Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 263 Next Plan
PS: Happy holidays to all my friends!

Perhaps in the eyes of a powerful ninja.

The tailed beasts are indeed very strong, but they are by no means impossible to deal with, especially the one to seven tails. In the past Ninja World Wars, there have been several examples of them being defeated or even captured alive. Wasn't the most recent one the one-tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, Gaara, who was suppressed by the Konohagakure Village?

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao was almost defeated by the elite Cloud Ninja team led by Darui.

All these are enough to prove that the One to Seven-Tailed can still be suppressed with conventional force, but after all, these are tailed beasts. Without the siege of truly elite troops and the leadership of a powerful Kage-level being, it is impossible for them to be defeated by ordinary ninja troops.

And different from humans.

Although the chakra of the tailed beasts is not infinite strictly speaking, it is definitely not comparable to that of humans.

No matter how many ordinary cannon fodder-level ninjas come, the tailed beasts can kill them all.

Unless it really is that kind of endless human wave tactics, otherwise, numbers are really not very meaningful in front of the tailed beasts. Hoshigaki Kisame is known as the human-shaped tailed beast, but it is only relative to other ninjas. If you really compare chakra with the tailed beasts, there is still a very obvious gap. If the Third Raikage at that time had chakra at the level of the tailed beast, the ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas would not be able to really keep the Third Raikage, or at least they would have to pay a heavier price, or Ōnoki, Oonoki, Han and others would have to take action together to suppress it.

This is the horror of the tailed beasts.

How could Ah Jun not be surprised when he learned that his own ninja village suddenly had three tailed beasts! ?
This means that their Takigakure Village already has the initial qualifications and foundation to compete with the five major ninja villages!

But then he thought again that he might soon face accountability and even the threat of war from Kumogakure, Konoha, and even more ninja villages.

Ajun's expression then became tense.

"What does Menma-kun mean when he says we need to speed up the plan? Do we need to make any preparations?"

Ah Jun took a deep breath and looked straight at Menma and asked.

"Yes, it is a plan to enhance the strength of our village in all aspects. We will persuade Yudaka-san to join our side. The next step is to find the Three-Tails that has escaped from the control of the Hidden Mist Village. As long as we can successfully find it and persuade the Three-Tails to join our village, we can greatly enhance our high-end combat power. By that time, with just a few of us, it will be enough to make those ninja villages afraid to act rashly."

Menma paused, then continued.

Four tailed beasts.

It also includes him, the strongest Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even the Fourth Raikage, a war maniac, would feel a certain degree of difficulty and hesitation!
Several major ninja villages join forces?

Of course there is no problem with that.

But past events tell us that it is impossible for these ninja villages to unite sincerely, even if they can really eliminate all unfavorable factors this time and ensure that they will not attack each other.

But who will take the lead is still a serious question.

Four tailed beasts!

No large ninja village can withstand the power that can be unleashed. If someone deliberately slacks off during a joint attack, allowing one side to rush to the front with all their strength, even if the Takigakure Village is successfully destroyed in the end and Menma and others are captured, the fate of the ninja village that rushes to the front will definitely not be any better.

Who knows, maybe they will perish together with Takigakure Village!

This is a very serious and realistic issue.

Let’s not talk about any other issues. This is a basic issue of trust. Is there trust between the five major ninja villages?
Talking about this is a huge joke!!
"In addition, Orochimaru is our most steadfast ally. I have also reached a certain degree of tacit understanding with the Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village. Although the old man is obviously using us as a gun, it doesn't matter. At least we can ensure that the Third Tsuchikage will not make a move against us while the situation is still very favorable to the Iwagakure Village. The Sand Village has experienced a heavy blow before, and its vitality has not yet recovered. As for the Mist Village, we can leave it aside for now. Therefore, the hostile ninja villages we really need to face are Konoha and Kumogakure!"

Menma crossed his hands on the table and spoke softly with a calm look.

