The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

No matter how eloquently Menma speaks in other areas, the Suzaki Lizard wouldn't even glance at him. But when it comes to Suzaki Gossa and the former Suzaki Country, this ninja beast can't stand idly by.

That's definitely a much more intense emotional shift than before.

When the lizard turned its head for the first time, its huge eyes stared intently at Menma.

Mianma was initially delighted, then calmly met his gaze.

He had no intention of deceiving the Shuzaki lizard at all. In Menma's opinion, if such a promise could be exchanged for the full assistance of a powerful summoning ninja beast, Menma felt it was a very profitable deal.

"Human, are you telling the truth!?"

After a long period of eye contact.

The lizard finally couldn't hold back any longer. Two puffs of hot air came out of its nostrils. The lizard stared intently at Menma and spoke in a tone that seemed to explode.

"Of course, this is my promise. I can guarantee it with my integrity. I will definitely avenge the country of the head, and I will do my best to find the descendants of Gosaku Suzaki!"

Menma also straightened his body as much as possible, staring directly at the Shuzaki lizard, and said in a firm and resounding voice.

This clearly expresses its meaning.

Most importantly, the lizard from the lizard could sense the sincerity emanating from Menma, which clearly touched his heart.

After giving Menma one last, deep look, the Suzaki lizard slowly nodded and said, "Human, please remember what you said today."

Then.

Amidst Menma's incredibly surprised expression, a scroll about half the size of Menma was spat out of his mouth.

"Yes, I'll remember that!"

Mianma nodded emphatically.

Then, completely ignoring the slime on the scroll, he opened it and pulled it to the very back, where he saw Gosaku Kuzaki on it.

After staring at it for three or four seconds, Menma bit her finger and wrote her name down very neatly.

And that is, at the very moment the contract is completed.

Menma could clearly sense a strange connection between herself and the Shuzaki lizard in front of her, and it seemed that there was another, more profound connection between them.

This made Menma's mind race, and he looked at the Shuzaki lizard in front of him with a somewhat uncertain tone and asked, "Are you from the same species?"

"Yes, Master. Our Lacquer Rock Desolate Lizard Clan, although not as powerful as the Three Great Holy Lands, is still a clan. Including myself, there are dozens of lizards in the clan. However, most of them are still in their juvenile stage or dormant. I am the oldest in the clan, and my name is Lacquer Earth."

The lizard in front of him, oh no, it should be Urushido, after signing his name on the scroll, bowed his head slightly and replied with a respectful expression.

"Oh? Is that so? Well, Qitu, you don't need to call me master. I've already said before that we are comrades fighting side by side. Just call me by my name. And like I said before, I will do my best to fulfill what I've promised."

Upon hearing that Ushido was not a single summoning ninja beast, but rather came from a clan, Menma was overjoyed. He knew all too well what a summoning ninja beast clan meant; it meant that he could do much more.

Even though he tried his best to calm himself down, a smile still crept onto Mianma's lips.

"No, Master, rules are rules, and I believe that Master will keep his promise."

It is obvious that the Lacquer Rock Wild Lizard Clan is a very traditional ninja beast clan, and the hierarchical relationship between superiors and inferiors is likely ingrained in their very bones.

I'm still a little bit unaccustomed to the texture of the dough.

This is the title that other creatures use to address you as their master.

"Let's change it. I'm not used to lacquer."

Mianma waved his hand and said.

"Ah? Yes, then it's Master Menma?"

Because a contract had already been signed, Urushito could clearly tell that Menma wasn't just being polite. However, his personality and past habits allowed him to call Menma by her name directly, so he simply added 'sama' after her name.

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

This name has become more familiar to many people, and the meaning may not be much different, but to Mianma, it is a fundamental difference.

He nodded in agreement at that moment.

Then.

Mianma also used the palm immortal technique he had just learned to give Qitu the most basic initial treatment.

"untie!"

He directly formed a hand seal, dispelling the spirit communication technique, and sent Qi Tu back to his clan's exclusive spirit communication space to recuperate.

Qi Tu's injuries from this battle were somewhat serious.

For the next period of time.

Mianma will definitely not summon Qitu; at least he needs to rest for a while. As for the other lizards...

Ok.

We'll have to get used to it gradually.

This time we've really struck gold!

Mianma thought to himself with a smile on his face.

From a distance, Karin also rushed over after seeing Menma successfully complete the contract.

Seeing Menma's joyful expression, Karin also showed a happy look. In her eyes, Menma's joy was her joy.

