Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 390: The Intention of the Card

Does what Axing said make sense?

The answer is yes.

Shikaku can also make a clear judgment, but a very critical issue here is whether Konoha has the ability to do this. As the de facto co-head of the Ino, Shikaku, and Chou clans after the death of Akimichi Tofu, and also the squad leader of the Jounin class, Shikaku, who is trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade, knows too well the current strength of his own ninja village.

Doesn't Shikaku know that forcibly demolishing the Hidden Light Village and taking back the Nine-Tails is the most important thing the Hidden Leaf Village should do?
But should and can are two different things.

Not to mention that our own Hokage and Lord Jiraiya are both beings with a certain degree of hesitation.

Taking various considerations into account.

At this stage, the most important thing is to reach a peace agreement with the Hikari Village.

They, like Konoha, need a relatively stable period of time to recover.

"Haiyi, let's start searching. We can't drag it out any longer. We must proactively solve this problem before the light ninjas."

Shikaku exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice.

If there is any choice.

Shikaku didn't want to use violence against his companions, even if they were the Root Heat who followed Danzo's orders, but they were all ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village.

But the current situation forces Shikaku to take strong measures.

Yu Lujiu's words had just fallen.

"boom!"

"boom!"

On both sides.

Kakashi and Might Guy also stepped forward at the same time, wanting to cooperate with Haiyi and attack Axing directly.

The Qi is firmly locked.

This feeling of oppression was clearly felt.

Ah Xing's expression also changed slightly.

He was just a special jonin, and a ninja who was good at perception techniques. He couldn't defeat any of the four people present.

But even so.

Ah Xing still directly assumed a fighting stance.

at this time.

There were extremely rapid footsteps coming from the corridor not far away.

After a while.

Comparing it with the approaching figure.

"Shikaku-san, outside the inn, there is a light ninja who claims to be here under the orders of the Tenkage and wants to meet with you."

A hurried voice followed.

The moment I heard this sentence.

The expressions of the people present changed slightly.

"Ah Xing, I hope you won't continue messing around. Telling the truth is the best choice. Of course, it's probably too late now."

Shikaku took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

"Keep an eye on him, Haiyi, Kai, Kakashi, come with me."

"Ah, don't worry, Shikaku."

"Ok!"

Kakashi and the other two on one side responded in unison.

Immediately.

In addition to leaving Yamanaka Inoichi and Might Guy to continue guarding Axing.

Shikaku also took Kakashi and walked quickly towards the front hall.

When Shikaku and Kakashi arrived, the tall and straight figure of Muque came into their sight in the empty space in the front hall.

This is not the first time that Shikaku and Kakashi have seen Musou.

But every time they met, their hearts would tense up, not only because after arriving at the Hikari Village, they knew clearly that Musque was the guy on the battlefield who was highly suspected to be an artificial tailed beast, the incarnation of a black monster with huge flesh wings.

It’s also because Wuqiu’s eyes seem to be able to easily see through people’s hearts.

Just by meeting Wuque's gaze, his heart would be shaken to a certain extent.

Even ninjas like Kakashi and Shikaku, who have been through many battles and have extremely rich life experience, are no exception to this.

"It's impolite to visit you so late at night, but I'm here on orders. I hope you can bear with me."

Looking at Shikaku and Kakashi who had come closer.

There was a faint smile on Wuqiu's lips as he spoke those words lightly.

It's obviously a very common social expression.

But there was a heavy gloom on Lu Jiu's heart.

"No, Lord Wuque would come at this time, it must be something very important. I wonder what Lord Tianying said?"

Shikaku suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked in a steady tone.

The more this happens, the more we cannot show weakness.

Because the worst has not yet happened.

As long as they are not out to take everything down at once, it proves that there is still room for maneuver.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that there seems to be an ignorant little mouse in your village who has entered a place he shouldn't be. Although it didn't cause any damage, Lord Tianying was very dissatisfied. Therefore, he sent me here to see what kind of explanation your village would give."

Wuque still had a calm look on his face, but the words he said made Shikaku and Kakashi's hearts sink instantly.

Although I was mentally prepared the moment I heard the notice.

But the end is near.

Both Shikaku and Kakashi still found the situation tricky.

The relationship between the two sides was already very disharmonious, but now through such an inconvenient method, they barely managed to achieve a temporary peace.

But it was an accident.

Fortunately.

It's obvious that there's still room for negotiation on the other side.

Otherwise, there is no need for people to come to your house to ask for explanation. They can just come and get the explanation themselves.

At least, if one of the members of this delegation can leave Guangyin Village tomorrow, it would be considered merciful.

Of course, what Shikaku didn't know was.

No matter how much pressure Menma puts on Konoha, even if he doesn't sign the agreement, he can't really force this group of envoys into a desperate situation.

After all, Might Guy is still here. In the Ninja World, others do not understand the power of Might Guy's Eight Gates.

Don't you understand Menma yet?

Just now at Karin's place, the reason Menma didn't say anything was because of Might Guy!
You made someone angry.

Start fighting right in the Hidden Light Village.

Who can resist it?

Everyone, including Menma himself, may be in danger of life or death.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if Menma's Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed superb and can avoid Might Guy's fatal blow, what about the other people in the Hikari Village?
Not to mention Karin, as for people like Yugao, Muku, and Fu, no matter who died, Menma would find it hard to accept it.

Therefore, before Menma himself truly ascended to the level of the Bloodline Network and gained supreme power comparable to that of the Goddess of the Rabbit.

Menma would never push this blue beast of Konoha too far.

But Shikaku didn't know this.

He completely felt that the fate of his group was in the hands of others.

The current moment.

