Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

It's just a matter of time.

Of course, if it's just a perception barrier, the problem isn't that big, but Menma needs to be careful about exposing his identity.

Menma also believed that Shibuki should be able to understand the meaning of his words.

It was almost at the moment when Menma finished speaking.

Shimu understood instantly and his expression changed slightly.

Only Ah Jun didn't hear the hidden meaning. After all, he didn't know Menma's identity yet. So although Ah Jun's expression was a little serious, he was not really worried. After all, it was just a perception barrier.

But what Menma said does make sense.

We still need to be on guard against the attention of the five major ninja villages.

"Well, I also think what Yifangjun said makes sense. The border defense still needs to be adjusted, especially the security and reconnaissance forces on the east side, my lord leader."

After Ajun nodded, he continued.

The so-called east side.

That is talking about the Hidden Cloud Village nakedly. Konoha has proved through decades of performance that they are indeed a ninja village with no desires or demands. They have never started a war, so basic defenses are naturally necessary.

But if we really ask how vigilant we should be, Ajun doesn't think it's necessary.

But the situation is different for the Kumogakure Village and the Iwagakure Village. These two ninja villages are bordered by the Takigakure Village to varying degrees. In the past few decades, they have more or less intended to attack the Takigakure Village. Their target is very direct, which is to target the Seven-Tails from their own ninja village.

At this point, the intention of the Hidden Cloud Village is the clearest.

That is to say, the several major ninja villages were entangled with each other and none of them was given a real chance. Otherwise, according to the rate of weakening of Takigakure Village in the past years, the Seven-Tails would have been lost long ago and would have either fallen into the hands of Kumogakure Village or been captured by Iwagakure Village.

"Well, I will consider this aspect. Let's adjust the defenses in the village first. After the adjustments in the village are completed, we will hold another meeting to discuss the defenses on the border."

Shibuki also nodded heavily and said.

Menma's identity is a top secret.

It is an existence that must be strictly guarded against.

Although Shibuki knew that it would be difficult to hide it permanently, he still hoped to delay it as long as possible.

As long as they can hold out until Menma and Fu fully master the power of the tailed beasts and become perfect jinchūriki, Shibuki believes that their Takigakure Village will be qualified to negotiate and challenge the other major ninja villages!

Chapter 233 Target Six-tailed Jinchuriki Yugao!

Chapter 233 Target—Six-tailed Jinchuriki Yugao!

Being aggressive may still not be enough.

But it must be more than enough to protect themselves, because those ninja villages cannot really put all their efforts to deal with them, Takigakure Village. As the leader of Takigakure Village, Shibuki still has a certain degree of understanding of how strong the perfect jinchūriki is.

That is definitely a powerful force that can rival the level of the Five Kage.

Not to mention that Menma is the most powerful Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Thirteen years ago, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konohagakure Village, everyone in the ninja world knew how miserable Konoha was in that battle and how heavy a price it paid.

Therefore, time, what they in Takigakure Village need most right now is time.

As long as Menma and Fu grow up, even if Menma's identity is exposed, we cannot say that we are completely fearless, but at least we will not be trapped in a situation where we cannot resist at all.

"In addition, starting today, the village will have to increase its security a few more times. If anyone is suspicious, they will be arrested immediately. If they resist... don't hold back!"

Shibuki paused slightly, as if hesitating, but finally uttered the last sentence.

When Ah Jun heard what Shemu said, he did not feel any surprise. Instead, a hint of relief appeared in the depths of his pupils. His leader had indeed grown up. If it was the Shemu of the past, he would never have issued such an order.

It’s not a question of whether or not you have a sense of the overall situation.

It's purely a matter of mentality and personality.

In the past, Shibuki did not truly regard himself as the leader of the village, which led to big problems in how he treated people and things.

This is also something that Ajun has been worried about before.

Now it seems that this leader of ours, Shemu, has grown a lot. In this case, Ajun feels much more at ease.

"Yes, Sir Chief!"

After Ah Jun suddenly bowed in response, he left immediately.

As the head of the garrison squad, the government affairs that Ajun has to deal with every day are among the most complicated in the village, second only to Shibuki.

Ah Jun left, but Mian Ma stayed a little longer on purpose.

"Menma-kun, are you worried about your identity being exposed? Don't worry, although our Takigakure Village is not as good as the five major ninja villages, we are still doing a good job in keeping secrets. At least we can ensure that your identity will not be exposed in the short term."

Shibuki thought that Menma stayed because he was worried about his identity, so he spoke directly to comfort him.

This is not just Shemu boasting.

Menma's joining the Takigakure Village was a secret in itself, and he even disguised his identity. Currently, only himself and Fu knew about it in the entire ninja village. It would not be easy for other ninja villages to steal the secrets, so this secret could be easily obtained by others.

That must be a big problem on our side.

"Well, there is a problem in this regard, but I believe that Shibuki-san can handle it. I stayed here because I have a request that I hope Shibuki-san can agree to."

Menma nodded first, then changed the subject and spoke directly.

"Hmm? Whatever it is, you can just tell me directly. As long as it is within the ability of me or the village, I will definitely agree to it."

Shibuki was stunned at first, then he spoke without any hesitation.

If he had chosen to trust Menma only because of Mizuno Satoru's request before, after experiencing today's barrier arrangement, Shibuki has begun to choose to trust Menma himself. Unlike Ah Jun's slight vigilance towards Menma, Fu is still in the stage of 'non-violent distrust' towards Menma. Shibuki still really thinks that Menma can bring about a qualitative change to his own ninja village, and he really hopes to work hand in hand with Menma in the future to create the glory of Takigakure Village together. As long as Menma's request does not exceed the limits of their ninja village and is not beyond the principle, Shibuki will support it 100%.

