This is a very good spy.
If the offline personnel had not been captured this time, it would have been really difficult for Iwagakure to capture the traces of this Wandering Miko. Of course, the most important point was the most important piece of information passed on by the other party at an inappropriate time. The combination of the two allowed Ogata and Iwagakure's counterintelligence personnel to find clues.
But even so, it is still very difficult to catch Wandering Miko, which is also Yakushi Nonō. As mentioned before, after the scope has been narrowed and further confirmed, a blanket search is required to truly capture this Konoha senior spy. Otherwise, we can only wait for her to show her cowardice.
But obviously, both of these are unrealistic. The former will give others a chance to react and run away directly. The latter is just gambling on others' ability and mentality. But how can a spy who can do this level be shaken by this small problem?
How Yakushi Nonō in Original Work was exposed, Shōji can't remember, or it was not mentioned at all in Original Work, but Shōji can be sure that Iwagakure definitely did not Yakushi Nonō was caught. The reason is very simple. Nonō died later due to manslaughter by Yakushi Kabuto. It is obvious that Yakushi Nonō successfully escaped from Iwagakure when he realized that he had been exposed.
It's just that Danzo obviously no longer believes it, or perhaps feels that the value of Nonō has been fully utilized. By the way, in order to further control Yakushi Kabuto, a fight between mother and son Yakushi Kabuto and Nonō was arranged!
However, Danzo shot himself in the foot.
This is a negative teaching material that Shōji will definitely keep in mind, but it is also warning Shōji that there is not much time left for him.
The location and identity of Yakushi Nonō must be locked as soon as possible. If Nonō escapes smoothly, or if he dies under the manslaughter of Yakushi Kabuto like Original Work, then Shōji will really feel a little regretful!
'I hope I can gain something from those locations. As long as I can capture the slightest trace or Chakra fluctuation, Yakushi Nonō, I will definitely be able to lock your location! '
Shōji The scarlet Sharingan, which was already turned on, was thinking secretly in his heart while heading towards some special place!
Almost at the same time.
Iwagakure, in the residential area on the east side, inside a two-story building slightly close to the Iwagakure medical institution, a woman with a slightly plump body and a beautiful face stood on the second-floor balcony, her hands clenched slightly with force, and there was a trace of worry and impatience on this woman's face.
'Half a day has passed since the regular contact. It seems that Xian has been exposed. The previous intelligence transmission has already left some traces of leaks. If Xian is caught this time, it will be a matter of time before my identity is dug out. Although there are still some back-up preparations, it is better to evacuate here! '
There was a hint of thoughtfulness in this woman's pupils, and she was thinking silently in her heart that she was the real target of Shōji and Ogata this time, that is, Konoha, or to be precise To put it simply, he is the most important spy arranged by Danzo in Iwagakure, code-named Wandering Miko, Konoha Ninja named Yakushi Nonō!
And her current identity in Iwagakure is that of a professional medical staff in the hospital. Yes, this is the identity that Yakushi Nonō arranged for herself before sneaking into Iwagakure. After comprehensive consideration, she even further found a person whose body shape and appearance were at least 45% similar to hers, and then came in as an imposter.
Because the ordinary Transformation Technique is easily seen through by those powerful Iwagakure Ninja. Only this kind of disguise will not be easily exposed. It is precisely because of this that with the help of The chaos of Third Shinobi World War sneaked into Iwagakure, Nonō. In the past few years, there has been no risk of exposure at all. This time it was actually because he was implicated by his own offline people.
The codename was learned, the traces were discovered, and it was only a matter of time before the true identity was revealed. But Nonō was Nonō after all. Not only was she prepared in advance, but she also responded quickly. In the half day of regular contact just now, she was not waiting blindly, but rather started from the moment she did not receive the contact on time.
Nonō started to arrange the next plan.
Then we waited to see if there was an accident. If it was finally determined to be a false alarm, everyone would be happy. But if an accident really happened, Nonō could escape in the shortest time.
