Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 314: Silence of Preparation

If it really happens.

That could only happen.

It is impossible for Menma to send reinforcements from here to prepare in advance. Although it sounds a bit cruel to say this, as long as he can win here, even if the Kusagakure Village is completely defeated by the Sand Village and suffers heavy losses, it is an acceptable result.

In fact, such a development would be beneficial to Menma's further integration of the power of the two ninja villages in the future. As long as the outcome has not really been decided by him, the Kusanagi ninja would be crushed and defeated by the Sand Village, and then the Sand ninja would threaten them from the southwest.

War is a gamble in itself. No matter which side it is, it is almost impossible to have a 100% chance of winning.

When Ah Jun heard Menma's words, he nodded subconsciously.

"This time is different from the previous ones. Konoha is not adopting a single-point pressure decisive battle, but a comprehensive pressure in the form of encirclement. Therefore, we also need to stabilize the battle lines in all directions. The location is here!"

Menma stood up suddenly, and with a sudden pull, a huge map with different colored marks engraved on it landed directly behind him.

It represents the distribution of enemy and our own strongholds and military forces.

Menma raised a wooden stick and tapped a spot due east on the map.

"Peng!"

Accompanied by a dull sound of falling.

"We need to gather our forces here to build the core of the defense line and block the main forces of Konoha and Mist Ninja on the front line. I will be in charge of the command myself, and then we will set up further defense bases here and here in a V-shaped formation to support each other. Shemu-san and Asun-san, you will be in charge of leading and commanding the work. Wuque will follow me to the central base, and Yugao-san and Fu will be stationed in the middle area to support the two wings and the central battlefield at any time. Unlike the previous battle, this collision is likely to be a protracted war, and I hope you will all be in high spirits!"

Menma's extremely stern eyes scanned the people below one by one.

Then the words fell in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Shibuki, Ajun, Yugao, Wuque, Fu and others also stood up at the same time and responded loudly together.

"Then, gentlemen, let's begin our war!"

Menma said in a serious tone.

"Yes!"

Tasks are divided and commands are clearly communicated.

Various locations of Takigakure Village were mobilized one after another.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

One batch after another of Taki ninjas came.

They gathered again.

Under the leadership of Menma, Shibuki, Ajun and others, they set out at the right time and advanced towards the front line.

This is a war to defend one's own ninja village, and it is also blessed with the halo of victory in the previous war.

The morale of the Taki ninjas was also extremely high.

Even if the opponent is a coalition of thousands of troops from the two major ninja villages led by Konoha.

The Taki ninjas remained fearless.

They witnessed with their own eyes how Menma single-handedly defeated the Fourth Raikage and captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

This time the battle.

They will naturally firmly believe that Menma will lead them to victory.

The advancing Konoha and Kirigakure coalition forces led by Jiraiya, Mei Terumi and others faced head-on the Takinin troops led by Menma.

If we must look at it from a quantitative perspective.

The Takinin represented by Menma is at an absolute disadvantage.

Eight thousand VS three thousand.

And from the current perspective, whether it is the ninjas of Konoha or the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, they are still clearly superior to the Taki ninjas in terms of quality.

The gap to Genin may not be there yet.

But when it comes to the level of Chunin or even Jonin.

Takigakure Village cannot be compared with the two major ninja villages. The difference in value between them is not small.

If I really watch such a showdown.

Takigakure Village is doomed to fail.

But it is also based on this point.

Menma then called over Muque.

Wuque, who can transform into Wu to fight, can offset most of the numerical disadvantage. Yugao, Fu and others can more easily face the top combat forces in the two major ninja villages.

As for Jiraiya, that was left to Menma to deal with.

Jiraiya in Sage Mode.

Menma may not be defeated, but it is also impossible for Jiraiya to defeat Menma. The Flying Thunder God Technique is Menma's greatest confidence at the moment.

