Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 374 The Deadly Threat
Anyway, it is impossible for Ma to understand Konoha's actions.

Not to mention sending such an envoy, even the fact that Konoha would agree to come was far beyond Menma's expectations.

Isn't it the most likely option to refuse or remain silent?
What on earth are going on in these people's minds?

There is really no way to get the noodle soup.

Just like the villains in the original work, whether it is Nagato or Obito, their own actions are full of strong self-contradictions, and it is even more bizarre that they were persuaded by Naruto later.

To put it bluntly, these two guys directly lowered the style and grade of the "villain BOSS".

The more normal BOSS characters are Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke.

At least that's what Menma thought in his previous life, because the thought processes of these two people are understandable, except that the former is like someone who has been deceived to death, while the latter is a little too naive and believes whatever others say.

Menma wanted to try to understand these people's train of thought with his own thinking, but all he could say was NO ZUO NO DIE.

Just thinking about it for a short while, my head started to hurt a little.

I really can’t figure it out.

"Karin, you will be in charge of the Hidden Leaf Village delegation. Remember, you must pay special attention to the leader, Nara Shikaku, and the Konoha Jonin named Might Guy."

After frowning and thinking for a while, Menma turned to Karin and spoke in a very serious tone.

These two people, one represents intelligence and the other represents force.

They were all beings that Menma felt he had to face with the utmost caution.

"Nara Shikaku, I can understand that he is indeed known as the top thinker in the ninja world, but this Might Guy seems to be just an ordinary jonin who is good at taijutsu, right? Menma? Why should we be especially wary of him?"

Unlike Kakashi, Shikaku, Kaiichi and others in the Hidden Leaf Village who are quite famous in the ninja world, Might Guy is indeed a senior ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village, but he does not have much fame in such a big ninja world.

Karin would have a certain degree of understanding, that's because Might Guy is the Jonin in this Konohagakure delegation.

It was impossible for Karin to understand why Menma was so afraid of her.

It's impossible that this guy is stronger than Kakashi, a jonin who became famous in the Three World Wars?

Kakashi doesn't even have the qualifications to hold out for a little longer in the hands of his own Menma. A mere jonin who's good at physical skills shouldn't be a big deal, right?

But Menma took the instructions so seriously, is there really something special about this guy?

"Don't underestimate this Might Guy, Karin. If this guy really unleashes his full strength, even I could be killed. But his power comes at the cost of one's life."

Menma took a deep breath and said with a more serious expression.

“What!? Is this Might Guy so powerful? Can his physical skills reach this level? Or does he have some special ability, like a bloodline limit or something like that!?”

When Karin heard Menma's words, her expression changed instantly.

The Xianglin of today is no longer the Xianglin of the past.

Not only did he take the initiative to learn and understand a lot of things, but also because he stayed with Menma, experienced a lot of things and saw many strong people.

From the initial Konoha pursuit force, to Orochimaru later, then Ōnoki, the Fourth Raikage, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Mei Terumi, Jiraiya, as well as Muque, Fu, and Habaka, Karin thought she had a very comprehensive understanding of the strength of these 'Kage-level' powerhouses above the ninja world.

Although Menma learned that there was a hostile organization hidden in the darkness, and that the leader and members of that organization all possessed terrifying strength, Menma always took it very seriously and showed a very vigilant look, but he never said such dangerous words.

Karin can clearly see that Menma is not joking, but this Might Guy is really that powerful!

"Well, it's pure physical power. This Might Guy has an unparalleled talent in physical skills. It's no exaggeration to say that he should be the most talented in physical skills since the emergence of ninjas thousands of years ago. His secret technique is enough to kill me. That is the Eight Gates Ninja Formation that has been passed down for a long time in Konoha. It is a technique that relies on breaking through the eight gates of the human meridians to obtain the ultimate power. In all the years since the establishment of the Hidden Leaf Village, only Might Guy has mastered this technique completely!"

Menma nodded and said solemnly.

"The Eight Gates Ninjutsu? I have heard of this technique, but doesn't it say that after fully opening it, one can only gain power that rivals the Five Kage? Does such a force really threaten you, Menma? Even if it is really strong, don't you still have the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Diamond Sealing Technique?"

Xianglin frowned and asked in confusion.

"No, this greatly underestimates the power of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu. But it's normal to say this. After all, no one has truly brought out the strongest side of this technique so far. Maybe even Might Guy doesn't know where his limit is, because once you go all out, there is no way back. This is a power that is obtained at the cost of life. Just remember, Karin, even if it's the Flying Thunder God Technique, this guy can forcibly interrupt it if he fully activates the Eight Gates Ninjutsu. This guy is definitely the most powerful person in Konohagakure, and even in the entire ninja world!"

Menma said word by word.

This is not an exaggeration.

Regardless of whether Madara was careless in the original work, or whether he intended to play a trick on Might Guy from the beginning.

Anyway, the result was that Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation almost kicked Madara to death. These were what Madara himself said.

Even if it's a little exaggerated.

But Madara-sama's miserable condition was real.

After absorbing the Ten Tails, Uchiha Madara had perfectly entered the Six Paths level and was infinitely close to the life level of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, but he also had the same ending.

Can anyone else withstand Might Guy's full-strength attack of the Eight Gates?!
Don’t even mention Ye Kai.

Xi Xiang is enough to kill everything in seconds. If Menma really encounters him now, he can only rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique to gamble on that glimmer of possibility in the dark.

There may be a one percent chance of avoidance.

Maybe not.

Since they had never actually fought, Menma couldn't make a true judgment.

But the threat posed by Might Guy is real and present.

"The strongest person in the entire ninja world who paid for his life?"

