Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 101 Undercurrent (Fourth Update)

Menma looked at the direction where Kabuto Yakushi left, and a solemn look appeared in his pupils. Then, he pushed open the door and returned to the room. Then, Menma came to the table and opened the scroll that Kabuto Yakushi threw to him.

The above is indeed an outline of the joint combat plan of the Sound Ninja and the Sand Ninja.

Including but not limited to the cooperation between Rasa and Orochimaru, Gaara's complete transformation into the tailed beast, and the timing of the surprise attack by the elite troops of the Sand Ninja and the Sound Ninja who are sneaking to the close position.

It can be said that this scroll completely records all the key points of Konoha's collapse plan.

"Have you really got me under your thumb? Orochimaru-san..."

A hint of murderous intent emerged between Mian Ma's brows, and he murmured softly in his heart.

An invitation that I didn't expect.

This was obviously beyond Menma's own plan.

Originally, he was planning to take advantage of the chaos to get away from the Hidden Leaf Village and sit back and watch the collapse of Konoha this time. Menma didn't care who would win or lose, including Orochimaru, because he wouldn't die that easily anyway. But now it seems that whether he is willing or not, he has to join this "feast".

"But it's okay, at least you can give me a good show before leaving."

Menma let out a breath, looked at the dark night outside the window, and clenched his right hand slightly.

At the same time.

In a hidden area some distance away from the Hidden Leaf Village.

Kabuto Yakushi, who had just left Menma, also appeared here directly.

He found a secluded entrance behind a pile of rocks with ease.

Pharmacist Kabuto stepped down without hesitation and came directly to the bottom floor.

In the innermost dim room with only an oil lamp hanging on it.

Orochimaru is doing his research very seriously.

There were various human organs and limbs randomly placed on the experimental table, and blood was splashed everywhere. If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would probably vomit bile out of fear. However, Kabuto Yakushi walked in with a calm look.

Such scenes had long been commonplace to Kabuto Yakushi in the past decade or so. After becoming Orochimaru's most capable assistant, he would see him once or twice every other day. The forbidden research on the human body was one of the core projects in all of Orochimaru's research.

In order to gain greater power, or even to obtain eternal life.

Studying humans with different physiques is one of the best ways for Orochimaru to explore all of this.

When Kabuto Yakushi entered the laboratory, he did not report immediately, because he knew very well that his master Orochimaru hated to be disturbed during experiments. At that moment, he walked directly to the opposite side of Orochimaru and did the work of an assistant very skillfully.

This experiment was completed one step at a time.

Wait until the final finishing work is completed.

Orochimaru picked up the towel beside him and casually wiped the blood off his face and hands. Then his narrow snake eyes looked directly at Kabuto Yakushi who was standing opposite him.

"Kou, how's it going? What's the result?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, the Sand Ninja have confirmed twice that they will cause the One-Tail to riot at the designated time. In terms of the deployment of troops, they have also promised to send thousands of elite troops to the corresponding locations at the designated time. However, they still doubt that we can guarantee that their troops can sneak into the suburbs of Konoha smoothly."

After a slight pause, Pharmacist Dou replied softly.

"Haha, the Sand Ninja are still the same. Their backbones were completely broken more than ten years ago. But it doesn't matter, as long as they can cooperate with the action. When appropriate, you can also reveal a little bit. When necessary, I will contact the Fourth Kazekage again."

Orochimaru smiled lightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his extremely weird eyes.

In the three Ninja World Wars, Sand Village was defeated three times. It was these repeated defeats that made Sand Village continue to weaken. When the five major ninja villages were just established, except for Konoha, which was the only one, the gap between the other four major ninja villages was not big.

They can basically be said to be on par with each other.

But now?

The Sand Village has completely become the bottom of the list.

As a former high-ranking member of Konoha and current 'ally' of the Sand Village, Orochimaru sees this point very clearly.

However, Orochimaru doesn't care about this at all. If it is a strong ally, it will be a troublesome thing for Orochimaru.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have gone to the Sand Village instead of the Kumogakure or the Iwagakure. After all, in terms of strength, these two ninja villages are the most suitable partners.

Especially the Hidden Cloud Village, which has shown a momentum of catching up and even surpassing the Hidden Leaf Village in recent years.

This is also one of the reasons why Orochimaru chose Sand Village.

Of course, at this time, Orochimaru had no idea that the Sand Ninja would be so spineless that the Fourth Kazekage would give up at the last minute even the plan that had been negotiated and prepared for several months.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Pharmacist Kabuto bowed and greeted.

"So, what about the other side? Has our ally also agreed to join the plan?"

Orochimaru rarely showed an expression that was even more serious than before and asked Kabuto Yakushi, as if in Orochimaru's eyes, the importance of his ally Menma was much more important than the Sand Ninja.

Of course, this is obviously also because of Menma's potential and the huge benefits he is likely to bring to Orochimaru.

If we only consider the Konoha collapse plan itself.

Unless Menma can now directly transform into a complete tailed beast, he will be able to completely overwhelm his ally, the Sand Village.

If it were just the previous combat performance.

One Menma is far from enough.

"As you expected, Lord Orochimaru, Menma-kun did not reject our invitation, but he still had some reservations."

"Huh? Keep it? Tell me about it."

"Yes"

Afterwards, Kabuto Yakushi briefly relayed his previous conversation with Menma to Orochimaru.

After listening.

"Haha, this is a very normal judgment. But as long as he is willing to join in, it is enough. In the plan at that time, let this Menma-kun act with you. Kabuto can just cover that area and show it in front of my beloved teacher. I can't wait to see what my Hokage teacher will look like at that time."

Orochimaru stretched out his tongue, licked his lips, and smiled coldly.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

The forces from all sides gathered together.

The undercurrent began to surge.

The Hidden Leaf Village, which has enjoyed peace for more than a decade, is about to face its own disaster once again.
