If Root dies near me, then your secret is quite big."

Ye Guang was terrified that Orochimaru's next words would be, "I need to pay more."

With unwavering conviction, Ye Guang said, "Lord Orochimaru, I did nothing. Betraying Lord Yellow Dog for you is my limit, absolutely enough for you to help me keep the secret. I can't go any further!"

Half a day later, Bing hurriedly came down from the mountaintop.

"Lord Orochimaru! We haven't received any messages for several hours; it's safe to assume we've all perished..."

Orochimaru said, "Oh, since they're dead, we don't need to worry about them."

We're continuing our investigation into Burubi. Have you contacted Yakushi Nonou yet?

Bing swallowed hard. Those were four Root ninjas! Orochimaru just casually ignored them?

Bing said, "Please allow me to inform Root that four Root ninjas have been killed. This matter is no less important than Burubi's investigation!"

Orochimaru wanted to deal with Bing, who was causing him trouble. He turned to look at the fox and thought he could talk to the fox again, so he gestured for Bing to go quickly.

After Bing left again, Orochimaru looked at the fox.

That clearly meant that I'm a person who keeps my promises; if I said I'd help you cover it up, I would.

Four Root ninjas were nothing special experimental subjects, so their deaths were no big deal.

However, we cannot easily let go of the opportunity for cooperation.

Nightlight reiterated: "Lord Orochimaru, the deaths of those four Root ninjas have absolutely nothing to do with me!"

It doesn't matter if I look again, I will never admit it.

Orochimaru stated bluntly, "Your absolute defense Earth Release technique."

“Impossible, absolutely impossible.” Ye Guang said, “The improved Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear can be released with just one hand seal.”

"Your absolute defense earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of secret technique)."

"Isn't even one seal technique enough for you?" Nightlight simply increased the price: "Sealless Secret Technique, Water Iron Cannon Technique."

"make a deal."

All collaborations are a large-scale 'pay-to-win' game.

Asking for an exorbitant price, then negotiating on the spot.

Orochimaru's requirements were that simple and unpretentious.

Ye Guang took out a scroll and wrote down the chakra circulation method of the Water Gun Technique.

Orochimaru glanced at the scroll and accepted it with satisfaction.

Four Root ninja corpses can be exchanged for a single ninjutsu without hand seals—a huge profit.

Bing came down from the mountaintop again and rushed anxiously toward Orochimaru.

Orochimaru said coldly, "Don't let the death of a person delay you. After informing Root, continue the investigation into Brubi."

Bing wanted to say something more, but seeing Orochimaru's cold gaze, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

The moonlight brings satisfaction; this is the art of trading.

Orochimaru is someone you can get along with.

Bing took Orochimaru and the fox to find Yakushi Nonou.

He exuded a sense of fear and unease.

Their proud identity as Root ninjas was seen by some as grounds for targeted killings on several occasions.

Especially now, Orochimaru, a member of Root, seems completely unconcerned about the deaths of the four Root ninjas.

He naively believed that Orochimaru would stand up for the Root ninjas during this mission.

After approaching Kumogakure Village by more than ten kilometers, the group met Yakushi Nonou in a mountain cave.

This time, Yakushi Nonou disguised herself as an old woman with a wrinkled face, a hunched back, and trembling legs. She was so realistic that if you met her on the street, you would want to rush over and help her cross the road.

Even his voice became hoarse:

"Lord Orochimaru, C1, a fox jonin, the Eight-Tails is much stronger and more violent than the Two-Tails."

Brubi's seal is not stable, far inferior to that of Ryuujin.

Burubi lives on a solitary mountain peak on the southwestern edge of Kumogakure.

Once you reach the southwestern edge of Kumogakure, you'll be able to see that mountain peak.

As for Brubi's guards, they are an elite ANBU squadron. I can't get the squadron's roster, but they must be quite strong.

It would take the Third Raikage about a minute to get from the Raikage Building to Burubi's residence.

Orochimaru nodded and said, "That's good. We have location information, the approximate number of guards, and the arrival time of the Third Raikage. This information is sufficient."

Yakushi Nonou truly lived up to her reputation as Danzo's most valued spy; she even managed to uncover this secret of Kumogakure.

Orochimaru said, "Yakushi Nonou, plan a route for me. I will use Earth Release with the fox to infiltrate Kumogakure and find the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Ye Guang was taken aback. They really had to go. The Third Raikage could arrive in a minute.

When I was investigating the Ryuujin with Sakumo Hatake, we never actually fought.

Then, thinking that Orochimaru knew he had the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, he realized he still had to bow down.

If we're going to cooperate with Orochimaru, we have to demonstrate sufficient value.

Orochimaru likes geniuses, not trash.

Yakushi Nonou looked at the fox, but Yako did not respond.

The information provided to him by Yakushi Nonou was incorrect; it wasn't just two Root ninjas who went to the Land of Iron, but a full four.

The intelligence was wrong, which almost killed You Jia and others.

I need to find an opportunity to make Yakushi Nonou understand that harming him comes at a price.

In the middle of the night, Orochimaru and Yagami arrived outside Kumogakure.

The buildings of Kumogakure are situated on the mountainside or summit of various mountains, covering an area that is almost ten times the size of Konoha.

The village has no walls; the outermost ring of mountains is used as outposts, which serve as the village's boundary.

Orochimaru and Yagami sank into the ground together.

The route provided by Pharmacist Nono is a blind spot that cannot be monitored during guard duty changes.

They quickly burrowed into the ground, and Ye Guang and Orochimaru emerged from the top of a low hill.

The high mountain opposite the low hill is where Brubi, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, lives.

Orochimaru said, "I'll infiltrate and deal with Burubi. You'll be responsible for dealing with the Anbu squad and stopping the Third Raikage at the same time."

"I try my best."

The two disappeared into the ground again.

Orochimaru moved incredibly fast through the soil, faster than Ye Guang, like a serpent.

Unlike Orochimaru's "Fish Reflected in the Soil" technique, Orochimaru's technique is more sophisticated; its exact nature is unknown.

Inside the cave bedroom, Brubi was fast asleep, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Orochimaru appeared beside Burubi, holding a genjutsu pill in his hand, and fed it into Burubi's mouth.

"You should feel fortunate. This is a secret medicine prepared for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but it has been used on you in order to suppress Hatake Sakumo."

Danzo considered all sorts of underhanded tactics to deal with the Senju clan, and directly targeting the Nine-Tails was one of his backup plans.

Orochimaru stared at Brubi, thinking to himself that it would be good to get some research materials on the Eight-Tails, since the Eight-Tails was one of the top combat forces in the ninja world.

Brubi's face grew increasingly pale, sometimes burning red and steaming, sometimes turning bluish-purple and oozing blood.

A terrifying roar of a giant beast echoed through the cave!

Brubi completely lost consciousness, and at the same time, the Eight-Tails' chakra uncontrollably and violently overflowed.

In just a few seconds, the unconscious Brubi was lifted up by four thick octopus tails.
