Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

A rare faint smile appeared on Wuwei's face, which was as cold as an iceberg.

"Yes, it has been a long time since we last met, Master Wuwei. I wonder if you have any urgent business to come back this time? Is everything okay in Ghost Lantern City?"

On the left, a middle-aged man with black hair and green eyes named Arakawa took a deep breath and stepped forward thousands of steps to block Wuwei's way forward. He asked with a respectful but serious expression.

Our ninja village has been peaceful for more than ten years.

The political power in the village is very stable.

As a senior ninja in the village, even though Arakawa was one of the people who supported Wuwei's ascension to the throne more than ten years ago, he is now old and does not want chaos in the village. In Arakawa's opinion, Wuwei's return is a very dangerous act.

He had to figure out what Wuwei's intention was.

While speaking, he used very obscure gestures to give instructions to the other Grass Ninjas behind him, asking them to immediately pass the information back to the leader's building.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same. Don't worry, there won't be any problems in Gui Lantern City. I've arranged everything. You don't have to do anything more with Shigeta-san. I'll be back today, which proves that everything is different. Arakawa, don't do anything unnecessary. Shigeta is not in the village now, and the same goes for Sanzhi, Lei Shi and others. They should never come back."

Wuwei returned to his indifferent attitude, looking at Arakawa in front of him with cold eyes. The words he said made Arakawa and Amu beside him feel cold all over, and their pupils shrank subconsciously.

"What did you say!?"

The expression of disbelief that was clearly revealed.

"Do you think I'm lying to you? If not for this, why do you think I chose to come back at this time? Arakawa-kun, it's about time."

Wuwei said this calmly.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Inside the village.

Suddenly, more than ten figures flashed over.

"Lord Wuwei!"

"Welcome back, Master Wuwei!"

"Greetings to Lord Wuwei!"

The aura that each of them exudes is either that of a jonin or one that is infinitely close to that level.

Arakawa could also recognize at a glance that these people were all his companions who were in charge of important positions in his own ninja village.

Some people are indeed like him before, preferring inaction.

But the vast majority of them are either slightly inclined towards the leader Shigeta, or are pure "power cliques" who will follow whoever is in power in the ninja village.

Judging from the current situation.

Our Lord Shigeta is definitely no longer in the Shinobi Village.

If so.

It is impossible for these people to make such a choice.

He is the legitimate leader of the ninja village.

"See? Arakawa-kun, this is the truth, and what choice do you want to make?"

Wuwei still had that indifferent look on his face as he looked at Arakawa calmly, feeling the huge mental pressure exerted upon him beneath his calmness.

This only took less than a few seconds.

Arakawa knelt on one knee with a wry smile on his face, and said tactfully: "Welcome back, Master Wuwei."

Amu, who was standing by, also knelt on one knee and saluted at the same moment as Arakawa saluted.

Even the other young Grass Ninjas who didn't understand the situation, when they saw the two captains choose to salute the man in front of them who looked like he was not a good person, they also knelt on one knee to salute.

This is not convincing.

But it is submission to the situation.

But for inaction.

This is enough.

Sometimes, this is how the trend comes about.

As long as he can nominally and openly control the ninja village, it will be meaningless even if Shigeta can really come back alive.

"Well, very good, then, let's go into the village."

Wuwei nodded slightly.

Soon afterwards.

It was when he was surrounded by a group of people and under the curious gazes of many ordinary people in the houses on both sides of the Ninja Village Avenue.

Wuwei strode towards the leader's building that he almost took over more than ten years ago.

Time is of the essence.

There are many things to do.

Wuwei dare not delay at all.

Even though Menma is still not so confident about Wuwei and Muku, the fact is that the father and son have completely agreed with Menma and are willing to work for Menma's cause. Even though the father and son are not very clear about all of Menma's plans and situations at present, at least they absolutely understand that the power of Kusagakure Village is a very important piece of the puzzle for Menma.

Of course, the two of them hope that the transition of power can be as smooth as possible without further damaging the vitality of the village.

Wuwei returns with strength.

In the absence of Masashi Shigeta.

There are really few people in Kusagakure Village who can resist Wuwei.

If it were a few years earlier, there would still be several elders with great prestige and experience in Kusagakure Village who could check and balance Wuwei.

But now, under a series of operations by Wuwei.

Almost all power, big or small, in the Kusagakure Village fell into his control. Some stubborn elements attempted to resist, but were ruthlessly suppressed by Wuwei.

Kill those who deserve to be killed.

The level that needs to be closed.

