Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

The consequences are unimaginable!

This was also the biggest reason why Ah Jun was so opposed. He really didn't want to take such a big risk. A 70% to 80% chance of success? Ah Jun didn't think the probability was that high. In his opinion, this was an overly optimistic estimate by the young man.

Of course, Ajun himself didn't notice that after Menma returned to his true identity, some subtle changes took place in his heart.

A 20-something adult and a 13-year-old boy.

As long as you are a normal person, your mentality will definitely be different.

Without considering additional factors.

Generally speaking, people are still willing to recognize and trust the former rather than the latter!

Age is not absolutely important, but sometimes it seems so important.

Menma himself was also keenly aware of this.

Especially when he saw that Shemudu became very shaken because of Ajun's words.

At the moment, he took a deep breath, shook his head with a stern look and said, "It may not be appropriate for me to say this, but, Jun-san, do we still have room to retreat? Indeed, in your opinion, this is a risky move. With the current strength of our ninja village, there is a high probability that we can withstand the strong attacks of Konoha and Kumogakure. With the additional assistance of Orochimaru-san and Onoki-san, there is no need to take too many risks. But those are external forces after all. Our strength still seems too illusory and not solid enough!"

"If we retreat here because of cowardice, we will not be able to predict how terrible the danger that will come next will be. The gambler's mentality is very dangerous and generally unacceptable. But we have no choice. We must take down the Kusagakure Village and gather and integrate the power of the two ninja villages. Only then will we, Takigakure, have a real foothold in this ninja world!"

Menma looked at Shibuki and Jun with sharp eyes.

Menma admitted that his actions and words definitely contained a layer of coercion.

To be even more precise, it should be the one when Menma joined Takigakure Village. This ninja village had already been forcibly bound to Menma.

Unless Shibuki made up his mind at the beginning to stab Menma in the back and tell all the information about Menma to Konoha, Kumogakure and other ninja villages, otherwise, when Menma began to integrate into Takigakure Village and especially brought benefits to Takigakure Village, it would start from the moment.

This village cannot escape the mark of Menma.

Either we move forward together, or we fall into the abyss together.

Shibuki actually had a clear understanding at the beginning.

Mizuno Satoru could see this even more.

But at the same time, they all chose to take that gamble, not only because they saw that possibility in Menma, but also because they had no choice under the circumstances at the time, as the threat from Shisha and Amegaki was imminent.

Once Menma is rejected, there is a 100% chance that Shibuki will not be able to survive, and the entire Takigakure Village will fall into Shisha's control.

As for the regret later?

Shibuki is not that kind of person, and he certainly doesn't have that kind of courage.

So, as Menma said.

They have no way out.

"Indeed, we have no way back. We can only keep moving forward!"

Shibuki took a deep breath.

When Ajun was about to say something, Shimu spoke first.

Do you want to blame Menma?

This is a stupid question.

Although Shibuki cannot be considered an outstanding leader, he is definitely not a stupid person. His character weaknesses such as hesitation and timidity were corrected by Shibuki himself during the hookah rebellion.

They are already deeply bound to Menma.

All we can do is run wildly on this single-plank bridge until we see the sunny avenue appear!

"Everything will be done according to your plan, Menma-kun. Jun-san, notify everyone and put the village into the first level of combat readiness. If necessary, let the troops invade the Kusagakure Village!"

Shibuki also had a very resolute expression and said in a deep voice.

"!?"

Ah Jun looked worried and opened his mouth to say something, but when Shibuki's determined eyes turned to him, Ah Jun finally sighed silently in his heart, nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, I understand."

Following from that.

Ajun also further confirmed some details with Mianma before leaving to make necessary preparations before mobilization.

The war between ninja villages is certainly not as complicated as the war in Menma's previous life, and there are many convenient means, but there is still a lot of preliminary preparation required.

Don’t be fooled by what Menma said about launching a war against Kusagakure Village in the near future.

But the fastest preparation time is more than half a month.

Moreover, before the war is actually declared.

Menma still needs to sneak in individually to cause internal chaos within the Kusagakure Village and greatly weaken the resistance of the Kusagakure Village.

It's a strong sense of déjà vu, right?

This is actually a replica of Menma's actions before he joined Takigakure Village.

The difference is.

This time the methods will appear to be more brutal!

All the high-ranking personnel in the hostile forces who are relatively stubborn must be cleared out one by one.

"Menma-kun, Jun-san is just being more cautious. He doesn't really want to question your choices and abilities."

