Chapter 151 Spy

The atmosphere of the banquet did not cool down because of the daimyo's proposal to have permanent ninjas. Instead, it became even more cordial under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen. For a while, everyone raised their glasses frequently and it was very lively.

The meal did not end until the afternoon. Ye Shan walked out of the Sarutobi clan's territory with a little bit of alcohol in his heart. After thinking for a while, he decided to go have a bowl of ramen to fill his stomach.

The banquet was flashy and there was nothing to eat. The main purpose was to bring the two sides closer together rather than to have a real meal. Ye Shan had a glimpse of the nobles' pomp.

He came to the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant which had been selling well recently. The owner was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a clean white chef's uniform and a hat with the words "ICHIRAKU Rａｎｉ" on it. He looked very energetic.

"A bowl of tonkotsu ramen with an egg."

Ye Shan sat down and told the ramen he wanted to order.

"Sorry, we don't have tonkotsu ramen now, but we do have seafood ramen. Would you like a bowl?"

"Okay." Ye Shan said indifferently.

It's not dinner time, there are no other diners in the restaurant, and there is a smell of meat in the air, probably because the pork is not cooked yet.

The young owner deftly took a small ball of noodles, patted it a few times, pulled it into noodles, and put it into the boiling pot. Then he put bean sprouts and chopped green onions in the bowl, poured thick soup on it, and finally added the cooked noodles and seafood. A bowl of seafood ramen was ready.

The seafood ramen costs 150 taels, which is expensive, but there is a lot of seafood, and it is delicious and tasty. Ye Shan was very hungry when he saw it. He first drank a small sip of the soup, and then started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

When Ye Shan drank the last mouthful of soup, the strong feeling of fullness made him burp comfortably. A layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead, and his body felt comfortable from the inside out.

The pasta must be delicious. That kind of banquet is really boring. Not only does it taste average, but it also doesn't fill you up at all.

Ye Shan paid the money and strolled in the village. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to the forest outside the village. He did not forget that his job was patrolling. Now was a time of relaxation outside and tension inside, so he had to know the limit of slacking off.

The patrol team outside the village was quite large, with nearly a hundred people, all of them were ninjas from the Uchiha clan. A small number of them were naturally jonins, and most of them were chunin-level ninjas. Their eye-opening rate was not low, which was enough for them to handle patrol missions.

Given Ye Shan's identity, the position of captain is naturally his, but he does not take charge of specific matters. He just goes about his business every day like punching in at work. All the miscellaneous matters are left to the two deputy captains to handle, so he has quite a lot of free time.

When he arrived at the patrol team's office, Ye Shan found that there were no ninjas left there. He couldn't help but become curious, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he sat in his office and planned to take a rest.

He hadn't slept all night, and even though a ninja's resilience was far superior to that of an ordinary person, he was still inevitably tired at this time, so he leaned back in the chair and fell asleep after a while.

After an unknown amount of time, a noisy sound of footsteps woke Ye Shan up from his sweet dream. He opened his eyes and woke up in just a moment. He took a big sip of water and walked out of the office.

Several Uchiha ninjas who were walking towards them saw that it was Ye Shan who came, and came forward to greet him with a smile on their faces.

It is true that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are arrogant, but their arrogance varies from person to person. They dare not be arrogant towards Yeshan, their immediate superior and a strong man. After all, strength and status determine who is respected.

"What happened?" Ye Shan asked casually.

"Your Excellency may not know that today, Team C captured an enemy spy in the forest."

Ye Shan became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is your strength?"

After nearly two years of patrolling, this was the first time Ye Shan encountered the arrest of a spy, so naturally he had to ask more questions.

"He is quite powerful, especially in earth escape ninjutsu. In the end, it was Lord Duanmu who took action personally to capture him alive."

Most of the Uchiha clan's ninjas are good at illusions, so capturing a spy alive is commonplace. What Ye Shan is curious about is why a spy appeared outside the village.

"Take me to see it."

