As time passed, another half year went by. Jiogan gained an increasingly deep understanding of Kirigakure's circumstances and secrets, and most of the intelligence he sent back to Konoha concerned Kirigakure's broad strategic direction for the near future. It was exceptionally important!
Hiruzen Sarutobi found this utterly baffling. He had no idea which Kirigakure department Jiogan had infiltrated to repeatedly send back top-secret intelligence! Could he have wormed his way into Kirigakure's think tank?!
After all, of the three ninjas Root had sent to infiltrate Kirigakure as spies, not a single one had returned intelligence on Jiogan's level of secrecy. One had even been exposed, leaving only two!
Jiogan knew about Kirigakure capturing Konoha spies some time ago, because Kirigakure had not only captured Konoha's spies, but also spies from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and even the Land of Rain.
Kirigakure's higher-ups had carried out a major purge within the village, dealing a severe blow to the spy networks every village had planted there!
The reason for this purge was the intelligence Jiogan had sent back. It had caused Kirigakure's operations abroad to suffer repeated setbacks, enraging the Third Mizukage!
However, although the purge had achieved considerable results, no one had discovered Jiogan, the deepest nail embedded in their midst.
That was because, ever since arriving in Kirigakure, Jiogan had never once left the Terumi Clan compound.

The only chance of exposure was when Jiogan used the Summoning Technique to transmit intelligence, as it required Chakra and created spatial fluctuations! Only ninjas with sensory abilities and space-time talent could possibly detect it!
But Jiogan
