Chapter 284 Who's really enjoying it?
The letter stated that Danzo personally visited the orphanage today and requested Yakushi Nonou to continue gathering intelligence for Root.

Yakushi Nonou had to leave immediately, without having time to say goodbye to the fox.

If Danzo were to show a kind heart, Yakushi Nonou might not return to Konoha until the end of Konoha year 41.

His eyes were lowered.

The damage to the roots is still not enough.

He thought the roots had learned a lesson from the experience, but he didn't expect that the roots had only become weaker, not better.

The next morning, Ye Guang entered Huang Quan's office.

"Minister, how did Root manage to obtain so much intelligence? Although our Dark Division can utilize that intelligence, we can't verify its authenticity," Nightlight said.

"I was prepared to carry out the assassination according to the list in the manual, but the thought that the intelligence was provided by someone else made me uneasy."

What if the information given is wrong?

The yellow dog understood the fox's concerns, and he said:

"Intelligence systems and espionage systems are a very complex legacy issue."

When the Third Hokage first took over the position, he had Danzo take over the Second Hokage's intelligence system.

Minister Danzo would secretly select spies every year and send them to other ninja villages, other countries, and other organizations.

This spy system was so highly secretive that no one except Minister Danzo could take it over.

Even if the Third Hokage replaces the head of the Anbu, those spies who have been infiltrating for five or ten years won't trust a newcomer.

Besides Yakushi Nonou, Danzo had many other top-notch spies under his command.

Having cultivated a spy network for over a decade, these spies formed one of the foundations of Danzo's power, solidifying his irreplaceable status.

Yellow Dog said, "To this day, I still don't know how Minister Danzo communicated with the spy chiefs of other ninja villages."

Fox, if you're interested, you can try to investigate, but be careful not to expose the spy.

Those spies were a valuable asset to Konoha, heroes who made enormous sacrifices for the village.

I admire those spies who infiltrate enemy villages for five or ten years without being exposed; the hardships they endure are indescribable.

Even something as simple as relaying information like price levels in enemy villages back to the village would be a tremendous help to Konoha.

"I understand."

In the land of a clan in the mountains.

Yamanaka Rie sat in the courtyard, sewing children's clothes.

A gentle smile occasionally appeared on her fair face.

Ye Guang leaned against a wooden pillar in the distance, gazing at Yamanaka Riri from afar.

He wanted to stay hidden, to remain in the shadows forever.

However, he could not remain alone forever.

A large net slowly appeared beside him, and on this net were many people he was becoming more and more familiar with.

These people together make up who he is now; he is no longer a stranger from another world.

He had a lover named Qiaoyi, and several mistresses including Xiaosan, Xiaosi, Xiaowu, and Xiaoliu, as well as familiar subordinates such as Baiyang and Hualu.

Now that he has more responsibilities, he needs to be more careful and cautious.

Ye Guang used the magic of the mayfly to leave.

In the courtyard, Yamanaka Rie suddenly looked up, but found nothing.

She sensed that someone had glanced at her.

Nightlight led the deer squad to the village entrance, flew out a kunai, nailed a village exit permit to the gate, and left the village.

The gatekeeper went to remove the kunai.

The gate was pitted and uneven, with countless holes dug out by a laborer.

"Who were those people just now? They were so fast I didn't even see them. These ninjas who get assigned urgent missions are so annoying; they'll break down this gate sooner or later."

"The one who led the team just now was a squad leader from the Dark Division! Haven't you seen the squad leader's cloak? It's not a low-key black cloak anymore, it's become a conspicuous white cloak."

"The squad leader, huh? He's certainly not afraid of being discovered."

Nightlight and the Flower Deer Squad quickly headed north. Root had sent intelligence that Takami, a Cloud Ninja skilled in Lightning Release, had left Kumogakure for a mission in the Land of the Moon.

Takami is an A-rank target in the assassination manual. He has been a Jonin for five or six years and is very strong.

Western part of the Moon Kingdom.

The warriors escorted a group of civilians into the mine.

Shin, a high-ranking nobleman from the Moon Kingdom, discovered a coal mine within his territory and forcibly conscripted many civilians to mine in the mountains.

The ragged civilians were tied together with ropes, in groups of twenty, and headed into the deep mountains.

A commoner boy named Osora, barefoot on the stones, his clothes tattered, quietly comforted his companions behind him:
"If we can escape once, we can definitely escape a second time!"

Two weeks ago, a mining accident occurred at the coal mine of the noble family Jinshanxin, killing more than 50 people.

A riot broke out when miners refused to use chisels to mine coal in the unsafe mine shafts.

The riot killed more than 100 miners, and more than 200 people escaped from the mountains.

They reached as far as the coast of the Moon Kingdom. Across the bay lies the Iron Kingdom. If they could enter the neutral Iron Kingdom, they could survive.

The nobles of the Moon Kingdom were unable to enter the Iron Kingdom to capture the runaway miners.

However, the appearance of the Cloud Ninja shattered all illusions.

Kumogakure Jonin Takami accepted a commission from the noble Chikayama Shin, rushed to the seaside, killed the leader of the rebellion, and stopped the remaining miners.

Takashi stood on the hillside, frowning as he looked down at the long line of miners who were tied up along the mountain path.

Why are these miners walking so slowly?

The squad member said, "Captain, these miners are hungry and can't walk fast. They betrayed Lord Xin of Jinshan, and that nobleman wants to starve them for a few days to teach them a lesson."

Gao Jian felt annoyed.

Every time he left Kumogakure, Takami felt as if he were surrounded by a subtle danger.

The feeling of leaving the village was even more pronounced this time.

Apart from Kumogakure, all other places are too dangerous.

This place is too close to the Land of Hot Springs; we could encounter ruthless Konoha ninjas at any time.

Many people in the village criticized the Third Raikage, saying that his policies were too weak.

Konoha attacked the Jinchuriki twice, but in the end, they only caused a two-month conflict on the border, gained nothing, and hastily ended the conflict.

If we could take over the Land of Hot Springs, Takami's mission would be much safer.

Takami wasn't one of those foolish martial arts enthusiasts; he understood that even as a Jonin, he could die at any moment.

After thinking it over, Gao Jian said, "Go to the back of the line and kill those sick and wounded miners. The nobles won't give us food, but we can't let them waste our time."

The Cloud Ninja members nodded and quickly moved to the back of the line.

He drew his ninja sword and killed three miners with leg injuries.

"Hurry up, all of you! Don't delay our mission!"

Seeing this, the miners behind pushed and shoved, crowding forward.

Panic spread among the miners.

They were hungry, most of their feet were blistered, and they were afraid that the ninjas would kill them, so they quickened their pace.

Ye Guang lowered the telescope.

The ninja world is a strange place.

A ninja with superpowers lives in the shadows.

The daimyo and nobles who wielded worldly power were constantly in danger of being assassinated by ninjas.

As for the common people, they endured the oppression of the nobles and worried about being killed by passing ninjas.

Everyone is having a terrible time, so who is actually enjoying it?
