Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

As time went by, another half a year passed, and Dihuangwan had a deeper understanding of the situation and secrets of the Hidden Mist Village. Most of the information sent back to Konoha was about the general direction of the Hidden Mist Village in the future, which was extremely important!

This was very difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to understand. He wondered what department of Kirigakure that Dihuangmaru had sneaked into, and why he repeatedly sent back top secret intelligence! Could he have infiltrated Kirigakure's think tank? !

You know, among the three ninjas from the Root who infiltrated Kirigakure as spies, none of the information they sent back was as confidential as Dihuangwan, and one of them was even exposed. Now there are only two left!

Dihuangmaru knew that Kirigakure had captured Konoha's spies some time ago, because Kirigakure not only captured Konoha's spies, but also captured spies from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sand Village and even the Rain Country.

The top leaders of Kirigakure launched a massive purge of Kirigakure Village, causing a great impact on the spy networks deployed by various villages in Kirigakure!

The reason for this massive purge was the information sent back by Dihuangwan, which caused Kirigakure's operations outside to suffer repeated setbacks, making the Third Mizukage furious!

However, although the cleansing operation was quite effective, no one had discovered the deepest nail, the Rehmannia Pill.

Because, since Dihuangwan arrived at the Hidden Mist Village, he has never left the Terumi clan's residence. No matter how others guess, they can't guess that Dihuangwan has such a buggy skill of gas perception! So that he doesn't have to hide around like a regular spy to collect intelligence!

The only possibility of exposure is that when Dihuangwan uses the psychic technique to transmit information, he needs to use chakra and generate space fluctuations! Only ninjas with perception and time and space talents can discover it!

But Dihuang Wan was always very cautious when passing on information, and would always use the Qi sensing technique to check before passing on the information!

As for the ninja with the gift of time and space, that thing only exists in Konoha Village!

"The Third Mizukage conducted a spy purge in Kirigakure and captured one Root spy, two Iwagakure spies, two Kumogakure spies, one Sandgakure spy, and one Amegakure spy. It is expected that there will be a big move soon!"

In Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the latest information sent back by Dihuangmaru and frowned. Of course he knew that the Root had lost a spy, but he didn't expect that Kirigakure would make such a big move and captured so many spies from various villages!

No matter how you look at it, you know that a big move is about to happen. Before the big move happens, you have to clean up the small bugs in your village first to prevent the news from leaking out!

After taking two puffs of his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned two advisors, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, the Anbu captain Hatake Sakumo, the Root commander Shimura Danzo, and his disciple Orochimaru, all of whom are currently the core members of Konoha Village!

After everyone arrived, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "One of the Root's spies planted in Kirigakure has been captured. The rest of the spies are now in silence, avoiding the limelight!"

"Monkey, did you call us here to hold me accountable?" Shimura Danzo spoke. Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned the loss of a spy at the beginning, which made Shimura Danzo feel a little embarrassed!

"No, Danzo, I'm not here to call you to task!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"In addition to the Root spies, Kirigakure has eliminated a large number of spies from various village forces. This is the information I received!" After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the information passed back by Dihuangmaru to everyone!

"What?! Monkey you?! There are other spies planted! What do you mean? Don't you trust me?" Danzo Shimura couldn't sit still without even looking at the intelligence, and questioned Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Seeing the tense atmosphere and knowing the whole story, Hatake Sakumo stepped out to help, "Danzo-sama, please be more respectful to Hokage-sama! You are overreacting! This is not a matter of trust or not! Planting spies is not the personal responsibility of your Root! I, the Anbu, also have my responsibilities! We should not interfere with each other!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Hatake Sakumo and thought to himself, "He's sensible!"

Then he said, "Danzo, calm down and take a look at the information first!"

Danzo looked at Hatake Sakumo hatefully, snorted coldly, and stopped talking!

After a while, everyone had read the information.

"Teacher, what this information means is that Kirigakure is going to make a big move, and the purpose of eliminating spies is to prevent the subsequent actions from leaking out!" Orochimaru, who had been silent, spoke.

"Yes, Orochimaru, that's what I mean!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Huruzen, what do you mean by calling us all here?" asked Utane Koharu.

"The various actions of Kirigakure indicate that the Second Ninja World War is about to come, and Kirigakure must take the initiative to seize the initiative!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The previous reform of the border patrol team's formation was for prevention purposes. Now, I have decided to carry out a spy elimination operation in Konoha Village as well!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said again.

After he finished speaking, the people below looked at each other, thinking about it, and no one answered for a while.

"My Konoha is located in the heart of the Land of Fire, occupying the most fertile land. It is the fat piece of meat in the eyes of the other four nations! Once the Ninja World War begins, the Land of Fire will be attacked from all sides and face a multi-front war! Therefore, before the war, my Konoha Village must have the most spies planted!"

"The actions of Kirigakure remind me that it is particularly important to eliminate spies and ensure stability in the rear!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Monkey, let me, the Root, carry out this cleanup mission!" said Shimura Danzo, "I will make the spy regret coming to Konoha!"

"Lord Danzo, it is our Anbu's responsibility to eliminate the spies. It would be better if we have a division of labor!" Hatake Sakumo said.

"Sakumo! Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your seniors?" Danzo Shimura was furious, and he acted like a senior and started scolding Hatake Sakumo!

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted the two's argument, "Stop arguing. I've decided that the Anbu and Root will each send out a team, and Orochimaru will also bring your own Anbu team, a total of three teams, to carry out the spy elimination operation together!"

"In addition, I will notify the Uchiha Guard and ask them to cooperate with your actions!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Finally, Konoha's operation to eliminate spies officially began!

However, the conflict between Danzo Shimura and Sakumo Hatake also arose at this point!

Dihuangmaru didn't know that his intelligence would lead Sarutobi Hiruzen to launch a spy elimination operation in Konoha Village. At this time, Dihuangmaru had fallen in love with the feeling of cooking three meals a day!

"When I get married in the future, I will cook for Feiyun and my children at home whenever I have time. Just thinking about it makes me happy!" Dihuangwan thought.

"Alas, I have been carrying out the spy mission for more than a year. I wonder how Feiyun is doing now. I really miss this girl!" Dihuangwan's longing for Anma Feiyun was uncontrollable, and even his mood for cooking was not good!

"I don't know when I can be called back. According to the current situation, I'm afraid I will have to wait until World War II breaks out!" Dihuang Wan thought.

A week later, the Konoha spy elimination operation was successful! The result made the Konoha high-level officials shudder!

Eliminate the four Iwagakure spies! The three Sandgakure spies! The three Kirigakure spies! The four Kumogakure spies! The four spies from the other small countries!

There are so many spies planted in Konoha by various villages! These are just the ones that have been discovered. There are still many who are well hidden and have not been exposed!

The spy networks of various villages in Kirigakure and Konoha were hit one after another, forcing each village to start cleaning out the spies in its own village, making spy the most dangerous profession!
