The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

A gentle yet resolute expression seemed to appear on the Nine-Tails' face.

Nibi Matatabi.

As Kurama said, he is indeed a being who appears to be extremely violent, but whose personality is actually quite gentle.

This is why Yukito was able to gain the approval of Matatabi.

Because Yukito's personality is also that of a strong yet gentle being.

For the Tailed Beasts, there are very few humans who can gain their approval. Therefore, since the emergence of the Jinchuriki system, there are very few Jinchuriki who can be called perfect. In the Hidden Cloud Village, there have been two or three generations of Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails and Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails. Only Yugito and Killer Bee in this generation have gained the approval of Matatabi and Gyūki, respectively.

It can unleash the power of both tailed beasts perfectly.

Yes.

Matataru truly considers Yugito a friend, and Menma uses this as a starting point to persuade Matataru. Menma promises to guarantee Yugito's life in exchange for Matataru's basic trust and help.

Then there's the added threat of the Ten-Tails.

With the added testimony of Kurama, Saiken, and Jōmyō, the three tailed beasts, and their combined persuasion, Matatabi, after a moment of contemplation, readily agreed to assist Menma's request.

He directly and voluntarily separated a portion of his chakra and gave it to Menma.

From then on, Menma's body contained the chakra of the four tailed beasts. As long as there were no specific restrictions, Menma could gather the four tailed beasts and have a party within his body, if he wanted to and allowed it, by using the attraction of chakra!

And it was also with the entry and absorption of the chakra of the traveler.

Menma could clearly feel that her physical strength had changed slightly again, which further confirmed her previous conjecture.

Whether a small Ten-Tails can be successfully created is still a big unknown, but there is no doubt that this method can make one stronger.

The premise is that your body can withstand it.

Fortunately, the vortex clan has a truly strong vitality.

Over the past year, Mianma has also paid great attention to improving her physical fitness, and she has never stopped conducting cell activation experiments, hoping to achieve a qualitative leap in her life at some point in the future.

It's just that we need to pay attention to all these aspects.

Moreover, such experiments are also beneficial to other operations. For example, although Matatabi agreed to assist Menma, there was a prerequisite that Menma must save Yugito's life. Once the Tailed Beast is extracted from the Jinchuriki, even if it is gradually unsealed using the gentlest means, it may still endanger the Jinchuriki's life.

If you forcibly detach yourself, then it's simply a matter of 'death'.

In order to save Yukito's life.

Menma also needs to put more effort into the sealing techniques and experiments on enhancing vitality. He is indeed somewhat confident now, but there is still a little bit missing. He will wait until Menma and Orochimaru reach an agreement on another matter.

Menma dared to start extracting the Two-Tails Matatabi's chakra from Yugito.

It's worth mentioning that Menma never considered trying to persuade Yukito, who was a native of the Cloud Ninja.

Menma didn't think anyone would listen to her instigation and stand on her side; Yu Gao was an exception, okay?

Therefore, when talking to Matatabi, Menma used a special sealing technique to forcibly block Yugito's mind. Although it was unlikely that Yugito could escape before all of his plans were completed, some necessary precautions were still necessary.

This is yet another goal that has been successfully achieved.

As Menma stepped out of the underground chamber where Yukito was imprisoned, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Everything was unfolding in the direction he had planned.

A numb face naturally brings a sense of pleasure.

"Next, we need to focus on the other plans. The whereabouts of the Three-Tailed Isobu and that other guy are also running out of time..."

Mianma gently exhaled a breath of stale air, silently thinking to himself.

And it was at this very moment.

Suddenly, Mianma had a thought.

This conveys a special kind of sensation.

"Spiritual communication!"

Mianma immediately bit his finger, quickly formed hand seals, and slammed it against the ground. The white smoke that followed quickly dissipated.

A small brown lizard, less than 50 centimeters long, appeared in front of Mianma.

"Lord Menma, this is a message from Lady Karin."

The small brown lizard bowed slightly in greeting upon seeing Mianma, then spoke softly with a respectful expression.

The words had just been spoken.

The lizard opened its mouth wide, and after a violent rise and fall of its abdomen, a miniature scroll was spat out of its mouth.

Mianma's eyes flashed, and he immediately picked up the scroll, quickly unfolded it, and looked at the contents recorded inside.

