Chapter 567 Counterattack Plan
Before arriving in the Country of Grass, Mu Yue used Konoha's special communication method to contact the ninja troops of the Country of Grass.
Out of caution, Mu Yue did not tell the Grass Country ninja troops a series of information about the specific strength of the support troops, but directly discussed the matter of the meeting.
Jiraiya was happy to learn that there was support, but he refused Mu Yue's request to join up and told Mu Yue their current situation.
After regrouping the troops, Jiraiya's ninja army still had 670 ninjas.
Jiraiya suspected that there were still unexposed spies among his ninja troops, so he broke up the large troops into small groups to stop the Iwagakure troops.
After two tests, Jiraiya confirmed that there were still spies in the ninja army, but for a while he couldn't determine who the spies were or how many spies there were.
Jiraiya believes that the rendezvous cannot be carried out before the spy is found, otherwise the last failure will be repeated.
"Commander Mu Yue, how should we respond?" Nara Suzaku asked Mu Yue.
Before asking Mu Yue, Nara Suzaku had already thought carefully about it in his mind, but could not come up with a good solution.
The best and most direct way is definitely to find spies, but Jiraiya's ninja troops are stronger than the support ninja troops and have more outstanding talents.
Jiraiya's ninja troops haven't found the spy yet, so the support troops may not have been useful in the past.
Mu Yue looked thoughtful and did not reply immediately.
It is not difficult for him to find the hidden Bai Ping in the army, it just takes time to identify them one by one.
Mu Yue was thinking about how to use Bai Jue's trick to deceive Yan Yin.
Since Shiro Zetsu can act as a spy for Iwagakure's troops, it means that Iwagakure's side has also been infiltrated by Shiro Zetsu.
In this case, he could let Bai Zetsu know the false news, and then pass it on to the Iwagakure troops, so that the Iwagakure troops would be misled by the false news.
"What is arriving now is the vanguard of the support force. There are only fifty ninjas who can meet first to discuss the next battle." Mu Yue thought for a while and said.
"Just reply like this."
"By the way, add the news that I am in the vanguard force." Mu Yue added.
Nara Suzaku and the other ninjas who were discussing all looked at Mu Yue with puzzled faces, wondering why Mu Yue responded like this.
Before the spy is found, rendezvous will only reveal one's own intelligence and repeat the same mistakes.
Although Mu Yue deliberately gave false information that there were only fifty ninjas.
But what's the use? When they actually meet up, they will still be exposed if they don't find the spy.
"Commander Mu Yue, do you want to take fifty ninjas to help Lord Jiraiya find the spies?" Suzaku Nara thought for a while and asked.
Only with this reason can Mu Yue's reply be justified.
Mu Yue nodded and replied: "Yes, I have a perceptual ability that can sense the kindness and malice of others towards me. Although ninjas who are malicious to me are not necessarily spies, they can also be greatly reduced. Find the scope.”
The effect of the identification technique is so incredible that Mu Yue cannot take the initiative to tell it.
Moreover, Mu Yue does have a ninjutsu that can sense good and evil, and the Haki of seeing and hearing can be developed in this direction.
However, Mu Yue has just reached the proficiency level of seeing and hearing Haki, and her proficiency is still very low, so it does not have this effect.
Nara Suzaku looked surprised, he didn't expect Mu Yue to have such an ability.
Perceiving good and evil is indeed an excellent ability to distinguish spies, especially for a ninja with a good reputation like Mu Yue.
If he were one of his own, how could he be malicious to a gentle and kind person like Mu Yue for no reason?
If it is an enemy spy, for a famous genius like Mu Yue, he would definitely want to put him to death right now. It is impossible not to have any malicious intentions.
"In this case, it is indeed more appropriate to lead a small group of troops to rendezvous first." Mimura Yemaki nodded in agreement.
This will not expose the intelligence of the supporting troops, but can also quickly help the Grass Country ninja troops get out of crisis.
And fifty ninjas are quite a force and can handle most situations.
After Jiraiya gave a positive reply and agreed on a meeting place, Mu Yue also called out the ninjas who had already been selected.
"From now on, we are the vanguard of the support force, and the real support force has not arrived at the Country of Grass. Do you know?" Mu Yue reminded after gathering fifty ninjas.
"Except for me, no matter who talks to you about the support force, you cannot reveal the real information."
