Chapter 132 Returning to the Southeast

For Konoha's northwest defense line, another transfer order was sent from Konoha Village.

"Che, it seems we are going to the southeast defense line again."

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

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

And Che was also on the southeastern defense line before coming to the Kingdom of Rain.

Minato also brought Kakashi and Obito with him.

The soldiers were very fast. Minato organized his troops and set off immediately. Everyone came to the southeastern defense line.

The current Southeast defensive line has some changes from a year ago.

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

Because all the strongholds and headquarters that Kirigakure attacked from the eastern front had been uprooted before.

Therefore, the current battlefield is basically the southern front.

In Minato's absence, Shikaku was responsible for coordinating and commanding the southeastern defense line.

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

Shikaku told Minato all the changes and details of the current battle situation.

Minato quickly understood the 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 a concern of his.

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

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

Minato nodded, agreeing with Shikaku's concerns.

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

"To be cautious, someone is still needed to gather information."

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "I have a suitable candidate."

So Che was called to the camp.

"Shikaku-sensei, I knew it would be up to you to call me."

Che waved his hand helplessly and walked in.

"There is no way, who is the most suitable for you? Those who can do more work." Lu Jiu stroked his beard and handed over the task.

"This time we are going to the mainland of Water Country, Kirigakure Village, to inquire about information, and see if there are any signs of Kirigakure and Sunagakure uniting."

Che complained: "Prying for information again."

The last time Shikaku came to see him, he asked him to find out information about Kirigakure's stronghold. This time, he went even further and asked him to go directly to Kirigakure Village.

"I'm not giving you a chance to make meritorious deeds." Lu Jiu explained, and Che reluctantly accepted.

Speaking of which, Shikaku and the top management of Konoha are simply two extremes.

The senior officials of Konoha are deeply afraid that Che will perform meritorious service on the battlefield and become full-fledged, thus threatening the rule of the senior officials of Konoha.

Shikaku, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He regards Che as an all-purpose tool man.

Although this reflects Lu Jiu's trust in Che, Che still feels like a brick that needs to be moved wherever it is needed.

Lu Jiu explained: "I really didn't mean to embarrass you."

"You also know that espionage missions are inherently dangerous, and now that we are in war, it is even more difficult."

"Once discovered in an enemy country during wartime, it is almost impossible for ordinary ninjas to survive."

"The only suitable person I can think of who is capable and energetic is you."

Che nodded. He only objected a bit, but it wasn't that he really didn't want to go.

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

Lu Jiu smiled and said: "That's right, you can treat it as a trip at public expense."

"Then how do I get there? Straight across the sea and sneak across?"

Che asked again about the specific details of the mission.

Lu Jiu shook his head and replied: "Of course not. This kind of spy mission requires you to have an aboveboard identity so that you can easily gather information."

Said Shikaku handed Che a document.

"And this identity cannot be related to Konoha, otherwise Kirigakure will definitely be wary, and maybe he will alert others."

Che opened the file and browsed it, while Lu Jiu was also explaining.

"This is a fisherman from the Kingdom of the Sea. He was bitten by a shark when he went fishing. He happened to be rescued by a ninja from Konoha who passed by and was sent to Konoha for treatment. He is still in the village now."

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

"You pretend to be him this time. First go to the coast and board his fishing boat, then return to the outer waters of the Kingdom of the Sea to fish, and take the caught fish to Kirigakure Village to sell."

"This would provide sufficient grounds and would not arouse suspicion."

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

Then he formed a seal and performed the transformation technique.

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

Suddenly, the image of a tough guy who goes out to sea and fish all year round emerges.

Che said angrily: "Hello, I am Tian Jingchou from the Kingdom of the Sea. Do you want to buy fish? They are all good fish caught fresh from the sea."

Shikaku gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, I'll say you are suitable."

Che used his six eyes to maintain the transformation technique extremely finely, enough to make it look fake.

After just a few glances, Che memorized all the relevant information about Tian Jingchou, including his appearance and voice that looked real.

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

Che set off immediately and first came to the coast and found Tian Jingchou's boat.

The ship was not big and was in tatters and repairs. As written in the information, Tian Jingchou's family was not wealthy.

Tian Jingchou had an eldest brother. When the family property was divided, he was only given this broken ship and an old house on the seaside.

Therefore, Tian Jingchou, who had made a living from 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 Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Sea.

The Kingdom of the Sea is located in the south of the Ninja World continent. It is an archipelago country composed of many islands of different sizes.

Che first caught enough fish in the ocean, then made dirty disguises on the boat and body, and then rowed the boat to the kingdom of the sea.

On the sea, a fishing boat came towards me.

"Xiao Chou! Where did you come from? There are so many fish!"

On the fishing boat, a white-haired old man greeted him warmly and couldn't help but ask when he saw the fish on Che's boat.

Che replied loudly: "Just to the north, there is a school of fish farther away!"

"Okay! Then I have to rush there!"

Hearing this, the old fisherman quickly started rowing towards the position pointed by Che.

Che put away his smile, turned around and continued rowing towards the Kingdom of the Sea.

It seems that there is no flaw in this disguise.

However, Che cannot go directly to the Kingdom of Water yet, because going to the Kingdom of Water still requires customs clearance documents.

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