The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Ultimately, the biggest problem with Mu is his mindset; he is too easily swayed and too easily startled.

However, at least he is not the kind of person who is completely weak-willed.

It's not entirely hopeless.

the most important is.

The current situation is much better than Mizuno Satoru initially thought.

The key point is the hemp surface you are standing on.

“Ichikata-kun came here not just to tell Shibuki this information, right? If you want to save people, you should have the right methods, shouldn’t you, Ichikata-kun?”

Mizuno Satoru looked up at Menma and heard the words he spoke slowly.

Shibuki, who was standing to the side, was also moved.

He looked at Menma as if he understood.

"Hehe, that's for sure. After all, compared to a treacherous fellow like Shuiyan, I would much rather cooperate with someone like Lord Shibuki."

Even though he himself was quite a cunning fellow.

But now Mianma can speak to people in a way that doesn't change his expression, and he can also speak to ghosts in a way that doesn't change his expression.

"Moreover, as long as Mr. Shibuki doesn't lose his composure, the water pipe's plan is unlikely to succeed anyway, so I'm certainly willing to invest in Mr. Shibuki's side."

This makes no attempt to conceal its blatant attitude.

Shibuki felt a little uncomfortable, but Mizuno Satoru was used to it and even thought that this was the right thing to do.

As for the question of why a reminder could have been given much earlier, but was only given at the last minute...

Mizuno Satoru would never mention it.

Sometimes, it's necessary to play dumb.

As long as it's clear that they're there to help you, that's enough.

Chapter 210 The Wisdom of the Elderly (Third Update)

As for other things, are they important?

It might be very important.

But compared to what's happening right now, it doesn't seem so important anymore.

"Could you tell me about the intelligence you have first, Mr. Yifang? After all, the current situation doesn't seem very secure."

After coughing a few times to calm his breathing, Mizuno Satoru looked at Menma seriously and said that he still didn't know Menma very well.

The true strength of the so-called Twelve Guardian Ninjas under the command of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and how many ninjas they can send out, are all unknowns.

But there's hookah there.

Mizuno Satoru estimated that there were at least dozens, or even hundreds, of people in the village willing to follow him, as long as Mizuki could successfully seize the throne of the ninja village leader.

In addition, Menma just mentioned the issue of Amegakure.

Mizuno Satoru believed that the young man in front of him was definitely not a reckless person and should have a plan.

"Of course, there's no problem."

Menma nodded nonchalantly, and then succinctly recounted all the information he knew about the movements in the water pipe area.

Throughout the entire process, Mizuno Satoru remained calm. He could guess some things, and some things he couldn't, but overall, it didn't exceed Mizuno Satoru's expectations. Shibuki's expression, on the other hand, changed back and forth with Menma's narration, always appearing to be in a state of flux, alternating between red and blue.

He truly hadn't expected the hookah preparations to be so thorough; barring any unforeseen circumstances...

The fate that awaited them was either death in battle or a humiliating escape.

Neither of these options is acceptable to Shibuki.

Therefore, a strange and complicated look was faintly revealed in Shibuki's gaze as he looked in Menma's direction.

He didn't know whether he should be grateful to the person in front of him for the news and assistance, since Menma had obviously been in contact with the hookah for a long time.

If only I had told myself that sooner.

The situation would never have come to this.

But that's what I think.

Shibuki, however, did not say it aloud. Even though he did not have the same broad perspective as Mizuno Satoru, he clearly knew that it was precisely at this time that stability was needed.

Ultimately, they came to help me.

Regardless of the intention.

Actual choices and actions are the most important.

"Therefore, Elder Wu and Lord Shemu need not worry about most of the safety, including Fu. As for Shuiyan, that guy is planning to deal with him last. He's just been transferred away for now. As long as we can deal with Shuiyan head-on, then all the problems will be solved."

Menma, with a confident expression, chuckled and said.

It was as if the hookah, along with the other Takigakure ninja he led, and the equally numerous Amegakure troops, were as easy as clay chickens and earthenware dogs, and could be defeated with a flick of the wrist.