What we need to guard against is the super-powerful illusion of the Myoboku Mountain toad.

These are all preventable!
In the huge Konohagakure Village, the only person who really makes Menma feel he has no way to deal with, and he also feels that if he encounters this person with full firepower, there is a high probability that he will be killed by him. That person is the blue beast of Konoha - Might Guy!

Eight Gates Dunjia!

The first seven gates can certainly greatly enhance the chakra strength of the caster.

But the eighth gate of death is the real qualitative change!

Opening all seven doors means that Might Guy can step into the top shadow level, or even reach the threshold of super shadow at most.

But the eighth door!

It can allow Might Guy to briefly gain destructive power almost comparable to the Six Paths level. This technique is not something that has only appeared in recent years, but Might Guy is the only one who can bring it to such a terrifying level.

Once Might Guy appears on the battlefield this time.

There were even some who were planning to use all their strength to attack Menma.

Menma could only passively hope that the Flying Thunder God Technique could dodge Might Guy's attack, but when he thought of Madara's miserable state in the original work, Menma's confidence was not so strong, regardless of whether Madara was careless or not, and whether he had the intention to play tricks on Might Guy from the beginning.

But the outcome is still very real.

Might Guy, who has activated the Eight Gates Formation, has such terrifying destructive power.

This is also the only "singularity" that Menma cannot grasp.

"A fight on the battlefield? Let's see who will have the last laugh!"

On the road ahead.

Menma's pupils were filled with coldness.

And just when Menma's army was almost dispatched, in the southwest, in the border area between the Grass Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

There were also a large number of Sand Ninjas and Grass Ninjas gathered together to confront each other in the air.

All the Grass Ninjas were in a tense mood, ready for battle.

But the Sand Ninja side seemed to have no intention of attacking and were just constantly building infrastructure.

It is also because of the pressure from the Sand Ninjas.

Wuwei, the leader of the ninja village, also came to the front line in person.

As Wuwei continued to listen to the information he had obtained from the investigators, his eyes also fixed.

"It seems that it is similar to what Menma-sama guessed. The Sand Ninjas are unlikely to launch a full-scale attack first. At most, they will conduct some tentative invasions. However, the necessary precautions must still be taken."

Thinking of this, Wuwei also let out a breath of foul air.

Then he issued the corresponding garrison orders in an orderly manner. During this period of time, he had to keep an eye on it personally and did not need to do too much. He only had to make sure that his own defense line was not breached by the Sand Ninjas. As for the rest, Wuwei had to do the same as his own son and choose to trust Menma unconditionally.

Menma's judgment was not wrong.

The choice of doing nothing is also correct.

The Sand Ninjas on the opposite side definitely had no intention of launching an all-out attack. From the time they gathered to the current construction of their stronghold facilities, their entire process had been one of simply exerting pressure. In fact, this was exactly the strategy of the Sand Village.

Konoha offered very generous benefits.

Including but not limited to further division and transfer of mission shares, allowing the Sand Village to infiltrate the southern coastal countries, and providing a large amount of money and materials to help the Sand Village overcome the financial crisis and further develop the local area.

These can be paid upfront.

He even allowed the Sand Village to support obtaining the Two-Tails Jinchuriki if the war plan went smoothly and they could defeat the Taki and Kusanagi alliance.

The negotiation conditions were completely beyond our expectations.

Even Maki, the Kazekage, was completely moved.

The two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo, were equally shocked by Konoha's generosity. These conditions would not have been so easy to obtain in any previous period. Even during the reign of the Third Hokage, when people were a little weak and incompetent towards the outside world, it was impossible for them to offer all conditions.

This time, we will bring out such bargaining chips.

It is enough to see that the Konoha high-level officials headed by Tsunade are 100% determined, and the subsequent deployment of troops is better proof.

It must be said that the wait-and-see resolution that Maki, Chiyo, and Ebizo had previously made was completely shaken.

There is a saying that goes well.

