Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Sloppy? Greasy?

Yamanaka Kei subconsciously touched his face. Well, his current appearance does indeed match the description.

But this was the first time in his life that someone had ever criticized his appearance.

No, no, that's not right.

That's not the point. The point is, who wants to sleep with someone?

Is he that kind of person?

"Phew... When I said 'take a nap,' I meant you should sleep for a while, not that you should sleep with me."

Yamanaka Keishin took several breaths and patiently explained to Yakushi Nonou.

"A secret route?"

Yakushi Nonou frowned slightly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that some highly classified routes involved blindfolding or putting people to sleep during transfers to ensure maximum security.

If such a route existed, it would indeed be much safer than the retreat route she had prepared in advance.

"Hmm, are you coming or not?"

Yamanaka scratched his cheek and asked a question in return.

For him, leaving Kumogakure safely while the entire village was under lockdown was not difficult.

The simplest way is to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to directly teleport.

As for what to say when the Third Hokage asks about the mission upon returning to the village, that depends on the attitude of those old guys.

If we don't cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind having a period of peace.

They used the excuse that the water-transfer technique could be used to move groundwater to deal with their tasks.

But if the old guys start causing trouble, then I'm sorry, Hokage, you should step down. It's the era of the young people now.

"Can the secret route accommodate multiple people? I also discovered two Konoha spies before."

Yakushi Nonou asked again.

Although the intelligence members did not know each other at all, they were not allowed to contact each other or reveal their identities in principle.

However, during her previous intelligence gathering, through observation and analysis, she also discovered two spies who were also from Konoha.

Given the current situation within Kumogakure, if they don't retreat soon, they will inevitably be captured.

Once the village's vital intelligence is leaked.

No one knows what terrible consequences it will cause.

"...No problem, one hour from Training Ground No. 14 on the east side."

Shan Zhongjing paused for a moment, then pointed to a location very close to a tributary of an underground water vein.

Although he didn't know how many Konoha spies had infiltrated the Hidden Cloud Village.

But since they've worked so hard for Konoha, he naturally wouldn't mind lending a hand if he could.

"clear."

Yakushi Nonou did not go to meet up with Yamanaka Kei again, but turned around and headed towards the mission reception area.

An hour later.

Cloud Hidden Training Ground No. 14.

Yakushi Nonou and two male ninjas arrived at Training Ground 14 from different directions.

Hidden underground in the mountains using Earth Release: Earth Dive, Jing glanced at the two people's profile pages.

They were undoubtedly Konoha spies.

It slowly rose from the ground and gave a secret signal to Yakushi Nonou and the two of them to identify themselves.

"Phew~"

The two male ninjas looked delighted and quickly returned the same coded signal.

This morning, when they learned that Cloud Village was under complete lockdown and a large-scale search for spies had begun, they felt like the sky had fallen!

We can only prepare for the worst, destroy all data and intelligence, and wait for further investigation in hopes of getting away with it.

No one knew better than them what would happen to spies if they were caught.

The opportunity to evacuate now is like a lifeline for them!

"Miyako, shall we begin?"

Yamanaka Kei did not call Yakushi Nonou by her given name, but rather by her code name.

"Hurry up, if we act too hastily, I can't guarantee that we won't leave any loopholes."

Yakushi Nonou nodded.

The other two male ninjas also nodded in agreement.

The art of Nirvana Abode!

Shan Zhongjing clapped his hands, and white feathers fell from around the three of them.

The three people staring at him felt a blur before their eyes, and the next moment they could not resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

He supported Yakushi Nonou, who was about to fall to the ground, with his right hand.

With his left hand, he was holding the belts of the other two ninjas.

With his eyes closed, he used the super spatial perception ability brought by the purple entry [Space-Time Insight] to quickly capture the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God, which was located dozens of kilometers outside of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Yamanaka Kei activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, causing the three of them to disappear from the spot.

sigh~

The scene before my eyes changes.

The rock pillars and loess that were originally the No. 14 training ground have been transformed into lush forests and shrubs.

This place is located more than 50 kilometers west of Yunyin Village.

They had long since left the daily patrol area of ​​the Hidden Cloud Village police force.

When Yamanaka Kei was traveling from the Land of Iron to the Hidden Cloud Village, he stopped here to rest and allow his hawk, Hidaka, to recover his strength.

He took out a map of the ninja world from the storage scroll.

After roughly marking the three people's current location, he put it into Yakushi Nonou's hand.