Several Uchiha ninjas brought Ye Shan to the interrogation room, which was already crowded with people.

Ye Shan frowned and scolded: "What are you all doing here? Have you finished your work?"

When everyone saw that it was Ye Shan who came, they bowed and greeted him, and then dispersed, obviously very convinced by Ye Shan's orders.

The noisy interrogation room became quiet. Ye Shan pushed open the iron door and saw the captured spy through a piece of transparent glass.

The spy was dressed in ordinary clothes, slumped in a chair with his head tilted, looking like he was under an illusion. What surprised Ye Shan was that she was a female spy.

It's not that Yeshan discriminates against female ninjas, but the profession of spy puts too much of a test on the ninja's psychological endurance. The feeling of loneliness of being in danger all the time can easily destroy a ninja with a weak mind. In addition, spying is a job that requires courage and carefulness, so most ninjas are male.

When the patrol team's deputy captain Uchiha Duanmu heard his ninja report that Ye Shan had arrived, he hurried to the interrogation room to greet him, not daring to be negligent at all.

Of course he dared not neglect it. Uchiha Duanmu's brother-in-law was Uchiha Keiji, and he knew too well how this brother-in-law, who had always been frustrated, ascended to the throne of the Root leader step by step. When he heard that Ye Shan was going to serve in the patrol team, he was very excited and felt that he would be valued soon. Sure enough, he is now the deputy captain and has considerable power in his hands.

"Why is Lord Ye Shan here today?"

Ever since the death of Yamashiro Tatsuya, Yeshan has forbidden others to call him captain, so even though he is the captain of the patrol team, the Uchiha clan ninjas usually address him as "adult".

Ye Shan sat upright on a chair and looked at the spy. He nodded to Uchiha Duanmu and said, "I came here to take a look when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as catching a spy. How did you find her?"

Uchiha Duanmu poured a glass of water for Ye Shan attentively, and smiled when he heard it: "What a coincidence, when Shiro had a stomachache during patrol, he went into the woods to relieve it and accidentally discovered her sneaking around. If Shiro hadn't awakened the two magatama Sharingan not long ago, I'm afraid he would have died long ago."

Ye Shan was speechless. He never expected that the spy would be discovered in this way. He couldn't help but sigh that fate was playing tricks on him.

"Has he been interrogated?"

"Not yet, but I have sent someone to invite the torture ninja who specializes in illusion techniques in the clan, and he should be here soon."

Ye Shan nodded. Although most of the Uchiha clan ninjas are good at illusions, they are not good at torture. Illusions are also divided into categories, which can be roughly divided into luring illusions, enemy-controlling illusions, binding illusions, and hypnotic illusions. There are many types and different functions.

Take Uchiha Duanmu for example. His awakened three-magatama Sharingan is good at binding illusions. When fighting the enemy, he can often restrain the enemy's movements in an instant, leaving them no room for resistance, but he knows nothing about hypnotic illusions.

Not long after, a ninja dressed in the uniform of the Security Department came to the interrogation room. He first saluted the two of them, and then opened his Sharingan to use hypnotic illusion on the spy.

To everyone's surprise, even though the spy had been completely hypnotized and his mind was completely confused, he still refused to reveal any information, and it was obvious that he was a man of extremely strong will.

Neither illusions nor torture would work against this kind of person. Even the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan might not be able to do anything about it. After all, most spies have restrictions set up in their minds, and forcibly searching their memories would only destroy their brains.

Yeshan interrupted the illusion of the Security Department ninja and planned to talk to the spy. If that didn't work, he would just kill him. Anyway, he would be a waste of Konoha's food if he was alive. He was not a merciful person.

Not long after the illusion was lifted, the female spy woke up from hypnosis. The first thing she did after opening her eyes was to make seals with her hands and prepare to release ninjutsu, but she found that all the chakra in her body was sealed and she could not use it at all. She was shocked in her heart, but her face did not move at all.

