Two days later, at the Konoha camp.
"Shikaku-sensei."
Shintaro was in charge of receiving Shikaku, who had come from the Western Front, and they both walked towards the command camp where Fugaku was.
"How have you been lately?" Shikaku asked with a smile.
"Not bad, but after all, we're on the battlefield. How comfortable can we really be?"
"Haha, forget it. I was on the Western Front, and sometimes I sneaked deep behind enemy lines into the Land of Wind. The environment was so harsh that I could eat two bowls of sand a day."
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were very familiar with one another and there was no sense of alienation at all.
"Captain, Shikaku-sensei has arrived."
Shintaro and Shikaku entered the camp.
Fugaku stood up and exchanged a few words with Shikaku, and Shikaku quickly inquired about specific matters.
After all, he had just been transferred from the Western Front and wasn't yet aware of the situation.
"The current situation on the Eastern Front is like this. There are 1,000 troops in the rear, and we have 1,357 troops under our command."
"These forces were previously commanded separately, but as you can see, they were nearly defeated by Kirigakure one by one. So, I propose that we join forces to ensure the security of the defense line."
Fugaku sought Shikaku's cooperation, something the Hyuga Clan wouldn't easily agree to.
The idea of combining forces under one roof sounded good, but whose orders would the troops follow when going into battle?
After all, Fugaku had more troops remaining, and more people would definitely follow his orders. Perhaps even ninjas from other clans would follow his orders.
Shikaku stroked his beard and muttered, "That's because we don't have enough troops anymore... In this case, combining forces for defense is our only option."
Seeing Shikaku agree right away, Fugaku couldn't help but smile, "Excellent!"
Shikaku suddenly asked, "I heard from Shintaro that you seem to want to launch a counterattack against Kirigakure?"
Fugaku nodded, "Yes, Konoha has always been on the defensive. Now that the battle has reached a stalemate for so long, it's time to launch a counterattack."
Shikaku continued stroking his beard, "I don't mind, but before launching a counterattack, we need to learn more about the enemy's specific layout, and intelligence work is crucial."
"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Fugaku asked.
"Isn't the candidate right next to you and me?" Shikaku spread his hands and showed a mysterious smile.
The two of them then looked at Shintaro simultaneously.
"Shikaku-sensei, it's not appropriate to treat me like a laborer as soon as you arrive, is it?"
Shintaro joked with a smile.
"No choice, who's the most suitable person for this task?"
Shikaku looked into his eyes and said meaningfully.
Fugaku asked, "Shintaro, how about it? Do you accept this mission?"
"Since both the captain and Shikaku-sensei have spoken, of course, I have to comply." Shintaro chose to accept the task and left the camp.
"Asuma, call Tetsuo and Hamasu, we have a mission."
Asuma then summoned the other two.
Shintaro began giving instructions for the mission, "This is a reconnaissance mission. We need to cross the buffer zone to detect Kirigakure's specific deployment."
"It's been a long time since we carried out a reconnaissance mission." Asuma sighed emotionally.
"Yes, the last time we carried out a reconnaissance mission together was on the Northeastern Defense Line." Tetsuo nodded and said.
"Let's go." Shintaro led the three of them towards the buffer zone.
On the way, his Six Eyes kept flashing, continuously scanning the surrounding area.
Although no troops were stationed in the buffer zone, there were often small teams sent by both sides.
The forest in the Land of Fire was tall and dense, providing good cover. Without using Six Eyes or other perception methods, the enemy might not be seen until they were face-to-face.
The four of them headed towards the coast.
At the same time, a Kirigakure patrol team came from the opposite direction.
"Miss, our patrol route has ended, and we should head back."
A middle-aged ninja earnestly persuaded.
"You go back, I'll investigate further. This is also a contribution to the village."
The young woman replied earnestly.
"This…"
"Don't worry, I won't go far."
This eldest woman was naturally Terumi Mei.
Terumi left her three teammates and ventured deeper into the buffer zone alone.
"Oh, I finally got rid of them. It's so boring to follow a fixed route. I need to change things up."
Terumi liked new things and hated sameness. Such a personality could at best be described as determined and enterprising, but at worst, it was like a little girl's mentality of loving the new and hating the old.
