When he thought of this, Shōji couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Because he knew very well why Yakushi Nonō came to be a spy, and among Original Work's most trusted and important confidants, including Yakushi Kabuto, Orochimaru was, in the end, all controlled by Danzo threatens, uses dozens of children in the orphanage to threaten Nonō, uses Nonō to threaten Yakushi Kabuto, and finally completes his mission at Nonō, in order to prevent intelligence leakage, or for some other purpose.
Danzo deliberately used Yakushi Kabuto to kill Nonō by mistake, and continued to deceive Nonō during this period, which ultimately led to Nonō not recognizing Yakushi Kabuto when he grew up before he died.
This also made Yakushi Kabuto completely despair of the world and believed that his life had no meaning. If he remembered correctly, Yakushi Kabuto during this period was probably eleven or twelve years old, which was a period of time when he officially became a spy under Danzo Root and was active in ninja villages in various countries.
After all, the timeline has seriously deviated in this life. It is impossible and will not be possible for Shōji to trace what happened between Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonō., but it is obviously certain that at the moment that Nonō's whereabouts have been exposed, it is very likely that Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonō will fight each other.
If I can operate it properly, I may not be able to obtain Yakushi Kabuto, a genius whose research ability is not much weaker than Orochimaru. This is a treasure-like help, and during this period Yakushi Kabuto is still very pure. The reason why he is willing to work for Danzo is because of Nonō and his companions in the orphanage. On this point, Nonō is the same.
I can't say I'm 100% sure, but there's still a 70% to 80% probability.
Besides, there are risks in doing anything, right?
Compared with the benefits, this risk is completely acceptable.
Ōnoki also noticed the brightness in Shōji's eyes for the first time. At that moment, he showed a hint of doubt and asked, "What? Have you heard of this Konoha spy? Mr. Shōji?"
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage. When I stayed at Konoha, I quietly investigated Danzo and Root. After all, our family actually planned to live in peace with Konoha. I always felt that Third Hokage was not there. The key to the problem is that Shimura Danzō is a ruthless person, so I have to be careful in all aspects. Although I misjudged the Third Hokage later, the focus is indeed on that Shimura Danzō, and this Wandering Miko. When I went undercover to investigate, I also collected some vague information."
"I can't be sure who it is, and I can't be sure where the mission was performed. However, from the only information, I knew that this Wandering Miko seemed to be a spy coerced by Danzo. Lord Tsuchikage should know that, unlike other departments, Danzo Only some of the Root people below are truly loyal to Danzo, and quite a few of them were coerced and forced by Danzo to join Root. They are all restricted by the special seal of Root!"
This information, as early as Uchiha Clan joined Iwagakure, was proactively provided to Third Tsuchikage, as long as it was known to their clan and had nothing to do with their clan Konoha Under the leadership of Shōji, all the information was reported to Third Tsuchikage in one go. Therefore, when Shōji raised this point again, Ōnoki also raised his eyebrows.
"You mean, this Konoha spy can instigate rebellion?"
Ōnoki asked softly with a hint of thoughtfulness between his brows.
"Well, I can only say that there is a certain probability. I can't say for sure, but if some information can be further verified, I have a certain degree of confidence that this can be done!"
Shōji nodded and said.
This kind of thing cannot be guaranteed. Let alone whether Ōnoki believes it or not, Shōji himself thinks that a 100% probability is a fantasy. Let alone whether his own actions can go as smoothly as expected, his actions alone are the biggest unknown.
Of course, a big premise here is that the person codenamed 'Wandering Miko' must be the one Yakushi Nonō. This is the most important prerequisite, otherwise, everything that follows will be in vain!
With the plot line already in complete chaos, Shōji can really only estimate everything about the future.
"Well, I understand what you mean. Then I leave the specific judgment to you, Shōji. I will ask Ogata and others to cooperate with you. If you have any other requirements, you can negotiate with Kitsuchi. I only have one request. This group of Konoha spies must be completely eliminated. As for the rest, you can take care of it yourself. Do you understand? Shōji!"
Ōnoki leaned forward slightly and said in a very serious tone.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, please rest assured that everything will be as you wish!"
Shōji also bowed suddenly at this moment to respond. Immediately afterwards, under the wave of Ōnoki's hand, he turned and left Tsuchikage Office.
