Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 316 Brothers Meeting
There was a loud thunder.

Almost as soon as the Konoha ninja finished speaking.

Jiraiya, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up suddenly with a look of shock on his face. Kakashi, Shikaku, and Haiyi, who were sitting on the side, also suddenly had serious expressions.

"What!?"

Jiraiya's voice also increased by several decibels.

"How could Naruto escape? Aren't there two ANBU assigned to keep an eye on Naruto at all times? What on earth are those guys doing?"

Because of worry.

Jiraiya rarely showed a hint of anxiety.

He knew his kid's temper very well, and he also knew how dangerous the level of his condition had become.

younger brother?

No.

In the eyes of that young man who had long gone against Konoha, anyone who had anything to do with Konoha and who stepped on Konoha's position were enemies that he had to eliminate, right?

Jiraiya could fully imagine how dangerous the situation would be if Naruto encountered Menma.

"Shikaku, Kakashi, immediately arrange for people to conduct a carpet search, especially to block the border areas. We must not let that bastard Naruto mess around!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath and immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"

Shikaku and Kakashi responded immediately.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The footsteps that stepped out quickly.

Both of them left the main tent at the same time.

Following from that.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Inside the camp, there were hundreds of Konoha ninjas, under the command of Shikaku and Kakashi, flying out one after another.

A comprehensive search and interception was launched in all directions.

And at the same time.

In the Takigakure Village stronghold dozens of miles away, Menma was directing the Takigakure ninjas to further strengthen the defensive measures.

Especially on the barrier.

A large defensive barrier is difficult to set up in a short period of time, let alone the Taki ninja below, even Menma now finds it difficult to do so. After all, his main goal is to improve his personal strength. In his daily research, techniques such as barriers and seals are always put last.

Improving your personal strength as much as possible is the top priority.

Therefore, Menma was unable to set up a large defensive barrier, but he could set up some small linked barriers to block attacks.

And other special barriers that exist in conjunction with mechanisms and traps.

However, a lot of research has been done on Menma.

It was also taught to the Taki ninjas in the barrier class below, although it still could not reach the ultimate level of sophistication.

But it can still play a basic defensive role.

At this juncture, we can add as much intensity as possible.

Better than nothing.

All kinds of ninja tools were deployed under Menma's orders without any cost, and the same went for detonating tags.

As long as we win, all the efforts will be worth it.

But once we are defeated.

What you save now will become someone else's money and become meaningless.

At this crucial step, Menma will not allow any problems to occur.

"Lord Menma, the barrier deployment is going smoothly."

"Master Menma, the trap has been basically set up!"

"Lord Menma, the advance reconnaissance and frontline security personnel have also been dispatched one after another."

"Lord Menma..."

"Menma-sama..."

Orders were passed down one after another, missions were carried out one after another, and it could be seen and felt with the naked eye that Menma already possessed great prestige in Takigakure Village.

Although it has not yet reached the point of completely replacing Shibuki.

But now Menma is irreplaceable in Takigakure Village, and the prestige brought by victory in the war is always the most direct and powerful one.

To put it bluntly, even if Shibuki does not voluntarily give up his position, as long as Menma can continue to win this war, he already has the ability and qualifications to ascend to the throne in a strong manner.

And those Taki ninjas will not have any resistance, nor will they do anything to oppose.

Menma himself is also very satisfied with the current situation.

A special moment brought about by reasonable configuration.

These people are also one of the most important pillars for changing your future and realizing your dreams.

In this world of ninja.

Of course, a person's strength is the most important thing, and as long as he is strong enough, he can indeed change the entire ninja world, but there are some things that cannot be done by one person alone.

And that was exactly what Menma was working towards.

"Well, very good, Duolan, I will leave the frontline defense to you to supervise. If there are any problems, please send a signal to inform me at any time. You must pay attention to the two wings, that is, the news from Shemu-san and Ajun-san. Remember, keep in touch once an hour and never lose contact. Do you understand?"

Menma said with a serious expression.

"Yes, Master Menma, I will obey your command."

Duo Lan also looked respectful and replied softly.

Unlike the other Taki ninjas who simply thought that Menma's status in the village had risen and that he was qualified to participate in the village's high-level meetings, Duolan, who was in charge of investigation, was very clear that Menma was already the de facto leader of their village.

Moreover, he is far more powerful than all the previous leaders and is the most powerful one.

Now all that’s missing is a procedure and a ceremony.

Different from the initial vigilance.

Now Duolan is completely obedient to Menma in his heart, unless Menma leads them to a disastrous defeat.

if not.

The several Takigakure Village ninjas led by Duolan will be forever loyal to Menma just like Suigetsu, Musuke and others.

"Well, then..."

Menma also nodded slightly and wanted to give some other instructions for the time being.

"Menma-sama!"

Suddenly.

In a location outside the base.

A figure flashed over.

It was a handsome blue-haired male Taki ninja. When he came close to Menma, he immediately knelt on one knee and saluted, saying, "There is a blond boy who claims to be your younger brother, named Namikaze Naruto, who has a letter for you."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Menma originally thought it was just a routine intelligence report, but when he heard these words out of the blue, he was shocked.

Menma himself was subconsciously stunned.

Duolan, who was sitting on one side, and Wuqiu, who had been following Menma since the beginning, also showed a slightly strange expression at this moment.

Namikaze Naruto!

