Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 478 The Opportunity Given

PS: Damn, I sent it to the wrong person, please pretend you haven’t seen it, I’m so sorry...

Menma just executed Danzo here.

The light ninjas on the battlefield have already entered into the most intense hand-to-hand combat with the allied ninjas.

The light ninjas still have a clear advantage.

Because in terms of high-end combat power, the Hikari Ninja side really crushed the coalition of the three major ninja villages. Musuke suppressed Kakashi, Might Guy, and Choza alone, and Shibuki's incarnation of the Five-Tails violently dispersed the vanguard troops of the Iwagakure Village, even though Akagi and Ganzetsu had already exerted their personal strength to the extreme.

But of these two men, one was barely a quasi-kage, and the other was only an elite jonin, neither of them could stop the full force of the Five-Tails.

The fact that they were barely able to avoid being taken away in one wave was already an exceptional performance by Chitu and Yanjue.

On the other side of the battlefield, Killer Bee's strength is unquestionable, if there are only Fu and Karin.

One Kirabi can probably take down two people.

Not to mention the Fourth Raikage.

Unfortunately, Toneri's presence was enough to suppress Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki. That pair of eyes that had already surpassed the Byakugan, combined with Toneri's simplified version of the Ginrin Rebirth Explosion Technique, was able to blast away the Eight-Tails' huge body with great force, although it was not as powerful as the Sharingan's control over the tailed beasts.

But at Toneri's level, he is only one step away from fully evolving into the Byakugan, the Rinnegan, which allows him to suppress the tailed beasts on a spiritual level.

Hamura also inherited the bloodline of the Goddess of Mao.

It is also based on this point.

Killer Bee was completely trapped in a situation where he was beaten unilaterally. It was because the Eight-Tails was really thick-skinned and worthy of the title of the strongest existence under the Nine-Tails.

Toneri, who has not yet fully evolved his Samsara Eye, cannot really defeat Killer Bee for the time being.

But an important fighting force like Kirabi is missing.

It would be too difficult for the Fourth Raikage to deal with the Two-Tails and the Seven-Tails alone. If it were his father, the Third Raikage, it would be about the same.

Defense and attack power.

The Fourth Raikage is not even a little bit inferior to his father.

The most intuitive point is the difference in physical strength. The Third Raikage once had a very fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Eight-Tails.

The man and the beast fought until they were exhausted, and the Third Raikage finally fell down. Before that, the Eight-Tails could not really cause much damage to the Third Raikage.

From this we can see how terrifying the physical strength of the Third Raikage is.

The Fourth Raikage is simply no match for him.

At most, he can fight against the Two-Tails alone, and now he has to join forces with Fu, the Seven-Tails' Jinchuriki.

"Peng!"

In just ten minutes.

The Fourth Raikage was already in a terrible state, fortunately with the assistance of the elite Cloud Ninjas from the Barrier Squad and the Sealing Squad, he could still barely hold on. However, such a battle was bound to not last long, and all they could rely on was the coalition forces to rely on their huge numbers to first defeat or even completely destroy the ordinary Light Ninjas on the scene, and then use the same method they used to encircle and suppress the Third Raikage to eliminate the high-end combat forces of these Hidden Light Villages one by one.

This is the way they can foresee winning.

This was also the strategy that Shikaku and Dodai had decided on before the war.

But there is a big premise here, that is, any battlefield cannot collapse prematurely, especially Uzumaki Menma's place. It is 100% necessary to follow the strategy planned before the war. In that case, let alone defeating Uzumaki Menma, at least Uzumaki Menma must be delayed for several hours. This person is a real mass destructive existence.

The lessons from the past are not far away at all.

There are also precedents for the top ninja world figures such as the Third Tsuchikage, the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, the Fourth Raikage, the Two-Tails and Jiraiya.

In fact, deep down, Shikaku was unwilling to believe that Danzo could restrain Menma or even defeat Menma.

A lot of preliminary preparation work was done at the beginning.

