Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu

"Danzo actually agreed to Hanzo's conditions. I will defeat Hanzo on the battlefield; I don't need to make any compromises with him at all."

"Fox, you can leave now."

Ye Guang thought to himself, "I hope you can still be this tough when you get beaten up by Hanzo."

Chapter 104 I'm about to criticize you

After traversing most of the Land of Rain, the Fox Squadron arrived at the north bank of the Yoshi River.

The Yoshimizu River originates from a large lake in the northwest of the Land of Rain, where it gathers several tributaries and flows eastward along the southern side of the Land of Rain's basin, eventually entering the Land of Rivers.

Upon arriving near the Yoshimizu River, Yoshiko saw the Yoshioka Mountains rising abruptly from the ground in the distance, majestic like a city wall.

That mountain range is what separates the Land of Rain from the Land of Wind.

The Jishui River is over 100 meters wide and has a magnificent flow.

Ye Guang found a big tree to shelter from the rain and opened the map.

The Yoshimizu River doesn't have much strategic value; however, its 100-meter width makes it suitable for water-style ninjas to build a defensive line.

Most of the Sand Ninja are Wind Release ninjas, so even if they occupy this river, they can't hold it.

As Ye Guang scanned the map, he spotted the largest village or town nearby, Tigu Town.

"Let's go to Tsutaya Town first and see if anyone in the town has seen the Sand Ninja."

Upon arriving near the town, Nightlight instructed the rest of the squad to remain hidden outside the town while he and Purple Cat disguised themselves as travelers and entered the town.

Purple Cat removed her mask, revealing a long, waterproof cloak. Her chin, visible beneath the hood, was small and smooth.

The two walked through the town of Tigu.

There were few people on the streets; many people stayed home during the heavy rain.

After walking for a while, the two sat down on a bench, observing and resting at the same time.

A small figure walks towards us in the rain from afar.

She was about eight or nine years old and was carrying a basket.

"Brother, is this lady your girlfriend? Should we give her a blue flower? It's a rare little blue flower that only grows on the banks of the Yoshino River."

Upon hearing this, the purple cat lifted its hood and looked with delight at the little blue flowers in the basket.

Seeing that the purple cat liked it, Ye Guang said, "I'll buy all your little blue flowers and give them to my girlfriend."

After paying, the little girl was very happy, and the purple cat was even happier.

Ye Guang casually asked, "Little girl, what's your name? Have you seen any unusual people lately?"

"My name is Xiao Lan. The most special thing about me is the two of you."

“Okay, besides the two of us, are there any other special people?” Ye Guang said, “We got separated from our friends in the heavy rain and are very anxious to find them.”

Xiao Lan looked at the money she had earned from selling flowers and said, "Okay, I'll take you to them!"

Xiao Lan first took the glowing umbrella to the umbrella shop in town.

"The uncle at the umbrella shop was a very special person. He always repaired the broken umbrellas and gave them to us orphans."

Seeing Xiao Lan's expectant eyes, Ye Guang had no choice but to buy two umbrellas.

Xiao Lan brought the glowing light to the bakery in town again.

"The auntie at the bakery is also special; she always gives us bread that's almost expired but still edible."

Xiao Lan looked at Ye Guang with expectant eyes again, and Ye Guang had no choice but to buy two bags of bread.

After that, Ye Guang bought shoes, gloves, and salted fish.

He even bought paper and pens because the stationery store owner would teach the orphans to write.

It's clear that this small town takes good care of its orphans.

"Alright, Xiao Lan, we can't buy any more. I can't carry any more."

Carrying large and small bags, Ye Guang had no choice but to refuse Xiao Lan's next request.

"Please, big brother, there's only one person left. The uncle who patrols the riverbank always takes us to work and then gives us some money as payment."

"The uncle patrolling the river embankment?"

A thought struck Ye Guang.

The only noteworthy feature of this town is the river embankment on its north side.

"Okay, let's go see the last person you think is special."

As they left the town, Purple Cat gestured to the squadron members in the distance, signaling them not to come any closer.

Nightlight and Purple Cat followed the little girl to the riverbank.

The patrolman came down the riverbank and saw Xiao Lan and two unfamiliar young men.

Two unfamiliar young people, carrying bags and bundles, were constantly on the move.

"Sorry, sorry," the patrolman said as he stepped forward.

"Little Blue is always like this. Because we take good care of her and a few orphans, she tries to sell the shops in town to travelers whenever she meets them."

"You didn't spend any money, did you? I can reimburse you."

Little Blue's lips twitched, and she was about to cry.

Purple Cat quickly replied, "No, no, the bread that Little Blue recommended was delicious. I ate it all on the way here."

Night Light said:

"Uncle, we are travelers from the Land of Grass. We don't know much about this place. Can the Yoshi River really be stopped by this embankment? Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

The river patrolman explained:

"The Jishui River changed its course more than a hundred years ago. After the change, a gap was left here, and the magistrate sent people to build a river embankment to close the gap."

The people of Tsutani Town are descendants of those who were forcibly conscripted into labor by the daimyo in the past.

Fortunately, this place is poor, so not many ninjas come here. If the ninjas had breached the riverbank, the town of Tsutaya and the dozen or so villages behind it would have been flooded.

