Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

The probability is infinitely close to 0, but necessary precautions still need to be taken.

Along with the issuance of the order to continue tracking and investigating, the news of the retreat of the Sand Village army also spread.

At the same time, the news that Menma's commander-in-chief, the Taki ninja army, defeated the Mist ninja army and repelled the Konoha army also spread quickly among the Kusagakure ninjas on the front line under Wuwei's instruction.

All the Grass Ninjas were completely relaxed, with excitement on their faces, and deep in their hearts, they also deepened their awe of Menuma.

Chapter 339 Silence and Agitation

Although this was not a complete battle against the four major ninja villages, from the beginning and the result, the fact is that they, the Kusagakure Village and the Takigakure Village, under the leadership of Menma, withstood the military pressure of the four major ninja villages. Menma even personally defeated the large forces of the Kumogakure Village and the Mist Village, and further forcefully repelled the Konohagakure Village troops led by the famous Konoha hero Jiraiya.

Isn't such news shocking enough? Awe-inspiring enough?

The reputation of the five great ninja villages did not come out of thin air, but was forged with swords and guns, and with a lot of blood. The seemingly weakest Sand Village, when it just rose decades ago, also defeated many small ninja villages around it in succession to gain the status of one of the five great countries.

In the following decades, they were only defeated by the other four ninja villages that were also part of the five major countries. The remaining medium and small ninja villages could be easily controlled or even ravaged! ?

The formation of the five great nations and the title of the five Kage were achieved through such bloody battles.

No other country or ninja village is allowed to question it.

And that is today.

The pattern of the five major powers was officially broken.

From this moment on, the Taki and Kusa alliance led by Menma can be said to have truly stepped onto the highest stage of the ninja world. They are no longer just chess pieces, but can now participate in the control of the overall situation of the ninja world as a chess player.

Defeating one Hidden Cloud Village is not enough?

Then two more.

From today on, it can be declared that the ninja world has entered a six-pole structure, and the newly emerging sixth pole represented by Menma is still a very powerful one.

Maki's retreat here is just one manifestation.

Far away in the Water Country, Master Yuan, who received the news half a day later, remained silent for a long time.

Although he had been mentally prepared from the beginning, any war is accompanied by risks. Even if there seems to be a 70% to 80% chance of winning, isn't there still a 20% to 30% risk? It's just that the master didn't expect his own Mist Ninja Army to suffer such heavy losses.

The most important thing is that neither Mei Terumi nor Ao came back alive.

Maybe it’s not appropriate to say this.

But what really needs to be said is that the importance of Mei Terumi and Ao is far beyond that of ordinary Mist Ninjas. The latter is not only a trusted subordinate who has followed the Master for many years, but also possesses the only Byakugan that is known to the public. Her personal value cannot be measured by ordinary standards, and the former is the next generation leader of the Hidden Mist Village valued by the Master.

The Hidden Mist Village hasn't had a Mizukage for many years.

Mei Terumi seems to be the most suitable and possibly the only suitable candidate at the moment. The master had planned to directly push Mei Terumi to the position if everything went well this time. However, he did not expect that this trip would make everything come to nothing. More than three thousand Mist ninjas were killed in the battle, and about half of them died. This caused the Hidden Mist Village, which had not recovered much of its vitality, to suffer another heavy blow, which was completely adding insult to injury!

"Master Yuanshi..."

Quan Bingwei, who was sitting on the side, looked at the silent Master with a worried look on his face, and asked softly.

But the words haven't been spoken yet.

The master slowly waved his hand, and his old face slowly turned around, and his cloudy eyes opened: "Go, Gonbei, I have no problem. You take people to pick up Jiuwu and the others who are returning, and then pass on my order. From today on, no Mist Ninja needs to leave the border of the Water Country without a special order from the village. Remember, no one!"

"Yes, Master Yuanshi, I understand."

