Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 304: Turbulent Situation

Seeing Shibuki, Ajun, and Fushimi, Duolan and others in the back, I seemed to be getting a little nervous again.

Menma also waved his hand quickly and said.

He didn't want to boost these people's confidence with great difficulty and then suppress it directly, but it was obvious that Menma was worrying too much. People like Shemu and Ajun really believed in Menma now. Outsiders didn't know, but they all remembered Menma's performance in the battle two days ago.

Defeated the Fourth Raikage head-on single-handedly!

That is the Raikage who is known as the fastest and most powerful person in the ninja world.

Later, capturing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was even a piece of cake. No matter whether he was seriously injured or not, his identity and strength were there.

The reason why they became tense subconsciously.

It's purely because of the inertia of past thinking.

The five great ninja villages are stronger than anything else.

This is the reputation built up over decades and through three Ninja World Wars. It would be strange if there was no reaction.

Following Menma's next words fell.

Everyone's mood also relaxed.

There is noodle numbness.

What are you afraid of?

Unconsciously, this kind of consciousness has gradually penetrated into the hearts of Shibuki, Ajun, and many other Taki ninjas below.

This is the subtle change brought about by action and expression.

"Well, then what else do we need to do next? Just simply wait for Konoha's reaction?"

Shibuki nodded slightly, then looked at Menma with a questioning look and asked.

"That's right, we just need to wait. Time is on our side. The later Konoha takes action, the longer we have to prepare. We can also take a look at the battles between the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja. Once the battle goes well, the pressure on Konoha will become even greater!"

Menma said with a slight smile.

Because Iwagakure is now clearly on the side of Menma and the others. Once they defeat the Hidden Cloud Village, who will be under the greatest pressure when Chen Bing is stationed in the northern area?
That must be Konoha.

Therefore, they don't need to do anything at all. They just need to keep an eye on Konoha and respond to the moves.

The only thing Menma needs to consider is the Kizuna Castle. Ohnoki has already sent someone to explain to Menma clearly that that area will be handed over to the Iwagakure ninja. This is something Menma could have anticipated, because the geographical location there is really too special.

The connected areas seem unimportant at normal times, but once a war breaks out, they will become a fight-or-fight point. This is not from the perspective of the entire ninja world, but from the perspective of the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village.

Such a place is in the hands of Menma, a rising major ninja village, so it is natural that Ohnoki would not feel at ease.

Menma has also made the corresponding mental preparations.

If you want to get something, you must pay a price.

This is an eternal truth.

"Well, then let's do everything according to Menma-kun's wishes. Jun-san, Fushimi, and Doran, do you understand?"

Sitting in the main seat, Shemu nodded heavily and turned his gaze to Ajun and others sitting on the side. His words clearly carried double meanings.

"Yes, Shibuki-sama."

Ajun, Fushimi, Duolan and others all nodded slightly and responded the moment their leader's eyes met.

Menma, who was sitting opposite him, was also slightly stunned. He wanted to say something, but most importantly, he swallowed it back silently.

No direct words are needed.

But it has come to this point now.

What should happen.

In fact, everyone knows what is going on.

The same was true for Ajun. It wasn't that Menma was forcing anything, but Elder Mizuno Satoru had already given instructions, and Shibuki himself was willing, so everything seemed so natural.

foreseeable.

Wait until all this comes to a temporary end.

Menma's identity is likely to undergo a new change.

This is for Menma.

It would certainly be a very good change.

For Takigakure Village.

I also believe it will be a more correct choice.

In the storm, layer upon layer of turbulent situations continued to brew. After the Iwagakure Village officially sent out its troops, the ninja world was shaking with terror again as if a strong earthquake had occurred.

Although the alliance was not announced directly (Oonoki would not do that, it was common sense to keep something in reserve.)
But the main force of the Iwagakure ninjas were clearly heading towards the eastern region.

This is already very telling.

