Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 253 Attitudes of All Parties
Therefore, from this point of view, Menma is absolutely unwilling to see Sasuke go down the path in the original work again, and even more unwilling to see Sasuke being fooled by Uchiha Itachi. In this life, Sasuke can only be Menma Uzumaki's most steadfast companion.

This is the prepared combat power ceiling!

If my plan really cannot be carried out smoothly to the end.

Sasuke will be one of his greatest supporters when facing any enemy in the future.

To do this, Menma must gain Sasuke's approval and trust.

The truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan is the crucial first step.

"Yeah, I understand."

Although he really wanted to know all the information right now, after looking at Kabuto Yakushi who was approaching, Sasuke took a deep breath, nodded slowly and replied.

This is definitely not the right occasion and time.

That is an important issue concerning their Uchiha clan!
"Father, mother, I will definitely find out the truth. If that is the case, Konoha and Itachi, you all have to wait for me!"

Sasuke clenched his hands tightly and thought fiercely in his heart.

"Haha, you are really worthy of being called Menma-kun. Even the famous Jiraiya-sama is not your opponent. You can exert the power of the Nine-Tails to this extent. When you can fully transform into a tailed beast, Menma-kun will probably become the number one in the ninja world, right?!"

Yakushi Kabuto complimented with a seemingly humble smile.

"Haha, when did Dou-san become so good at saying nice things? You almost made me feel proud. The number one in the ninja world? Haha..."

Menma narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled in a mocking tone.

This cold atmosphere slowly spread out.

This made Yakushi Kabuto's expression change slightly.

Heaven and earth conscience.

What I just said was purely a subconscious compliment, without any tentative or other intentions.

Kabuto Yakushi can now truly understand what his master Orochimaru had said before.

This Uzumaki Menma-kun really doesn't look like a teenager in his early teens, although he does look very immature in some places, not steady enough, and obviously lacks experience.

But it is definitely not something that can be fooled.

Some tricks should not be used in front of him, as it will only make you laugh and easily arouse Menma's hostility.

"Okay, let's not waste any more time on small talk. That side should have been cleaned up by now. We have been dragging on here for too long. It's time for us to leave. Otherwise, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble."

Seeing that Yakushi Kabuto seemed about to explain something, Menma waved his hand in advance and said.

After Jiraiya decided to retreat, those Root people saw that the situation was not good and chose to retreat one after another. However, only two or three people were able to escape successfully. The rest of the Root people, including Ryoma Aburame who had long been targeted by Kabuto Yakushi, all ended up either dead or captured.

That is, just a short period of time.

The remaining roots were also cleared away.

The only one, Ryoma Aburame, has a special identity, so Kabuto Yakushi deliberately spared his life. Bringing this kind of guy back still has certain value and use.

"Ah."

Following from that.

The group simply cleaned up the battlefield.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

They leaped up and quickly left their original places, heading towards the northwest, where they were going to board a ship and leave the Kingdom of Spring.

And it was more than two hours after this special encounter ended, in the east direction.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Several figures flashed over. Their clothes were different from the standard attire of Konoha's Anbu. The four water-like forehead guards on their foreheads were enough to prove that these people were from the special hunting force of the Hidden Mist Village.

Moreover, the Mist Ninja who appeared in the Spring Country at this moment was the special force that had been tracking the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao for a long time.

Previously, because the trackers sent by Orochimaru exposed their traces, they were discovered by these Mist Ninjas. After a great battle, they temporarily lost sight of Yugao. It was not a big deal, but for two or three days in a row, they could not find any trace of Yugao.

Instead, they searched for the traces of other ninjas one after another, and even discovered traces of ninjas from unknown ninja villages fighting with Yugao.

Naturally, these Mist Ninjas became nervous instantly.

But unfortunately, if you are slow in one step, all steps will be slow.

When these Mist Ninjas arrived at the scene of the final battle, both sides had already left. After scouting the surroundings, they still found nothing.

