Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 355: Three-tailed Isobu
A perfect stealth plan. For this purpose, Obito even went so far as to mobilize a group of White Zetsu in advance and let them sneak into the Hidden Mist Village. Starting from the bottom, he would deal with some of the not very strong Mist Ninjas, and then let the White Zetsu simulate their chakra and directly change into the appearance of these Mist Ninjas. With the sophistication of White Zetsu's disguise technique, no one in the Hidden Mist Village could discover it.

You have to know that this is a technique where even the Byakugan cannot detect any unusual changes.

Not to mention other means of perception.

He doesn't need too many. As long as he can replace the most critical positions of the Mist Ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Mist Village will be completely under Obito's control.

"Wow? The efficiency is still very high. Well, there's no need to worry about those people for now. I'll deal with the things on hand and take action myself. Without those guys this time, I want to see if that old guy can stop me from taking control of the Hidden Mist Village!"

Obito first nodded with a look of satisfaction on his face, then, as if he remembered something not-so-pleasant in the past, a grim look flashed in his pupils and he spoke in a cold voice.

Seven or eight years ago, Ao used his Byakugan to see through the illusion he cast on Karatachi Yagura, thus breaking his control over the Hidden Mist Village. This was something Obito had always kept in mind, not to mention that the Hidden Mist Village had always been a thorn in Obito's heart.

Because in Obito's view, the Hidden Mist Village must bear absolute responsibility for the death of his beloved.

Now there is another opportunity to regain control of the Hidden Mist Village.

This time, Obito is determined to squeeze out all the remaining value of the Hidden Mist Village, and then send the Hidden Mist Village directly into the abyss of destruction.

In the peaceful dream world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the scum of the Hidden Mist Village have no right to enjoy it.

They are only worthy of being pawns for his own use.

Kirigakure Village.

It is the last trace of dark evil in human nature in Obito's heart.

"Yes, Master Madara, I will follow your orders."

Black Zetsu also smiled deeply.

The cold laughter that echoed in the dim room for a long time also added a sense of eeriness.

Different plots, different influences, and different developments. Menma certainly could not have imagined that his "accidental birth" and his different choices would lead Obito to make such a different decision.

But not knowing does not mean not anticipating.

To be more precise.

When Menma decided to leave the Hidden Leaf Village and not follow the path of the prince in the original novel, it was clear that the following plot would be very different from the original novel.

The only thing I can still use is the information about each character in the original work.

Plot?

It has already changed beyond recognition.

No matter what choices the five major ninja villages will make, or the actions of the Akatsuki organization, or the decisions of Obito and the bigger boss, Black Zetsu, none of them can be predicted.

Menma can only and must take one step forward and look three steps ahead while making a careful plan, and make timely adjustments and different judgments based on different situations and different encounters.

Not to mention Obito's actions here.

After getting rid of the White Zetsu, Menma headed south at a very fast speed and met up with Kabuto Yakushi, who was waiting for him at the other side as Menma had asked him to do. He then boarded a small ship that Orochimaru had arranged in advance and headed east along the southern sea, heading straight for the Water Country.

Menma has two targets this time. The first target is Hokuroko, and the second is Sanbi Isobu, who had gained freedom earlier and has been living quietly somewhere in the Water Country for several years.

For your own plan.

Menma also needs the assistance of this tailed beast.

The reason why no action was taken before was because Menma couldn't remember the details of this plot in the original work. I don't know whether he forgot it or the original work didn't explain it at all. Anyway, in this life, Menma really doesn't know where the Three-Tailed Fox is.

It could only be left to Orochimaru to mobilize his intelligence personnel to search.

It also took a full year.

This is how the location of Sanwei Isobu was truly confirmed.

This time, the facial numbness came out and was dealt with all at once.

It took more than two days to set sail and head eastwards before Menma and his party finally arrived at the territory of the Water Kingdom.

The tailed beasts die and take years to regenerate.

The location of rebirth is said to be random, but it does not mean that it is random at any location in the entire ninja world.

There are still some traces to follow.