And the most important point is that in fact, on the list that Ogata provided to Ōnoki and Shōji, there was no identity that Nonō was pretending to be at this moment. The main reason was that Ogata had entered into a misunderstanding, thinking that in order to obtain this important information, he must have a certain status in the village.
But they did not consider that as long as those who have the ability to contact these high-ranking people have a certain probability of obtaining this information!
The hospital is such a special institution.
This is also the biggest reason why Nonō had to choose such an identity to infiltrate Iwagakure.
Ninjas are easily injured!
Injury requires hospitalization.
Then the medical staff in the hospital can have many opportunities to obtain corresponding information during the treatment and nursing process. This is the brilliance of Nonō.
Although according to the current search direction of Ogata, as long as a comprehensive investigation is carried out, there is still a high probability that Nonō's identity can be locked later, but it will definitely take more time than before.
Such a time deviation is completely enough for Nonō to easily leave Iwagakure. It can be said that in this level of confrontation, Nonō completely has the upper hand.
Without the arrival of Shōji, Nonō is 99% able to escape, leaving only one percent chance for Ogata. Now with the help of Shōji, the probability will increase significantly, but it is still 50-50, or even 46 or even 37. After all, Nonō is still in the dark at the moment, and his advantage is very obvious.
Anyway, Nonō has made up his mind. As long as tonight passes and no contact is received, his back-up preparations and contacts should be almost done. He will evacuate Iwagakure directly. As for the reply from his village, if he really waits for the order to arrive, his body will probably be cold. Besides, there is an additional piece of intelligence information this time.
Nonō believes that there is still a high probability that he will be exempted from accountability.
'Uzumaki Clan's bloodline? Iwagakure What good luck! '
Nonō took a deep look at the Iwagakure hospital, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness of the house behind him.
Next comes the real confrontation.
Underneath this seemingly calm and peaceful surface, things began to fluctuate at this moment!
Both sides have their own plans.
While pressing forward step by step.
While starting to plan his retreat route.
That afternoon and night.
When Shōji and Ogata took action respectively, Nonō also launched his own backup plan. Especially after receiving some special rumors later, Nonō became even more vigilant.
It was also at that moment.
She was truly sure that she was completely exposed.
On the one hand, she used special channels to transmit her corresponding information back to Konoha and requested rescue. On the other hand, she actually began to arrange her own evacuation route. Although time was very tight, the more so, the calmer Nonō became. She knew very well that she was still safe now.
Including the hospital's schedule, she still attends the shifts as normal, not to mention that she also plans to see if she can further obtain the corresponding cell information from Reina. In this way, as long as she returns to Konoha, she will have more capital!
Of course, in addition to this, Nonō himself has made some extra preparations. Nonō knows very well what kind of person Shimura Danzō is, although at this time Nonō feels that he still has considerable value.
Shimura Danzō should not give up on himself, but how can you be sure about this kind of thing?
If there is really no preparation at all, the real death date will be determined when the end comes. This is not only for myself, but also for the children in the orphanage, as well as Yakushi Kabuto who actively choose to join Danzo Root.
I have to go back alive.
This is the belief that Nonō can stick to until now!
And just like Shōji who just came to this world, Nonō still trusts Third Hokage. She believes that she can get corresponding treatment based on her merits.
This is one of the reasons why Nonō has always insisted on not giving up.
All of this is being carried out in an orderly manner. It can be said that Nonō's plan is watertight. It goes well here, but it is very difficult for Ogata and Shōji. Not only is there still not much progress on Ogata's side, the bait and rumors deliberately released have no effect at all. During the comprehensive investigation, there are some surprises.
The identity of Wandering Miko was not confirmed, but another spy of Kumogakure was captured. This has to be said to be both an unexpected gain and a huge trouble. Of course, what Ogata and Shōji don't know is that the reason why this Kumogakure spy was exposed was because of the tricks done by Nonō!
A good spy should prepare some shields for himself at any time. These people can be thrown out as bait at critical moments to buy himself time. The identity of this Kumogakure spy has been found out by Nonō without him realizing it!