The expression of the leading Mist Ninja became uglier than ever before.

You know, since the death of the Fourth Mizukage of their family, they lost the Three-Tails. If they really lost the Six-Tails completely now, it would be too much of a blow to their Hidden Mist Village!

How can there be a big country without a tailed beast Jinchūriki! ?

Oh, there's another Konoha, right? That's fine.

"Ayan, you must immediately report this information back to the village and tell Master Yuanshi that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao is very likely to have fallen into the hands of other ninja villages. Preliminary prediction is that it is either the Kumo Ninja or the Iwa Ninja!"

The leading Mist Ninja said with a very serious expression while looking at a blue-haired Mist Ninja on the left.

"Yes!"

After the Mist Ninja lowered his head to answer, he leapt up and headed to the other side.

"Everyone else, follow me and continue chasing!"

"Yes!"

Even though they know that the hope is very slim, infinitely close to zero, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, these Mist Ninjas will continue to pursue. The influence of the tailed beasts is really too great, looking at the history of ninjas.

Apart from the two peerless heroes of Konoha, the strongest of the remaining ninjas can only be said to be able to suppress an ordinary tailed beast. Such a ninja is itself an extremely rare pyramid figure in the entire ninja world. Not to mention, no matter how strong humans are, it is rare for them to have existences with the same large-scale destructive capabilities as the tailed beasts.

Especially in the past few decades of ninja village war history, this point has been fully proven. The tailed beasts can really bring overwhelming advantages to ordinary ninja legions in the war. The Hidden Mist Village absolutely cannot accept the loss of two tailed beasts in succession.

As for why we judge that the Vulpix is ​​likely to fall into the hands of the Iwagakure and Kumogakure, this is just a basic deduction under normal circumstances.

It's not that I didn't doubt Konoha. But in the eyes of this leader of the Mist Ninja.

It is obvious that the threats posed by the first two are greater and have the highest likelihood!

The situation in Iwagakure Village and Ōnoki might be a little better, but the Fourth Raikage Ai seems to be a bit unlucky. Not only did the next generation successor whom he sent out and trusted the most die in the battle, but he also had to take half the blame for no reason, and this news is still unknown.

It can be predicted that in a few days, the desk in the office of the Fourth Raikage will enter the countdown stage of its life.

All parties gathered in this special "Six-Tailed Hunting War".

Menma is undoubtedly the final winner. Not only did he successfully complete his pre-planned goals and get the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao to join his side, greatly enhancing his side's strength, but he also weakened the power of the hostile forces. Whether it was the loss of Danzo's Root power or the deaths of Cloud Ninjas led by Darui from the Hidden Cloud Village, it was all good news for Menma.

Especially the latter, the strength shown by Darui in the original work is that of a very good Kage-level warrior. If it were not for excessive chakra consumption and a certain degree of injury, Menma might not be able to kill the future Fifth Raikage so cleanly.

This kind of thing that can weaken the enemy is, in a sense, strengthening one's own strength. After all, at a certain point in the future, once he joins the Takigakure Village, all the matters concerning Vulpix and Yugao will be exposed.

It is 100% foreseeable that it will be coveted and invaded by many forces.

Including the Iwagakure Village, which now seems to be an ally, it is hard to say whether the Third Tsuchikage will change his mind immediately.

The human heart is a terrifying thing that can never be fully understood.

Therefore, from this point of view, Menma can really be said to have made a lot of money, but the other forces have suffered pure losses, including Orochimaru's side. The loss of a stronghold and the casualties of more than a dozen subordinates may not be something Orochimaru himself cares about, but it is still a loss after all.

The Hidden Mist Village side seemed to have suffered no losses.

But the loss of Liuwei Yugao was already a heavy blow.

At least there was still hope before, right?
As for the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha, it was a pure loss.

The number of casualties was the largest, and each of them was an elite soldier.

