The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Menma can easily detect the chakra of others who enter within a certain range of him. In particular, as his control over the Nine-Tails' chakra has become more precise, he can easily detect any spread of negative emotions.

This is why people can travel more freely these days.

Even a White Zetsu cannot get within a certain distance without Menma's permission.

Anyone who tries to ambush Menma.

It's impossible to do that.

Unless it's a spatial technique, and it has to be an instantaneous one, it's impossible to achieve the effect of a surprise attack on the face.

The chakra of Shibuki and Ajun.

The surface of the face can be located even from a great distance.

"Ok!"

Karin, who had just prepared tea in one of the seats, responded softly and quickly walked to the doorway, which was pulled open.

“Shemu Sang, Ajun Sang.”

The two figures appeared at just the right moment in the doorway.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you two to come over."

Menma also stood up at the same time, and said with a faint look of apology.

"No, this is also for the sake of the village. After all, Yu Gao-san's identity does need to be temporarily concealed."

As Shibuki stepped into the room, his eyes lit up when he saw Utaka getting up with Menma, and he smiled nonchalantly.

Ah Jun, sitting to the side, looked at Yu Gao with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

The opposite side is mahjong.

A-Jun wasn't completely trusting to begin with. Even with Elder Mizuno Satoru's endorsement and Shibuki's continued assertion that Menma was trustworthy, A-Jun still harbored a slight wariness, not because he suspected Menma of plotting against Takigakure.

He also believed that everything Menma did was to make the village stronger.

However, he still suspected that Menma wanted to seize the position of leader.

And now, this unfamiliar ninja has been brought in by Menma. From A-Jun's perspective, could this be another instance of Menma strengthening his own faction and increasing his influence?

It is important to know about the establishment of the Barrier Class.

This has already given Mianma a certain level of status and prestige in the village.

This pace was faster than A Jun had anticipated.

He felt it necessary to suppress it.

'So these are the ninjas that Accelerator recruited? Their aura seems quite ordinary? Is it because of their identity?'

Ah Jun looked Yu Gao up and down, his brows furrowing slightly.

But little did A-Jun know that, not being a specialized sensory ninja, how could he possibly know Yu-Gao's specific situation when Yu-Gao deliberately concealed his aura and did not intentionally unleash his chakra?

Utaka could easily sense A-Jun's scrutiny of him, but he didn't care. This was a normal behavior, as Menma had clearly explained his status in the ninja village and his current disguise.

He came along with Menma, having joined halfway through, and people were curious and doubtful about him.

This is perfectly normal.

But that leader...

While Utakata may not possess the powerful sensory abilities of Menma, a member of the Uzumaki clan, and Saiken, the Six-Tails, may not have the same ability to sense malice as Kurama, Tailed Beasts are still combinations of chakra. As Jinchuriki, their senses are still much sharper than those of ordinary people.

He can 'see' it.

The leader, named Shemu, was overjoyed at his arrival, clearly showing he was very happy to see him.

This left Yu Gao with a slight doubt.

This is slightly different from what he had predicted before he came.

This is Takigakure Village, after all.

He was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

The sesame seeds were added halfway through.

While they could strengthen the entire village, the risks they brought were also foreseeable, not to mention the possibility of other threats.

Yu Gao is not the kind of hot-blooded, simple-minded guy.

The darkness in people's hearts.

Yu Gao is very familiar with it.

'This seems a little different from what we expected?'

Yu Gao glanced at Menma, Shibuki, and A-Jun with a very subtle look, and then thought to himself.

"Well, that's true, but it's only temporary, because we encountered some unexpected problems this time we went out."

Menma first gestured for Shemu and Ajun to sit down, then shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

According to the original plan...

The best outcome would be to sneak into the village without firing a shot.

They could fool Utakata without anyone else knowing... *cough cough*... Persuading him to return to Takigakure Village would be the best option.

Although it will definitely be discovered eventually.

Especially the Akatsuki organization.

However, this approach will definitely delay things for a while longer.

But people are not as good as heaven.

This trip was truly a gathering of heroes. Two groups came from Konoha, then there was the Cloud Ninja group led by Darui whom they unexpectedly encountered, and the Mist Ninja pursuit force that they hadn't met but was always around.

He was forced to confront Jiraiya and the others.

This already sowed the seeds of the risk of their tracks being exposed.

As mentioned before, this kind of thing doesn't need evidence; just being suspected is enough!

"An accident? Are you referring to the Mist Ninja?"

Shemu paused slightly before speaking.

Ah Jun, standing to the side, was even more confused, completely unable to understand why his leader had suddenly brought up Kirigakure again.

However, this is normal.

The current timeframe is still when the conflict between the three major ninja villages has just broken out. The specific reasons are still unclear to the outside world. The message sent out by the Fourth Raikage has only just begun to spread.

It will still take a day or two for things to ferment.

Menma was able to get the information in advance thanks to Orochimaru.

"It's related to the recent conflict between the three major powers. The specific reason is..."

After a slight pause, Mianma briefly recounted the course of her trip.

As Menma described the situation, the expressions on Shiki and Ajun's faces changed constantly, especially the latter's.

He subconsciously widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

what the hell! ?

The man next to me with the side-swept bangs is the Six-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from Kirigakure!?

They even encountered ninjas from the Cloud Ninja and the Leaf Village!?

And the latter is led by the famous Jiraiya!?

Then what did Menma do? He repelled one of the renowned Legendary Sannin of Konoha!?

Is this teammate who joined halfway through really that strong?!

Ah Jun suddenly felt that this world was too unreal.

His brain couldn't comprehend the series of things his ears were hearing!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 262 Plans and Revelation

My brain short-circuited for a split second.

Ah Jun felt his head stiffen. His eyes darted around, and his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to begin.

All of this was far beyond his comprehension.

Especially the match against Jiraiya.

I don't really believe anything Ah Jun says.

On the contrary, A-Jun didn't care too much about the deaths of Darui and other Cloud Ninja. After all, compared to Jiraiya, Darui was not famous at all, so his death was no big deal.

But Jiraiya is different!

One of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

It was a terrifying existence that had dominated the ninja world for over thirty years.

How could a young guy like Mianma possibly stand up to someone like that? Ah Jun simply refused to believe it.

But are you saying that Mianma is lying?

It doesn't seem necessary, does it?

Ah Jun could only glance at Mianma, then at his own leader, with a hesitant expression.

Meanwhile, Shiki's mood was only slightly better than A-Jun's.

This is the group of people that Mianma Travel encountered.

Including the glorious achievements described later, Shibuki felt goosebumps all over his body at that moment.

Unlike A Jun's suspicions.

In this area, Shibuki has absolute faith in Menma.
