Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Use such a barrier to guard some important strongholds.

A weak village like the Sand Village has set up a large-scale defensive barrier on its northern border, at the most important fortress to defend against the Rock Ninja.

Menma's current ability is certainly enough to set up a higher level of barrier, but the quality and quantity of the Taki ninjas in the barrier team below are still insufficient, so he can only set up corresponding barriers in the three most important areas.

Then let two or three hundred Taki ninjas spread out in this area. As long as it is not a really super elite team, if any troops from other ninja villages invade, they can get the most accurate information at the first time.

They can also rely on these barriers to effectively block the enemy, or at the very least, buy some time for the Taki ninjas on their side to retreat.

And it was when all this was done.

In the ninja world, the confrontation between the three kingdoms also reached its climax.

On the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Spring, the Konoha Ninjas and the Cloud Ninjas have already entered into a fierce battle.

Although the scale has not expanded.

It is limited to brawls involving a dozen or at most dozens of people, but the number of fights is too large. It has only been less than a week since the Fourth Raikage ordered the friction to begin.

Both Konoha and Kumogakure suffered nearly a hundred casualties, among which the number of those killed in action or seriously injured accounted for more than one-third.

This was during the period when the Ninja World War broke out.

This is already a very striking number of casualties.

Unlike before when they were just talking big, these two ninja villages actually started fighting with real guns and swords, which made the surrounding small countries tremble in fear. In particular, the Hidden Tang Village, which belongs to the Land of Hot Springs where half of the country had become a battlefield, had not had a single day of peace, even though the war seemed to always break out on the border.

But sometimes, Konoha's ninjas need to sneak in to gather information.

This is bound to lead to fighting in some inland areas of the Land of Yuno.

Even if not, the battle on the border will affect the entire country. The Tang Ninjas now have to face the problem of taking sides. Neutrality is not feasible, but no matter which side they choose to lean towards, it will not work either.

This is the tragedy of a small country.

However, Menma couldn't take care of these things for the time being. It should be said that the quarrel between Konoha and Cloud Ninja was what Menma would like to see most.

Because this can buy him more time.

At this point in July of the 61st year of Konoha.

Outside the east side of Takigakure Village.

Menma appeared here with a group of people.

In addition to Suigetsu and Karin, there are several young Taki-nin belonging to the barrier team. Each of them has the strength of a Chunin. Although they are not very strong, they are considered to be the most trusted group of Taki-nin in the village by Menma.

Because of the special nature of the plan, Menma must bring more people this time.

As for Yugao, he stayed in the village.

This is also to prevent Konoha and Kumogakure from reacting too quickly and launching a direct attack. With the cooperation of Yugao and Fu, the first wave of offensive can be more or less resisted. It is impossible for these two major ninja villages to not even launch a tentative attack and directly rush forward with all their main forces. The possibility of such a development is infinitely close to zero.

Therefore, having Yugao and Fu around is enough.

"If the plan goes well, it will take at most five days. Please send the troops according to this time. We don't need too many. Five hundred people will be enough!"

Before departure.

Menma confirmed some key details of the plan with Shibuki again and again.

The most important thing is to grasp the timing and deploy personnel.

Not too early, not too late.

This depends on their ability to convey information and whether there are any unexpected events!

After all, the Kusagakure Village is not made of clay, and it is difficult to say that everything is under control.

"Are five hundred people really enough? Even after the division, the number of people in Kusagakure who can fight far exceeds this number?"

Shibuki said, still a little worried.

I had previously thought that at least half of the troops, or a force of two thousand men, would be needed, but later it was confirmed.

The number Menma mentioned was only a quarter of this number.

Even when it’s time to set off.

Shibuki still felt that it was not very realistic and reliable.

At most, there are two to three thousand Grass Ninjas, or even more!

This number of Taki ninjas is totally insufficient, right?

"If my plan fails, it will be meaningless to send more people here, Shibuki-san. But if it goes well, these people will be enough to maintain stability!"

Menma said, shaking his head slightly.

There was no original plan to send these Taki ninjas to fight an offensive battle. If the losses were too great, Menma would not be able to accept such a situation.

The original plan.

It would be enough for him to lead a small force.

"Well, I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

Shibuki said with a very serious expression.

"Ah, just wait for my good news, Shibuki-san!"

Menma smiled and nodded.

"set off!"

Following from that.

The right arm swung suddenly, and the figure flew out first.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

In the back, Karin, Mizuki and others also leaped up and followed at high speed.

And it was at this time that Menma and his group left Takigakure Village again.

As we head towards the Grass Country.

On an archipelago far south of the Water Kingdom.

In the pristine jungle inside.

There is a very large flat-roofed house. This is a special base that was planned and built when Uchiha Madara was still alive.

It stores a large amount of strategic materials, as well as many forbidden research materials.

As Uchiha Madara's spokesperson, Obito would often come to this base, especially when he controlled the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta several years ago. This was Obito's base camp.

Obito is in this base at the moment.