Along the way, they crushed the enemy with such brutal force that they wiped out all the strongholds set up by the Cloud Ninjas in the Frost Country and the Field Country. Their exaggerated method of swallowing up the enemy shocked the surrounding countries for a while.

As the person who was temporarily in charge of the work of the Hidden Cloud Village after the Fourth Raikage was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Dodai's face became extremely hideous and cold the moment he received the news.

"Iwagakure Village!! Damn Ohnoki!!"

Take advantage of the situation.

This was the only word Tutai could think of at the moment.

It must be said that the Rock Ninja's powerful attack really hit the vital point of the Hidden Cloud Village. There are more than 5,000 Rock Ninjas, and they are led by Huang Tu, who is very famous in the three wars. If it were the Hidden Cloud Village in the past, such a large army would at least be led by Darui himself, and then equipped with a corresponding number of Cloud Ninjas. But now! ?

His own Raikage was seriously injured, and Darui had already been killed.

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki was still captured.

The only person in the huge Cloud Village who could fight Huang Tu head-on was Killer Bee, the sworn brother of the Fourth Raikage, who had trained almost exclusively in the Cloud Thunder Gorge and was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of his own ninja village.

His move was indeed able to easily counter and even suppress Huang Tu's move.

But as the only high-end combat force in the village, he cannot go into battle easily. What's more, Kirabi is not the kind of person who is suitable to command an army. He is born to be a rapper, right?
Once Kirabi is sent into battle, he must at least be equipped with someone who can command a large army, and now in the village.

Someone who can have the prestige and the ability to do this.

There is only Tutai himself.

The remaining ones such as Samui, Xi, Mabuyi and others are not doing well.

But if they didn't care, it would be equivalent to handing over all those frontline areas. Not to mention that this would greatly damage the interests of the Hidden Cloud Village and threaten the security of the Hidden Cloud Village, it would be difficult for the Daimyo of their own country to pass it. Since the establishment of the Hidden Cloud Village.

There has never been a real defeat, and the Kingdom of Thunder has never paid a heavy price.

The Cloud Ninjas would rather die than surrender.

"immediately...."

Tutai took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and was about to give an order.

"Peng!"

Outside the office, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Master Dodai, Master Raikage has woken up!!!"

A burly, dark figure suddenly rushed in. Tutai frowned and was about to scold when he heard words that were almost broken in sound.

A look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Tutai's face.

You know, since the Raikage retreated back to the village two days ago, although he has undergone comprehensive treatment and is out of the threat of death, he is still in a deep coma. This is not only a severe physical injury, but also a mental injury. The Fourth Raikage is also very exhausted, and Menma's blow is multiple.

The Fourth Raikage’s injuries were not so easy to recover from.

At one point, he was just like an ordinary person, with a persistent high temperature.

During these two days.

The hearts of Dodai and others tightened. They, the Hidden Cloud Village, could not accept the death of their own Raikage in battle.

That was definitely a sky-falling development.

Fortunately, everything is still acceptable.

Tu Tai quickly dropped the government affairs in his hands and strode quickly towards the hospital. By the time Tu Tai arrived at the ward that was exclusively for his Lord Raikage.

The medical ninja with the highest medical skills in the Hidden Cloud Village, who is over 60 years old, is also giving a comprehensive examination to his own Lord Raikage.

That extremely serious expression gradually relaxed as the inspection was carried out.

"Master Fourth, your physical injuries are basically no longer a big problem. You just need to rest for a few days before you can be discharged from the hospital."

The attending physician said with a touch of respect as he looked at the Fourth Raikage, who was leaning on the bed with a slightly haggard face.

Injuries can be recovered through treatment, and short limbs can be directly reattached through special procedures, but the lost vitality cannot be easily recovered in a short period of time.

The Fourth Raikage himself was also very aware of this. He nodded slightly and said with a bit of weakness: "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you again, Xiaoyan-san."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Fourth Raikage has a very bad temper.

However, people in the village who have a lot of experience, have made great contributions, or have strong abilities and outstanding talents are still highly respected.