'Star Stone? Uzumaki Clan? Hehe, it seems that my original choice was indeed right. Masters First, Second, and Iwagakure will soon become the real number one Shinobi World. Under the pressure of death, I finally have the face to meet these two adults! '
Ōnoki's very turbid pupils flashed with a bright color at this moment, and his face was full of relief and joy.
One step after another!
This is just over a year and a half after accepting Uchiha Clan.
Iwagakure gained a lot.
Ōnoki has every reason to believe that in ten years at most, they Iwagakure can step on the shoulders of Kumogakure and Konohagakure and reach the top of the Jōnin world. The current Ōnoki has such confidence!
"Humph, is this the boy? Although he does look very good, do you really plan to hand over Tsuchikage's position to him? Uchiha Clan has only been in the village for less than a year and a half, right? Although I think that boy Kitsuchi is a bit too gentle, but at least he is more reliable than this guy, right?"
Not long after Shōji left.
Suddenly.
A deep voice suddenly sounded in Tsuchikage Office, which seemed to be only Ōnoki. The next moment, a slightly short middle-aged man wearing purple clothes and a breastplate, with long red hair and a big beard and a resolute face appeared in Tsuchikage Office.
Ōnoki did not show any surprise at the sudden appearance of this man, including the direct Anbu who were responsible for guarding Ōnoki hidden in the dark shadow corner. They did not take any action when they saw the man.
The reason is very simple. This is not only because of the order of Ōnoki, but because this figure is none other than Iwagakure, whose status and qualifications are second only to Ōnoki, the representative of the highest combat power in the village, Four-Tails Jinchuriki-Rōshi!
"It is true that it was only a year and a half, which is not logically appropriate, but you have also seen Shōji's talents in all aspects, including size, means, strength, awareness, and the most important overall view. In just one and a half years, he has brought such rich benefits to the village. He went north to obtain the Snow Country strategic stronghold, and went south to seize Sunagakure Northern Fortress, defeated Fourth Kazekage—Rasa head-on, expanded the strategic activity space of our village, the Star Stone obtained from this lying mission can be used as a special backup energy, and also brought back the pure Uzumaki Clan bloodline. The most important thing is that his character is very suitable for being a leader, don't you think? Rōshi!"
Ōnoki looked at the person in front of him whose temper was completely inconsistent with his own. He would refute his own village Four-Tails Jinchuriki almost eight or nine times out of ten. He said in a very solemn tone, Ōnoki knew very well that the shadow of a village not only requires strong personal strength, but also requires comprehensive conditions in all aspects. The support and support of others are the top priority!
Ōnoki himself is like this.
Don't look at Rōshi who seems to be indifferent to Ōnoki.
But in fact, Rōshi still recognizes Ōnoki's ability and contribution as Tsuchikage, but he can't stand Ōnoki's approach in some strategies. At this point, Rōshi and Danzo are somewhat similar, but the biggest difference is that Rōshi still supports Ōnoki as Tsuchikage, and he does not think that he can do better than Ōnoki. He has never expected to become Tsuchikage. Danzo is different. Tenten acts like only he can do it and others cannot.
It is also this point that Ōnoki's trust in Rōshi has never diminished. Even though this guy has made himself unable to step down several times, Ōnoki still firmly believes that Iwagakure must have the support of Rōshi.
as Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.
Rōshi's strength is still higher than that of Han.
Of course, this refers to pure personal strength. Without Tailed Beast, Rōshi would be considered an ordinary Kage Level, but Han is a little less interesting.
"Then let Kitsuchi be the fourth generation, and that guy be the fifth generation, right?"
Rōshi does not think that Shōji is not good, but really feels that it is most appropriate for Iwagakure to be replaced smoothly, and just considering the emotions of other ordinary people in the village, Rōshi believes that these people must still think that Kitsuchi is the most reliable and trustworthy.
Not to mention Kitsuchi's identity as the only biological son of Tsuchikage, as Iwagakure Ninja, he graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of seven or eight and has served the village for more than twenty years. This credit and hard work has extraordinary value and significance in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Well, I have considered this, but in the end it still depends on that boy Kitsuchi's own choice. However, I can still last three or four years with my old bones, so there is no need to be too anxious for the time being."
Ōnoki smiled slightly and said softly.
