Chapter 137 The disappeared Lin

Konoha position.

Just as the frontline war was in full swing, a figure rushed into the position in a panic.

"Where's Minato-sensei?"

Kakashi asked anxiously.

Che pointed forward and said, "He's directing the battle."

Che saw Kakashi's anxious mood and asked, "What, did something happen over there? Just tell me."

Kakashi's previous mission was to patrol the Eastern Front.

The eastern front is much safer than the southern front. After all, the enemy's main force can only use the original location of the Country of Whirlpool as a springboard to attack Konoha itself.

But on the battlefield, the so-called safety is only relative.

Kakashi said anxiously: "Lin is missing!"

Cheyi frowned and thought to himself: "Why did something happen to Lin again?"

Che immediately pressed Kakashi's shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, please explain the situation clearly to me first."

Kakashi let out a long breath, calmed down and said: "Lin and I were patrolling on the eastern front, but after a separate operation, I couldn't find Lin."

"But I used my Sharingan to find traces of several Kirigakure ninjas. I'm afraid these Kirigakure ninjas kidnapped Lin."

After Kakashi finished speaking, Che looked like he was thinking, so he spoke again.

"I'm here to find Teacher Minato. I'm afraid I can't save Lin by myself. Che, what are you thinking about?"

Che expressed his thoughts: "I'm wondering why Lin was taken away."

"This time is different from the last time. Last time you were performing a secret mission. Naturally, Iwagakure captured Lin to interrogate intelligence."

"But this time is different. Konoha and Kirigakure have basically given up on the eastern front. Even if Lin is caught and asked about Konoha's defense on the eastern front, it will be of no avail. Kirigakure does not have the strength to launch an attack from the eastern front."

"Unless... Kirigakure wants to use Lin for some other purpose."

Che then raised his head and said: "No matter what Kirigakure wants to do, we can't let them get their wish, not to mention Lin is our companion."

"Kakashi, Minato-sensei still wants to direct the war on the southern front. I will accompany you to rescue Lin."

Hearing this, Kakashi solemnly nodded and thanked: "Thank you very much."

Che patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said gently: "No need to say more, we are companions."

The two set off immediately and rushed from the Southern Front Headquarters to the Eastern Front.

"Don't worry too much. Although I still don't know what Kirigakure wants to do, at least I can be sure that Kirigakure will not harm Lin's life. At least until their goal is achieved, Lin will be safe."

"Otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to capture Lin alive."

Che comforted on the road.

Kakashi also nodded and said: "I understand. When I looked for Lin, I didn't find any traces of her blood. It can be seen that Kirigakure didn't want to hurt Lin."

After a long journey, the two arrived at the Eastern Front of the Country of Fire.

Che and Kakashi passed through Konoha's defenses.

Only one or two hundred troops were scattered along the long defense line on the eastern front.

If a small force wants to infiltrate, it will be easy.

So Che's current guess is that Kirigakure wants to use Lin to infiltrate into the heart of the Fire Country, but Che still doesn't know what the specific purpose is.

"Kakashi, take me to the place where Lin disappeared."

Che suddenly said that he wanted to go to the place where Lin disappeared and use clues to deduce Kirigakure's purpose.

"Okay, it's not far ahead."

Kakashi said pointing forward.

The two soon arrived at the location where Lin disappeared.

In the forest of the Country of Fire, there is a messy trace.

Messy footprints were scattered among the fallen leaves, with some traces of battle around them.

Che analyzed everything around him with his six eyes and restored the situation in his mind when Lin was kidnapped.

Lin should have been suddenly surrounded by mist ninjas appearing from all directions. Lin used the detonating talisman and the wind escape to fight back, but was blocked by the mist ninja's water formation wall.

Lin was then suddenly approached by a Mist Ninja and was captured alive using the Water Prison Technique.

"The mist ninja didn't use any offensive ninjutsu at all."

"It can be seen that they need Lin alive, and they don't even want Lin to get hurt."

"If it was just for information, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this."

Che analyzed.

Kakashi looked at Che, thought for a moment and asked, "What did you think of?"

Che put one hand on his chin as if thinking and said, "Maybe, Kirigakure wants to use Lin as a tailed beast weapon."

"What?!"

Kakashi was surprised and exclaimed.

Che and Kakashi looked at each other and said, "Yes, according to the information I know, the Three-Tails of Kirigakure Village has not found a suitable jinchuriki for a long time."

"Kirigakure may want to use Lin as a temporary Jinchuuriki, and then lead Lin to infiltrate into the heart of the Fire Country to release the Three-Tails. In that case, not to mention the direct damage caused by the Three-Tails, it will be our turn for Konoha to send ninjas back to defend, just It’s enough to change the tide of the battle.”

Kakashi heard this and immediately thought of this possibility.

"There is indeed such a possibility..."

"That would be dangerous for Rin. The jinchūriki will die if he loses the tailed beast!"

Kakashi's first thought was Lin's safety.

"But this also means that before the fog ninja releases the tailed beast, Rin is absolutely safe, because if the jinchūriki dies, the tailed beast will also die, and it will take at least several years to be resurrected."

Che analyzed calmly.

Kakashi was also a smart man, so he nodded and stopped panicking.

"The sealing process should be quite complicated. Kirigakure shouldn't have started taking action yet."

"We will patrol separately. Once one party detects movement, he will immediately send out a signal."

Che ordered.

Kakashi nodded, and the two immediately split up to fill the gaps in Konoha's weak defense.

At this time, in a hidden cave in the eastern part of the Country of Fire.

"Master Chunyu, is the seal completed?"

In the cave, a Kirigakure ANBU asked.

An old man with long hair and glasses wiped his sweat and replied: "It's done."

Lin was lying on the ground, and a sealing rune suddenly appeared on her abdomen.

Outside the cave, a huge iron chain was entangled on the ground, and a long trace was dragged out on the ground.

These signs indicate that a huge creature was dragged from the seaside to the outside of the cave, and then suddenly disappeared, leaving only the iron chains that originally bound the monster.

The leading Kirigakure Anbu immediately issued an order.

"Let's set off, sneak into Konoha, release the Three-Tails, and defeat Konoha in one fell swoop!"

"yes!"

There are more than twenty Kirigakure ANBU in the cave, all of them are elite.

It can be seen that Kirigakure Village attaches great importance to this mission.

Lin happened to wake up just now, opened her eyes, heard Kirigakure's plan and immediately asked: "How dare you do this, aren't you afraid of Konoha's revenge?!"

"Gag her mouth, it's really noisy, but you will die after the task is completed anyway, saving us the trouble of doing it ourselves."

The leading Kirigakure ANBU gave an order, and an ANBU immediately stepped forward and stuffed Lin's mouth with a piece of white cloth, causing her to make only angrily moans.

"Take her and let's go!"