"Still no trace of the Vulpix!? It has been out of contact for a whole week. Could it really have been captured by that guy Orochimaru? Absolutely!"

Looking at the Black Zetsu who appeared in front of him, Obito's only exposed pupil revealed a cold color.

From one tail to nine tails!

Of course, Obito has arranged corresponding personnel to supervise, in order to keep abreast of the specific whereabouts of these tailed beasts, so that when the plan is officially launched, these tailed beasts can be captured in the shortest time possible.

However, this supervision is only regular supervision, which does not mean following them all the time, because it is not very realistic, because most of the tailed beasts Jinchūriki will still stay in the village for a considerable period of time.

The only exception is Yugao, a defected Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.

Anyway, it’s because the timing in the plan hasn’t arrived yet.

It was based on this point that Obito did not really insist on keeping a close eye on the positions of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki at all times.

The news that Yu Gao was abducted.

A full day or two passed.

Obito just received it.

He also immediately ordered Black Zetsu to lead White Zetsu to conduct a carpet search.

As I said, we don’t have to pinpoint the exact locations of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki now, but we have to determine their approximate range of activities. This will make it easier for them to capture them when they officially start the plan at some point in the future!

"There is no accurate intelligence yet, but based on the information we received before, the probability of being taken away by Orochimaru is very high. After all, Uzumaki Menma, Kabuto Yakushi, and Uchiha Sasuke all appeared there!"

Hei Jue said sinisterly.

"Has this guy figured out something? Is he targeting Vulpix?"

Obito said with a frown.

For Obito, it doesn't matter who has temporarily captured the Vulpix. He just wants to confirm the specific location. It will make no difference where he captures the Vulpix when the time comes.

But Obito was very worried whether Orochimaru had researched something!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 266 Meeting and Target

The nine tailed beasts were separated from the ten tails.

This is a thousand-year-old secret known only to Obito in the current ninja world, excluding the special time traveler Menma.

As the spokesperson after Uchiha Madara's death.

It can be said that Madara knows a lot.

Obito knows just that much.

Unlike Nagato who was purely deceived and used, the relationship between Obito and Madara is quite complicated. Except for the case of Nohara Rin, where Madara deliberately tricked Obito and created Nohara Rin's death to make Obito fall completely into darkness, Obito was fully involved in the rest of the things.

Apart from this point, in other aspects, Madara did not hide anything from Obito. Madara really hoped that Obito could help him realize the Moon Eye Project, so naturally he needed to tell Obito all the information he had learned, although these things were just the result of Black Zetsu's deliberate guidance.

But at least the part involving the Ten-Tails was indeed true. Obito was not worried about the others, but he had to be cautious about Orochimaru. Even though the probability was very low, what if Orochimaru really figured out the relationship between the nine tailed beasts! ?

That would be a huge trouble.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Without any supporting information, how could that guy possibly go in that direction?"

When Black Zetsu heard Obito's words, he couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart.

Now the plan has reached the final preparation stage. As long as Akatsuki and Nagato have sorted out everything, they can launch the operation to capture the tailed beasts.

The more it comes to this critical juncture.

Black Zetsu doesn't want to see any accidents happen.

Just like when Obito lost his eye before, when it was almost certain that Menma didn't know the true value of that eye and would definitely waste it, Black Zetsu also recognized that Obito would not act rashly and expose himself and others.

If Orochimaru really figures out the connection between the nine tailed beasts.

That would be a big trouble for them.

"Hmph, that's hard to say. Orochimaru just likes to research all kinds of things, such as eternal life and supreme power. His goal has always been so firm and unchanging. The tailed beasts are the most special existences in the ninja world today, so why wouldn't he study them? And with this guy's research ability, if he really adds a few more tailed beasts as research materials, can you guarantee that there won't be any problems? "

Obito said with a snort.

From a general perspective, Orochimaru's personal strength is already very strong. Even though he seemed to be killed instantly by Itachi at the beginning, that was because Orochimaru was a little careless at the beginning and underestimated Itachi's strength. Secondly, it was also because of the side effects of the Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique, which made Orochimaru's mental power weaker than the normal Kage level, intensifying the damage of the illusion to him, not to mention the illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan level!

Being hit hard is only natural.

This can be seen from the fact that Orochimaru was severely injured by Itachi later, but was still able to retreat smoothly.

It couldn't be that Itachi was showing mercy and was unwilling to kill Orochimaru, right?

This guy is a crazy fellow who is willing to kill his clan members for the peace of Konoha. Orochimaru is also the biggest traitor in the Hidden Leaf Village. If there is a chance, Itachi will definitely kill Orochimaru!

In addition, from the confrontation between Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru, it can also be seen that Orochimaru's personal strength is indeed strong enough.

The overall level is considered a strong shadow, which is definitely not an exaggeration!

Such a guy.

It's easy to make people feel intimidated.

Not to mention that Orochimaru's strongest aspect lies in his scientific research ability.

The art of reincarnation without corpse.
