Chapter 568 The Worst Incident in History
As a commander, Jiraiya left the most ninjas to himself and bore the greatest pressure.
The small unit he led had more than 60 ninjas, more than the so-called vanguard unit of Mu Yue.
This was actually a very dangerous thing when there were unknown spies in the unit.
So Jiraiya did not choose a certain place as a fixed base, and ran around every day to prevent the position from being exposed and surrounded.
"This is the vanguard of our reinforcements. More reinforcements will arrive soon, and then it will be our turn to fight back!"
Jiraiya summoned the troops to introduce Mu Yue who came to help, in order to boost morale.
After a tragic defeat, and then being chased around by the enemy, the morale of the Grass Country troops is now very low.
"It's Lord Mu Yue." Soon a ninja recognized Mu Yue and showed a happy expression.
Mu Yue is a strong man as famous as Minato Namikaze. Such a strong man, every additional one can have a certain impact on the battle situation.
"Lord Mu Yue once killed a Jinchūriki on the battlefield of Kirigakure. If he can kill a Jinchūriki of Iwagakure like that time, how arrogant will the Iwagakure troops be!" A Konoha ninja couldn't help thinking.
The two perfect Jinchūriki of Iwagakure put considerable pressure on the Konoha troops of the Land of Grass. No one wanted to have a Tailed Beast Ball appear on their face during the fight.
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the ninja troops after Mu Yue appeared, Obito's heart surged and he yearned for it.
The ninja he wanted to be was a ninja like Mu Yue, who could give people a great sense of security and end the war to save people from danger.
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze were very concerned about the expressions on the faces of the ninjas, but they didn't see any ninjas showing disdain or other bad expressions.
"It depends on Mu Yue's perception." Jiraiya was not surprised.
After all, it was a spy who could lurk in the ninja troops, and it should be basic to not show his emotions.
"Everyone hold on a little longer, the main force of the support troops will arrive soon, and the final victory will definitely belong to Konoha." Mu Yue encouraged with a warm smile.
With a bowl of chicken soup, Mu Yue quickly used identification on the ninjas in front of him.
[Name: Yamanaka Hirosuke]
[Chakra: 4600]
[Skills: Yin attribute chakra nature change (proficient level), heart turn technique (proficient level)...]
[Name: Miki Hanpei]
[Skills: Fire attribute chakra nature change (proficient level)...]
"Victory belongs to us Konoha!" A Konoha ninja who Mu Yue was not familiar with shouted passionately.
[Name: White Zetsu]
[Chakra: 13000]
[Skills: Mayfly technique, disguise technique...]
Mu Yue's expression did not change, he memorized the passionate White Zetsu's disguised appearance, and then continued to use identification techniques on other ninjas.
After the identification, Mu Yue found that the situation was actually not bad. There was only one White Zetsu in the small group where Jiraiya was.
"Next, we need to meet up with other scattered teams and prepare for a counterattack." Jiraiya gave the latest order.
The Konoha ninja troops have been running around recently and have become accustomed to sudden transfer orders. Everyone quickly began to act according to Jiraiya's orders.
"Mu Yue, did you sense anything?" Jiraiya walked to Mu Yue's side with his disciples and asked in a low voice.
According to normal logic, there is most likely a spy in his small unit, because not only does it have the most people, but it also has him as the commander of the unit.
"There is a ninja who is very likely to be a spy of Iwagakure." Mu Yue thought for a while and replied.
The effect of the identification technique in finding White Zetsu is as good as Mu Yue imagined, but because Mu Yue used the excuse of sensing good and evil, he did not use affirmative words, but only said high probability.
"High probability?"
"He has a very deep malice towards me. If he has the opportunity, he will kill me without hesitation. This degree is like an irreconcilable hatred with me." Mu Yue said calmly.
"High probability? It must be a spy." Jiraiya felt that Mu Yue was a little conservative.
Even if there are some personal grudges between Konoha ninjas and Mu Yue, it would not be so exaggerated.
"Who is it?"
Mu Yue summoned a pen and paper from the scroll, and then quickly drew the appearance of White Zetsu in disguise on the paper.
"He probably looks like this. I don't know him and don't know his name." Mu Yue handed the portrait to Jiraiya.
"If I remember correctly, this person seems to be called Sakoda Seiichi, a Chunin." Jiraiya looked at it and said.
I didn't know him at first. After all, there were thousands of ninja troops, and Jiraiya couldn't know all the ninjas. He only knew all the Jonin and the Chunin he had communicated with.
But later they were separated, and in addition to looking for spies, Jiraiya deliberately wrote down the names of all his subordinates to facilitate the investigation of relevant information.
"It's him. Although Sakoda Seiichi is not a family ninja, his family members joined Konoha when Konoha was first founded. I didn't expect that he would become a spy now." Namikaze Minato sighed.
