Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 357 Return and Meeting

They have common interests.

There is another reason that cannot be told, and that is after understanding what Menma knew through the fist bump just now.

Like Jiu Lama, Xi Quan, Chong Ming, and Yu Lu before him, Isobu had a very "stubborn" guess about the identity of Menma.

If it can be confirmed to be true.

Not to mention other things, they are even willing to help Menma unconditionally.

"I understand what you mean, Menma, and I am willing to help you because this is also helping us."

Isofu looked at Menma with a very serious expression and said.

Because they have lived long enough, the tailed beasts can often see things more clearly than any human being. However, almost all humans are unwilling to, or do not think that there is value and significance in communicating with the tailed beasts. Even the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the recognized so-called "peace and philanthropist", did not he regard the tailed beasts as disasters?
That classic line to the Nine-Tailed Fox is the best proof of this.

Not to mention Uchiha Madara.

He completely treats the tailed beasts as beasts, as beings that must obey his orders.

He never even thought about negotiating or discussing things with the tailed beasts in a friendly manner.

That is why there are very few humans who can truly gain the recognition of the tailed beasts. There are only a few of them occasionally, but most of them are just like-minded.

But Menma is very different.

It's not just Isobushi.

And the previous tailed beasts such as Kurama, Rhino-in, Shigeaki, and Matatabi all knew clearly what Menma wanted to do.

It wasn't just to deal with their common enemies.

There is also Menma's promise to the other tailed beasts.

As for whether Menma would deceive them? That is a matter for the future, at least the enemy represented by the current resurrection of the Ten-Tails.

It is the greatest foundation of their union.

The promise of the future.

This must be based on the premise of eliminating these enemies.

"Well, that's great, thank you very much, Isobu!"

Although it is a completely predictable result.

But heard Isofi's answer.

Menma still showed a very happy expression.

This is the fifth tailed beast to join our side.

"So, Menma, how can I follow you? Should I wait for you to find someone to serve as Jinchūriki?"

Isofu tilted his head slightly and looked at Menma with a puzzled look.

Since I have made up my mind to help Menma.

Then he must find a suitable person to act as his loading container. He can't just follow Menma around with this body shape.

It's simply like he's afraid that others don't know.

"You don't need to wait for others to come. Just let you enter my body, Isobu. However, it will only be temporary."

Menma said with a slight smile.

Originally, he had planned to take Karin away from the village, and if everything went well, he would let Karin be the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. Karin was also a person who had inherited the Uzumaki clan's bloodline almost perfectly.

Even becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki like Menma would be more than enough.

Not to mention the mere three-tailed Isobu.

It was just that the experiments at that time, as well as some important political affairs in the village, especially the merger of ninja villages, were inseparable from Karin.

It was naturally impossible for Menma to leave with Karin. After all, even if everything went smoothly, it would take about ten days to go back and forth.

not to mention.

Menma has recently gained a deeper knowledge and understanding of sealing techniques. With his current level of sealing and his own physical strength, he can definitely seal another Isobu into his body.

Even if this is a theoretical approach.

In fact, no one has ever tried it.

But Menma thought there shouldn't be any problem.

"You? Is this okay? Isn't Kurama inside you?"

Thousands of years.

Isofu can be considered a well-informed person. He knows a little about human sealing techniques and the physical strength that can be used to bear the tailed beasts. It is said that one human can withstand the seals of two different tailed beasts.

Isobu is something that has never been heard of or seen before.

But one second later.

Isobu recalled the conjecture that had come to his mind for a moment before, and his eyes seemed to reveal a hint of realization. He nodded and replied, "Then you can perform the spell, Menma."

I wanted to explain, but when I heard Ji Fu's words, I was stunned.

what?
Did you accept it so easily?

Menma blinked, and especially when he saw the realization in Isfu's eyes, he felt even more strange in his heart.

However, at this moment, Menma didn't say much. He called on Isfu to move closer to the shore, and he also flashed to the ground.

He took out several specially made kunai from his arms and threw them with his backhand.

Directly sink into the surrounding land.

"Snapped!"

The next second, he clapped his hands.

That large amount of chakra that was directly extracted.

"Buzz!"

As Menma formed the seal, a special energy wave spread out.

Those kunai suddenly appeared with layer after layer of black rune marks, and with Menma as the core, they directly surrounded the kunai into three circles of rune formations.

"drink!"

With a light shout from Menma.

Great brilliance.

Don't talk about the scene.

Even Kabuto Yakushi, who was a little further away, saw this ray of light, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

The surging chakra can be felt nakedly.

Even though Yakushi Kabuto was so far away, he could sense it clearly.

Not to mention Isofi who was standing on the spot. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him could release such a powerful chakra aura without using the Nine-Tails' chakra.

And it was at the moment when Menma's breath reached a critical point.

"open!"

Menma spread his hands.

The black rune mark on the ground seemed to come alive and extended rapidly.

It spread directly towards the huge body of Sanwei Isobu.

A sense of restraint can be clearly felt.

But Isofu did not make any resistance, but just quietly cooperated with Menma's surgery.

After the black runes covered Ji Fu's entire body.

"seal!"

Menma changed his hand seal again and uttered the words softly.

next second!
A masterpiece of light and shadow.

The space seemed to be shrinking and expanding.

The huge figure of the three-tailed Isobu in front of him emitted a dazzling light, and then turned into a stream of light, rushing straight into Menma's body. The bright shadow flickered.

One second later.

The huge figure of Sanwei Isobu disappeared directly.

Following from that.

