Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

Purple Cat felt sad: "Let's go, I'll take you to find Squad Leader Fox. He'll decide your code name and assign you a mask."

The two entered the fox's office.

Purple Cat said, "Captain, the new recruits don't have code names or masks yet."

As Ye Guang pondered, the wait was long when he went to the Root to take the newcomer away. The newcomer was taken by Bing to see Danzo.

Could it be...?

"I understand. I'll talk to the newcomer alone first to see what she's good at, and then decide which team she should join. Purple Cat, you can go ahead and get busy."

After the purple cat left, Ye Guang casually asked some questions about Yamanaka Ryu to put her at ease.

Ryu Yamanaka said she was skilled in the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, and had also learned some medical ninjutsu.

Beneath the table, the luminescence had already formed a mark.

The Magical Nirvana Abode Technique!

With Nightlight's current strength, even Yamanaka Ryu, an elite Chunin-level ninja, cannot resist Nightlight's genjutsu.

Feathers drifted down, and Yamanaka Ryu instantly fell asleep.

Ye Guang quickly stepped forward, supported Yamanaka Ryu, and carried her to the table.

He removed Yamanaka Ryu's mask and saw a handsome but pale face.

She looks a lot like Rika Yamanaka, but is younger and has more collagen.

Nightlight pinched Yamanaka Ryu's face, making her stick out her tongue.

Seeing that there was nothing on his tongue, Ye Guang didn't believe it.

He formed a hand seal and casually used a dispelling technique.

"Five Elements Unsealing!"

The unsealing techniques corresponding to the Five Elements Seals are used to break the chakra restrictions.

It is only because of the special chakra of Night Light and the powerful sealing attribute brought by the Uzumaki bloodline that the Tongue Calamity Seal can be activated.

Ryu Yamanaka turned his head uncomfortably, but did not wake up.

On her tongue, a curse mark appeared: the seal of the severing of the root of tongue calamity!

The Dun hexagram in the Sixty-Four Hexagrams consists of two yin lines and four yang lines.

Ye Guang's face was gloomy.

He was prepared to let Danzo off the hook for the time being, to give Danzo a chance to catch his breath, but Danzo did not give him that opportunity.

They actually carved the seal of "the root of all evil" on Yamanaka Ryu.

If nothing unexpected happens, Danzo wants Yamanaka Ryu to gather intelligence for him.

Danzo's greatest asset was his intelligence network.

Danzo possessed all of Konoha's secret intelligence.

The Root organization suffered heavy losses, and Danzo's intelligence system malfunctioned.

It's unclear whether Danzo was gathering intelligence on the Anbu or targeting him personally.

When Yamanaka Ryu woke up, he found himself standing against the wall.

“You’re awake,” Ye Guang said. “It seems the training at Root has been very intense, leaving you so weak.”

"You should rest with Purple Cat for the next couple of days. Once you've rested enough, I'll arrange for you to join a squad."

After the purple cat left, Nightlight came into the corridor.

I sensed that the Golden Eagle squad was not at the root base.

He sneaked into the Golden Eagle squad's locker room.

The newcomer is wiping his ninja sword.

Feathers began to fall, and the newcomer quickly became drowsy.

After removing the mask, Ye Guang used the Five Elements Unsealing Seal to stimulate the curse seal and saw that the person also had the seal of "Tongue Disaster Extinction" on their tongue.

In the middle of the night, Ye Guang walked out of his office and discovered that there were three people in the Black Ant squad's locker room.

Infiltrating the Black Ant squad's locker room, three new recruits wearing white faceless masks were leaning against the corner of the wall.

The attack still begins with the Magical Nirvana Abode technique.

Without the strength of a Jonin, one cannot counter Nightlight's genjutsu.

Ye Guang examined the three men one by one and found that all three had the mark of "the root of trouble in the tongue."

In other words, when the yellow dog went to demand the people, Danzo had already placed the "Tongue Twister Seal" on all five newcomers after waiting for so long.

The bad news is that Danzo has planted spies around him.

The good news is that Danzo wasn't targeting himself; he was targeting everyone in the Anbu.

The Black Ant Squad, in particular, was the Third Hokage's most trusted squad. They were responsible for protecting the Hokage Building, relaying orders, and analyzing intelligence.

With three new recruits joining three squads, what other secrets does the Black Ant Squad hold?

Ye Guang did not report these problematic newcomers to Huang Quan.

He could get Yuka Uzumaki to help him research ways to break the seal, but Yellow Dog didn't have that kind of convenience.

Let them fight! It would be better if Danzo and the Third Hokage fought, so that he could take advantage of the chaos.

Yagami is preparing to go to the Land of Hot Springs. First, she will assist Hatake Sakumo in gaining reputation, thus avoiding the period when Danzo is acting like a mad dog and biting people indiscriminately.

Chapter 255 Remnants of the Whirlpool

Ryūya Yamanaka received the White Crane Mask.

“Purple Cat, you will stay in the Anbu for this operation to train White Crane. She is not familiar with Anbu affairs yet, and going to the Land of Hot Springs rashly may lead to danger.”

"Okay, Captain."

But Baihe said from the side, "Captain! Please let me go to the front line! I can fight for the Dark Division!"

Ye Guang thought to himself, "You can fight for the Dark Division, but I dare not let you fight for me."

My little affair—who could possibly be brought to light?

Ye Guang said coldly, "Bai He, this is the last time I'm emphasizing this!"

