Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 156 Focused Sights (Part )
This is obviously a situation that can only be suppressed by force.

The entire ninja world was still maintaining its previous "peaceful" situation in this strange place, which made those well-informed small and medium-sized ninja villages breathe a sigh of relief. The outbreak of the Ninja World War had always only brought disadvantages but no advantages to these small ninja villages.

If you are not careful, you will be directly involved in the war between the two major ninja villages. That would be the most unfortunate thing, because even choosing a side is an extremely brain-burning and life-threatening question, and you have no idea what choice you should make.

Now that we can see that the situation has stabilized, these people are most happy.

But it was also because the Ninja World War did not break out.

The focus on Menma became more intense. Konoha could no longer take advantage of other things, so how could they let go of Menma, a living Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! ?
This further added personnel.

It can be said that during this period of time, from the Land of Fire to the Land of Fields, and then to the surrounding areas, it was filled with investigators from ninja villages in various countries, including many elite jonin.

In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage Ai even sent his most proud assistant, Darui, to personally lead the team to find Menma. In the eyes of the Fourth Raikage Ai, even if a 12-year-old Menma could use the Nine-Tails' chakra, what could he do! ?

Darui, who is currently considered one of the top figures in the Hidden Cloud Village, with the most elite troops, will definitely be able to bring Menma back as long as his location can be locked.

Besides, at worst I can just do it myself when the time comes!

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

The Fourth Raikage was determined to win.

However, these disturbances in the outside world have no effect on Menma for the time being. After he has dealt with the first matter of summoning ninja beasts and gone to Takigakure to make the first test.

Menma took Karin directly back to Otogakure Village.

This trip only took two or three days. When Menma came back, Orochimaru had probably just arrived near Tansho Street in the Land of Fire and had contact with Tsunade.

Menma didn't ask any more questions, but returned to his previous experimental rhythm.

If he could make a breakthrough in physical experiments in the shortest possible time, or to be more precise, fully understand all the experimental research that Orochimaru gave him, he could then proceed to the next experiment, which was to use himself as the experimental material to develop his physical strength.

Menma currently has no idea to what extent his Uzumaki clan's bloodline can be developed.

But as long as there is a slight possibility, Menma will give it his all.

Everything in the universe.

This is Menma's ultimate goal.

But the first and most realistic thing to be solved is one's own physical strength. As for the mental problems, they will be left for later. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

You need to have a sense of urgency, but you must not act recklessly.

Just as Menma calmed down and entered into his own experimental rhythm, the Yinyin Village began the final preparations for moving away.

This was also the order Orochimaru gave before leaving.

Now that the Otogakure Village has been exposed, it can no longer continue to exist openly. After all, the Land of Rice is too close to the Land of Fire.

Once Konoha has time, even if it is just to consider practical issues, it will definitely attack the Otogakure Village. After all, this is the force that Orochimaru has spent more than ten years of energy to build up. If it can be preserved, Orochimaru will not give it up easily.

Even though hundreds of Sound Ninja were lost in Konoha.

There are still hundreds of ninjas in the Yinyin Village. There are almost no jonin among them, but the number of chunin is still considerable. Almost all of them are devoted to Orochimaru. In their opinion, it is Orochimaru who gives them everything, and most of them are willing to die for Orochimaru. Therefore, the power that these people can burst out is not low.

Orochimaru must make full use of it.

And that was just after the final relocation preparations for Otogakure Village were completed.

Orochimaru returned here with Kabuto Yakushi in a very embarrassed state.

Meeting again after many days.

"Hehe, it looks like Orochimaru-san's trip wasn't going well."

Looking at the seemingly calm Orochimaru, Menma smiled gently, crossed his hands in front of him, and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Menma-kun, but I was mentally prepared. After all, Tsunade is also Sarutobi's disciple and the granddaughter of the First Hokage. Oh, Menma-kun may not know this news, but Tsunade has decided to return to Konoha to serve as the Fifth Hokage. And this time, I also met Naruto-kun."

Orochimaru had a nonchalant expression on his face and spoke in the same calm tone.

"Godaime? This is predictable. The person who can be the Hokage is either Jiraiya or Tsunade. It can't be that Shimura Danzo."

Menma said with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"As for Naruto, Orochimaru-san, you don't need to test me. Naruto is Naruto, and I am me. I no longer have any expectations for that little brother. He is just like Jiraiya, an extremely stupid guy."

It's not a lie, and there is no unnecessary emotional fluctuation.

To Menma, Naruto is now just a stranger. If he doesn't block his way, then everything will be fine. But if he really blocks his way, Menma will not show mercy. He will no longer look at people in this life through the filter of his previous life.

It all depends on each other's choice.

This is the most reasonable and correct approach.

Orochimaru, who has extremely rich life experience, can of course see that Menma has no disguise at all. While he feels relieved, he also feels a little regretful.

After all, if you really have something to worry about, there will certainly be some different troubles, but there are also things worth taking advantage of.

"Hehe, Menma-kun misunderstood. I just wanted to tell you that Naruto-kun seems to still be obsessed with Menma-kun, and Menma-kun needs to pay a little attention to this aspect."

Orochimaru said softly.

"Well, thank you Orochimaru-san for the reminder."

Menma said calmly.

"However, Orochimaru-san came to see me right after returning. It shouldn't be just to say these words, right? If there is anything, just say it directly, Orochimaru-san. There shouldn't be a need for this between us, right?"

After a slight pause, Menma continued.

"Well, I do have something that I need Menma-kun's help with. After all, there are a lot of things that need to be done recently, and the manpower is not very sufficient. I don't know if Menma-kun is willing to help. Of course, I won't let Menma-kun help in vain."

Orochimaru's snake eyes narrowed slightly, looking directly at Menma, and spoke in that familiar hoarse voice.
