Chapter 132 Return to the Southeast

In the northwest defense line of Konoha, another transfer order was sent from Konoha Village.

"Che, it seems that we have to go to the southeast defense line again."

Minato opened the transfer order, and not only Minato but also Che was transferred to the southeast.

Minato was originally transferred from the southeast defense line to support the northwest defense line.

And Che was also in the southeast defense line before coming to the Rain Country.

Minato also brought Kakashi and Obito with him.

Speed ​​is of the essence. After Minato organized the troops, he set out immediately and everyone came to the southeast defense line.

The current southeast defense line has changed a little compared to a year ago.

The most important thing is that the eastern defense line no longer needs too many ninja defenses.

Because the strongholds and headquarters of the Kirigakure attack from the east line were all eliminated before.

So now the battlefield is basically only the south line.

In the days when Minato was away, it was Shikaku who was responsible for coordinating and commanding the southeast defense line.

Minato and Shikaku completed a simple handover. Both of them are smart people, so the handover work is naturally simple and efficient.

Shikaku told Minato about the changes and details of the current battle.

Minato quickly understood the current situation.

"It seems that Kirigakure can't hold on any longer."

According to the intelligence, Kirigakure's offensive has weakened a lot. Combined with other intelligence, Kirigakure should not have more strength to fight Konoha.

Shikaku nodded, but raised another concern.

"But Kirigakure and Sunagakure have stopped. If these two enemies of Konoha join hands, they can still cause us a lot of trouble."

"After all, Konoha has also consumed a lot of strength now."

Minato nodded and agreed with Shikaku's concerns.

"Yes, although it is possible that Kirigakure and Sunagakure do not have the spare strength to attack each other, it does not rule out the possibility you said."

"To be cautious, we still need someone to gather intelligence."

Shikaku smiled and said, "I have a suitable candidate."

So Che was called into the tent.

"Teacher Shikaku, I knew that you would call me for no good."

Che waved his hand helplessly and walked in.

"No way, who told you that you are the most suitable, the more capable you are, the more work you should do." Lu Jiu stroked his beard and explained the task.

"This time, we will go to the land of Water Country and the Hidden Mist Village to gather intelligence, to see if there are any signs of cooperation between Hidden Mist and Sand Village."

Che complained: "Gathering intelligence again."

The last time Lu Jiu asked him to find out the intelligence of the Hidden Mist base, this time it was even more excessive, he asked him to go to the Hidden Mist Village directly.

"I'm giving you a chance to make merit." Lu Jiu explained so, and Che reluctantly accepted it.

Speaking of which, Lu Jiu and the Konoha high-level officials are simply two extremes.

The Konoha high-level officials are deeply afraid that Che will make merit on the battlefield, and his wings will be full, thus threatening the rule of the Konoha high-level officials.

On the contrary, Lu Jiu regards Che as an all-purpose tool.

Although this reflects Lu Jiu's trust in Che, Che still feels like a brick, moving wherever he is needed.

Shikaku explained again, "I really didn't mean to embarrass you."

"You know, spy missions are dangerous, and now it's wartime, which makes it even more difficult."

"Once you are discovered in an enemy country during wartime, it is almost certain death for ordinary ninjas."

"You are the only suitable candidate who is capable and energetic that I can think of."

Che nodded. He just objected verbally, but he didn't really want to go.

Che said, "Okay, then I'll treat it as a vacation."

Shikaku smiled and said, "Yes, just treat it as a public-funded tour."

"Then how do I go? Directly cross the sea and sneak across?"

Che asked about the specific details of the mission again.

Shikaku shook his head and replied, "Of course not. This kind of spy mission requires you to have a legitimate identity so that it is convenient to gather intelligence."

Shikaku handed Che a document.

"And this identity cannot be related to Konoha, otherwise Kirigakure will be vigilant and may even alert the enemy."

Che opened the file and browsed it, while Shikaku explained on the side.

"This is a fisherman from the Sea Country. He was bitten by a shark while fishing at sea. He was rescued by a ninja from Konoha who happened to pass by and sent to Konoha for treatment. He is still in the village now."

"No one knows about this except us and the ninja in question."

"You will pretend to be him this time. Go to the coast and board his fishing boat. Then go back to the outer waters of the Sea Country to fish. Take the fish you caught to the Hidden Mist Village to sell."

"This way you will have sufficient reasons and will not arouse suspicion."

Che listened to Shikaku's introduction and read the information at the same time.

Then he made a seal and performed the transformation technique.

With a bang, Che turned into a tall and strong man with dark skin, regular features and firm eyes.

All of a sudden, the image of a tough guy who goes out to sea to fish all year round emerged.

Che said in a muffled voice: "Hello, I am Tian Jingchou from the Sea Country. Would you like to buy some fish? They are all freshly caught from the sea."

Lu Jiu gave a thumbs up and said: "Not bad, I said you are suitable."

Che used his six eyes to maintain the transformation technique extremely fine, enough to be mistaken for the real thing.

Che memorized all the relevant information about Tian Jingchou with just a few glances, plus his lifelike appearance and voice.

It can be said that Che is completely the second Tian Jingchou in the world. Che is confident that even Tian Jingchou's wife can't recognize him.

Che set out immediately and first came to the coast to find Tian Jingchou's boat.

The boat was not big, and it was tattered and patched up. As written in the information, Tian Jingchou's family was not rich.

Tian Jingchou had an older brother who only gave him this broken boat and an old house by the sea when dividing the family property.

Therefore, Tian Jingchou, who had been farming since childhood, was forced to start fishing for a living.

Che drove the boat all the way south and came to the ocean between the Land of Fire and the Land of the Sea.

The Land of the Sea is located in the south of the Ninja Continent and is an archipelago country composed of many islands of different sizes.

Che first caught enough fish in the ocean, then made a dirty disguise on the boat and on his body, and then rowed the boat to the Land of the Sea.

On the sea, a fishing boat came towards him.

"Xiao Chou! Where are you coming from! There are so many fish!"

On the fishing boat, a white-haired old man greeted enthusiastically and asked when he saw the full catch of fish on Che's boat.

Che answered loudly: "There is a school of fish in the deeper part to the north!"

"Okay! Then I have to hurry over there!"

The old fisherman rowed quickly and headed for the place Che pointed.

Che put away his smile and turned around to continue rowing towards the Sea Kingdom.

It seems that this disguise is flawless.

However, Che cannot go directly to the Water Kingdom, because he needs customs documents to go to the Water Kingdom.

Tian Jingchou's customs documents should be kept at home, so Che needs to go back to Tian Jingchou's home.
