Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Karin's expression also became very serious, and she looked straight at Menma and said.

"Well, this aspect of the problem does need to be considered, but that eye must be obtained, Xianglin, the enemies we need to face are not just the enemies in front of us, but also the more terrifying ones in the future. I must obtain stronger power. Risk? What can I do without taking risks? These things often go hand in hand. Of course, you can rest assured that I will not act recklessly and will make full preparations. Moreover, now is not the time to go there directly. At least we have to wait until the experiment at this stage is completely successful and my physical strength is raised to the most extreme level before I go to the moon."

Menma patted Karin's little hand gently and said this in a gentle yet firm tone.

Hear Menma's words.

The expression on Xianglin's face also changed slightly.

He wanted to say something more, but swallowed it back.

"Well, I will definitely try my best to help you, Menma!"

He nodded heavily with a look of determination.

"Haha, there's no need to make it so serious. Don't worry, I have everything under control!"

Menma said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Even though I knew Menma was trying to comfort himself.

But Xianglin still cooperated well, showing a look of relaxation, and nodded slightly in reply.

"Well, I'll go make other preparations, Menma."

"Ah, you go ahead."

After the two of them talked for a few more words about the remaining work arrangements, Karin took the agreement that Menma had already signed and left.

All that's left to do next is wait for this agreement to be transmitted back to Konoha, and for Tsunade to sign and seal it as the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure Village, and then it can be announced directly to the public and officially take effect. This agreement does not explicitly state the alliance between the two parties, and in essence it is not much different from the verbal agreement that Menma had previously agreed upon with the Third Tsuchikage.

It is just a soft binding clause for the sake of face.

However, to the outside world, it will still be somewhat misleading and deterrent. The ninja villages in other countries will obviously fall into unfathomable speculation and chaos because of this agreement, especially the other major ninja villages.

This was exactly the result Menma wanted.

If you can't guess, you won't dare to act rashly, and you can buy yourself the necessary time to strengthen your body and plan to land on the moon. As long as these steps can be successfully implemented one after another, Menma will really not have to fear anyone.

Even those enemies from the starry sky.

Menma has the confidence and self-confidence to deal with it.

And it was with Menma's signature that he put his pen to paper.

The time that the Konoha delegation stays in the Hikari Village is entering the final countdown, waiting until this last moment.

Menma also refused to allow Naruto to go and meet the members of the delegation.

This is a matter of principle for Menma. Tolerating Naruto is already Menma's limit. Menma will not do anything unnecessary.

And it was on the last night before the delegation was about to leave.

The hotel where the Konoha delegation is staying.

Under the cover of shadow.

Two figures quietly gathered together.

Under the faint moonlight, the slightly thin figure on the left and the familiar face were none other than the only perception-type Jonin in the delegation, the ninja named Axing who was trusted by Tsunade and was sent here.

The man on the opposite side was extremely tall and sturdy, with orange-yellow side-parted hair tied in a high short ponytail. He also had rather special golden pupils and a square jaw.

This man is one of Danzo's most trusted subordinates in the Root, and like Haiyi, he is from the Yamanaka clan - Yamanaka Kaze.

A super-sensory jonin who has mastered all the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan!!

Take a day off

As the title says, I have something to do today and need to take a day off. I hope you will forgive me. I wish you all a happy holiday! Happy family reunion!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 388: Stealth in the Shadows

At this moment, here, the intention of the two people's private meeting is self-evident.

This is a Konoha Jonin named Axing.

It is obvious that he is also one of Danzo's subordinates, or at least someone who has been bribed by Danzo.

"Can we get accurate information?"

Shan Zhongfeng looked at Ah Xing and asked with a very cold expression.

Ah Xing also looked like he had gotten used to it. He was no longer as gentle as he usually was when interacting with Shikaku and the others. Instead, he had a cold expression that was almost the same as Shan Zhongfeng. He nodded slightly and replied, "Although there is not much valuable information, we can roughly determine a range during this period of time. But this is probably just a trick by the other side to lure them out. Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why the Hikari Village, that Uzumaki Menma, would allow those little guys in the delegation to walk around. If we act rashly, it will easily attract the attention of the other side."

"It's okay. Lord Danzo's order is to find out as much as possible whether Namikaze Naruto is alive or dead, as well as his exact location. Even if we fail, it will not affect Lord Danzo's plan."

Shan Zhongfeng still had that indifferent look on his face. It was obvious that such a mission was directly linked to his own life, but Shan Zhongfeng, who had already dedicated everything to Danzo, didn't care at all.

Danzo's intentions were already very clear.

If the news that Naruto is still alive can be confirmed.

Danzo felt that he now had a weakness that would allow him to easily exploit Menma from now on, and even if he failed, it was Danzo's intention to ignite the relationship between the two villages.

Want to make peace with the Hidden Light Village?

There are no doors!