Bai Jue must absorb the chakra of the corresponding ninja before he can use the art of disguise to transform. Mu Yue is confident that Bai Jue will never absorb chakra. He cannot guarantee whether other ninjas will absorb chakra.
Seeing Mu Yue's serious face, the ninjas nodded seriously and wrote down all Mu Yue's words.
After talking about the precautions, Mu Yue led the ninjas to the agreed meeting place.
In order to ensure that the remaining support troops had sufficient combat effectiveness, in addition to his five disciples, Mu Yue brought the remaining forty-five ninjas with him, leaving most of the jounin and special jounin behind. Support troops.
When she was about to arrive at the agreed place, Mu Yue first used her sense of sight to sense, and then opened her white eyes to carefully observe the surroundings. After confirming that there was no problem, she took her subordinates to the meeting.
In order to prevent accidents, Mu Yue did not close her white eyes and kept them open.
Mu Yue now has a Yang Seal and has a lot of chakra, so it doesn't matter if she uses her Byakugan to consume some chakra.
Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato and his two other disciples had arrived and were waiting at the designated place.
Seeing Mu Yue coming with the troops, Jiraiya quickly stepped forward and said:
"Iwagakure is really weird this time. His intelligence capabilities are ridiculously strong. I don't even know how many spies there are in the army."
In order to ensure that there would be no problems in meeting Mu Yue, Jiraiya did it very secretly. Not only were there very few insiders, he even only brought three of his disciples.
Now Jiraiya is no longer superstitious about those family ninjas. The jonins of the Sarutobi clan can have traitors, and it is not uncommon for other families to have traitors.
It's different with his own disciples. From childhood to adulthood, Jiraiya has been able to ensure that they don't have any problems.
"I have read the information on the battlefield, and there are indeed a lot of doubts." Mu Yue nodded, and then looked at the fifty ninjas behind her.
"Except for Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito... and others, the other ninjas are scattered around to be on guard!"
Mu Yue sent all the ninjas except his disciples to the surrounding area for warning.
Although Mu Yue, who has white eyes, does not need their warning, the less people know about their subsequent conversation, the better.
"Uncle Toad, Mr. Minato, are you not injured?" Obito couldn't help but ask.
Namikaze Minato smiled and shook his head to express that he was fine.
"Are you kidding? I'm a Sannin. This little difficulty can't hurt me. Also, he's not Uncle Toad, he's Toad Sage!" Jiraiya emphasized, knocking Obito on the head.
"Okay, Uncle Toad." Obito replied with an unmoved nod. In his mind, there are only Six Paths Immortal and Mu Yue Immortal.
Jiraiya:......
"Oh, Shuhei, we are so pitiful. Although we are in the same unit as Minato, it seems like he is a non-existent person. He has obviously helped with training before." Dekai sighed.
"Sohei-senpai, Dekai-senpai, are you injured? I can provide treatment." Nohara Lin asked softly.
"Hehe, no need." Dekayi smiled and waved his hand. He just complained that the two of them had no presence and were always ignored.
Ignoring Obito, who was a little unbeatable, Jiraiya looked at Mu Yue.
It is normal for his subordinates to be vigilant around, but almost all of his subordinates were asked to carry out vigilance work. Jiraiya thought that Mu Yue might have something more important to say.
After giving everyone on Jiraiya's side an appraisal, Mu Yue said:
"Actually, all the support troops have arrived. There are 500 ninjas besides me, including 15 jounin and 15 special jounin..."
Mu Yue first briefly explained the information about the supporting troops.
"Ah? Didn't you say we only reached the vanguard?"
Dekayi was a little confused. He didn't expect that his intelligence exchange could be false.
"You might be worried about spies getting information." Minato Namikaze analyzed.
In fact, he felt a little strange when he learned the information.
The Iwagakure troops in the Kingdom of Grass are now much stronger than those of Konoha. It does not make much sense to send an elite team of fifty people to rush to the Kingdom of Grass. It cannot change the situation of the battle unless all of these fifty people are about the same size as Mu Yue. strength.
"In this case, Muyue, do you have any thoughts on catching spies?" Jiraiya asked.
Mu Yue is very strong, and even one person can make their small army safer.
But Jiraiya didn't think Mu Yue had spent much time converging on this.
