The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Because A-Jun didn't know Menma's true identity, he still thought he was just a powerful ninja from the Land of Fire.

Naturally, he didn't think that Menma's disguised identity as 'Accelerator' was capable of going up against Jiraiya.

This can be viewed from the perspective of Mutsuki.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has the qualifications to do so!

Isn't the Nine-Tails' rampage 13 years ago the best proof?

Shibuki was only worried about the extent to which Menma had mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra. Now it seems that he is already capable of confronting Jiraiya head-on!

Despite the shock, Shibuki also felt a deep joy!

The stronger Menma is, the more capable they will be of resisting attacks from Konoha and other ninja villages when Menma's identity is exposed in the future!

"Is that so? Well, you must have had a hard time on this trip, Yifang-kun."

Shemu nodded with a touch of emotion.

However, due to a lack of political sensitivity, Shibuki did not immediately realize the crux of the problem.

"The hardship is nothing, but now that my identity has been exposed, the search by the three great ninja villages will likely focus on this place, Shibuki-san."

Look at Shibuki's expression.

Mianma knew that the young leader hadn't reacted yet.

After a slight pause, he continued speaking.

"Um!?"

Shemu and Ajun were both taken aback.

Then.

Both of their expressions changed.

However, their ideas were completely different.

Shibuki knew Menma's true identity, but Jun simply thought that Menma's identity as a Takigakure ninja had been exposed, allowing Konoha to learn that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, had joined their village.

That is indeed a very bad thing.

"Was it Jiraiya who saw through your disguise?"

"Did you forget to take off your headband, Yifang Sang?"

Both Shemu and Ajun spoke at the same time.

But only a second later.

Ah Jun looked at his leader with a puzzled expression.

Huh? What does "pretending" mean?

Does our own person, this Yifangsang, still have a disguise? Huh?

"I can't hold back against Jiraiya. Shibuki-san, I can't fight him without using that power. And once I use that power, my identity will naturally be exposed."

Mianma gently shook his head and said.

The more sophisticated the transformation technique, the harder it is to see through. Even Jiraiya, unless he enters Sage Mode, would find it difficult to discern whether Menma's transformed appearance is genuine.

But appearance and physique can change.

What about in actual combat?

Why not use the Nine-Tails' chakra?

Why not use the Vajra Locket?

Are other techniques, including the Spiral Wheel Technique, also not used?

If you rely solely on other ordinary techniques to fight, Menma is at best an ordinary Jonin, and he's no match for Jiraiya!

The previous Darui was able to easily defeat Menma.

Therefore, the so-called transformation technique can only fool people under normal circumstances. Once a fight breaks out, the true identity will naturally be revealed.

This technique is both powerful and useless.

Transformation only makes sense if someone can perfectly simulate another person's chakra or other powerful techniques.

For example, White Zetsu!

It's impossible to do this with both sides of the hemp.

Therefore, when Menma appeared to support Sasuke, he didn't even think about hiding his identity; it was simply impossible for him to do so.

At most, they'll just prevent Yu Gao from showing up.

But now it seems...

This is also not very meaningful.

Once someone has a suspicion, they don't need any so-called evidence.

"That's true..."

Shibuki was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile and shook his head gently.

"So, what do we need to do next?"

Shibuki leaned forward slightly, his expression grave as he spoke.

If Menma's true identity, along with Utakata's joining Takigakure, were to be fully exposed, it is foreseeable that he would be coveted by the major powers.

This is especially true for Konoha and Kumogakure.

Sunagakure is already weakened, so there's no need to worry too much.

Kirigakure Village is quite far away.

In the village of Iwagakure.

Menma had already confessed to Shibuki that he had a certain alliance with the Third Tsuchikage. It might not be very strong, but it was something that could be used to his advantage. This can be seen from Onoki's unbridled use of the Akatsuki organization in the original work.

This Third Tsuchikage is indiscriminate in his tastes, and Onoki will not hesitate to do anything that benefits Iwagakure.

This is exactly what the dough needs to borrow.

I could understand Shibuki to some extent through Menma's previous introduction.

Even so.

The combined forces of Kumogakure and Konohagakure are formidable forces. While they are unlikely to go all out and need to be wary of each other, this pressure is something that even Iwagakure cannot afford to ignore, let alone Takigakure.

"Yes, we must also speed up our pace and make as many preparations as possible before these major powers react, so that we will have the strength to deal with them when the time comes!"

Mianma took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

Not only should the matter of Mitsuo Isobu be put on the agenda immediately, but there is another important plan that Menma also needs to carry out simultaneously. Doing so will indeed increase the risk of his identity and whereabouts being exposed.

But that's not the time to think about those things.

Even if I do nothing, it will only take a few months, or even less, before my presence in Takigakure will be exposed.

It would be better to seize this last bit of time, complete the plans I made earlier as much as possible, strengthen myself, and the strength of the entire Takigakure village.

"Then..."

Shibuki nodded, as if about to say something more.

"Um, please wait a moment, Leader, Yifang-san, I don't quite understand what you just said about your identities being exposed and the covetousness of other ninja villages. If you're referring to Yutaka-san's identity, didn't Yifang-san say that it hasn't been truly exposed yet? As long as we deny it outright, generally speaking, it's unlikely that the major powers would attack us while they're on guard against each other, let alone attack us together."

Ah Jun interrupted Shemu directly, saying with a hint of doubt.

In this world, as long as there is doubt, there is naturally no need for evidence.

Does the strong need to prove anything to the weak?

the answer is negative.

However, this is also due to the special location of Takigakure Village.

And then there's the special status they've accumulated over the years.

The five great nations might fight other small and medium-sized ninja villages to the death, but when it comes to Takigakure, they are very cautious and do not want to easily disrupt the balance of the ninja world.

Even someone as ferocious as the Fourth Raikage.

They have not said anything about taking action against Takigakure Village.

They must have thought about it, after all, it was a tailed beast, but in the end they never actually made a move, which speaks volumes.

Therefore, from a general perspective, Ah Jun's statement makes a lot of sense.

As long as you hold on to it.

If the other side has no evidence.

They certainly won't make a move easily.

If anyone were to impulsively decide to take action, the other ninja villages would certainly stop them. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Konoha, Sunagakure, and even Kirigakure further away, would absolutely not stand idly by and watch as one ninja village defeats Takigakure and then takes the Seven-Tails into their possession.

That's the mindset.

Either we get it ourselves, or nobody gets it.

Staying in Takigakure is the best option.

Who knows if you're using this as an excuse to start a war against Takigakure!?

Hearing Ah Jun's words.

Menma also subconsciously exchanged a glance with Shibuki.

"Although it may be a little early, I think it's about time. After all, A-Jun-san is the person you and Elder Wu trust the most. If we want to truly carry out our plan, we can't hide anything from A-Jun-san. In the future, including the other people in the village, we can't wait for the outside world to reveal my identity. That would be detrimental to the stability of the people in the village."

Menma took a deep breath, looked up and stared directly at Shibuki.

Eh?

Hearing what Mianma said.

Putting everyone else aside, Ah Jun was dumbfounded once again.

Will their identities be revealed by outsiders?