Sakoda Seiichi's family was protected by Konoha, and he grew up under the protection of Konoha. Why would such a person become a spy for Iwagakure? Namikaze Minato was a little confused.
But when he thought about the fact that there was a spy in the Sarutobi clan, Minato Namikaze thought it was quite normal.
With the precedent of the Sarutobi clan's jonin, Minato Namikaze would not be too surprised even if there was a spy in the Ino-Shika-Chou clan.
"Since you are a native of Konoha, why would you betray your own village?" Obito found it hard to accept.
He thought the spy was a ninja from another village disguised as a spy, but he didn't expect that it was a ninja from his own village who betrayed.
"Could it be that someone from another village used a transformation technique to disguise himself?"
Minato Namikaze shook his head and explained, "Even the most advanced transformation technique cannot be hidden from the perception of the perception ninja."
"Although ninjas all have chakra, in fact, everyone's chakra is different, but this difference is not detectable by ordinary ninjas."
Obito looked disappointed. Minato Namikaze's meaning was very clear. If it was a transformation technique disguise, how could it be hidden from the perception ninjas of the army.
"Money, life, power, status, there are too many tempting things in this world." Jiraiya sighed.
He didn't know what benefits Iwagakure promised, or whether Hakuda Seiichi and others had some handle that was threatened. In short, the spy was a fact.
"It's really difficult. If the matter is reported back to the village, I'm afraid it will have an impact on Konoha." Jiraiya became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.
This spy is not only difficult to find, but also easy to affect morale if it is found and announced, and even have a negative impact on the entire Konoha.
"Wait until the troops have finished gathering and don't take any action for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy." Mu Yue reminded.
If you want to use White Zetsu to trap Iwagakure, then before the information is passed, you can't let the White Zetsu find out that you have been exposed.
Jiraiya and others nodded, and no one knew if there were any spies in other small troops.
Jiraiya, who was worried about the long night and many dreams, issued the highest level of assembly order, asking all the teams that could move to assemble as quickly as possible.
With the blessing of the high mobility of ninjas, Mu Yue and others' team quickly grew from one hundred to two hundred or three hundred, and finally there were about seven hundred people when the assembly was completed.
Mu Yue also used identification techniques intensively to find White Zetsu during this process, and finally found three White Zetsu.
In addition to the first one found, there was also the injured Aburame clan ninja Aburame Ryuya, and the last Hyuga clan ninja in Jiraiya's army, Hyuga Shi.
Jiraiya was stunned when he learned that the only remaining Byakugan ninja in the army was a spy.
Even the ninjas of the Hyuga clan had problems, so it was no wonder that they were defeated so badly.
"What is wrong with this world? Even the ninjas of the Hyuga clan would rebel." Jiraiya was very puzzled.
The Hyuga clan is also a relatively peculiar family in Konoha.
The Hyuga clan has a strict system of main family and branch family. The main family is not only superior to others, but also has absolute control over the branch family. It can easily control the life and death of the branch family ninjas through the caged bird seal.
The Hyuga family in Jiraiya's army is naturally the Hyuga branch family. The Hyuga main family is extremely rare and rarely goes to the battlefield.
"Too abnormal, there must be some secret in it." Namikaze Minato frowned.
It is not an exaggeration to characterize this spy incident as the worst spy incident since the establishment of Konoha.
The Hyuga clan, the Aburame clan, and the Sarutobi clan are all the veteran ninja clans of Konoha. Each clan has many ninjas holding important positions in various departments.
Among them, the Sarutobi clan is the most important, and the clan leader Sarutobi Hiruzen is currently the third generation Hokage of Konoha.
If the news that there is a ninja in their family who is a spy of his village spreads, the consequences are unpredictable.
Even such a ninja with a good family background can become a spy, does it mean that there are many more spies with ordinary identities.
"It is important to explore the secrets of spies, but the most important thing at present is to defeat the Iwagakure troops." Mu Yue pointed out the current focus.
Mu Yue knew the reason, but he couldn't say it clearly, the best way is to guide.
"Mu Yue is right, the most important thing now is not to let the Iwagakure troops invade the Land of Fire." Jiraiya nodded.
It is important for spies to influence the morale of the army, but letting the Iwagakure troops enter the land of the Land of Fire will affect the entire Land of Fire. This time is different from the situation of Kirigakure.
Then several people began to discuss how to use spies to set traps for the Iwagakure troops.
They have already discovered the spies, and now the situation has become that the Iwagakure troops think they are the first level and they are the second level, but in fact the Konoha ninja troops have reached the third level.
Directly arresting spies is the dumbest method, and the best solution is of course to use spies and support troops in the dark to create information gaps to surprise the Iwagakure ninja troops.