For example, this three-tailed rockfish likes quietness and water.

In the thousands of years since he was separated from the Ten-Tails by the Sage of Six Paths, he has spent most of his "beast life" in the vast ocean.

The few times they died, they were resurrected in this area.

Changes in the sea.

Thousands of years have passed.

This area is all within the coverage of the Water Kingdom.

Only the Mist Ninjas could easily identify and capture the Three-Tailed Isobu. Several years ago, Yagura Karutagi, who was the Fourth Mizukage, had been controlled by Obito for so many years that his mind had long been exhausted. When Aoki saw through him, Obito still controlled Yagura Karutagi and fought a fierce battle with him.

Therefore, even after the illusion was lifted, Karuta Yagura still had no way to survive, and he couldn't even delay for a while.

In such a short time, the Hidden Mist Village naturally could not find a suitable candidate to be the new Three-Tails Jinchuriki. If they randomly extracted the tailed beasts to seal them, it would instead stimulate the tailed beasts to riot. Therefore, under the decision of the master.

They watched helplessly as the Three-Tails temporarily disappeared due to the death of Yagura Karutagi, but the Hidden Mist Village, which was familiar with the characteristics of the tailed beasts, was able to more or less grasp the approximate location of the Three-Tails after the Three-Tails was resurrected by Isobu.

Originally, the master planned to wait until the village's vitality was further restored, and then find a suitable jinchūriki before capturing the Three-Tails again.

It's just a matter of waiting a little longer.

Unfortunately.

The Master, or should I say the Hidden Mist Village, can no longer wait for the right opportunity. A tragic defeat has destroyed all the vitality that they had finally recovered over the years. Not to mention that Obito has now set his sights on the Hidden Mist Village again. Even if they want to give the Hidden Mist Village a stable environment to recover, it will take several more years, or even ten years.

And now that Menma has arrived, the Hidden Mist Village is likely to lose this opportunity forever.

Even one day in the future.

Either because of Obito or because of Menma.

It is possible that the Hidden Mist Village simply ceased to exist.

"It's in a giant lake ahead. Our people detected a huge amount of chakra there. After rechecking, we can basically confirm that the Three-Tails is there."

On top of a mountain.

Yakushi Kabuto stood beside Menma with a respectful look, pointed to a huge lake in the distance, and spoke softly.

A lake that looks very ordinary.

But when Menma used his full strength, he could clearly sense that there was another world beneath the lake. It was certainly not something like the entrance to the spiritual world. It should be said that the nine tailed beasts had never lived in the so-called spiritual world since their birth. They were still above the ninja world, looking for an environment they could adapt to and like.

There is a deeper space beneath this lake.

It is not known whether he had it from the beginning or whether Sanwei Isobu created it using his own ability.

It is impossible for ordinary people to spot the three-tailed isobushi lurking below.

Basically, ordinary ninjas would not be able to detect him until Isobushi himself showed up. It was by chance that Orochimaru's men encountered Isobushi coming out of the lake to take a breath, and were able to accurately lock onto Isobushi's specific coordinates.

"Very good, then leave it to me to handle from now on. Dousang, you don't have to go over there."

After being able to accurately lock onto Isuo's position.

Menma also showed a satisfied look and nodded slightly, then turned to Yakushi Kabuto and said in a light tone. Hearing what Menma said.

A faint strange color flashed in the pupils of Yakushi Kabuto, and he still said with a touch of respect: "Master Menma, the three-tail is not just under the lake. Orochimaru has also given special instructions and sent a subordinate who can resonate with the three-tail's chakra. Otherwise, let me take this subordinate with you. In this way, it will be easy..."

"Are you teaching me how to do things, Dou-sang?"

Yakushi Kabuto hasn't finished speaking yet.

Menma said calmly with a slightly cold look on his face, his hands placed behind his back.

Clearly no pressure was released.

He just looked at Kabuto Yakushi so calmly.

His expression was no different from before, but at this moment, Yakushi Kabuto's heart skipped a beat, and then an extreme chill spread to his heart, causing Yakushi Kabuto's face to freeze.

