Just as Xia Yan had expected, over the next few days, spies from other villages hidden in Konoha transmitted everything that had happened there through all sorts of channels.
Every village harbored some number of spies from other countries. There was nothing strange about that.
Even though Senju Natsuhiko's performance had established Konoha's unrivaled position in the shinobi world, spies still existed within it.
Those spies would not necessarily attempt any sabotage. They were not fools, after all. Having spent so long in Konoha, they naturally knew Xia Yan's temper.
Especially since this Hokage had demonstrated such tremendous combat power. Yesterday, in particular, they could practically be said to have witnessed legends firsthand.
So even if someone gave them the courage to cause trouble, they probably would not dare do anything-what if they were discovered, especially at a time like this?
