Chapter 258 The Fate of Spies (Part )
Deidara is a talented young man from Iwagakure. He has mastered the secret technique of Explosion Release at a young age. He can make all kinds of bombs with clay and even has the ability to fly.

If nothing unexpected happens, Deidara will most likely marry Kurotsuchi and become the Fourth Tsuchikage.

However, fate played a joke on Deidara. When he ran away from home to avoid confinement, Deidara met Uchiha who changed his life.

After being defeated by Uchiha Itachi, Deidara joined the Akatsuki organization and completely lost his chance of becoming the Tsuchikage.

Recovering his gradually dispersing thoughts, Bai Ye continued to ask about other information, such as the economic situation of the Iwagakure Village and the policies recently implemented.

Although these things have no tactical value, they have strong strategic significance.

Yakushi Kabuto nodded and talked about what he saw and heard in the Iwagakure Village. After listening to these stories, Bai Ye had a general understanding of the current situation of the Iwagakure Village.

After five years of recuperation, although the strength of the Iwagakure Village has not returned to its peak before the Third War, its strength should not be underestimated, and it still has the ability to launch a new round of war.

After asking Xiaonan to record the information, Bai Ye stared at Yakushi Kabuto and asked, "Kabuto, what new tasks has Danzo arranged recently?"

When Konan heard Bai Ye mention Danzo, she was slightly stunned.

She was very familiar with the name Danzo. Danzo was the enemy of the Akatsuki organization and also a high-ranking official of the Konohagakure. She was extremely surprised that Bai Ye had planted spies among Danzo's subordinates.

However, Xiaonan had no objection to Bai Ye's act of planting spies in the Root.

Danzo and Jiraiya are political enemies. The collaboration between Danzo and Hanzo almost led to the annihilation of the Akatsuki organization. If this guy hadn't always stayed in Konoha, they would have sent people to assassinate him long ago.

Yakushi Kabuto stuck out his tongue, revealing the mark of "tongue that kills evil" on it.

The mark of the Seal of the Tongue that Brings Out the Trouble is very small, but Bai Ye can see it very clearly. The Seal of the Tongue that Brings Out the Trouble is a unique curse mark at the root that can prevent the leakage of information.

It was the seal of the tongue that prevented Yakushi Kabuto from revealing information about the root.

After a slight hesitation, Bai Ye formed seals with his hands and patted Kabuto Yakushi's shoulders. Kabuto Yakushi could only feel an extra chakra in his body, and then the seal of the tongue-killing evil was released.

After realizing this, Yakushi Kabuto looked at Bai Ye with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Lord Bai Ye's abilities are even greater than he imagined, and he can even break curses like the Seal of the Tongue-Destroying Root of Evil.

Noticing the expression on Yakushi Kabuto's face, Bai Ye chuckled and said, "The Tongue-Destroying Curse Seal is a modified version of the Whirlpool Sealing Technique. Breaking this type of curse is nothing to me."

"Let's talk about the information about the Root and Danzo. I want to know what Danzo has been doing recently."

Pharmacist Kabuto said with some difficulty:

"Lord Bai Ye, I haven't returned to the Root for a long time. I don't know the specific situation of the Root yet. After completing this mission, I will continue to provide you with intelligence."

"What mission?"

Bai Ye's eyes dodged. He roughly guessed the mission of Yakushi Kabuto and asked deliberately.

Yakushi Kabuto said without hesitation: "It is a mission to eliminate the traitor. There is a Root spy lurking in the Hidden Rock Village who has become a traitor. Danzo asked me to deal with this traitor."

Bai Ye thought to himself, "As expected," he took out a bottle of water, handed it to Yao Shidou, and said, "Do you have any information about the traitor and any evidence of his betrayal?"

Yakushi Kabuto reached out to take the kettle, shook his head and said, "Danzo didn't give me this information, but only told me to take advantage of this traitor during the next meeting? Lord Bai Ye, are you saying that there is something fishy about this mission?"

"There must be something wrong with the mission that Danzo gave you. If this traitor really betrayed Konoha, he would definitely give you the corresponding information, but he didn't tell you anything."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued to analyze:
"Moreover, the mission of this Root ninja is the same as yours, to collect intelligence in the Land of Earth, and you have never communicated with each other before. This in itself is a huge suspicion, unless Danzo knew from the beginning that this spy would betray and intended for you to deal with him."

After hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto fell into deep thought.

He was a sharp-minded person and quickly realized the seriousness of the matter. According to Lord Byakuya's analysis, the mission sent by Danzo this time was full of doubts.

Either Danzo wanted to use his own hands to deal with the ninjas who were disloyal to him.

Either the traitor to be eliminated this time is not someone else but himself, otherwise Danzo should provide enough information, at least tell him who the target of the mission is.

Thinking of this, the frightened pharmacist Dou said to Bai Ye: "Thank you for your reminder, Lord Bai Ye. If it weren't for your reminder, I might have fallen into the trap this time."

Bai Ye smiled and helped Pharmacist Dou up: "Dou, you are a talent that I value. How can I bear to let you get hurt? Your future is more than just your current achievements."

Yakushi Kabuto didn't know why Bai Ye was so good to him, but he was always grateful.

If it weren't for Bai Ye's secret funding, the director's orphanage would have closed down long ago, and the other children growing up in the orphanage would not have been able to live a normal life.

After a moment of silence, Pharmacist Dou asked Bai Ye:

"Lord Bai Ye, what should I do next? Should I continue to carry out the mission? Or should I leave with you?"

"Keep on with the mission. I also want to see who Danzo is dealing with."

"Yes, Lord Byakuya." Yakushi Kabuto nodded. With Lord Byakuya's company, there was nothing to be afraid of even if the Root spy that Danzo asked him to deal with had the strength of an elite jonin.

However, an ominous premonition suddenly emerged in his heart, and he seemed to have guessed the other party's identity.

……

After meeting with Kabuto Yakushi, Byakuya and Konan stayed near the Iwagakure Village for a few days.

Some information is just hearsay. However, some things can only be answered accurately through field investigation. Although Bai Ye may not really attack the Iwagakure Village, this is Ōnoki's territory, so some preparations must be made.

That night, Bai Ye received another appointment from Yakushi Kabuto.

After meeting up with Kabuto Yakushi, the three of them headed towards the place where they had agreed to meet with the Root spy.

It is a secret training ground near the Iwagakure Village. It is usually a forbidden area of ​​the Iwagakure Village and is not open to the public. It is the best meeting place.

Half an hour later, a figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared in the shadow of the training ground.

This person clearly had traces of transformation techniques on him, and his steps down the cliff were also very experienced. After sensing this person's chakra, Bai Ye said to the uneasy Yakushi Kabuto:

"Kabuto, it turns out that the ninja that Danzo asked you to deal with is her. That old man Danzo is still as vicious as ever."
