Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 211 An Important Promise

It was also after Shibuki's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Menma also put away the smile on his face, looked at Mizuno Satoru with a touch of emotion, and said with a little helplessness: "I thought I was disguising myself very well, but I don't know where I got exposed. Did Elder Satoru see through me?"

"No, Yifang Jun has not been exposed. It's just my intuition before I die. I always feel that Yifang Jun doesn't look like Yifang Jun. He seems to be younger. And because of this, I think of other things. Haha, when you get old, you tend to think too much. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. In fact, Yifang Jun can continue to play the role. Why should he expose himself?"

Mizuno Satoru looked at Menma with a smile, and it was as if they were old friends meeting each other for many years.

Just as Mizuno Satoru said, many times, lies are not completely exposed at the beginning, but just one point of exposure will lead to a chain reaction.

Not to mention an old man like Mizuno Satoru who has extremely rich life experience.

“Haha, you’ve already been seen through, so why bother pretending? And I believe Elder Wu will still make the same judgment, right?”

Menma certainly didn't believe in this so-called intuition.

It must be that I gave myself away somewhere, which allowed others to see through my "false identity".

But it doesn't matter anymore.

From the moment Mizuno Satoru didn't expose himself in front of Shibuki, everything was destined.

Moreover, as mentioned before.

This is a dying man.

Menma doesn't need to worry too much, Shibuki is not this Elder Satoru.

"untie!"

Menma also immediately cancelled his transformation technique.

The boy who had returned to his original appearance.

When that red hair caught Mizuno Satoru's eyes.

"Who are you!?"

Although he was prepared, at this moment, Mizuno Satoru still widened his eyes. After all, in today's ninja world, Menma is also very famous.

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Son of the Fourth Hokage.

He also defected from the Hidden Leaf Village.

As one of the high-ranking officials of Takigakure Village, how could Mizuno Satoru not recognize him?

"I hope Elder Wu will forgive me for using this method. After all, you should be aware of my current situation and understand why I did this."

Menma said while looking at Mizuno Satoru with a peaceful expression.

"Is that so? You really are excellent, I... No, Menma-kun..."

A very shocked expression appeared on Mizuno Satoru's face. He had guessed Menma's identity countless times, but he never expected that the 'young man' in front of him would be a 12-year-old boy.

"If Shibuki could be half as smart, clever, and courageous as you, Ichika-kun, I wouldn't have to worry about anything."

Mizuno Satoru looked at Menma with a complicated expression, then shook his head and said with a very emotional tone.

It really is true that people are completely incomparable.

There is really no other candidate, and Shibuki's identity is quite special. Otherwise, Shibuki is really not suitable to be the leader of a ninja village.

Or for smaller ninja villages, such as the Hoshigakure Village or the Yugakure Village, Shibuki might be okay, but for a village like the Takigakure Village, which is already considered a T2 existence in the ninja world and has the tailed beasts, a person with Shibuki's personality is really not enough.

“Haha, Lord Shibuki has a kind character and is easily recognized and respected by many people. Elder Wu doesn’t need to worry too much.”

Menma said with a slight smile.

This is not exactly a compliment.

The personal charm of a leader depends on many aspects, although Shibuki is indeed still a long way from being an excellent leader.

But Shibuki has such a personality.

If it is in a peaceful era, in a harmonious ninja village, it is still possible to lead the people well. People still like this kind of gentle leader, of course, provided that there is no external threat.

Otherwise, human instinct will still drive them to follow stronger people who can protect them. This is the nature hidden deep in every human heart.

"Can Menma-kun protect the life of that child? Can he allow the Takigakure Village to continue to exist?" This is a sudden change in the style of the painting.

These are the words spoken by Mizuno Satoru.

This made Menma stunned.

But only a second later, Menma reacted: "I think you misunderstood, Elder Satoru. I do have some intentions towards Takigakure Village, but it is not what you are worried about. I am not here to destroy it, but for the future, Elder Satoru."

Heaven and earth conscience.

Menma really had no intention of killing Shibuki, or even destroying Takigakure Village. This was his favorite first 'base candidate'. Not to mention, if he wanted to infiltrate or even completely control Takigakure Village in the future, he would need Shibuki's cooperation.

Just like in the ancient country where Menma lived in his previous life, powerful ministers forced the emperor to abdicate, so it was best to ensure that the emperor could enjoy his old age in peace.

This is what a smart person does.

If you really kill them, the consequences will be extremely huge, unless you are strong enough to ignore all problems.

But on the one hand, Menma currently lacks such power, and on the other hand, Menma is not such a cruel person, and he does not think it is necessary to do so.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to transition peacefully?
When Mizuno Satoru heard Menma's words.

The worry in my heart finally relaxed.

Mizuno Satoru believed that he still had some vision of people, just like he had previously thought that hookah was completely unacceptable.

When Mizuno Satoru and Menma's eyes met, he could see the sincerity in Menma's pupils.

Of course, this could also be a disguise, but if that were the case, Mizuno Satoru could only accept his fate. Does he have any other choice?

the answer is negative.

He could only choose to believe Menma.

It is also about choosing to trust your intuition.

"Then I'll leave Takigakure Village in your care, Menma-kun."

Mizuno Satoru bowed slightly and spoke in a very serious tone.

Menma also had a solemn look on his face and bowed formally in return of the greeting.

"Please rest assured, Elder Wu, from now on, Takigakure Village will also be my ninja village."

Menma replied in a resounding voice.

Bigger and stronger.

This is Menma's expectation for Takigakure Village, and it is also Menma's own plan.

Therefore, Menma has absolutely no intention of deceiving Mizuno Satoru. If the Takigakure Village does not become stronger, it will be difficult to implement his plan. Even for his own sake, he will devote all his energy to the development of the Takigakure Village.

Therefore, there is only the question of whether Menma can do it, not the question of whether Menma will do it or not, or even whether he will deceive Mizuno Satoru.

This is fundamentally different.

"Then, Elder Wu, you should rest and recuperate. I will go and deal with the insects in the hookah with Lord Shibuki."

After Menma bowed again.

Then his figure flashed and he left the place directly.

And that was after Menma left.

Mizuno Satoru's eyes became noticeably unfocused, and he could feel his own vitality fading away at a very fast speed.

At this moment, it seemed extremely difficult to even move one's fingers.

'No, I can't die yet, I can't die yet, I have to hold on a little longer, please, let me hold on a little longer...'

Mizuno Satoru slowly closed his eyes, and his face seemed to become more haggard at that moment.

There seemed to be a faint aura of death entwined around his body.

The aura of this Elder Wu also became noticeably weaker.

It's like reaching the end of life.
