Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 284 News and Shock

The Iwagakure Village was the first to receive the news and was also the first to take action.

But it is just as Ohnoki said.

They can receive the news, and the news from other ninja villages will be delayed by one or two days at most. They can also receive the news from Menma, Takigakure Village, and Kusagakure Village. After all, Menma is always under the highest attention of ninja villages in various countries. If he remains silent and does not take any action, it will of course be difficult to capture him.

But as long as Menma takes the initiative to expose himself to the public.

It is impossible to escape the sight of these people.

It was almost the time when Huangdi, Akagi, Ganze and others in the Iwagakure Village took action according to the orders of their own Tsuchikage.

The ninja villages of Konoha, Kumogakure, Sandagakure, and Kirigakure also received information to varying degrees.

And compared to the information received by Iwagakure Village in the previous one or two days.

Now there is more news about the alliance between 'Takigakure Village' and 'Kusagakure Village'!

Even though it is not comprehensive, it is not 100% confirmed.

But the content of this intelligence.

It was enough to shock these ninja villages.

"What!? Menma showed up in Kusagakure Village? He seems to have reached an agreement with the leader of Kusagakure Village, and now it has become an alliance between Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village!?"

In the Land of Fire, in the Hidden Leaf Village, in the Hokage Building.

Tsunade, who was already feeling annoyed because of the intensified conflict with the Cloud Ninjas during this period, stood up subconsciously when she heard this information. She looked at Nara Shikaku who came to report in a hurry with an incredible look and said.

You have to know that they had just learned the information from Orochimaru a few days ago, and there was also special intelligence showing that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki did follow Menma and Kabuto Yakushi back to one of Orochimaru's bases.

This is already a heavyweight piece of intelligence, and now there is even more important information.

For a while.

Tsunade almost doubted the authenticity of the information.

It was indeed Nara Shikaku who came to report, otherwise Tsunade would have absolutely ordered the intelligence team to conduct a new investigation.

This is simply beyond common sense! ?

Nara Shikaku also said with a very serious expression: "It is very likely that this is not just an alliance relationship, Lord Godai. Although the intelligence is not very clear, it can be analyzed that after Shigeta Masashi died inexplicably (this was the news released by Wuwei on behalf of the Kusagakure Village at the instruction of Menma. Even if everyone knows it, they can't really say that they killed the previous leader. A fig leaf is still needed), he ascended to the position of leader. All the orders he made are not in line with the interests of Kusagakure Village itself. There is also inaccurate information that Wuwei seems to respect Menma very much. Combined with the information from Takigakure Village, we have reason to suspect that Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village are very likely to be under the control of Menma now!"

Just as Ōnoki made his judgment based on his decades of life experience, Shikaku relied on his extraordinary sensitivity and sense of smell to make his own judgment from this not-so-sufficient information.

It sounds exaggerated and nonsensical.

Even ordinary people find it hard to believe.

Including Tsunade, everyone looked disbelieving at first.

But the person who said this is the intellectual leader of his own ninja village, so Tsunade must consider how likely this is.

"And from this point of view, our previous judgment on the relationship between Menma and Orochimaru should have been wrong. Menma did not join Orochimaru, but they should be equal allies. It should be that Menma used some bargaining chips and some means to convince Orochimaru!"

Shikaku continued his analysis.

And there is another thing that Shikaku did not say, which is that if this is the case, it was not necessarily Orochimaru who took the initiative to find Menma in last year's Chunin Exam. It was very likely the other way around. What happened in the Forest of Death is full of doubts!
Even so, there are still more things that cannot be explained.

But there was always a voice in Shikaku's heart telling him that this development was most likely the truth.

Tsunade's expression also became uglier than ever at this moment. If everything is really as Shikaku said.

She really needs to rethink her view of Uzumaki Menma, a 13-year-old boy.

A young man with such terrible intentions and means.

It's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki again. The future is not just a possibility, but will inevitably bring a hellish level of disaster to Konoha.

evidence?

This kind of thing does not require evidence.

Just having such a sign and probability is enough.

The social relations between national ninja villages.

It also involves the existence of a deep hatred. Even if there is a slight possibility, it must be faced with 100% attitude.

Less than a year.

In such a short period of time.

Tsunade could already fully feel the threat posed by Menma, and at this moment, she had completely given up her previous ideas.

Even if it would be unfair to Minato and Kushina who sacrificed themselves for the village.

But Tsunade is the Hokage and the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju.

She must stand from Konoha's perspective and consider Konoha's interests and safety.

Menma is also good.

Orochimaru too.

The time has come for execution.

"Naruto, if you want to blame someone, just blame Granny Tsunade. This is all for the village."

Tsunade couldn't help but flash through Naruto's cheerful face that looked just like her brother's. She sighed inwardly and immediately hardened her heart.

"Lu Jiu, immediately order a supreme meeting to be held and send someone to notify the three elders to attend the meeting!"

Tsunade slammed her desk and said with a very serious expression.

"Yes, Lord Godai!"

After Shikaku suddenly lowered his head in response, he immediately turned around and left to convey Tsunade's orders.

"Tsunade-sama, will this happen?"

As Tsunade's true confidant, Shizune could almost guess what Tsunade was thinking when she saw the expression on her lady Tsunade's face.

At this moment, he revealed a look of worry and spoke.

"We don't have time to hesitate, Shizune. The situation is completely different from last year. Whether it's the Hidden Cloud Village or the newly formed alliance between the Hidden Taki Village and the Hidden Grass Village, we must make a decision for the safety of our Konoha. Of course, we are not going to give that guy a last hope, but it also depends on whether he is willing to accept it. Anyway, we can't delay any longer."

Tsunade waved her hand, interrupting Shizune's words directly, and said with a very decisive expression.