The arrangements that were gradually elaborated also contained some important intelligence.

Then the situation of the forces of both sides were analyzed one by one.

Can't say it's 100% accurate.

But it still has considerable reference significance.

And Menma is not just talking nonsense.

Whether it is Ajun or Shemu.

After listening to Menma's words, everyone felt a little relieved, especially the former. When they heard that the famous Orochimaru and the Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village had reached a certain degree of alliance and tacit understanding with Menma, their eyes revealed a hint of strangeness.

Because Menma is obviously just a boy under 13 years old.

But why does this give people the feeling that he is a very reliable adult?
The impact of the visual and perceptual effects is really quite obvious.

"The Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha? Then our focus should be on setting up defenses in the eastern part of the village..."

Shibuki nodded and said with a thoughtful look.

Although the Takigakure Village has weakened a lot, it no longer has any particularly reliable high-end combat power except Fu.

Even the leader Shibuki is just an ordinary jonin, barely even an elite jonin. The overall quality of the ninjas in the entire Takigakure Village is not particularly high, but the number is still considerable. Over the years, the number has been maintained at more than 4,000 people. It may not play a very strong positive role, but it can still be used as a peripheral control force.

"Well, the key is to be prepared and not get attacked. During this period of time, we should also build as many forward reconnaissance bases as possible. I will also lead people to set up defensive barriers in some necessary locations as a key means of stopping the enemy. It doesn't need to be too useful, but at least it should give us more time to prepare and react!"

Menma said with a slight nod.

In Menma's plan, he never thought of relying on these ordinary ninjas in the Takigakure Village to fight the enemy. Firstly, it was because most of these Takigakure ninjas were unreliable, and secondly, because of the previous reason, he did not want to see too many casualties among the Takigakure ninjas.

The strength of the village can be improved slowly.

But prestige can be easily destroyed overnight.

Even if a war was won, if Takinin suffered heavy casualties, Menma could foresee that not only him, but even Shibuki, the appointed leader, would be overthrown from his leadership position, and the same would be true for the people in any world.

A leader must bring them benefits and peace.

Wars must not only be won, but also with few deaths.

Given the current number of ninjas in Takigakure Village, if the number of casualties easily exceeded a thousand, there would inevitably be complaints in the village.

That is absolutely not feasible.

Therefore, in Menma's original plan, the biggest role of the Taki ninjas was as reconnaissance and guard, and the rest was just to hold the scene for a while, and then join in the battlefield sweep. The main force in combat, on the other hand, had to "protect" these Taki ninjas to a certain extent.

It sounds a bit nonsensical.

But this is the reality that Menma needs to face. It is difficult, but it must be overcome.

After being exposed, as long as you can withstand the first round of attacks, the subsequent problems will be easy to deal with. The game between major powers is very complicated.

Want to beat him to death with one stick?

That depends on whether you have the ability!

"Well, I'll leave this aspect to you, Jun-san. Arrange it according to Menma-kun's instructions."

Shibuki nodded and looked at Ajun who was standing beside him and said.

"I understand, but is the west really defenseless? We can rest assured about the Iwagakure Village, but the Sand Village seems to have restored its alliance with Konoha, right? It's one of the five great nations after all. If there's no control at all, once the Sand Village takes action, it will be difficult for us to react, right?"

Ah Jun nodded in response first, then asked with a hint of doubt.

No matter how weak the Sand Village is, that is only relative to the five major ninja villages. Menma can indeed ignore the Sand Village, but Ajun can't do that. To be honest, the threat shadow of the five major countries is still very heavy in the eyes of the ninjas of these small and medium-sized countries.

Even though there are a few individuals who have been clamoring to surpass the five major countries, and some even arrogantly call themselves "Shadow"!
But the more you do this, the less confident you become.

Ajun is not that afraid of the five major ninja villages, but his basic mentality is still the same.