You are an ANBU ninja. No matter what orders I give you, you have only one choice: to carry them out.

I don't want to see you contradict me a second time, otherwise, the consequences will be severe.

I have the authority to immediately remove you from the Anbu, even send you to trial, and strip you of your ninja number; you won't be able to be a ninja anymore.

Upon hearing the fox squad leader's reprimand, the white crane lowered its head.

After the Fox Squad assembled, the four smaller squads, including Aries, set off for the Land of Hot Springs.

At the root base, Bing reported to Danzang.

"Lord Danzo, Sakumo Hatake has led four battalions away from the village and is heading towards the border of the Land of Hot Springs."

The Fox Squad of the Dark Division also left.

However, the fox did not take the white crane with him, leaving it at the Dark Division base.

It's possible that the fox taught the white crane and knew that the white crane was not good at fighting, so it left the white crane at the base.

It's also possible... the fox discovered something.

In the darkness, half of Danzo's face appeared in the light:

"Judging from the normal operation of other secret agents, Fox should not have discovered the seal of the 'Tongue Disaster' that I carved. Otherwise, given Fox's loyalty to Yellow Dog, he would definitely have reported it."

It's more likely that it will allow the sisters in the mountains to reunite and temporarily avoid taking risks.

Putting aside the matter of Hakutsuru, what's the situation with Orochimaru?

Bing said, "Advisor Mitokado Homura and Orochimaru have already led the lynx squad to the Land of Grass, and they should have just arrived in the heart of the Land of Grass by now."

After more than ten days of travel, Mitokado Homura and Orochimaru entered the camp of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass.

Mitokado Homura went to contact the daimyo of the Land of Grass to appease him, while Orochimaru launched an investigation.

Several guardian ninjas quickly stepped forward, and one of them, Hyuga Shin, handed over a scroll containing the preliminary investigation report they had obtained.

Orochimaru had already read Root's report; Shin Hyuga's report was simply more detailed.

Orochimaru entered the daimyo's tent.

The tent remained as it was, and even Shimura Kotobuki's body was still there, covered with embalming agents, and had not been moved.

Orochimaru first came to one side of the tent and saw that the tent had been slashed open with a knife.

Hyuga Shin quickly said, "Lord Orochimaru, the culprit broke into the tent from here."

Orochimaru looked towards the daimyo's chair through the opening in the tent.

Using the assassination of the daimyo as bait to lure Shimura Kotobuki close?

He then swiftly killed Shimura Kotobuki.

He overwhelmed Shimura Kotobuki with his physical skills, and then finished him off with a fast-moving Fire Release at close range.

Shimura Kotobuki's Body Flicker Technique is highly skilled, yet he couldn't dodge it, proving that the culprit's Fire Release technique is very fast.

Orochimaru arrived at the scene of the battle and looked down at the footprints on the ground.

"The fight between the murderer and Shimura Kotobuki almost always took place within a second or two in the air; the only visible traces on the ground were the footprints of their single leap," Orochimaru said.

"The enemy's fire jutsu is very strong. In such a short time, they must have simplified the hand seals."

Orochimaru suddenly remembered the Water Gun Technique he had obtained from the fox.

That secret technique is very difficult to learn; Orochimaru hasn't mastered it yet.

Judging from the burn marks, the culprit used Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is the signature ninjutsu of the Sarutobi clan.

When Konoha was founded, Sarutobi Sasuke, the head of the Sarutobi clan, responded to the First Hokage's call and taught some of his clan's ninjutsu to the other ninjas in the village.

Fire Dragon Flame Bullet and Great Fireball are arguably the two most widely used Fire Release ninjutsu in Konoha.

The possibility of a member of the Sarutobi clan being involved cannot be ruled out.

The ninjutsu with seven hand seals, perhaps the murderer found a more efficient way to circulate chakra through the meridians, simplifying it to a maximum of three hand seals... no, it must be less than three hand seals, two hand seals or even one hand seal.

With this level of fire-style technique, one will always be one step ahead in ninja battles.

Orochimaru said to the Anbu, "Collect this corpse; the information on it is limited."

He asked Shin Hinata, "Have you seen the culprit?"

Shin Hinata shook his head: "I was the first one to be knocked unconscious, I didn't see anything."

The killer moved through the smoke bombs, seemingly unaffected by the smoke, possessing a special ability to sense things.

The possibility that he couldn't possibly master pupil techniques is too low.

However, Lord Orochimaru, three diversionary soldiers have appeared in the southeast of the camp to attract attention.

I saw three people, but they were all wearing masks with special seals on them. I couldn't see through the masks and couldn't see their faces.

The warriors at the edge of the camp said they saw three people in the distance, all wearing demon masks.

Orochimaru's interest was immediately piqued: "A sealing technique that can isolate the Byakugan? Targeting the Shimura clan and enemies of Root..."

He sketched out a rough outline of the enemy.

He possesses exceptional ninjutsu skills, his accomplices are adept at sealing techniques—so powerful they can even counter the Byakugan—and are considered top-tier sealing ninjas. He also harbors hatred towards Root and the Shimura clan…

Orochimaru suddenly laughed. There were many people who hated Root and the Shimura clan, but with so many factors combined, it wasn't hard to guess.

The killer's accomplices are remnants of the Vortex faction. The killer's identity is unknown, but he has a deep connection with the Vortex faction.

If Yagami knew Orochimaru's inner thoughts, he would surely sigh, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever."

Every place leaves a trace.
