This situation made all the Great Ninja Villages wary of Konoha. However, not knowing how Konoha had uncovered their spies, they were forced to hold back.
Spies were spies because they had ways to conceal their Chakra, yet Konoha still discovered them—
This meant Konoha possessed an incredibly strong intelligence system!
The wars among ninjas were battles of intelligence!
Konoha could capture all undercover agents, yet the other villages couldn't catch the ones Konoha planted within them. This showed that the other Ninja Villages were far behind Konoha in intelligence, thus, they dared not act rashly.
"Buddha, I can't infiltrate Konoha." Black Zetsu said, somewhat surprised, "Beneath Konoha there are secret white lines, similar to human brain structures. I sense a strange Chakra... I really dislike this feeling."