Quan Bingwei took a deep breath, lowered his head suddenly to answer, then his body shook and he left the place directly.

"Hey, why can't God bless our Kirigakure?"

After Gonbei left.

Master Yuan was also looking at the darkening sky, and his aged face looked even more aged and bitter at this moment.

Our own ninja village has really suffered a lot in the past ten years or so.

After finally seeing a glimmer of hope for recovery, it was completely cut off again. The Master could already feel the end of his life. He had said that with Mei Terumi, even if he died, the Hidden Mist Village would not be in chaos, and he could also report to his old friend, but what about now! ?

"Old man, please tell me what is the right thing to do."

Master Yuan sighed quietly in his heart.

Deep in his mind, the image of his best friend, the first Mizukage, Byakuren, emerged.

A forced act done out of desperation.

If you have the ability.

No one and no ninja village can tolerate being bullied by another country's ninja village, especially when many of their companions have died in the battle. Instead, they have to take the initiative to end the war, which is the most humiliating choice.

It can be said that when the Yuanshi's order was issued.

The entire Kirigakure Village was in an uproar.

The strong-willed Mist Ninjas could not accept such an outcome.

If the enemies were the other four major ninja villages, and they paid a corresponding price, it would be barely acceptable.

But the opponent is Takigakure Village.

Our own casualties far exceeded those of others.

How could the proud Mist Ninjas not feel angry and unwilling? ?

Some of the more radical, even violent Mist Ninjas came directly to the mansion where the Master lived and strongly demanded an all-out war. They wanted to teach the Takigakure Village a lesson. The glory of the Mist Village could not be allowed to be humiliated in this way.

But all these voices were suppressed by Master Yuan.

Ordinary Mist Ninjas can act on impulse based on their personalities.

But Master Yuan can’t do it.

The Master, who was carrying out the trust of his old friend, absolutely could not bear to see the Hidden Mist Village completely weakened or even destroyed in his hands.

All impulsive behavior should be prohibited.

The high-pressure attitude of the Yuanshi.

Only the Master could completely suppress the crazy emotions of the Mist Ninjas. Those Mist Ninjas clamoring to continue the war still reprimanded them in a very harsh attitude when they saw the Master come forward.

Any arrogance was completely suppressed at that moment.

No matter how dissatisfied or unwilling I am.

I can only keep it in my heart.

The Master's orders are everything.

The restless Mist Village also fell silent and returned to its previous closed mode.

But the unrest in the ninja world also completely broke out at this moment.

Strong pressure from the four major ninja villages.

They couldn't even crush a so-called "Takikusa Ninja Village Alliance"!? The stalemate of balance of power was already shocking, not to mention the current result of the three major ninja villages being defeated together!

Anyone who hears this news will start to doubt life.

Could it be that the five major ninja villages have always been paper tigers?

Otherwise, how could this be the result?

Ordinary people simply cannot accept it, and the unrest in the ninja world is further expanding.

When the Third Tsuchikage, who was far away in the Land of Earth and the Hidden Iwagakure Village, received this news, he was just like ordinary people and could not believe his eyes and ears.

Chapter 340: Shocking News and Snake Appearance

Ohnoki felt that he had overestimated Menma's strength as much as possible, and stood on Menma's side to make the most optimistic prediction of the outcome of the so-called "Takitsuna" alliance against the strong pressure of the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Kirigakure and Sand Village.

Even if the three major ninja villages did not go all out, based on the intelligence from previous investigations, the number of troops dispatched by the three major ninja villages had exceeded 10,000, not to mention the luxurious configuration of the team leader. Ohnoki felt that even if Menma tried his best, the best result would be to severely damage the attacking forces of the three major ninja villages, and then his own side would be almost completely wiped out. At most, Menma would lead a limited number of people to flee in embarrassment.

And this is also the development that Oonoki wants to see the most.

