Chapter 273 The Situation Between Each Other

“Father, the future may be uncertain, but I feel that at least by following Lord Menma, we can see different possibilities for the future. Besides, Lord Menma has been kind to us.”

After Menma left.

The father and son remained in the same spot.

After a brief silence...

Wu Gou seemed to have mustered all her courage, looked up at Wu Wei, and said in a very firm tone.

Just like the Hideaki High School that they wanted to win over.

Facing the father and son, Wuwei and Wugou.

Menma also spoke relatively frankly about his plans and the goals he wanted to achieve. He never hid his selfish motives, but he also had his own firm goals for the future.

Mianma clearly understands that an outstanding leader, one who can attract others to follow and obey, must have a clear goal and plan.

A person who is content with whatever comes their way and takes things one step at a time will never gain the approval of others.

Even Menma's younger brother, Naruto, has a firm goal, both in the original story and in this life.

Whether it's realistic or not, ridiculous or not, doesn't matter.

Ultimately, there was a clear goal at play.

It can help Naruto gain recognition and followers among his peers.

Orochimaru is the same.

This is a basic quality that a person in a position of power must possess. Menma was very clear about this from the beginning. More importantly, he was not deceiving others, but was really moving towards this goal, because it did not conflict with realizing his personal selfish desires and completing his personal revenge.

On the contrary, it should be said that it is an inevitable choice on the same path!

Both in public and private terms.

Wugou agrees that the face is pockmarked.

Not to mention the prior commitments made.

Wugou hopes her father won't change his mind.

"It seems you've really grown up, Wugou."

Wuwei looked at Wugou with a hint of relief.

"Father?"

"Don't worry, Wugou, even for your sake, I will not betray Menma-sama. You still need Menma-sama to truly return to your human form, so why would I do something foolish?"

Wuwei gently patted his son's shoulder and said softly.

The formation of a power.

Beliefs and goals are of course the most important.

But the most fundamental element remains a community of shared interests.

Especially for leaders, it is essential to ensure, or rather, to achieve the interests and goals of those below them, in order to truly gain more recognition and followers.

This is the most realistic view!

This is also the biggest reason why Mianma can trust Wuwei to a large extent. As long as Wuwei still values his son, Wuwei will definitely be at Mianma's service.

When Wugou heard her father's words, the string hanging in her heart relaxed a little.

"Go ahead. If nothing unexpected happens, we should get news from Lord Menma within two days. We should then take action accordingly!"

"Yes, Father!"

Menma, who had already left, was unaware that Wugou had almost warned his father for his plan. He was still secretly preparing to take backup measures if anything went wrong with Wuwei or Wugou. This is actually a very normal part of human nature.

Even relationships that have stood the test of time can still be betrayed.

Let alone people you've just met?

Menma will make bold decisions that require courage, but she will also make preparations in advance to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

And it was almost immediately after Menma left Hozuki Castle and reunited with Suigetsu, Karin, and the others.

"Spiritual communication!"

If the face is numb, one should immediately use spiritual techniques.

"Menma-sama!"

It directly summoned a small lizard that was about one meter long.

The lacquer rock lizards that Menma formed a summoning contract with are an entire group, not just a single powerful ninja beast. Besides lacquer earth, there are a few large lizards that can be used for combat, and some smaller lizards that can be used for reconnaissance and information transmission.

This can be said to be extremely convenient for noodle makers.

Because of the art of spirit communication, as long as multiple people form the same contract.

This allows for timely information delivery regardless of distance.

Moreover, its confidentiality is extremely high.

The reason Menma didn't covet the Ryuchi Cave contract from Orochimaru was because there was some information Menma wanted Orochimaru to know.

They are not family after all.

"Send this scroll back, and also have Utakata tell Shibuki-san that we can begin the operation!"

Menma handed a scroll from his pocket and spoke to the dark lizard in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Menma, I will obey your command!"

The dark lizard swallowed the scroll that Mianma had handed it to him whole.

Then.

With a "poof" sound.

It simply turned into smoke and disappeared.

After obtaining the spirit contract scroll of the Lacquer Rock Wild Lizard Clan, Menma immediately had Karin sign it. Later, after Utakata joined, he also made Utakata a contractor so that the three of them could still exchange information when they were separated.

I didn't bring Yu Gao this time.

One reason was to strengthen the defenses of Takigakure Village.

Another reason is to facilitate the transmission of information.

"Menma, can we really move on to the next stage now? What if that person coordinates with us from the inside? Won't we be in serious trouble then?!"

And it was right after Menma finished conveying the message.

From one side, Karin stepped forward, looking at Menma with a slightly solemn expression and asked.

To outsiders.

Karin has always viewed this with the utmost vigilance.

Karin originally thought that the second phase of the plan was in progress.

Menma would take Wuwei and his son Wugou with her and Suigetsu to that Hozuki Castle to integrate the grass ninja there. Although doing so would indeed easily cause unrest among the grass ninja, making it difficult to integrate them, and could even trigger problems such as a 'camp uprising'.

However, from the perspective of trust, this is the safest approach.

"Yes, Lord Menma, having no precautions at all is tantamount to handing over the choice to them. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Hozuki Suigetsu spoke cautiously as well.

After spending a longer period of time together.

Especially after Menma's side seemed to be rapidly gaining strength, Mizuki's previous feelings faded a lot. It's not that Mizuki is now completely devoted to Menma.

If things really go wrong, Mizuki will definitely be the first one to lead the escape. But at least compared to the beginning, Mizuki's level of recognition and trust in Menma has increased a lot. Perhaps Menma can indeed succeed. Not to mention that Menma has also promised Mizuki a big "sweet date"!

If given a choice, Shuiyue would probably prefer to see Mianma succeed.

This is currently a rather conflicted period in Shuiyue's mindset.

However, in the current situation, Shuiyue still shares the same view as Xianglin, feeling that they cannot place too much trust in Wuwei and Wugou, the father and son.

If problems arise, wouldn't their entire plan be ruined?

"I understand what you mean, Karin, but this is the best option at this stage. Unless we're willing to take on a mess later, which is clearly not in our interest, Kusagakure must maintain a relatively complete fighting force. At least 70-80% of the Kusagakure ninja's fighting force must be able to join our integration plan. Only in this way will our operation be meaningful. Risk and reward often go hand in hand. At least compared to others, Wuwei-san and Wugou-kun still have a foundation of trust!"

Mianma gently shook his head and said.

There is a basic level of trust, as well as shared interests.

And most importantly, even the current Wugou (a type of traditional Chinese medicine) cannot do without the help of Mianma (another type of traditional Chinese medicine).

A three-pronged approach.

Mianma felt that she didn't need to worry too much, as the risks were far less than manageable.

"But..."

Karin still had some concerns and wanted to say something more.

"We're about to set off too. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy's reinforcements should be arriving soon!"

Menma waved his hand, directly interrupting Karin's subsequent words.

"alright, I got it."

Karin pursed her lips and could only nod.

"Don't worry, Karin, everything will be fine!"

Menma smiled and patted Karin's head gently, saying softly.

"Ok!"

"Well then, let's go, time waits for no one!"
