Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 526: Silence before the Battle

No drag at all.

A figure who left very decisively.

Sheren raised his eyes, and although he wanted to take action for a moment, he did not do so in the end.

There is no special reason, I just simply don't want to take action.

Just a guy who claims to be a humanoid tailed beast.

He simply couldn't arouse the slightest interest in Toneri, unless Kisame wanted to die himself, or Menma had given instructions at the beginning, otherwise, Toneri really didn't take a small fry like Kisame seriously.

"He's a member of Akatsuki, you're just going to let him go?"

Sasuke, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Toneri and said.

"Heh, it's just an insignificant mouse. I'm in a good mood today. Since he's so tactful, why not let him go? Since you've already taken care of it here, let's go back. Menma should be leaving soon. That's the important part. Don't delay Menma's business."

Sheren still had that nonchalant expression on his face, and said nonchalantly.

In Sheren's eyes, apart from Menma, the only big sinner was the psychic demon statue.

Because if you want to communicate with the outer path demon statue, you must have the Samsara Eye.

Those are the eyes that only the ancestors of Yuyi possessed.

This alone is enough to prove how powerful that great sinner is. Apart from that, the rest of the people, sorry, in Sheren's eyes, are just a group of grasshoppers on the ground.

Say it.

"whoosh"

After taking a deep look at the twelve o'clock direction, Sheren lightly tapped his feet and quickly returned to the Hikari Village.

Sasuke also snorted a little unhappily, but didn't say much. He still carried Itachi and followed closely behind Toneri and flew away.

And that was when the two of them left one after another.

in a distant location.

"whoosh"

A completely white figure suddenly emerged from under the ground.

It was a White Zetsu who was assigned here to supervise the battle between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

Madara didn't care about the fight between Sasuke and Itachi.

He allowed Itachi to handle his own affairs at the important moment before the plan started, only because he saw the shadow of himself and Izuna in Itachi and Sasuke.

No matter who wins.

It doesn't affect the spots.

This Shura of the Ninja World only has the Moon Eye Project in his eyes.

His opponents were only Hashirama Senju and Menma Uzumaki, and the rest? Even if one of Sasuke and Itachi obtained the Eternal Eye, what would happen?
Your own peace plan is the right path.

This is the true righteousness.

Therefore, when Black Zetsu came to report the information, Madara didn't take it seriously at all. This White Zetsu was specially arranged here by Black Zetsu.

"Oh my, it's actually Uchiha Sasuke who won. Tsk tsk, I thought Itachi had a better chance of winning. Hey, that guy's eyes just now were really scary. Has he discovered me? Forget it, forget it. Let's go back and report the situation here."

The expression on this White Zetsu's face fluctuated extremely exaggeratedly several times. After saying this while shaking his head, he dived directly into the ground and disappeared.

An appetizer before the battle.

Not many people paid attention to it.

Especially for the Hidden Leaf Village at the center of the storm.

Even though this border town is located in the suburbs of the Land of Fire and was once the most important commercial and trading point of the Hidden Leaf Village, no ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village would pay attention to it.

because.

Two days ago.

Menma represents the moment when the Hikage of Light Village responds to the invitation of the Hikage of Leaves Village represented by the First Hokage.

All the focus of the Hidden Leaf Village is on the Valley of the End.

Inside the Hidden Leaf Village, all the ninja clans followed the previously established plan and sent out the most elite group of their remaining members.

Although the combined combat power is only around three thousand.

But the weakest people are all Chunins who master the bloodline limit or corresponding secret techniques of their clan.

The Hyuga clan almost came out in full force.

The head of the Hyuga clan, who has not left the ninja village in the past ten years, Hyuga Hiashi will personally lead his clansmen into the war this time.

The best young people in the clan, led by Hinata and Neji, will also go into battle together.

This is enough to prove how confident Japan is in this battle.

The remaining ninja clans of all sizes, such as Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Kurama, Inuzuka, Yamashiro, and Shiranui, also deployed their main forces.

