Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Wuqiu hardly cares about the attention of other people.

"What a big deal, Konoha. They already had 3,000 to 4,000 ninjas before, and this time they sent more reinforcements, more than 5,000 ninjas, and the famous Jiraiya is leading the team. They really intend to destroy our Takigakure Village in one battle."

Shibuki on the left also shook his head slightly and spoke with a very emotional tone.

There is definitely still a subconscious fear.

Even if we defeat the Hidden Cloud Village.

But after all, the inertial mentality generated over the past few decades is not so easy to eliminate, and if we must look into the details, the Hidden Leaf Village is still the dominant existence in the Ninja World.

There will definitely still be pressure.

Not to mention that this time, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village are also raiding the area.

However, as long as he looked at Menma sitting on the main seat, Shibuki would feel much more at ease. He believed in Grandpa Wu's choice and also believed in his own intuition.

More importantly, Menma has already proved himself through a battle.

He is the one who has the ability to lead Takigakure Village to glory.

"The advance of Konoha and the Mist Ninja is clear information, but as for the Sand Village, Menma-kun... Ahem... Sir, can you be sure that they really intend to invade the Kusagakure Village? If they are just gathering troops on the border, it can also be regarded as a form of self-protection, right?"

In the lower part of Shibuki.

Ah Jun also frowned, looked at Menma with a questioning look and asked softly.

It's still a little unnatural to change my words.

But this is the only way forward.

Who in Takigakure Village doesn't know that Menma has become the de facto leader of the ninja village? It's just a procedure and a ceremony.

"Well, we are still not 100% sure about this aspect, but because of this, we cannot let down our guard in Kusagakure Village and cannot transfer too many personnel over. The battle line there is still very important to us. Sand Village may not have the courage to take the initiative to attack, but if we transfer too many troops there, it will encourage their unnecessary ambitions. It is best to maintain the current situation."

Menma said, shaking his head slightly.

He has already called over the biggest fighting force of the Kusagakure Village, Mukuro, which could have been a large reinforcement. If he continued to draw Kusagakure ninjas, regardless of how much significance it would have, Menma felt that he would really give such an order.

Wuwei will definitely obey and cooperate, but the same may not be true for the Kusagakure ninjas below. The Kusagakure Village has to face the threat of the Sand ninjas at their doorstep. Even though the Sand ninjas have become much weaker, the natural pressure still exists. Not only can Menma not bring them stability, but instead increases their panic.

This is not something a smart leader would do.

Letting the Grass Ninjas confront the Sand Ninjas is the most appropriate option at this stage. Menma also believes that Wuwei can stabilize the situation.

There are no strong people in the Sand Village now. Maki is at most at the quasi-shadow level, and even a little bit lower. Wuwei is enough to deal with him.

Unless the Sand Village really wants to take a gamble and mobilize all its forces, there is really nothing that can be done.

But Menma didn't think Maki would have such courage.

I don't believe that Chiyo and Ebizo would allow Maki to take such a risk.

Konoha couldn't afford that kind of price.

This is the most reasonable judgment that Menma has made based on reality. As long as they have not yet decided the decisive victory here, the Sand Village can only launch a trial attack at most. A desperate decisive battle is almost impossible to happen.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 314: Silence of Preparation

If it really happens.

That could only happen.

It is impossible for Menma to send reinforcements from here to prepare in advance. Although it sounds a bit cruel to say this, as long as he can win here, even if the Kusagakure Village is completely defeated by the Sand Village and suffers heavy losses, it is an acceptable result.

In fact, such a development would be beneficial to Menma's further integration of the power of the two ninja villages in the future. As long as the outcome has not really been decided by him, the Kusanagi ninja would be crushed and defeated by the Sand Village, and then the Sand ninja would threaten them from the southwest.

War is a gamble in itself. No matter which side it is, it is almost impossible to have a 100% chance of winning.

When Ah Jun heard Menma's words, he nodded subconsciously.

"This time is different from the previous ones. Konoha is not adopting a single-point pressure decisive battle, but a comprehensive pressure in the form of encirclement. Therefore, we also need to stabilize the battle lines in all directions. The location is here!"

Menma stood up suddenly, and with a sudden pull, a huge map with different colored marks engraved on it landed directly behind him.

It represents the distribution of enemy and our own strongholds and military forces.

Menma raised a wooden stick and tapped a spot due east on the map.

"Peng!"

Accompanied by a dull sound of falling.

"We need to gather our forces here to build the core of the defense line and block the main forces of Konoha and Mist Ninja on the front line. I will be in charge of the command myself, and then we will set up further defense bases here and here in a V-shaped formation to support each other. Shemu-san and Asun-san, you will be in charge of leading and commanding the work. Wuque will follow me to the central base, and Yugao-san and Fu will be stationed in the middle area to support the two wings and the central battlefield at any time. Unlike the previous battle, this collision is likely to be a protracted war, and I hope you will all be in high spirits!"

Menma's extremely stern eyes scanned the people below one by one.

Then the words fell in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Shibuki, Ajun, Yugao, Wuque, Fu and others also stood up at the same time and responded loudly together.

"Then, gentlemen, let's begin our war!"

