Chapter 185: The Root Spy

"Gu------"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Santai couldn't help swallowing his saliva. This scene was too shocking. Liu Yu, relying on his own strength, killed more than 40 Iwagakure ninjas in just a few minutes. Only a few escaped the killing circle and were intercepted by them.

Before Liu Yu said to kill directly, Santai still thought that the captain of this mission was too reckless. Even if he was the captain of the Shadow Guard of the Fourth Hokage, there were nearly 50 Iwagakure ninjas on the opposite side, which was about three times the number of his own side.

But now, Santai also realized the huge gap in strength between the two sides. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was only twelve years old and had become an elite jonin who could stand on his own, while he was over thirty years old and was only a chunin.

"It's done!"

Looking at the corpses around him in the moonlight, Liu Yu whispered softly. This time, blocking the enemy's sight was easier than the last time he dealt with the Kumogakure ninjas.

"Sir, we caught a live person, what should we do?"

At this moment, a Konoha ninja came forward with a prisoner from Iwagakure and asked. The Iwagakure ninja looked at the bodies of the Iwagakure around Liu Yu, and his eyes showed disbelief. He couldn't believe that the little girl from Konoha in front of him was the leader of Konoha's mission this time, and he couldn't believe that all the companions present were killed by her alone.

"Mu Yan, do you remember what you said before this mission?"

Liu Yu turned around and replied coldly. He had said before departure that there was no need to keep prisoners this time. When Liu Yu said this, the Iwagakure prisoner couldn't help but flash a trace of despair in his eyes.

Looking at Liu Yu's cold eyes, the Konoha ninja called Mu Yan by Liu Yu felt a little uncomfortable, and then a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes and replied: "I know, sir."

After that, Mu Yan drew out a kunai and scratched the neck of the Iwagakure ninja.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Yu took everyone from Konoha to find a safe place to rest. Just as everyone was resting, Mu Yan, who was originally on night watch, quietly split out a shadow clone, and the shadow clone took over his duty, while his real body quietly left the camp without waking up others.

After a certain distance from the original place, Mu Yan put his thumb and index finger together and put them in his mouth, and blew a whistle suddenly.

The long whistle spread far away, and then a faint fluttering sound was heard in the air. After a while, a gray sentinel eagle landed on Mu Yan's extended right arm.

Mu Yan then untied the small bamboo tube on the sentinel eagle's leg and stuffed the information he had prepared into it. After everything was done, Mu Yan released the sentinel eagle again. Then Mu Yan looked around and made sure that no one was following him, so he quickly left the place.

When Mu Yan left, Liu Yu quietly disappeared from the tree, looked at the sentinel eagle in the distance and sighed softly, and then left the place himself.

This Mu Yan was a spy planted by Danzo in this team. Liu Yu had this intuition when he saw him for the first time. Now that he had seen Mu Yan secretly sending out sentinels to send back information, Liu Yu had already confirmed Mu Yan's identity as a Root Ninja. Not surprisingly, this 'Mu Yan' was not his real name, but just a temporary name for this mission.

This Root Ninja should be here to monitor him. Although he was not too clear about the reason why Danzo had placed him beside him, Danzo's move made Liu Yu more vigilant of Danzo.

In the following days, Liu Yu led his team to patrol the northern border of the Land of Fire, and encountered other Konoha ninjas who were carrying out this mission along the way. After all, Konoha is now in an extremely weak state, and the more it is at this time, the more it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance in the border areas.

During this period of time, Liu Yu also encountered several waves of Iwagakure ninjas. Relying on their own perception ability, they can often seize the initiative, and then relying on Mikazuki Munechika's reverse summoning ability, the opposite Iwagakure ninjas are no match at all.

After several battles, Liu Yu's team expanded to more than 30 people, and the extra people were members of other teams that were dispersed by Iwagakure. In these battles, nearly a hundred Iwagakure ninjas died at the hands of Liu Yu. This also made the other people in the team admire Liu Yu more and more. At first, they were worried that Liu Yu was too young to be the captain, but now they have completely reassured Liu Yu. With a strong leader in the team, their survival rate will be greatly improved.

After confirming Mu Yan's identity as a spy of the root, Liu Yu quietly increased her attention to Mu Yan. She found that after each encounter with Iwagakure, Mu Yan would quietly leave the camp and send back intelligence.

One night, Liu Yu secretly got up while everyone else was asleep, leaving a shadow clone to replace herself, and then the main body quickly left the camp.

Just two days ago, Mu Yan took the initiative to expose the fact that he was a subordinate of Danzo to Liu Yu who was on duty. Although Liu Yu knew it a long time ago, she still pretended to be surprised, and was also curious about Mu Yan's intention to expose his identity at this time. Did Mu Yan realize that his identity was exposed and didn't want to pretend with Liu Yu anymore? Or did Danzo have some new orders?

However, Mu Yan did not let Liu Yu think too much, and then told Liu Yu everything she wanted to know. After exposing his identity as a root, Mu Yan handed Liu Yu a secret letter, saying that it was a confidential mission assigned to her by Danzo.

Although she was very confused about what the secret mission that Danzo had given her, Liu Yu did not show it in front of Mu Yan, but just said lightly that she knew it. Mu Yan did not react much. After explaining his identity to Liu Yu, he returned to the camp as if nothing had happened.

When Liu Yu read the secret letter, her face looked a little solemn. The mission that Danzo had given Liu Yu was to cross the border to the border of the Land of Earth, to hand over to the Root spy, and to retrieve important information belonging to the village.

The reason given by Danzo was also very sufficient. He said that the Iwagakure Village had already noticed the existence of the Root spy, and the original channel for transmitting information had been destroyed by Iwagakure. Now it was necessary to rely on Liu Yu, who was good at lurking, to retrieve this information. This information was very important and would affect the next negotiations between Konoha and Iwagakure.

Because it was a confidential mission, it was not appropriate to let too many people know about this operation. Although Liu Yu was alert to Danzo, it was obvious that this mission was not something she could refuse.

In the next two days, Liu Yu passed through the Grass Country sandwiched between the Fire Country and the Earth Country. This time can be regarded as a revisit to the ‘old country’, but Liu Yu did not have too much nostalgia, after all, this place left Liu Yu with some not-so-good memories.

The current Grass Country is still not peaceful. After the truce between the five major countries, it does not mean that the Ninja World will really calm down. The wars among the small countries have already started. Some are supported by the big countries behind them, and some are for their own domestic interests.

In short, the current Grass Country is still in chaos, and bandits and robbers are emerging everywhere. Liu Yu can see several uncleaned battlefields and corpses from time to time.
