Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 444 Infiltration and Discovery

Be it in the original work or in this life.

Sheren has fully exerted his subjective initiative and proved that this kid is indeed someone who can be easily fooled. Menma has to be on guard. Before his own cognition has completely permeated Sheren's consciousness and before Sheren has become his own shape, he still has to use Sheren with caution. It is best to use Sheren as a top-level bodyguard, which can not only fully exert Sheren's role, but also control the risks to the lowest range.

Menma has corresponding benchmarks for everyone in the village, and he has a certain idea of ​​how to use them.

"Is the village safe?"

Sheren was slightly stunned, and thought of what Menma said to him when he left the village. The Hikari Village that he now leads is indeed the gathering place of storms in the entire ninja world. Various forces and people are keeping a close eye on them. And what is more important is that the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely do everything possible to destroy Menma's plan.

As the only one who has witnessed Menma's strongest form before, Sheren is very clear that the person behind the scenes is likely to be wary of Menma.

Not to mention now that it has been further strengthened.

Therefore, in this situation, it is quite reasonable for the enemy to take any unconventional measures.

The safety of the village is indeed the top priority.

"That does make sense. Has it been possible to detect the actions of other criminal forces? If I don't take action, Karin, what are your plans? After all, there are two tailed beasts."

Sheren frowned slightly, looked at Xianglin with a questioning look and asked.

Ever since I understood Menma's true wish, I realized that Menma was the one who truly inherited the will of his ancestors, Hagoromo and Hamura, to build an ultimate peaceful world.

Sheren naturally regards Menma as the righteous side to which he belongs, so those who are against Menma are of course all sinners.

This does not only refer to the real sinners who summon the heterodox golems through psychic means, but also to the ordinary human forces that start wars for profit and are unwilling to welcome peace. They are all sinners. This is a view that is easily formed in Sheren's common sense.

And since they have all been defined as sinners.

That would require completely eliminating these sinners both spiritually and physically.

"Don't worry, Toneri-kun. Menma has already made arrangements for this. It is indeed difficult to defeat those Iwagakure troops, but there should be no problem in stopping them and waiting for Menma to come back."

Hearing Sheren's question, Karin spoke confidently.

Just some Rock Ninjas.

If you have the guts, just come out in full force?
They are worried about this and that, and dare not put all their strength on the line. So what do they, the Hidden Village, have to fear?!

Two tailed beast jinchuriki?
Sorry, even if they don't count Toneri, they still have two tailed beast jinchuriki and a Musuke whose strength is far stronger than the one to seven tails.

Now Wuque is able to fully master the power of Wuque. Even if he takes into account the impact of the Ultimate Emotion in the Box of Bliss on Wuque, he cannot fight forever, but he can still fight easily for a few hours. He does not have to engage in the same 'Ultraman-style' battle as before.

Thus.

The invasion of the Iwagakure troop is not a big problem.

"Oh? Has Menma already made arrangements? Then there's really no need to worry. As expected of Menma, everything is under control."

Sheren also showed a look of realization and nodded slightly, speaking in a tone that seemed to have more confidence in Menma than Karin.

Although he is a little older than Menma, Sheren has already believed in Menma from the inside out. As long as everything is arranged by Menma, Sheren thinks it is 100% reasonable and correct.

"So, Sheren-kun, you will be in charge of the village security, and I will handle the front line."

Xianglin nodded slightly and said.

"Ah, now that you put it that way, I understand. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no enemy can cause trouble in the village!"

Sheren also nodded heavily and said.

"Ajun-san, follow the second set of backup plans Menma decided on earlier. Turn on all the settings and tell the troops that our intention is only to stop the enemy's advance. There is no need to fight a bloody battle with the enemy. On the basis of ensuring the basic safety of the ninja village, you must also pay attention to your own safety at all times. Preserving the manpower is the second goal. The positions on the two wings are left to you. I will let Fu cooperate with you. I will let Wuque-kun be responsible for the main attack in the middle."

Xianglin turned her head and looked at Ajun who was also attending the meeting and said.

"Yes, Lord Xianglin, please rest assured that everything has been prepared according to Lord Tianying's orders, and we are just waiting to set off!"

Ah Jun replied solemnly.

It's not just Iwagakure.

Including Konoha, Kumogakure, Sand Village, and Mist Village, as long as it is a ninja village with a little power above the ninja world, Menma has different contingency plans and adopts different strategies in response to the pressure from different forces.

Of course, it is impossible to be very detailed about how to do it, because even within one ninja village, there will be different choices.

It's like the Iwagakure Village. It seems like it's under a mountain of pressure, but in fact it still has some strength left. The stance that the Hikari Village needs to take depends on different situations.

Menma just needs to set a direction, and the remaining details will be left to the on-site commander to decide.

Different from before.

As Guangyin Village continues to thrive.

Menma must learn to trust his companions and delegate power, so that he can rationally allocate and adjust all resources to deal with all enemies.

"Very good, then pass on the order, including to Wuque and Fu. The enemy must be intercepted in the Tianxi Mountains for at least a week."

Xianglin slammed a location clearly marked with a red circle on the map placed on the table and said in a loud voice.

We can let the Rock Ninja in. This is a strategic retreat, but there must be a limit. After all, this is their sphere of influence. Fighting on the home front has its advantages, but it also has obvious disadvantages.

They must isolate the enemy within a certain range.

If it is further exploded.

