Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 278: Control of Kusagakure Village

Some real diehards need to be eliminated in advance.

In this way, even if Maotian really avoided the ambush, he would be powerless to save the situation by the time he returned to the village. This was a way of gaining time difference.

The moment when Shigeta left the Ninja Village.

In fact, the dominant power has already fallen into the hands of Menma and Wuwei.

If Shigeta stayed in the Ninja Village, it would be very troublesome indeed. Now it just depends on the means.

A figure walked in from the main gate with dignity.

There is no need and no way to hide any trace.

"Huh!? What is this?"

"Ah, it seems to be Lord Wuwei!"

The moment a group of people approached.

The Grass Ninjas who were on guard at the main gate were the first to notice it, but it was naturally impossible for the young Grass Ninjas to recognize Wu Wei.

But the older Grass Ninjas among the guards could still recognize Wu Wei easily even though they hadn't seen him in person for nearly ten years.

So it is.

Each of these Grass Ninjas looked nervous.

They are very clear about Wuwei's current identity and responsibilities, as well as his relationship with the current leader.

They were not aware that their current leader had already quietly left the ninja village. Now when they saw Wuwei returning, a very dangerous thought subconsciously emerged in their minds.

"Ah, isn't this Arakawa and Ohki? It's been a long time since we last met. You've both aged a lot."

See familiar faces.

Moreover, they were comrades of the same era who had fought side by side.

A rare faint smile appeared on Wuwei's face, which was as cold as an iceberg.

"Yes, it has been a long time since we last met, Master Wuwei. I wonder if you have any urgent business to come back this time? Is everything okay in Ghost Lantern City?"

On the left, a middle-aged man with black hair and green eyes named Arakawa took a deep breath and stepped forward thousands of steps to block Wuwei's way forward. He asked with a respectful but serious expression.

Our ninja village has been peaceful for more than ten years.

The political power in the village is very stable.

As a senior ninja in the village, even though Arakawa was one of the people who supported Wuwei's ascension to the throne more than ten years ago, he is now old and does not want chaos in the village. In Arakawa's opinion, Wuwei's return is a very dangerous act.

He had to figure out what Wuwei's intention was.

While speaking, he used very obscure gestures to give instructions to the other Grass Ninjas behind him, asking them to immediately pass the information back to the leader's building.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same. Don't worry, there won't be any problems in Gui Lantern City. I've arranged everything. You don't have to do anything more with Shigeta-san. I'll be back today, which proves that everything is different. Arakawa, don't do anything unnecessary. Shigeta is not in the village now, and the same goes for Sanzhi, Lei Shi and others. They should never come back."

Wuwei returned to his indifferent attitude, looking at Arakawa in front of him with cold eyes. The words he said made Arakawa and Amu beside him feel cold all over, and their pupils shrank subconsciously.

"What did you say!?"

The expression of disbelief that was clearly revealed.

"Do you think I'm lying to you? If not for this, why do you think I chose to come back at this time? Arakawa-kun, it's about time."

Wuwei said this calmly.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Inside the village.

Suddenly, more than ten figures flashed over.

"Lord Wuwei!"

"Welcome back, Master Wuwei!"

"Greetings, Lord Wuwei!" The aura that each of them exuded was either that of a jonin or one that was infinitely close to the level of a jonin.

Arakawa could also recognize at a glance that these people were all his companions who were in charge of important positions in his own ninja village.

Some people are indeed like him before, preferring inaction.

But the vast majority of them are either slightly inclined towards the leader Shigeta, or are pure "power cliques" who will follow whoever is in power in the ninja village.

Judging from the current situation.

Our Lord Shigeta is definitely no longer in the Shinobi Village.

If so.

It is impossible for these people to make such a choice.

He is the legitimate leader of the ninja village.

"See? Arakawa-kun, this is the truth, and what choice do you want to make?"

Wuwei still had that indifferent look on his face as he looked at Arakawa calmly, feeling the huge mental pressure exerted upon him beneath his calmness.

This only took less than a few seconds.

Arakawa knelt on one knee with a wry smile on his face, and said tactfully: "Welcome back, Master Wuwei."

Amu, who was standing by, also knelt on one knee and saluted at the same moment as Arakawa saluted.

Even the other young Grass Ninjas who didn't understand the situation, when they saw the two captains choose to salute the man in front of them who looked like he was not a good person, they also knelt on one knee to salute.

This is not convincing.

But it is submission to the situation.

But for inaction.

This is enough.

Sometimes, this is how the trend comes about.

As long as he can nominally and openly control the ninja village, it will be meaningless even if Shigeta can really come back alive.

"Well, very good, then, let's go into the village."

Wuwei nodded slightly.

Soon afterwards.

It was when he was surrounded by a group of people and under the curious gazes of many ordinary people in the houses on both sides of the Ninja Village Avenue.

Wuwei strode towards the leader's building that he almost took over more than ten years ago.

Time is of the essence.

There are many things to do.

Wuwei dare not delay at all.

Even though Menma is still not so confident about Wuwei and Muku, the fact is that the father and son have completely agreed with Menma and are willing to work for Menma's cause. Even though the father and son are not very clear about all of Menma's plans and situations at present, at least they absolutely understand that the power of Kusagakure Village is a very important piece of the puzzle for Menma.

Of course, the two of them hope that the transition of power can be as smooth as possible without further damaging the vitality of the village.

Wuwei returns with strength.

In the absence of Masashi Shigeta.

There are really few people in Kusagakure Village who can resist Wuwei.

If it were a few years earlier, there would still be several elders with great prestige and experience in Kusagakure Village who could check and balance Wuwei.

But now, under a series of operations by Wuwei.

Almost all power, big or small, in the Kusagakure Village fell into his control. Some stubborn elements attempted to resist, but were ruthlessly suppressed by Wuwei.

Kill those who deserve to be killed.

The level that needs to be closed.

In this regard, Wuwei showed no mercy at all.
