The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

This time, however, the goddess of fate clearly favored Menma.

The search operation made progress shortly after it began.

"Interesting. Is Mr. Kado really planning to personally take action, just like in the original story? And today no less? Haha, he seems quite confident indeed."

In a deserted corner of the road on the southeast side of this town.

Menma stood rooted to the spot, holding a kunai directly to a timid middle-aged man.

The intelligence was clearly obtained from this middle-aged man.

The reason Menma was able to catch this middle-aged man so quickly was that he himself delivered himself to his door. Menma and Naruto had only been acting separately for a short time when they discovered that this middle-aged man was sneaking around following him.

Even a fool could guess that this guy is up to no good.

Sure enough, after capturing him, they immediately threatened him with a kunai, and he spilled everything, including his identity, how he was bribed by Kado, and how he betrayed his fellow countrymen. He had no backbone at all. Luckily, Menma had prepared many methods, just waiting to test them on this guy.

They were even prepared to take him back and have Kakashi interrogate him using genjutsu if he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, none of these methods were used.

Of course, this guy isn't exactly tough, so he wouldn't know much. The only useful information he knows is that Gato will personally lead a group of people to deal with them, this group of Konoha ninjas. But isn't that enough?

"Um, Ninja Master, I've told you everything I know. Can I leave now?"

The middle-aged man looked at Mianma with a humble expression and asked timidly.

"Oh, of course, that's no problem. I'll personally see you off on your journey."

With a cold expression, he glanced at the middle-aged man, his words devoid of any warmth.

"Ah, then there's no need to trouble you, sir. Uh? What? Send me on my way? This?"

Upon hearing Mianma's words, the middle-aged man was initially delighted, but then seemed to realize something.

He looked up at Mianma with a look of horror.

"Shh."

Before it could react at all.

With a flick of his right hand, he numbed his face.

A glint of cold light appeared.

"Pfft!"

"Well!?"

A large amount of blood splattered out.

The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively grabbed his neck.

"Heh...heh..."

I want to say something.

Yet he appeared completely powerless.

It collapsed limply to the ground, and within seconds, it was lifeless, with only its wide-open eyes remaining, as if questioning Mianma.

Menma glanced coldly at the middle-aged man before turning and leaving. A native of the Land of Waves could so easily betray his country and his fellow countrymen. Killing such a person would not be a psychological burden for Menma, let alone the current Menma, or even the Menma of the past.

Besides, if we don't kill this guy, are we going to let him go back and report? This kind of person has no credibility whatsoever.

They obtained the information they wanted.

The dough doesn't stop at all.

He immediately went to meet up with Naruto.

"Huh? What did you say? You have intelligence? So fast?"

Less than half an hour had passed since the two parted ways, and Menma had already made some progress, which Naruto found hard to believe at first.

He stared wide-eyed at Mianma.

Is this the strength of the top ninja academy? Their intelligence gathering is so efficient!

"Well, we're in luck. Mr. Kado is coming to us himself, so we don't need to put in any extra effort. We just need to be ready to welcome him."

Mianma smiled faintly and replied softly.

"Haha, another battle is about to begin. This time, I'm determined to get there before you all!"

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together eagerly.

Mianma still wore that faint smile and nodded slightly.

Then, the two of them leaped up and rushed towards the location of the bridge. According to the intelligence they had just received, Mr. Cardo had already arrived with a large army.

This time, they were full of confidence and planned to eliminate all the ninjas and the last group of resistance fighters from the Land of Waves, led by Tazuna, once and for all, in order to achieve complete control over the Land of Waves.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 65 Report and Arrival

It is located on the coast facing the Land of Fire.

Across the strait that Menma and the others crossed yesterday, there stands an unfinished bridge. This is the bridge that Tazuna has been longing for, personally overseeing its construction, hoping to bring courage and hope to the people of the Land of Waves.

After more than a year, we have now reached the final stage.

As long as this final part of the project is completed.

This would allow the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire to be connected smoothly.

This is something Kado wouldn't allow, but this big merchant's brain isn't really that good, at least in Menma's opinion. There are plenty of ways to destroy the bridge, and plenty of opportunities to kill Tazuna.

