Capturing Yakushi Nonō

Leaf Village, Yakushi Orphanage.

Yakushi Nonō, dressed in a white robe, sat at the table, shivering at the thought of what the Root members had said yesterday!

"We're short on personnel right now, and Lord Danzō has decided to re-employ you. If you dare not come, then don't expect the organization to continue funding your orphanage!"

She had finally managed to escape that organization, and now she had to go back. She never wanted to return to that dark place!

But thinking of the children she had taken in, she couldn't bring herself to refuse. Without financial support, this orphanage simply couldn't survive.

When she left the organization, everything she owned was confiscated, including the money she had earned from her missions!

Underground of Leaf Village, Root Organization Base.

Whoosh!

In front of the cross-shaped pier, Yakushi Nonō appeared, wearing her mask!

A Root member wearing an Antelope Mask looked at the arriving Yakushi Nonō and said, "Very good. You've made your choice. Lord Danzō will not forget your contributions!"

"Your codename is still 'Medicine.' This is your identification. Your mission is to assist the 'Leopard' squad, and the specific orders will be given by him!"

Three members wearing Leopard Print Masks stepped forward.

"A reminder: the Land of Rain is very dangerous. Even if you are discovered, you must keep your identity a secret. Depart!"

"Yes!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The group left the Root Organization base. Before leaving the village, the squad leader, Yamashita Ittō (alias), assigned mission objectives to the three members. Their task was to investigate the strength and organizational structure of Amegakure…

Kobayashi was responsible for tracking Tsunade, Kojima was responsible for tracking Saori, Yakushi U was responsible for monitoring Su Zheng's residence, and Yamashita Ittō was responsible for organizing information and determining the next course of action.

Danzō had no choice but to take this step. During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzō had conspired with him to eliminate their own unstable elements.

However, as Su Zheng rose to prominence later, the situation changed. Hanzō no longer needed to cooperate with Danzō. With his own nephew, why would he cooperate with an outsider!

Hanzō severed ties with Danzō, and some of his hidden assets were removed, completely destroying Danzō's plans!

As Su Zheng began to engage with the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, intelligence from the Land of Rain became increasingly important. They had to re-strategize. This was only the first batch; there would be more spy ninjas in the future.

Near the border of the Land of Rain, Yamashita Ittō reiterated the discipline once more before disguising themselves and entering the country.

At the checkpoint, they finally witnessed what strictness meant. Under the perception of barrier ninjas, anyone who tried to force their way through other means would be discovered and captured immediately.

The reason for this was that after the Land of Rain came under Saori's control, the border identity management had to be rearranged every month, making it impossible for them to find loopholes!

The identification provided by Danzō was useless. The management personnel would reprocess their identity information, fingerprints, and DNA. Most importantly, their Chakra was also stored in the database!

Perception ninjas could distinguish whether the other party was a ninja and whether they were using Transformation Jutsu…

The closer they got to Amegakure, the stricter the inspections became. Along the way, they lost the mood to explore the novel machines.

Waga Hotel, Room 304.

After arriving in Amegakure and settling down, the group finally felt a little at ease.

Gathering everyone, Yamashita Ittō said, "The development of the Land of Rain is too fast. Cars, railways, communication, surveillance…"

He learned all of this from the newspapers on the train. The old methods of espionage were completely ineffective. He felt that their small team might be buried in the Land of Rain!

He felt like ninjas were like a group of barbarians playing against Homo sapiens!

"For the next month, we will first understand the situation. No missions will be assigned. Protect yourselves!"

In the past, when they acted as spies, they could kill civilians and use Transformation Jutsu to disguise themselves, but now…

The most important thing currently was their disguised identities. They had never heard of such jobs before and could only explore them slowly!

A week later, Waga Hotel, Room 205.

Seeing that all his team members had arrived, Yamashita Ittō said, "Report on your respective progress."

Kobayashi said, "This past week, I've been working at a flower shop and haven't dared to run around. I've also used clones to gather information a few times, and I was almost discovered…"

Kojima reported, "I've been working at a newspaper office. Once, I was running on a wall and was immediately stopped. After checking my identity information, they told me I could only walk normally…"

Yamashita Ittō looked at Yakushi Nonō. She said, "I've been working at a toy store, but I haven't had any opportunity to get close to Su Zheng's house."

