Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 280 Arrangement
Wuwei, who was unaware of the thoughts of his people, was leading Menma and his group, one after another, to the rather luxurious leader's building in Kusagakure Village.

When he arrived at the office that previously belonged to Masashi Shigeta.

Under the orders of Menma and Wuwei.

The other Kusanagi and Taki ninjas could only stay outside.

Inside the room, apart from Menma, Wuwei, Karin, Muku and Suigetsu, there was no other figure.

"Lord Menma, currently all locations in Kusagakure Village are..."

After Menma sat down in the main seat.

Wuwei also immediately stepped forward and reported to Menma in great detail the series of operations he had performed after returning to Kusagakure Village and the current situation in the village. He also presented the current personnel configuration of Kusagakure Village and some specific lists directly in front of Menma.

Combined with detailed data.

Menma also had a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the current situation of the Kusagakure Village, especially in terms of the number of ninjas, which was beyond Menma's previous expectations. There were actually more than 3,800 active ninjas in the Kusagakure Village, almost approaching 4,000. Although compared with the five major ninja villages, which often had more than 10,000 ninjas, and the terrifying number of Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure that was close to 20,000 at their peak, it seemed very insignificant.

But you have to know that this is a Hidden Grass Village.

Having four thousand Grass Ninjas is already very good.

Add to that the number of ninjas from the Takigakure Village, that's about eight or nine thousand combat forces. Even if there aren't many reliable ones among them, this number is enough to hold the scene. Compared with the weakest Sand Village at present, even if the high-end combat forces are removed, it's already not inferior.

If the two ninja villages could really merge smoothly and integrate their strength.

There is absolutely no problem in calling it the sixth largest ninja village.

There was an obvious look of joy on Menma's face.

Even though these people currently seem to be cannon fodder among cannon fodder, the number is still there after all.

And Menma is not without means to make these people stronger.

There is no way to improve one's personal strength and quality.

But external equipment can be improved.

After defecting from the Hidden Leaf Village, and especially during the period of time since joining the Hidden Leaf Village, Menma has not wasted any time.

"Very good, you can do this in such a short time, you are worthy of being Wuwei-san."

Menma said, nodding with a smile on his face.

"No, I just did all these according to Menma-sama's instructions. But Menma-sama, although most of the Kusagakure Village seems to be stable now, it will still take some time to force the merger of the two ninja villages. In addition, some people may not be able to change their minds. These people must be purged. Please give me more time to make arrangements. In addition, as for Shigeta Masashi, if he is still alive, I have to make more arrangements."

Wuwei still had an unperturbed look on his face. He first shook his head slightly and put all the credit on Menma. Then his expression changed and he spoke in a very serious tone.

"Well, your worry is not without reason. There is nothing wrong with Shigeta Masashi. I have already executed all of his direct subordinates, including Sanzhi and Lei Shi. The body of Shigeta Masashi is in here. You can use it to further undermine the will of those people. As for the issue of merging the two villages, there is no rush for it. Once you become the leader, you can directly promote the alliance between the two villages. This is also the best approach at the moment."

Menma nodded, first took out a special sealing scroll from his arms and placed it on the table, then crossed his hands, looked serious and spoke in a deep voice.

After hearing the first half of Menma's words, Wuwei nodded. Especially when he heard that Masashi Shigeta was dead, Wuwei's expression became much more relaxed.

Can the Kusagakure Village stabilize?

The life and death of Masashi Shigeta is really important.

After all, he is the leader of the village. If he really comes back to fight for power, problems will easily arise later.

The reason why Wuwei accepted the issue of defense first was that if he found any signs of Shigeta's return, Wuwei would take action immediately and lead people to kill Shigeta. He would never be allowed to return to the village and come into contact with other Grass Ninjas.

If it causes greater civil unrest, even if we win in the end.

The loss of the Kusanagi was also inevitable.

Wuwei was very clear that such a development was definitely not what his lord Menma wanted to see, but now such worries could be completely dispelled. Since Shigeta Masashi, Sanzhi, Lei Shi and others had been killed by Menma, Wuwei was confident that he could forcibly integrate the Kusagakure Village in a short period of time and make the Kusagakure ninjas obey his orders at least in name.

Given a little more time, Wuwei felt that he could go a step further and control all the power of the Kusagakure Village.

But when I heard the second half of Menma's words.

Wuwei's expression changed slightly.

"Ah? Are you going to postpone the merger plan? That's certainly possible, but it's not appropriate for me to be the leader of Kusagakure Village. It should be..."

Wuwei subconsciously thought that this was a test from Menma.

At this moment, he opened his mouth and wanted to explain something.

"Only you are the most suitable, Wuwei-san. I can't be an outsider. The current Kusagakure Village is still relatively unstable. It needs a real family member to be the leader. Even if there are some other problems, those people will accept it. Now only you are the most suitable, and I believe in you, Wuwei-san. When the entire ninja village can be further stabilized, we can talk about other things. At this stage, this approach can better deploy the power of Kusagakure Village. You should also know that I don't have much time left. I may face a clash with those guys at any time!"

Menma also took the initiative and waved his hand, speaking with a very serious expression.

That's not just a compliment.

It is not any attempt to test.

Menma certainly hasn't reached the point where he believes in Wuwei 100%.

You know, even Suigetsu and Menma are still mentally prepared for the possibility that this guy will just run away one day.

Not to mention it is useless.

Time and experience are one of the most important criteria for judgment.

Therefore, this is simply a judgment made by Menma based on the current situation. He can't really let Takigakure Village forcibly annex Kusagakure Village, right?
If the name could be changed, perhaps the people in Kusagakure Village would be able to accept it, that is, Takigakure Village blatantly swallowed up the entire Kusagakure Village, and still expressed it to the outside world in the name of Takigakure Village.

