Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 241 An unexpected encounter

Because the failure of these people meant that they had completely lost the trace of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki - Yugao. Before, they had to rely on hanging behind these Mist Ninjas to barely lock on Yugao's position.

Now, there is a big question mark as to whether Yugao is still in the Land of Spring. Of course, what Kabuto Yakushi doesn't know is that it was precisely because of these trackers that the Mist Ninjas who were chasing Yugao temporarily gave up the pursuit of Yugao, resulting in a gap for a while.

Instead, it led to the Cloud Ninja's great battle with Yugao.

It was difficult for these Mist Ninjas to catch up in the first place. After all, at the beginning they had no idea who was following them, how many there were, or how strong they were. It was impossible for them to act separately. In their opinion, those who were able to search for their approximate location and dared to track them were most likely special forces from the other four major ninja villages. If they were not careful enough, they would easily be wiped out.

Therefore, there is a tug of time between the two.

The Anbu on the Konoha side arrived at the scene of the battle between the Cloud Ninja and Yugao one step earlier than the Mist Ninja.

Now we are directly entering into a three-party, or very likely a four-party, or even five-party melee mode.

"Is it now completely impossible to determine Yudaka-san's location? Kabuto-san?"

Menma, who was sitting on the side, looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a calm expression and said.

"I'm very sorry, Menma-kun. The person we were tracking has been discovered by the Mist Ninja. Now we can only rely on the last information to search. Why don't you wait for a day or two? When the people sent by Orochimaru arrive, I will definitely continue to find the location of that Yudaka-san in the shortest time possible!"

Yakushi Kabuto took a deep breath, forced a smile and responded in a deep voice to Menma's condescending gaze.

"Wait another day or two?"

Menma showed an expression of noncommittal on his face. Logically speaking, in the absence of accurate intelligence, the correct approach would be to temporarily abandon this operation and let Yakushi Kabuto further arrange personnel to collect information.

If we can learn Yugao's location again, we can take action.

If not.

It would be better for everyone to go back to their own homes.

After all, if I stay in the ninja world for too long, problems will easily arise. I am not sure whether I can withstand the Nine-Tails Chakra 100% at present. The Flying Thunder God Technique is still a theoretical understanding on paper and I have not really practiced it. The advanced training of the Rasengan Rinnegan has not been completed, and the bloodline potential of my Uzumaki clan has not been fully developed and tapped.

If you really encounter a particularly strong enemy, or a large number of enemies, the risk is still very high.

However, Yugao's existence still has great significance and role in Menma's next plan. The most direct point is the support in terms of combat power, not to mention other invisible benefits. Menma thinks to himself that with his current strength, there are still a few people in the ninja world who can defeat him, but it is extremely difficult to kill him or even capture him alive.

After just a short moment of thinking in my heart.

"Let's go. Don't wait any longer. Let's go straight to where we last learned of Yudaka-san's whereabouts and the place where he fought with the Mist Ninja. Let's search in person. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid this time our efforts will be in vain!"

Menma jumped down from the huge rock on the left and came directly to the side of Yakushi Kabuto, saying this with an unquestionable look.

"Ah? Menma-kun, is this possible?"

When Yakushi Kabuto heard Menma's words, he subconsciously wanted to refute him directly.

But he didn't finish his words.

"Let's go, Dou-san."

Menma simply waved his hand to interrupt Yakushi Kabuto's words.

"whoosh"

The chakra on the soles of the feet exploded.

Move quickly towards the east.

That was the location where Orochimaru last lost the information when he was tracking his subordinates. The specific location was still quite a distance away from where they were now. If they got there as soon as possible, they might be able to collect more information.

Menma won't allow himself to return empty-handed this time.

"this?"

Looking at Menma's figure that had already flashed away.

After his expression changed two or three times, Yakushi Kabuto could only move forward and follow closely.

Even without mentioning the order from his own Lord Orochimaru, just based on the dangerous aura faintly revealed in Menma's calm words just now, Kabuto Yakushi had to bite the bullet and follow Menma's lead.

Otherwise, Yakushi Kabuto really doubted whether Menma would be in a bad mood and directly chop him to death with a knife. Don't think that this is impossible.

How old is Menma!?
13!

Kabuto Yakushi thought it was normal for a teenager of this age to do anything.

Two people flying at high speed.

Along the way, there was no more stopping, just heading straight to the final position of the final badminton.

But it only took less than twenty minutes of galloping.

Suddenly.

In the northeast direction ahead.

Menma's vast perception suddenly detected a very powerful but very weak chakra aura.

"This feeling!? "

This is not a chakra that ordinary humans can possess.

It only took less than a second.

Menma could judge that the owner of the chakra aura that was rapidly approaching him was ninety-nine percent likely a Jinchūriki.