Of course, deliberately changing routes on the battlefield showed that Terumi had full confidence in her own strength.
She was only twelve years old, had mastered the Water element very well, and had two Kekkei Genkai: Futton and Yoton.
Unless she was unlucky...
"Uchiha... Shintaro!"
Terumi was startled by the white-haired boy who suddenly appeared before her.
The young man smiled mischievously and said, "Why, no greeting after so long?"
Terumi's expression was quite extraordinary. First, she was slightly surprised, then realizing this was the battlefield, she immediately showed a wary expression and backed off a little.
"What are you up to?"
Hearing Terumi's wary question, Shintaro smiled faintly and said, "Just asking for directions."
Terumi showed a sudden realization and nodded heavily.
"I see…"
"[Kirigakure no Jutsu!]"
Terumi formed a seal and released a thick mist, then... ran!
"If you can't beat me, you can't run away, hehe."
Terumi was very proud of her intelligence. However, she soon realized that no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't move one step forward.
She turned around, and the thick mist behind her was being absorbed by a blue orb in Shintaro's hand, then casually thrown aside to disperse.
Behind Terumi, there was a blue orb absorbing her body, preventing her from moving forward.
Now Shintaro's mastery of [Blue] had even surpassed his previous life, allowing him to control the direction and intensity of the pulling force quite freely.
For the first strike, Shintaro controlled the pulling force to only absorb the water vapor in the surrounding air.
For the second strike, Shintaro controlled the pull and the direction of the pull simultaneously, making it impossible for Terumi to move one step forward, yet without causing any injuries.
Terumi was shocked but quickly calmed down and showed a smile.
"Misunderstanding, I remembered I still have some tasks to complete. Can you let me go back first?"
She lowered her head and asked while clasping her hands together. "No need to rush back. It won't be too late to answer a few of my questions before going back."
Shintaro still had a playful expression.
Terumi swallowed nervously and said, "What do you want to ask?"
"The specific deployment of Kirigakure's fortress, how many people are there, who's the commander, what's your troop transport route, and what's the war's purpose?"
Shintaro asked a series of questions in quick succession.
Terumi smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary ninja. How could I know so much... How about... you let me go back and ask?"
Shintaro calmly activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, which frightened Terumi, who closed her eyes in panic.
"I don't want to!"
Terumi knew the power of the Sharingan's genjutsu, so she was afraid Shintaro would use it to extract information from her.
Shintaro approached Terumi and said, "If you're so scared, just answer my questions."
Terumi was almost in tears. "I really don't know what you're asking... There are quite a few people in the camp. I don't know the details. There should be more than a thousand, and the commander is Ao, the one who took the Byakugan from Konoha some time ago."
Terumi disclosed some trivial information, appearing panicked but actually being cautious.
Shintaro was not satisfied with this answer.
"Anything else?"
"I really don't know. How about you let me go back, and I can spy for you?" Terumi said hesitantly.
Shintaro pretended to think and then asked, "What if you rebel and don't come back?"
"I swear!" Terumi said, pointing to the sky, "If I betray you, I'll never be able to marry, and no man will ever want me!"
Her words were sincere, and she seemed earnest.
Shintaro smiled and said, "This is a very poisonous oath for you. Seeing you so sincere, I'll let you go."
"Really!!"
Terumi did not expect to be able to return with such a small trick, so she opened her eyes excitedly.
However, what she saw was a pair of blood-red and blue magatama Sharingan.
Genjutsu!
Terumi was hit, and her eyes instantly became dull.
Beside her, Asuma shook his head and said, "You're really good at deceiving women. No wonder you could fool Kurenai."
Tetsuo and Hamasu also quietly praised Shintaro.
"That's different. I'm sincere with Kurenai." Shintaro responded to Asuma's teasing with a smile.
Asuma was noncommittal and then asked, "How are you going to use this woman to get information?"
"Don't worry, watch my performance." Shintaro turned and said jokingly.
Sharingan's genjutsu was passed down in the Uchiha clan. Its effect was to confuse the enemy's mind and make them obey orders.
This illusion effect was very strong, but it also had significant limitations.
One was the timing, as the illusion could only last a few hours, and the second was that the content of the command could not contradict the user's will.
