Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 301 The key point

It was a feeling that even Naruto himself couldn't explain.

Tsunade, who was sitting in the main seat, felt extremely embarrassed and shocked. She had a good idea of ​​the strength of the Fourth Raikage, as he had had several brilliant performances in the Third Ninja World War.

Be it speed or strength, he is unrivaled in the ninja world.

The Hidden Cloud Village has always been regarded as a powerful ninja village second only to Konoha. The individual quality of the Cloud Ninjas is extremely high. There are more than 3,000 Cloud Ninjas, led by the Fourth Raikage himself, and there is also the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. To be honest, with such a configuration, Tsunade feels that she may not be able to take it down easily even if her own village takes action.

This can only be done if Jiraiya and I act together.

The rest can only be filled by the human wave tactics.

Konoha has such a foundation, so what is the basis for Taki Shinobi?

Three tailed beasts is indeed exaggerated, but looking at the history of the ninja world, how many people can truly and perfectly unleash the power of the tailed beasts?
If each of them were really that strong, Konoha would have been even more exhausted from the three previous Ninja World Wars.

At the end of the day, a Jinchūriki is a Jinchūriki and a Tailed Beast is a Tailed Beast.

The two cannot really be equated together.

But even in such a situation where the conditions on the surface were not very favorable, Menma could actually lead the Takigakure ninja to defeat the Takigakure Village led by the Fourth Raikage in a head-on battle! ?
And the most terrifying thing is that Menma single-handedly crushed the Fourth Raikage.

This strength.

This means.

"!!?"

How could Tsunade not feel palpitations and shock?

The most important thing is that the defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village has completely disrupted their plans. After reading the contents recorded in the entire scroll, Tsunade's expression became uncertain.

But Tsunade is a heroine after all.

After just a moment, I adjusted my mentality and sorted out my thoughts.

"Tell Jiraiya to do everything according to their frontline's judgment. I will contact the major ninja villages and tell them not to rush and wait and see the situation. The final judgment will be left to the front line."

Tsunade took a deep breath and spoke in a steady tone.

Jiraiya and Shikaku are at the front line, so Tsunade still trusts them very much. She doesn't need to intervene too much, and it is enough to just do the logistics work.

Tsunade definitely supports Jiraiya and Shikaku's judgment 100%.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The Konoha ninja sitting below immediately bowed and responded.

Following from that.

He also stood up and strode away.

"Jingyin, pass this information from the frontline to the three advisory elders immediately and ask for their opinions."

After that Konoha ninja left.

Tsunade also turned her head and looked at Shizune on the side, handing over the scroll in her hand.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Jingyin also understood the importance of the matter and immediately responded solemnly.

"Naruto, I know you're determined, but now is not the time for you to go out. Just stay in the village and I'll consider it. But now, you can't mess around, understand?"

Tsunade looked at Naruto who was sitting on the other side and said with a very serious expression.

Naruto opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But in the end, she nodded silently and replied softly: "I understand, Granny Tsunade."

Naruto is indeed still the same Naruto. His optimistic, positive, cheerful and resolute personality has not changed at all.

But it’s still because of different childhood circumstances.

The Naruto in this life knows more and matures earlier than the Naruto in the original work.

After all, he has been carrying the honor of being the son of the Fourth Hokage since he was a child.

What is carried under that sunny appearance is still very heavy.

"Well, go back and have some rest. Trust me, and trust Grandpa Jiraiya, we will handle this properly."

Looking at Naruto's obviously depressed mood.

Tsunade sighed softly in her heart and spoke in an extremely gentle tone.

In Tsunade's heart.

Naruto's status is still quite high, and Tsunade really regards Naruto as her closest family member.

"Ah."

Naruto nodded slightly.

Then he turned around, pushed open the door, and slowly left.

"fox"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

And just after Naruto left, at Tsunade's gentle call, a figure suddenly appeared in the shadows on the left.

He was dressed in black and wore an animal mask on his face.

