"What do you think of my plan?"
In Naruto's office, Watergate reported his plan to Sandaime.
The mission of sneaking into the Mist Village itself is extremely difficult. Before Minato, only one person in Konoha has succeeded in doing so.
So even if Watergate is strong, he has to report his plan to Sandaime and let him judge the feasibility of the plan.
"There is no problem, but how do you plan to enter the Mist Village after reaching the Water Country?"
Sandaime frowned slightly. The coastline of the Water Country is very long. Although the coast is heavily patrolled, it shouldn't be difficult for Watergate.
After entering the Water Country, the key is how to sneak into the Mist Village.
Even if he put the Flying Thunder God mark on the goods, it will be detected by the perceptive ninjas of the Mist Village.
And even if he can escape their perception, Watergate's position will be a big problem.
If he limits his range of movement, then it will be very difficult for him to collect information.
Watergate heard this and smiled: "This is not easy, but I am Jiraiya -sensei's disciple …"
Sandaime suddenly realized: "Oh, I almost forgot about Jiraiya."
Of course, he was slightly complaining about Jiraiya -sensei not returning to the village.
In terms of collecting information, Jiraiya decided to be Wood Leaf's number one ninja in the village.
Especially this time, the destination is the Mist Village. For Jiraiya and Watergate, who have signed a contract with the toads of Mount Myoboku, it is very simple.
"In this way, you just have to pay attention to your own safety, and as I said, your safety is the most important thing. How much information can be collected is only secondary."
Sandaime said again. Watergate's potential is not proportional to the value of information, so even if the mission fails, he wants him to return safely.
It's just that this is an infiltration mission, so he can't send more people, not to mention that Watergate is now the safest state.
"Yes!" Watergate nodded heavily.
...
In a forest, on a giant tree, there was a black circle pattern spreading out, and in a short time, it spread all over the tree.
At this time, the special mark in the circle was emitting light.
Whoosh!
There was a light sound in the air, and a thin figure suddenly flashed.
Looking at his face, he is Watergate, but he has changed into ordinary civilian clothes, and Watergate's clothes are a bit old.
These were the clothes that Watergate had found in his deceased parents' room. They were his father's old clothes.
Now his height is almost 170 centimeters, so he doesn't look short..
This was the Country of Iron. If he wanted to go to the Country of Water, he had to take the water route.
According to the information given by Sandaime, Wood Leaf's spies used to go to the Land of Water from the Land of Fire.
Because the Land of Iron is a samurai country, the investigation of ninjas is particularly strict. If Watergate didn't come here because of Fujiwara Takuji's business relationship and left a mark, he would choose to go from the Land of Fire.
He made a hand seal, and the various patterns on the trunk disappeared. Then Watergate took out some tools from his arms and changed his appearance.
Watergate learned this technique from Sho Sho before sneaking into the Sunagakure last time. Before this mission, he deliberately went to Sho Sho to practice it for a day.
Now his face looks about 25 or 26 years old, with a pale yellow complexion, as if he has been baptized by the wind and sun all year round.
Coupled with the old clothes on his body, there is no sense of disharmony.
"Hehe." Minato looked at himself in the mirror and chuckled.
Immediately, he rushed out of the forest and headed to the border of the Land of Iron.
With Watergate's speed, he arrived at the border of the Land of Iron after a day.
In a small town on the border of the Land of Iron, Watergate observed a little and noticed that a batch of goods would be transported from here to the Land of Water in three days.
The Land of Water is one of the five major ninja countries, second only to the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, but its territory is composed of large and small islands. Although it is rich in natural resources, the weather is humid all year round, and it is often full of fog.
That's how the Mist got its name.
This climate makes the Land of Water have a natural barrier, but it also causes an extreme shortage of materials.
As the only country that didn't participate in the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Water also blocked its coastline. Even after the war ended, the control of materials and personnel on the coastline is still very strict.
But after two days of observation, Minato didn't find any Kirigakure ninjas checking the goods and inspecting personnel.
The ones in charge of this are just some Samurai from the Land of Iron.
Immediately, in the early morning of the third day, Watergate left a mark on a box of goods that was being transported to the cargo ship.
When he saw the cargo ship set sail from the dock, the water gate hidden in the corner disappeared with a swoosh.
...
When Watergate appeared in the storage cabin, the place where he stood was only twice the width of his shoulders.
He had expected this, after all, this is the cabin where the goods are stored.
Watergate placed a small barrier with a diameter of only two meters here. This barrier doesn't restrict people from entering and exiting, nor does it restrict sound.
Its only function is that when Watergate enters here, people who don't have special eyes can't see him.
In this way, the long journey across the sea began.
During this period, the cargo ship passed by a small country called the Land of Wave. This is an island country with no ninjas or Samurai, completely isolated from the outside world.
Watergate once came here to perform a mission in his previous life. This country was very poor, and if he wanted to improve its economic situation, he must get in touch with the outside world.
There was only one way, and that was to build a bridge. However, this kind of bridge that can connect to other countries is very difficult, and the Land of Wave is a poor country, so they can't afford a famous architect to design a bridge.
This voyage was very long, more than a month.
During this time, Watergate rarely left his cabin.
He anticipated a lot of situations that he might encounter after entering the Mist Village.
Finally, the cargo ship finally docked and arrived at the territory of the Land of Water.
However, this doesn't mean that Watergate has arrived at his destination, because the Land of Water is composed of many islands, and what they arrived at is just a small island on the border.
However, when he arrived here, Watergate, who was still relaxed, began to feel nervous.
Because … he has sensed some Chakra fluctuations.
There is no doubt that it's the Mist ninja.