Inside Menma's body, in a self-constructed spiritual world.

"Humph, it's already crowded, and yet another person comes in. You really don't mind being too busy, do you?!"

That was the huge metal railing that had long disappeared.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's huge fox head, which was originally lying on its front legs, suddenly raised up, and with a very unhappy expression, it stared at Isofu and Menma who had just appeared here, and said with a snort.

"Hehe, it's just a few days, Jiu Lama, don't worry about it, don't worry about it, they are just some minor problems."

Menma said with a smile.

Isobu, who was sitting on the side, also looked accustomed to it. He smiled very clearly and said, "It's been hundreds of years since we last met, Jiu Lama. You're still the same as before."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the tailed beasts seem to be very familiar with each other.

But even before Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama appeared.

Since not many people can capture them by force and seal them up, the several tailed beasts rarely meet each other.

One is inconvenience, the other is laziness.

For the tailed beasts.

A thousand years is a very long time, so long that they have long lost all interest in this world, including in each other. If I must say, the tailed beasts themselves are actually living in a daze and have no idea what they want to pursue.

All I can remember is what the old man, who was like a father to me, said before he died.

It is also based on this point.

These tailed beasts would look at Menma a little differently.

Not for anything else, just because the 'feeling' is different.

"Hehe, that's what I mean. Isobu is absolutely right. Kurama, you need to work on your personality."

suddenly.

On the far left, a mini rhino appeared, and spoke with an anthropomorphic smiling expression.

"Well, Jiu Lama, it's better to be more stable."

"That's right, don't be so hot-tempered."

Following from that.

Nanao Shigeaki and Nibi Matatabi also appeared in this space in a very miniature appearance.

This is also due to the chakra previously separated from Matatabi, Rhino, and Shigeaki, plus the special connection that already exists between the tailed beasts. With the combination of the two, the tailed beasts can appear in Menma's spiritual world with such a special aspect.

"Humph, aren't you guys the same? What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

Jiu Lama snorted and continued.

"Haha, that's why I said it..."

"I think..."

"I still want..."

In the bottom position.

Menma looked at this extremely rare scene, and the look in his eyes became very gentle.

Just like Xianglin.

These 'beasts' in front of him are also Menma's companions, and are people that Menma can trust, especially Kurama.

Although it is different from the path taken by the prince in the original book.

They may not have had such a deep relationship before, but in terms of trust, they must be no less.

Because Menma is always steadfast, always unique.

"Haha, I'll have to rely on you guys a lot from now on. Our enemies are very powerful. I hope you can lend me a helping hand!"

Menma took a deep breath, and during a break in Yu Jishou's conversation, he looked up at Jishou and spoke loudly.

"Oh! Don't worry, Menma, we will definitely help you!"

“That’s saving ourselves.”

"Hey, then you must not forget your promise to us!"

"Ok!"

"Humph!"

Hearing Menma's words.

Rhinoceros dog, Youlu, Chongming, Jifu and other beasts responded with a smile one after another.

Jiu Lama also responded with a proud snort.

"There are also Shukaku, Son Goku, King Mu and Ushio. Menma, you have to keep working hard too."

The rhino dog crawled closer to Menma and whispered.

"Ah, leave it to me."

Menma clenched his right fist and swung it slightly, answering with a resounding voice.

An extremely smooth trip.

Five-ninths of the task requirements have been completed.

Then he slowly opened his eyes again.

Looking directly at the lake that had returned to its tranquility in front of him, Menma's mouth corners curled up into a beautiful arc.

"It's time to go back!"

Menma looked towards the south, murmured these words in a low voice, and then stomped his right foot suddenly.

His body flashed and a strong chakra burst out, and he disappeared on the spot.

And just when Menma successfully completed his mission and embarked on his return journey, he was in the center of the continent thousands of miles away.

The Land of Fire, the area where the Hidden Leaf Village is located.

In the most central location of this ninja village, which is still considered the largest in the ninja world, on the top floor of the iconic Hokage Building.

The current Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, looked solemnly at a middle-aged man in a crimson ninja uniform.

On both sides, Jiraiya, Shikaku and others were standing.

There was a hint of strangeness in the pupils of these two people at this moment.

The middle-aged man opposite looked calm.

"How is it? Lord Hokage, this is the best condition we can offer. As long as you can agree to it, everything that follows can be discussed."

The middle-aged man looked directly at Tsunade and said with a smile.

"Hmph, are you talking about this now? Why didn't you come before? Sincerity? Well, it does seem to be sufficient, but why should I trust you, the Hidden Rock Village? Iwazetsu-kun."

Tsunade snorted coldly and said with a look of distrust on her face.

Although Konoha had already had two or three negotiations with the Iwagakure Village before today, they were only on the surface. It was not until the arrival of the Iwagakure Village's senior ninja, who was also the head of the famous Kamisui Ryu clan of the Iwagakure Village - Kamisui Ryu Ganzetsu, that they entered into the most in-depth negotiations.

It's obvious that he got full authorization from the Third Tsuchikage.

The proposed cooperation conditions, at least, seem to be very good.

But Tsunade really has reason to doubt the intentions of the Iwagakure Village.

"Hehe, please rest assured, Hokage. We, the Iwagakure Village, are here with sincerity. As long as your village agrees to our conditions, we, the Iwagakure Village, are willing to be the first ninja village to initiate action. How about that? In this case, you should be able to trust us, right?"

Yan Zetsu didn't care about Tsunade's skepticism at all, and still looked at Tsunade calmly and spoke.