He is the person directly under the Anbu of the Hokage.

The cold and stern aura emanating from him.

This is also enough to prove that the strength of this Anbu member is also at the level of a Jonin.

"The 24-hour protection must not be interrupted. We need to increase the manpower and make sure Naruto cannot leave Konoha. You understand what I mean."

Tsunade said with a serious expression.

"Yes, please rest assured, Hokage. I will never let Master Naruto leave Konoha."

This Anbu man also responded in a very low but firm tone.

Everyone in the entire ninja village knows that Naruto has a special identity.

This is not just because of the Fourth Hokage.

It’s also because of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade.

Those Anbu members who are directly under the jurisdiction of the Hokage must pay special attention.

"Old man, I don't want to say it, but all of this is really your fault..."

Tsunade looked back at the four Hokage photos hanging on the left wall of the office, her eyes fixed on the third photo of her own teacher. She couldn't help but shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart.

If Menma and Naruto had lived together in the Hidden Leaf Village as the Hokage's sons 12 years ago, how could such a result have occurred now?

All this can only be said to be the result of fate and time.

the other side.

Naruto, who had already left, didn't know that Tsunade had strengthened the surveillance on his whereabouts. These Konoha ninjas, who were almost all elite members of the Anbu, followed and monitored him 24 hours a day, so ordinary people could not escape.

Unless one is as strong as a Kage and is very good at dodging and stealth, even if one has the strength to easily break through the interception of these Anbu, he will definitely not be able to do it quietly.

Not to mention that there are huge perception barriers and patrolling guards all around.

It's really impossible for ordinary people to leave Konoha.

Naruto himself is well aware of this.

It must also be said that Tsunade's defense was very reasonable, because although Naruto seemed to respond very well on the surface, in fact, when Naruto turned around and left, he had already made up his mind in his heart to find an opportunity to leave Konoha.

What is the situation on the front line?

It still makes Naruto very worried.

"Menma! I will definitely bring you back, and Sasuke, you too, even if I have to break your arms and legs, this is my ninja way!" Naruto took a deep breath, then strode towards his home. He had to plan carefully how to leave the village quietly without being discovered by others.

Big changes on the front line.

The waves it brings have just begun.

After Tsunade's order was given.

The three old guys in the village also received the news. Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu were okay. Although they were shocked, they basically agreed with Tsunade's orders. They really couldn't do anything rash now.

The strength of Menma Uzumaki and the power unleashed by the Takigakure Village.

It really exceeded previous expectations.

Be cautious, you must be cautious.

This is also an inertial way of thinking that the two advisory elders have developed over the past decades.

However, the two advisory elders were able to force themselves to calm down, but the Dark Lord of Konoha was unable to do that.

"Peng!"

"Crash!"

In the darkest underground chamber.

The equipment that was directly smashed.

The only pupil of Danzo that was exposed also revealed an extremely cold look.

"Uzumaki Menma!!!"

It's not anger, it's more like jealousy.

The old man's pursuit throughout his life has always been very direct and simple, that is to obtain supreme power, then ascend to the position of Hokage, and then lead Konoha to dominate the entire ninja world. This is a series of 'goal values'!
Sharingan is also good.

Even Wood Release is fine.

Including the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Danzo had long regarded them as forbidden powers that only he could use and control.

Therefore, Uzumaki Menma used the power of the Nine-Tails and led the Taki ninjas, who seemed weak to outsiders, to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village led by the Fourth Raikage himself.

For this old coin, Danzo.

The fire of jealousy in one's heart is the strongest.

"Send someone to the front line and tell Wu and his men that all operations have been suspended and that they should follow Jiraiya and the others' orders for now."

But after the rage.

Danzo still forced himself to calm down.

Although the actions of this Konohagakure's Dark Lord seemed extremely stupid at certain times, he was blinded by his own greed. He underestimated the enemy and overestimated himself.

This time, things were different.