Danzo Shimura would never allow such a thing to happen.

As the ultimate fighter, Danzo Shimura not only has the ambition to completely dominate the ninja world, but he also feels that Konoha's strength can overwhelm the entire ninja world.

No matter what the reason is, Danzo really has this kind of mysterious confidence.

It's like the reason why Konoha had such a hard time in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars was because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's poor leadership (although there was indeed a little reason behind it.)

As long as Danzo Shimura came to power, he could lead Konoha to sweep across the entire ninja world in a minute.

The best proof is that the plan to collapse Konoha and Pain's attack remained in place.

Danzo really believed that his ascension to the throne would definitely bring revival to Konoha.

Inside the Root, even though it seems like everyone is cursed, there are indeed a group of people who will obey Danzo 100% even without the curse. They truly regard Danzo as the light of hope for the Hidden Leaf Village.

The famous mountain wind in front of us is such a thing.

When Ah Xing heard what Shan Zhongfeng said, his brows jumped. After all, he was a special jonin in the Hidden Leaf Village. A ninja who could be promoted to this level could be regarded as a little genius in the ninja world.

Chunin and Genin are the largest in number.

Ah Xing wanted to say something, but considering the character of his master Danzo, he endured it.

"It's best if you have the information yourself. I'll keep an eye on Lu Jiu and the others. Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Ah Xing took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Shan Zhongfeng opposite him, while speaking very seriously.

"Oh, don't worry, everything will go smoothly."

Shan Zhongfeng took the scroll, opened it, and took in all the information inside into his mind, then nodded.

"Whoosh!"

Then he leaped forward.

Just leave.

Ah Xing was also watching Shan Zhongfeng leave.

His figure blended into the shadows and returned the same way.

He also had to hide the traces of Shan Zhongfeng's departure.

The original reliance, after becoming an opponent in the shadow, can easily bring great damage. This is why, in the absence of an obvious gap, internal problems are always more terrifying and direct than external threats.

Because you have no way of knowing for sure who will be the knife and when it will stab you in the back.

The more critical the moment.

Such a backstab will cause greater damage.

Not to mention that he is the only perception-type ninja in a team like Axing. Once he "betrays", the threat he brings will be even more unpredictable.

Under normal circumstances.

Everyone will be calculated by it.

Even a man of extraordinary wisdom like Shikaku was no exception. Who could have known that one of Tsunade's most trusted subordinates, selected by her personally, would actually be a hidden man under Danzo?

All we can say is that Tsunade has been in power for too short a time.

It was only two years, and most importantly, he had been away from the Hidden Leaf Village for more than ten years. He did not have a stable base, but he suddenly came to power. It was indeed easy for such problems to arise. If Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, most of Danzo's actions would not have been hidden from Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

The Third Hokage held the highest power in the Hidden Leaf Village for more than forty years.

Tsunade has to be compared to her own Hokage teacher.

From the perspective of control, the gap is not even a little bit. In the original work, Danzo directly gave the list of Anbu directly under the Hokage to Orochimaru, and Tsunade only learned about it later. This is enough to show that Tsunade's control over the entire ninja village is really not enough.

Ah Xing is in the delegation this time.

It's just a microcosm.

In the Hikari Village shrouded in darkness, more than 90% of the people were in a deep sleep at that moment.

"whoosh"

In the narrow path at the edge of the village.

Shan Zhongfeng's figure was moving quickly inside.

The vast perception that permeates everywhere and at all times.

And that keen insight.

Based on the intelligence collected previously, Shan Zhongfeng avoided more than 90% of the night patrol personnel.

Even a small number of people are blocking the way.

With Shan Zhongfeng's ability, he can also easily avoid the patrols of these guarding light ninjas.

They are the elite among the roots.

He is one of Danzo's most trusted subordinates.

In terms of personal strength, he is definitely at the level of a jonin. Even though it has now been renamed the Hikari Village, its foundation is still the same as before. Compared with Yamanaka Fuu, the gap is naturally very obvious.

It was easy to travel through half of the ninja village.

In the northeast corner of the ninja village we arrived at.

"Is it in this area? It seems we still need to search slowly."

The mountain wind exhaled lightly.

There was a hint of coldness in that pair of golden pupils.

"Snapped!"

With a clap of hands.

That huge perception that spreads as far as possible.

Just like plowing the land, scanning it inch by inch.

Try to obtain a certain amount of intelligence as much as possible.

Taking risky actions for inaccurate information may even cost one's life. This is a way of thinking and behavior that ordinary people cannot understand, but for ninjas, it is commonplace, not to mention the existence of the Root.

Among the people under Danzo's command.

There is no option to reject the task.

Either complete the mission or die in the process.

This is the fate of those at the root.

And that was when Shan Zhongfeng spread out his perception as much as possible, searching bit by bit for any chakra aura that might be related to Naruto.
