Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 69 Report and Interval

"Hmm, it actually involves Zabuza, the demon from the Hidden Mist Village? This is indeed a big surprise..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two sealing scrolls placed on the ground by Kakashi and the beheading sword, and a hint of surprise appeared on his old face.

A small C-level mission would be directly upgraded to an A-level mission. Such accidents had happened in the past, but they were rare after all. It was unexpected that it could happen to the newly graduated Team 7. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen could not have expected it.

Then, he waved his hand gently.

At the same time, an Anbu appeared, took the sealing scroll and beheading sword on the table, and left.

The bodies of these two men are of great research significance. Even if the beheading sword is not kept in their own ninja village for use, it can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Hidden Mist Village in the future. It is definitely a high-value item.

"Then, Kakashi, tell me what you think, what do you think of Menma?"

"Yes, Third-Hai, I think Menma is a ninja who is trustworthy and worth training. I believe he will become the pillar of Konoha in the future, just like the Fourth-Hai."

Kakashi straightened himself up and replied in a rare solemn tone.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen also crossed his hands on the table, looking at Kakashi with an extremely serious expression, as if he wanted to confirm again and again. At that moment, time and space seemed to have stopped.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen then revealed a faint smile, nodded slightly and said: "Well, that's good. I am most confident in leaving Team 7 to you, Kakashi. Whether it is Menma, Sasuke, or Naruto, I hope they can all receive the correct guidance."

"Yes, Third-generation Lord, please rest assured!"

Kakashi nodded seriously and replied.

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Kakashi leapt up and left the office directly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also devoted himself to handling the government affairs of his position as Hokage.

Having returned to his home, Ma naturally had no idea whether the Third Hokage, who seemed to be 100% confident in him, still had a little doubt about him, but this was obviously a very normal development.

After all, Menma is not as positive, optimistic, innocent and passionate as Naruto in the original work.

What's more, he is a 12-year-old kid with the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body. Even if we are not worried about Menma himself, we have to worry about the possible rebellion of the Nine-Tailed Fox, right?
As a Hokage who has been in charge of Konohagakure for more than 40 years, if he is so careless, he will never be able to firmly control the power of the village.
It can be done after the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, died in battle.

The fact that he was able to secure the position of Hokage at the young age of 20 is enough to show that Sarutobi Hiruzen was very skilled.

This is also why after reading the original work in the previous life, many people felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen, at least after he reached middle age, had become a hypocrite wearing a mask.

Even though the original work tried hard to describe how kind, just, bright and great this Hokage was, the facts that existed were just slapping Sarutobi Hiruzen in the face.

Danzo's existence is a point that can never be avoided.

If you say that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not aware of what Danzo has done, then Sarutobi Hiruzen is stupid. If you say that Sarutobi Hiruzen knows what Danzo has done and has even adopted a tacit attitude, then Sarutobi Hiruzen is bad!
And if Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea what Danzo had done beforehand, and even after he found out, he was still hesitant and always took the approach of giving only mild reprimands, without any real punishment at all.

Then this Third Hokage is both stupid and evil.

No matter which one it is.

This Hokage-sama is not worthy of trust.

At least, that's what Menma thought.

Now he would not have any hesitation at all.

At this moment when Konoha is about to face another crisis, Menma really needs to make his next arrangements carefully and comprehensively.

What kind of way out should he choose?

Although he had considered a series of options before, after eliminating them one by one, Menma found that there were only a few options he could choose from, and the one that seemed the most reliable. "It can only be this guy. Although it is a little dangerous, it is more practical..."

Menma looked at the densely packed black words he had written on the white paper. When his eyes fixed on a certain word, a hint of sharpness flashed in Menma's pupils.

There is no best choice.

Some are simply the only choice forced by the current situation.

It's a big gamble.

The "gambling chip" that needs to be paid is one's own life, but so what? Since you don't want to live a depressed and cowardly life, you can only choose to take this path.

"Let's set the date for the Chunin Exams in a few months!"

Menma's eyes flickered slightly as he thought silently in his heart.

If one wants to escape from the Hidden Leaf Village, in addition to having the minimum ability to protect oneself, the timing of the event is also crucial.

In the original work, the Chunin Exam, the plan to collapse Konoha jointly launched by the Sand Village and the Sound Village was a perfect opportunity.

Konoha at that time was definitely in the most chaotic situation.

This was Menma's preferred time to leave Konoha.

However, this is only the current preliminary plan. The goal remains unchanged, but whether the specific operations and choices will change at that time will also depend on the actual situation at the moment. It is not a good thing to read from the script.

It is not uncommon for plans to fail to keep up with changes.

"I still need to have more alternative plans!"

Menma took a deep breath and thought silently in his heart.

Of course, the most important thing is your own strength.

The stronger you are, the greater the initiative you can take. Therefore, during the few days of rest.

Menma also did not relax at all. His Rasengan training in the Land of Waves was already on the right track.

He may not remember other plot details in such detail.

But Menma still remembers very clearly the three-stage training method of the Rasengan that Jiraiya taught Naruto in the original work.

It's not impossible to find another way.

But since there is a ready-made solution, why bother yourself?
Originally, even if there was no record in the Book of Sealed Things, Menma could still learn the Rasengan, but after all, he lacked a formal way.

For the past 12 years, Menma has been living under surveillance. How could he secretly learn other ninjutsu? Isn't that a clear way to die?

Therefore, even though Menma had some methods of practicing the techniques in his memory, he could not put any of them into practice. He could only repeatedly carry out the most boring and monotonous basic training.

But it’s different now!

In the Land of Waves, Menma, while practicing other things, had already successfully completed the first stage of the rotation of the Rasengan, the training of the second stage of its power, and even the maintenance of the third stage, which was considered to have reached the expected target value.

It can be said that he has initially mastered the Rasengan.

But sometimes there are some small problems.

For example, the problem of chakra dissipation.

During these few days of rest.

What Menma needs to do is to further consolidate the results of his practice.

Reach the point of fully mastering the Rasengan.
