The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

After a quick tidying up, the two leaped into the air and sped off towards the southeast.

At the same time.

In the Land of Fire, in the most prosperous central area, in the region where Konoha Village is located, in a dark underground chamber.

"Is the intelligence confirmed!?"

With a gloomy expression, Shimura Danzo stood on the main seat, looking at a Root member who had come to report information, and asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, Lord Danzo, the destination is the Land of Spring!"

A figure from the bottom, seemingly shrouded in darkness, replied in a deep voice.

"The Mist Ninja, the Six-Tails, this is truly a great opportunity!"

Danzo's single, exposed pupil also revealed a hint of greed. As the darkest figure in Konoha who had always aspired to become Hokage, the Sharingan and Wood Release were undoubtedly the most desired powers.

The power of the Tailed Beasts has always been one of Danzo's targets.

In his view.

He is the only person in the world qualified to control these powers, and only he can use and guide them correctly.

The defection of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki—isn't this a golden opportunity for him?!

Due to the unusual movements of the Cloud Ninja, the assistance of elders Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and Danzo's undeniable status, Tsunade was ultimately forced to cancel the restrictions on Root.

Danzo can once again freely command the Root members under his command.

Although Tsunade had clearly increased her surveillance of Root, Danzo didn't care at all. There were only a few truly elite squads in the Hokage's direct ANBU, and Danzo didn't believe that Tsunade would send all of them to supervise Root.

If we really did that.

Danzo would actually be pleased.

Because he can now openly and legitimately impeach Tsunade!

If they don't do that, how can the remaining people truly restrain the root? At most, they'll just know that the root is taking action.

Chapter 238 Reunion and the Land of Spring

"Dragon Horse!"

The low, mournful shouts that followed.

"Whoosh!"

In the side position.

A tall, imposing figure flashed into view.

He knelt on one knee in front of Danzo.

"You will personally lead two small teams to the Land of Spring, taking Shen and Hai with you. If you can persuade them, that would be best. If not, the methods don't matter. I just want to see the Six-Tails brought back safely, understand?!"

Danzo looked at the Jonin he trusted most, who was also the strongest in Root, and spoke in an extremely cold tone.

How powerful are the tailed beasts?

Danzo was certainly aware of this.

If there were still some errors in judging the opponent's mahjong before...

Now, Danzo will no longer make such a basic misjudgment regarding this Six-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from Kirigakure.

With a Jonin whose strength was almost at the top level of Jonin, plus two of the most elite Root teams, and special talents skilled in sealing techniques, Danzo believed that even the Six-Tails in its fully transformed tailed beast form should be able to put up a fight.

Moreover, they could simply wait and see, without making a move.

Danzo believed that his subordinate would understand his meaning.

"Yes, Lord Danzo, please rest assured!"

The man named Ryoma responded in his most composed voice.

"Well then, everything is in your hands, Ryoma!"

Danzo nodded in satisfaction.

Since Ryoma joined Root, he has never disappointed in any mission he has carried out, and Danzo believes that he will bring back good news this time.

"Yes!"

After Longma suddenly lowered his head in response.

With a flicker of his body, he vanished from the spot.

And only a few minutes later.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

It is located in the eastern wilderness of Yuren Village.

More than ten figures dressed entirely in the dark uniforms of the Dark Guard also darted out from here, speeding southwards.

These people had only just left Konoha Village not long ago.

At the Hokage Building.

Tsunade received the news.

"Sure enough, that old man just can't hold back!"

Tsunade sat upright in her Hokage seat, listening to the information from the guards, a hint of 'I knew it' showing in her beautiful eyes.

The Hidden Leaf Village of today is completely different from what it used to be.

Tsunade, being an insider, knows her own family's affairs.

Even though she was the Hokage.

However, while those below were unaware of every order issued, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo were certain to know.

Each of them was an elder who had held power in the ninja village for decades.

Every corner and every department in the village bears their mark, and Tsunade has no way to stop this unless she forcefully removes the three from their positions, imprisons them all, and then completely overhauls the various departments of Konoha. Otherwise, Tsunade cannot possibly have complete control over the power of the entire ninja village.

But if that happens...

The entire ninja village would inevitably fall into chaos, a situation that Tsunade absolutely did not want to see and could not accept.

She lacked the power and prestige to suppress everything.

Even if we take a step back and assume that she could really make up her mind, Jiraiya, Shikaku, and Tsunade's staunchest supporters might not necessarily support her.

She was not Hiruzen Sarutobi after all.

That Third Hokage was unwilling to do it.

Tsunade, however, couldn't do it.

The stability of the ninja village is the most important factor.

"Lady Tsunade, what should we do now? Should we send people to intercept them?"

The person sitting to one side, Shizune, also spoke with a hint of worry.

"No, there's no point in sending people to intercept them. Putting everything else aside, Danzo has definitely sent out the most elite members of Root this time. Right now, Root can't spare the necessary forces to intercept them. Shizune, pass the message to Jiraiya and let him make a judgment on the spot!"

After frowning and thinking for a while, Tsunade finally shook her head slowly.

This is ultimately not a problem on Menma and Sasuke's side, but only on the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. Although it will involve Kirigakure, in Tsunade's view, it is not a particularly big problem, and there is no need to really confront Danzo head-on.

Most importantly, Tsunade had already received feedback that Jiraiya had headed south to the 'Land of Spring'. With her close friend by her side, Tsunade didn't think the Root members would cause any trouble.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade!"

Shizune nodded as if she understood, and then strode away to convey Tsunade's orders.

The combined forces from all sides.

This has clearly exceeded most of the expectations.

Even things like dough lumps are impossible to predict.

As he traveled south, he completely avoided the main roads. Even though it would consume more chakra, Menma tried to travel in his altered form during the day, always wanting to be prepared for any unexpected situations.

Throughout the entire process, I also unleashed my senses.

It constantly monitors its surroundings.

Menma wasn't too worried about the others, but he had to be extremely vigilant about the elusive White Zetsu. He absolutely couldn't allow them to detect his whereabouts at any time.

'This should be the agreed-upon location, right?'

It took more than a day.

Menma also traversed almost half of the continent, arriving directly at a coastal location in the southernmost part of the Land of Fire.

This is also the shortest route among the selected routes, after avoiding the main road.

Looking around, there wasn't a single person in sight.

But with just a slight sense, Mianma easily pinpointed a shadowy spot in the woods on the right side of the coast.

"Hehe, Menma-kun is still so perceptive, finding my location so quickly."

It was almost the instant that Menma's gaze froze.

A familiar soft laugh came from behind the woods.

next second.

Yakushi Kabuto's familiar, slender figure stepped out from inside.

"Don't forget my surname, Dousang. Within my perception range, no one can escape my lock."

Menma looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a calm expression, his words clearly carrying a hint of warning.