Looking at Nono, who had fallen asleep, her face showed less of the usual feigned cuteness and pitifulness, and appeared more serene and peaceful.

He grinned, closed his eyes for a moment, and then patted the other person's thigh.

"I hope you like this gift."

With a smile full of wicked humor.

With a clap of his hands, Yamanaka Kei created a shadow clone before quickly returning to his home in Kumogakure.

The shadow clone observed the surrounding environment.

He formed hand seals and used his half-baked Earth Release: Earthquake Core technique, causing the ground where the three of them were to sink a bit.

He then used Earth Release: Earth Cover to create a camouflage layer above the sinking ground.

After ensuring that he wouldn't be recognized by a passerby, he hid underground and concealed his figure.

It was close to midnight.

After sleeping for nearly ten hours, Yakushi Nono struggled to wake up from the dream created by the Nirvana Abode technique.

She squeezed the special paper map in her hand, then carefully surveyed the surrounding darkness to confirm her safety and that of the other two Konoha spies.

After fiddling around for a while, he finally used a kunai to cut a gash on the Earth Release: Earth Cover above his head.

The starlight illuminated her eyes.

Using the starlight, she checked the locations of the people on the map, and her tense body relaxed slightly.

Back in the pit, they checked on their two companions again.

Seeing that the two wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

Yakushi Nonou looked toward the river, which was only a hundred meters away.

With the idea of ​​redecorate, she set up a simple warning trap and then jumped into the somewhat icy river.

Quickly wash away the disguise on your face and body, and remove body odor.

A moment later, looking at the front of her thigh, there was a palm-sized, extremely conspicuous "正正正丅" mark.

She stubbornly wiped it for a long time.

At that moment, even though she had received professional training, she almost couldn't hold back her tears!

Ten, seventeen times? !

It's just borrowing the secret route...

"Um... I don't think so?"

Yakushi Nonou carefully checked her body's condition. After confirming that she was unharmed, she held back her tears, though her face turned pale and then flushed.

Good news, she wasn't actually sedated.

The bad news is, she doesn't believe that the mark was printed on her clothes!

Moreover... this thing clearly involves sealing techniques, and with her abilities, she simply cannot remove it!

If she explains it to others, will anyone believe her?

How will she go to hot springs in the future?

How do I go swimming?

How can I ever show my face in public like this?

"Rogue! Shameless! Pervert! Scumbag! Despicable bastard! You vile, sleazy, greasy man..."

Yakushi Nonou kept muttering to herself.

Even if they had done their part, they would have safely escaped from Kumogakure.

But the price...

------------

"Achoo~ Achoo~"

In the mountains far away in Yunyin Village, one sneeze after another in the middle of the night.

He sensed the memories transmitted back after the shadow clone disappeared.

He grinned.

It seems that Yakushi Nonou really likes his gift.

"Let's see if you dare to make malicious assumptions about me again."

I muttered something to myself.

Yamanaka Kei stood by the window, looking at the still brightly lit Cloud Village at past midnight.

I silently mourned for a second for the spies from the other ninja villages.

All ninjas are confined to their homes tonight and are not allowed to go out. In the area he can see, three battles have already broken out since tonight.

In other words, at least three spies have been arrested.

In order to eliminate the hidden dangers within the village as soon as possible and officially launch a war against Kirigakure, the leaders of Kumogakure are really going all out this time!

Boom!

Just as Shan Zhongjing was gazing at the night sky in a daze.

A ball of eerie blue flame, mixed with a dark glow, surged up from the streets and alleys several kilometers away.

???

The Two-Tails' chakra flames?!

Yukito?!

The Cloud Village's higher-ups, you're all eating shit! Your brains aren't even as sharp as Danzo's, are they?!

Killer Bee, one of the eight Jinchūriki, had just finished dealing with an incident.

At a time like this, you didn't even guard against those spies' last-ditch counterattack, allowing them to get close to Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?

And those secret agents, aren't you all usually so arrogant?

Why do they all suddenly develop diarrhea at crucial moments?

The scenery in the mountains changed several times.

Logically speaking, as a Konoha ninja, what business is it of him to be a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure?

But wasn't the reason he stayed in Kumogakure for Yugito?

If his butterfly wings were to blow away a little girl, would he ever be able to sleep well at night again?

Thinking of that pitiful little girl squatting by his door, hugging her knees, and then thinking of the happiness and joy that almost overflowed on his face as he played games, thinking of...

"The higher-ups of Kumogakure truly deserve to die!"

Yamanaka Kage gritted his teeth and cursed, then flung open the door and rushed out.
