Chapter 316: Sarutobi Heizō Is Already Restless With Desire
Yoru said: “This time, the one promoted to Vice Minister isn’t me, and I’m feeling a bit displeased. However, please rest assured, Lord Kiiroinu, I will continue to work hard and won’t delay Anbu missions.”
Kiiroinu saw that Fox had no special reaction, continuing to support him as always, and went to arrange the Anbu conference.
Beneath Yoru’s lowered mask, his gaze was ice-cold.
I sold my body to gather information from Meixiang, I analyzed the situation and offered key suggestions, you Kiiroinu became Minister, and in the end, I still have to address Lynx as Lord?
What’s the use of doing well? It’s not as good as having a good surname like others.
I hope before you die, your good surname can let you live a few more seconds.
Anbu’s training hall.
All Anbu Ninjas assembled, waiting for the important appointment from the high-ranking officials.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Mito Mon’en, Koharu Utatane, Nara Shikaku.
Several Konoha high-ranking officials all appeared on the presidium.
On either side of the high-ranking officials stood Kiiroinu and Lynx.
Hiruzen Sarutobi announced the new appointments.
Kiiroinu serves as Anbu Minister, Lynx… serves as Anbu Vice Minister.
All Anbu Ninjas were shocked in their hearts.
Those with good composure remained completely still, those with poor composure glanced sideways at Fox in the front row.
Fox has always been the number one under Kiiroinu.
Unexpectedly, the precious opportunity for Anbu Vice Minister went not to Fox but to Lynx.
Yoru showed no reaction, slightly lowering his brows, staring at the ground of the presidium.
Purple Cat looked at Fox with heartache.
She knew Fox had long wanted to be promoted to Vice Minister, yet Lynx had gotten there first.
Beneath Yoru’s mask, his eyes were a deep crimson, the two tomoe shifted positions, and in an instant, three tomoe appeared.
He had actually evolved to three tomoe Sharingan due to intense stimulation.
What to do? Failing to get promoted to Vice Minister seems to have hit him pretty hard.
Lynx, Kiiroinu, what should I do to you?
The appointments ended, the high-ranking officials left, and the Anbu Ninjas dispersed.
All Anbu Ninjas avoided Fox, knowing Fox was in a bad mood.
Butterfly stopped Fox.
“Fox Captain, Lord Kiiroinu asks you to come over.”
Seeing Fox enter, Kiiroinu rarely stood up.
“Sit, sit first, Fox.”
Truth be told, Kiiroinu felt a bit guilty.
“Fox, in the Hokage’s Office, in front of several high-ranking officials, I strongly recommended you for Vice Minister.
However, as you know, this time Danzo Advisor suffered huge losses.
He gave up the Anbu Minister position and gave up the spy networks of two great nations.
As a compromise, the high-ranking officials discussed and decided to promote Lynx to Anbu Vice Minister.”
Yoru nodded and said: “I understand, Lord Lynx is more suitable for Anbu Vice Minister than me. He is more familiar with Root and more familiar with the spy leaders of the two great nations.
Rest assured, Lord Kiiroinu, I won’t hold any grudges because of this. For you, for Konoha Village, I have that much magnanimity.”
Kiiroinu hurriedly said: “Good, good, good, Fox. I guarantee you, the next Anbu Vice Minister will definitely be you!”
They had a heart-to-heart talk with Fox for a long time, and both sides reached a satisfactory result.
Kiiroinu thought Fox was the same as before, that Fox was a subordinate with resolve.
Yoru thought… there was nothing worth arguing over.
Your Heinosuke Sarutobi is already unbearably thirsty.
Just leaving Kiiroinu’s office, he discovered Lynx’s assistant waiting not far in the corridor.
“Fox Squad Leader, Vice Minister Lynx asks you to come over.”
Entering Lynx’s office, Lynx stared at Fox.
Yoru remained unmoved and stared back at Lynx.