Unfortunately, once the battle begins, many things may not unfold according to their wishes, especially the intrusion of Musashi, which directly hindered the subsequent combat effectiveness of Konohagakure Village, not just Kakashi, Might Guy, and Choza.

There is also a large number of elite ninjas from the Konoha Village who must support the attack on one side and build a more stable defense line.

And the reason why this can be done.

"Open the door!!!"

It was only after Might Guy realized that the six gates could not hold out at all and opened the seventh gate that he was able to once again barely maintain a relatively fragile balance with Satoru, the incarnation of Wuque.

Shichimon Kai, at best, has just touched the edge of Super Shadow. Hirudo's attack is very powerful, able to kill strong Shadow-level beings like Hoshigaki Kisame, who are humanoid tailed beasts. However, he can fight against the powerful monster bred from the Box of Paradise - Satoru.

It still seems a little bit lacking.

Let’s not talk about the attack power for now. In terms of the strength of defense, ordinary techniques in the world can hardly even break through the surface defense of enlightenment.

Not to mention causing fatal harm to Satoru.

None of the three could threaten Wu, let alone the ordinary Konoha ninjas standing by.

Lu Jiu, who was sitting in the central position, had a solemn look on his face.

Because this kind of scene is definitely not what Lu Jiu wants to see. If it goes on like this, even if they can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory, right?
And there is a 100% chance that the opponent's high-end combat power will not be retained.

As long as they go back to rest, the next time they come out, they will be defeated.

Especially when he saw that Danzo was almost passively taking the beating and was no match at all.

Shikaku's heart sank completely.

I've known for a long time that Danzo is unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable.

"Asuma, Haiyi, Zhiwei, Yamato, Hong, please bring some people with me to support Danzo. Uzumaki Menma must not be released. The remaining people from the barrier team and the sealing team will all go with us. We must delay Uzumaki Menma as much as possible, no matter how great the cost!"

In the intervals between confrontations.

Through special information transmission, Shikaku called back all the outstanding jonins in the Hidden Leaf Village, such as Sarutobi Asuma, Aburame Shiwei, Yamato, Yuhi Kurenai, and Bizuki Raito, who were fighting with the Light Ninjas.

Although these senior ninjas are distributed on other battlefields, it is easier for them to suppress ordinary light ninjas.

But the most important thing now is Uzumaki Menma.

If Uzumaki Menma was allowed to free up his hands completely, they wouldn't have to fight this battle at all. He was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and who knew he would transform into a tailed beast at any time. If they didn't hold him back, who among the people present could withstand the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball? ?
Especially Yamato.

This senior ninja who was specially arranged by Tsunade to be under Shikaku's command is actually the only ninja in the village who can use the Wood Release of the former first-generation Hokage. Although the gap in level and power is very obvious, no, they are not even comparable.

But it’s Wood Release after all!

It should have a corresponding inhibitory effect on the tailed beasts!

"Ah!" "No problem!"

"I understand!"

"Don't worry, Shikaku-senpai!"

These senior ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village all gathered together the moment they received the notification from Shikaku.

In the back were hundreds of elite ninjas from the barrier squad and the sealing squad who had been summoned.

Later, these people will set up corresponding barriers at the corresponding time nodes, and use sealing techniques to restrict Menma's actions.

It's just a pity.

Danzo's "useless" degree was far beyond Shikaku's expectations. He originally thought that Danzo, who boasted so much before the battle, should be able to hold on to the immortal Jiraiya for a little longer, even if he was not his opponent? (From Konoha's perspective, Jiraiya was seriously injured and his chakra was severely depleted. Naruto was also held back by a Byakugan boy, and consumed a lot of chakra, before he was easily killed and defeated by Menma.)
however.

It was just when Shikaku had summoned Asuma, Yamato, Zhiwei, Haiyi and others to support the nearby position.

Then Danzo was seen rushing straight towards Menma.

next second.

Menma dug out his eyeball with his fingers, and then, with a swing of his sword, Danzo, the senior elder of the Hidden Leaf Village and the commander-in-chief of the front line, was torn apart in front of Shikaku and other jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village! !

It looked like Menma killed Danzo easily without even using any of his strength.

