Intelligence Division

The Konoha Intelligence Division (木ノ葉隠れ情報部, Konohagakure Jōhōbu ) is the facility where shinobi gather information out of enemies and perform espionage using several methods, secret ninjutsu and machinery. It is headed by Ibiki Morino .

## History [ ]

The Intelligence Division is divided in several sub-units specialized in different areas of interrogation, torture and analysis. Each unit has their own captain or commander officer and a full team of specialists.

During Pain's assault on Konoha, Ibiki Morino and Inoichi Yamanaka were in charge of interrogating Yūdachi, an Amegakure shinobi captured by Jiraiya; while the forensic staff from Konoha Hospital led by Ranka performed an autopsy of one of Pain's paths. A deciphering team formed by Shiho, Sakura Haruno and Shikamaru Nara was, in the meantime, tasked with decoding the meaning behind Jiraiya's message.

The building was destroyed by Deva Path's and, however implied, reconstructed. After Taka's attack on the Kage Summit, Karin was jailed here, where she was eventually interrogated by Ibiki and his T&I team before escaping.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War , Kido Tsumiki and Magire were interrogated using a machine from the Analysis Team after their experiments and betraying Konoha.

In the days following Kinshiki and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's attack on the Chūnin Exams, Ibiki reported to the Seventh Hokage that Katasuke Tōno had been under mind-control, and that there was evidence that he had been leaking information about their technology to his controller. After the report, Naruto told Ibiki and Sai Yamanaka to continue their investigation.

Later, Ibiki and Sai were tasked with the interrogation of the leader of the Mujina Bandits, Shojoji . When the latter refused to speak because of the lack of benefit for him, Ibiki promised that he would regret it. However, when Sasuke Uchiha joined the interrogation process, Shojoji quickly changed his mind, and Ibiki listened to him along with Sasuke and Sai as he talked about the mysterious organization called Kara. After Sasuke used his Sharingan to delve inside his memories, he and Sai began their search in Amegakure.

- Torture and Interrogation Force : Also known as T&I, they use secret methods and truth serums to extract information from enemies. It is led by Ibiki Morino with Shinobu Mibu, Mozuku and a team of elite chūnin .
- Analysis Team : They step in when then T&I Force is unsuccessful. They use a secret technique called Psycho Mind Transmission to extract information directly from the target's mind as seen with Inoichi Yamanaka and Aoba Yamashiro. They also use special machines to perform mental interrogation. It was was by Inoichi Yamanaka in the past; however, the Analysis Team seems to have disbanded and instead Sasuke Uchiha with his Sharingan, or Ino Yamanaka in the anime, completes this task in their place.
- Cryptanalysis Team : Also known as Cypher Corps or Cypher Team, specializes in deciphering secret codes, messages and hieroglyphics. It is led by Mitoku with Shiho as his assistant. Sakura Haruno and Shikamaru Nara are supporting members of this team.