If he hadn't seen Mu Yue among the so-called vanguard troops, Jiraiya would definitely have refused to join him in case something went wrong.
Mu Yue nodded and repeated the explanation given to the support team.
"It's really a good way to sense goodwill and malice!" Jiraiya's eyes lit up.
If a hated person has this ability, it may not be very efficient in identifying spies.
But if the person with this ability is Mu Yue, Jiraiya feels that he can catch it right away.
Mu Yue was kind to others and cooked delicious food. Under the conditions of being a ninja from the same village, he harbored ill will towards Konoha. Jiraiya did not dare to think about how deep hatred that person must have towards other people.
It's impossible for everyone to like Mu Yue, but those who don't like him shouldn't be "malicious" and at best they won't be cold to him.
"So it must be Muyue Sage." Obito praised in his heart.
Jiraiya can only hit a little at best, but Mu Yue seems to be omnipotent.
"My idea is to use my ability to find the spies first, and then use a trick to let the spies obtain false information, so as to create a situation that is beneficial to Konoha." Mu Yue pushed the frame of the mirror with her right hand and told her general plan.
"In this way, the four hundred and fifty hidden ninjas will become a surprise force!" Jiraiya smiled and patted Mu Yue on the shoulder, roughly guessing what Mu Yue was thinking.
He had to admit that Mu Yue had considered all aspects thoroughly, even better than his battle-hardened commander.
Of course, it is also because Mu Yue has the key ability to break the situation that she can make these thoughts.
"What do you think we should do next? Should we go to small groups of troops one by one to investigate, or should we gather all the troops together?" Jiraiya thought for a while and asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's order did not include the support troops being directly merged into the Konoha Army of the Land of Grass, so Mu Yue is currently the troop commander at the same level as Jiraiya, and they have to discuss it, and no one can Whoever has the right to order.
"Gather all the troops together. It would be too slow to investigate one by one, and the possibility of exposing the plan would be greater." Mu Yue replied after thinking.
The investigation was carried out one by one in small groups, and they had to be gathered together in the end. Mu Yue was worried that a new Bai Jue might appear during this process, and Mu Yue, who was cautious, might choose to investigate all of them.
So Mu Yue thought it would be better to call the troops together for an overall inspection from the beginning, and then start planning directly.
The faster the plan is carried out, the less time is left for the enemy to think.
"Okay." Jiraiya felt that what Mu Yue said made sense and agreed.
When the plan was almost discussed, Mu Yue called back the subordinates in charge of guarding and followed Jiraiya to the small unit where Jiraiya was.
"I'm really sorry. It seems that the war has come to an end, Minato, so you can take care of Kushina yourself." Mozuki said to Namikaze Minato with a smile on the way.
Not long after Namikaze Minato sent him a letter, Sarutobi Hiruzen's order came down.
Namikaze Minato showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, and then sighed: "I hope so, there have been too many unexpected surprises recently."
He wrote that letter because he had a premonition of the situation in the Iwagakure War, but the development of the facts still exceeded Namikaze Minato's expectations.
If it weren't for Mu Yue's ability to sense malice, Namikaze Minato would have estimated that the Grass Country troops could only passively defend for a long time, even if there were additional troops.
"If it was spies who led to the failure of the Grass Country troops.
So Teacher Muyue, who has special perception ability, will definitely be regarded as a thorn in Yangakure's side. Is it possible that it is for this reason that he is surrounded and killed by many experts of Yangakure? ” Kakashi thought in his mind.
Kakashi has never been a high-ranking ninja force, but he has been on the battlefield a lot in recent years.
The espionage incident that could lead to the defeat of the Grass Country troops without any warning was definitely not an ordinary espionage incident.
"Speak less when you get there." Kakashi couldn't help but remind Obito.
Following Mu Yue, they now know a lot of confidential information.
Obito's face darkened, "Kakashi, you underestimate me too much. I'm not a big talker who likes to talk about everything."
"Haha." Kakashi smiled lightly.
Obito was so warm that he would have wanted to have a fight with Kakashi if the timing hadn't been unsuitable.
"Just wait and see!" Obito said harshly.
In order for Kakashi to see his ability to keep secrets, he planned not to communicate with ninjas who were not friends when he arrived, so that it would be impossible to expose the information.
Kakashi watched Obito's reaction and nodded inwardly.