The alarm bells in Lu Jiu's heart suddenly rang.

Especially in the next second.

Before Menma casually took out the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, which was obviously from Danzo's eye socket, and put it into a glass bottle, he looked over at them at the moment their eyes met.

Shikaku seemed to feel a huge mental pressure coming at him.

At the same time, he felt a chill all over.

"!?"

Shikaku himself was subconsciously shocked and took two steps back.

"Haha, it seems like we are all old acquaintances, Shikaku-san and Haiyi-san. Your arrival with such fanfare actually makes me, as the host, seem a little rude."

It only took less than a second.

Almost in the next second when their eyes met.

Menma flashed and came directly to the close position of Shikaku and others. The words that seemed to be spoken with a smile, compared with the cold aura emanating from Menma, made Shikaku, Haiyi, Asuma, Yamato, Zhiwei and others on the opposite side subconsciously tense up.

They are totally not on the same level.

It was just like the moment when Kaguya appeared in the original work, and brought comprehensive spiritual intimidation and suppression to Haruno Sakura.

This is not even on the same order of magnitude, or even on the same dimension.

Even at close range, he could feel Menma's enormous chakra pressure.

Lu Jiu and others could clearly feel what "despair" meant.

"Menma Uzumaki."

Asuma, Lei Tong, Hong, Zhiwei and other senior ninjas who have had varying degrees of contact with Minato, when they saw Menma's face that looked very similar to Minato, a hint of complex emotions emerged in their hearts.

This should have been the strongest pillar of their Konohagakure Village.

He could have become the guardian of their Konohagakure Village.

But now it has come to the point of going to war, and even a life-and-death fight. This is an extremely ironic thing.

"For the sake of our past friendship, I can give you a chance to make your own choices. Here, surrender unconditionally. I can promise to protect the lives of each of you. As long as you don't mess around, your relatives and friends will not be harmed. Don't worry, I'm not a tyrannical person. Except for the fact that some people must pay the price, I can treat everything else as if it never happened. The premise is that you know what's good for you."

Menma looked at Shikaku, Haiyi and others with a calm expression and spoke slowly.

He is no longer the same person he used to be.

Revenge that is purely for venting emotions has no meaning or value.

Moreover, the values ​​and education that Menma received in his previous life would not allow him to seek revenge without bottom line. If he wants to retaliate, it has to be equal. It is like if someone slaps him in the face, the most he can do is slap the other person twice, but it is impossible for him to kill the other person because of this slap.

That is not so-called just revenge, it is just a simple murder.

Not to mention these senior ninjas in front of him, who actually have no rift or hatred with Menma. The most they do is just stand by and watch his situation. Is this also a mistake?
After all, these people are at most Minato's subordinates or ordinary friends. They have no absolute obligation or responsibility to take care of Menma, including Kakashi before, in such a big village like Konohagakure.

To be honest, there are only two people who have an absolute obligation to take good care of Menma.

Those are Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya.

The former is the Hokage of the Ninja Village.

From common sense, the son of the sacrificed hero must be taken good care of. This is his basic responsibility as the Hokage.

The latter is Minato's teacher.

He is a mentor who is as close as a father and son.

It can be seen from the way Naruto addresses Jiraiya in this life that the relationship between them is almost like that of a grandfather and grandson.

Is it justifiable for a grandfather to not take care of his grandson, or for the grandson to be in an awkward situation?!

This is completely unjustifiable.

and so.

Menma had no problem killing Jiraiya.

You have not fulfilled your obligations and have repeatedly obstructed me, so it is only natural for me to kill you.

As for Lu Jiu and others, it’s different.

Menma really wants to build a peaceful new world. If possible, he naturally hopes to reduce unnecessary bloodshed and hatred. Only in this way, when the world is unified, people can integrate into the same big family more smoothly.

Nara Shikaku is an even smarter person.

Menma is also willing to give smart people more opportunities.

There are only a small number of people in the Hidden Leaf Village who need to be cleaned out, and the rest, especially the ninjas from the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame and other clans, can still be treated kindly.