They were not unfamiliar with this name, and they were already very clear about the life experience of their Lord Menma. They knew even more clearly that if the blond boy did not falsely claim the name, he was indeed the biological brother of their Lord Menma.

But, at this time, a letter was sent?
Is there any special intention behind this?

Duolan and Wuqiu also fell into deep thought one after another.

Menma's daze lasted only a moment.

Then he took the letter from the blue-haired Taki Ninja in front of him. After opening it, there was only a location written on it.

Almost instantly.

Menma could then understand what Naruto meant.

His stupid brother wanted to meet him alone. "There will always be unexpected developments."

Menma shook his head as if he was amused.

"Duolan, Wuque, the defense of the base is now in the hands of you two. I'm going to be out for a while and won't be away for too long. From what we can see so far, the enemy won't attack today. But if there's any unusual movement, send out a signal flare immediately and I'll be right back!"

Menma made the decision in an instant.

I would like to meet my younger brother.

Let's cut off that last thought right here, and there's no need to worry about the defense of the stronghold after I leave.

Not to mention that Duo Lan and Wu Qu were already there.

The location chosen by Naruto was not very far away, not to mention that Menma also had the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and he had already engraved the corresponding mark in the base.

He could definitely come back in a short time.

Don't need to pay too much attention.

As for the ambush?

Naruto is not a person with that kind of personality. More importantly, according to Menma's Kagura's mind's eye, there is no one in this ninja world who can ambush him!

"Ah? You want to go out?"

When Duolan and Wuqiu heard this, their faces changed.

They all subconsciously thought of the most dangerous possibility.

"This is too dangerous. I think you should be more cautious."

Now the Takigakure Village and the Kusagakure Village cannot lose Menma. This is not only because the two ninja villages have to rely on Menma's combat power, but also because Menma's own existence has become a stabilizing force.

Just like in the early days of the five major ninja villages that were once established.

The first generation Kages are the key to maintaining the village's existence.

Especially for Konoha at that time, the impact of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, when he was alive or dead, on Konoha was completely different.

Not to mention Muque, a subordinate who is completely loyal to Menma.

Even Duolan didn't want to see Menma taking risks easily now, as that would be like gambling on the fate of their Takigakure Village.

"Or if you must go, take me with you as your guard."

Wuqiu paused and then continued.

"Haha, no need, I just need to meet him. Don't worry, I have Kagura's Heart's Eye and Flying Thunder God Jutsu. No one in the Ninja Realm can ambush me. Don't worry, Duolan, Wuque, the defense of the stronghold will be handed over to you two for the time being. Don't let me down."

Menma patted both of their shoulders gently and chuckled.

Although it was a very gentle word.

But one can clearly read the determination.

Duolan and Wuqiu could only nod in agreement.

"Yes, Master Menma."

Moreover, they thought that the special technique mastered by their Lord Menma was indeed very difficult to be ambushed, and the tense nerves of the two men relaxed a lot at this moment.

Do we still need to worry about the strength of our own Lord Menma?

"So!"

Menma smiled.

Following from that.

"whoosh"

On the original place.

After a flash of red light.

Menma's figure disappeared.

Duolan and Wuqiu then immediately threw themselves into their respective tasks. Their reinforcements had just arrived, and the defense reinforcement work of the entire stronghold had not yet been completed.

And on the other side.

Menma used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the camp directly.

In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the wasteland on the northeast side, more than 20 miles away from the camp.

In this area.

Menma left many Flying Thunder God marks.

Ever since Menma mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Everywhere you go.

We will try our best to leave a mark in the appropriate place to ensure that it can be used anytime and anywhere.

His current level of control over this technique.

It is still at the primary stage.

You can't move around as you please.

The corresponding imprint is still necessary.

This is Menma's best way to save his life. As I said before, as long as he can ensure that he does not die, he can start all over again.

There is no need to fear even if your companions die.

Once you can realize your plan.

Becoming a life of the same level as the Goddess of the Rabbit, resurrecting the dead would be a piece of cake.

"whoosh"

As he moved forward, Menma tried his best to release his vast perception power, not missing a single detail of the area around himself.

It only flew for less than ten minutes.

On a hillside quite far away from the two forces, Menma sensed Naruto's familiar chakra.

"Did he really come here alone? Or is he just as stupid as in the original book..."

This is the chakra fluctuation that can be clearly detected.

Unlike in battle, when one cannot concentrate 100% and the range of perception is easily limited by oneself, in this case, when one can spread chakra to explore without restraint, Menma can ensure with 100% accuracy that he is within an area of ​​20 to 30 miles in radius.

There is only the chakra of the two brothers.

"But this is also Naruto's style."

There was a gleam of sharpness in Menma's eyes.

With just a light step.

"boom!"

A huge wave of chakra swept up.

The speed of further explosion.

It was clearly telling Naruto of his arrival.

It was only a dozen seconds later.

We passed another jungle, and then the view suddenly opened up.

The figures locked to each other.

"Menma!"

"Naruto."

Eyes facing each other.

Menma still had that indifferent look on his face.

However, there was a special color clearly revealed in Naruto's deep blue pupils.

There is guilt, excitement, regret, and endless sorrow.

Because even someone as naive as Naruto had realized after that day in the Valley of the End that it was almost impossible for him to persuade Menma to turn back.

All your efforts may end up being in vain.

The probability is only one in ten thousand, or even lower.

But even so.

Just because he is Naruto, for that glimmer of possibility, he still wants to try his best personally to see if he can reach it.

That's what's in the original book.

The same is true in this life.
