He walked in front of the leader and said with a smile, "If the rise of the Hidden Rain Village is to use Konoha as a stepping stone, then I can guarantee that it will never rise."
Then he condensed a crystal spike in his hand and plunged it into his heart. After a few futile struggles, this Kage-level ninja leader completely breathed his last. His head drooped down lifelessly.
"Go to the Yamanaka clan and inform them. Have the head of the Yamanaka clan Yamanaka Inoru come to the interrogation unit to see me."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
After Ibiki and Torifu left the interrogation room, he instructed his assistant outside to go to the Yamanaka clan. It didn't take long for him to return with a middle-aged man.
"Hokage-sama."
Torifu nodded. "Yamanaka Inoru, it's been a while. I'm sure he has already explained the situation to you."
"I understand. I am ready to proceed at any time."
Hearing Yamanaka Inoru's words, Torifu finally showed a smile. "He just died not long ago. Go on and do it." Then he said to Ibiki, "You go with him too. Assist Inoru from the side."
"Yes."
Yamanaka Inoru was the head of Konoha's intelligence department, and Morino Ibiki was the head of the interrogation department. The two were at the same level in terms of position. They had worked together many times before, so they had a certain amount of chemistry.
After a brief exchange, the two of them entered the interrogation room. The assistant stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from suddenly disturbing them. Torifu returned to Ibiki's office and waited for Yamanaka Inoru to successfully obtain the information.
Time passed quickly. After about an hour, Torifu heard the interrogation room door open. When the two of them saw that Torifu was not outside the door, the two entered the Office.
"How did it go? Do you have any information?"
Yamanaka Inoru's expression was a little grim at this moment. He stuttered a little. "H-Hokage-sama, I did get some memories about the Amegakure from his mind."
Torifu caught the look on his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the information? Tell me."
Yamanaka Inoru composed his thoughts and then began to speak. "This ninja was Hanzō's subordinate in the Amegakure. But because he didn't follow Hanzō's orders and accidentally stumbled upon Hanzō's secret, he was sent to Konoha to attack."
When Torifu heard this, he nodded. In short, he was demoted. He was originally a confidant, but because he didn't follow Hanzō's wishes and knew something he shouldn't have, he was sent to Konoha to die.
"Tell me more." Yamanaka Tōru bowed after hearing this.
"Hanzō ordered him to capture children with chakra or fresh-faced ninjas in the Land of Rain, but he didn't say what for."
"He had a daughter at home who happened to have ninja talent. Perhaps he felt a sense of pity, so he refused Hanzō's order."
"But that was all. Hanzō didn't reprimand him too harshly, only scolding him a little. But when he went to the Amegakure's base to meet someone, he accidentally entered a secret room."
"He secretly saw many children turn into fingernail-sized red fruits out of thin air, and he also heard a woman's voice coming from inside. He immediately stumbled out but then ran into Hanzō, who was about to go in."
When he heard this, Torifu already had a general idea of what happened next. He could only say that this person was really unlucky. He should have been able to live a peaceful life, but because he stumbled upon someone else's secret, he died tragically in a foreign land.
"Hanzō didn't know exactly what he saw, but he still sent him and some Ninja to attack Konoha, and before they left, he forced them to consume the red fruit, which directly boosted their strength from Elite Jonin to Kage-level!"
"And his other companions, who were also Jonin-level, were also directly boosted to Kage-level. That's all the information."
After hearing all of this, Torifu could roughly determine who the enemy was. Only the Ōtsutsuki Clan could create fruits that boost a person's Chakra.
But Ōtsutsuki Kaguya has already been sealed. In this world, besides Kaguya, there is only Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, or rather, Jigen.
Torifu's impression of him wasn't very deep; he didn't pay much attention to boruto.
However, none of the Ōtsutsuki are easy to deal with. In Land of Whirlpools, the person Rain mentioned as a vessel for his master's reincarnation, he must be Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
But Yamanaka Inoru said he heard a woman's voice coming from the secret room, so it definitely couldn't be Jigen.
Could it be an artificial human? But Amado was already picked up by him, so who else could be researching artificial humans for him?
However, now that he knew who the enemy behind the scenes was, Torifu felt more confident. Although he couldn't defeat the Ōtsutsuki Clan members now, in another ten years or so, when the world truly begins to experience turmoil, that might not be the case.
"Very good. How reliable is this information?"
"Hokage-sama, it's ninety percent."
This means the intelligence is absolutely true: "Hmm, I understand. Yamanaka Clan Head, you've worked hard today. You can go back now. Please don't spread this matter outside for now."
Yamanaka Inoru nodded, "This subordinate naturally understands."
For intelligence work, the most important thing is to keep quiet, so it's naturally impossible to reveal the information obtained everywhere.
After bowing to Torifu, Yamanaka Inoru left the Interrogation Department and returned to his clan's territory alone.
At this moment, Ibiki, who was nearby, was somewhat stunned. Torifu shook him a few times to make him sober up.
"What's wrong? Were you scared silly?"
Ibiki shook his head, "This subordinate was not, I was just amazed by the Yamanaka Clan Head's intelligence."
"To turn children with Chakra into Chakra fruits, and after eating them, people's strength can be boosted. This is simply alarmist!"
Torifu shook his head, "Alas, it's inhumane. Now we can only hope that the hidden woman hasn't made more fruits."
"Otherwise, if the entire Amegakure becomes Kage-level, how can other Villages fight them?"
Even the Great Ninja Villages couldn't face so many enemies, all of whom are Kage-level.
Ibiki imagined that scene; it would be utterly destructive.
"Hokage-sama, do we need to set up any protective measures?"
Torifu waved his hand, "No need. Amegakure is currently in the stage of increasing its strength. I need to contact the two Kage and see what their opinions are."
Ibiki didn't understand much about these matters, so he could only scratch his head, "Everything is up to you, Hokage-sama."
Torifu smiled, "You've been working hard these past few days. There shouldn't be any prisoners needing interrogation in the coming days, so you can take this time to rest well."
"Okay, Hokage-sama. To be honest, I am indeed a bit tired. I put so much effort into this Ninja these past few days, but still didn't get any good results."