Yamashita Ittō sighed. Their mission was not progressing at all. They were only recognized as "civilians." If they were discovered using Ninjutsu, it would be over!

Even the ninjas' ability to run on walls was not allowed! They could only walk like ordinary people. What was the point of them then?

Their ninja tools were all confiscated, and their identities prevented them from buying ninja tools or using Ninjutsu. As for robbing them, that would be a slow way to die!

Monitoring Room.

Su Zheng watched the group inside through the hidden camera, a smile evident on his face.

Their strange behavior had long been discovered. Before this, countless ninjas from other villages had fallen victim to these methods, and Su Zheng's techniques had been gradually improved.

Su Zheng looked at one of the girls, with yellow hair and glasses. Her gentle face was completely unsuited for espionage; she must be Yakushi Nonō.

Inside the Room.

Yamashita Ittō looked at the other three and said, "I did manage to get some information. It's said that Su Zheng really likes women. Not long ago, after the female ninjas from Nadeshiko Village came to spar, they quickly moved into his home. Rumor outside is that Su Zheng has another woman!"

"I've heard that too. Besides, Tsunade and that Saori weren't originally from the Land of Rain…" Kobayashi chimed in.

The three of them looked at Yakushi Nonō in unison. Yakushi Nonō was a bit flustered. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Alright, what do you need me to do?"

After much discussion, they decided to find a good day, put on a show, and send Yakushi Nonō to Su Zheng's home to extract information.

Su Zheng watched this scene and chuckled to himself. They were actually plotting against him, so he decided to play along.

In the corridor.

The four of them, who were about to split up, saw a black-haired man. His face was too familiar to them as ninjas!

"Su Zheng?" Kobayashi blurted out carelessly.

"Yo!" Su Zheng waved his hand, snapped his fingers, and all four of them collapsed.

Interrogation room.

"Where is this?" Yakushi Nonō slowly woke up and found herself handcuffed to a wooden frame, instantly understanding her situation.

"You're awake!" Su Zheng looked at Yakushi Nonō, walked up to her, lifted her chin, and asked, "What are your real identities? Tell me!"

Yakushi Nonō looked at the man in front of her, knowing that resistance was useless against such a powerful person. She slowly began to speak, "We were sent by Lord Danzō of the Leaf Village to gather information on you!"

"Since we've been discovered, please set me free!" Yakushi Nonō said calmly.

Su Zheng leaned close to her ear and said, "I want you to be my woman!"

Yakushi Nonō was shocked. In her eyes, a powerful person like Su Zheng should be upright and honorable. She never expected him to ask her to be his woman. Was he really that lustful?

Su Zheng asked playfully, "What, you don't want to?"

Yakushi Nonō's face flushed red all the way to her neck. She mumbled, "Of course, I do. I just don't understand why a strong person like you would be interested in me."

Su Zheng said, "You are very beautiful, and also very pure. That's rare in this ninja world!"

With a whimper, her body was bound. Yakushi Nonō could only tilt her head back and say, "Sir, can you let me down? Ah... Mmm!"

"Don't rush!"

Now, Yakushi Nonō's cheeks were flushed, and her body was burning. Su Zheng, satisfied, put her down and turned into the space.

He took her to the peak of Five Finger Mountain. Below, the clouds swirled, the scenery was beautiful, and a gentle breeze blew. It was truly a wonderful place!

Su Zheng sat on a stone chair, holding her in his arms. Looking at the undulating mountain ranges, Yakushi Nonō slowly woke up.

Yakushi Nonō rubbed her numb jaw. She could feel the gathered currents pulsing and looked up with watery eyes, saying, "Husband, please be gentle!"

Su Zheng couldn't help but marvel at her docile nature. She quickly accepted her fate, and her pitiful gaze stirred a strong sense of affection in him!

Afterward, Su Zheng transferred all the orphans from the orphanage to the Land of Rain. Since she was his woman, he couldn't possibly let her return to the Leaf Village!

She had initially refused, but after Su Zheng "disciplined" her a bit, she accepted the man's arrangements.

Due to its rapid economic development, the Land of Rain did not have orphanages in the traditional sense; instead, there were government-funded institutions. People like Kyusuke and Daibutsu were in these places. The Land of Rain was definitely the most humane country!
