Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 196 The So-Called Intention
Menma really needs to create his own power.

Even though there will be many problems and disadvantages, and there may be a certain degree of potential sequelae, Menma can no longer care about these. He has no right to be picky, and appropriate retreat and concession is the wise choice.

Of course, there is a big premise here.

This force must belong to Menma alone.

Then no matter how big the remaining problems are, they can be solved.

Therefore, Orochimaru is a hurdle that cannot be avoided. Menma must confirm Orochimaru's attitude and thoughts. Whether it is dangerous or not is another matter, but at least he has to make preparations in advance, right?

You can never do things unilaterally on your own wishful thinking.

That will never work.

"Personnel assistance?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

The moment Menma said this, this snake uncle could more or less understand the deeper meaning behind Menma's words.

But this is also to be expected.

The relationship between them is indeed very special.

Make sense.

Orochimaru was already suppressing his instinct, the instinctive urge to dissect Menma. The strength that Menma had demonstrated time and again exceeded Orochimaru's highest psychological expectation. Otherwise, Orochimaru would have attacked Menma long ago.

But without complete, or at least 70% or 80% certainty.

Orochimaru wouldn't really do anything to Menma.

The Rinnegan and the Sharingan.

The art of sealing away corpses.

The chakra of the tailed beasts.

There is also some confidential information from the Akatsuki organization and the Hidden Leaf Village.

These things are obviously not something a 12-year-old boy should know. Orochimaru is really eager to analyze the secrets of Menma one by one. He has sufficient reason to believe that there is more and more important information in Menma's brain.

Even if it's just for this.

Orochimaru is willing to assist Menma.

Something unknown.

It will always be the most mysterious and most desired existence.

"Of course there is no problem. I still say the same thing. As long as you need something, I will do what I can."

Orochimaru said while looking at Menma with a 'sincere' expression.

"Then I would like to thank you Orochimaru-san. Now, I will excuse myself first."

Menma smiled.

Then he prepared to get up and leave.

"Oh, by the way, Orochimaru-san, the previous matter should have been settled, right? If possible, the influence of that technique should be resolved as soon as possible. I think this should be the most important thing for you, Orochimaru-san."

After taking the first step.

Menma seemed to have thought of something.

He turned his head and looked directly at Orochimaru's arms, which seemed to have returned to normal, and spoke with a slightly heavier tone.

"Oh? Well, I understand. Don't worry, Menma-kun. These are my own hands after all."

After being slightly startled, Orochimaru nodded and replied with a strange look on his face.

"That's best."

Menma raised his chin slightly, and after saying this, he strode away.

Looking at Menma going away.

Orochimaru's expression suddenly darkened.

This is like a sudden drop in temperature.

Feeling the chilly aura emanating from their 'big boss' on the main seat, Shuiyue in the seat below couldn't help but tremble.

"Is he angry? He is definitely angry? He dared to joke with Orochimaru's hands. He must be a ruthless person." At this moment, Suigetsu's "admiration" for Orochimaru was directly raised to the highest threshold.

Anyway, in Suigetsu's opinion, there is no one in this world more terrifying than Orochimaru.

Menma actually dared to face Orochimaru with such an attitude, combined with the information he heard before.

In Suigetsu's heart, Menma had also reached a very 'terrifying' level.

"Suiyue."

"Eh? Yes, Lord Orochimaru, what do you want?"

Suddenly I heard Orochimaru's shout.

Shuiyue shuddered instantly.

Then he quickly bowed and looked at his boss who was sitting in the main seat, and replied softly with a very cautious expression.

"You heard the conversation between Menma-kun and me just now, right? You will go to assist Menma-kun. I will also select a few other people to go with you. During this trip, everything will be subject to Menma-kun's orders. Remember?"

At this moment, Orochimaru's extremely weird snake eyes were instantly focused on Suigetsu Hozuki. The words he said made Suigetsu suddenly widen her eyes.

ha?
Nani?

Let him assist that 'terrible guy?'

isn't it?
At this moment, Shuiyue almost doubted her own ears.

"What? Are you having trouble? Shuiyue?"

Orochimaru seemed to be able to see through Suigetsu's heart. His body leaned forward slightly, and his words became even colder.

While Suigetsu's eyelids were twitching wildly, he immediately squeezed out an expression that was uglier than crying and said, "No, there is no problem, Lord Orochimaru, I will follow your orders."

"Well, that's fine."

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction.

Then he waved his hand.

Shuiyue went downstairs with an extremely depressed expression.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you really want to help Uzumaki Menma take control of the Takigakure Village? If you do that, there's a good chance he'll lose control."

After Shuiyue left.

In the shadow corner on the left.

Kabuto Yakushi stepped out from inside, looked at Orochimaru with a solemn look on his face and said.

Menma's intention.

It is almost as if Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone.

Not to mention Menma's own voluntary confession later, even the first action was known to Orochimaru's side.

As the Takigakure Village still ranks first among the five great ninja villages, its own strength is already quite strong. With the addition of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Kabuto Yakushi cannot imagine what level Menma will reach with the power of such a ninja village.

Of course, the difficulty is definitely at a ceiling level.

But what if?
As Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate.

Pharmacist Kabuto felt that he needed to give more reminders in this regard.

"Out of control? Kabuto, it seems you are mistaken. Menma-kun and I are in a cooperative relationship. How can there be control? Menma-kun can become stronger, isn't that a good thing? Konoha, Akatsuki, and other enemies, we need to face them together."

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Kabuto with a calm expression.

This is the words that are spoken.

This also made Pharmacist Kabuto stunned for a moment.

What the hell?

Did you really think that they were allies? Could it be that I guessed wrong?
That’s not right either.

There was also an obvious look of confusion in Yakushi Kabuto's eyes.

"There is no need to say more about this aspect of the problem. You can also tell Tayuya to bring a few people to go with Menma-kun when the time comes."
