Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 234 Before departure
Very straightforward words that clearly convey the truth.

It's not that Shibuki hadn't thought of it before, but he had deceived himself for a moment. After Menma pointed it out, Shibuki also remained silent.

indeed.

Just as Menma said.

He is the biggest risk, the biggest time bomb, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. This is definitely enough to attract the attention of the whole world. Once Menma's identity is exposed, Takigakure will immediately be pushed to the forefront. At that time, what difference will there be between having one more Yugao or one less Yugao?

Anyway, the Hidden Mist Village is so far away from their Takigakure Village. No matter where they come from, they must pass through the Land of Fire. It is impossible for a large number of Mist Ninja troops to come. In the end, they will still have to face the pressure from the surrounding countries.

There is absolutely no difference.

The thought of this.

Shibuki was relieved, nodded and said, "You are right, Menma-kun. We have no way out. We can only move forward. Although it is a little late and even strange to say this now, Menma-kun, I still want to say, can I really trust you? The kind of trust that is at all costs!"

Shibuki looked at Menma straight in the face with an unprecedented serious expression, and asked each and every question.

At that moment, it seemed as if all of Shibuki's mind was injected into it, and his hands hanging on both sides were clenched slightly.

"Of course, Shibuki-san, Takigakure is still my ninja village. I need Takigakure, and Takigakure must need me. I will not let you, or the deceased Elder Satoru, regret it. This is my promise!"

Menma looked back at Shibuki and said firmly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave it to you, Menma-kun."

After Shibuki took a deep look at Menma in front of him, he slowly nodded and said.

He wasn't sure whether his decision was correct.

But he and the Takigakure Village really have no way out, unless he is willing to self-destruct now and go directly to the Konohagakure Village to stab Menma in the back. But let's not talk about whether doing so will be successful. Even if it succeeds, not only will their Takigakure Village not get any benefits, but they will also have to risk bearing the wrath of Menma.

How powerful is the Nine-Tailed Fox when it bursts out with all its strength?

Shibuki had no idea. The only thing he was sure of was that it was definitely not a terrifying existence that the Takigakure Village could withstand.

Since we've already boarded the pirate ship, we can only go down this path till the end.

Besides, this road is not necessarily a dead end.

It could also be a smooth road!
"Yes, don't worry, Shibuki-san!"

Menma also nodded heavily.

Soon afterwards.

After discussing some issues regarding the barrier squad and the defense squad with Shibuki, Menma left the large government hall.

Shibuki looked at Menma's departing back, a hint of worry flashing in his pupils, but in just a moment, it was replaced by a look of determination.

"Grandpa Wu, please bless us and Takigakure Village!!!"

Destruction or prosperity.

There are only two possibilities left for the future of Takigakure Village!
Different from Shimu's mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

Menma's heart had never wavered. This was the path he had chosen, and there was nothing to regret or hesitate about.

If I really feel shaken.

It would have been impossible for him to choose to defect at that time.

Wouldn't it be better to stay in the Hidden Leaf Village?

The reason is that he wants to blaze a truly new path.

He felt that he had to live up to his own expectations. This was Menma's decision.

After leaving the government hall, Menma went straight back to the area where he lived, where there were already six figures waiting inside. In addition to Karin and Mizuki, there were four Taki ninjas, three men and one woman, all of whom were young people under the age of 20.

These four people are the ones who have performed the best in Menma's training over the past two months, and they are also the four people with the strongest chakra aura within Menma's perception range.

Although according to the standards of the five major ninja villages, they can only be barely considered as Chunin, but Menma believes that as long as they are trained properly, these four people may not be unable to grow into Jonin. Of course, it also depends on the efforts of the four people themselves.

Anyway, Menma has no shortage of training methods, especially at the technical level. At the very least, he still has Orochimaru to back him up.

Therefore, Menma decisively selected four people from the group of Takigakure ninjas and focused on training them. These were his first batch of cornerstone subordinates in Takigakure Village.

"I will be leaving the village soon. Shuiyue will be in charge of the affairs of the barrier class for the time being. If you four have any questions, you must report to Shuiyue immediately. The operation of the barrier will be the same as before. If there is anything else you need, just go and contact Ajun-san. Do you understand?"

Menma stood at the top, looking at Shuiyue and the others with a very serious look and said.

"Yes, Master Yifang, I will follow your orders!"

Several people, including Shuiyue, immediately bowed and responded.

"Ah, very good."

Menma also nodded in satisfaction.

After briefly explaining some details.

He simply waved his hand and let Shuiyue and the others leave.

"Kaorin, during the few days I'm away, please keep a close eye on Suigetsu. This guy is still in an unstable stage and needs more attention. If necessary, you can report to Shibuki-san. My absence this time is also a good test for him."

Looking at Shuiyue’s departing back.

Until the chakra aura completely disappeared.

Menma also turned his head and looked at Karin on the left and said.

This time when he leaves the ninja village, he is likely to encounter strong enemies. Karin and Mizuki, who are still very weak, are not suitable to be brought out, especially Karin. She is indeed outstanding in medical care and perception, but her actual combat power is nothing special. As for Mizuki, her strength is indeed close to that of a senior ninja.

But compared with the enemies we have to face, it is not enough.

Bringing Chunchun out would just be holding yourself back.

It’s better to save it.

"Well, no problem, don't worry about that, Menma!"

Xianglin also nodded heavily and replied.

"But are you going to set off now? Won't you make some more preparations?"

After a slight pause, Xianglin continued.

"Haha, of course not that fast. I still have to wait for the exact information from Orochimaru-san. Also, before I go out, I have to meet another person, or to be more precise, a beast."

Menma said with a slight smile.

"Ah? A person? A beast?"

A look of doubt appeared on Xianglin's face, and she asked subconsciously.

However, Menma didn't have any intention of explaining.

Instead, his gaze was directed towards the distant south, and his eyes became extremely deep at that moment.