"Humph, then you called me back just to inform you about this matter?"
Rōshi snorted and said with a very dissatisfied look. This familiar look also made Ōnoki reveal a faint smile. Although Ōnoki and Rōshi The age difference is more than ten years, almost twenty years, but the two of them are like real friends. Although there are more noises and differences, this kind of getting along is one that Ōnoki enjoys very much.
Because in this village today, Rōshi is the only one who can still face himself with this attitude.
Including Rōshi himself.
This is also the true meaning of friends.
"After all, I need to inform you in advance that this is the most important thing in the village and requires your support and approval."
Ōnoki said slowly.
"Hmph!"
Listening to Ōnoki's words, Rōshi also hummed.
"In addition, there is indeed a more important matter that needs you to deal with, which is about Kumogakure..."
Follow the words behind Ōnoki.
Rōshi's expression also became serious.
Troubled times.
Shinobi World has never ushered in a true era of peace. War and chaos are the main themes of this world. Even in the era when First Hokage and Uchiha Madara were still there, Shinobi World only maintained peace on the surface. The people of Shinobi World did not actively choose peace, but passively accepted peace.
There is an essential difference between the two.
This was still the case in that era, let alone today's Shinobi World.
Ōnoki, as Tsuchikage, has too many various issues that need to be taken into consideration, and these things are not directly related to Shōji for the time being. All he needs to do is to follow the orders of Ōnoki and perform tasks within the scope of his responsibilities.
This time the Konoha spy, the Wandering Miko-Yakushi Nonō who was forced to obey the orders of Danzo, was the best opportunity for him to plan his future and take revenge on Konoha.
Shōji is 100% unmissable, not to mention the chance to obtain Yakushi Kabuto, a support character that can be considered an SSR and a rare level!
'For the time being, we still need to first understand the specific situation before we can make a conclusion. We also need to arrange the lives of mother and daughter Reina, as well as the cultivation tasks of the three little ones during this period! '
As Shōji stepped out of the Tsuchikage office building, he touched his chin and thought silently. The former is easier, as long as they find a normal house for the mother and daughter to live in the area near the hospital. Anyway, the person in charge of the hospital I have also said that there is no need to worry about normal life at all, but it is best not to be too tired and need to take a few months to recuperate and recuperate. Although Uzumaki Clan's bloodline is very strong, there is a high probability that it can help his research on Sage Body in the future.
But there is no need to rush for a while. Shōji is not the kind of person who is just fishing in a swamp when doing anything. Taking advantage of other people's lowest and stupid behaviors is to blackmail others. The highest state is to make others willing to follow you and actively work for you.
When Danzo first established Root, they also gathered people based on a common philosophy. It can be said that the first batch of Root members were 100% loyal to Danzo and did not require any despicable means to control them. Later, it was also because Danzo himself gradually became gloomy and dark, and became more and more impatient, that he began to use any means at all costs.
This is a negative teaching material, not to mention that Shōji has already said that he is not in a hurry about this. The most important thing is to cultivate mutual feelings and trust.
As for why he didn't arrange it directly into his family's residence, this was also Shōji's way of avoiding suspicion. Although Ōnoki trusted himself and Uchiha Clan very much, Shōji had always been very clear about what he shouldn't do and what attitude he should have.
In addition to the cultivation issues of the three little ones, Shōji also decided to focus on the theme of precipitation in the next period. The efficient execution of tasks during this period has brought sufficient experience to the three of them. The next step is for the three little ones to conduct self-reflection and insights.
Let the three little ones adjust themselves.
And after deciding and arranging these things, Shōji also headed towards the location of Torture and Interrogation Force as soon as possible. He needed to obtain the most comprehensive information as soon as possible from Ogata Jōnin, who was responsible for counter-reconnaissance.
In espionage warfare, we often pursue more efficient actions, and we must try our best to prevent the enemy from discovering them, so as to maximize the benefits. Once a trace of information is exposed in the action, the opponent will immediately take corresponding measures. Destroying the information and retreating are the most basic operations. Spies with stronger capabilities can further cause greater turmoil.
That kind of result is definitely not what the investigating party wants to see.
Therefore, be sure to use your troops quickly!
