Naruto: Climbing Ranks to Rule the Ninja World! - Chapter 13

Chapter 13 the Curtain Slowly Opens

“Oh, there’s a new mission!”

“This time you are going to the border of the Water Country. Something unexpected happened there.”

Originally Shihouin Naraku thought that after reporting the mission, he could go back to rest, but before he left, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him a new mission.

Damn!

Laozi just came back!

I fought with a bunch of people and finally won.

I haven’t even had a chance to catch my breath after coming back, and you’re asking me to leave the village?

“Oh, don’t worry.” Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and smoked his pipe, “We can leave before tonight.”

Then Laozi should thank you?

Naraku cursed and turned away, Anbu was actually busier than the medical department!

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did not care about Naraku’s dissatisfaction. After all, the other party was also from the Hokage lineage, and these were all trivial matters.

“So let’s just wait for that guy Orochimaru to come and comfort the old man!”

Naraku walked out of the Hokage building, stopping the curses he was saying and looking back at the Hokage building behind him.

“After all, it is the tradition of the Hokage for the apprentice to kill his master. This is also considered maintaining the tradition.”

Because of the new mission, Shihouin Naraku did not stay in the village for long and soon set off with the Anbu team.

However, he replaced Anbu with other members and took them with him to the border of the Water Country for the mission.

This can also be considered a familiarity process. After completing two missions, he will be almost familiar with his subordinates.

……

Arriving at the border of the Water Country, Naraku separated from his subordinates and gathered intelligence everywhere.

“He was wearing a black windbreaker with red clouds painted on it…”

“Well, there’s a long scratch on the forehead protector…”

“……”

Isn’t this the uniform of Akatsuki?

According to what this person said about the forehead protector, it must be Kakuzu…

Naraku was stunned when he heard the information told by the civilians, and then he reacted immediately.

He didn’t expect that he would run into people from Akatsuki during an ordinary mission!

He casually gave the civilian some money, and after he left, Naraku carefully recalled his memories.

At this time, the Akatsuki organization…

He should still be recruiting people, taking on dangerous missions from various countries, and then saving money to buy detonating talismans for Sister Nan.

“Wait, let me think who appeared first?”

That’s Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame!

That was after Orochimaru launched the ‘Konoha Collapse Plan’, and Uchiha Itachi appeared to warn Danzo not to attack Uchiha Sasuke.

“Why do I feel like the curtain of the Hokage world is slowly opening…”

Thinking of this, Naraku also felt a little excited, it was the thought of witnessing a historical scene with his own eyes.

Soon the other members of Konoha Anbu also found the place to fight, and Naraku rushed over.

“Lord Long, according to our investigation, a fierce battle took place here…”

“Both sides released four types of ninjutsu including Lightning Style, Fire Style, Water Style and Earth Style, and also had close combat!”

When Naraku arrived at the battle site, he realized that it was indeed Kakuzu fighting an enemy here.

Other ninjutsu are fine, but the damage that Fire Style caused to the environment here is obviously the result of Fire Style’s hard work!

Naraku had just used this jutsu when fighting with the Iwagakure ninja before, so he was very familiar with it.

Scanning the traces around him, Naraku looked at them with interest.

“It’s very powerful!”

“This range is outrageous enough, that is…”

The Fire Style·Headstrong released by Kakuzu was indeed very powerful, but Naraku carefully looked at the surrounding environment and felt that it didn’t seem to be that powerful either.

“Is it because of the Mera-mera Fruit’s enhancement of Fire Style?”

“Or did Kakuzu not actually use his full strength?”

After thinking for a while, Naraku suddenly became interested in the ninja who was fighting Kakuzu. Who was fighting him?

The fact that he could fight to this extent meant that his opponent was at least a Jōnin, otherwise he would have been killed by the horns long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to cause such great damage to the surroundings.

However, at this time, in order to save money, the Akatsuki organization accepted very dangerous missions, some of which were even war-level, so it was normal that the opponents were stronger.

Of course, in the end, it was clear that Kakuzu won.

“This mission is unexpectedly simple…”

That’s not right, if they had shown up earlier, they would have most likely run into Kakuzu directly!

Then the mission this time is not easy at all!

In the early stage, Naraku had a conflict with Kakuzu, and he didn’t know whether he could defeat him.

However, he is very aware of Kakuzu’s weaknesses, and if he is careful and unintentional, he still has a good chance of winning.

After continuing to gather intelligence with his subordinates, Naraku brought Anbu back to Konohagakure.

In the following days, Naraku began to go on missions frequently.

It was indeed tiring, but he managed to get all the information about his subordinates in the shortest possible time.

……

On this day, Naraku had been busy for a long time and finally had some free time.

After two days of good rest and deepening his relationship with Uzuki Yugao, Naraku began to get busy with his own business.

After visiting the ninja tool shop and buying the materials he needed, Naraku returned to Anbu.

After some adjustments and using the purchased ingredients, Naraku made a small bottle of red juice.

This red juice is one of the necessary props to unlock the seal that will eradicate the root of tongue troubles.

That’s right, Naraku is going to remove the Seal of the Tongue from several ninjas who were originally from the Root Organization!

Of course, not all.

During this period of time, Naraku has also realized that not all members of the Root Organization are loyal to Danzo!

Some ninjas submitted to Danzo because of his former power, while others had to obey him because they were threatened by Danzo for family reasons.

There were even some ninjas who were originally loyal to Danzo, but became increasingly dissatisfied with the Root organization’s dark and cruel ways, and were actually very happy to return to Anbu.

For these people, Naraku decided to selectively release them from the Seal of the Tongue.

Anyway, the secret they are hiding is about Danzo, not his, so he is not afraid of revealing it.

The key is, after solving it, maybe he can get some unexpected gains.

“Let Yue come to see me!”

“yes!”

In the past period of time, Anbu was very busy because it had to accept missions very frequently. Now it is a little easier, with not so many missions. However, many people are at the Anbu base.

There was a knock on the door outside the room soon. This rhythmic knock was the characteristic of “Yue”.

“Come in!”

“Excuse me!”

Yue, with her long hair tied behind her back, stood quietly in front of Naraku.

Yamanaka month!

This is a ninja from the Yamanaka clan!

Because the Yamanaka clan’s ninjas are good at controlling the enemy’s mind, they can easily enter the mind of the dead and read the other party’s memory. They can also use this to transmit intelligence messages and even have top-level perception abilities.

Therefore, the Yamanaka clan is an absolutely indispensable talent for the Anbu and Root organizations!

Needless to say, perception ability is of great use in all aspects.

The ability to read other people’s memories is extremely powerful, and it can be said to be the most suitable means of interrogation. After all, even if you are dead, as long as the body is still there, key information can be obtained from it!

Shihouin Naraku manages the ‘Corpse Disposal Team’ in the Medical Department. The role of this team is to deal with corpses and prevent the Yamanaka clan from being able to obtain intelligence from corpses.

Even for this reason, the corpse disposal team often contributes outstanding talents to Anbu.

From these things we can see the key to the Yamanaka month.

Why did Naraku choose to help her remove the seal of eradicating tongue evil?