"Don't worry, Ah Jun-san, there's nothing to worry about with the Sand Village. Over the years, the biggest enemy of the Sand Village has always been the Rock Village. In addition, although the Sand Village is not as far away as the Kirigakure Village, it is not easy to do so. There are other countries between us and the Sand Village. The Sand Village does not have the confidence and qualifications to launch a cross-border attack again. Even if they really dare to do so, there are many realistic limitations. The Sand Village cannot send out too many forces. I have also made corresponding arrangements. Once there is a change, we can immediately suppress it!"

Menma said with a chuckle.

If we talk about the other three major ninja villages, Menma does need to be treated seriously.

There is really no need to take the Sand Village and the Mist Village too seriously.

One is the distance issue just mentioned.

Another issue is the strength of the current military power of the two major ninja villages.

It's not that Menma looks down on these two major ninja villages.

How many top fighters can the Sand Village and the Mist Village bring out now! ? Is it Gaara? Or Mei Terumi! ?
Just these people.

Say something arrogant.

Menma is really not scary at all.

With his current strength, he can really kill these two people with great force.

The quality of the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja has also declined a lot over the years, and they are completely unworthy of the status of the so-called five major ninja villages.

Menma really doesn't believe that these two major ninja villages dare to cause trouble for Takigakure Village! ?
Aren't you afraid that you will become weaker and be completely removed from the list of the five major ninja villages, or even become the object of covetousness of other ninja villages! ?
Just look at the recent developments in the Hidden Mist Village and you will know.

Even though it seems that a certain amount of troops have been dispatched to the border between the Water Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom.

But it's just for show.

Based on the first-hand information obtained from Orochimaru.

Not only were the number of Mist Ninjas less than a thousand, there were even fewer leading jonin, as if their actions were only taken to cope with the situation.

It would be completely different from going to war with the Hidden Cloud Village.

Menma could almost guess the mentality of the Hidden Mist Village. After all, it involved the Six-tailed Jinchuriki of their own village, and it would be unreasonable not to express their stance. They must be planning to wait until their vitality is restored in the future to really capture the two tailed beasts. Therefore, they absolutely cannot acquiesce and must show an attitude, but it is only limited to an attitude. If they really want to take action, the Hidden Mist Village does not have the confidence and ability now.

Not to mention that they would attack the Hidden Leaf Village.

Menma saw this very clearly.

"Therefore, as I said before, the only two villages we need to be fully alert to are Konoha and Kumogakure. All the preparations we need to make now are also aimed at these two ninja villages."

Menma paused for a moment, then continued.

"Well, since Menma-kun has made arrangements, that's good."

Ajun showed a relieved expression, but at the same time he had a very strange feeling in his heart, especially when he saw his leader Shemu nodding his head in approval, Ajun felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Not because of anything.

It is simply because of the current strategic arrangements and negotiations.

Menma is obviously in control of the entire situation and has the dominant power. It seems that there is nothing strange about it, but don't forget that Shibuki is the leader of the ninja village. Menma should only be qualified to make suggestions, and the decision should be made by Shibuki.

But now it has completely changed.

Even in the Hidden Leaf Village.

It seems that for many decisions, Tsunade has to rely on the wisdom of Nara Shikaku, but the final decision-making power is still in Tsunade's own hands. Shikaku has never really made a decision. This is the difference.

Ajun wanted to say something, but finally he endured it.

The reason is very simple. It seems that only Menma can make the decision on this matter, and Shibuki does not have that ability.

"Hearing what Menma-kun said, I feel a little relieved. Then the next step is to set up basic defenses while searching for the location of the three-tail, right?"

Shibuki seemed to have not noticed anything at all and asked with a slightly relaxed expression.

"Do we need to send more people to participate?"

"That's not necessary. I'll leave this to Orochimaru-san. We shouldn't move rashly here, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Menma shook his head, then continued.

"And we have more important things to do!"

"Something more important?"

Shimu and Ajun were both stunned at first, and then their expressions became serious at the same time.
