Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Not to mention that the Nine-Tailed Fox has always been a representative of violence and non-cooperation.

The first two Jinchūriki of their own ninja village had never reached an agreement with the Nine-Tails.

Tsunade didn't believe that Menma, who was only 13 years old, could do this easily.

"I also thought it was impossible before, but in that battle, Menma's use of the Nine-Tails' chakra became more smooth and natural. Even when all six tails appeared, he was still able to maintain his sanity and did not enter the half-tailed beast form. If it wasn't for the Nine-Tails' cooperation, I can't think of any other reason."

Jiraiya said with a soft sigh.

This was also Jiraiya's biggest discovery in that battle.

With over half of the power of the tailed beasts, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to maintain sanity without the cooperation of the tailed beasts.

And it is also natural to enter the half-tailed beast mode.

On the battlefield of the past.

Jiraiya is the top fighter of Konoha.

I have witnessed many scenes of other ninja villages' tailed beasts showing off their power. Even if the Nine-Tails is a little special, it still belongs to the sequence of tailed beasts, right?

There can't be anything special, right?

"If that's the case, Jiraiya, I must say that we must make a decision. If we allow the situation to continue to deteriorate, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Konoha. You should understand this!"

Tsunade took a deep breath and said to Jiraiya with a very determined look.

Different from the shamelessness of Konoha F4.

Jiraiya and Tsunade still have a little conscience.

Both of them were still very clear that in terms of the right and wrong of the matter, Menma was the right side. It was Konoha that was sorry for Menma and for Minato and Kushina, not Menma who was sorry for Konoha.

But again, this is not a simple question of right or wrong, but a question of choosing a stance.

If Menma was still staying in the Hidden Leaf Village.

If you are willing to fight for Konoha, the remaining problems can be solved.

Even if it's just to settle the accounts of the past.

It's not impossible.

The premise is that the stance cannot be distorted.

But it’s different now. Menma has defected and killed more than a dozen Konoha ninjas. This is a well-known fact, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

As the Kage of a village, Tsunade is determined to protect this village.

It is absolutely impossible to accept that one day in the future, the village will be destroyed by Menma.

Menma has already shown such a resolute attitude, there is no way Tsunade can continue to delay.

"this..."

Jiraiya was also at the moment of hearing Tsunade's words.

His expression changed involuntarily. He certainly knew very well what was the most correct approach. He still retained a glimmer of hope before, because Jiraiya had never seen such a resolute scene as Menma.

But after experiencing this collision.

Menma looked like he would kill him without any hesitation.

And what happened in the Valley of the End before forced Jiraiya to admit that Menma had become a deadly threat to Konoha.

If they still can't make up their minds, sooner or later, disaster will befall their Hidden Leaf Village.

This is definitely not a joke.

It's something that could actually happen.

"Jiraiya..."

Seeing that Jiraiya was still so hesitant, Tsunade couldn't help but continue.

But the words are not finished yet.

"I understand what you mean, Tsunade. Leave it to me. Don't worry, if everything really reaches an irreversible point, I will personally end this mistake!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and spoke with an unprecedented resolute tone.

"If you can't bear it, then let me handle it, Jiraiya. After all, he is Minato's son."

"No, it is precisely because he is Minato's child that I need to bear this responsibility. Don't worry, Tsunade, I am the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain!"

It also seemed that one could see the worry hidden behind Tsunade's beautiful eyes.

Jiraiya laughed and pretended to be nonchalant, speaking in a very heroic manner.

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya steadily, wanting to say something, but in the end she swallowed the words back.

Just as Jiraiya knew her very well.

Tsunade also knows Jiraiya very well.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Jiraiya!"

Tsunade looked directly at Jiraiya and spoke word for word.

"Well, don't worry. I will investigate Orochimaru and the Mist Ninja. I will tell you immediately if there is any situation. As for the Cloud Ninja, if they restrain themselves a little, the Fourth Raikage may not dare to start a war."

Jiraiya nodded and said, looking at Tsunade, speaking in a very serious tone.

"Yeah, I understand."

Tsunade also nodded slightly.

Chapter 257 A New Round of Situation

The outbreak of a war.

It would never be due to a single reason, including the collision between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village this time. While attracting the attention of most people outside, many people only saw the reason of the death of Darui and other Cloud Ninjas released by the Hidden Cloud Village.

In fact, this is certainly the direct cause, but it is not the only one, nor is it the fundamental cause.

Of course, only a small number of elite people can see through these things, and the other 99 percent of people are just watching for fun.

And the Konoha side.

The corresponding deployments made in response to the actions of the Hidden Cloud Village, and most importantly the tough response, made the Fourth Raikage furious. He was already accustomed to suppressing others.

How could he possibly accept Konoha's extremely strong counter-response! ?

Nothing said.

He directly ordered the Cloud Ninjas on the front line to create friction and conflicts.

