Just as Menma said.

He is the biggest risk, the biggest time bomb, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. This is definitely enough to attract the attention of the whole world. Once Menma's identity is exposed, Takigakure will immediately be pushed to the forefront. At that time, what difference will there be between having one more Yugao or one less Yugao?

Anyway, the Hidden Mist Village is so far away from their Takigakure Village. No matter where they come from, they must pass through the Land of Fire. It is impossible for a large number of Mist Ninja troops to come. In the end, they will still have to face the pressure from the surrounding countries.

There is absolutely no difference.

The thought of this.

Shibuki was relieved, nodded and said, "You are right, Menma-kun. We have no way out. We can only move forward. Although it is a little late and even strange to say this now, Menma-kun, I still want to say, can I really trust you? The kind of trust that is at all costs!"

Shibuki looked at Menma straight in the face with an unprecedented serious expression, and asked each and every question.

At that moment, it seemed as if all of Shibuki's mind was injected into it, and his hands hanging on both sides were clenched slightly.

"Of course, Shibuki-san, Takigakure is still my ninja village. I need Takigakure, and Takigakure must need me. I will not let you, or the deceased Elder Satoru, regret it. This is my promise!"

Menma looked back at Shibuki and said firmly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave it to you, Menma-kun."

After Shibuki took a deep look at Menma in front of him, he slowly nodded and said.

He wasn't sure whether his decision was correct.

But he and the Takigakure Village really have no way out, unless he is willing to self-destruct now and go directly to the Konohagakure Village to stab Menma in the back. But let's not talk about whether doing so will be successful. Even if it succeeds, not only will their Takigakure Village not get any benefits, but they will also have to risk bearing the wrath of Menma.

How powerful is the Nine-Tailed Fox when it bursts out with all its strength?

Shibuki had no idea. The only thing he was sure of was that it was definitely not a terrifying existence that the Takigakure Village could withstand.

Since we've already boarded the pirate ship, we can only go down this path till the end.

Besides, this road is not necessarily a dead end.

It could also be a smooth road!

"Yes, don't worry, Shibuki-san!"

Menma also nodded heavily.

Soon afterwards.

After discussing some issues regarding the barrier squad and the defense squad with Shibuki, Menma left the large government hall.

Shibuki looked at Menma's departing back, a hint of worry flashing in his pupils, but in just a moment, it was replaced by a look of determination.

"Grandpa Wu, please bless us and Takigakure Village!!!"

Destruction or prosperity.

There are only two possibilities left for the future of Takigakure Village!

Different from Shimu's mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

Menma's heart had never wavered. This was the path he had chosen, and there was nothing to regret or hesitate about.

If I really feel shaken.

It would have been impossible for him to choose to defect at that time.

Wouldn't it be better to stay in the Hidden Leaf Village?

The reason is that he wants to blaze a truly new path.

I also feel that I have to be true to myself.

This is Menma's decision.

After leaving the government hall, Menma went straight back to the area where he lived, where there were already six figures waiting inside. In addition to Karin and Mizuki, there were four Taki ninjas, three men and one woman, all of whom were young people under the age of 20.

These four people are the ones who have performed the best in Menma's training over the past two months, and they are also the four people with the strongest chakra aura within Menma's perception range.

Although according to the standards of the five major ninja villages, they can only be barely considered as Chunin, but Menma believes that as long as they are trained properly, these four people may not be unable to grow into Jonin. Of course, it also depends on the efforts of the four people themselves.

Anyway, Menma has no shortage of training methods, especially at the technical level. At the very least, he still has Orochimaru to back him up.

Therefore, Menma decisively selected four people from the group of Takigakure ninjas and focused on training them. These were his first batch of cornerstone subordinates in Takigakure Village.

"I will be leaving the village soon. Shuiyue will be in charge of the affairs of the barrier class for the time being. If you four have any questions, you must report to Shuiyue immediately. The operation of the barrier will be the same as before. If there is anything else you need, just go and contact Ajun-san. Do you understand?"

Menma stood at the top, looking at Shuiyue and the others with a very serious look and said.

"Yes, Master Yifang, I will follow your orders!"

Several people, including Shuiyue, immediately bowed and responded.

"Ah, very good."

Menma also nodded in satisfaction.

After briefly explaining some details.

He simply waved his hand and let Shuiyue and the others leave.

"Kaorin, during the few days I'm away, please keep a close eye on Suigetsu. This guy is still in an unstable stage and needs more attention. If necessary, you can report to Shibuki-san. My absence this time is also a good test for him."

Looking at Shuiyue’s departing back.

Until the chakra aura completely disappeared.

Menma also turned his head and looked at Karin on the left and said.

This time when he leaves the ninja village, he is likely to encounter strong enemies. Karin and Mizuki, who are still very weak, are not suitable to be brought out, especially Karin. She is indeed outstanding in medical care and perception, but her actual combat power is nothing special. As for Mizuki, her strength is indeed close to that of a senior ninja.

But compared with the enemies we have to face, it is not enough.

Bringing Chunchun out would just be holding yourself back.

It’s better to save it.

"Well, no problem, don't worry about that, Menma!"

Xianglin also nodded heavily and replied.