At this moment, Xianglin's expression became more solemn than ever before.

She had no doubt about the truthfulness of Menma's words. Since Menma said that the Eight Gates Formation mastered by Might Guy was so powerful, Karin would believe it 100% and would not ask why Menma was so clear about such a question when others, or even Might Guy himself, were not clear about it.

Unconditionally believe in Menma and obey Menma without any limits.

This has become a mark engraved deep into Xianglin's soul.

"Then I understand, Menma, I will definitely be careful!"

Xianglin nodded again and emphasized it.

"Well, you just need to know it yourself. Don't spread this news for now. Once our experiment can successfully take that step, the future will ultimately be in our own hands!"

Menma also continued softly. "Yes, don't worry, Menma! I know the severity of the situation."

Xianglin also said with a tense face.

"Well, it's up to you and Shibuki-san to greet the Konoha delegation."

"Yes!"

The delegation coming forward.

A welcoming strategy is set in advance.

As the last ninja village delegation to arrive, and currently nominally still the largest ninja village in the ninja world (regardless of its past reputation or its current size and heritage, after all, in the war with the Hikari Village, Konoha cannot be considered a failure, at most it was a strategic abandonment and retreat, at least that's what the outside world thinks.)
The arrival of the Konohagakure delegation is bound to attract everyone's attention.

Just as Menma had thought before.

Many people do not think that the Hidden Leaf Village will send an envoy, and the silence of the Hidden Mist Village is what these people think the Hidden Leaf Village should also do.

But I didn't expect that the Hidden Leaf Village would still send people.

And it is the largest one in the delegation.

The names of Nara Shikaku and Hatake Kakashi alone are enough to attract attention. They graduated from the ninja school at the age of five and became jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village at the age of twelve. This record has not been broken by anyone so far.

Not to mention that since he became famous after the Three Wars, the number of senior ninjas from various countries who have died at the hands of Kakashi is as high as double digits.

Of course, compared with Kakashi’s own father, the gap is still more than a little bit, but looking at the entire ninja world, Kakashi can be regarded as a veritable high-end existence in the pyramid.

Not to mention Nara Shikaku.

The arrival of such a delegation group, with such delicate relationship and at such an inappropriate time.

People from all countries certainly have ample reasons to pay attention to and speculate on the intentions of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Some people with malicious intentions even hope to see more "exciting" scenes appear at this special ceremony.

"Is this the original Takigakure Village?"

The delegation from the Hidden Leaf Village arrived on the afternoon of January 1, the last day before the celebration, half-escorted and half-supervised by the border light ninjas.

Standing at the main entrance of the newly planned and rebuilt ninja village.

among the team.

Shikamaru also looked up at the words "Hikage Village" deliberately carved above the huge arched gate. The information he had learned about Takigakure Village before, as well as what he saw on the battlefield later, and most importantly, Menma's appearance, emerged in his mind. A hint of strangeness also appeared in Shikamaru's pupils.

Something that must be said.

Shikamaru has a certain hatred towards the Hikari Village and Menma.

After all, his father almost died in the previous war.

Although he survived by chance, the missing arm would never come back. Even with Tsunade's level of medical ninjutsu, it is impossible to really regenerate a person's severed limb. Only someone who truly masters the power of Yin-Yang Release can do this, because at that level, he is no longer a human being.

Death is exempt.

What's more, it's just a broken arm! ?
The reason why Hashira and Naruto in the original work were unable to recover their broken arms after the final battle was simply because they did not truly master the power of Yin-Yang Release (it is also possible that they deliberately did not recover, but the probability of this is almost impossible). Although their combat power level was reached with the help of the Six Paths Sage.

But it is only at the level of combat power.

It doesn't mean that you have truly entered the realm of "God".

Naruto too.

Sasuke too.

They are just the same as ordinary humans, including the former Otsutsuki Hagoromo. The fact that they died of old age proves that Hagoromo has not really set foot in that realm.

However, this old man should have no problem treating a simple broken arm.

Because he can use Yin and Yang to escape.

The same goes for Madara-sama!
Therefore, Shikaku can either be a one-armed hero for the rest of his life, or accept a mechanical arm.

Shikamaru naturally has reason to hate the Hikari Village headed by Menma.

It's just that Shikaku didn't die after all, and this war was initiated by Konoha. The reason is no longer important. Ordinary people can't see through it, so how can Shikamaru not understand it?

This is an inevitable result of the natural difference in position.

It's just that his father is not dead yet, so Shikamaru can have a relatively calm mind to look at and consider these issues.

It must be said that in certain specific situations, the smarter people are, the more they can feel helpless and the more they can understand what true powerlessness means.

"This gate is really magnificent..."

"Is this the Hidden Light Village?"

Choza and Kiba, who were following closely behind Shikamaru, also widened their eyes. Hinata had an indescribable and complicated look on her face. She really hoped that Naruto was still alive, but she was also very afraid that this hope would be ruthlessly shattered.

I had been looking forward to and couldn't wait to come to the Hidden Light Village.

Now that she reached the door, Hinata stepped in with fear.

Neji, who was standing side by side with Hinata, also had a complicated look on his face at this moment, and the previous scenes emerged in his mind.

'Uzumaki Menma...'

They couldn't help but murmur Menma's name in their hearts.

"Everyone from Konoha has come from afar, thank you for your hard work. On behalf of Lord Amei, I welcome you all to our Hikage Village!"

At the main entrance.

Shikaku and his group arrived, led by two light ninjas.

Shibuki and Karin were also waiting here in advance. No matter how fierce the previous war was, it did not affect Shibuki and Karin's smiling faces at this moment.