For example, Terumi is a Kirigakure ninja. If Shintaro wanted to command her to attack other Kirigakure ninjas, Terumi would wake up immediately.
This greatly limited the use of this illusion space.
However, Shintaro already had an idea.
He approached Terumi and softly said, "I am a spy sent to Konoha by Kirigakure."
Terumi's eyes cleared, but she still looked at him in confusion and murmured, "Are you... a spy?"
"Yes, I received information that Konoha is going to counterattack Kirigakure and that the main force will attack the eastern fortress. I hope you can relay this news back."
Terumi nodded and said, "I understand."
Shintaro withdrew his [Blue] control over Terumi.
The blue light disappeared, and since the suction power vanished instantly, Terumi had been using her own strength to resist [Blue], so she stumbled and fell into Shintaro's arms.
With a magnetic voice, Shintaro gently supported Terumi and slowly said, "Also, I have been hiding in Konoha for too long and don't know much about the current situation in Kirigakure. I hope you can provide me with a detailed copy of the information so that I can better serve the village. Don't let others know about this because my identity needs to be kept secret."
His tone was like someone trying to deceive a naive girl.
Terumi slightly nodded.
"Go on."
Terumi left just like that.
Asuma asked in confusion, "Why did you give her our information?"
"What information? That was clearly a smoke bomb created by Konoha."
A smile played at the corner of Shintaro's mouth as he watched Terumi's retreating figure and said.
Asuma's eyes widened, as if he had realized something, "I see..."
❀❀❀
Terumi returned to the fortress, and her previous teammates rushed up.
"Miss, you're finally back."
Terumi raised her hand and said, "If you're worried, we'll talk about it later. I want to see Ao. I have information."
She soon met Ao.
Ao was sitting in his office, stroking the eye patch over his right eye with one hand, leaning on the desk with the other, and asked, "What information do you have? Just tell me."
"Konoha is going to counterattack the fortress."
"What? Where did you get this information?"
The first thing Ao thought of when he got this information was to confirm whether it was true or false.
However, Terumi vaguely said, "It was revealed by a spy hidden in Konoha, who can guarantee that the information is true."
"A spy? Why haven't I heard that Konoha has our spy?" Ao was very confused.
"Could it be... that the Terumi Clan planted a secret spy in Konoha?" Ao offered a seemingly reasonable explanation.
However, he didn't fully believe it.
First of all, he had just led his troops to damage Konoha not long ago. Konoha should not have replenished its forces yet. With Konoha's overly stable behavior, it was highly unlikely Konoha would take the initiative to attack.
Secondly, even if it was true information brought by a spy from the Terumi Clan, why would a junior tell him?
In short, Ao doubted this information.
"I will verify this information. You can go down and rest first."
Ao waved his hand and said. Terumi then turned and walked out of the room.
Ao lifted his eyes at this moment, staring at Terumi's back with a sharp and doubtful look in his left eye.
"Something is wrong."
After Terumi left the office, she didn't return to her room but instead went to the data room.
"Miss."
The guard ninja happened to be from the Terumi Clan.
Terumi said, "I want to check the contents of the information."
The guard ninja let Terumi in without much thought.
Terumi began to search for information inside, looking for information about Kirigakure according to Shintaro's request.
"The number of ninjas, defense plans, route maps..."
She rummaged through the information one by one, carefully selecting the information she thought was useful to Shintaro and putting it on her body.
Terumi, controlled by genjutsu, naturally believed that her actions were helping Kirigakure, so she wouldn't have any strange emotions, and the genjutsu effect wouldn't disappear.
She acted as a spy without her knowledge.
After all the information was gathered, Terumi took everything and then left the data room as if nothing had happened.
"No problem, all the information is complete."
Terumi said to the guard, then turned to leave.
"Stop!"
A voice halted Terumi.
It was Ao. He quickly stepped forward, ignoring the information Terumi carried on her body, and asked, "The information should not be taken out of the data room without reason. Why are you carrying it with you?"
Terumi was not panicked at all. After all, she was providing information to Kirigakure's spy, not Konoha.
At this moment, Terumi would not rigidly follow Shintaro's request to keep it a secret.
Of course, Terumi meditated and said, "I am delivering the information to the Kirigakure spy hidden in Konoha. His identity is secret, so I can only convey the information secretly."
