Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 350 Before departure
No one will really abide by the so-called agreement.

That is just like a piece of waste paper. It is basically just an excuse for each side to cease fire and rest. Once the major ninja villages have almost recovered, it will be time for this agreement to be scrapped.

Now Dodai has no hope of reaching any offensive and defensive alliance with the Takigakure Village. He just wants to retrieve the captured Cloud Ninjas such as Yukito and gain a temporary respite.

Therefore, we must not fall out here and must have a good discussion.

"So you mean we need to relax other conditions a little bit? Will Lord Raikage allow it?"

Xi, who was sitting on the side, also asked with a frown.

"Well, this time, Lord Raikage has given me full authority. I can make all decisions. There is no problem with the conditions. Compared with Yukito, what I pay now can be taken back in the future. The most important question is whether I can impress the other party."

Dodai nodded and said, his eyes revealing a very emotional look as he looked out the window at the bustling scene of Takigakure Village.

Xi and Samyi, who were sitting below, also had solemn expressions on their faces.

Tutai and his group are unwilling to give up easily.

And Menma who had already made a decision.

In the next few days, more intense negotiations took place. In the absence of Menma and Shibuki, it was Duolan and Karin who negotiated with Dodai. Since the parties were different, Dodai's words could appear a little more 'radical'.

This is actually a normal phenomenon in negotiations.

In negotiations between countries and ninja villages, even the slightest deviation would mean huge benefits. How could they really sit down and negotiate in a friendly manner? ?
Verbal sparring is the norm.

This is also why it is not appropriate for the supreme leader of any major ninja village to personally conduct the most detailed negotiations. As long as they have not spoken, it does not matter how fiercely the people below quarrel, there is still room for maneuver.

Any foreign negotiations.

The leader just needs to grasp the general direction.

Duolan and Karin also received Menma's specific instructions.

Therefore, when it comes to the matter of the wooden man, there is absolutely no intention of backing down. Of course, we will not say directly that we will not let them go back. We just need to wait for a while. As for how long this period of time is, it is hard to say.

Dodai was also aware of this, and in desperation, he once again contacted the Fourth Raikage, who had already returned to the Ninja Village to recuperate, through special channels. With the final permission, he still reached a final agreement with the Takigakure Village.

After all, the negotiations cannot be delayed indefinitely.

Moreover, the biggest threat to the Hidden Cloud Village is still the Hidden Rock Village. Even though Tsuchidai concluded through a comprehensive analysis that there is a 99% chance that the Third Tsuchikage will not continue to attack the Hidden Cloud Village, and instead they should be wary of the Hidden Rock Village led by Menma, this is still theoretical. If that 1% probability happens, who can they talk to! ?

All of their Hidden Cloud Village's defensive deployments on the western front of the Land of Lightning have been occupied. Although the land area involved is only a little over one percent of the Land of Lightning, this one percent is already fatal because it can radiate to nearly half of the land area in the hinterland of the Land of Lightning.

Not only did their Hidden Cloud Village completely lose the influence of the Western Land of Fields, the Land of Frost, and the Land of Iron, but even their control over the Land of Hot Springs was greatly shaken. More importantly, the pressure on defense in their own country was rising sharply.

During this period of time, in order to rearrange the defense line.

The Fourth Raikage and Dodai's hair have turned white with worry. Next, the Hidden Cloud Village can only go into full defense against the Hidden Iwagakure Village. The other side can attack them whenever they want, and it will be extremely difficult for them to fight back.

Therefore, Takigakure Village cannot continue to tangle with them. After all, it is still a distance away from their Kumogakure Village, and there is no direct border between the countries. If they want to invade? They have to go around two or three small countries first, or start from the Land of Fire.

They can just keep this account in mind for now and deal with it later when their Hidden Cloud Village has recovered its strength.

Based on this, after Dodai stayed in Takigakure Village for a full week, the two sides formally signed a peace treaty, which repeatedly reaffirmed the friendly relationship between the two countries' ninja villages and emphasized the future cooperative relationship.

But this is all bullshit.

The really meaningful part is the development of the local area in the middle of the agreement, as well as some transfer of task shares and the conditions for the donation of materials. This is what the Hidden Cloud Village has to pay. The corresponding condition of the Hidden Takigakure Village is naturally to release the nearly 100 Hidden Cloud Ninja prisoners first. Almost on the day when all the materials on the list were delivered to the Hidden Takigakure, Menma issued the release order.

When these Cloud Ninjas took off their chakra suppression equipment and walked out of the prison, they were still a little dazed.

You know, most of them are prepared to die.

But I never thought that there would be a day when I would be free again.

Dodai also set out on the return journey with these Cloud Ninjas on the same day that all the Cloud Ninjas were released.

As for the rest, the wooden men.

This was not mentioned in the so-called peace agreement.

Later on, Tutai himself did not insist on this point.

No, and it is obvious that no specific corresponding benefits can be given, so the issue of the wooden man can only be put on hold for the time being.

Just like how their Cloud Village was extremely hostile to the Iwagakure Village back then, but they could only put their hatred aside and wait until their Cloud Village recovered its strength before taking back the Yubokuto, or to be more precise, the Two-Tails.

The strong prey on the weak; this is the reality of the ninja world. In this regard, the Hidden Cloud Village is the one that sees it most clearly, because they have been implementing this philosophy from beginning to end.

The diplomatic actions of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Taki Village served as a junction. During this period, the ninja villages of various countries also launched diplomatic explorations for their own interests. The core point was naturally the Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village.

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village are now completely powerless.

Their only option is to wait silently for the opportunity to come. Before that, they can only choose to lick their wounds silently.

Regarding the interactions between these ninja villages in the outside world.

