Chapter 45: You’ve Made Several Fatal Mistakes
Facing the village high-ranking officials’ near-ultimatum pressure, Senju Rinki thought for a long time.
The high-ranking officials all stared at Senju Rinki, waiting for his submission and concession.
Senju Rinki thought and thought, then said: “I will recall Tsunade, let Tsunade return from the front line, participate in Kushina’s growth, and train Kushina.”
Tsunade is the greatest common ground between both sides, both the proud disciple of the Third Hokage and the princess of the Senju Clan.
“Tsunade…” Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Tsunade the most; Tsunade’s love for the village was far purer than Senju Rinki’s.
For the village, Tsunade was willing to do anything.
The village is Tsunade’s grandfather’s lifelong effort; Tsunade would never allow a jinchuriki to threaten the village.
Seeing Hiruzen’s attitude clearly soften, Danzo and Mito Mon’en said nothing more.
A look of joy appeared on Kato Dan’s face; finally, he could see Tsunade.
The Third Hokage let the two groups leave.
He finally said: “Kiiroinu, give me a detailed report of tonight as soon as possible.”
“Ten minutes later, I will deliver the report to you.”
Late at night, the Third Hokage carefully read the report.
This report had no embellishments, detailing everything the Kiiroinu Battalion saw and did.
The turning point in events was because Squad Leader Fox discovered the Cloud Ninja spy.
Fox reported to Kurozaru; Kurozaru led the team to pursue the Cloud Ninja spy and happened to run into the Cloud Ninja spy abducting the Whirlpool Princess.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, so that’s how it is.
After the Uzumaki Clan Annihilation, several outstanding new recruits emerged in Anbu, and Fox was one of them.
Fox imitated Cloud Ninja sword techniques in battle, and his sword technique grew increasingly proficient.
His sword technique growth was traceable, progressing step by step; he could not possibly be a Cloud Ninja spy.
Continuing to read, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, greatly intrigued.
Kushina Uzumaki’s classmate Minato Namikaze killed a Cloud Ninja spy?
Kurozaru gave an extremely high evaluation of Minato Namikaze.
Fox, who excelled in sword technique and had reactions superior to others, was still slightly inferior to Minato Namikaze.
A 10-year-old child whose strength surpassed even an Anbu Squad Leader?
Minato Namikaze entered Hiruzen Sarutobi’s view for the first time.
This is a good seedling.
He immediately issued an order for the Ninja Academy teacher to pay special attention to and train Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki would likely become friends because of this incident; through Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki could also be influenced.
Whether in strength or interpersonal relationships, Minato Namikaze was worth investing in.

Time passed day by day in the surveillance mission.
Many days later.
The full moon was like a silver plate, moonlight like white frost.
Full Moon Night arrived again.
At midnight 12 o’clock, after the shift change, Yoru hid in the tree canopy outside the Senju Compound, observing the Senju Compound with a telescope.
The Senju Compound covered a vast area, one-tenth of the Konoha Village center, all Senju Compound.
This massive ninja clan was now at the end of its glory, with 12 elite jonin alone in the clan and over 30 jonin.
Whether Uzumaki Mito or Kushina Uzumaki, both were extremely safe within the Senju Compound.
Yoru looked toward the outskirts of the Senju Compound and saw a couple in a nearby alley.
Among that couple, the female ninja was a Senju ninja, and the male ninja was a civilian ninja in the village.
Thanks to Tobirama Senju’s policy, the Senju Clan was very willing to support civilians; after the Uzumaki Clan Annihilation, many Senju Clan women began considering civilian ninjas in the village.
Purple Cat was beside Yoru; she also watched the couple with a telescope for a while, then put it down.
That male ninja’s hand was restless, constantly exploring up and down.
The Senju female ninja was famously curvaceous, so exploring involved crossing mountains and ridges, quite bumpy.
Purple Cat was a woman and felt a bit embarrassed.
She turned her head left and right, discovering that her three teammates each had their mask eye holes glued to their telescopes.
“Cough cough!”
Purple Cat coughed lightly, reminding the squad’s men not to go too far.
Staring so intently at the young couple being intimate was not in line with the Will of Fire.
Rinki and Black Bull both shamefacedly put down their telescopes.
That couple were both Konoha companions; how could they peep into others’ privacy?
Yoru, however, remained unmoved and instead sternly educated Purple Cat:
“Purple Cat, you made several fatal mistakes. If not in the village, your actions would likely get our squad killed.
First, you cannot make a sound.
As Anbu, how can you make noise during surveillance?
This is outside the Senju Compound; the Senju Compound knows we are collecting intelligence around the Whirlpool Princess, so exposure poses no life threat.
If surveilling in other towns and exposed, would you be the first to cover the retreat?
Second, you cannot assume.
Because of some adult scenes, you abandoned surveillance—what if that civilian ninja is a spy?
What if the moment you put down your telescope, that ninja suddenly kills the Senju female ninja?
Any stranger appearing in the Senju Compound could threaten the Whirlpool Princess.
Third, you have no right to order Rinki and Black Bull.
Before I give the order, you three must strictly follow my orders.
Now, you three, pick up your telescopes, watch for me, watch closely, and don’t miss a single detail!”
Beneath the mask, Purple Cat blushed furiously, redder than from the intimate scenes she saw before.
“I’m sorry! Fox Captain! I was wrong!”
Rinki, Black Bull, and Purple Cat hurriedly picked up their telescopes and continued reconnaissance on those intimate scenes.
Rinki and Black Bull both felt the captain was so understanding—fun to watch, love watching, and could stare unabashedly under the guise of the mission.
The two’s actions grew more intense, evolving into unconscious trembling.
The poor pair had no idea how tightly monitored the Senju Clan was at that moment.
At least three squads were watching them from nearby big trees.
After over ten minutes of intimacy, the Senju female ninja, face flushed and legs weak, entered the compound.
This is the sour stink of love.
That male ninja stood in place for a long time without leaving.
From the leaf gaps in the neighboring tree canopy, the Kurozaru Squad Leader signaled with several hand gestures.
Yoru responded with several hand gestures, then waved for the squad to leave.
Purple Cat felt even more guilty; the squad and mid-squad communication was done in complete silence, with no unnecessary sounds—that was Anbu’s norm.
Fox Captain is so strict, but such a captain is even more trustworthy.
After going far, Yoru said to his three subordinates: “Follow that male ninja and rule out the possibility of him being a spy.”
The squad followed that male ninja from afar until he went home.
The target went upstairs, turned off the lights, and drew the curtains.
Seeing Fox Captain take no action, Purple Cat silently waited.
This wait lasted from midnight until dawn.
Only after that male ninja left did Yoru lead the squad to infiltrate that single-household building.
Yoru carefully observed everything in the house.
The more he looked, the more something felt off.
“Purple Cat, check the bedding.
Black Bull, check the bathroom.
Rinki, check the desk.”