This time it was Nonō who noticed something strange.
Then take the initiative to expose this spy.
The purpose is to confuse the line of sight and make Iwagakure's investigation more difficult, so that she can get more opportunities to escape!
But this obviously made Shōji and Ogata uncomfortable.
Even Shōji went to investigate it himself, but no further information was found. All the investigation work stayed at the previous stage. This was already very frustrating for Shōji, but now such a thing has happened again.
Shōji I don't even know what to say.
"So, this is Kumogakure's spy, not Konoha's?"
Shōji looked at Ogata with a very ugly expression and said, Sharingan was clearly not turned on, but his eyes were all a little red, including Ogata in the opposite position., it is common for major ninja villages to arrange spies in each other's villages. It is only on the surface that they are not exposed, but in fact, every year, the spies of major ninja villages have a certain probability of being exposed. They are caught and interrogated, and they are forced to ask for a series of information. Except for those who can instigate rebellion, all the remaining ones are dead.
There are very few spies who can really live a long time, complete all tasks, and return to the village smoothly!
But this Wandering Miko is obviously one of the very few spies with extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. At first, he thought that he had a certain intelligence advantage and had a high probability of catching Nonō's Shōji. It was only after he personally experienced it for half a day and one night that he finally realized that this was his knowledge blind spot!
In a head-on battle, none of a hundred Nonōs can be a match for Shōjis.
But in this kind of spy war, even a hundred Shōji tied up may not be as good as Nonō. Ogata, an experienced professional, was played by Nonō to the point of applause. You can see how high the level of Nonō is!
That is to say, in Original Work, Danzo made another stupid move, otherwise Nonō would really have retired from Iwagakure. In the future, it is possible that Konoha will bring more information dividends again, so I can only say that in terms of prodigality, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō are really professionals!
It's just a member of the Huohuo family who is afraid that their village will be too strong.
"Yes, I originally thought that the person sitting opposite me would not be able to sit down, but I didn't expect that it was someone else. Now the direction of the investigation is in trouble!"
Over the years, not a hundred spies have been arrested, but eighty or ninety. Although most of them are the lowest-level spies, after ten years of investigation career, Ogata has still encountered some difficult enemies, but no matter how difficult those people are, they are still nothing compared to the Wandering Miko of Konohagakure!
To put it bluntly, so far, they have received very little accurate information. Even though the investigation seems to be going smoothly, please note that as mentioned before, this is the most rigid method. By the time you finish the investigation, they will have already evacuated!
Shōji also realized this, so he wanted to find another way, but every road was blocked!
"The only way is to use death. I hope the other side doesn't notice it so quickly. Next, I will take charge of the personnel on that side. The investigation on this side will continue to be left to you Ogata-san. Some people are not very important. I think we can be a little tougher. After all, this spy is still very harmful!"
Shōji After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said.
Ogata obviously understood the meaning of Shōji's words, and his face changed slightly at the moment, but after also considering the information that had been leaked before, Ogata also took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said, "I understand, Mr. Shōji, then let's do it!"
"Yeah!"
Time is running out.
Four days have passed since the Konoha offline spy was caught. It is no longer possible to take a chance and think that others did not notice anything strange, let alone that they took the initiative to cast the net. This is a very clear signal, and even Shōji feels that the Kumogakure spy was caught because of the work of that Yakushi Nonō, in order to mislead their sight!
Although there was no evidence, Shōji's intuition told him so.
Next is the real rush of time!
Shōji has a hunch that if they can't catch this Wandering Miko within today, they will 100% never catch him again.
"Then, I leave this place to you!"
Shōji nodded slightly, and then he was about to leave.
Suddenly.
"Huh!?"
Shōji frowned slightly as if he smelled a special smell.
"Shōji-kun?"
The action came to a sudden halt.
This caused Ogata in the opposite position to ask with a hint of doubt.
Shōji did not answer immediately, his brows were still furrowed, showing a hint of thinking.