But this person insisted on choosing the most complex and difficult-to-achieve option.

It's a wonder he became such a successful businessman; you could only say he was incredibly lucky before. Otherwise, with that kind of brain, if his luck had been even slightly worse, he would have been devoured long ago. But this also conveniently makes things easier for Mianma. If Kado were truly a smart person, that would be a real problem.

Menma led Naruto to the entrance of the bridge, where they saw Sasuke and Sakura standing guard on either side, while Kakashi leaned against a branch of a large tree, leisurely looking at the 'treasure book' he carried with him.

Upon noticing Menma and Naruto's figures.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

He gently closed the book, leaped up, and landed in front of the two. He spoke first, asking, "Menma, Naruto, you're back so soon. Have you discovered something?"

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, it's like this..."

Menma, who had approached, nodded and then briefly reported the information he had gathered to Kakashi.

After listening, Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Kakashi initially thought that this situation was related to the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village. Even though Zabuza was a rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, who could say for sure what would happen in the ninja world? Every ninja village has its own secrets. As a ninja, Kakashi had been in the ninja world for over 20 years and understood this very well.

Therefore, Kakashi would not make a decision lightly before everything was truly settled. But now it seems that this mission doesn't really involve anything too deep; it's just the result of a merchant named Gato being blinded by greed.

"Is this absolutely certain? Mmmm!"

Kakashi looked at Menma with a slightly serious expression and asked.

"Most likely, Kakashi-sensei. Verifying this is quite simple. If the information is correct, we should see Mr. Gato arrive with his men in one or two hours at most. If by then..."

Mianma nodded slightly, and had only just begun to answer a few words.

"Waaaaah!!"

Suddenly, the sound of a large ship sailing towards them came from the sea to the due south.

Ordinary people may not be able to hear about it so easily.

Kakashi, Menma, and others, as ninjas, possess far greater sensitivity to their five senses than ordinary people. They can easily detect even the slightest changes.

The gaze that was subconsciously turned away.

"Look, here comes Kakashi-sensei."

"I look like a limp face," he said with a smile.

Especially when Menma couldn't detect any fluctuations of chakra within his perception range, the smile in Menma's pupils grew even stronger.

There really are such stupid people!

"You arrived right on time!"

Naruto, who was sitting nearby, also spoke up with a hint of surprise.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Kakashi shook his head, seemingly amused.

Immediately afterwards.

They then sped off with Menma and Naruto toward the direction the ship had come from. Sasuke and Sakura, who were far away in the center of the bridge, also noticed the actions of Kakashi, Menma, and Naruto.

"Huh? Where are Kakashi-sensei and the others going? Have they already located Gato? Or is it that ship?"

Sakura reached the left railing of the bridge, placed her hands on it, and looked at the three people walking away. With a hint of curiosity, she spoke.

Sasuke glanced at it subconsciously, but didn't pay much attention. He had already said yesterday that Gato was just an ordinary person. No matter how rich he was, Sasuke wouldn't be interested in Gato. Right now, he was only interested in becoming stronger!

"Huh? How can Kakashi-sensei and the others walk on water? Huh? What kind of ability is that?"

However, Sasuke had just turned his gaze back the next second.

I was drawn back by Sakura's exclamation.

And that gaze that turned again.

This time, Erzhuzi was a little unsettled.

After all, Sasuke and Sakura had not yet been exposed to training in climbing trees or walking on water at this time. Sakura didn't even mention it when she saw Kakashi, Menma, and Naruto able to run at high speed on the water as if it were flat.

Sasuke's eyes shone with a special light at that moment.

They watched as the three people had completely disappeared into the distance.

Sasuke didn't say much, but he had already made up his mind that he would definitely ask Kakashi for the answers when he returned!

Not to mention the two who remained in the same spot.

On the other side, Kakashi, Menma, and Naruto, who were speeding away, were getting closer and closer to the ship that was also approaching at high speed. Menma was not surprised at all that Naruto could walk on the water at high speed. Naruto's identity in this life was very different from that in the original work. Just because no one taught him some things in the original work did not mean that no one would teach him in this life.