Mianma's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Hmph, does a mere Sand Village dare to try and cause trouble?!"

His words were filled with a chilling intent.

The information that Karin conveyed was very concise and clear.

Just a few words.

The only information to report was that the Sand Village's border troops showed signs of activity, with over a thousand Sand Ninja already gathered at the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Grass, and their numbers seemed to be increasing.

This situation is already quite obvious.

This was also far beyond Mianma's expectations.

If it weren't for that great victory before, and they were still in a standoff with Kumogakure, plus the advance of Konoha's troops, Menma wouldn't find Sunagakure's actions strange. Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is something humans love to do.

But the current situation is clearly unfolding in a completely different way.

What gives a weak village like Sunagakure the audacity to get involved?

Isn't this a joke?!

To put it bluntly, given Menma's current strength and the power he wields, if he were truly determined, he could very well forcefully destroy Sunagakure.

Surely the Fifth Kazekage couldn't have lost his mind, could he?

Even if Maki is out of his mind, Menma doesn't believe that Chiyo and Ebizo are out of their minds, so let's put that possibility aside.

The only remaining explanation is...

'Those guys from Konoha have gotten themselves into trouble!'

A sharp glint flashed in Mianma's eyes, and he quickly made a judgment.

"Go back and tell Karin that there's no need to do much. Unless the other side launches an attack first, the focus should remain on defense and monitoring until then."

After frowning and thinking for a while, Mianma also looked down at the small brown lizard and spoke.

"Yes, Lord Menma!"

The small brown lizard responded with its head bowed.

"puff!"

It simply turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Mianma stood still, his brows still furrowed.

The sudden action of Sunagakure.

It really disrupted Menma's plans.

In Menma's view, the defeat of Kumogakure and the strong surprise attack of Iwagakure would definitely deter other ninja villages. Putting aside the fact that Sunagakure would never get involved in this mess, since they had no direct interest in it and it didn't pose a threat to them now.

Don't talk about any grand vision or prescient ideas.

If all the major ninja villages truly possessed such capabilities, Konoha would have been destroyed by the four great ninja villages long after the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Wasn't Konoha's ability to emerge victorious in three consecutive Shinobi World Wars precisely due to the mutual hostility and conflict among the four great ninja villages?

Therefore, in Menma's judgment, Sunagakure should be like a frightened ostrich, burying its head deep in the mud and deceiving itself to protect itself.

Instead of adopting such a high-risk offensive posture.

The Sand Village would do that.

There is only one explanation.

Konoha gave them the necessary courage, as well as the most crucial benefit, which had to be something that could be seen and touched immediately.

If Sunagakure is acting this way, Konoha will likely take similar actions against Kirigakure, whose interests are even more intertwined.

Menma hadn't forgotten that the two or three thousand ninja troops from Kirigakure hadn't yet returned to their homeland.

This could become a sharp blade that plunges directly into the heart of Takigakure at any moment.

'Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure—if there really is a plan, there should be corresponding actions within the next two days.'

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he was silently pondering in his heart.

"Alright then, let me see just how determined you are."

Mianma clenched his fists slightly, a sharp, cold glint appearing in his pupils.

Just as Menma firmly believed.

The movement of Sunagakure signifies that Konohagakure is also taking action. Almost immediately after Karin received news of the movements from Sunagakure, Menma also received news from Orochimaru about the large-scale deployment of Konohagakure's forces.

And it's not just the previous three or four thousand people.

They joined up with the reinforcements that came from behind.

The number of Konoha ninjas who came in two waves to encircle the village exceeded five thousand, which is close to one-third of the village's strength.

Although almost all of them are chuunibyou or genin.

But a ninja army of this size.

Even when Jiraiya is still the leader.

Normally, only the other four major ninja villages could handle it. Any small or medium-sized ninja village, even the Amegakure led by Hanzo of the Salamander, would not be able to match it, because the current Jiraiya is not the same Jiraiya as before.

Not to mention the five thousand Konoha ninja.

It's not a number that Amegakure can handle.

In addition, there was the Kirigakure force that arrived with them, which numbered nearly three thousand Kirigakure ninja. Although the leader, Mei Terumi, was not considered to have any prestige by outsiders, Menma regarded her as a Kage-level figure with considerable strength.

Although he cannot be compared to Jiraiya.