After Ajun left, Shibuki seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at Menma and spoke slowly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 265 The Action Begins

Menma, who was originally happy that he could convince Shemu and Ajun, was subconsciously stunned when he suddenly heard Shemu's words.

Then he quickly waved his hands and said with a bitter smile: "No, no, it's too much for Shemu-san to say that. I can understand Jun-san. Logically speaking, I should be the one to say sorry."

Just because something isn’t said doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t understand it.

The most reasonable and correct approach is to know the truth and then not expose it.

Especially for Menma, Shibuki and Ajun now.

Trust and doubt.

It often happens in just a moment.

Only the parties involved know the sensitivity and subtlety of this relationship.

To put it bluntly, Menma's current actions are actually very short-sighted and can easily destroy the trust and goodwill he had worked so hard to build up in Takigakure Village with Shibuki, Jun, and Fu.

Menma actually didn't want to do that.

But reality forced him to do so.

The result of failure is nothing but death.

We are already mentally prepared to face the worst outcome, so it is understandable to take a little more risk.

In this kind of things.

Menma has no choice at all.

Taking a step forward is an adventure.

Taking a step back is also a risk.

Staying where you are is an adventure within an adventure.

Then the answer to choose is very obvious.

“It’s all for the village!”

As if to further demonstrate his determination, Menma added more emphasis to his words.

"Well, it's all for the village."

A hint of complexity seemed to flash across the depths of Shibuki's pupils, but in the end he still nodded heavily and replied.

"Well, I'll leave this plan to Menma-kun. As for the village, I'll also do my best to coordinate and fully support Menma-kun!"

After saying that.

He also stood up very solemnly and bowed to Menma.

"This is what I should do!"

Menma also stood up immediately and bowed in response.

"Well then! I'll go back and make other arrangements."

Shimu nodded slightly, then turned around and strode away.

Looking at the direction where Shibuki left.

Menma pursed his lips slightly. He knew very well that this plan must succeed and not fail. Even an obvious stalemate was not allowed.

Because once such a situation occurs.

The entire Takigakure Village will fall into a major crisis.

His own position in Takigakure Village will also become very awkward and delicate.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

The plan this time is either for Menma to show off his great victory in public in the ninja world and truly lead Takigakure to fight against his enemies, or for him to suffer a crushing defeat and flee from Takigakure again in a panic, or even be killed on the spot!

"So, it's still the same as before, nothing has changed."

Menma took a deep breath and clenched his hands slightly.

"It's okay, Menma, you can do it. I believe in you. This time you will be invincible just like before!"

Karin, who was sitting in the back, seemed to be able to sense Menma's excitement. She stepped forward, looked at Menma and spoke in a very affirmative tone.

"Well, thank you, Karin, don't worry, I won't lose confidence in myself. Yudaka-san, I'll have to trouble you next time. I clearly said that I want you to have a peaceful living environment."

Menma nodded, then turned to look at Yugao on the side and said with a slight apology.

"No, it's nothing. We have already agreed on this. As long as your goal doesn't change, just as you told me before, I will definitely follow you!"

Yugao shook his head slightly and said with a very serious expression.

"Please rest assured, Yugao-san, this is not only my promise, but also my belief. Unless I die, I will not stop, and I will not change my steps!"

Menma looked directly into Yugao's eyes and replied with an extremely firm tone.

"That's enough, Menma-kun!"

Yu Gao also rarely smiled and replied softly.

The resolution made.

A plan that needs to be unfolded.

The order of adjustment.

While Takigakure was taking action, Menma also passed his decision and some information to Orochimaru who was far away in the Land of Tea through special channels.

According to previous planning, we would need to wait for a while longer.

But now the plans have changed.

Menma needs Orochimaru's immediate protection, and now the outside world still thinks that he is still in Orochimaru's base.

This was news that even Obito had never heard of.

Because there is no way White Zetsu could get close to Menma's surroundings.

Kagura's mind's eye + Nine-Tails' malicious perception.

That's the bug.

An order to arrange it quickly.

Take advantage of this final preparation time.

Menma also brought Suigetsu, Karin, and some people from the barrier team to set up a certain number of small defense and perception barriers in the eastern frontier of Takigakure Village. To be honest, these barriers are not very effective, especially the former, which can be broken directly by a few A-level ninjutsu.

But for ordinary Taki ninjas, it is a precious bonus. At least it can prevent the Taki ninjas in these strongholds from being easily invaded.

This is most common in the Land of Fire, in the Hidden Leaf Village.