On the one hand, rumors were spread widely, saying that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki who defected from the Hidden Mist Village had fallen into the hands of the Hidden Leaf Village, and even that the Hidden Leaf Village had already secretly captured the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back, and that Konoha, which had already restored its full strength, was about to re-expand its fangs on the entire ninja world.

To this end, he called on all the ninja villages in the entire ninja world to join in the crusade against Konoha. It's not that the Fourth Raikage was afraid of Konoha. If it were a one-on-one duel, the current Fourth Raikage really didn't think that his own ninja village would lose to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Even though Jiraiya and Tsunade were senior ninjas who reached adulthood many years earlier than him, the Fourth Raikage Ai was not afraid of them.

But his only worry was that if he really got into a fight with the Hidden Leaf Village and got involved in an all-out war, it would be easy for other ninja villages to take advantage of them.

Either other ninja villages will fight each other, or everyone will besiege Konohagakure Village together.

The Fourth Raikage would never do such a stupid thing as to make wedding dresses for others.

Post these messages.

The purpose is to stir up trouble and to arouse the fear and covetousness of Konoha among the major ninja villages again!

what?

No evidence?

No one believes it?

Don't be silly. This kind of thing is a pure conspiracy. Once it is released, everyone will believe it if Konoha cannot refute it.

The reason is very simple.

Who makes Konoha still so powerful, so rich, and so coveted! ?

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!

The major countries covet Konoha's prosperity and are even more afraid of Konoha's strength.

Konoha can either make the final decision and crush all the major countries with force, making all the ninja villages submit to it, or it can weaken and give up most of its interests to other ninja villages to feed their stomachs.

Only then will peace be possible.

But the greater possibility is that they will perish due to weakness.

Because the gap of human desire can never be filled.

A world where people understand each other?

ridiculous!

In the original novel, whether it was Hashirama Senju or the later Uzumaki Naruto, didn’t they first rely on their strength to gain everyone’s approval before they could start the so-called peace? ?

That is the falsest peace.

It is also the most unstable peace.

Because it all depends on the safety of one person.

Therefore, once Hashirama Senju died, the ninja world once again entered an era of war. Once Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke died, the arrival of a chaotic era was also entirely foreseeable.

Such collisions are bound to occur between people, especially between people of different forces!

obviously.

Konoha is now a thorn in everyone's side.

The corresponding news was almost released in the Hidden Cloud Village, and it took the lead in provoking local friction with the Hidden Leaf Village in the border area.

All the major ninja villages are beginning to get restless.

Including the Sand Village, which had just renewed its alliance with Konoha less than half a year ago, it also has the intention of looking east. It's not that the Sand Village has become bolder and has unreasonable ambitions again, but the vitality lost in the last war has not yet recovered.

There is some movement in the Sand Village, and Junjun is just trying to protect himself.

If Konoha really wants to further dominate the ninja world and puts it into action, that would be the time for the Sand Village to strongly oppose it.

Maintaining the current situation is in the best interests of the Sand Village.

As for the Iwagakure Village, Ōnoki's attitude seemed a little ambiguous, because although the old man did not mobilize too many troops to the border, spies from the Iwagakure Village frequently appeared in the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.

Its intention is also obvious.

The Hidden Mist Village had the biggest reaction.

You have to know that before that, the information reported to the village by the Mist Ninja pursuit team was that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki had been lost and was highly suspected to have been taken away by the Hidden Leaf Village, and then there was the battle between Menma and Jiraiya.

It seems to be the best supporting evidence for further progress.

Now, with the information that the Hidden Cloud Village is almost patting its chest with "boom boom" as secondary proof, the Hidden Mist Village will definitely point the finger directly at the Hidden Leaf Village.

At present, Mei Terumi has not yet ascended to power.

The de facto person in charge of the Kirigakure Village is the old man Yuanshi (in fact, even if Mei Terumi takes over later, as long as Yuanshi is still there, the old man with the highest prestige and power in the Kirigakure Village is still this old man, but he will not point fingers at Ying unless it is necessary, which is annoying.)

Although the Hidden Mist Village experienced a particularly bloody and dark period.

This has led to a significant weakening of the overall strength of the ninja village, and it and the Sand Village are a pair of brothers in distress. According to common sense, they should now enter the most stable stage of rest and recuperation.

But this does involve the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki of one's own ninja village.

The Master is steady, but not timid.

After careful consideration.

The Master also sent relevant personnel to the Hidden Leaf Village for questioning, and mobilized thousands of Mist Ninjas to advance to an island just across the Wave Country. Using there as a seesaw, the Mist Ninjas could easily invade the interior of the Fire Country.

This is no longer the initial war.

After the destruction of Whirlpool Country and Whirlpool Village.

The Hidden Leaf Village lost its most natural barrier.

The Mist Ninja can directly threaten the vital hinterland of the Hidden Leaf Village.