Aburame Ryoma is indeed not as good as Darui, but he is also an elite jonin and a trusted subordinate of Shimura Danzo. He is definitely one of the founding fathers of the Root. Therefore, more than a day later, one or two surviving members of the Root passed the information about what happened in the Land of Spring back to the Hidden Leaf Village through special channels and Danzo learned about it.

"Peng!"

This Lord of Konoha also made a guest appearance as the Fourth Raikage. He angrily slammed the table in front of him hard, breaking it into pieces.

The only eye that was exposed revealed a very cold and twisted look.

"Orochimaru! Uzumaki Menma!!!"

Those were the words that were spoken almost with gritted teeth.

It also fully and nakedly displays Danzo's anger.

There are three elite Root teams, and Ryoma Aburame, who can be regarded as the strongest person in the Root except himself.

Almost the entire army was wiped out!

And still nothing was gained.

How could Danzo accept such a result!? How could he not be angry!?

Danzo is now exactly like Wu Zetian who became a widow - he has lost his mind!
For a moment, Danzo wanted to lead the team himself, and then all the Root came out to deal with Orochimaru and Menma.

In the past few months.

He has already lost a lot of people.

The Root was already seriously injured, and under Tsunade's restrictions, it was much more difficult for Danzo to recruit more people into the Root. Unless he went to find orphans in the village or outside the village to train them, Tsunade would not have too many restrictions, but how much time would it take! ?
Even if we calculate it based on the shortest time, it will still take several years to cultivate a qualified root.

Does Danzo still have time for this now?!

What he needs is instant combat power!

How can it be repaired? ! !
"So, can we confirm the whereabouts of the Vulpix? Was it taken away by Orochimaru? Or by the Kumo Ninja? Or is there another result?"

Danzo looked at the Root member below with a cold expression and said in a very sinister tone.

If you don't get Vulpix.

What Danzo hopes to see most is that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki will escape on his own like before and wander around the ninja world. He absolutely does not want to see the Six-Tails fall into the hands of any force. Even if it is recaptured by the Hidden Mist Village, Danzo will feel that it is cutting his own flesh. The result that Danzo would be happiest of is that the Six-Tails is still in a rebellious 'ownerless state', because that means he still has a chance to get this one as the leader!
"No, that is impossible to be certain."

"If you can't be sure, then go and confirm it! Send more personnel, and make sure to find the trace of Vulpix in the shortest possible time. Do you understand?!"

Danzo said angrily.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

The man from the root immediately lowered his head in response, then leaped away from the spot.

After thinking for a long time, Danzo leaned on his wooden crutch and took a step forward. He felt that he had to take further action, otherwise the situation would become increasingly unfavorable to him and their Konoha.

He couldn't let Tsunade continue to act like that.

Vulpix must not fall into the hands of others, especially that bastard Orochimaru!!!
If Danzo's anger was almost devouring his sanity.

The Fourth Raikage, who was far away in the Land of Lightning, received the relevant information much later than Danzo, and was truly overwhelmed with anger.

"What did you say? Darui and the others are missing!? They are suspected to have been killed!? Are you kidding me!? You idiot!"

The Fourth Raikage Ai stood up from his seat suddenly, and he clapped his right hand almost subconsciously.

"Peng!"

"Crack!"

"Crash!"

Along with the roaring words, the desk in front of him, which had been replaced only a few months ago, seemed to let out a whine and immediately broke into pieces.

The man standing on the earthen platform to the left of the Fourth Raikage Ai also had a stern look on his face at this moment, his eyes fixed on the Cloud Ninja who had just come to report.

What is Darui's strength?

Tutai knows it best.

It should be said that in his own ninja village, apart from the Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Umoto, the next strongest person is Darui.

Moreover, he is still young and has a lot of room for advancement.

Definitely one of the most trustworthy people in the village.

The Cloud Ninjas led out this time were almost all the elite in the village, and those who were weaker were still responsible for sealing.