Beneath the mask, Lynx’s brow furrowed. Had Fox forgotten his own identity?
He said: “Fox, the first principle of Anbu Ninjas is obedience, executing missions.
I’ve heard some rumors before that you might be the next Anbu Vice Minister.
But those are just rumors; you can’t let rumors affect you.
In the future, for the missions I assign, you must complete them with all your heart, just as you would for Minister Kiiroinu.”
Yoru suppressed the anger in his heart and said: “Of course, Lord Lynx. As long as it’s a mission assigned to me, I will complete it with 100% effort.”
Lynx felt deeply satisfied amid Fox’s repeated “Lord Lynx.”
Yoru left Lynx’s office and walked into the darkness.
Lynx, how tough is your life to bear being called Lord? Say hello to Heinosuke Sarutobi for me.
Arriving outside the Anbu Base, Yoru looked up at the bright moon.
Today is exactly a full moon night.
This time they might encounter Uchiha Madara. Sending the Uchiha Clan to investigate Uchiha Madara is absolutely a deliberate bad move.
This might enrage Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara won’t forgive traitors of the Uchiha Clan.
Yoru’s strength seems a bit insufficient; he must find a way to boost his strength in the short term.
—
The full moon was like a silver plate.
In the Root Laboratory, Orochimaru suddenly turned his head, looking toward the side wall of the laboratory.
Fox drilled out of the wall using Earth Release.
“Oh? Fox, it’s not yet time to report experiment progress.”
Yoru scanned the 10 test subjects in the laboratory and said: “Lord Orochimaru, after Tsunade got angry, your Wood Release experiments must be going very poorly.”
Orochimaru’s gaze drooped.
He had originally planned to accumulate 50 test subjects for a large-scale control experiment.
Now that plan had completely failed.
Unable to capture children with Senju bloodline, experimenting on these 10 test subjects required even more caution.
Experiment progress was extremely slow.
Orochimaru looked up and said: “Fox, you’re not here to say sarcastic things, are you? If you’ve come to find me, it must be for something.”
Yoru took out a scroll and said: “This is intelligence on Konoha Village’s Scroll of Seals.”
“Oh?” Orochimaru’s eyes filled with interest: “What do you want to exchange for this intelligence?”
Yoru tossed the scroll to Orochimaru and said: “I won’t exchange intelligence on the Scroll of Seals for anything; instead, I want to prove to you that it’s impossible for you to steal the Scroll of Seals.”
Orochimaru puzzledly opened the scroll and saw the defensive forces around the Scroll of Seals.
The Scroll of Seals was located in the side compartment of the Hokage’s Office, which Orochimaru knew.
The barrier personally set by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, which no one except the Hokage knew how to counter.
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s bedroom faced the door of the room storing the precious Scroll of Seals.
If there was any situation with the Scroll of Seals, Hiruzen Sarutobi could immediately use the Adamantine Staff to kill the thief stealing the Scroll of Seals.
Yoru asked: “So, is it impossible for you to steal the Scroll of Seals?”
Orochimaru nodded and said: “Fox, what exactly are you trying to say?”
“I want to make a deal with you, a deal you’re most interested in,” Yoru said:
“Lord Orochimaru, stealing the Scroll of Seals is absolutely impossible. The barrier set by Second Hokage himself offers no hope of cracking.
If you want to see the Scroll of Seals, the only chance is to complete Wood Release research and get permission from Danzo Advisor to view it.
But with your current experiments, you won’t complete Wood Release research even in another five years.
Lord Orochimaru, stop wasting time on this bunch of trash.
They’re just some children with dilute Senju bloodline; what can you experiment out of them?
I have mastery in both Earth and Water attributes, Elite Jonin level strength.
Use me as a test subject. This bunch of trash won’t give you any results.
I offer myself to help you complete Wood Release.
And you, help me transplant Hashirama Cells to boost my strength.”
