Chapter 222: Vine Earth Hidden Barrier
Konoha's higher-ups knew that Copper Fox excelled in Earth Release, Water Release, and Sealing Jutsu, and that he occasionally used Wind Release.
If he used Earth Release and Water Release to assassinate the Special Jonin from the Upper Five Clans, he would almost certainly draw suspicion.
His advantage lay in the increasingly comprehensive skill set he had acquired through the system.
He could create a new identity.
This new persona would completely avoid Earth Release, Water Release, and Sealing Jutsu, relying instead on his other abilities.
Once he rounded out his Lightning Release, he would focus primarily on Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, and taijutsu. That way, no one would ever suspect him.
He could even mix in some dojutsu and genjutsu from time to time to confuse his enemies and dial up the pressure on the Upper Five Clans.
How could he let them hoard all the benefits and leave everyone else in the dirt?
As the days passed, Yako relentlessly gathered intelligence on the Upper Five Clans.