This is a feeling like a flash of inspiration.
"Ogata-san, do you smell something like that?"
This was a purely subconscious question, and it seemed a bit rude. Ogata was slightly startled, feeling a little confused.
After Shōji reacted, he continued to explain, "I don't mean anything else, I mean, Ogata-san, did you spray something on your body? There is a very light fragrance? But it seems to have a bit of other pungent smells?"
Although I don't quite understand why Shōji suddenly asked such a question at this moment, Ogata still directly Responded: "Oh? It's the smell of wound spray. I was arresting that Kumogakure yesterday. When was spying, I accidentally suffered a slight injury. Since it was not serious, I felt there was no need to seek treatment from Medical Ninja, so I just dealt with it casually. This was probably some of the smell left by the spray."
"What's wrong? Shōji, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Wound? Spray? Smell? Hospital? Smell? Hospital?"
When I heard Ogata's words, all the information seemed to be connected in an instant. Although Shōji personally went to some places where traces were left to investigate alone, there was indeed no valuable information, but it definitely cannot be said that there was nothing gained. Although it was a very light smell, it was a smell that ordinary ninjas could not smell at all.
But Shōji may be because he started to practice Senjutsu. After being able to sense a trace of Natural Energy, his perception of the surrounding atmosphere became more acute.
Shōji didn't pay much attention to this smell before, and thought it might be the smell of ordinary cosmetics on women. Unlike Ogata, Shōji clearly knew that Wandering Miko was a woman, so he didn't care much about it. Isn't it normal for female homosexuals to have some fresh fragrance on their bodies?
But at this moment, Shōji discovered that this was not the smell of so-called cosmetics, but the smell of some kind of medical supplies. This was a special smell that could only be produced in major medical institutions or in the homes of medical staff.
"So that's it? So that's it!?"
Shōji's increasingly bright eyes and subconsciously slightly raised volume made Ogata in the opposite position even more confused.
"Eh?"
First he asked about the smell, and then after muttering to himself for a while, he suddenly shouted.
This made Ogata confused.
In that moment, Ogata even had such nonsensical thoughts as "Did this genius Uchiha Clan have a brain convulsion?"
But it was only for a moment that Ogata, who also reacted quickly, realized that Shōji might have discovered something.
"Shōji-kun, did you discover something!?"
This is what he asked quickly.
"Yes, Ogata-san, when I went to re-examine the previous scene, I smelled a faint fragrance. I didn't pay attention to it before, but the smell on your body just now was somewhat similar to that fragrance!"
"This scent has a special smell only in the hospital. In other words, the apparent identity of this Wandering Miko is definitely a medical staff in our hospital. All our previous judgments were wrong. It does not necessarily have to be a person in an important position in the village to obtain confidential information. Some key medical personnel in the hospital can also do it! Because they can easily get close to our injured companions and use some small tricks to obtain the most important information!"
Shōji said in a very determined tone.
And Ogata was also struck by lightning, his body suddenly shook, and the next moment, a look of surprise and annoyance appeared on his face.
"Is that so?"
Although this cannot be a 100% certain judgment.
But there is no doubt that this is the most likely choice. At least Ogata is willing to believe in Shōji's judgment. It is impossible for this young man to joke about this kind of thing, and from a general point of view, it makes perfect sense!
"Without further delay, let's set off immediately! Mr. Shōji!"
"Yeah!"
The road ahead is blocked, and a comprehensive investigation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the end, it will most likely be a meaningless death method. Now is the moment where we have to race against time. Not to mention that Ogata also feels that Shōji's judgment is very reliable.
Even if it is really a dead horse and a living horse doctor, Ogata must still have a hard time.
Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be in vain!
The searches carried out during this period were not just to catch one or two minor characters!
This is a Konoha spy fish.
It is Ogata who must pursue and capture the existence!
The moment.
Shōji and Ogata also immediately led a dozen of their subordinates and rushed towards the location of their Ninja Village Hospital.
One second faster here, the probability of catching that Wandering Miko will be one point higher!!!
