Captain Antelope Finally Died

Uzumaki Yuka stared at Fox in utter terror.

Wasn't Fox a Senju Clan spy within the Anbu?

Wait!

Uzumaki Yuka immediately recalled that when the Exploding Tags had just detonated, Fox had applied hemostatic medicine to his Kunai.

The Kunai had not pierced deeply, and with the Hemostatic Agent applied, there had not been much bleeding.

Uzumaki Yuka forced herself to activate the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

Yagami, meanwhile, acted as though he lacked the strength to resist, looking horrified and helpless.

More than a dozen Adamantine Sealing Chains shot out, piercing everyone except Yagami.

Whether Cloud Ninja or Captain Antelope, they were all struck by the powerful Sealing Jutsu.

Under the effects of the Sealing Jutsu, no one could move.

Yagami secretly reveled in it. He had deliberately applied Hemostatic Agent to the Kunai so Uzumaki Yuka would think he was one of them and would not attack him.

The deception had worked. He was the only one who had not been struck by the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

Yagami got to his feet, brandished his Kunai, and killed the Cloud Ninja one by one.

Seeing Yagami's practiced movements, Captain Antelope regarded him in a new light.

The weakest ninja in the squad, the cannon fodder who had merely been making up the numbers, had grown at an astonishing rate. His timing was becoming increasingly seasoned, and he was starting to have the makings of an Anbu ninja.

Captain Antelope lowered his head and felt a sharp pain from the chain piercing his abdomen.

The Adamantine Sealing Chains carried chained spearheads, and one of those spearheads had pierced his chest.

The Uzumaki Clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains Sealing Jutsu could actually materialize Chakra. What a terrifying secret technique.

Chakra materialization was said to touch upon the domain of Yin-Yang Release, something ordinary ninja could not master.

Seeing Captain Antelope's miserable condition, Yagami did not rashly tend to his wounds. Instead, he first snatched the Sealing Scroll from Uzumaki Yuka.

He handed the scroll to his captain. "Mission accomplished. I got it!"

Captain Antelope cursed inwardly. He had told him to seize an intact scroll, not one that had already been used.

With no time to reproach Fox, Captain Antelope said, "Go! Get out of here!"

Yagami supported Captain Antelope and leaped into the woods by the lake.

"Captain! I'll give you a Hemostatic Agent!"

The Hemostatic Agent was successfully injected into the captain's side, and the blood stopped gushing out.

In the darkness, Yagami's eyes beneath his mask were exceptionally bright.

Supporting Captain Antelope, he carefully sensed the condition of his body, not overlooking the slightest tremor in any muscle.

Less than half of the Hemostatic Agent was medicine. Most of it was poison.

Uzumaki Yuka was a Chunin. Poison intended for a Chunin would not be weak.

This time, Yagami would not act as rashly as he had last time.

Captain Antelope had a Fire Style trump card hidden away, and Yagami had no wish to be burned to death again.

The same move could not be used on him twice.

After they had moved far from the battlefield, Captain Antelope panted heavily and said:

"Fox, your strength is lacking, but you're very lucky. You survive until the end every time. Keep at it. Perhaps you'll grow stronger in the future."

"Thank you for the praise, Captain."

Captain Antelope found it increasingly difficult to breathe. "This time, cough cough, the mission failed, but we can choose another, cough cough, another Uzumaki Squad and continue trying to seize the Sealing Scroll."

Captain Antelope's vision repeatedly darkened. He assumed it was caused by excessive blood loss.

As expected of the Uzumaki Clan. Their final counterattack was truly terrifying.

Seeing that something was wrong with Captain Antelope, Yagami hurriedly asked:

"Captain! If you lose consciousness, how am I supposed to contact the squad above us? I'm afraid I can't treat wounds this serious. Does the squad have a medical ninja?"

Captain Antelope's consciousness began to blur, and he felt that Fox was right.

