Chapter 76 Border Situation

The five hundred troops immediately left the village and headed northeast.

To the northeast of Fire Country are two countries, Tian Country and Tang Country.

These two countries are both small countries, and together they are only about one-sixth or seventh of the size of the Fire Country.

These two countries are located between the Land of Fire and the Ocean, and also between the peninsulas of the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder. They are the buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder.

The Kingdom of Thunder is located on the Peninsula of Thunder Kingdom, and in the south of the peninsula is the small country of Frost Kingdom.

Although the three countries of Tian, ​​Tang and Frost are sandwiched between the Fire and Thunder, their respective positions are actually different.

The Country of Fields is located in the north-northeast of the Country of Fire, with the sea to the north and the Iron Country, the neutral samurai country, to the west, so it is more neutral between the two countries.

The Kingdom of Tang is located in the northeast-eastern part of the Kingdom of Fire. Its area is three to four times larger than that of the Kingdom of Tian. It has a large number of borders with the Kingdom of Fire, so it has been biased towards the Kingdom of Fire since ancient times.

The Country of Frost is located on the isthmus of the Thunder Country Peninsula, connecting the Country of Thunder and the Country of Yu, so it is naturally more inclined to the Country of Thunder.

The situation of these three small countries and the two big countries of Fire and Thunder determines the deployment of this war.

Konoha established the Northeast Defense Line headquarters in Yunokuni, with a total of four thousand troops.

In addition, a thousand troops were deployed at the junction of the Land of Fields and the Land of Fire.

In addition to the 500 reinforcements currently rushing to the defense headquarters, the total strength of Konoha on the northeastern border is 5,500.

This number is quite large, especially under the premise that Konoha is fighting on two fronts, it is almost half of Konoha's combatable forces.

You know, this is not an army of 5,500 ordinary people, but an army of 5,500 ninjas.

Any genin here can easily massacre an entire village of ordinary people, a few dozen ninjas can capture a town, a few hundred ninjas can capture several large cities, and a thousand ninjas can destroy a small country.

And 5,500 people are the bargaining chips in the game between great powers.

The troops arrived at the headquarters on the third day after departure and were dispersed and deployed on various small defense lines under Orochimaru's arrangement, except Che.

In the command tent, Orochimaru, Uchiha Che and Namikaze Minato gathered around the battlefield terrain sand table.

Orochimaru was explaining the current situation to Minato. After all, Minato had not been on this line of defense for a while, so it was normal for him not to be familiar with the current situation.

After the exchange between the two ended, Orochimaru turned to Che, who had been watching the sand table silently just now, and asked: "Master Che, what do you think of the situation on the battlefield?"

Che looked up and saw Orochimaru's playful expression, as if he was expecting his answer.

Che then pointed at the sand table with his finger and said: "Isn't our defense line at the border of Tian Country a little too weak, and it is not connected to the defense line of Yu Country."

"It looks like a dent in the iron plate."

Orochimaru showed admiration in his eyes and replied: "Yes, but there is nothing we can do about it. We do not have enough troops, and Tian Country has declared neutrality. We cannot directly send troops to garrison."

"After all, the probability of Kumogakure taking a detour to invade from Tianno Country is low. There is our defense line in the direction of Yuno Country, and it is difficult to transport troops on the sea to the north, so we can only half-abandon this position."

"But we are not unprepared."

"The mobile unit Minato has is responsible for reinforcing Tanano's defense line."

"As long as the troops stationed at the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Fields hold firm and wait until the mobile troops are reinforced, we can attack the invading Kumo ninja from both sides of the Country of Fields."

Che nodded in understanding, knowing that this seemingly obvious loophole was already the best solution at present.

"So, Mr. Che, what position do you want to be assigned to?"

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils stared straight at Che and asked.

Che thought for a moment and replied: "The front line."

Che plans to make a name for himself on the border battlefield, which will be of great benefit to his future plans.

Orochimaru took a deep look at Che and said, "You have to be mentally prepared. The front line means the most dangerous."

Che nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

Orochimaru then looked at Namikaze Minato: "Then, Uchiha Che will be transferred to your command, Minato."

Namikaze Minato agreed immediately.

There are two troops under Minato. One is a mobile force, which is stationed in the rear to prepare for reinforcements on various battlefields, with a number of 800 people. The other is a forward force, responsible for frontline reconnaissance and leading the charge, with a number of 200 people.

These thousand ninjas are all Minato's subordinates.

Therefore, Minato's status in the entire border force is basically second only to Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru is one generation older than Minato, due to the special nature of the troops under Minato's control and Minato's increasingly famous reputation, sometimes people think that Minato is the person in charge of this battlefield defense line.

Minato originally wanted to transfer Che to the Mobile Force as a reserve force, but after Che's repeated requests, Che was sent to the forward force.

Che was transferred to the Inuzuka Paladin Team. The two had met before near the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Yu, when Che had just killed Kakuzu.

Inuzuka Paladin was deeply impressed by Che, so he greeted Che warmly when they met.

Che returned the favor politely, and the two started chatting quite familiarly.

Minato was also there, so Inuzuka Ting pointed at Minato and said to Che: "Back then, when Minato and I were in the same jonin team, although he was the captain, I still took care of him as my younger brother."

"Now that Minato has handed you over to me, I will also take care of you as my younger brother."

Che bowed and said: "Thank you, Inuzuka jonin."

"That's what I said, why are you still so distant?" Inuzuka Ting waved his hand, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Brother Ting." Che immediately changed his words.

Inuzuka Ting laughed and said to Minato: "This child is very sensible, don't you think?"

Minato smiled slightly and said: "He has been like this since he was a child. Okay, you guys chat first, and I will notify you if there is a mission."

"Okay." "Understood." After Inuzuka Ting and Che replied, Minato left.

Inuzuka Jade then brought Che to a four-man team led by him, including one jonin and three chunins, and now Che, a chunin, was to be added.

"Come on, this is the famous Uchiha Che, he is now our team member, come out and say hello!"

Inuzuka Jade clapped his hands and shouted a few times.

Several figures emerged from the nearby tents.

"Captain, you are awesome! You can actually pull our Konoha's first genius into our team!" A young ninja with a round face and a flat head shouted excitedly.

He is not very old, so he may have more feelings for Che, the genius.

"Dazhi, I'm here, speak more reservedly." Another man who looks mature and steady said while touching the flat-headed ninja named Dazhi.

"Uncle Chun! Don't touch my head! I won't grow taller!" Dazhi reacted a lot, and seemed to be very concerned about his height.

In addition to the two, a handsome young man rubbed his eyes and walked out of the tent. Seeing the noisy Daichi and Jun, he complained, "My head is going to explode."

"Woof woof woof!" A big yellow dog also ran out to greet Che's arrival.

"Nitian Daichi, Fuyuno Jun, Mizumoto Takuto, and my partner Huang Wan, these are all the members of our team, and now you have to be added."

Inuzuka Kou introduced Che one by one.

Che bowed slightly and said, "Hello everyone, I am Uchiha Che, please take care of me in the future."

The three people on the opposite side looked at each other, seeming a little surprised.

After all, Uchiha's reputation is not very good, and the reputation of Konoha's first genius is so powerful that the three people thought that the one who came would be an arrogant genius.

Unexpectedly, Che behaved so modestly and decently.

"Hello, hello!" Daichi responded hurriedly.

"It seems that our team finally has a reliable ninja." Fuyuno Jun sighed.

Mizumoto Takuto scratched his head and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Woof woof woof!" Huang Wan happily wagged his tail and greeted.