Their ninja village, and even the entire country will fall into turmoil. As I said before, the so-called great power style and momentum of the Hikari Village are all "blown up", supported by Menma, and it does not really have a very solid foundation.

They must paste such a slightly fake outer layer that cannot be punctured. Once punctured, it will explode instantly.

Not only Menma himself knows this, but Karin, Shibuki and others below also understand this very well.

Following the plan made by Karin and the orders passed down one after another in an orderly manner, the few remaining light ninjas in the village also took action.

The battle in the western area already occupies nearly half of the strength of the ninja village, not to mention that Menma also transferred a part of the strength of the eastern area of ​​the ninja village later. Now the number of ninjas that can be dispatched from the Hikari Village to fight is less than two thousand. But seeing that the leaders are Muku and Fu, and Ajun is in the middle of coordination, the morale of the Hikari ninjas is still very high.

Their belief in victory will not be lost to anyone, as long as it is before they are really defeated.

Just like the front lines in the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers, if Menma had not gone to support, or the support had not been timely, the western area of ​​the ninja village would have definitely collapsed completely, and those Light ninjas who were only Grass ninjas a few months ago would have relapsed and surrendered in large numbers.

This is definitely not an exaggeration.

If the West Division collapses, it will bring about a chain reaction, driving the East Division into a terrible vicious circle.

By that time.

Menma really needs to consider whether to choose another path again.

I can only say that fortunately Menma's judgment and support were decisive and timely enough.

Now it is Karin's turn to judge the safety of the eastern area of ​​Hikari Village. Facts have proved that Menma's arrangements and Hibiki's on-the-spot judgment were wise and correct.

The supporting troops left the ninja village under the central support of the A army and joined up with Wuque and Fu, who had already left the ninja village and were stationed in an important area, just as they were preparing to resist the incoming Iwagakure army.

At the southernmost part of Hikari Village.

It is the one that exists outside the hidden passage behind the waterfall.

Jiraiya has already arrived here.

"There really is a barrier here, with corresponding sealing techniques and guards."

Jiraiya's diffused perception, the chakra fluctuations that could be clearly captured, a hint of thought flashed in the pupils of this Konoha hero.

This was also something that could have been predicted long ago.

It is extremely strange that the Takigakure Village did not set up any barriers or guards on this road.

That simply means they don't take the safety of their own ninja village seriously.

It is no wonder that Takigakure Village has continued to decline over the years, which is reflected in all aspects of the problem.

Later, when Menma took over the entire Takigakure Village and merged the two villages, he made different adjustments and repairs to the different problems in the two ninja villages. His goal was to make the Hikari Village catch up with or even surpass the level of the five major ninja villages in all aspects.

Jiraiya had already investigated and prepared for this.

Originally he thought that since Menma was not there, he could sneak in very easily. Now before he arrived near the village, he saw a large number of light ninjas coming, and Jiraiya was even more delighted in his heart. The further weakening of the defensive force meant that his chances of sneaking in successfully would become higher.

"I hope everything goes well."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and took a completely hidden position, making sure that the light ninjas could not detect even a trace of chakra.

"Psychic art!"

He bit his finger directly and summoned a dark green toad, which then opened its mouth.

He swallowed Jiraiya in one gulp.

He jumped directly towards the rather large waterfall and immersed himself in it. He passed through the outermost layer of the barrier without any chakra fluctuation, and Jiraiya's presence was not revealed at all.

None of the light ninjas guarding the surrounding areas noticed the toad that sneaked in quietly.

It was easy to break through the outer line of defense.

Not long after.

This toad entered the eastern area of ​​Guangyin Village directly through the secret passage under this level of waterfall.

A toad that moves freely in the shadows.

There must be people who have not seen it. Even if there are civilians or ninjas who see this toad, no one will pay attention or doubt it, because it is just an extremely ordinary toad. Only the most top-notch perception ninja can detect the extremely weak chakra aura on this toad.

A dark green toad was moving back and forth in all directions.

When it quietly came to a sparsely populated corner, its big mouth opened immediately, and the next second, an arm stretched out from it. Soon, Jiraiya, who had been swallowed by the toad before, reappeared.

The art of hiding the toad.

This is an ability that belongs only to this Myobokusan Toad. It can hide anyone in its body and move around at will.

It's not like Jiraiya is incapable of breaking through that barrier and getting rid of those guards, but this will inevitably attract the attention of other people in the village. Even if he can hide for a while, it definitely won't last long.

Jiraiya couldn't even determine Naruto's approximate location at the moment, so he needed time to search slowly.

So this infiltration method is the most suitable for him.

Now it seems that everything is going well and no one has discovered it.

"Very good. In this case, I should have plenty of time to search. Shikaku's previous intelligence indicated that the probability of Naruto being in the east of the village would be higher. Let's start the search from there."

There was a hint of determination in Jiraiya's pupils.

"untie."

After canceling the spiritual magic, he was about to turn around and head directly towards the eastern part of the village.

"So there really are people who can sneak in. You guys are really bold and daring."

Suddenly.

A clear voice came from behind.

Jiraiya's body couldn't help but stiffen.

next second.

When Jiraiya turned his head, he saw a handsome young man in white clothes with white eyes coming into his sight, and felt an extremely strong chakra fluctuation coming from the young man in front of him. Jiraiya also showed a shocked and astonished expression.

"Hyuuga clan!?"