They all firmly believed that in this war, Konoha would be the final winner.

They are led by the first generation of the Ninja God.

Below are the second-generation ninja, the third-generation ninja, Jiraiya-sama, White Fang-sama, Tsunade-sama and other powerful ninjas who are famous in their own ninja villages.

The most luxurious lineup ever.

If this isn't enough to win.

There is no justice in the world.

"Aniga, all preparations are ready and the time is almost up. We can set off."

In the Hokage Building, in that exclusive office.

Tobirama looked at his elder brother who was standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window at the back of the office, and spoke with a solemn expression.

On both sides, Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade, Sakumo, and the two advisors were standing there.

"Do I have to prepare like this? Tobirama, we are going to negotiate, not to fight. If you do this, you will show no sincerity at all."

Hashirama said as he looked at Tobirama with a frown on his face.

"Anika, this is necessary preparation. Being willing to negotiate and being able to succeed in the negotiations are two different concepts. We must make relevant preparations. What's more, you have also seen the intelligence in the past two days. The other party has not given up the preparation for war, and has laid it out openly for us to see. This is a very obvious attitude. Anika, you can't be so naive about Uzumaki Menma. He is a guy as scary as Madara."

Tobirama shook his head and said firmly.

In high-level warfare.

Naturally, the ordinary ninjas below cannot play a big role.

But Menma Uzumaki is not the only one on the opposite side, he also has to consider the problem of the entire Hikari Village.

My eldest brother can fight against Menma Uzumaki in a one-on-one duel.

But they need to deal with the remaining enemies.

Recruiting the elite from various major ninja clans, with their own basic strength, combined with the clan's powerful secret techniques or bloodline limits, can play a certain degree of restrictive role even on beings at the level of the tailed beasts.

Tobirama always considers and analyzes issues from a comprehensive perspective.

Uzumaki Menma is dangerous.

The ultimate danger.

And don’t be fooled by the fact that Tobirama compares Menma and Madara in his words and deeds, but in fact, what Tobirama wants to say is that Menma is ten times more dangerous than Uchiha Madara!
Yes, Tobirama really thought so.

I just feel that the threat level of a fifteen-year-old boy is far greater than that of Uchiha Madara in the past. To put it bluntly, apart from his strength, there is nothing to be afraid of about Uchiha Madara.

There was a time when the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were hostile to each other.

The only Uchiha that Tobirama values ​​and fears is named Izuna.

Ever since Izuna died.

Tobirama felt fearless in front of such a big Uchiha. Madara was a simple-minded guy with strong limbs. He was really very strong. If he was slightly weaker, even if he was still stronger than Tobirama, Tobirama would have ten thousand ways to get rid of this Shura of the ninja world. Madara, as the head of a clan, couldn't even take an Uchiha with him when he wanted to leave Konoha. This was very telling.

But Uzumaki Menma is different.

Tobirama could definitely smell an extremely strong scent of danger from this young man.

Strength is one thing, and means are another.

In just three years, he integrated two ninja villages and recruited so many powerful companions.

He further developed and expanded the ninja village under his command.

Until today.

The five great ninja villages were almost dependent on him for survival, doesn't this show how terrifying Uzumaki Menma is! ?
In Tobirama's eyes.

This is the terrifying combination of Madara + Izuna.

No matter how cautious and meticulous the attitude is, it will never be too much.

As I said, my eldest brother will be responsible for the brute force issues, and the rest of the brain-intensive parts will be left to me.

Although Tobirama is not as exaggerated as Izuna, he is almost equivalent to the external brain of the entire Uchiha clan.

But in the hundreds of years of history of the Senju clan.

Tobirama's scheming and methods are definitely first-class.

After decades of living with his elder brother, Tobirama has long been accustomed to this pattern.

"Is it the same as Madara? If that's the case, it would be easier to handle. To be honest, Tobirama, Madara and I..."

When it comes to spots.

Hashirama was obviously cheered up and was about to talk endlessly about the deep friendship between himself and Madara.