Menma’s record is clearly laid out before him.

Although Danzo is still a little confident in his own strength (with Wood Release and the Mangekyō Sharingan, he naturally thinks he can suppress the Nine-Tails)
But the people at the root of the front line are obviously not good enough.

Adjusting the plan is what we should do.

He only has so few people under his command, and he cannot continue to sacrifice them in vain. Danzo does not want to be a commander without troops.

If he really wants to take action against Mian Ma, he has to do it personally.

But he couldn't just leave Konoha casually. The old man still cherished his life very much. Unless he was absolutely sure, or it was something extremely important that required him to leave the village, otherwise, he had to think carefully about everything.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

in the dark.

A standing figure suddenly lowered his head in response, then leaped away from the spot and went to carry out Danzo's order.

"Uzumaki Menma, Tsunade, hehe, just wait for me. I will wait patiently until you guys reveal your flaws! !"

At this moment, Danzo's expression became gloomier than ever before.

The Sand Village is hesitant.

A timely stop at the Hidden Mist Village.

The Hidden Leaf Village will wait and see for now.

The terrifying silence of the Hidden Cloud Village has further enhanced the prestige of the Hidden Cloud Village led by Menma in the ninja world.

The four major ninja villages almost seem different.

But the result is the same approach.

This also made the attention of other small countries and ninja villages focus on the Land of Earth and the Hidden Rock Village, as the nominal victors of the Third Ninja World War like Konoha.

And it was the ninja village that killed the Third Raikage.

Originally, the Iwagakure Village should have been a notable ninja village that was almost on par with Konoha, but the people know their own business. In order to kill the Third Raikage in the Third World War, the Iwagakure Village paid a heavy price. Ohnoki was the kind of Kage who only cared about practical benefits and not false reputation. In the past ten years, he chose to watch all the affairs of the ninja world with cold eyes. As long as it was not closely related to him, he would never intervene.

Including the conflict between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village many years ago, the Hidden Cloud Village showed a lack of interest from beginning to end.

Unless Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village really start an all-out war, Ōnoki will really get involved. Otherwise, the Third Tsuchikage really doesn't care about local clashes, even if the Hidden Cloud Village is the biggest enemy of his own ninja village.

Ohnoki also has his own pride.

This also applies to the so-called alliance agreement with Menma.

Ohnoki has always faced all this with a playful attitude. The old man really doesn't think that Menma can do anything big.

So what if he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

After all, he is just a young man, right?

Just become a chess piece that he can use obediently, however, the development of things is far beyond Ohnoki's expectations.

It was only for such a short period of time.

Menma has exceeded Ōnoki's expectations time and time again, especially this time's clash with the Hidden Cloud Village.

War is truly always the best way for any person or any country's ninja village to become famous.

As long as you can stand on the shoulders of the strong.

Then this person and this ninja village will definitely become the focus of the whole world.

At this moment, Uzumaki Menma's name completely resounded throughout the ninja world, and in a completely different form than before.

In the past, when people mentioned Menma, including Ōnoki, they usually labeled him with names like 'son of the Fourth Hokage' or 'Nine-Tails Jinchūriki'.

But now.

People mentioned Menma.

That is completely different from the previous idea.

'Uzumaki Menma' is one of the most powerful beings in the ninja world.

Ohnoki is also going to refresh his understanding of the opposite side once again.

It can be said that just when Ohnoki had just issued the order to make corresponding adjustments and was preparing to see how the situation would change, in less than a few days, he received the news that Menma led the Taki Ninja to defeat the Cloud Ninja troops led by the Fourth Raikage.

The Third Tsuchikage, who had seen many storms, felt a little dazzled.

Another reason was to respond to Ōnoki's previous order to his son to strengthen the relationship between him and Menma.

Menma also sent someone to contact him at the same time.

It arrived almost at the same time as the news of the Cloud Ninja's defeat.

This made Ohnoki, who had always been full of energy, wonder for the first time whether he was really old.
