Operating within the borders of Konoha for an extended period, getting close to and possibly assassinating high-profile figures...

Gojo Kaigetsu felt a sense of urgency. He couldn't allow such a dangerous spy to operate within Konoha; it was crucial to identify and eliminate this threat as quickly as possible.

Imagine the scenario!

A 15-year-old prodigy like Sasori was able to assassinate the Third Kazekage. Ninja tactics can't be easily classified by rank alone, whether it's Kage, Jonin, or Chunin.

Without knowing what deadly techniques the shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village might possess, the situation was extremely dangerous.

There's an old saying: while a thief can hide for a thousand days, no one can guard against a thief for that long.

If the spy managed to establish roots in Konoha, it would be incredibly difficult to root them out. And if, by chance, Minato or Kushina were to die at the hands of a Cloud ninja spy...

Everything would be ruined!

Such a scenario was absolutely unacceptable. He vowed to hunt down and capture the spy infiltrating Konoha!

Gojo Kaigetsu declared his intention.

"But how did a Cloud Village ninja evade the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan?"

"Konoha has long been able to catch a large number of spies from the major nations each year, thanks to the Byakugan. Ordinary people, without chakra, would struggle to access any sensitive information even if they did infiltrate Konoha."

"If my printing factory was involved, it would have been more obvious, and it would've been targeted before it even became significant."

"So... Has the Cloud Village figured out a way to bypass the Byakugan?"

The Byakugan has always been one of the best methods for detecting enemy ninjas. If someone found a way to counter it, Konoha's intelligence-gathering advantage would be severely diminished.

Modern ninja warfare relies heavily on information-intelligence is key!

"No, something's not right. If the Cloud Village had really cracked the Byakugan, Konoha's prosperity wouldn't just drop slightly-it would have plummeted. But there's been no drastic change."

"The rise and fall of Konoha's prosperity is absolute. This means that bypassing the Byakugan must be extremely difficult, or it could be a unique bloodline limit that only a few individuals possess..."

Thinking along these lines, Gojo Kaigetsu felt the pressure ease a bit. If that's the case, it's much more manageable.

He was just about to use the unique information transfer methods of the Anbu to summon his loyal and capable subordinate, Kakashi.

But as he reached out to do so, he noticed through his black blindfold that Kakashi's chakra was rapidly approaching.

A mutual journey, it seems.

In a few moments, Kakashi was kneeling on one knee, his head lowered as he reported from behind Gojo Kaigetsu: "Gojo-sama, I have urgent news."

"Oh? Kakashi, what is it?"

"This afternoon, a woman claiming to be related to you arrived in Konoha. She's been placed in the village's guesthouse. Would you like to meet her?"

"Huh? A relative of mine?"

Gojo Kaigetsu was taken aback.

He was reincarnated into this world, inheriting all the memories of his previous life when he was around 14 years old. But as for relatives... he had never heard of any.