"Alright, Anijia, we have to deal with Uzumaki Menma now, so just listen to me. Anyway, as long as the negotiations don't break down, I will definitely not do anything rash, you can rest assured about that. But everything needs to be fully prepared."

Tobirama didn't give his elder brother any chance to say more. He just changed the subject and spoke in a deep voice.

"Oh? Well, in that case, there is no problem. Haha, how can I not believe you when you say that? Tobirama, you have been the smartest among us brothers since we were young. I will definitely believe you, hahaha!"

Hashirama can simply be described as single-celled.

Even if the topic was changed.

Hashirama also seemed unaware of it. He laughed and patted Tobirama's shoulder, saying happily.

Jiraiya, Mito Kado En, Tsunade, Hiruzen and others on both sides had seen a similar appearance to their legendary first generation master before, but at this moment there was still a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

Before seeing it with my own eyes.

Who could have thought that the first Hokage of Konohagakure, who was so powerful in the ninja world, would have such a cheerful and even nonsensical personality?
"Then it's settled. The specific assignments will be as previously agreed. Anijia and I will go meet that Uzumaki Menma first, and you will lead the team and wait behind, depending on the signal from this old man."

Tobirama turned his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Jiraiya and others and said.

Here, the door room is the largest.

Even his eldest brother has to listen to him.

"Yes, Second Grandfather (Second Generation Master)"

Hiruzen, Tsunade and the others immediately responded in unison.

"Then let's go."

Tobirama's eyes narrowed and he spoke in a slightly low voice.

"Yes!"

The Hidden Leaf Village is ready.

Even after many defeats.

Countless of his companions were killed in battle or captured.

But as long as he saw the figure of his own first-generation Hokage standing in the front position, wearing crimson armor.

The ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village who accompanied the battle were all in high spirits.

In the queue.

Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Hinata, Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten, Shino, Kiba, Sakura and others are considered the best of the new generation of Konohagakure Village, and without exception they all participated in the battle.

Each of them has his own persistence.

It can be said that they are the youngest among the people who joined Konoha this time, and they are also one of the few ninjas under 20 years old.

"Set off!!!"

A large group of people filed out of the main gate of the ninja village.

Countless people were already standing on that long street, and many civilians were vying to look out from the houses on both sides.

On their faces, in their eyes.

What was revealed was the infinite trust in the previous Hokage and the earnest expectation for victory in the war.

"You must return victorious!!!"

"Shodai-sama, I leave everything to you."

"Long live Konoha!!!"

"I must win."

"Please bless our Konoha."

'Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory! '

Every citizen, as well as those Konoha ninjas who were not allowed to fight, were thinking secretly in their hearts.

Decades of glory.

Victory in the three Ninja World Wars.

The pride of the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

They are still deeply rooted in the hearts of these ninjas.

And the face is numb.

This is the mentality that needs to be broken.

It was almost when the main force of Konohagakure Village set out, in Takikuni, in the eastern district of Hikari Village.

At Menma's instruction.

The light ninjas are also ready for battle.

Although Menma will not carefully select the combat power of the ninja village like Tobirama does (the important thing is that he does not have the capital, after all, the foundation is still the original Taki ninja and Kusanagi, and the best of the best is just like that.)
But there are too many prisoners in custody now.

Menma must leave some necessary combat forces in the village to be responsible for supervisory work.

You have to know that those are five-digit prisoners.

No matter how complete the prison facilities are or how positive the prisoners' mentality is, necessary personnel still have to be left behind.

Otherwise, it would be deliberately inciting these prisoners to cause trouble.

To know.

so far.

Only those jonin and some selected strong chuunin wore those chakra limiting equipment. The Hidden Village did not have that much stock for the vast majority of the remaining captives.

and so.

Menma left behind at least one third of the Light Ninjas, and three others including Suigetsu, Shibuki, and Wuwei to be responsible for supervision and security.

With such personnel configuration, the potential risk of unrest among the prisoners can basically be eliminated.
