Chapter 10: Gotta Kill Him Quick
His vision went black, and the scenery changed.
Yoru woke up on the small boat and arrived at the full moon night just after landing in the Land of Waves.
He adjusted his fox mask; the feeling of being burned to death in his previous life was still fresh.
His face burned hotly, his own flesh and blood melted and charred.
“Fox, get off the boat quickly!”
Unlike his previous life, Yoru dawdled a bit and didn’t jump off the small boat immediately; he was urged by the captain.
Yoru remembered that Antelope Captain absolutely didn’t say this in his previous life.
After resurrection, most things would follow the plot development, but his certain actions or changes would bring different situations, which was something Yoru didn’t want to see.
Before reaching the time of death from his previous life, he must be careful and try to follow his previous life’s path as much as possible, so he could have the plot advantage.
Yoru took another look at Antelope Captain, extremely wary of the captain’s hidden Fire Release.
Too insidious, actually hiding his ability without even telling his subordinate.
In a squad, they should know each other’s roots and bottoms, cooperating with each other.
If the team member doesn’t know the captain’s abilities and strength, he might make wrong choices because of it; isn’t that treating human lives like grass?
Anbu extremely emphasizes loyalty; everyone is monitored by other Anbu, and Antelope Captain is also guarding against the few team members.
Antelope Captain glanced at Fox; wasn’t it just urging him? Why did Fox’s gaze feel strange.
【Moon Arc activated!
The host has one resurrection opportunity per month and will resurrect on the previous full moon night after death.
Reward one lucky draw opportunity:
1-Shadow Clone Jutsu（beginner）;
2-Fire Release Chakra;
3-Taijutsu Lock Technique（beginner）.】
Taijutsu Lock Technique is the technique Antelope Captain used to lock him with his arm, very powerful and hard to break free from.
He has the Karma Seal of Retribution and doesn’t need the lock technique.
Fire Release Chakra, he doesn’t need it now either.
He is pseudo chunin; being able to use Earth Release well is already good.
Before becoming elite chunin, there’s no need to consider chakra nature development.
Even if he developed Fire Release Chakra, his chakra amount couldn’t support multiple uses.
Finally, Yoru chose Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Shadow Clone Jutsu can create solid clones, which sometimes even dojutsu can’t see through.
Antelope Captain is particularly skilled at shadow clones, often using shadow clones or his subordinates’ lives to probe for information.
Evenly dividing chakra is the flaw of shadow clones.
This flaw isn’t a disadvantage for ninjas with particularly large or particularly small chakra amounts.
Large chakra amount, even half is enough to use.
Small chakra amount, it wasn’t much to begin with, how much smaller can it get?
For Yoru now, even division isn’t a bad thing; at worst, he just keeps using taijutsu to fight.
Just like his previous life, the plot continued to develop, and the squad arrived at the seaside fishing village.
Choosing a direction to infiltrate the underfloor space of a house, Horned Ox got a flying pounce to the face and used an exploding tag in anger.
Yoru fought while retreating, dodging to the side.
This time, he knew where Antelope Captain’s real body was hidden, so he was more careful when forming hand seals to use sealing jutsu, ensuring the captain wouldn’t see.
A Cloud Ninja hidden among the fishermen made his move; in the end, Horned Ox died, and Antelope Captain was injured.
Yoru rushed out from the seawater and carried away the injured Antelope Captain.
In the coconut grove, Antelope Captain only felt a pain in his side.
His scalp went numb, thinking Fox was going to kill him.
He quickly looked down and saw Fox injecting him with a hemostatic agent.
Antelope Captain breathed a sigh of relief; Fox wasn’t so stupid as to dare attack him.
Even if he was seriously injured and took several cuts, he could still kill Fox.
The two arrived at a natural cave in a reef and hid inside.
This time, Yoru not only had no killing intent at all but also carefully helped Antelope Captain treat his wound.
There were still more than ten days until the full moon; without Antelope Captain, he couldn’t hold out.
As an Anbu ninja, it was too dangerous.
Antelope Captain felt Fox’s concern, and plus Fox was his only subordinate at this time, so his attitude toward Fox became much warmer.
Antelope Captain even analyzed the situation:
“Fox, in the area we’re searching, there are actually two Cloud Ninja squads.
It looks like Cloud Ninjas are appearing in large numbers in the Land of Waves.
The Land of Waves’ mission quota has always been a key point of contention between Hidden Mist Village and Hidden Whirlpool Village.
To help Hidden Whirlpool Village, our Konoha has fought Mist Ninjas many times and lost quite a few people.
Without our Konoha Village, how could Hidden Whirlpool Village confront Hidden Mist Village?
Lately, there’s been a lot of grumbling in the village, saying why should we help an outsider village? Why not directly seize the Land of Waves’ mission quota.
Now that Cloud Ninjas have appeared, things have gotten complicated.”
Yoru thought for a moment, then asked:
“Antelope Captain, isn’t Hidden Whirlpool Village our ally?
The grumbling in the village, did it appear naturally, or…”
“Stop!” Antelope Captain said sternly:
“To survive in Anbu, you shouldn’t know what you shouldn’t know, and you shouldn’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.
Those rumors about Hidden Whirlpool Village, of course they appeared naturally; could it be that we Anbu spread them?”
Although Antelope Captain denied it, Yoru felt it was most likely Anbu who did it.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Mito Uzumaki’s condition was very bad; Yoru had previously carried out a mission guarding the Senju Compound.
Mito Uzumaki married into the Senju Clan but didn’t change her surname; that old woman was unparalleled in both strength and status.
Unfortunately, she was too old.
Regarding the next jinchuriki arrangements, the village high-ranking officials and Senju Clan seemed to have quite a few disagreements.
Previously, the Senju Clan was responsible for communication with the Uzumaki Clan.
This time, the village directly bypassed the Senju Clan, and Danzo personally went to Hidden Whirlpool Village, proving the village could no longer reach a consensus with the Senju Clan.
Antelope Captain took five days to heal his injury, then continued the mission, searching for Cloud Ninjas in a certain area.
This time they found 3 Cloud Ninja squads; luckily, Antelope Captain didn’t order Yoru to probe for information.
Every time they found a Cloud Ninja squad, they observed from afar and then carefully left.
Time passed day by day, and finally, it was another reassuring full moon night.
—
The full moon was like a silver plate, the moonlight like white frost.
Yoru squatted on a reef.
The sea breeze was moist, blowing on his mask.
In the distance, Antelope Captain was reporting something to the squad leader.
The sound of waves was continuous, crashing endlessly; Yoru couldn’t hear what the two captains were saying.
He only saw Antelope Captain nodding continuously, agreeing to something.
Under the mask, Yoru was very dissatisfied with his situation.
No good, always being Anbu cannon fodder, not even knowing what the mission content is, only able to listen to the captain.
This made him very passive in every mission.
At least he needed to become a squad leader, enter the mission distribution system, to know more information.
Information was too important, the key to survival.
Staring at Antelope Captain’s back, Yoru carefully calculated.
Last time he failed to kill him; consider him lucky.
He still needed to kill him as soon as possible.
He looked at his system panel.

A good chef doesn’t pick ingredients, a skilled housewife doesn’t pick rice.
Using these abilities, he had to find a way to step on Antelope Captain’s corpse to become a squad leader.
Everyone is Anbu; no one should call anyone else’s heart black.
