The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Menma stared intently at Shibuki and said in a deep voice.

The Six-Tails Jinchuuriki Yugao.

It is currently in wild mode.

These were all powerful allies that Menma had planned to recruit before he defected from Konoha.

Others may not know, but Menma, as a transmigrator, knows all too well the situation of the two tailed beasts in Kirigakure. The so-called ability to utilize any power worth using is exactly what this means. A tailed beast can at least be regarded as a powerful Kage-level being.

The Tailed Beast Ball, unique to Tailed Beasts, is a kind of power that can be described as devastating to ordinary ninjas.

No one has the right to provoke a fight unless they reach the level of a movie star.

For his own plans.

Mianma naturally set his sights on this human and beast.

When they were with Orochimaru, Menma had already communicated with him beforehand, instructing Orochimaru to mobilize all his power to search for the exact locations of Utakata and the Three-Tailed Isobu.

now.

The whereabouts of Mitsuo Isobu are still unknown.

However, the general outline of Utakata's remains has already been determined.

Orochimaru had also passed on necessary information to Menma through Kabuto Yakushi a few days ago.

The village's protective barrier has already been set up.

Mianma then decided to go and meet this Yugao student.

"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure has defected? When did this happen?"

Although I had already guessed it.

But when he heard the exact information from Menma, Shibuki couldn't help but show a look of shock.

He truly hadn't expected that the 'companion' Menma was talking about would be such an explosive existence.

And these are clearly not 'companions', okay?

They might not even accept the invitation!

"In terms of time, it should have been a few years ago."

Mianma frowned slightly and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

The original work does not specify when Utakata defected from Kirigakure, but it is certain that Utakata was definitely in his twenties and had not just left Kirigakure. Orochimaru confirmed this during his investigation.

It's also worth mentioning that Orochimaru was able to find out Utakata's approximate location by getting information from Kirigakure.

After all, he was the most important Jinchuriki of his own ninja village.

Kirigakure has always had a special ANBU squad tracking Utakata.

"Menma-kun, isn't this too risky? A rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, this..."

With an expression on his face that defied description, Shibuki gently shook his head and said...

Our village already has a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from Konoha. Putting everything else aside, if we also accept a Six-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from Kirigakure, wouldn't we be facing off against both Konoha and Kirigakure in the future?

Just thinking about that scene made Shibuki's face turn slightly pale.

"Shibuki-san, there are no outsiders here, so I'll be frank. The moment Elder Go and you agreed to let me join the village, you... no, I should say, we had no way out. Is Utakata-san's identity special? Can it compare to mine? Shibuki-san, you should also know very well that my identity will be exposed sooner or later, and I can't keep up this false identity forever. I've never hidden my intentions since joining the village, which is to take revenge on Konoha. We are destined to face each other in the future, so we shouldn't be thinking about the so-called risks now, but about what benefits we will gain. What do you think, Shibuki-san?"

Menma gently shook his head, his expression gradually changing as he stared intently at Shibuki and spoke seriously.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 234 Before Departure

The language is very straightforward, and the reasoning is clearly discernible.

Shibuki wasn't unaware of this before, but he had deceived himself for a moment. After Menma brought it up, Shibuki remained silent.

indeed.

Just as Menma said.

He is the biggest risk, the biggest time bomb. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is definitely someone who can attract the attention of the whole world. Once Menma's identity is exposed, Takigakure will be pushed to the forefront of the storm. At that time, what difference will it make whether there is one more Utakata or one less Utakata?

Anyway, Kirigakure is so far away from Takigakure. No matter where they come from, they have to pass through the Land of Fire. It's impossible for a large number of Kirigakure troops to come. In the end, they will still have to face the pressure from the surrounding countries.

There is absolutely no difference.

Thinking about this.

Shibuki then felt relieved and nodded slightly, saying, "You're right, Menma-kun. We have no way out; we can only move forward. Although it might be a little late, or even strange, to say this now, Menma-kun, I still have to ask: can I really trust you? The kind of trust that's willing to pay any price!"

With an unprecedentedly serious expression, Shibuki stared intently at Menma as he asked each and every word.

At that moment, it was as if all of Shibuki's mind and spirit had been poured into it, and his hands, which were hanging at his sides, clenched slightly.