No normal person would accept this.

Including those under Wuwei's command.

Menma felt that there was a high probability that people would become demoralized. That was definitely not the result Menma wanted.

It is most reasonable to firmly control the power of Kusagakure Village. The only risk of doing so is whether Wuwei is reliable enough.

But for now.

Menma thinks it's still worth trusting.

"this..."

Wuwei is not an ordinary person either. Menma is actually just the beginning, so Wuwei can be roughly understood.

In fact, he himself had seen this possibility before.

He simply felt that he had to carry out Menma's orders, so he planned to carry them out directly. Now that Menma has changed his mind, Wuwei certainly thinks it is more reasonable, but as the leader, Wuwei is still a little worried.

"Father, since Master Menma has said so, then you should take over the position of leader first. This arrangement is indeed the most reasonable. The Kusagakure Village cannot be in chaos now. Only a stable Kusagakure Village can provide support to Master Menma. The work of merging will be pushed forward when the time is right in the future."

On one side, Wuque can also clearly understand the worries in his father's heart, but he can also be regarded as Wuque in human form of the Box of Bliss. He has a very keen grasp of human emotions. It is impossible to read minds, but Wuque can roughly sense that his master Menma really arranged it this way.

Then his father doesn't need to hesitate at all, since he is doing it for Lord Menma, right?

When Wuwei heard his son's words, he was stunned at first.

The next second, he met Menma's peaceful eyes.

If you do nothing, the ups and downs of your heart will become stable accordingly.

At that moment, he nodded gently and said, "Yes, I understand, Master Menma, I will definitely settle down the Kusagakure Village as soon as possible!"

"Well, I still believe in Wu Wei-san. By the way, among the more than 300 Kusagakure ninjas that Shigeta Masashi led out, except for some who died in battle, most of them are still alive. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to send this group of Kusagakure ninjas back. You have to make proper arrangements. Other sensitive and threatening people must also be carefully identified. Don't let them affect the stability of the village. You don't have to kill them, but you must monitor them closely and don't let them move freely. Do you understand??"

Masashi Shigeta is dead.

As long as the living Kusagakure ninjas are not particularly twisted and stubborn, Menma would rather not kill them indiscriminately, as this is not conducive to the harmony and stability within the village.

What Menma wants is a ninja village that can provide support, not a ninja village that is constantly in internal strife.

"Yes, please rest assured, Master Menma, do you have any other instructions?"

Wuwei nodded very seriously, and then continued.

"Well, then no. Oh, and, Shuiyue, from today on, you will stay in Kusagakure Village. Wuwei-san, you can send some suitable personnel to Shuiyue. In some necessary locations in the Land of Grass, we also need to build corresponding strongholds and barriers, especially on the main road between Kusagakure Village and Takigakure Village. This is the key point of the connection. We must not cut off the connection, and we must not let other ninja villages block it."

Menma nodded first, and then as if he had thought of something crucial, he lightly tapped the table with his right index finger, motioning towards Shuiyue on the side. The words he spoke next also made Shuiyue reveal a very 'wonderful' expression.

This wasn't a sudden whim of Menma's.

It is a choice required by the reality.

When the two major ninja villages did not merge, they were said to be allies, and Menma was there to mediate, but in the end they were fighting each other, and it was difficult to integrate them together in a systematic way.

The important communication channel must not have any problems.

It would have been most appropriate to let Karin stay.

Regardless of Karin's ability or Menma's trust in Karin, this is the only suitable candidate, but this idea only passed through Menma's mind once and was ruled out by Menma himself.

No reason, just because this is Kusagakure Village.

"Yes, I will immediately transfer the appropriate personnel."

Wuwei nodded without thinking and replied with emphasis.

"Eh? Um, please wait a moment, Master Menma, it's not appropriate for me to be in charge of this area. I'm not particularly familiar with this aspect of the work yet."

Shuiyue quickly waved her hands and said with an obviously forced smile.

Oh my God, let him stay and be responsible for setting up the barrier of Kusagakure Village?

Shuiyue said she couldn't do this job.

Of course, there was a moment when Suigetsu seemed to be moved, because it meant that she could stay away from Menma, and even Karin was not there, didn't that mean that she had the possibility of escaping from here?
I have to say, even though we have been together for such a long time.

The relationship between Menma and Suigetsu is still so delicate.

As for being a subordinate, Shuiyue has no real loyalty. If you say that she is completely detached, that is not the case. Shuiyue executes every order of Menma very well and calls him "Sir Menma" all the time.

Without saying too much, to any outsider, Shuiyue is definitely Menma's direct subordinate, and a die-hard fan at that, to Shibuki, Ajun, and now Wuwei and his son Wuqiu.

What is the specific situation.

Only the parties involved know the truth.

"Don't worry, Shuiyue. I will extra-assign Xue Lan and a few others to assist you. It's just the most conventional barrier arrangement, which can provide basic warning and defense. I also believe in your ability. Oh, by the way, I have already made some progress in what I promised you before. This is the first one. As long as you don't let me down, I promise to hand over the remaining six to you, Shuiyue."

Menma smiled lightly and took out another sealing scroll from his arms as he spoke.

"untie!"

The technique of releasing the seal.

"puff!"

A burst of white mist appeared out of nowhere and then dissipated.

An extremely iconic broadsword came into the eyes of everyone present.

Wuwei, Wuqiu, father and son, and Xianglin were all fine, but the moment Shuiyue saw the big knife, her eyes widened instantly.

Because this sword is exactly what Shuiyue himself wants to get, the beheading sword, one of the seven swords of the Hidden Mist Village! ! !