And this moment.

In the land of spring.

Who else could it be!?
It's almost certainly that Yudaka-san.

Of course, this Yudaka-san cannot sense Menma's presence, the difference between their perception levels is huge.

This is the distance range where Menma's perception radius is almost at its maximum.

"Huh? There are other people behind us? Are they the Mist Ninjas chasing us? But do they have the strength to seriously injure Yugao?"

After a short while, Menma further sensed another group of chakra auras coming from behind Yugao.

By connecting the past and the present, Menma can definitely make the most accurate judgment.

"Huh? Menma-kun? Why did you stop suddenly? Did you find something?"

Pharmacist Dou, who was following closely behind Menma, saw Menma suddenly stop and stay where he was, looking in a certain direction with a look of surprise on his face. He immediately guessed what Menma might have sensed.

The perception of facial numbness.

Pharmacist Kabuto has experienced this several times.

Lord Orochimaru has also said that Menma has perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and it is even possible that he is just like Lord Uzumaki Mito, and can sense the breath and chakra movements of all living things within an exaggerated range.

"Haha, it really is easy to get something without any effort. Once luck comes, it can't be stopped. Let's go, Dou-san, we can go meet this Yugao-san!"

Menma smiled softly, the amusement evident in his words.

"whoosh"

With a slight tap of his toes, he quickly changed his direction and flew towards the direction where Yu Gao came from.

"Um!?"

Pharmacist Dou was stunned for a moment.

He subconsciously took a step forward to catch up, but it took him a second or two to react, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Could such a coincidence really happen?!

A distance of ten to twenty kilometers may take an hour or two for an ordinary person to walk, but for a ninja, it can be covered in less than a few minutes.

And Yugao, who couldn't sense Menma before.

If Menma actively closes the distance, it will be possible to detect Menma's chakra fluctuations when he enters a certain range.

This is a situation where there are pursuers behind and blockades in front.

What's more important is the terrifying chakra fluctuations emitted by Menma.

This made Yu Gao's expression look uglier than ever before.

But this was obviously a very close distance, and it was impossible to avoid it. Yu Gao showed a rare look of determination.

Even if it means a fight to the death, he will never let those who are chasing him have an easy time!

But, the next second.

When Menma's handsome and childish face came into Yugao's sight, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was stunned for a second or two.

Anyone who is not blind can see that Menma is definitely just a teenager.

But such a huge chakra fluctuation.

At that moment, Yu Gao seemed a little unable to understand what was going on, but it only lasted for a few seconds.

Looking at Menma's red hair, the amount of chakra that is impossible for a human to possess, and his face that is too young.

Yugao was also able to react.

It immediately reminded me of the major event that happened last year that concerned the safety of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Although Yugao was a rebel ninja and did not have much free time, he had still heard about some important events related to Konoha, a top existence in the ninja world.

Not to mention the Sand Village and other ninja villages are also involved.

It would be strange if other people didn't know this news.

This is obviously a guessable identity.

"Haha, this one should be Yudaka-san. Nice to meet you. I'm Uzumaki Menma."

next second.

Menma also introduced himself with a smile.

"It's really the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Hear Menma's words.

Yu Gao's expression was also shocked instantly.

In such a situation, encountering this famous rebel ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, Yugao really couldn't describe his feelings at the moment.

Because it seemed that this Uzumaki Menma was coming for him.

"Uzumaki Menma, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? I wonder why you came here!"

Being hunted down and forced to seriously injure himself, Yu Gao was now like a wounded beast, facing everything with a hostile attitude.

Even though Menma doesn't seem to have any hostility now and looks very kind, Yugao still faces him with the utmost vigilance, not to mention that Yakushi Kabuto, who is standing next to Menma, doesn't look like a good person at all.

Be wary of Yugao.

Menma didn't care. If he was being chased and then a stranger suddenly appeared and stopped him, he would definitely be on high alert.

"Haha, of course I have something important to discuss with Yudaka-san. Of course, I won't do anything to coerce Yudaka-san. But let's not rush now. Let's get rid of the group of flies behind us, and then we can have a good talk."

Menma smiled softly, and then spoke.

Now Yu Gao naturally didn't believe a word of it, but when he said the second half of the sentence.

Yu Gao's heart couldn't help but shudder.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

next second.

In the direction where Yugao just arrived.

Four or five figures appeared again in a flash.

And when he saw the face of the leader, a hint of surprise appeared in Menma's pupils.

"They are actually Kumo Ninja!? And the leader is the future Fifth Raikage?"

The one chasing Yugao turned out to be a Kumo ninja.

Before seeing it with your own eyes.

Menma really didn't expect this.

There is no such plot in the original work, but considering the style of the Fourth Raikage, it seems very normal for such a thing to happen.

