Infiltration

"Damn it, they're taking advantage of my lack of practical experience," he thought dejectedly. "I should have found a chance to drive around in a high-end club before I transmigrated."

Coming to his senses, Shuichi asked, "What exactly happened? How many days have you been impersonating this female ninja?"

"This Natsuki must have grown up in Sunagakure, and you know so much about her... could it be because of her corpse...?"

Hyuga Akiha and Aburame Shihei were shocked upon hearing this, realizing that Mokui might have been studying living people or beautiful female corpses for many days, and a chill ran through them.

"Don't talk nonsense." Mokui considered himself a perfectly normal man, how could he allow Shuichi to ruin his reputation? "She's a pawn planted by our Konoha Anbu many years ago, and her personality traits are recorded in detail."

"The village received advance warning of the Third Kazekage's possible disappearance and began operations months in advance. This time, in order to gather detailed intelligence on the Sunagakure's military strength, many people were sacrificed to successfully replace me."

"If I had known you were capable, developing a strategy centered around you might have been more effective."

After Shuichi Yi's expression turned serious. "There's no other way. You acted too early, and only a few people know about my abilities. As long as they aren't exposed, they might be very useful in the future."

Due to the urgency of the situation within the Sunagakure's territory, the group quickly exchanged the information they had.

According to Mokui, although he practiced for a long time to play the role of Natsuki, he was still different from the real person. In his opinion, Iketani was the ultimate simp, and he had been under a lot of pressure these past few days.

Fearing that fighting in the camp would attract attention, he lured Kawakami a fight, knowing that Iketani would be Sunagakure, allowing Mokui to join the new team and advance to the front lines.

"I followed the scent of Mokui here," said Aburame Shihei, who had been teammates with you for many years and could never forget it. "I didn't notice you inside the camp, but I sensed you as soon as you ran out."

"So what do we do now?"

"It's simple." Shuichi's Shadow Clone brought the unconscious Kawakami. "Sunagakure will be sending a large number of people to the front-line bases tomorrow. This is a golden opportunity."

"Now we've replaced all three members of this team, and they can go explore the enemy camp and fish in troubled waters on the battlefield."

Sunagakure would never have imagined that one of their teams would secretly sneak out of the camp to deliver goods, only to return as Konoha Squad disguised as Sunagakure.

Shuichi relayed the situation to Orochimaru, and then used his Genjutsu to interrogate Kawakami, striving to maintain a flawless disguise.

"Since we share the same goal, I'll temporarily join your team!" Mokui pulled out two more soft balls from somewhere and stuffed them back into his chest, transforming into Natsuki. "Just in case, I happen to have spares with me. They're a little smaller, but the feel is still there."

The three Shuichi's squad looked at him with strange eyes, but he remained calm. "Don't look at me like that. There are quite a few other students from Natsuki 'Ninja Academy who are also leaving tomorrow. I'll need to deal with them then."

"Furthermore, after the practice just now, I believe my skills are more refined. When we reach the Sunagakure's front-line camp, using the same method again might create an opportunity for interrogation."

"..."

Next, Mokui really played a big role. After Aburame Shihei transformed into the Green-haired Iketani, he couldn't imitate his personality at all. He could only make an excuse to hide in the camp, and his girlfriend "Natsuki" would send away the friends who came looking for him.

Shuichi continues to impersonate Kawakami, posing Chunin Captain, while Hyuga Akiha uses her Byakugan to provide support from outside.

The next day, the "Sunagakure squad" received orders to support the front lines without needing to escort supplies, which made them feel quite lucky.

They immediately ran out of the camp and headed towards their target location, stopping at a secluded spot along the way.

"Orders and intelligence have arrived." After summoning a snake, Shuichi immediately opened the Scroll inside its mouth.

Because Genjutsu interrogation takes a lot of time, the unconscious Kawakami was transferred to the Konoha base by Shuichi, where the Yamanaka Clan conducted a memory search.

The information being sent now includes Orochimaru's latest orders and some secrets of Sunagakure, to ensure that Shuichi's disguise will not give him away.

What is the current situation at the front?

"Sunagakure's tactics are very reasonable," Shuichi deep voice. "The enemy also knows that holding onto strongholds is very passive, so they launched a large-scale attack to control the central region of the Land of Rivers. There are at least several thousand ninjas in the combat zone now..."

"As expected." Mokui said expressionlessly, "Should we continue with the infiltration mission?"

"Of course, the mission strategy is much clearer now. Everyone, look over here..."

A few hours later, Shuichi's squad, which had been rushing in, arrived directly at the Sunagakure front camp. A hundred miles further east was the Southern Sichuan Ridge battlefield, where many battles had taken place before, and the fighting there was currently very intense.

"It seems the Sunagakure chose a good location beforehand; it was probably planned long in advance before the invasion." Shuichi pair of binoculars and conducted a preliminary reconnaissance.

This forward base consists of several well-spaced areas. The central area should house several important departments, while the surrounding areas are where the main forces (cannon fodder) are stationed, generally consisting of Chunin paired with several Genin.

"It's about time. The regular squad should be arriving soon." The four rested at their hideout for about two hours because their speed far exceeded that of Genin, and arriving too early would arouse suspicion.

At this point, the person impersonating Iketani in the team was replaced by Hyuga Akiha, Aburame Shihei placed a female insect on Shuichi to facilitate communication. The remaining three went straight to the Sand Village stronghold to report.

"Kawakami Squad? You arrived relatively quickly." The speaker was a ninja from the camp's mission department; his expression was serious, and he seemed very dedicated and responsible.

"The village is currently facing a severe manpower shortage, so we'll depart in three hours to carry out our first mission. Logistics supplies can be delivered to..."

Shuichi, disguised Kawakami, remained expressionless, but inwardly astonished by the ferocity of Konoha's offensive. "Yes, sir!"

After receiving his mission and returning to his assigned room, he immediately said softly, "Akiha, we can get started now; time is tight."

"Byakugan, open!"

Shuichi and Mokui were on high alert, as they were now deep in enemy territory. If they were to be exposed, they would be surrounded and killed.

"Currently, Sunagakure has fewer than a thousand members, most of whom are not very strong," Akiha quickly reported. "However, there are about ten Jonin at the central command, and a man with an extremely large amount of chakra; he is very likely the Fourth Kazekage Rasa."

Didn't you find Chiyo?

Shuichi wasn't surprised to Rasa there; instead, he was more concerned about Chiyo's location, as this was crucial information that Konoha wanted to obtain.

"No, I specifically observed two unusual areas in the center. They should be where the Puppet Squad and Medical Units are located; there aren't many ninjas there."

This intelligence was immediately recorded: [Chiyo is very likely at the Southern base, with Rasa in command...]

This assertion is not without basis. In the large-scale battle between Konoha and Sunagakure, Tsunade and Chiyo's game of poison could very well influence the outcome of the main battle. Currently, many Konoha Ninjas are suffering greatly from Sunagakure's poison.