After finishing those chores in the shortest time, he rushed to Shōji in Torture and Interrogation Force without stopping. Jōnin Ogata, who was responsible for spy tracking and arresting this time, also obtained the information from Ōnoki a little earlier.
"Shōji-kun!"
When seeing the arrival of Shōji, the person in charge of Torture and Interrogation Force, who was almost twice as old as Shōji, was not surprised. When greeting him, there was still a hint of Respectfully, this is not only because of Shōji's status as the deputy squad leader of Jōnin Squad, but also because of Shōji's personal strength and Ōnoki's trust.
Due to emotions and reasons, Ogata must show a certain degree of respect when facing the general. The general will not be rude in any way. He quickened his pace slightly, came to Ogata, bowed slightly and said, "Ogata-san, I am ordered by Lord Tsuchikage. , I'm here to assist Ogata-san in handling this Konoha spy case. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask me. If it's convenient now, please tell me in detail what information our village has now!"
"Shōji, your words are serious, I should be the one to assist Shōji."
Ōnoki has clearly given the order. In this special mission, Shōji will be the main one. Ogata has also been mentally prepared for it. However, Shōji has such an attitude, but it is easy to be used. Ogata's face showed a hint of happiness. After nodding, he continued.
"As for that Wandering Miko, in addition to the most important information previously reported to Lord Tsuchikage, there are also some details, which are all here, as well as the intelligence obtained from the brain of the Konoha spy who was captured in advance. Shōji, you can take a look first!"
As he spoke, he also took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Shōji in front of him.
After Shōji opened it, he quickly scanned the above content. The focus was on the information obtained from the Konoha spy. It was obvious that this person was the biggest reason why his village could currently capture the traces of Wandering Miko.
Because this person is the operator of the walking witch!
"So, the current scope has been narrowed down to one of the thirty people mentioned above, right?"
Shōji asked with a serious expression after closing the scroll.
"Well, this is the closest judgment we can get based on the previous intelligence. If there is no further information, these people can only investigate one by one, but..."
"In that case, we will definitely alert the snake. It has been more than three days since the offline personnel were missing. Although we don't know what the regular contact time is on Konoha's side, but we will definitely notice something within three days. Once we expose something here, the other side is likely to retreat directly, right?"
Shōji took over and said.
"Yes, this is also the most troublesome point right now!"
Ogata smiled bitterly and said.
After all, the people on the list are at worst middle-level people in the village, responsible for important positions in a certain department. It is impossible to arrest all thirty people for interrogation at once, let alone how much trouble it will cause, Shōji, Ogata It is not impossible to do this forcefully, but you must bear the corresponding risks, that is, there must be this walking dirty witch among the thirty people. If not, the liability issues caused by this will be very serious.
On this point alone
Shōji and Ogata must act with caution. Even if Shōji has more information, these things are not enough for Shōji to grasp a specific person more clearly.
Time is so tight, so we will delay one more day here.
The chances of losing opportunities will be even greater!
"The investigation will still follow the established rhythm. We don't need to change this!"
Shōji After pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?"
"I will make three more preparations in private. One is to use this downline person to see if I can catch this guy. The second preparation is to deliberately spread the rumors and mix part of the truth with lies, saying that we have been able to determine the identity of the walking witch. She is a yellow-haired woman! This is to see if the opponent will take the initiative to expose her!"
Shōji certainly knows the facial features of Yakushi Nonō in Original Work, but he certainly can't say it so straightforwardly. Using such a method to reveal the information, Ogata will not be surprised at all.
"Is this a lie? It depends on whether the opponent is calm or not."
Ogata's eyes flashed slightly and he whispered.
To be honest, as a professional intelligence investigator, Ogata really doesn't think this method is very reliable, but considering the current situation, this is not a method among the methods!
Anyway, it is still worth a try.
"Well, let's settle it for now. I'll leave it to you to handle, Ogata-san. I'll confirm some suspicious points in the intelligence. I always feel that there's something fishy in it!"
"Yeah, I understand!"
Ogata also nodded and said.
Sharingan and Ogata of the Uchiha Clan have also fought against each other before, and he knows very well how insightful Sharingan is.
The boy in front of him has a Mangekyō Sharingan that is higher than the ordinary Sharingan. If there is hidden information that they have not discovered, Ogata believes that Shōji has a high probability of being detected!
