Chapter 141 Platycodon Town

The three-tailed incident came to an end, Konohagakure lost a medical ninja Chunin Nohara Lin, while Kirigakure lost a tailed beast and a group of elite ANBU troops.

On paper, it seemed like a good deal for Konoha.

Nohara Rin, who became the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, died, preventing a disaster in Konoha.

But for Kakashi, it was an extremely cruel thing.

After Obito sacrificed his life to save Kakashi, Rin became Kakashi's most cherished companion.

However, the life of this last cherished companion also passed away.

Therefore, Kakashi fell into a state of self-blame and regret, and the whole person was confused.

Even Che's comfort didn't work, so under Minato's arrangement, Kakashi had returned to Konoha to recuperate.

After the Three-Tails Incident, Kirigakure's offensive could no longer hold up. Under Minato's command, the situation on the southern front was excellent.

But at this moment, something big happened on the Western Front.

"Minato, this is a frontline battle report sent directly from Lord Jiraiya."

Shikaku hurried to the front line and found Minato who was directing the battle.

Minato stood up and took the battle report, while Shikaku began to explain the situation on the Western Front battlefield.

"what happened?"

Minato asked as he opened the battle report.

Shikaku told Minato the information he knew.

"The Western Front has been defeated. Lord Jiraiya has led his troops to retreat to Platycodon Town."

"Platycodon Town? That's the hinterland of our country..." Minato's expression became heavy.

Minato glanced at the battle report and figured out the situation.

"So that's it...there's something wrong with the high-end combat power..."

There is not much difference in the troops deployed on the eastern front between Konoha and Sunagakure.

There are ten thousand people in Konoha, and there are less than two thousand more Sunagakure troops than Konoha troops.

For Konoha, this force is only half of the force, but for Sunagakure Village, it is almost the strength of the entire village.

After all, Sand Hidden Village is located in the Country of Wind with poor resources and a harsh living environment, and has always followed the route of elite soldiers.

In terms of military strength, Sunagakure can only be said to have a slight advantage.

But in terms of high-end combat power, Sunagakure Village is still full of people, including the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the One-Tailed Jinchuuriki Fenfuku, the elder Chiyo and the elder Ebizo.

Whether it's Luo Sha's magnetic escape or the power of the tailed beasts, or the puppet and poison techniques that the two elders are good at, they are all very difficult for ordinary ninjas to deal with.

Although there are two Konoha Sannin present here in Konoha, Tsunade and Jiraiya.

But Minato knew that Tsunade saw her boyfriend Kato Dan die in front of him during the last great ninja war. His death was miserable and he suffered from anemia since then.

Therefore, Tsunade cannot go to the frontal battlefield at all and can only act as a medical ninja in the rear.

In other words, the Konoha side of the Western Front battlefield was entirely supported by Jiraiya alone.

Originally it could barely hold on, but ever since Sunagakure launched a full-scale attack, Konoha has been losing ground.

"Fortunately...it's not too bad."

Minato comforted himself.

After all, under Jiraiya's command, the Konoha troops retreated in an orderly manner.

The main problem in Konoha now is the lack of high-end combat power.

No matter how strong Jiraiya is, it will be difficult to fight four against one.

After a short period of thinking, Minato made his decision.

"Shikaku, you take command of the southern front troops on my behalf. I'm going to support Jiraiya-sensei, along with Che."

Minato immediately decided to personally support Jiraiya and also pulled Che along.

Because the strength of Minato and Che was enough to turn the tide of the war on the Western Front. After all, the strength of these two people had been proven on the battlefield.

Seeing that Shikaku nodded and agreed to the support plan, Minato asked Che to withdraw from the front line.

"Che, let's go support the Western Front battlefield."

Che nodded immediately and asked casually: "Where is the battlefield?"

"Platycodon Town."

Che's face changed slightly, and Minato asked, "What's wrong?"

Che shook his head and explained: "It's nothing... I just didn't expect that Sunagakure would hit the door of Konoha."

"Yes, but the situation is not too bad. The village has sent a reinforcement army. As long as the two of us reinforce the battlefield, the situation can be reversed."

Minato said soothingly upon seeing this.

The two set off immediately and headed straight to Platycodon Town in the Country of Fire.

Both Minato and Che are known for their speed, so they can travel much faster than other ninjas.

With the two people's full efforts, it only took half a day to cross most of the Fire Country and rush from the southern battlefield to the western battlefield.

In a sense, this is also due to the continuous retreat on the Western Front battlefield.

"Minato-sensei, I want to go into Platycodon Town to see how the people react."

The two came not far from the battlefield, and Che suddenly spoke.

Minato couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words: "You are still thoughtful. After all, this is the first time that the people of the Fire Country have seen the enemy invade the hinterland."

"You go ahead. I will go to support Mr. Jiraiya first. You see how the people react. If the people are panicked, you are responsible for calming the people. You must not let trouble happen in the rear."

Che agreed immediately, then changed direction and rushed into Platycodon Town.

The small town of Platycodon Town doesn't even have a city wall, so Che can easily enter it.

As for the people in Platycodon Town, they stayed behind closed doors to avoid the war.

"Don't panic, everyone! Please believe that Konoha will definitely win!"

Che quickly shuttled through the town, shouting words to appease the people while looking for something.

Che walked straight through most of the town and finally saw a familiar figure on the street, Ye Cang.

Ye Cangzheng, disguised as a civilian, stuck his head out at the street entrance and looked at Che, and the two met their eyes.

Che quickly came to Ye Cang and whispered: "I finally found you."

When Ye Cang met, he said angrily: "Didn't you say that Sunagakure Village will never be able to attack this place? What's the situation now?"

Che waved his hand and said, "None of this is important. What's important is that your opportunity has come."

"Opportunity? I'm afraid you, Konoha, can't protect yourself."

Ye Cang looked disbelieving and crossed his arms, which made the two plump balls squeezed even more eye-catching.

Che said with a serious look: "Don't worry, it won't be Konoha that you can't protect yourself from."

"Your Sunagakure's current advantage is only temporary, and this posture of all-out attack with the whole army will not last long."

"It only takes one defeat, and the morale of the Sunagakure army will be completely shattered."

"At that time, it's a good opportunity for you to appear."

Ye Cang frowned and said, "How sure are you?"

"One hundred percent sure." Che held out a finger and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that after this battle, you will be the only successor to the position of Kazekage in the next generation."

Che said as he took out the scorching escape fire point from his pocket. The fire point emitted a white light that symbolized the terrifying high temperature.

"I still have this thing."