"But are you going to set off now? Won't you make some more preparations?"

After a slight pause, Xianglin continued.

"Haha, of course not that fast. I still have to wait for the exact information from Orochimaru-san. Also, before I go out, I have to meet another person, or to be more precise, a beast."

Menma said with a slight smile.

"Ah? A person? A beast?"

A look of doubt appeared on Xianglin's face, and she asked subconsciously.

However, Menma didn't have any intention of explaining.

Instead, his gaze was directed towards the distant south, and his eyes became extremely deep at that moment.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 235 Fu and Chongming

There is not much necessary preparation before departure.

The most important point is to wait for more accurate information from Kabuto Yakushi. After all, the last information received was several days ago, not to mention that it was just a vague approximate location. If we really rush over, we may not be able to find this Six-Tails Jinchuriki. After all, he is an elite jonin under normal circumstances, and once the tailed beast chakra unleashes, he will be at the level of Kage.

Even the weakest shadow level cannot be detected so easily.

In the original work, the Akatsuki organization was able to locate the specific locations of the tailed beasts so easily, wasn’t it all because of Zetsu?

That thing is a natural detective.

At least in the current ninja world, no one can escape Zetsu's detection. White Zetsu's secret technique is definitely the No. 1 in the world. Spore Technique, Disguise Technique, Mayfly Technique, each one is more buggy than the other.

However, Menma is not worried about White Zetsu's hidden reconnaissance.

The powerful Kagura mind's eye perception technique that the Uzumaki clan's bloodline is born with allows Menma to detect all chakra fluctuations within a radius of twenty to thirty miles around himself. It is absolutely impossible for him to get close to Menma without being noticed.

There is also the malicious perception that comes with the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

All the techniques of transformation are extremely ridiculous in Menma's eyes.

Even though the art of impersonation can perfectly imitate the breath and fluctuations of chakra, Menma can still recognize him at first glance!

This is also one of the reasons why Menma dared to leave Konoha decisively. Otherwise, White Zetsu alone would be enough to give Menma a hard time.

The same applies to this trip. Menma must be more cautious. He knows very well that the Akatsuki organization has assigned corresponding members to monitor the major tailed beast Jinchūriki in the ninja world. In the original work, it was Nagato who was responsible for capturing the Six-Tails personally. At this stage, Nagato will definitely not follow Yugao all the time, but it is highly likely that he will let Zetsu be responsible for monitoring.

Menma must also take the risks of the Akatsuki organization into consideration.

However, if it really happens, it doesn't matter. Menma has some ideas that he is planning to put into practice.

Something that must be said.

This Nagato kid is a true "idealist".

It has the same purpose as Madara-ye.

After waiting in the village for almost three more days, Menma obtained the news from Kabuto Yakushi through a special channel that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao had appeared in the territory of a small country called "Spring" in the southeastern coastal area a day ago, and his location was re-located by the Anbu pursuit team of the Hidden Mist Village. The traces left by the two sides in the battle were searched by the people sent by Orochimaru, and the specific location of Yugao was locked.

Then he followed all the way.

It was hanging far behind the Hidden Mist Village team.

Then the news was sent back immediately.

It was already a day later when Menma received the message.

"Should I say he is indeed Orochimaru-san's most trusted subordinate? His efficiency is really high!"

Menma smiled lightly, looking at the information that was passed to him through special channels. The face of Kabuto Yakushi appeared in his mind, and he thought secretly in his heart.

Having a subordinate like Kabuto Yakushi really makes things less stressful.

Moreover, this guy's strength is not weak. He can even have a slight fight with a Kage-level strongman. He has a strong affinity for natural energy. The Ryuchidong Senjutsu that Orochimaru cannot learn, but Kabuto Yakushi can easily master it.

To put it bluntly, this guy also has the potential to reach the super shadow level.

If possible, Menma would also like to have such a subordinate, but unfortunately he can't do it.

"It's time to set off. I wonder if that girl has finished her training. If not, we can only wait until we get back to talk about it."

Menma squeezed his right hand slightly, crushing the scroll on his palm directly. Then he leaped away from the spot and rushed towards the outside of the village.

After spending ten or twenty minutes.

Menma came to a special area in the eastern part of the village.

This is Fu’s exclusive training area.

The person that Menma mentioned before that he wanted to meet was the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki in his own ninja village. However, when he came two days ago, Fu seemed to be undergoing some very important training, so Menma did not see Fu.

Menma was not sure whether he could see Fu today.

If the other person is still not available, then we'll have to wait until he comes back.

But this time my luck is apparently good.

By the time Menma arrived.

Fu happened to come out of the house where she lived.

On both sides were the two Taki ninjas who usually guarded Fu.

"Eh? Mian... ahem... Yifang-san? You suddenly came here today. Is there something going on?"

The moment Fu saw Menma, she was also slightly startled, and asked with a hint of surprise.

"It's like this, Fu, Yifang-sang came to see you two days ago, but at that time, you were still training, so I didn't notify you."

Echizen, who was sitting nearby, also quickly spoke to Fu.

"Oh? I see. Then come in first, Fang Yisan."

Fu nodded slightly, then turned sideways to make an invitation gesture.