This would not only satisfy Ōnoki's intention to weaken several other major ninja villages at the same time, but would also give him a good opportunity to do a favor to Menma and then lure him to join their Iwagakure Village. Yes, this was Ōnoki's original plan.

risk?

There must be some.

But compared with the benefits, Ohnoki felt that this risk was not a problem at all. The Nine-Tailed Fox on Menma was enough for Ohnoki to do anything at all costs, not to mention that Menma himself was really good enough.

It's not an exaggeration to say that even if there was no Nine-Tails, Ohnoki would have been willing to take a gamble on Menma himself, because Menma really has such value. Although the Iwagakure Village seems to be in its heyday, as the Tsuchikage, Ohnoki is very clear that the village has reached a point of decline.

He has to think about the future of the village.

Selecting and training more outstanding young people is Ohnoki's top priority at the moment.

However, from now on, all my plans have been disrupted.

The victory of this war won by the forces led by Menma has become the biggest variable in the ninja world.

"Is this the result? I really misjudged you, Menma-kun. Your excellence far exceeds my expectations. What a pity... It's such a pity..."

Ohnoki clenched the scroll in his palms tightly with both hands, and a sharp look appeared in his slightly cloudy pupils.

The rise of the 'Taki and Kusa Alliance' represented by Menma is already an unstoppable trend. Ohnoki can naturally judge that almost all of his previous preparations have been wasted. Combined with the first impression left in that meeting, Ohnoki can safely judge that Menma is a young man with an extremely proud heart.

therefore.

"It seems that I have to give up my previous plan. It can only be that we are just lacking in fate, Menma-kun."

Ohnoki also quickly changed his mind and redefined his goals in his heart.

"maple!"

The words that fell were drunken.

"Lord Tsuchikage! What do you want?"

Suddenly.

In the shadow corner on the left side of the Tsuchikage's exclusive office, a thin figure wearing the standard uniform of the Iwagakure Village's Anbu appeared directly in Ohnoki's sight, knelt on one knee, saluted and greeted Ohnoki.

"Immediately pass my order to Huang Tu. He must capture the Yunyin Village Fengzhu stronghold within fifteen days. Let Han and Lao Zi go together. Remember, we must do it at all costs!"

Ōnoki looked at the ANBU man with a sharp gaze and spoke in a slightly grim tone.

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, I will obey your command."

The Anbu directly under the Tsuchikage, code-named Feng, suddenly lowered his head to respond, then leaped away from the spot and went to carry out Ōnoki's order.

"Hmph, the game has just begun. Menma-kun, let me see how capable and resourceful you are!"

Ohnoki's mind moved, and he floated up gently, came to the window, looked at the scenery of the village in the distance, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

The situation is out of control.

Ohnoki did have to adjust his plans accordingly, but the strategy he had set before could not be changed.

The strong pressure from the Hidden Cloud Village must be accompanied by corresponding results.

I have waited so long for such an opportunity.

Ohnoki wouldn't miss it.

Use the interests of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning to strengthen the strength of his own ninja village and further eliminate the threats from the east.

From now on, our own ninja village can focus more on dealing with the problems in Menma and Konoha.

Ōnoki has a premonition that from today on, the alliance between Taki and Kusagakure villages led by Menma will become the biggest enemy of his own Iwagakure Village.

Different judgments made by ninja villages in different countries.

The ninja world continues to be in turmoil.

The war in the north is still burning.

Ōnoki can continue with the strategy of his own ninja village and force the Hidden Cloud Village, but the Hidden Leaf Village is caught in an extremely embarrassing situation where it can neither advance nor retreat.

Jiraiya couldn't make a reasonable judgment.

The only thing we can do is throw the problem back to Tsunade.

But facing such a problem, Tsunade was also very troubled. Who could have known that before the battle, everything seemed to be going so smoothly, and the probability of defeating the enemy was infinitely high, but now there would be such a result! ?

It can be said that the moment the news from the front line was received.