The so-called determination cannot be said to be 100%, but in most cases, it only seems so absolute because there are not enough chips.

Once the weight of the chips reaches or even exceeds expectations.

Those so-called resolutions are something that can be changed at any time.

Maki's inner thoughts perfectly illustrate this point, and the subsequent advance of the Hidden Mist Village became the straw that broke the camel's back for the last bit of hesitation in Maki and others' hearts.

With the consent of Chiyo and Ebizo.

Maki immediately dispatched the most elite part of the Sand Ninjas to the front line, but even so.

Maki also retained his last bit of sanity.

Chiyo also repeatedly told them not to initiate the attack first.

Everything still depends on the front battlefield, and the response of the alliance of Taki and Kusashi Village led by Menma Uzumaki.

In order to be on the safe side, Maki quietly came to the front line himself, for fear that the people below would cause trouble if he was not there.

He wants to take control of this war himself.

The benefits are indeed lucrative enough for the Sand Village to take the risk, but Maki still hopes to keep the risks to the lowest possible level.

"Everything depends on the front line..."

Maki took off his divine robe, put on the long-lost combat uniform and the exclusive vest of the Sand Ninja, and stood in front of the camp. After taking a look at the Grass Ninja stronghold not too far away, his gaze shifted to the farther northeast.

There, there is a clash between the Takigakure army led by Menma and the coalition forces of Konoha and Mist. It may be just like the previous defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village, with the outcome decided in a few days, or it may be a protracted war that lasts for several months or even a year or two.

But no matter which case it is.

Before the results come out or the inevitable trend appears.

Mackey would never actually order a full-scale attack.

"Pass my order, enter the first level combat readiness mode starting tomorrow!"

"Yes, Master Kazekage!!!"

The five major ninja villages were completely involved.

The battle started in Yan and Yun.

Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sand Village all sent out troops one after another.

at this moment.

It can be directly declared that the Fourth Ninja World War has broken out. At this point, the plot in the original work has been completely changed beyond recognition.

What the future looks like.

It's already unpredictable.

And this war in the ninja world will inevitably become the most important turning point for future developments!

This is true for Menma, and also for the five major ninja villages.

The Akatsuki organization headed by Obito and Nagato was also affected to a certain extent.

Specifically, is it positive or negative?

That depends on different people's opinions.

At least for Menma.

Everything now is still within the controllable range, and everything before was developing according to his established wishes. All the luck seems to be bestowed on him.

Now he is about to face the biggest test since leaving the Hidden Leaf Village.

Standing in the front line.

Looking from afar at the arrival of the Konoha and Mist Ninja coalition forces.

Menma was emitting chakra with all his strength. Even from a distance of dozens of miles, Menma could still sense the huge amount of chakra.

In particular, there are several more majestic, powerful and familiar chakra auras.

It must be Jiraiya and others.

'A life-and-death war!'

Menma let out a breath of foul air.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

With a sudden wave of his right hand, countless figures flashed out from behind him and advanced towards the area ahead.

This is not the right place.

Menma will lead the Taki ninjas to advance until they can see the camp of the Konoha and Kirigakure coalition forces.

Apply pressure!?
Mian Ma also knows this.

War is a test of strength and momentum.

When two meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!!!

A large number of Taki ninjas came flying over.

It also directly attracted the attention of the front-line scouts of the opposing Konoha and Kirigakure coalition forces.

"It's the Takinin army! Pass the message back quickly!"

It was clear that Menma had no intention of launching a direct surprise attack as before.

In this area, there was a defensive stronghold built by Menma's previous order. Unlike the last time when he had to seize the rhythm, this time Menma didn't need to give up the geographical advantage.

Even in ninja battles, geographical advantages are limited to this.

But at least it's better than nothing.

There were many traps set up all around.

It can also kill a group of ninjas from Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village to a certain extent. This is a naked advantage and there is no reason to give it up.