Menma naturally still showed a certain degree of concern.

These people and these ninja villages will become his enemies in the future. Even if he can't gather 100% intelligence, at least he still has to grasp the most basic movements.

Especially Konoha and Iwagakure Village.

It is even more important.

This is almost an open confrontation situation. Just as the powerful Konohagakure Village would definitely attract the attention and siege of various countries, the 'Takitsuna Alliance' led by Menma would definitely become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of Konohagakure and Iwagakure.

There is no need to say much about the former.

The latter is a arbitrary decision made by the elderly.

Ōnoki still wanted to create a once-in-a-century prosperous era for his Iwagakure Village, but Menma's existence had become a huge obstacle.

However, that is a confrontation that will come in the future.

At the current point in time, Kumogakure, Mist Village, and Sand Village need to recuperate, the Iwagakure Village needs to consume the dividends won in the war, the Konohagakure Village cannot fight alone, and Menma also needs time to carry out his own plan.

The ninja world is once again welcoming the end of the year and entering into precious peaceful time. Menma can finally free up his hands to make his next important travel plans.

In the easternmost underground secret room of Takigakure Village.

"It seems that there are not too many problems with the activation of cells. The next step is further testing. As long as the reagents for the second test can be obtained, the plan to extract the tailed beast can be launched." In front of a laboratory table.

Menma looked at the cell fusion results below and the values ​​displayed on the instrument on the side, and nodded slightly with a faint smile.

"I didn't expect Naruto-kun's cells to be so active? Isn't this a bit unscientific?"

Karin, who was assisting Menma in the experiment at one side, also said this with a look of amazement.

Originally, when Menma first said that he wanted to use Naruto's cells for the activation experiment, Karin thought it was unreliable.

Not even any red hair.

There probably isn't much Uzumaki bloodline left, so what's the point of using it for experiments?
Their current experiments are stuck at the most critical step. If they can go a step further, they can use cell fusion experiments to allow the human body to usher in a new round of strengthening and improvement of vitality.

This is also the focus of Menma’s current experiments.

Xianglin felt that this step might take a long time, and it was even a question whether a breakthrough could be found.

I didn't expect that Menma's brother, Namikaze Naruto's cells could have such active abilities! ?

Although it is still at the initial stage of neutralization and adaptation and may not be truly effective, it is a breakthrough.

"Naruto is quite special. He is much more special than us."

Menma said, shaking his head slightly.

"special?"

Karin blinked and asked, looking at Menma's profile with a hint of curiosity.

How could it not be special!?

That is the reincarnation of the chakra of a guy who lived a thousand years ago. Even if it is only one-fourth of it, it is still the purest bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.

Naruto is also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, and now he has inherited Ashura's chakra. His body is absolutely a sage body.

Of course, there will definitely be a process of gradual adaptation and growth.

This is true for Hashirama Senju and the same is true for Naruto.

It is absolutely impossible to say that one is born with full buffs.

Menma also said that through such a cell activation test, Naruto's "identity" was truly 100% confirmed.

Otherwise, there is no other explanation.

"Nothing. The next experiment is up to you. I'm leaving the village the day after tomorrow, so you don't have to worry too much. Just follow the previous steps to conduct secondary and tertiary neutralization experiments until you can reach today's values."

Cell activation test.

The ultimate goal is to strengthen the body.

The levels of the six realms.

That is the level of all things in the universe.

It is the level of bloodline network.

It is to control all different energy dimensions after the fusion of the most perfect body and the most powerful spirit.

And this is the minimum breakthrough reference standard for this dimension.

They are Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

The two of them are the most perfect 'Indra' and 'Asura' in thousands of years.

Cells between the columns.

Menma is available here.

The comparison test can be carried out easily, and the method is very direct, that is, success is achieved if one does not get swallowed by Hashirama's cells.

If only it could influence and even devour Hashirama's cells.

That would be an even bigger breakthrough.

However, this is obviously almost impossible, because the intensity of Hashirama's cell activity and physical strength have already reached the limit of human beings. Any higher, and he can no longer be considered a "human".

It's a species of another level.

In Menma and Karin's previous experiments, after various intensive tests, they had already reached a bottleneck, and it seemed that there was no possibility of breaking through the upper limit. The current change is a key "qualitative" change.

This is also one of the keys to Menma's future strength.

Of course, there is another secondary goal, which is to better extract the two-tailed Matatabi from Yukito. After all, he had promised Matatabi. As long as he can do it, Menma is still willing to keep Yukito's life.

Experiments to activate cells and strengthen the body.

It can also be used in this regard.

This is why we were discussing the timing with Tutai before.

Menma did not say why he would never return Yukito. As long as he could successfully separate Yukito from Yukito, he would just let him go, there wouldn't be any problem with just releasing him.

Seeing that Menma didn't answer directly, Karin didn't ask further questions, but nodded obediently and replied: "Well, don't worry, Menma, I will definitely meet your requirements before you come back."

"Haha, there's no need to be so anxious. We still have time to take it slowly."

Menma smiled silently, touched Karin's head and said with a smile.

"And don't forget, we'll need that guy's technique for subsequent experiments. Although we got the most basic content from Orochimaru-san, the core still needs to be truly understood by the guy who invented this technique. There's no need to rush the cell experiment. As I just said, just do two or three batches of neutralization experiments. The last step will have to wait until I catch that guy!"

"Yes, I know. Don't worry, Menma. But, is that guy's technique really useful? If..."

Xianglin nodded, then spoke again with a hint of doubt.

"There are no ifs, Karin. Now that it has come to this, we have to try any method. We won't know if it works until we have experimented."

Menma said seriously.
