Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 360 Different goals

PS: I am very sorry. I went to the village with my leader yesterday afternoon and came back today. It is on the mountain and the network signal is very unstable. I can’t even send a single chapter asking for leave.

According to the standards of the ninja world, the three chakra auras all belong to the category of strong ones. However, Menma is unfamiliar with these three chakras, which means he has never seen them before. According to Menma's idea, it would be best to just take a detour and return to the village. But Menma changed his mind and took into account some subsequent issues. This is the Land of Rivers, not far from the Land of Grass.

Menma was planning to take a look.

Who are the people fighting?

This is close.

Ok.

The chakra aura is indeed very strange.

But Menma knew all three people who were fighting, and he was more familiar with each one than the other.

Even if this is the first time I see you in this life.

But I can’t resist the familiarity from my previous life.

Especially the two people on the opposite side, the one who was fighting hard and the other one who was roaming the battlefield with an indifferent look, both of them were wearing black-based fire cloud robes, the fighting man had the iconic shark face, and the roaming man had obvious Sharingan in his pupils.

They are the two "strong generals" of Akatsuki.

They are also two guys that Menma is very familiar with - Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.

As for the other person, he did not have many scenes in the original work, but he was at least a stage BOSS, the biggest high-level remnant of the Land of the Sky, who cultivated an artificial version of the tailed beast - Zero Tail, and was an old guy who went by the alias Shennong.

"Are they these three? This is really rare..."

Menma looked at the increasingly intense battle not far away and couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself in his heart.

There is no description of this battle in the original novel. Perhaps it was influenced by the changes in the plot in this life, or perhaps it already existed in the original novel but was not described.

But no matter which one it is.

The moment he saw Shennong, the remnant of the Kingdom of Sky.

An idea suddenly emerged in Menma's heart.

That is Shennong Sang. Menma must also take him back. He is worth a fortune. In the ninja world, if you want to make a ninja village stronger, you can start from many aspects, but the most direct point is to start from the equipment.

It takes time for a ninja to become stronger.

It also takes time to increase the number of ninjas.

The minimum guarantee period is ten years.

Menma doesn't have the time, so he can only use the simplest and most brutal method. The special chakra armor of the Snow Country is one of them. In the past year, Menma has further improved the chakra armor through the efforts of many parties. However, due to the high cost and complex technical processes, there is no way to really produce it on a full scale.

But at least it can allow the ninjas under Menma to form an elite force.

A ninja with chakra armor is a level stronger.

This is beyond doubt.

And now, the current Shennong also possesses the technical ability to bring about a qualitative change in the two ninja village forces led by Menma.

That is the flying equipment unique to the Land of the Sky.

And there is that giant floating fortress in the air.

This is a surefire way to comprehensively enhance the power of the ninja village.

therefore.

It's after a maximum of one second of consideration.

Menma had made up his mind in his heart to snatch the person away from Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.

"This is mine!"

There was a hint of fierceness in Menma's eyes.

"whoosh"

He lowered his body further and crept closer to the area where the three men were fighting. He wanted to strike at the best moment and kill the man with one blow. As long as he could successfully subdue Shennong, all the subsequent problems would be easily solved.

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame are strong.

But nowadays, Menma is really not afraid of fighting two against one.

The figure slowly approached, and seeing that Shennong in the battle group was completely at a disadvantage, Menma's muscles tensed up.

We can’t let Shennong be subdued by Itachi and Kisame first.

Otherwise, it would still be a little difficult to snatch people.

Especially Itachi and Kisame are both considered top Kage-level characters. Kisame is indeed a little inferior, but he has the Samehada sword in his hand.

The combat effectiveness will be infinitely enhanced.

The fact that Might Guy had to open the Seven Gates and use the Day Tiger to kill Hoshigaki Kisame is enough to prove how powerful this guy is.

Although the qualitative change of seven gates is far inferior to that of opening eight gates.

But Might Guy, who has achieved a breakthrough in the Jingmen, is definitely at the top level in the ninja world in terms of personal strength. From this, we can see the strength of Kisame.