His abdomen had been pierced through. His spleen might have ruptured. It would be best to find the squad's medical ninja; a Hemostatic Agent was nowhere near enough.

Captain Antelope reached for his Ninja Tool Pouch, only to discover double vision before his eyes. The pouch became three, spinning without stop.

Yagami hurriedly helped him take out the scroll from the Ninja Tool Pouch and handed it to Captain Antelope.

Captain Antelope shook his head. Dizzy and disoriented, he persisted in using a certain method to unseal the scroll.

"Before every mission... the Cipher Unit devises... a set of... new codes..."

Before he could finish speaking, Captain Antelope had already lost consciousness.

Yagami waited several seconds and only formed Hand Seals to use the Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal after confirming that Captain Antelope had completely passed out.

Sealing curse marks spread across Captain Antelope's entire body.

Once he was certain Captain Antelope could no longer resist, Yagami raised his Kunai and viciously stabbed it into the captain's throat.

Blood gushed out. Captain Antelope awoke from the pain, saw the Kunai before his eyes, and saw what Fox was doing.

"You..."

The captain could say nothing more and died completely.

Yagami could not stop. He knew ninja could extract intelligence from corpses.

The Kunai stabbed down in rapid succession, prying open Captain Antelope's skull and crushing his brain.

How disgusting.

But how reassuring.

Captain Antelope was finally dead.

I wonder whether the Squad Commander will let me be a squad leader. I'm the only one left in the squad.

After finishing all this, Yagami slowly rose to his feet, turned slightly to survey his surroundings, and left only after confirming there was no one nearby.

He carefully studied the Anbu Communication Scroll.

Whenever the Anbu carried out a large-scale joint mission, they compiled a set of Communication Codes to guide scattered Anbu Squads.

Using concealed markers, each squad could determine where its superior captain was and which direction to take to find the main force.

With this scroll, Yagami could directly find the Squad Commander.

Once he became a squad leader, he could accept missions directly, learn more intelligence, and no longer be a mere tool.

Yagami returned to the place where they had fought earlier and found Uzumaki Yuka lying on the ground.

Uzumaki Yuka did not dare move recklessly. A Kunai was still lodged in her abdomen.

She was not bleeding much, but she was afraid that moving around—especially pulling out the Kunai—would cause severe bleeding.

When she saw a figure appear above her, Uzumaki Yuka breathed a sigh of relief. "Fox, you came!"

Yagami crouched down and said, "I'm here. Sorry, I had no choice but to obey the captain's orders earlier. Now I'll help you treat your wound."

Uzumaki Yuka was both confused and resentful. The Konoha Anbu had actually wanted to seize the Sealing Scroll newly developed by her clan.

Fortunately, Fox was from the Senju Clan and had prepared in advance. He had applied Hemostatic Agent to the Kunai, allowing her to survive.

Pfft!

Uzumaki Yuka's chin trembled uncontrollably.

A Kunai had been driven into her throat. Blood gushed out and splashed into her mouth.

Yagami felt the faintest trace of guilt, but it quickly vanished.

He had applied Hemostatic Agent to the Kunai in order to gain Uzumaki Yuka's trust and more easily carry out Captain Antelope's orders.

He was an Anbu ninja, not some Senju Clan spy.

Who would want to be a Senju Clan spy? That clan was destined for extermination.

Yagami had transmigrated into the ninja world not to uphold justice. He wanted to survive.

Uzumaki Yuka's eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension. She did not know why Fox had done this.

Yagami offered no explanation.

Blame yourself for knowing too much. You had to die here. If the secret of the Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal or the secret of my covert resistance against Captain Antelope leaked out, either one would get me killed.

The great scientist Newton had once said: better a fellow Daoist die than oneself.

Yagami searched Uzumaki Yuka's body but found no other Adamantine Sealing Chains Sealing Scrolls.

If there were none, then so be it. After replenishing his supply of Kunai, Yagami vanished.