"Of course, Shibuki-san, Takigakure is my ninja village too. I need Takigakure, and Takigakure will definitely need me. I will not let you, or the late Elder Satoru, regret this. This is my promise!"

Menma looked back at Shibuki and said decisively.

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave it to you then, Menma-kun."

After giving Menma a deep look, Shibuki slowly nodded and said.

He wasn't sure if his decision was correct.

But he and Takigakure really have no way out, unless he is willing to self-destruct now and go to Konoha to betray Menma. But let's not even talk about whether he will succeed. Even if he does succeed, Takigakure will not only get no benefits, but also risk suffering Menma's wrath.

How strong is the Nine-Tails when it unleashes its full power?

Shibuki didn't know, but the only thing he was certain of was that it was a terrifying existence that Takigakure Village could not withstand.

Since we're already on this sinking ship, we might as well go all the way down this dark path.

Moreover, this path may not necessarily be a dead end.

It could also be a broad and prosperous road!

"Yes, don't worry, Shibuki-san!"

Mianma nodded emphatically.

Immediately afterwards.

After discussing some issues regarding the barrier team and the guard team with Shibuki, Menma also left the spacious government hall.

Shibuki watched Menma's departing figure, a faint worry appearing in his eyes, but it was only for a moment before being replaced by a look of determination.

"Grandpa Satoru, please bless us, please bless Takigakure Village!!!"

Destruction or prosperity.

There are only two possibilities left for the future of Takigakure!

Unlike the anxious and uncertain mindset of Shimona.

Menma's resolve has never wavered; this is the path he chose himself, and there is nothing to regret or hesitate about.

If things really start to waver.

He would never have chosen to defect back then.

Wouldn't it be better to stay in Konoha?

The reason for this is that he wanted to forge a truly new path.

They felt they had to be true to themselves.

This was Mianma's determination.

After leaving the government hall, Menma went straight back to his residence, where six figures were already waiting. In addition to Karin and Suigetsu, there were four Takigakure ninjas, three men and one woman, all of whom were young people under the age of 20.

These four were the most outstanding performers during Menma's training over the past two months, and also the four with the strongest chakra aura within Menma's perception range.

Although they can only be considered Chunin by the standards of the five great ninja villages, Menma believes that if they are properly trained, these four may be able to grow into Jonin. Of course, it also depends on their own efforts.

In any case, Menma has no shortage of training methods, especially in terms of techniques, and at the very least, he has Orochimaru as a backup.

Therefore, Menma decisively selected the four from that group of Takigakure ninja and focused on training them. These were his first batch of foundational subordinates in Takigakure.

"I'll be leaving the village soon, so Shuiyue will be in charge of the barrier team for the time being. If any of you four have any problems, you must report to Shuiyue immediately. The barrier will operate as planned before. If you need anything else, just contact Ah Jun-san. Understand?"

Mianma stood at the head of the table, looking at Shuiyue and the others with a very serious expression.

"Yes, Lord Yifang, I will obey your orders!"

Several people, including Shuiyue, immediately bowed and replied.

"Ah, very good."

Mianma nodded in satisfaction.

After briefly explaining some details...

He simply waved for Shuiyue and the others to leave.

"Karin, while I'm gone, I'll leave you to keep a close eye on Suigetsu. He's still in a somewhat unstable phase, so we need to keep an eye on him. If necessary, you can report to Shibuki-san. My departure this time is also a good test for him."

Watching Shuiyue's departing figure.

Until that chakra aura completely disappeared.

Menma also turned his head to look at Karin in the left seat and said.

This time, leaving the ninja village, I am likely to encounter powerful enemies. It is not suitable to take Karin and Suigetsu, who are still relatively weak, with me. Karin, in particular, is indeed outstanding in medical and sensory abilities, but her actual combat strength is, well, let's just say, that's a fact. As for Suigetsu, he is indeed close to being a Jonin in strength.

But compared to the enemy they were about to face, they were no match.

Taking Chun Chun out is just holding yourself back.

Let's save our breath.

"Yes, no problem, don't worry about that, Mianma!"

Karin nodded emphatically in reply.

"But are you leaving now? Shouldn't you make some preparations?"

After a slight pause, Karin continued.
