Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 61 Intentions and Questions

It's about the reasons why you must continue to carry out the mission.

He still didn't believe that Kakashi was still that so-called passionate and just person. It should even be said that such words were naturally incompatible with ninjas. Isn't it ridiculous to talk about passion and justice in a profession that exists only for fighting?
In the original work, the conversation between Nagato and Naruto when he invaded Konoha and subdued Naruto has completely revealed the nature of the ninja village and ninjas in this world.

The Three Ninja World Wars were real.

The suffering endured by many small countries is not false.

A ninja like Kakashi whose hands are 100% stained with blood is definitely not a charitable person. There must be a profound reason why he continues to carry out the mission in the Land of Waves.

Although this doesn't seem to be a very important issue, Menma still hopes to figure it out if possible. Otherwise, it would be a bit uncomfortable to keep it in his heart.

But now the opportunity has been taken away by Erzhuzi, so I can only wait for a while.

Anyway, the night is long and there is plenty of time.

Kakashi and Sasuke left quickly and came back quickly. On the surface, Sasuke still looked calm.

It is most likely that Kakashi told Sasuke the truth about the past. After all, it is not something that needs to be concealed.

"Hey, Menma, do you have any questions for me too?"

It was also when I saw the two of them coming back.

Before Menma could say anything.

Kakashi, with his hands in his pockets, looked at Menma with a smile and spoke in advance.

"Uh? Yes, Kakashi-sensei, if you don't mind clearing it up for me."

After a moment of hesitation, Menma immediately responded.

"Well, come on then."

Kakashi nodded and took the lead to walk outside again. Menma also stood up and followed closely.

Naruto and Sakura, who stayed where they were, looked at the departing Kakashi and Menma with surprise.

"Eh? Menma also has questions for Kakashi-sama? Hey, Sasuke, what questions did you ask Kakashi-sama?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a hint of curiosity.

"nothing."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto indifferently, and after uttering these three words, he walked to the windowsill and sat down, not willing to say anything more.

Naruto seemed to realize that this might involve personal issues, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just muttered in his heart, "What a cold-tempered guy."

Not to mention the three people who stayed in the living room.

Kakashi and Menma stepped out of the house and came to the edge of the coast on the left side of the house.

"If I'm not mistaken, you want to ask me why I want to continue this mission, right? Menma."

Kakashi stopped and turned to look at Menma, as if asking a question, but with a firm tone.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei. I won't elaborate on the reasons. The attack from the hostile Jonin from the Hidden Mist Village is a good explanation. It's understandable that Naruto is more passionate. But Kakashi-sensei, you have no reason to do this, right?"

Menma looked directly at Kakashi, not trying to hide his skepticism.

"When I saw your attitude before, I understood. In fact, the reason is very simple. Menma and Wave Country are too close to our Konoha, and the first attackers were the Mist Ninja. With your intelligence, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Strategic location, eh?"

Menma was stunned at first, then seemed to react and replied thoughtfully.

Although it is called a country, the area of ​​Wave Country is really too small. The population of the entire country may not even be tens of thousands. However, its geographical location is too important. For Konohagakure Village and Mist Village, it is an extremely important strategic location.

Especially after the destruction of the Whirlpool Country and the Whirlpool Village, the Wave Country became the most important and most contested bridgehead for the Mist Ninja to invade the Fire Country. Once the Mist Ninja's power could penetrate completely and even control the Wave Country.

The Mist Ninjas can use this as a seesaw to easily invade the Land of Fire. This is definitely something that the Hidden Leaf Village does not want to see.

As a ninja village located in the center of the ninja world, the defense pressure it has to bear is already very great, and now it does not want to continue to increase the pressure on national defense.

Before, Menma's thinking was restricted and he didn't think of this. Now that Kakashi just said this, Menma was able to react.

"Yes, that's what I meant. That's why I had to come here to confirm it. But I didn't expect it to be a traitor like Zabuza. This is indeed a bit unexpected. This is also my mistake."

Kakashi said, shaking his head slightly.

This was indeed the reason, but Kakashi was also very confident in himself. He really felt that with him around, everything was under control, and it would be good to give Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke more training. However, the subsequent progress was indeed beyond Kakashi's expectations.

Although the result of the previous battle was good, if Kakashi had known from the beginning that the enemy would be of Zabuza's level, he would really think twice before acting.

After all, having the ability to provide a safety net and allowing team members to hone their skills is different from putting themselves in danger that they cannot control.

"Rebel ninja? Does that mean you have nothing to do with the Hidden Mist Village?"

Menma then asked.

"Well, at the moment, we can say that, but we can't be completely sure yet, so we'd better stay here for a while, and also escort Daznasan to finish building the bridge."

"Then why don't we go directly to the person involved, Kakashi-sensei."

Menma looked at Kakashi with sharp eyes.

"Hmm? The person involved?"

Kakashi was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, it's the person involved, the big businessman who attempted to control the Wave Country - Cardo. We can definitely get the most comprehensive and detailed information from him, right?"

Menma said with a small smile.

“Well, this is indeed a good choice.”

After all, he is just a businessman.

Kakashi naturally would not have thought of Cardo subconsciously before, but with Menma's slight reminder, Kakashi could easily associate Cardo with the role he played in this incident. Who knows, maybe he really has extremely valuable information!

You have to know that for a businessman like Cardo, it would be very difficult to survive without a certain official background.

This was a very common operation in the world where Menma lived in his previous life, which was the combination of capital and power.

in this world.

Menma didn't think there would be any exceptions.

"So how do you think we should find this Cardo?"

Kakashi said as he looked at Menma with interest.

It's obvious that he had a plan in mind and wanted to test it out.

"As long as Mr. Cardo's goal remains unchanged, it will be easy to find him. And I believe that there must be a 'companion' of Mr. Cardo in this town."

Menma said in a very sure tone.

"Haha, then I'll leave the investigation to you, Menma. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kakashi said with a slight smile.

"Yes, there is no problem at all, Kakashi-sensei, I am just an ordinary person, just wait for my good news!"

Menma raised his head and said confidently.