"Mianma, is everything going smoothly? Should we head back now?"

Karin widened her eyes and spoke with a hint of resistance in her voice.

When Mianma heard this, he was first taken aback, but then he immediately realized what was happening.

The atmosphere around Orochimaru's place was indeed a bit eerie.

It's understandable that Karin doesn't like it.

However, they still had to go back eventually. Even though Menma's plan included the need to build their own power, it was definitely not now. Firstly, the timing wasn't right, and secondly, they didn't have the corresponding ability and strength.

Therefore, Orochimaru's place is still a necessary foothold for him.

"Yes, I definitely need to go back, but not so soon. It took less time to get here than I expected, so I plan to take care of another matter at the same time."

Mianma smiled gently and said.

When Karin heard the first half of the sentence, her lips twitched, clearly showing a little displeasure. But after hearing the second half, her face lit up with obvious happiness.

"Okay! Shall we set off now?"

Karin asked with bright, sparkling eyes.

Karin would be happy to go anywhere as long as she could be with Menma and not have to go back to that cold, gloomy place.

Chapter 143 Movements on the Other Side

"Hehe, there's no need to rush. It's already quite late. Let's rest in a nearby town for the night and set off tomorrow. Besides, we also need to gather some intelligence. The ninja world is not peaceful right now."

Menma smiled and shook his head, gazing at Konoha Village in the southeast, and then spoke with a solemn expression.

With the help of Orochimaru's platform.

During the few days that Menma was in the Land of Rice Fields, he had a fairly comprehensive understanding of the outside world's intelligence. Orochimaru did not deliberately restrict the flow of information to Menma in this regard, which Orochimaru considered completely meaningless.

Orochimaru even felt that letting Menma know more about the perilous situation in the ninja world would actually increase his side's leverage. Menma was ultimately alone, and with the entire ninja world's attention focused on him, Orochimaru believed that Menma would become increasingly reliant on him.

This is a blatant, overt scheme employed by Orochimaru.

Menma was certainly aware of this, but he was destined not to do as Orochimaru wished.

In Menma's plan, these people, these forces, and these groups are all hurdles he needs to face and overcome. How could he possibly succumb to them? If that were the case, there would have been no need for him to leave Konoha in the first place.

As previously mentioned, the current situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly dangerous. Although some plot points remain the same, Menma's defection has clearly led to a completely different development.

Whether a new ninja war will break out among the five great nations is something Menma cannot predict. He can only make judgments based on the current situation and needs to be more cautious in every step he takes.

"Let's go, Karin."

"Ok!"

With a leap, he...

Menma, carrying Karin, headed towards a town in the northeast.

Silent all night.

After spending the night in this small southeastern town in the Land of Waterfalls.

The next morning.

As the first rays of dawn shone upon the earth, Menma woke up early. Using her transformation technique, she entered the town without any worry about her identity being exposed, freely entering and leaving public places and underground locations.

We gathered as much useful information as possible.

Although this method cannot allow Menma to collect very detailed and comprehensive information, some basic information can still be obtained.

For example, the movement of the large forces of the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja is the easiest information to obtain, since it is not a small number of troops moving around, but a large force of at least a thousand ninjas.

Ordinary intelligence brokers can still accurately obtain this level of information.

Menma was somewhat disappointed when he confirmed that no further conflict had broken out between the three major ninja villages.

Perhaps it was because Konoha's response, both overt and covert, was timely and correct, or perhaps it was because of their past prestige and foundation that made other ninja villages wary. The main forces of Iwa and Kumo simply gathered at the border and did not take any further action.

Honestly.

This is not what Menma wanted to see.

Whether it's a complete revenge against Konoha in the future or the fulfillment of another ambition in his heart, the renewed war between these major ninja villages is the development that best suits Menma's expectations. He is more eager to see the five major ninja villages weakened than the Akatsuki organization or Obito and his ilk.

Instead of continuing the peaceful standoff.

However, since no major war breaks out, there's nothing Menma can do. He can't very well provoke the Five Great Ninja Villages, can he? He's already walking a tightrope; one wrong move and he's done for. Why would he invite trouble upon himself?

Not to mention, he is now a highly sought-after prize in the eyes of all the major ninja villages. Konoha is determined to capture him, and Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the two ninja villages whose strength is second only to Konoha, will definitely try every means to obtain him.

Nine tails!

This is a temptation that no ninja village aspiring to dominate the ninja world could resist.

Menma had no doubt that there were search teams from various ninja villages searching for his exact location throughout the ninja world.