Didn't the Fourth Raikage want to obtain everything that could enhance the power of his own ninja village?!
No ninja village would have too many tailed beasts.

If the Sand Village had not been too poor to buy two tailed beasts, the Seven-Tails would never have fallen into the hands of the Takigakure Village.

The first Hokage's original intention was to keep the Nine-Tails for himself, and sell the other eight tailed beasts equally to the four major ninja villages.

In other words, the Hidden Cloud Village made a small profit. After all, the Eight-Tails is still obviously stronger than the other seven tailed beasts.

"Menma Uzumaki!?"

Darui in the opposite position also had his pupils shrink suddenly when he saw Menma. As a confidant of the Fourth Raikage and the recognized successor to the next Raikage in the Hidden Cloud Village, Darui knew all the information about the Ninja World, as long as it was learned by his own Ninja Village.

Menma Uzumaki is a tailed beast jinchūriki that his own Raikage is very eager to obtain.

Even if it was the first time Darui saw it, it was definitely very familiar.

"Why is this guy here?"

If he had met Menma in other situations, Darui would have been very happy because he could capture this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and bring him back, but now it was different. His side had suffered heavy losses. There was a Six-Tails Jinchuriki below, and now he was going to meet another Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

And there's Kabuto Yakushi, who's following closely behind Menma. He doesn't look like someone who can be easily dealt with.

"Leave those guys to me. Dou-san, please treat Yugao-san. Yugao-san, please wait for a moment. I have no ill intentions!"

Menma smiled softly, after saying the second half of his sentence to Yugao.

"boom!"

The chakra that was released directly.

Covered with the scarlet Nine-Tails Chakra coat.

"Whoosh!"

The figure is vertical.

He just rushed directly towards Darui and other Cloud Ninjas not far away.

Raging Chakra.

Violent posture.

It's just the simplest chakra coat.

But the aura exuded by Menma at this moment was enough to make Darui on the opposite side look tense.

He's not in his prime now.

In the previous battle with Yugao, he suffered some degree of damage, the most important of which was the consumption of chakra. Darui is not a humanoid tailed beast like Hoshigaki Kisame.

The chakra now is only one third of the total.

The three or four Cloud Ninjas around were all injured.

"Damn it, retreat!"

After a moment's weighing.

Darui also directly issued the order to retreat.

"Want to leave!? It's not that easy!"

"Psychic art!"

Menma smiled coldly, bit his finger, and pressed the air.

"puff!"

A huge puff of white smoke appeared out of nowhere.

next second.

A giant dark green lizard then appeared.

"Qitu, stop those guys!"

"Yes, Master Menma!"

Urushi, who was summoned by the spirit, immediately blocked the Cloud Ninjas' retreating route.

That huge body.

The terrifying aura emanating from his entire body.

Just a glance.

Darui could tell that the power of this summoned beast was definitely not much weaker than himself in his prime.

Even in a one-on-one fight in its most complete form, it is not an easy task for me to defeat this summoned beast.

Let alone now.

"Lightning escape - ground walking technique!"

"Lightning Release - Pseudo Darkness Technique!"

The two Cloud Ninjas in the front position also formed seals rapidly at the same time.

Thunder burst forth.

He also rushed directly towards the position of Lizard Lacquer.

"Boom!"

Thick and long thunder visible to the naked eye.

The lizard Lacquer Earth leaped forward and avoided one of the powerful attacks.

The same thing was the chakra that erupted afterwards.

The ground shook.

The ground was lifted up layer by layer, rolling towards the position of the Cloud Ninjas. Of course, due to the chakra attribute, they were restrained a little.

But there is a gap in strength.

The gap in the scale of the technique.

It is enough to make up for the gap brought by the chakra attribute restraint, and can even suppress the opponent.

The rolling rocks and soil came down like a huge wave.

While offsetting the lightning escape technique.

It also further forced Darui and several other Cloud Ninjas to change their positions.

It's just those crucial few seconds of blocking.

Menma had already approached the position in front of him.

"Ninja Technique—Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

The mark that was formed quickly.

"call out!"

Then he suddenly threw the shuriken out.

When the procedure is completed.

Hundreds and thousands of shadows appeared in the air.

In the covered area.

Almost all of those Kumogakure ninjas were included in this, and as Menma's power increased, his control over this technique became more and more proficient.

Whether it's speed or range.

Everything is completely different now!

"Earth escape technique - Earth formation wall technique."

In addition to Darui's quick reaction to dodge, there was also a Cloud Ninja who was quick in forming hand seals and had been less injured before, and he quickly formed hand seals, forming a wall in front of him that perfectly covered his body.

The remaining three Cloud Ninjas had no time to dodge.
