Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 143: Movements on the Other Side
"Haha, there's no need to be so anxious. It's getting late today. Let's rest in a nearby town for a night. It won't be too late for us to set off tomorrow. Besides, we also need to collect some intelligence. The ninja world is not peaceful right now."

Menma smiled and shook his head, looking at the Hidden Leaf Village far in the southeast, and then spoke with a solemn look.

With the help of Orochimaru's platform.

During the few days in the Land of Rice, Menma had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the outside world's intelligence. Orochimaru did not deliberately restrict the inflow of information to Menma in this regard, which seemed completely meaningless to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru even thinks that letting Menma know more about the current dangerous situation in the ninja world will be more beneficial to increase his side's bargaining chips. After all, Menma is alone, and with the eyes of the entire ninja world focused on him, Orochimaru believes that Menma will rely more and more on himself.

This was a blatant conspiracy by Orochimaru.

Menma is of course aware of this, but he is destined not to do as Orochimaru wishes.

Because in Menma's plan, these people, these forces, these groups, are all thresholds that he needs to face and cross. How could he possibly succumb to this? If this were the case, there would be no need to choose to leave Konoha in the first place.

The current situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more dangerous, just as mentioned before. Although some plots are still the same as before, Menma's own defection has obviously led to a completely different development.

Menma has no way of predicting whether a new round of Ninja World War will break out among the five major countries. He can only make a judgment based on the current situation. Every step needs to be taken more cautiously.

"Let's go, Karin."

"Ok!"

The figure is vertical.

Menma also took Karin and headed towards a town in the northeast.

Silent all night.

After resting for a night in this small southeastern town in Takikuni.

The next morning.

When the first ray of morning light shone above the earth, Menma woke up early and used the art of transformation to enter the town. Menma had no fear of his identity being exposed and could enter and exit public and underground places at will.

Gathered as much useful information as possible.

Although this method does not allow Menma to collect very detailed and comprehensive information, some basic intelligence can still be obtained.

For example, the movements of large forces of Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja are the easiest information to obtain. After all, it is not a small number of troops transferring, but a large force of at least a thousand ninjas.

Ordinary intelligence dealers can still accurately obtain this level of information.

After confirming that there was no further conflict among the three major ninja villages, Menma felt a little disappointed.

Perhaps it was because Konoha's overt and covert responses were timely and correct, or perhaps it was because of its past prestige and foundation that other ninja villages were still cautious, and the large forces of the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja simply gathered at the border and did not take any further action.

Honestly.

This was not what Menma wanted to see.

No matter it is the complete revenge on Konoha in the future, or the realization of another ambition in his heart, the renewed war among these major ninja villages is the development that best meets Menma's expectations. He wants to see the five major ninja villages weakened more than the Akatsuki organization and Obito and others.

Rather than continuing the confrontation in peace.

But if they didn't start a war, Menma couldn't do anything. He couldn't go and provoke the five major ninja villages, could he? He was already walking on a tightrope. If he wasn't careful, he would be in trouble. How could he ask for trouble?

Not to mention, he is now a hot commodity in the eyes of all the major ninja villages. Konoha is determined to capture him. The Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, the two ninja villages second only to Konoha in strength, will definitely try every means to get him. Nine-Tails!

This is a temptation that no ninja village that aspires to hegemony in the ninja world can resist.

Menma had no doubt that there must be tracking teams from various major ninja villages searching for his exact location throughout the ninja world.

Everyone wants to get the first-hand advantage.

So, before I become completely strong.

When facing any ninja village, Menma must think twice before acting and use his cautious attribute to the extreme.

Even in the Konoha collapse plan, Menma was able to actively restrain himself, let alone now. Moreover, Menma had anticipated such a situation in the ninja world from the very beginning. It is impossible for a ninja world war to break out so easily. It is like clapping; one hand cannot make a sound.

Therefore, Menma quickly adjusted his mentality.

After further confirming the current situation in the ninja world.

Menma felt a little relieved and took Karin northward towards the location of the Takigakure Village.

The Takigakure Village is home to the Nanabi.

Therefore, even though it has been declining over the years, it still holds a very important position in the ninja world.

The five major ninja villages are unwilling to attack Takigakure easily. The five major nations are most aware of how destructive the power of a tailed beast is. It's not that the current Takigakure is really that threatening, but the five major nations are unwilling to see Takigakure join the camp of their hostile ninja villages because of their pressure.

That would be the worst possible scenario.

The reason why Menma chose to come to this ninja village at this point in time was to explore the way and make some foreshadowing for his next plan.

As mentioned before, if Menma wants to have his own power in a short period of time, the most direct and effective way is to occupy the nest of another. Among the several small ninja villages, Takigakure Village has the most potential and is the most controllable.

The potential comes from the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki—Fu and the legendary Hero's Water that can increase the ninja's chakra dozens of times. The controllability comes from the fact that the current leader of Takigakure Village is a very young person.

Detailed original plot and character settings.

Menma didn't remember it clearly, but he had some impression of the cowardly character of the young leader of Takigakure Village.

Compared to fighting with those old foxes, Menma is very happy to communicate with young people like this.

Because being young means having 'unlimited possibilities'.

Well, to put it bluntly, it's easy to fool people.

"Eh? Is Takigakure Village here? Menma? Are you sure!?"

Outside of Takigakure Village, looking at the magnificent waterfall in front of them, Karin asked Menma with an incredible expression on her face.

"Yes, it is in here, and I just confirmed in the surrounding villages that this is the location of Takigakure Village."

Menma said, smiling and nodding.

No matter how hidden a ninja village is, its location will eventually be known to the world. After all, ninjas need to accept missions to get paid. If you can't even find the location of a ninja village, how can an employer give you a mission! ?