Shikaku took a deep breath.

Try to calm your mind as much as possible and work your brain at full capacity.

Shikaku looked directly at Muku and said in a very serious tone: "Please rest assured, Muku, we in Konoha will definitely give your village a suitable explanation, but this will have to wait until we report to the Hokage. I wonder if your village can be magnanimous and return that rude person to us."

"Return? Lord Shikaku is kidding. Those who commit crimes in our village should be judged by our Hikage Village. Of course, our Amei can be very considerate of everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village, and understand that this rude person was not sent by your village's Hokage. You can still return freely tomorrow. However, whether the agreement we have made can be implemented depends on the decision of your village's Hokage. Some people need to pay at least some price, right?"

Wuqiu looked at Shikaku with an indifferent expression and said those meaningful words.

This made Shikaku and Kakashi's expressions change slightly.

They were of course very clear about the identity of the captured Yamanaka Feng, but the fact that the Hikari Village, or should I say Menma, could learn or guess it so easily was beyond their expectations. The identity of the Root was so secret that even the Fifth Hokage of their own family had never known it.

Such information.

Except for Danzo.

It is impossible for anyone else in the Hidden Leaf Village to know about this at the moment.

Menma can actually do this?
"It looks like it's Orochimaru..."

Only a second later, a very reasonable guess emerged in Menma's brain. After all, no matter how smart Shikaku was, he couldn't have known Menma's ability to predict the future, if we consider it from a realistic point of view.

This is the only possibility.

"Wuqiu-san, can I meet with Lord Tianying? I would like to give him some suggestions."

Shikaku took a deep breath and continued.

"That's not necessary, Shikaku-san. Please report the relevant matters to the Hokage of your village. And tomorrow, please leave the village according to the established plan. If you don't want to leave, then stay forever."

"Keng"

Wuqiu said this calmly, threw down a bloody forehead protector, and turned around and left.

"Please wait a moment..."

Shikaku wanted to stop Wuque from saying anything else,
But Wuqiu didn't give any chance at all.

His figure flashed and then disappeared.

Only Shikaku and Kakashi, both with grim looks on their faces, were left standing there.

"Shikaku, what are we going to do next? Are we really going to leave Hikari Village tomorrow as planned?"

Kakashi, who was sitting in the back, walked up lightly and asked with a serious look on his face.

This sentence is also a double entendre.

It was a question of whether they wanted to give up Shan Zhong Feng completely.

He was also asking them whether they could really leave this ninja village according to the established plan. God knows what Menma's attitude is. Does he not want to damage the reputation of his own ninja village and does not want to take action in the village, but wants to wait until they all leave before taking action?

In that case, there will still be some sequelae.

But at least there is no deviation in the apparent righteousness.

For the ninja world, which is considered to be in a state of "collapse of rituals and music", this is already a decent operation.

Kakashi was really worried that Menma would do this.

The Hidden Light Village is now very powerful. Not to mention many other things, just the Immortal being just now is not someone that the members of the delegation can easily deal with, not to mention those other terrifying guys.

"Although I really want to talk to Menma again and see the result, judging from the current situation, it is best for us to leave directly. Menma is obviously well aware of Danzo's existence, as well as some problems in our village. I guess Menma's idea is to kill with a borrowed knife, or he just wants to confuse our sight temporarily, and he has no other ideas."

Lu Jiu took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said.

Shan Zhongfeng must give up.

Not to mention that it is obvious that Menma will never let Yamanaka Feng go. The only thing is that Yamanaka Feng is from Danzo's side, and any unauthorized action will directly threaten the safety of their entire delegation.

Shikaku was really not willing to save him.

As for the issue of leaving the ninja village.

Lu Jiu didn't think that Men Ma would attack them. The reason was simple. Things like righteousness, status, and face depended on the occasion, the timing, and the object. Lu Jiu didn't think that Men Ma needed such things.

After all, the Hikari Village has already fought with almost all the ninja villages above the ninja world, so there is no need to care about these things at all.

Therefore, if he wanted to attack them, Wuque could have directly brought the army of the ninja village to surround them. Was it necessary to inform them in such a "tender" way?

Therefore, Shikaku could boldly judge that Menma had absolutely no intention of attacking them. As for what Menma's specific intention was, Shikaku could guess it almost exactly. It must be that Menma had learned about the mess in his own ninja village through Orochimaru, and was very clear about the role Danzo played in his own Konohagakure Village. He planned to use this opportunity to influence and shake the stability within their Konohagakure Village.

To gain a necessary buffer period for their Hikari Village, or to gain opportunities for other uses.

It should be said that apart from the fact that Shikaku made a wrong judgment about Menma's source of information, he made no mistakes in the rest of the judgments.

Family members really know their own business.

This time, Menma adopted an open and aboveboard strategy, which was a major problem that was difficult for their Hidden Leaf Village to avoid.

You can't really attack Danzo, right?
It's not that Shikaku is going to 'look down' on his own Hokage.

It’s really because the current situation in their ninja village is a little too complicated.

"You mean Menma's intentions are on Danzo's side?"

Shikaku just mentioned it lightly.

Kakashi was able to react.

Kakashi was a member of the Anbu directly under the former Hokage and was personally involved in Danzo's dispatch of Root members to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The filthiness of these ninja villages.

Kakashi knows everything.

"Yes, so we should return to the village as soon as possible. This time, the situation can only be judged by the Fifth Generation. No matter what decision is made, it is likely to affect our Konoha's future situation in the Ninja World. I just hope that the impact can be controlled to the minimum range."

Lu Jiu sighed softly, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky outside the hall, and a ray of morning light that was about to appear, and then he spoke softly.
