Chapter 84 Investigation Mission

Minato and Che came to the coach's camp where Orochimaru was.

The three of them gathered around the terrain sand table again.

Orochimaru said straight to the point: "Now there is a high probability that Kumogakure will have a force bypassing our defense lines to attack."

"Our defense line guards the strategic arteries between the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Frost, and completely blocks Kumogakure from passing through the Kingdom of Yu to attack the mainland of the Fire Country."

"So, the Cloud Ninja may want to use a surprise force to break the deadlock."

Minato added: "Our military strength is at a disadvantage, so our response strategy can only be passive."

"The only troops that can be mobilized in the camp now are my one thousand troops, and now there are only more than 900 troops due to casualties."

"That's why we can't divide our forces even more."

"The enemy's surprise force is conservatively estimated to have four thousand people. Our troops must ensure that they act together to ensure combat effectiveness."

Che instantly understood the intentions of Orochimaru and Minato, "You mean, the troops will stay put, send a few teams to investigate the enemy's whereabouts, and then provide support?"

Minato's eyes showed appreciation, but Orochimaru was not surprised at all. After all, Che had been Orochimaru's assistant for a period of time.

Orochimaru pointed to the sand table and said, "Minato and I have discussed that Kumogakure may have three directions of attack."

"First, land on the coast of Tian Country, and then attack the fragile border defense line of Tian Country."

"Second, we still land from Tian Country, but turn around and enter Yu Country to besiege us with the main force of Kumo Ninja."

"Third, bypass our defense line from the southeast from the sea, land and attack our undefended Yu Country territory, or even directly attack the eastern coast of the Fire Country."

"We have to take care of these three directions, so I gave this task to Minato."

Orochimaru raised his hand to signal Minato to express his opinion.

"Due to troop limitations, I only plan to send five teams to disperse to investigate."

"There are many undefended areas in the Country of Yu, so three teams will be sent, and one will be sent to the eastern part of the Country of Fire."

"The last one will be sent to the Kingdom of Tian."

"This last team has the most difficult task, because the enemy has a higher probability of landing in Tian Country, and you also have to determine the direction of their attack."

"Therefore, I have decided to hand over this task to you and the Inuzuka Paladin Team."

Che agreed immediately, "No problem."

Minato warned again: "We must avoid fighting and ensure safety. If we find any traces of the enemy, we must immediately notify the Tanano Defense Line Branch and the Yuno Defense Line Headquarters."

"Understood." Che replied. With his current strength, he was completely confident in completing this task.

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction and said: "Without further delay, you will set off immediately."

Che was about to turn around and leave when Minato stopped Che and told him: "Be sure to pay attention to safety. Also, the person in charge of Tianzhi's defense line is Hyuga Hiashi, the leader of the Hyuga clan. You can ask him to support your team with some manpower. The Hyuga clan’s Byakugan is very effective in investigation missions.”

Che thought for a moment and then replied: "Okay, then I will go to the Tianzhi Defense Line first."

Che then left the coach's camp and came to the Inuzuka Paladin team to inform the four of them about the mission.

The four people had different reactions.

Inuzuka Jaw calmly accepted the task.

As the senior jounin of Konoha, he had never seen any tasks before. Although this task was difficult, it was essentially an investigation task.

As a ninja of the Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Paladin is good at not only the beast-like ninja technique with powerful physical attacks, but also the powerful sense of smell.

Therefore, investigative missions are often carried out.

Futada Daichi is still the passionate young man who only cares about military achievements regardless of danger. He expects: "After this mission is successful, I can always be promoted to a special jounin!"

"Che, you will definitely be promoted by then. You will probably be promoted to jounin in no time."

Fuyuno Jun frowned and said: "It is really a dangerous task to investigate the whereabouts of the enemy's 4,000-man troops."

Mizumoto Takuto sighed and said: "There are more than four thousand people..."

Futada Daichi stood on tiptoe and patted the two of them, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Mizumoto Takuto sneered and said mockingly: "I don't know who was saved by the two of us just now."

Fuyuno Chun also said: "You'd better protect yourself first!"

Futada Daichi crossed his arms and remained silent to express his dissatisfaction.

At this time, it was Inuzuka Pala who stood up and took charge of the overall situation and said: "Okay, stop bickering, go pack your things quickly, and we will set off in five minutes."

Everyone returned to the camp, put on all their equipment, and brought three days' supplies with them.

Set off at dusk and head straight for the Tanano Defense Line.

At around eleven or twelve o'clock at night, we arrived at the Tianzhi Defense Line.

After reporting their identities to the patrol guards, Che and his party were able to meet Hinata and Hinashi.

Hinata Hinata was wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform with a green jounin vest on top. Although he had a turban on his head to protect his forehead, Che could tell that he was a member of the clan.

"You want a reinforcement from the Hyuga clan?"

Since Che and his party had already explained their intention during the briefing, Hinata Hinashi asked straight to the point.

"That's right." Che, as the person in charge of this mission, answered Hinata Hizu's question.

After getting confirmation from Che himself, Hinata Hinata signaled the people outside the camp to come in.

That man was dressed the same as Hinata Hinashi and looked very much like him.

However, Che's six eyes could clearly see that this man had a curse mark on his head that was covered by a turban.

"This is my compatriot brother, Hyuga Hizashi. His strength is equal to mine. I believe he can help you."

Hinata Hiashi introduced.

Hinata Hizashi greeted Che and his group politely.

Che did not hesitate, and after accepting the reinforcement, he took them away from Tianzhi's defense line.

Time is tight and the task is arduous, so there is no room for excessive delay.

Hyuga Hizashi was quite silent along the way, but he was also very cooperative, and he investigated the territory of Tiannokuni with Che and the Inuzuka Paladin team.

Several people investigated from Tianzhi's defense line all the way north, and then to the east of Yunokuni's defense line.

Because Che was worried that Yunyin's troops were approaching.

Fortunately, no trace of Yunyin was found, and several people also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Kumo ninja haven't gone deep into Tian Country yet..." Hinata Hizashi said seriously, with veins popping out around his eyes, looking a little ferocious.

Hinata Hizashi then closed his eyes.

Che agreed from the side and sighed in his heart: In terms of field of vision alone, Byakugan is better.

Inuzuka Paladin stood up and said, "Even so, we cannot be careless."

"The enemy hasn't penetrated deep yet, which means we are about to penetrate deep."

"Next, we have to be more careful."
