Whoosh!
When Watergate suddenly appeared in Jiraiya's tent, the latter looked at him and asked directly.
"Kid, what have you been doing for half a day?"
Jiraiya wasn't surprised by Watergate's Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
"Just a little bit of preparation, it's not necessarily useful."
Watergate smiled, he didn't hide anything from his Sensei, and immediately said: "I placed a dozen perception barriers on the border of the Land of Grass."
"Perception barrier?"
Jiraiya froze for a moment, then his eyes trembled as he looked at the map on the table and murmured, "Are you suspecting that the Rock might launch a feint attack on the main battlefield, but their real intention is to send a team to bypass the main battlefield and directly cross the Land of Grass and enter the Land of Fire?"
"We can't rule out this possibility."
Minato said. In his previous life, during the Shinobi World War, the Rock Shinobi used this method in the middle and late stages of the war, and they almost reached Konoha.
That's why Sandaime Naruto sent him and Kakashi's team to carry out the Kannabi Bridge mission to destroy the Rock's supply line in the Land of Grass.
"But it's not easy to carry out this plan under our nose. We have 1,500 Ninjas on our side, the number is comparable to the number of Rock Ninjas in the Land of Grass."
"This strategy of directly bypassing the front battlefield requires a large number of Rock Ninjas to lead the team, but in a frontal battle, the Rock will suffer."
Jiraiya analyzed, and then he thought of something. He raised his eyes and looked at Minato, and the two said at the same time.
"Unless … the Rock Ninjas gather on the front battlefield at once, and their strength far exceeds our camp's!"
The master and apprentice looked at each other, and their eyes flashed.
If the enemy they are confronting is Sunagakure, then this plan is impossible to implement.
But at this moment, they are facing the Rock Ninjas.
Among the five major ninja clans, the number of Ninjas is the closest to Wood Leaf, and even more than Wood Leaf, only the Rock Ninjas have more.
"If that's the case, even if you put a lot of perception barriers on the border of the Land of Grass, I'm afraid you can't completely intercept the enemy."
"We must report this to the village, and we must take precautions in advance."
Jiraiya said. With Minato's perception enchantments, it's impossible to cover the entire defense line of the Land of Grass.
The power in his hands is used to fight the Rock Ninjas, and even if he sends a small number of Ninjas, it's useless.
"It's useless. The border of the Fire Country is too long. Based on the strength that the village can mobilize, it's impossible to intercept them."
"Moreover, even if we intercept and wipe out the Rock Ninjas who entered the Land of Fire, our losses will be extremely heavy. In this way, if there are changes in other battlefields, we will be really stretched, and we won't be able to come up with anything."
Watergate said, if the Rock Ninjas do this, it will be really fatal for the current Wood Leaf.
Jiraiya frowned, how could he not think of what Watergate said, but other than that, he has no other way to implement it.
However, he didn't panic, and looked at Watergate and said, "Since you have foreseen this, you must have a way to solve it, right?"
Jiraiya chuckled, even he can't fully understand his disciple, but he knows very well that Watergate won't do useless things.
Watergate shrugged and said, "This time, I can't do anything."
Hearing this, the former's face slightly changed. Watergate immediately added, "I don't have a way, but there is one person who has a way."
Jiraiya was slightly startled, and then blurted out, "You mean, Zhiwei?"
"Yes."
Watergate nodded and said, "We just need to wait for Zhiwei's news, he will come back with good news."
"That's the only way."
Although Jiraiya was anxious, but for now, he can only trust his disciple's judgment.
Since the Sandaime sent him as reinforcement, he naturally has his own considerations.
— —
Jiraiya waited anxiously, about ten hours later, Zhiwei, who left the main force alone, finally came back.
When he walked into the tent, Jiraiya looked at him with a very urgent look.
This made the expressionless Zhiwei slightly raised his eyebrows.
"You've worked hard." Watergate immediately said to dissolve the subtle atmosphere.
"What's the situation?" He asked.
Zhiwei recovered his composure and went straight to the point, "There are a large number of Rock Ninjas on the border of the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth. After a rough investigation, I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand of them."
"Sure enough." Jiraiya and Watergate both said.
In addition to the 1,500 Rock Shinobis they are facing, the number of Rock Shinobis they are facing is at least 2,500 Rock Shinobis.
Even for a village like the Rock Ninjas, this is a very important force.
"Moreover, until I came back, the number of Ninjas was still increasing." Zhiwei continued, and his tone changed a little.
After all, this is almost twice their strength, and the pressure on the Rock Ninjas' side is very heavy.
"How do you know all this?"
Jiraiya was quite curious, how did Zhiwei pass through the Rock Ninjas' defensive line in such a short time and find out all this information?
Moreover, his information seems to be constantly updated.
"My bug told me." Zhiwei replied.
"Bug?"
Jiraiya was startled. The Aburame Clan was indeed a powerful clan in controlling insects. But this time, the distance of the detection was too far. As far as he knew, even the Aburame Clan's Clan Leader couldn't do it.
"Sensei, believe in Zhiwei, since he said it, then it can't be wrong." Watergate smiled. Jiraiya, who was still in disbelief, nodded.
"You did more than that, right?" Watergate looked at Zhiwei and chuckled.
Hearing this, Zhiwei's face changed a little, then he nodded and said, "Yes, I also placed parasites on the Rock Ninjas stationed in the Land of Grass as well as a dozen Tokubetsu Jonins and above on the border of the Land of Earth."
"As expected of you."
Watergate said. Obviously, after seeing the large number of Ninjas gathered by the Rock Ninjas, Zhiwei was able to predict the direction of the war.
On the other side, Jiraiya was shocked, although Zhiwei said it calmly, but … if he can really do this, then Zhiwei will have an extraordinary meaning for the war against the Rock, and even for Wood Leaf in the 3rd Shinobi World War.
This is simply incredible.
Zhiwei in front of him is obviously about the same age as Watergate.
Watergate smiled and nodded, then turned to Jiraiya and said, "Sensei, in this way, you can lead the army to meet the attack of the Rock Ninjas."
"As for those sneaky flies, leave it to me and Zhiwei to clean them up, that's enough."
Jiraiya was about to say something, but thinking of Watergate's actions in the Sand and Kumo Shinobu's battlefield, he immediately nodded.