Ye Guang glanced at the riverbank, then at the towering Jigang Mountains in the distance.

Do the Sand Ninja intend to do something with this riverbank?

After returning from the riverbank, Ye Guang found a hotel and stayed there with Zi Mao.

Purple Cat dried her hair and said shyly, "Captain, our squadron is all standing guard outside the town in the heavy rain. Is it not good for us to stay in a warm hotel?"

"What's wrong with that? When you get back, just say we booked two rooms, not just one, okay?"

The change of Aries from a Hyuga clan ninja to an Aburame clan ninja actually liberated Yako, giving her more freedom.

Purple Cat blushed and said, "If you emphasize it deliberately, wouldn't it be easier for people to misunderstand?"

Ye Guang picked up the purple cat around the waist and carried it to the bed.

She loosened her bath towel, revealing her long, slender legs.

"Thinking dirty thoughts is a matter for tomorrow. Your most important task today is to keep your voice down. We are the secret service, and we absolutely cannot reveal our identities, don't you agree?"

"I absolutely will not make a sound! Never!"

All night long, Purple Cat kept her lips tightly pursed and groaned, her pretty face flushed red.

She is an ANBU ninja and must not be exposed.

The investigation, which lasted for several days, yielded no results.

On the contrary, Xiao Lan, with three or four orphans, followed Ye Guang and Zi Mao, eating bread and rice balls every day, and getting fuller and fuller.

Nightlight sent the three teams apart to investigate nearby villages, but they still didn't get any information.

He had some doubts. Was Hanzo simply trying to divert the Anbu and concentrate their forces on Konoha's main force?

-

Before we knew it, it was the night of the full moon again.

There was no full moon in sight, only dark clouds covering the horizon.

Seeing Ye Guang standing by the window, Zi Mao said shyly, "Are you going to stay by the window again tonight? I'm so afraid someone will see me."

"As your squadron leader, I have to criticize you. We're here to gather intelligence, not to stay at a hotel. Tonight, of course we should stay by the window. What if we miss some important intelligence?"

Purple Cat removed her bath towel and walked to the window with her eyes full of spring sunshine, carefully hiding to the side of the window.

The morning of the second day.

Ye Guang stood by the window, gazing at the Yoshioka Mountains outside.

On the other side of the Jigang Mountains, the Gobi Desert and other deserts have a completely different climate.

Xiao Lan hurriedly ran through the street, shouting that the river patrolman had been captured by ninjas!

Nightlight put on the mask: "Purple Cat, let's go!"

After jumping out of the window, the two landed on the tallest rooftop in the vicinity.

Outside the town, Sand Ninja were fighting against more than a dozen samurai from the town.

The battle was one-sided; the samurai were no match for the sand ninja.

More and more Sand Ninjas are appearing in the distance. Where did these Sand Ninjas come from?

Chapter 105 The Sand Village's Cave

Avoiding the Sand Ninja, Nightlight and Purple Cat quickly arrived outside the town and rejoined their squadron.

Aries releases parasites, while the others use binoculars to look into the distance.

It was raining moderately, and the fog was thick, reducing visibility.

"Captain! It's Machi, an elite Jonin from Sunagakure!"

The Anbu have intelligence on important figures from other villages, and Matsu is a Jonin from Sunagakure who is worth paying attention to, famous for his Wind Release ninjutsu.

His head was wrapped in a bandage to protect it from the wind and sand, making him quite distinctive.

Unexpectedly, they encountered an elite Jonin from Sunagakure.

In the distance, Ma Che led more than a hundred Sand Ninja towards the town.

Ye Guang hurriedly said to Bai Yang, "Bai Yang! Take your team to find Captain Huang Quan and report the situation here! I'll continue reconnaissance!"

"Yes!"

Aries led the team away.

The Fox Squadron's mission was reconnaissance; it was impossible for them to deal with a large number of Sand Ninja led by an elite Jonin.

Yagami thought that Matsutsu would lead the Sand Ninja into Tsutaya Town, but Matsutsu turned around midway and rushed towards the river embankment.

Upon arriving at the riverbank, over a hundred Sand Ninja, in two large squads, were setting up explosive tags on the ground.

Instead of placing the detonating tags close to the ground, they first used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese mythology) to drill holes and then buried the detonating tags in the deep holes.

This river embankment is over fifty meters thick and over ten meters high, making it extremely sturdy.

The Sand Ninja simultaneously formed hand seals.

Explosions rang out continuously, some on the surface and some deep within the riverbank.

After the explosion, the soil swelled and softened.

The Sand Ninja rushed forward and used Earth Release techniques to completely breach the riverbank.

On the side of the river embankment, the river patrolman was tied up like a dumpling with rope and trampled underfoot by the Sand Ninja.

He was screaming something in pain, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

The Jishui River is nearly 100 meters wide. After the riverbank was blown up, the floodwaters rushed down and rushed towards Digu Town.

The ninjas' destructive power is too great. It took the ancestors of Tsutaya Town several years to build such a river embankment, but the ninjas only needed half an hour to destroy it.

Once outside the ninja village, all the common people feared and loathed the ninjas.
