Kill him quickly

My vision went black, and my surroundings shifted.

Yagami woke up on the small boat, arriving on the Land of Waves on the full moon night he had just landed.

He adjusted his Fox mask. The feeling of being burned to death in his previous life hadn't faded yet.

His face was burning, his flesh melted and scorched.

"Fox, get off the boat quickly!"

Unlike his previous life, Yagami hesitated and didn't jump off the small boat immediately, being urged by Captain Antelope.

Yagami remembered that Captain Antelope definitely hadn't said this in his previous life.

After being resurrected, most things would follow the plot, but his own actions or changes could lead to different situations, which Yagami didn't want to see.

Before reaching the time of his death in his previous life, he had to be careful and try to follow his past life as much as possible to maintain his plot advantage.

Yagami glanced at Captain Antelope again, very wary of the Fire Release the captain was hiding.

So insidious, hiding his abilities and not even telling his subordinates.

A team should know each other inside and out and cooperate with each other.

If team members don't know the captain's abilities and strength, they might make wrong choices, wasn't that disregarding human life?

The Anbu emphasized loyalty to an extreme degree, with everyone being monitored by other Anbu members. Captain Antelope was also wary of several team members.

Captain Antelope glanced at Fox, he had just urged him, why did Fox's eyes look strange?

[Arc of the Crescent Moon activated!

The host has one resurrection chance per month. After death, they will revive on the previous full moon night.

Reward: One lottery chance:

1- Shadow Clone Technique (Beginner);

2- Fire Release Chakra;

3- Taijutsu Lock Technique (Beginner).]

Taijutsu Lock Technique was the skill Captain Antelope used to lock him with his arm, very powerful and difficult to break free from.

He had the Karma Seal of Retribution, so he didn't need a lock technique.

Fire Release Chakra wasn't needed either, at the moment.

He was a pseudo-Chunin, and it was good enough if he could use Earth Release well.

Before becoming an Elite Chunin, there was no need to consider developing chakra nature.

Even if Fire Release Chakra was developed, the Chakra Quantity wouldn't be enough for multiple uses.

In the end, Yagami chose the Shadow Clone Technique.

The Shadow Clone Technique could create solid clones, sometimes undetectable even by dōjutsu.

Captain Antelope was particularly skilled at Shadow Clones, often using them or the lives of his subordinates to gather intelligence.

Splitting chakra equally was the Shadow Clone's drawback.

This drawback wasn't a disadvantage for ninjas with exceptionally large or exceptionally small Chakra Quantity.

With large Chakra Quantity, splitting it in half was still enough.

With small Chakra Quantity, there wasn't much to begin with, so how much less could there be?

For Yagami now, splitting wasn't a bad thing; at most, he'd fight with taijutsu.

Just like in his previous life, the plot progressed, and the team arrived at a fishing village by the sea.

While infiltrating the elevated foundations of houses from different directions, Horned Bull was attacked by a flying creature. In his anger, he used an Exploding Tag.

Yagami retreated while fighting, dodging to the side.

This time, he knew where Captain Antelope's true body was hidden, so he performed Hand Seals and used a Sealing Jutsu with more caution, ensuring the captain wouldn't see.

Cloud ninjas hidden among the fishermen attacked. In the end, Horned Bull died, and Captain Antelope was injured.

Yagami rushed out of the sea and carried the injured Captain Antelope away.

In the coconut grove, Captain Antelope felt a sharp pain in his side.

His scalp tingled, thinking Fox was going to kill him.

He quickly lowered his head and saw Fox giving him an injection of Hemostatic Agent.

Captain Antelope breathed a sigh of relief. Fox wouldn't be foolish enough to dare attack him.

Even if he were severely injured and had taken several blows, he could still kill Fox.

The two of them went into a natural cave in the reefs and hid inside.

This time, Yagami not only had no killing intent but also carefully helped Captain Antelope treat his wounds.

There were still more than ten days until the full moon. Without Captain Antelope, he wouldn't be able to survive.

Being an Anbu ninja was too dangerous.

Captain Antelope felt the Fox's concern, and since the Fox was his only subordinate at the moment, his attitude towards the Fox became much warmer.

Captain Antelope even began to analyze the situation:

"Fox, within the area we searched, there are actually two Cloud Ninja squads.

It seems Cloud Ninja are appearing in large numbers in the Land of Waves.

The mission quota for the Land of Waves has always been a key point of contention between Kirigakure and Uzu Hidden Village.

To help Uzu Hidden Village, we Konoha have fought many battles with Mist Ninja, and many people have died.

Without our Konohagakure, how could Uzu Hidden Village possibly contend with Kirigakure?

Recently, there have been many complaints circulating in the village, saying why should we help an outsider village? Why not directly seize the mission quota for the Land of Waves.

Now that Cloud Ninja have appeared, things have become complicated."

Yagami thought for a moment and then asked:

"Captain Antelope, isn't Uzu Hidden Village our Ally?

Are the complaints in the village appearing naturally, or..."

"Enough!" Captain Antelope said sternly:

"If you want to survive in the ANBU, you cannot know what you shouldn't know, and you cannot ask what you shouldn't ask.

Those complaints about Uzu Hidden Village are, of course, appearing naturally. Do you think we ANBU are spreading them?"

Although Captain Antelope denied it, Yagami felt that it was highly likely the ANBU were behind it.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki, was in a very bad condition. Yagami had previously undertaken a mission to guard the Senju Clan Compound.

Uzumaki Mito married into the Senju Clan but did not change her surname. That old lady was incomparable in both strength and status.

Unfortunately, she was too old.

Regarding the arrangements for the next Jinchuriki, the village higher-ups and the Senju Clan seemed to have many disagreements.

In the past, the Senju Clan was responsible for communication with the Uzumaki Clan.

This time, the village bypassed the Senju Clan directly, and Danzo personally came to Uzu Hidden Village, proving that the village could no longer reach a consensus with the Senju Clan.

Captain Antelope spent five days recovering from his injuries and continued his mission, searching for Cloud Ninja in a certain area.

This time, they found 3 Cloud Ninja squads. Fortunately, Captain Antelope did not order Yagami to probe for intelligence.

Every time they found a Cloud Ninja squad, they would observe from afar and then carefully leave.

Days passed, and finally, it was the reassuring night of the full moon once again.

--

The full moon was like a silver plate, and the moonlight was like white frost.

Yagami squatted on a reef.

The sea breeze was damp, blowing on his mask.

In the distance, Captain Antelope was reporting something to the Squad Commander.

The sound of the waves was continuous, crashing and roaring. Yagami couldn't hear what the two captains were saying.

He could only see Captain Antelope nodding incessantly, agreeing to something.

Beneath the mask, Yagami was very dissatisfied with his situation.

This wouldn't do. Always being a nobody in the ANBU, not even knowing the mission details, only able to follow the captain's orders.

This made him very passive in every mission.

He had to at least become a Squad Leader and enter the mission distribution system to get more intel.

Intel was too important; it was the key to survival.

Staring at Captain Antelope's retreating back, Yagami carefully calculated.

He was lucky last time he failed to kill him.

He still had to kill him as soon as possible.

He glanced at his system panel.

A good cook doesn't pick ingredients, and a clever housewife doesn't complain about the rice.

Using these abilities, he had to find a way to step over Captain Antelope's corpse and become a Squad Leader.

We're all in the ANBU, so no one can accuse anyone else of being ruthless.