Don't forget, when Kisame was killed.

Samehada Daito had already 'betrayed' him.

Therefore, facing such a Kisame, Shennong, who has obviously not yet fully cultivated the Zero Tail, is no match at all. The personal strength of this old guy is at best an elite jonin, which means that he can barely hold on by relying on the characteristics of his own secret techniques and the ability to strengthen his body.

However, under the strong pressure of Kisame.

Defeat is inevitable sooner or later.

The facial numbness can be clearly judged.

This is especially true for Shennong, the person involved.

"asshole!"

A precarious situation.

The smell of death can be clearly smelled.

He was almost unable to handle Hoshigaki Kisame alone, not to mention that there was also Uchiha Itachi who was standing beside him and had not yet taken any action.

He is also a ruthless person in the ninja world.

"Peng!"

After another sudden and heavy blow from the Samehada sword.

"Whoosh!"

Shennong's figure was directly smashed away.

"Boom!"

As Yu Zhongzhong fell on a big tree behind him with a dull crash, Shennong's face changed. After a sweet feeling in his throat, he spurted out a mouthful of extremely thick blood from his mouth.

The aura was also obviously weakened a lot.

"How is it? Have you considered it? Shennong-san, we are here to invite you sincerely on behalf of the organization. As long as you join our organization, not only will your safety be guaranteed to the highest degree, but your research and your goals will also be helped here in the organization. All you need is to help the organization do something in exchange."

Uchiha Itachi, who was seeing this scene from the side, finally stepped forward. With a hint of indifference, he looked coldly at Shennong, who had just climbed up with some difficulty, and said calmly.

Invite Shennong to join the Akatsuki organization.

This is the purpose of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame's arrival.

It was Obito who specifically conveyed the order to Nagato through Black Zetsu, and then Nagato issued the order. This was mainly because of the butterfly effect brought about by Menma. In fact, even if Menma had not defected later, in this life, in addition to Naruto, there was also Menma, which had already brought different changes, not to mention that the current situation in the ninja world is completely different from that in the original work.

Consider future plans.

Obito believes that it is necessary to recruit more members to the organization. Previously, Hiruko and now Shennong are both Obito's targets.

However, the exact location of Hiruhu had just been discovered by White Zetsu, and Nagato had not yet had the time to send people to recruit him.

He was killed directly by Menma.

Shennong here.

So far, it seems to be going very smoothly.

But the arrival of Menma obviously brought about huge changes.

The three people at the scene were obviously still unaware of Menma's arrival. After being severely injured by Hoshigaki Kisame, Shennong heard Uchiha Itachi's questions and the anger in his heart rose up.

invite!?

You call this thing, this method an invitation! ?

Isn't this just naked intimidation?!
Shennong looked at Kisame and Itachi with a hint of anger and ferocity.

It was as if I had heard a huge joke.

But what Shennong didn't know was that forced invitation was indeed the style of the Akatsuki organization. At least the third Tsuchikage's last disciple, Deidara, was semi-forced to join the Akatsuki organization.

Don't want to? Just give him a beating and he'll behave himself! Why bother with other things! ?

This is the Akatsuki organization.

"Hey, join your organization!? What if I say no!"

Shennong snorted coldly, obviously speaking in a very tough and resistant tone.

"Say no? Then I can only ask you to stay here forever, Shennong-san."

On one side, Hoshigaki Kisame, holding a Samehada sword, smiled maliciously.

The murderous intent was revealed without any disguise.

This is the character of Hoshigaki Kisame, the S-rank rebel ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.

Or it should be said that there is no one in the Akatsuki organization who is a good person. Even though they all belong to the same organization, there is really no affection between them, including Hoshigaki Kisame, who merely recognizes Uchiha Itachi.

remaining people?

That's a joke.

In other words, Obito used Madara's name to deceive Kisame.

Such a ferocious person exudes such a fierce look, which makes ordinary ninjas tremble in fear.

