The information circulating was very sketchy. We only knew that the Iwagakure Village had been attacked and suffered heavy losses.

Only a few people know the details. As for the description of the inconspicuous Rinnegan, those who know it don't care much about it. There are many rumors. The power that was repelled by the Iwagakure Village has nothing to do with the legendary power.

Only a very few people would want to delve into the secrets, and Tsunade happens to be one of the people who knows about Jiraiya's three former students.

"Orochimaru also knows about it and has seen the Samsara Eye. So, does he also know that the Akatsuki organization has the Samsara Eye?"

The situation became more and more complicated, and when we traced the root of the problem, we ended up going back to events that happened in Konoha Village decades ago.

"Are they really them? Didn't Jiraiya say that they died in the war in the Rain Country?"

The Rinnegan cannot appear out of thin air, and it just happens to appear twice in the Rain Land.

"If Jiraiya knew, would he go and investigate regardless of the consequences?"

Tsunade was a little worried. Jiraiya was very strong. In Sage Mode, the number of people who could fight against him could be counted on one hand. But that was the Samsara Eye, and he was a former student. What would Jiraiya do?

No matter what, it is impossible for Jiraiya to abandon Uzumaki Naruto and act on his own now. There is no need to worry for the time being until Naruto finishes his training. However, things have to be made clear.

The Rain Village has gone from being a warning to being a major concern for the ninja world, and the information is currently only top secret known to the Hokage and a very small number of people.

As for the danger level of the Rinnegan, well, even in Konoha Village, the overlord of the ninja world, there are actually not many reliable records. If it weren't for some information obtained by Jiraiya, it would basically remain at the level of myths and legends.

As for now, only those who have fought with it know how to deal with the Rinnegan.

"I hope that the Iwagakure Village, which has suffered a loss, can put aside their prejudices and share some information with other villages!"

Putting aside these less urgent matters, Tsunade picked up another piece of information. The preliminary conclusion about Might Guy and his students' investigation in the Land of Earth was that they had basically gained nothing. The original laboratories and bases were basically abandoned, and only some abandoned experimental subjects were still holding on. However, no valuable information could be obtained by torture of these people. It seemed that it was not easy to find the real hiding place of Orochimaru.

Everything was going wrong, making Tsunade a little annoyed. She put down the work in her hands, got up and walked out of the office, and went to have a drink to relax while Shizune was not around.

…

In the Secret Service Department, Kurenai Yuhi has been the director for some time. As a marginal department, the director is actually vacant for a long time. Unless there is any major operation, the Hokage or his appointed Anbu will usually take on the position. The director is the one who handles day-to-day affairs. There is more than one position. Most of the time there are two or three directors and deputy directors. In peacetime, there will be only one director for a long time.

During the busiest period before the Chunin Exam, there were as many as six directors at the same time, and Tsunade often asked about specific matters. Now, with Kurenai Yuhi, there are only two directors and management personnel. As for the standing staff, there are not many, and most of them are in internship like Haruno Sakura, and there are a few Genin temporary workers like Shiho. This female ninja Shiho is the candidate with special intelligence who replaced Nara Shikamaru and the remaining members of the 10th team, Akimichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino to participate in the Chunin Exam.

Xi Rihong, who temporarily retired to the second line, was recuperating while dealing with his colleagues, and he had a preliminary understanding of the situation.

Of course, there is another purpose that cannot be made public, which is to communicate with Haruno Sakura and secretly investigate the degree of danger of the illusion that Mizuki taught her.

Yuhi Kurenai is not a civilian ninja. Her father is the famous Jonin Yuhi Shinku from Konoha Village. He is also an experienced ninja instructor. Many Chunins and Genins have received his kindness. It is a pity that such an outstanding ninja died when the Nine-Tails attacked the village more than ten years ago.

With a family background in education, Yuhi Kurenai received a good enlightenment education since childhood, which is also the reason why she was able to be promoted to Jonin quickly.

However, the ninja world is, after all, a society where strength is the key to victory, and female ninjas are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.

This is not discrimination, nor is it a status quo that can be changed by one or two special cases. Therefore, many female ninjas either choose jobs that are not frontline combat jobs, or become medical ninjas or illusion ninjas. The reality forces female ninjas to choose a development direction that requires carefulness and excellent chakra control to go further.

Yuhi Kurenai is already a well-rounded jonin. Being proficient in illusions doesn't mean she has weaknesses in other areas. She is well-rounded and has considerable expertise in knowledge and intelligence, especially in illusions. She has indeed reached a very high level, and the limit of ordinary illusions is just this.

Of course, this does not mean that she knows nothing about more advanced illusions, but she was promoted to jonin not much earlier than Mizuki, and her accumulation has not yet reached the level of qualitative change. She can easily access some secret information of the village, and knows some unique eye techniques similar to the Mangekyō Sharingan, and even has seen records of forbidden techniques such as Izanami, but she does not have detailed information and training methods, and she does not have the Sharingan, so she can't find a way to go further.

Regarding insights into illusion, Yuhi Kurenai's theory is undoubtedly better than Mizuki's. Although she doesn't know some fundamental issues involving chakra like Mizuki, they are on the same path and both understand the higher realm of illusion.

"This secret technique directly attacks the mind and soul. It is already on the verge of being a forbidden technique."

Permanently changing a person's cognition and confusing the enemy to achieve victory in battle are completely different types of ninjutsu with completely different starting points.

Although I couldn't ask Haruno Sakura directly, after some indirect information during this period, and after searching for a lot of top-secret information that would never be leaked, I finally got some clues.

"If it goes as expected, this technique is just part of the developer's larger plan. If you want to get a glimpse of the whole picture, you have to observe it slowly."

"A strong man who can figure out the method of practicing the Sage Mode on his own thinks that this strange illusion is more valuable and teaches it to his disciples solemnly as a special inherited ninjutsu. This is not ordinary importance."

Young Sakura didn't know how much importance Mizuki attached to this technique, but Kurenai Yuhi and Tsunade saw it.
