I Survived in Anbu to Become Super Kage

That Orochimaru would actually ask for his opinion on investigating Blue B caught Yako completely off guard; such high regard was unexpected.

He immediately adjusted his attitude and stated his position:

"Lord Orochimaru, you are the direct disciple of the Sandaime.

"Lord Yellow Dog once told me that the Anbu belongs to the Sandaime today, but eventually, it will belong to you.

"In this mission, I will execute your orders without question!"

Regardless of whether Yellow Dog secretly coveted the seat of the Fourth Hokage, right now he fell far short of Orochimaru.

Yellow Dog might hold some weight among the village's upper echelons, but across the village at large, he was virtually unknown.

If he aimed to become the Fourth Hokage, his path likely mirrored Danzo's: stepping up from Anbu Commander or Deputy Commander to become a Hokage advisor.

From that advisor seat, he would amass prestige and influence before making his bid for Hokage.