Ye Shan looked at the spy in desperate situation with interest, and found that he was not panicked at all, and a trace of approval flashed in his eyes. Ninjas must not lose their composure at any time, otherwise it will undoubtedly accelerate their own death. It is easier said than done. Unless a person with a strong mind and a long-term test can do it, ordinary ninjas will be more or less panicked.

Ye Shan turned on the microphone in front of the glass cover and said calmly: "It seems that you are very clear about your situation. Can you tell me the purpose of your coming to Konoha?"

The female spy glanced at Ye Shan, her lips tightly closed with no desire to speak, her eyes calm.

Uchiha Duanmu frowned and shouted, "How dare you! Do you know who is asking you this question? You dare to be so arrogant here. You really don't know how to write the word death."

As he spoke, the three-magatama Sharingan appeared in his eyes, emitting a cold light and staring at the spy, as if he wanted to punish him.

Silence. The female spy remained silent, but there was a lot more fierceness in her eyes, and she looked ferocious.

To deal with such a ninja who has been mentally prepared, Ye Shan's usual practice is to send her to see the Six Paths Sage to exchange ninjutsu, even if she is a delicate beauty.

"Since you don't want to say anything, I won't ask. Just don't forget to give yourself a meal during the holidays when you get to the Pure Land."

Ye Shan smiled indifferently, and a bright flash of lightning appeared on his right hand, crackling, and gradually grew longer in the eyes of several people until it turned into a thunder sword.

Uchiha Duanmu was a little hesitant. He didn't want to kill the spy right now. After all, this was a not-so-small achievement, so he naturally wanted to take credit for it to his clan. But when he thought of his brother-in-law's instructions, he chose to remain silent.

Ye Shan stood up, walked to the iron door next to the glass cover, pushed it open and walked in. He walked behind the female spy, put the thunder knife across her white neck, and finally asked: "You still don't want to say it?"

At such a close distance, Ye Shan could clearly see that the female spy's hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and even the hairs on her face stood up. It was obvious that she was still afraid of death.

Still silent. Even though the female spy didn't want to die, for some reason, she still chose to remain silent.

Ye Shan let out a long sigh, and a trace of admiration welled up in his heart for the female spy. There were not many ninjas who could face death calmly, whether for the sake of the ninja village or for the ninja way.

The thunder blade burst into a large amount of lightning, covering the female spy's body in lightning. Ye Shan was a good man after all, so he planned to paralyze the other party's body before killing her. This would also alleviate the pain and could be regarded as a reward for the other party's calm death.

"Don't be a ninja in your next life."

As he said this, Ye Shan used his right hand to pull the lightning knife back and was about to slit the throat of the female spy, but he was interrupted by the door of the interrogation room being pushed open.

"Why are you here?" Ye Shan asked.

The person who came was Tsunade. This was her first time to come to the patrol office. She would never come here on weekdays. After all, the Senju and Uchiha knew what she was talking about.

Tsunade snorted coldly, not caring much about what Ye Shan was going to do: "Have you forgotten what I told you this morning?"

Ye Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt his waist ache for no reason. Of course, he had not forgotten what Tsunade said to him in the morning. In fact, he had wanted to try the Shadow Clone Technique in private for a long time, but he was really unable to bear it recently, so he quietly ran out of the village to hide. Unexpectedly, Tsunade actually followed him.

"How could that be possible? I'll go home after I deal with the spy." Ye Shan said with a smile on his face.

Tsunade frowned and said unhappily: "Can't these two do it? You have to do it."

Uchiha Duanmu hurried into the interrogation room, took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and said, "Let me do it."

He can't afford to offend Yeshan, and he can't afford to offend Tsunade even more. These two are the masters, and he, Uchiha Duanmu, is just the grandson.

Ye Shan helplessly put away the thunder sword in his hand, patted Uchiha Duanmu on the shoulder, and slowly walked out of the interrogation room.

Just as Yeshan and Tsunade were about to leave, the female spy who had been silent suddenly spoke.

"Do you remember me? Lady Tsunade."