At this moment, a hint of suspicion involuntarily surfaced in Shibuki's eyes. After all, Shibuki was not Mizuno Satoru. He lacked experience and his personal strength was not particularly outstanding, so he couldn't really see how strong Menma was.

The fact that he was able to sneak in before did surprise Shibuki, but Shibuki felt that it was just that Menma was very good at hiding and stealth.

This is not a rare occurrence in the ninja world.

"It seems that you were prepared all along, Yifang-kun. May I ask what you wish to obtain from our Takigakure Village?"

Before Shemu could say anything.

Mizuno Satoru spoke first, his slightly cloudy eyes fixed on Menma as he spoke calmly.

do not know why.

It sounds perfectly normal.

But at this moment, a strange feeling arose in Menma's heart. He shook his head slightly, and the thought that came out was still accompanied by a smile as he said, "No, Elder Wu misunderstands. We just want to gain the friendship of your village. Just as we said when we first came to your village, there are some things we still need to rely on your village's strength for. We just hope that your village can provide some convenience."

Ultimately, the people we face are still different.

Most importantly, with such close proximity, Menma could clearly tell that Elder Wu was nearing the end of his life, so Menma didn't need to reveal too much useful information.

How easily can you fool Shemu?

This Elder Wu is incredibly difficult to deal with.

In front of such a shrewd old man, saying too much is bound to lead to mistakes!

"Is that so? Of course, there is no problem. I can make a promise on behalf of Takigakure: from now on, Ichika-kun will be our most honored friend. As long as Ichika-kun has any needs, and it does not involve the core issues of our village, Takigakure will definitely do its best to help Ichika-kun."

Mizuno Satoru gave Menma a deep look at every word he uttered.

A faint hint of doubt flickered deep within Ling Mianma's numb pupils.

He always felt that the old man in front of him seemed to be implying something in his words.

“Walking through wood”.

Mizuno Satoru didn't bother with Menma either.

Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Shibuki.

This is an attitude that is clearly expressed.

After taking a deep breath, Shibuki nodded emphatically and said, "Grandpa Satoru's attitude is my attitude. Ichika-san, from now on, as long as your country has any needs and as long as it does not harm our Takigakure Village, I will definitely obey the orders of the Daimyo."

And it was at the moment when he heard Shibuki's words.

A flash of inspiration struck his numb mind.

'Could it be!?'

Those pupils suddenly contracted.

A barely perceptible tremor appeared in the eyes of the person looking in the direction of Mizuno Satoru.

The moment Mizuno Satoru's eyes met Menma's.

A faint glint of light also shone from those cloudy pupils.

"Shibuki, then follow Yifang-san's information and prioritize retrieving the Hero's Water. Make other arrangements more meticulous. Remember to call Mori Takeshi and Daigo over to see me as well, so that Suiken doesn't have any opportunity to take advantage."

Mizuno Satoru looked at Shibuki with a hint of warning in his eyes and said.

"Yes, I understand, Grandpa Wu, I'll take care of it right away."

Shemu did not hesitate at all.

After nodding emphatically.

Just as he was about to leave.

I saw Mianma's figure.

He immediately showed a hint of hesitation.

"Grandpa Wu, what's this place like..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine here. Aoki is nearby, isn't he? Besides, I have something to say to Yifang-kun. You go ahead."

Mizuno Satoru could clearly see through Shibuki's worries, but in his opinion, they were completely unnecessary. So he waved his hand and said in the most resolute tone.

Upon hearing this...

Without further hesitation, Shibuki, knowing that every second counted, strode away.

Chapter 211 An Important Promise

It was after Shibuki's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Menma also suppressed his smile, looking at Mizuno Satoru with a hint of regret, and said with a touch of helplessness, "I thought I had disguised myself quite well, but I don't know where I slipped up and Elder Satoru saw through me?"

"No, Yifang-kun didn't give anything away. It was just some old man's dying intuition. I felt that Yifang-kun wasn't Yifang-kun, that he seemed younger. And because of this, I started to think about other things. Hehe, old people tend to overthink things. To be honest, I wasn't 100% sure. Actually, Yifang-kun could have continued to play the role. Why did he have to expose himself?"
