The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

At this stage, reaching a peace agreement with Hidden Light Village is the most important thing.

Like Konoha, they also need a relatively stable recovery period.

"Haiyi, let's start searching. We can't delay any longer. We must resolve this issue before the Light Ninja do.

Shikaku exhaled a breath of stale air and said in a deep voice.

If there is an option.

Shikaku did not want to be violent towards his comrades, even the Root members who were following Danzo's orders, but they were all ninjas of Konoha.

But the current situation forces Shikaku to take strong measures.

Yu Lujiu had just finished speaking.

"boom!"

"boom!"

In the positions on both sides.

Kakashi and Might Guy also stepped forward simultaneously, intending to cooperate with Inoichi to attack Hoshino directly.

The energy is firmly locked in.

The overwhelming sense of pressure was palpable.

Ah Xing's expression also changed slightly.

He was just a special Jonin, and a ninja who was skilled in sensory techniques. He couldn't beat any of the four people present.

Even so.

Ah Xing immediately adopted a fighting stance.

Just then.

Rapid footsteps echoed from the corridor not far away.

A moment later.

Compare it to the figure approaching.

“Shikaku-san, outside the inn, there is a ninja who claims to be acting on the orders of the Tenkage and requests to meet with you.”

A hurried voice followed.

The moment I heard those words.

The expressions of the people present changed slightly.

"Ah Xing, I hope you will stop causing trouble. The best option is to confess honestly. Of course, it may be too late now."

Lu Jiu took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.

"Keep an eye on him. Inoichi, Guy, Kakashi, you come with me."

"Ah, don't worry, Shikaku."

"Ok!"

Kakashi and the other two on one side responded in unison.

Immediately.

Aside from leaving Yamanaka Inoichi and Might Guy to continue guarding A-Xing.

Shikaku also led Kakashi quickly toward the front hall.

When Shikaku and Kakashi arrived, in the open space of the front hall, Wugou's upright figure came into their view.

This was not the first time Shikaku and Kakashi had seen Mugou.

But every time they met, their hearts would tighten. This was not only because after arriving in Hidden Light Village, they knew that Muku was the one who was highly suspected of being an artificial tailed beast on the battlefield, who had transformed into that pitch-black monster with huge fleshy wings.

Furthermore, it was because her innocent eyes seemed to be able to easily see through people's hearts.

Just meeting Wugou's gaze would cause him to waver to some extent.

Even seasoned ninjas like Kakashi and Shikaku, with their vast life experience, are no exception to this.

"It is impolite of me to visit so late at night, but I am here on orders. Please forgive me, Mr. Shikaku."

Looking at Shikaku and Kakashi, who had come to a closer position.

A faint smile played on Wu Gou's lips as he spoke lightly.

It's clearly just a very ordinary social phrase.

But a heavy gloom hung over Shikaku's heart.

"No, Wugou-kun's arrival at this time must be for something very important. May I ask what Lord Tenkage has instructed us to do?"

Lu Jiuqiang suppressed his unease and asked in a calm tone.

Especially at times like these, it's crucial not to show weakness.

Because the worst-case scenario has not yet occurred.

As long as they don't try to wipe us all out at once, it means there's still room for maneuver.

"It's not a particularly big deal, but it seems that a rude little mouse from your village has wandered into a place it shouldn't have gone. Although it didn't cause any damage, Lord Tenkage is very dissatisfied, so he sent me here to see what kind of explanation your village will give?"

Wugou still maintained a calm expression, but the words he spoke made Shikaku and Kakashi's hearts sink instantly.

Although I was mentally prepared the moment I heard the announcement.

But then it happened.

Both Shikaku and Kakashi found it troublesome.

Their relationship was already very strained, and now, through this half-baked method, they have managed to create a temporary peace.

But then another unexpected event occurred.

Fortunately.

The other side's stance clearly indicates that there is still room for negotiation.

Otherwise, there would be no need for them to come to your door to ask for an explanation; they could simply come and collect it themselves.

At the very least, if even one member of this delegation is allowed to leave Guangyin Village tomorrow, that would be considered a sign of their mercy.

Of course, what Shikaku didn't know was...

No matter how much pressure Menma puts on Konoha, even if they refuse to sign the agreement, they can't really drive this delegation into a deadly situation.

After all, Matt Kay is still standing here.

Above the ninja world, others are unaware of the power of Might Guy's Eight Gates.

Don't you understand what hemp flour is?

Just now with Karin, Menma had one more thing he didn't say, and that was because of Might Guy!

You've angered them.

He went on a rampage right there in the Hidden Light Village.

Who can withstand it?

Even Menma himself could face an uncertain fate.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if Menma's Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed incredibly skillful and can evade Might Guy's fatal blow, what about the others in Hidden Light Village?

Let's not even mention Karin. As for Utakata, Muko, Fu, and the others, Menma would find it hard to accept the death of any of them, no matter who it was.

Therefore, before Menma himself truly ascends to the level of Bloodline Limit and obtains supreme power comparable to that of the Rabbit Goddess,

Menma would never push this Blue Beast of Konoha too far.

However, Shikaku was unaware of this.

He completely felt that the fate of his group was in someone else's hands.

The current moment.

Shika took a deep breath.

Calm your mind as much as possible, and get your brain working at full capacity.

Shikaku looked directly at Muku and said in a very serious tone, "Please rest assured, Muku-kun, Konoha will definitely give your village a proper explanation. However, this will have to wait until we report to the Hokage. I wonder if your village could be lenient and return that rude person to us."

"Return them? Lord Shikaku must be joking. Those who commit crimes in our village should be tried by our Hidden Light Village. Of course, our Hokage understands that this rude person was not sent by your village's Hokage. You are all free to return tomorrow. However, whether the agreement we made can be implemented depends on your village's Hokage's decision. Some people will at least have to pay a price, won't they?"

Wu Gou looked at Lu Jiu with an indifferent expression, and then uttered words that were full of meaning.

This caused Shikaku and Kakashi's expressions to change slightly.

They were well aware of Yamanaka Fu's identity, but the fact that Hidden Light Village, or rather Menma, could find out or guess it so easily was beyond their expectations. The secrets of Root's identity were so profound that even their Fifth Hokage had never known them.

This is the kind of information.

Apart from Danzo.

It's impossible for anyone else in Konoha to know this right now.

How could sesame seeds actually do that?

'Looks like it's Orochimaru...'

Just a second later, a very reasonable guess appeared in Menma's mind. After all, no matter how smart Shikaku was, he couldn't possibly know Menma's 'precognition' ability. From a realistic point of view...

That's the only possibility.

"Mukuro, may I have an audience with Lord Tenkage? I would like to offer some suggestions."

Shika took a deep breath and continued.

"There's really no need for that, Shikaku-san. Please pass on the relevant information to your village's Hokage. Also, please leave the village tomorrow as planned. If you don't want to leave, then stay forever."

"Keng"

After calmly saying this, Wu Gou tossed down a bloodstained headband and turned to leave.

"Please wait a moment..."