Shemu is not lacking in this kind of magnanimity and decisiveness.

"Haha, it's not a big problem, but I plan to leave the village for a while in the near future, maybe half a month at most. I may bring back one or two companions to join the village. I need to report to Mr. Shemu in advance, and I hope to get his permission."

Menma smiled lightly and said this as if casually.

"Menma-kun's companions? Of course you can. This can't even be considered a request. Menma-kun's companions are the people of our Takigakure Village. Menma-kun doesn't need to worry about this at all. Let alone one or two, any number will do."

Hear Menma's words.

Shibuki immediately smiled.

He had thought it was a particularly difficult request before, but this request was not even a request. Moreover, at the beginning, Shibuki knew that there were only two people at Menma's place. There must be a group of people.

Otherwise, how could Menma escape from Konoha?

I heard that Menma is still connected to that Orochimaru.

This made Shibuki even more convinced.

In his opinion, this was because Menma had stayed in the village for a while and felt that the time was right, so he let other people join in.

It's understandable, it's understandable.

Shibuki thought to himself that he was very relaxed.

"Haha, Mr. Shemu may have a little misunderstanding. The companion I want to invite this time is of a very special status. Mr. Shemu may want to listen to him before making a decision."

Menma could certainly tell what Shibuki was thinking.

He immediately waved his hand and said.

"Hmm? Special identity? Eh? What does that mean, Menma-kun?"

Shibuki was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Menma meant.

"Ahem, well, it's someone who is similar to me."

Menma coughed lightly, then continued.

"Someone of similar status to you?"

Shibuki repeated it subconsciously at first, then his face changed drastically as if he immediately realized what was going on.

"Is he also the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast from some ninja village?"

Shibuki stared at Menma with his eyes wide open and asked in a very surprised tone.

"Yes, Shibuki-san, the person I want to invite is the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village - Yugao. Yugao-san is currently on the run. I just received news a few days ago that I can preliminarily determine Yugao-san's location, so I want to invite him!"

Menma looked at Shibuki with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao.

It is currently a three-tailed Isobushi in wild mode.

These were all things Menma had been planning to win over powerful allies in the future before he defected from Konoha.

Others may not know, but as a time traveler, Menma knows the situation of the two tailed beasts in the Hidden Mist Village too well. The saying "all power that is worth utilizing" refers to such existence. A tailed beast, at worst, can be regarded as a powerful Kage-level being.

The Tailed Beast Balls that belong to the Tailed Beasts have a power that can destroy the world for ordinary ninjas.

Unless you are at the movie level, you have no right to make a fuss.

For your own plan.

Menma would naturally target this man and this beast.

When at Orochimaru's place, Menma had already communicated with Orochimaru in advance and asked Orochimaru to mobilize all his strength to search for the specific location of Yudaka and the three-tailed Isobu.

now.

The whereabouts of Sanwei Isobu is still unclear.

But Yu Gao's general traces have been determined.

Orochimaru also passed the necessary information to Menma through Kabuto Yakushi a few days ago.

The barrier of the village has already been set up.

Menma was planning to meet this fellow Yugao.

"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village defected? When did this happen?"

Although I have already guessed it.

But when he heard the exact information from Menma's mouth, Shibuki couldn't help but show a look of shock.

He really didn't expect that the "companion" Menma mentioned would be such an explosive existence.

And these are obviously not 'companions'.

People may not accept the invitation!

"In terms of time, it should have been a few years."

Menma frowned slightly and spoke in an uncertain tone.

The original work does not specify when Yudaka defected from the Hidden Mist Village. What is certain is that Yudaka is definitely in his 20s, and he definitely did not just leave the Hidden Mist Village. Orochimaru had already made this clear during the investigation.

It is also worth mentioning that the reason why Orochimaru was able to investigate the approximate location of Yugao was that he learned about it from the Hidden Mist Village.

After all, he is the most important Tailed Beast Jinchūriki in his own ninja village.

However, there has always been a special Anbu team in the Hidden Mist Village tracking Yugao.

"Menma-kun, isn't this too risky? A traitor from the Hidden Mist Village, or a Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast, this..."

Shibuki had an expression on his face that he didn't know what words to use to describe it, and he shook his head slightly and said.

Originally, our ninja village already had a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from the Hidden Leaf Village. Putting aside other things, if we also accept the Six-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from the Hidden Mist Village, then wouldn't we be 100% sure to fight against the two major ninja villages of Konoha and Hidden Mist in the future?

When he thought of that scene, Shibuki's face turned slightly pale subconsciously.

"Shibuki-san, there are no outsiders here, so I'll be frank. When Elder Wu and you agreed to let me join the village, you... no, I should say that we had no way out. Yudaka-san's identity is special? Can it be compared with mine? Shibuki-san, you should also know that my identity will be exposed sooner or later, and I can't always carry this false identity. I joined the village and never concealed my intention, which is to avenge Konoha. We are destined to face each other in the future, so we should not consider the so-called risks now, but should see what kind of benefits there will be. What do you think? Shibuki-san."

Menma shook his head slightly, an expression gradually changing on his face. Menma looked straight at Shibuki and spoke seriously.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 234 Before departure

Very straightforward words that clearly convey the truth.

It's not that Shibuki hadn't thought of it before, but he had deceived himself for a moment. After Menma pointed it out, Shibuki also remained silent.

indeed.
