Chapter 257 The Fate of Spies (I)

After the situation in the Snow Country was completely stabilized, Bai Ye and Konan embarked on the journey back to the Hidden Rain Village.

When Bai Ye and Konan arrived at the port of the Snow Country, the rewards from the Snow Country finally arrived. Compared with the benefits brought by the Air Ninja Village, the rewards from the Snow Country were pitifully small.

Apart from a few ice-style ninjutsu that can only be performed in polar regions, the only rewards left are chakra fragments.

Bai Ye didn't quite understand at first, but he soon figured it out. Almost all the snow ninjas under the Snow Country were wiped out by him and Konan, and there were not many combat-capable ninjas left.

Fenghua Nutao did have some strength, but perhaps because of a mental breakdown, he died in the prison of the Snow Country, which made Fenghua Xiaoxue and Santaifu feel very sorry.

On the way back, Bai Ye did not choose to take the ship and directly arrive at the eastern part of the Fire Country.

Instead, he chose to land in the Land of Earth, preparing to travel within the Land of Earth for a period of time and complete the layout made five years ago.

Although Xiaonan was a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions because she was used to the mystery of the daytime.

As the journey progressed, Xiaonan gradually felt that something was wrong. If she wanted to return to the Rain Kingdom, she should follow the coastline, but Bai Ye kept taking her deep into the heart of the Earth Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Xiaonan couldn't help but ask:

"Bai Ye, we will reach the Iwagakure Village in two days. You don't want to challenge the Iwagakure Village, do you? The two great masters of the Iwagakure Village, Ohnoki, have mastered the bloodline elimination dust escape technique. He is not an ordinary ninja."

"It's better for us not to provoke him for the time being..."

Bai Ye's face looked a little strange. Did he look like the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble?
As a time traveler, he also knows the power of Dust Release. Dust Release is almost the only bloodline elimination technique in the original time and space. It can kill Susanoo instantly and is one of the most destructive ninjutsu in the ninja world.

If it weren't for the fact that Ōnoki's body was extremely fragile and his Dust Release was not very flexible.

Ohnoki had long been deified in the ninja world. Even if he didn't become a ninja god like the first Hokage, it was more than enough for him to surpass Hanzo of the Salamander and become a three-quarter god.

After all, the only ninjutsu that can stably restrain Dust Release is the chakra absorbing technique, apart from Dust Release.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Ye explained: "I have spies in the Iwagakure Village. I came here to meet with my subordinates and deal with some old matters."

"Old memories?" Xiaonan looked puzzled. Could Bai Ye have any old memories at his age? And when did Bai Ye place spies in the Iwagakure Village? It turned out that Bai Ye had ideas about the Iwagakure Village.

I hope Bai Ye won’t cause any huge chaos this time.

Not long after, Bai Ye and Konan appeared in the mountains outside the Iwagakure Village. With the help of the rocks on the Earth Country Plateau, they observed the desolate Iwagakure Village in the distance.

Iwagakure is a ninja village located in a plateau country. The architectural style of the village is extremely rough, emphasizing practicality above all else, and all resources are used to their maximum effect.

It is precisely because of the harsh geographical environment that the Iwagakure Village has always been the ninja village that took the initiative to initiate wars in every Ninja World War, and the targets of its invasions have always been large countries with abundant resources such as the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.

In the ninja world, only the Rain Country and the Wind Country are of little interest to the Hidden Rock Village.

Even in recent years, the Iwagakure Village has never stopped its activities in the surrounding small countries, always ready to bring them into its sphere of influence.

After patiently lying dormant in the mountains for a while, a ninja wearing an Iwagakure forehead protector quietly found the location of Bai Ye and Konan.

Just as Konan was about to take action to deal with the Iwa Ninja, he was stopped by Bai Ye.

"Xiao Nan, you always say that I'm too impulsive and extreme, but when you take action, you show no mercy at all."

Xiaonan's face changed slightly, and he looked at Baiye with dissatisfaction, seeming a little angry. At this time, the Rock Ninja took off his forehead protector, revealing a very handsome face, and said to Baiye and Xiaonan: "Master Baiye, this should be Master Xiaonan."

"Lady Konan is younger and more beautiful than I thought. She looks to be only sixteen years old."

After hearing the compliment from the Iwa Ninja, Konan's expression eased a lot. Although she was not yet twenty years old, she was already eighteen years old, and women always wished they were younger.

Bai Ye glanced at the Iwagakure ninja and then said, "Okay, okay, Kabuto Yakushi, report the information you have collected recently. It is not safe for you to stay here."

Yes, this Iwagakure ninja was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, the spy trained by Byakuya in Konoha.

Ever since being recruited as Byakuya's subordinate five years ago, Kabuto Yakushi has followed Byakuya's orders and joined the Root where Danzo is, and has been diligently collecting information about Konoha and the Root for Byakuya.

Apart from White Zetsu, Byakuya's understanding of Konoha also comes from Kabuto Yakushi.

Yakushi Kabuto did not let him down and reported a lot of useful information, so that even if Bai Ye did not stay in Konoha, he knew Konoha well.

Later, after Konoha ended the war with Kumogakure, Kabuto Yakushi was sent to Iwagakure Village to carry out missions. He has been in Iwagakure Village for two years now and has provided a lot of useful information to Byakuya.

After hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto nodded and began to report the information he had recently collected.

First of all, let's talk about the information about the Iwagakure Village. The Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village are still in many conflicts with Ōnoki.

Ōnoki's autocratic behavior made the two Jinchūriki quite dissatisfied, but they could do nothing about it.

Ōnoki was a disciple of the Second Tsuchikage and had been in charge of the Iwagakure Village for decades. In the eyes of the Iwagakure ninjas, his image was second only to that of the First Raikage.

Faced with such political enemies, they could only express their dissatisfaction with Ōnoki by wandering around the Land of Earth.

This is exactly the same as what Bai Ye remembered. In the original time and space, if the two Jinchūriki of Iwagakure did not have the habit of running away from home, it would not be so easy for Akatsuki to get rid of these two Jinchūriki.

After all, the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails are different from the half-baked Jinchuriki. Even if the blessings of the tailed beasts are put aside, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Gan are still extremely powerful ninjas.

Secondly, there is information about the bomber.

In the past two years, a talented young man has appeared in the Iwagakure Village. After only two years in the Ninja School, he has already possessed the strength of a Genin or even a Chunin.

He also has extremely amazing attainments in earth escape and has mastered explosive escape at a young age.

Although Explosive Release is not a bloodline limit, it has extremely amazing destructive power. In time, it is very likely that another Kage-level strongman will appear in Iwagakure.

But this genius did not give Ohnoki peace of mind. He bombarded the Iwagakure Village all day long, causing unrest in the entire village.

Ohnoki could only make this genius behave by taking him in as a disciple and putting him in solitary confinement.

And the name of this genius is Deidara.

After hearing the name, Bai Ye was stunned at first, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was very familiar with the name Deidara.

This guy was a model worker of the Akatsuki organization in the original time and space, and a chosen worker.
