Chapter 267 The Suspicious Danzo

[Jounin Nono joined the Akatsuki organization, and you obtained the 'Walking Miko's Intelligence Expertise']

[The intelligence expertise of the walking priestess: Nono, who served in various countries in the ninja world for more than ten years, summarized a set of quick spy methods after retiring to an orphanage]

After hearing the system prompt sound in his ear, Bai Ye casually clicked to receive the reward.

He actually didn't care much about what the reward for recruiting Nono was. The biggest reward was to be able to use Nono to lock the genius Kabuto Yakushi into the Akatsuki organization.

After shaking hands with the new member Nono, Bai Ye looked at the Yakushi Kabuto standing beside him and said, "President Nono has joined the Akatsuki organization. What are your plans for the future, Kabuto?"

Yakushi Kabuto was stunned at first, then he showed a look of gratitude.

As his superior, Bai Ye was actually willing to ask for his opinion before issuing a mission. This was completely different from Danzo Shimura, who was so omnipotent in the Root organization that even the orders of the Hokage were useless.

Any ninja who disobeys Danzo's orders will be severely punished.

After a moment's silence, Yakushi Kabuto said to Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, I plan to continue my mission of lurking in Konoha and collect intelligence on the major forces in Konoha for you."

Bai Ye glanced at Yakushi Kabuto and said, "How are you going to explain to Danzo when you go back? This time, Danzo ordered you and Nono to kill each other."

Yaoshi Kabuto understood that Bai Ye was testing his ability to perform on the spot, so he said, "I will report the mission of solving the traitor this time, because the force majeure failed, and provide more important information."

Hearing this, Bai Ye nodded with relief.

Kabuto Yakushi is worthy of being a triple spy in the original time and space. He was able to outwit Danzo and Scorpion. Later, he even planned the Fourth Ninja World War and fought against the Five Major Ninja Villages together with Obito.

After looking at Pharmacist Dou for a few seconds, Bai Ye took out two scrolls of secret techniques and handed them to Pharmacist Dou amid the other party's uneasy mood.

"Dou, these are two secret techniques I acquired not long ago, which are perfect for you to practice."

Yaoshi Dou happily took over the secret technique and said respectfully to Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, I will definitely fulfill my duty and complete your mission."

Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "The information is not important. What is important is to save your life. Your life is far more important than the information about Konoha. Remember to return to Konoha and protect yourself."

The secret technique that Bai Ye gave to Kabuto Yakushi was none other than the body revitalization technique and dark medical ninjutsu that he obtained from Shennong.

Naturally, these two secret techniques did not have much effect in his eyes, as his bloodline was already nearly as dense as Asura's. It was difficult for him to completely surpass the Five Kage and reach the level of a Super Kage.

But for a ninja like Kabuto Yakushi who only has the strength of a Chunin, it is different.

After obtaining the Body Activation Technique and Medical Ninjutsu, with Kabuto Yakushi's talent, he will be able to quickly master these two secret techniques, and then prepare some gadgets to enhance his strength.

It would not be difficult for Kabuto Yakushi to catch up with Kakashi and become an elite jonin in the ninja world.

Only after becoming an elite jonin can Kabuto Yakushi become a qualified chess piece and be manipulated by Bai Ye on the big chessboard of the ninja world.

For the next two weeks, Kabuto Yakushi continued to learn body revitalization and dark medical ninjutsu.

Bai Ye also obtained a lot of medical information from Orochimaru's laboratory and gave it to Kabuto Yakushi to read, helping him to quickly improve his medical skills.

Along with the reply to the report that Kabuto Yakushi sent to Danzo, Kabuto Yakushi finally received the order to return to Konoha.

...root base.

Danzo was sitting in a small dark room, receiving Kabuto Yakushi who had returned from the Iwagakure Village.

After reading through Kabuto Yakushi's mission report again, Danzo tapped the table with his fingers and asked Kabuto Yakushi with narrowed eyes:
"Kabuto, are you saying that because of the attack on Iwagakure, your mission to deal with the Root traitor failed? That traitor didn't show up at the planned location at all?"

Pharmacist Kabuto nodded and said:

"Master Danzo, I failed to do my job properly. Please punish me."

Danzo glanced at Kabuto Yakushi, as if to confirm whether Kabuto Yakushi was lying. The task he gave to Kabuto Yakushi and Nono this time was intended to make people lose their emotions and become complete tools in his hands.

Unlike other departments of Konoha, Root Ninjas do not need humanity, all they need is obedience.

Among the ninjas who grew up in the Root, a large portion of them only grew into a qualified Root ninja after completing the mission of killing their friends and loved ones.

If Kabuto Yakushi can complete this task, he can naturally become a tool in his hands.

If Kabuto Yakushi couldn't bear it, Nono, whose 'memory' was modified by him, would kill this defective product Kabuto Yakushi with his own hands.

Both situations were part of his plan, but reality went beyond his plan.

When Kabuto Yakushi was carrying out the mission of killing Nono, the Iwagakure Village was attacked by unknown ninjas, and Nono was implicated.

When he heard the news, Danzo suspected that Kabuto Yakushi had deceived him.

However, other spies of the Root in the Iwagakure Village told him that the Iwagakure Village was indeed attacked last night. The scale of the attack was so large that even the elite jonin Huangdi and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki were alarmed.

Kabuto Yakushi might be able to join forces with other ninjas to deceive him, but it is impossible for him to join forces with the Third Tsuchikage.

After a long pause, Danzo asked, "From which direction did the attackers attack the Iwagakure Village? Does the Iwagakure Village have any conclusion?"

Pharmacist Kabuto frowned and thought, then recalled:
"It seems to be from the southeast of Iwagakure Village. As for whether it is from Kumogakure Village or another ninja village, I don't know. This is also a core secret in Iwagakure Village."

"Southeast direction?" Danzo frowned.

If it was before the night of the Nine-Tails, when he heard the southeast direction of Iwagakure Village, he would have thought of Kumogakure Village and Sunagakure Village. Both Kumogakure Village and Sunagakure Village had the motive and strength to attack Iwagakure Village.

But after the rise of the Hidden Rain Village, his first suspicion was the Hidden Rain Village.

Apart from the famous demigod, the person who impressed him the most in the Hidden Rain Village was Bai Ye. Although Bai Ye had been cooperating with him secretly, he could not possibly trust Bai Ye.

After all, if it weren't for Byakuya, he would have already formed an alliance with Salamander Hanzo.

Maybe after the Night of the Nine-Tails, he will be able to successfully become the fifth Hokage of the village through the influence of Hanzo of the Salamander.

However, if the attack on Iwagakure Village was really done by Bai Ye.

What exactly does Bai Ye want to do? Although the current strength of the Hidden Rain Village is not weak, it is definitely not a match for the Hidden Rock Village. Rashly provoking a war will only benefit other ninja villages.

Could it be that Bai Ye imitated his previous strategy, disguised himself as a ninja from another ninja village, and attacked the Hidden Rock Village? In an attempt to start a new round of ninja war?