In this regard, Wuwei showed no mercy at all.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 279 Gathering

It is necessary to use the most powerful means and a tough attitude to ensure a smooth transition of power in Kusagakure Village to his own hands. Wuwei has a very clear understanding of this. He has never been a soft-hearted person, and he had resorted to all means to open the Box of Paradise. All his tenderness was reserved for his deceased wife and his son Wuque, who had just been 'resurrected'.

It is also based on this point that Wuwei is willing to be loyal to Menma.

He still hopes that his son can be truly resurrected and regain his human form. Does that really require the help of Menma and others?

Unless you can come up with the corresponding chips.

Otherwise, your determination to do nothing will not be shaken at all.

Faced with Wu Wei's tyrannical behavior, those people in high positions in Kusagakure Village, except for those who followed him from the beginning and those who resisted and were killed or imprisoned, nearly half of the remaining people chose to acquiesce.

It’s not that these people really agree with inaction.

Instead, they chose to obey temporarily after seeing the situation clearly. They wanted to see what Wuwei would do next, and more importantly, whether Masashi Shigeta, their legitimate leader, could come back alive.

The former is related to whether one's own interests will be damaged, and the latter is the most important issue of stance. If Shigeta Masashi can really come back alive, then everything will be completely different. Shigeta Masashi has held the highest power in Kusagakure Village for nearly 20 years and still has a high prestige in the village. Once Shigeta Masashi comes back, it is hard to say what the situation will be like.

This is exactly what these people are thinking.

Doing nothing is also like seeing through fire. This is a very normal situation if everyone is willing to obey your orders 100%.

That is the strangest and most alarming thing.

It is precisely because of such complex human hearts that humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world. While Wuwei further dispatched his confidants to take control of the security forces of the entire ninja village, he also immediately sent someone to contact Menma.

He had to report the situation here to Menma in detail, and then ask about the specific fate of Masashi Shigeta, so that it would be convenient to arrange the next plan.

It was almost at the time when the integration in Wuwei was completed and the personnel were sent to leave the village and head north.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Outside the Kusagakure Village.

Menma had already brought Karin, Mizuki and others to the main gate of the ninja village, and the time they arrived was only a few hours later than Wuwei.

The deviation in this part of time is the time when Menma set up the pocket formation, encircled Shigeta Masashi, and finally worked on Zeno.

"Menma-sama!"

A figure striding forward.

The Grass Ninja guarding the main gate had long been replaced by Wuwei's most trusted subordinates, and these people naturally recognized Menma's appearance.

It was the moment Menma saw these people that he chose to enter through the main gate.

Because this means that Wuwei has already successfully taken control of Kusagakure Village according to the established plan.

These Grass Ninjas also hurriedly came forward to greet them, bowing and greeting Menma. Of course, they were still unclear about the true relationship between Menma and their Lord Wuwei, and simply thought that Menma was a powerful foreign aid invited by their Lord Wuwei.

But even so.

Just from the perspective of strength.

Menma is definitely worthy of respect from people like them.

He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

It is not something that ordinary ninjas like them can compare to.

"Well, is Wuwei-san already in the village?"

Menma paused for a moment and asked softly with a faint smile.

"Yes, Master Menma, I have already sent someone to report your arrival to Master Wuwei. Please enter this way."

The purple-haired man in the lead spoke with a respectful look on his face while leaning sideways in an inviting gesture.

"Ah."

Menma nodded slightly.

Then, under the leadership of this man, they headed towards the leader's building.

Along the way, we saw that the main street of Kusagakure Village was deserted, and the surrounding houses and shops were all closed.

Menma's brows frowned slightly.

But he immediately loosened his grip.

This is also a normal phenomenon.

The village has seen a major upheaval of regime change. How could ordinary people dare to go out for fear of being involved in a battle? Internal strife in the ninja village is almost a common occurrence.

Even though Kusagakure Village seems to have been peaceful for more than ten years.

But in the past, there have been several fights within the ninja village, and some older people have experienced them personally.

We need to observe for at least a day or two. If nothing really happens and the top leaders issue a similar "notice to reassure the public", life will return to normal.

And that is, on the road before approaching the leader's building.

Wuwei had already appeared in front of Menma with Wuque.

Not caring about the somewhat surprised looks from the other Kusa-nin, the father and son both bowed to Menma and said, "Master Menma."

This is not a hypocritical attitude at all.

Especially the word 'sama' that is called directly!

Not to mention the shocked expressions on the faces of those Grass Ninjas.

Menma himself narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