Menma said in a serious tone.

"Yes!"

Tasks are divided and commands are clearly communicated.

Various locations of Takigakure Village were mobilized one after another.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

One batch after another of Taki ninjas came.

They gathered again.

Under the leadership of Menma, Shibuki, Ajun and others, they set out at the right time and advanced towards the front line.

This is a war to defend one's own ninja village, and it is also blessed with the halo of victory in the previous war.

The morale of the Taki ninjas was also extremely high.

Even if the opponent is a coalition of thousands of troops from the two major ninja villages led by Konoha.

The Taki ninjas remained fearless.

They witnessed with their own eyes how Menma single-handedly defeated the Fourth Raikage and captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

This time the battle.

They will naturally firmly believe that Menma will lead them to victory.

The advancing Konoha and Kirigakure coalition forces led by Jiraiya, Mei Terumi and others faced head-on the Takinin troops led by Menma.

If we must look at it from a quantitative perspective.

The Takinin represented by Menma is at an absolute disadvantage.

Eight thousand VS three thousand.

And from the current perspective, whether it is the ninjas of Konoha or the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, they are still clearly superior to the Taki ninjas in terms of quality.

The gap to Genin may not be there yet.

But when it comes to the level of Chunin or even Jonin.

Takigakure Village cannot be compared with the two major ninja villages. The difference in value between them is not small.

If I really watch such a showdown.

Takigakure Village is doomed to fail.

But it is also based on this point.

Menma then called over Muque.

Wuque, who can transform into Wu to fight, can offset most of the numerical disadvantage. Yugao, Fu and others can more easily face the top combat forces in the two major ninja villages.

As for Jiraiya, that was left to Menma to deal with.

Jiraiya in Sage Mode.

Menma may not be defeated, but it is also impossible for Jiraiya to defeat Menma. The Flying Thunder God Technique is Menma's greatest confidence at the moment.

What we need to guard against is the super-powerful illusion of the Myoboku Mountain toad.

These are all preventable!

In the huge Konohagakure Village, the only person who really makes Menma feel he has no way to deal with, and he also feels that if he encounters this person with full firepower, there is a high probability that he will be killed by him. That person is the blue beast of Konoha - Might Guy!

Eight Gates Dunjia!

The first seven gates can certainly greatly enhance the chakra strength of the caster.

But the eighth gate of death is the real qualitative change!

Opening all seven doors means that Might Guy can step into the top shadow level, or even reach the threshold of super shadow at most.

But the eighth door!

It can allow Might Guy to briefly gain destructive power almost comparable to the Six Paths level. This technique is not something that has only appeared in recent years, but Might Guy is the only one who can bring it to such a terrifying level.

Once Might Guy appears on the battlefield this time.

There were even some who were planning to use all their strength to attack Menma.

Menma could only passively hope that the Flying Thunder God Technique could dodge Might Guy's attack, but when he thought of Madara's miserable state in the original work, Menma's confidence was not so strong, regardless of whether Madara was careless or not, and whether he had the intention to play tricks on Might Guy from the beginning.

But the outcome is still very real.

Might Guy, who has activated the Eight Gates Formation, has such terrifying destructive power.

This is also the only "singularity" that Menma cannot grasp.

"A fight on the battlefield? Let's see who will have the last laugh!"

On the road ahead.

Menma's pupils were filled with coldness.

And just when Menma's army was almost dispatched, in the southwest, in the border area between the Grass Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

There were also a large number of Sand Ninjas and Grass Ninjas gathered together to confront each other in the air.

All the Grass Ninjas were in a tense mood, ready for battle.

But the Sand Ninja side seemed to have no intention of attacking and were just constantly building infrastructure.

It is also because of the pressure from the Sand Ninjas.

Wuwei, the leader of the ninja village, also came to the front line in person.

As Wuwei continued to listen to the information he had obtained from the investigators, his eyes also fixed.

"It seems that it is similar to what Menma-sama guessed. The Sand Ninjas are unlikely to launch a full-scale attack first. At most, they will conduct some tentative invasions. However, the necessary precautions must still be taken."

Think of this.

Wuwei also let out a breath of foul air.

Then he issued the corresponding garrison orders in an orderly manner. During this period of time, he had to keep an eye on it personally and did not need to do too much. He only had to make sure that his own defense line was not breached by the Sand Ninjas. As for the rest, Wuwei had to do the same as his own son and choose to trust Menma unconditionally.

Menma's judgment was not wrong.

The choice of doing nothing is also correct.

The Sand Ninjas on the opposite side definitely had no intention of launching an all-out attack. From the time they gathered to the current construction of their stronghold facilities, their entire process had been one of simply exerting pressure. In fact, this was exactly the strategy of the Sand Village.

Konoha offered very generous benefits.

Including but not limited to further division and transfer of mission shares, allowing the Sand Village to infiltrate the southern coastal countries, and providing a large amount of money and materials to help the Sand Village overcome the financial crisis and further develop the local area.

These can be paid upfront.

He even allowed the Sand Village to support obtaining the Two-Tails Jinchuriki if the war plan went smoothly and they could defeat the Taki and Kusanagi alliance.