Shennong felt a sense of suffocation coming towards him.

But that's exactly why.

Shennong's expression also became more ferocious.

"If you want to stay here forever, then we'll have to see if you have the ability to do so!"

Shennong raised his head and roared loudly.

At that moment, a glass bottle was taken out from his arms, and inside it was a dark purple, reptilian creature that seemed to be slowly crawling.

Without any hesitation, he crushed the glass bottle.

next second.

Shennong shook his right hand quickly.

He swallowed the dark purple reptile in one gulp while Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Uchiha Itachi reacted quickly and formed hand seals in less than a second.

"Boom!"

A powerful burst of flames.

The moment when a huge ball of fire gathered together and approached Shennong in an instant.

"Gudong!"

It fell with a violent expansion sound.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

After Shennong let out a rather shrill cry, his body quickly swelled up like a ball inhaling air.

The tattered collar.

Terrible muscles visible to the naked eye.

There is also the thick purple air surrounding it.

"Peng!"

A fireball bombarded head-on.

The flesh that covers it.

Under normal circumstances, the result would be that one would be completely devoured by the flames.

But Uchiha Itachi had a stern look on his face, no longer as indifferent and calm as before, and his eyes were fixed on Shennong who was wrapped in flames.

as predicted.

Just one second later.

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

In flames.

There was a sudden burst of wild laughter.

"Boom!"

After a violent aftermath of a strong earthquake.

Suddenly.

The flames were directly bounced away.

The exposed figure, Shennong at this moment is completely different from before, his aura has become extremely violent, and the most terrifying thing is the more than ten slender purple tentacles-like evil existence protruding from his face.

There are also layers of special purple hairs covering the lower body.

At first glance, it seems like an inhuman existence.

What’s more important is the chakra aura that surges straight up.

It can be clearly felt that Shennong is now going to become even more powerful. Hoshigaki Kisame raised his eyebrows and looked at Shennong, whose appearance had completely changed, with a hint of surprise.

Menma, who had just sneaked to the side, also showed a hint of surprise. You know, he was about to take direct action just now.

After all, Shennong's attitude shows that it's definitely game over.

But I didn't expect that he had another trump card.

"Isn't that the Zero Tail that is still in cultivation?"

When Menma thought of the purple reptile-like thing he had just seen, this thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

In the original book, Shennong's greatest reliance is that thing.

He also thinks that he can be comparable to the tailed beasts, and even thinks that he has the potential to surpass the tailed beasts.

At this stage, it is obvious that it has not been completely cultivated, but can this thing be eaten raw and then fused together?

Menma's brows also slightly frowned.

But Menma changed his mind and realized that Shennong cultivated the Zero Tail as a tailed beast, and the tailed beast could be sealed into the body of a ninja to serve as a jinchūriki.

Now, Shennong’s practice seems nonsensical, but after all, this was cultivated by Shennong himself.

Very normal!
"It's a special kind of demonization, right? We have to see to what extent it can be stimulated."

Menma muttered to himself as he looked at Shennong who had already taken the initiative to attack.

Menma is here to have fun.

Kisame and Itachi below felt an extremely strong aura of oppression coming towards them. If before, Kisame could easily suppress or even make fun of Shennong, now that Shennong had entered the berserker mode, he was enough to bring a certain degree of pressure to the two of them.

Even a single mistake could result in death.

"Kisame!"

"Oh! I know, Itachi-san!"

A calm call is the meaning that you can get immediately.

As teammates who have worked together for several years, they have a strong sense of identity.

Itachi often just needs a look from Hoshigaki Kisame to clearly know what he should do.

Facing the powerful attack from Shennong.

The two people separated at a very fast speed.

"Humph!"

A chakra wave burst out from Hoshigaki Kisame's body that was far stronger than before.

"boom!"

In the midst of violence.

A chilly atmosphere permeated the air.

Kisame also had a grim smile on his face, and he swung his Samehada sword vigorously, and attacked Shennong who was running towards him with incredible swiftness.