This is the case with the earthen platform.

The same is true for Dr. Xiaoyan in front of him.

He has shed blood and sweat for the Hidden Cloud Village.

Just for this reason alone, Ai, as the Raikage, must respect these people. Not to mention that the Hidden Cloud Village has always been very fond of people with special abilities, and the Hidden Cloud Village is also the ninja village that likes to collect all kinds of bloodline limits and special talents.

On the subject of inclusiveness.

The Hidden Cloud Village is definitely the best in the entire ninja world.

This is also why the Hidden Cloud Village has been able to remain strong and has been the second largest ninja village in the ninja world for a long time. If it weren't for the deep foundation left by Konoha, Ohnoki would have lived longer.

It is really possible for the Hidden Cloud Village to punch Konoha and kick the Hidden Iwagakure Village.

However, the current Cloud Village has already ushered in the third major crisis since its establishment (the previous two were the coup d'état launched by Kin Ginkaku and the death of the Third Raikage in battle).
"No, this is what I should do. Well, I'll be rude first, Dodai, and don't delay the Fourth Hokage for too long."

Doctor Koiwa, with completely white hair and beard, bowed slightly to the Fourth Raikage, gave some instructions to Dodai who had just arrived, and then stood up and left the ward.

"Tell me, Tutai, what is the situation now?"

After Yu Xiaoyan left and closed the door.

The Fourth Raikage Ai also looked at Dodai and asked in a slightly low voice.

After taking a deep breath, Dodai briefly told the Fourth Raikage about the series of events that had happened in the past two days, the previous losses of his own ninja village, and the news of the Rock Ninja's massive invasion.

Originally, I saw Tutai coming hurriedly with a very serious expression.

The Fourth Raikage had some guesses in his heart.

But after hearing the exact situation, the Fourth Raikage's heart became extremely heavy. He really didn't expect that because of his choice, which was not considered a reckless choice based on his past experience, he brought such a heavy blow to his own ninja village.

Even with the self-control of the Fourth Raikage, he couldn't help but twitch inside. Having seen many storms in his past, he could still force himself to calm down. After all, no matter how bad the current situation was, it would not be worse than the time when his father had just died in battle. At least the internal environment was still very stable.

More than ten years of service as the Raikage had brought him extremely high prestige. As long as he was alive, the village would not be in chaos in the short term.

This is the confidence of the Fourth Raikage himself.

"Humph, that old guy Ohnoki only knows how to do these things. Let's give up all the frontline positions. There is no need to get angry with that old guy now. Just defend our border. Let Bi go over. That old guy will only stop when he sees the opportunity and will not rush into anything recklessly. I know him too well."

The Fourth Raikage Ai snorted and said.

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

Seeing that his own Lord Raikage could still look at the problem very calmly, Dodai felt relieved.

What the Hidden Cloud Village needs most now is time to adjust.

The Fourth Raikage himself also needs some time to recover.

Don’t think what the doctor says sounds simple.

You just need to rest for a few days before you can be discharged from the hospital.

That only means that the Fourth Raikage does not need to stay in the hospital for further treatment, but it does not mean that the Fourth Raikage has fully recovered. It is not suitable to confront the Iwagakure Village head-on at this time. The strategy that needs to be adopted is the same as it was more than ten years ago, completely abandoning the outside strongholds, including the Land of Hot Springs. If someone really invades, the Fourth Raikage will definitely choose to give up decisively and just defend the border of his own country.

These things that are not of fundamental interest can be given up just like that.

You can take it back anytime and anywhere when you have the chance in the future, so there is no need to be too anxious.

If we could endure it more than a decade ago, there is no reason why we can't do it now.

"What did Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village say? They didn't just give up, did they? Or do they have any demands on our Hidden Cloud Village? And what's going on with Uzumaki Menma right now?"

The Fourth Raikage looked at Dodai with a slightly cold gaze and asked the two questions that concerned him most.
