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 Yuno Country, 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.

Coupled with 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 combat 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. Only Che was left behind.

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: "Che-kun, 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 must 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. It has 800 people. The other is a forward force, which is responsible for frontline reconnaissance and leading the charge. It has 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 higher than Minato, due to the special nature of the troops under Minato's control and Minato's recent growing 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 unit as a reserve force, but after Che's repeated requests, he sent Che to the forward unit.

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 on the side, so Inuzuka Paladin pointed at Minato and said to Che: "I think back when Minato and I were in the same Jonin team, even though he was the captain, I still took care of him as my younger brother."

"Now that Minato leaves you in my hands, I will take care of you as my little brother."

Che bowed and said, "Thank you Inuzuka Jounin."

"You've already said that, why are you still arguing?" Inuzuka said, waving his hands and pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Brother Ya," Che immediately changed his words.

Inuzuka Paladin laughed loudly and said to Minato: "This kid is very sensible, don't you think so?"

Minato smiled slightly and said: "He has been like this since he was a child. Okay, you guys chat first, and I will inform you about the mission."

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

Inuzuka Jaw immediately brought Che to a four-person team he commanded, including one jounin and three chuunin from Inuzuka Jaw, and now Che was going to be added as a chunin.

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

Inuzuka Paladin clapped his hands and shouted several times.

Several figures emerged from the nearby tents.

"Captain, you are so awesome! You can actually get our Konoha's first talent to join our team!" A young ninja with a round face and a flat head shouted excitedly.

He is not too old, so he may have more feelings for Che, a genius.

"Dazhi, I'm here, please be more reserved when you speak." Another man who looked mature and steady touched the flat-headed ninja named Dazhi and said.

"Uncle Chun! Don't touch my head! I'm not tall!" Dazhi reacted loudly, seeming to be very concerned about his height.

In addition to the two of them, a handsome young man walked out of the tent rubbing his eyes. When he saw the noisy Dazhi and Chun, he complained: "It's so noisy that my head is about to explode."

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

"Daichi Futada, Jun Fuyuno, Takuto Mizumoto, and my partner Huangmaru. These are all the members of our team, and now we have to add you."

Inuzuka Palato introduced Che one by one.

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

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

After all, Uchiha's reputation was not very good, and coupled with the reputation of Konoha's number one genius, the three of them all thought that the one coming would be an arrogant genius.

I didn't expect Che to behave so modestly and appropriately.

"Hello, hello!" Dazhi responded quickly.

"It seems that our team finally has a reliable ninja." Fuyuno Jun said with emotion.

Mizumoto Takuto scratched his head and extended his hand to say hello.

"Woof woof woof!" Huang Wan said hello happily, wagging his tail.