The scent of danger can be clearly smelled.

A trickle of sweat broke out on Yakushi Kabuto's forehead. He pursed his lips subconsciously and stopped talking abruptly.

It's like being shrouded in fear.

The atmosphere gradually became eerie.

Yakushi Kabuto's breathing seemed to become rapid.

"Haha, Dou-sang, don't forget your duty, understand?"

And that's at this moment.

Menma smiled gently, which immediately dispelled the gloomy atmosphere, as if he felt free all of a sudden.

Pharmacist Dou suddenly felt relieved.

After taking a deep breath, Yu quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, thank you for your teachings, Master Menma. I will definitely keep it in mind."

"Well, that would be great."

Menma looked at Pharmacist Kabuto with an indifferent look.

"whoosh"

With a push of the foot, a burst of chakra burst out.

With a flash of his body, he left the spot and flew towards the giant lake in the distance.

Only Kabuto Yakushi was left standing there. He waited until Menma's figure went far away before he dared to straighten his body again and looked at Menma's back from afar. Kabuto Yakushi wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

Nowadays, facial paralysis is really getting more and more terrible.

With every gesture.

It seems that everyone can feel a sense of suffocation and threat.

Compared with him, our own Lord Orochimaru is really one in heaven and the other on earth, and this has only been less than a year, less than two years.

"Lord Orochimaru, is your decision really correct? Perhaps one day in the future this will backfire greatly..."

Pharmacist Dou was thinking secretly in his heart with a look of deep worry on his face.

Now Menma is showing signs of becoming the number one in the ninja world. Even though the two families seem to have a very close cooperative relationship, it will eventually collapse sooner or later. Apart from other things, there is probably no possibility of any coordination between the two parties when it comes to Uchiha Sasuke.

Kabuto Yakushi knows all too well what his master Orochimaru is planning.

And the relationship between Sasuke and Menma is obviously special.

This is likely to be the biggest cause of direct conflict between them.

Kabuto Yakushi doesn't think that his master Orochimaru will not see this.

But why didn't he have any defenses at all? Or was it that Lord Orochimaru had already prepared for it, but he just didn't know about it?
Pharmacist Dou frowned, his face full of solemnity.

Then, he shook his head and put all these things out of his mind. After all, he was just a small follower, and everything depended on the judgment of Lord Orochimaru.

After letting out a light sigh in his heart, Pharmacist Dou also shook his body and walked away in the opposite direction.

Menma must be dealing with the three-tailed commotion here.

Since they don't want you to get close to them.

Then I will be responsible for patrolling the surrounding areas.

As soon as Yakushi Kabuto left, Menma arrived at the shore of the giant lake, which was within his perception range.

Menma could more clearly detect the huge amount of chakra hidden beneath the lake.

"Isobu, please come out and see me."

Menma took a deep breath, directly attached chakra, shook his feet, and shouted out the words as loudly as possible.

Carrying the sound wave pattern.

It also ripples on the lake.

To the bottom of the lake.

The calm surface of the lake was stirred up by a huge wave of sound caused by Menma's voice.

This is not just a roar of volume.

Instead, Menma borrowed some principles of sound wave techniques and used the vibration of chakra to transmit his voice.

It means to control yourself within the scope to which you belong.

Try to make the target hear your voice as much as possible.

The sound waves then echoed around the lake for a long time, but apart from causing waves, there was no other echo.

The three-tailed Isobu below seemed not to have heard it, or was simply not at home.

No response at all.

This made Menma frown.

"Isobu, I have no ill intentions. You should be able to sense Kurama's chakra. I came here to ask for your help and to help you. Please come out and see me."

Menma took a deep breath, the words that were shouted out once again.

Waves of rippling sound.

It shook the surface of the lake for a long time.

After waiting for another minute or two, there was still no response from Sanwei Isobu.

This made Menma look helpless.

It seems that Isobu is really wary of humans. Even after calling him, this guy just won't come out.

"It seems that I can only use some rough methods. I will apologize later..."

Menma shook his head helplessly.
