The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

Although it seems like they are all relying on others at the moment.

But Shibuki and Orochimaru are completely different, and the forces under Takigakure and Orochimaru are also completely different. To put it bluntly, if Menma really wants to win over the ninjas of Takigakure in the future, he can still do it. Yes, be more ruthless, if the operation is more in place and the methods can be more appropriate, it doesn't mean that it is completely impossible to do overhead wood-related activities.

But with Orochimaru, this is a fantasy.

The people under this Uncle Snake's command are almost all loyal to Uncle Snake. Menma wants to win over these people, maybe Orochimaru will learn about it as soon as he takes action.

Therefore, Menma never had the idea of ​​seizing Orochimaru's strength. He always regarded Orochimaru as a springboard and an ally that could benefit from both.

"This is no problem at all. Do you still need help in other aspects? For example, personnel assistance?"

Shenmu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Haha, this is not needed for the time being. Oh, we may also need Shemu-san to provide a larger venue, some necessary research equipment, and some basic supplies, if possible."

"This is no problem at all. You can make a list later, and I will ask Ajunsang and the others to prepare it. As for the venue, there is a currently abandoned training venue in the north of the village. I will directly divide it when the time comes. Leave it to you to use, Menma-kun!"

For Shibuki, these are just small requests, just as Mizuno Satoru said.

Menma's arrival is a gamble for their Takigakure village, and the risk they need to take is naturally Menma's identity.

Whether it is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the rebellious ninja of Konoha Hidden Village, or the identity of the Fourth Hokage, it is easy to attract the attention of the entire ninja world. Once the fact that Menma joins Takigakure Village is exposed If they go out and their ninja village has not gained the power to defeat the entire ninja world, it will be a disaster.

As for now.

Among the five great ninja villages, even the weakest Sunagakure Village is not comparable to Takigakure Village. The number of ninjas is not at the same level.

If Sunagakure Village were to launch a desperate attack, or even ignore the defense of other borders, it would still be able to bring out tens of thousands of ninja legions, which was beyond the reach of Takigakure Village.

Needless to say, Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure.

Shenmu can see the risks here very thoroughly and clearly.

But the same thing is true.

Menma's joining also brings great benefits.

Although the Kyuubi has never fought in the ninja world in the past, judging from the performance of other tailed beasts, especially the eight-tailed jinchuriki of Kumogakure Village, there are no Uchiha Madara or Senju in the ninja world today. In Hashirama's case, Kyuubi must be the strongest being.

Not to mention Menma's own talents and gifts.

In the past, the Amegakure Village could barely stand on an equal footing with the five major ninja villages with the help of Hanzo Sanshouyu. At least it would not be easily threatened and had greater autonomy. But now, if Menma can really grow into a perfect Jinchuuriki.

Together with Fu from their own ninja village, their Takigakure village really has a chance to become the sixth largest ninja village. In the world of ninjas, it is really possible for one person's strength to bring qualitative changes to the ninja village, provided that Powerful enough.

Not to mention, no matter how you look at Menma here, he doesn't appear to be alone. He seems to have a small force of his own under his command. From Ajun's brief report just now, there is also a meeting at the main entrance.

Even Shibaki can tell the strengths of Tayuya, Suigetsu and others.

Shibuki didn't know that these people were not Menma's subordinates, but Orochimaru's.

"Then thank you Shiki-san."

Menma also bowed slightly in greeting and said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, go and talk to Ajun Sang, Xianglin."

Menma turned to look at Xiang Rin and said.

"Well, don't worry, Menma, I know."

Xianglin also nodded heavily and replied.

Still, as the only being that Menma can trust infinitely, Xiang Rin is the one who knows Menma's plan best.

Takigakure Village.

This is the real ending point and starting point for both of them.

Although the current Xianglin is far from being able to stand alone, at least he is much more mature and stable than at the beginning.

Menma can now safely leave many things to Xiang Rin to handle.

"Then, let's be rude first, Shibuki-san!"

Later, after confirming with Shimu on other issues.

Menma stood up and said goodbye.

"Um!"

Under Shimu's nod in return.

Menma left this political hall with Xiang Rin.

Over the next few days.

Menma was not in a hurry to leave. After all, he was already a member of Takigakure Village. Menma would definitely attend Elder Mizuno Satoru's funeral, but for now he still had to act under the disguised identity of 'Accelerator'. .

The Taki ninjas in the Ninja Village who attended this funeral met Menma, a powerful new member of the village, for the 'first time'.

The battle a few days ago was witnessed by these Takigakure ninjas. For now, excluding Fu, Menma, a 'half-way monk', can already be regarded as the current leader of Takigakure Village. The strongest existence.

These Taki ninjas naturally have different attitudes towards Menma's joining, and some even speculate on Menma's arrival with the greatest malice.

But no matter what.

These people did not show it on the surface, and each of them wore a mask to welcome Menma's arrival.

Menma himself knew it well.

He was not surprised or anxious at all. Integration is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it needs to be done step by step!

Wait until the end of Mizuno Satoru's funeral.

The entire Takigakure Village also seems to have returned to its former calm and harmony, at least on the surface, and everyone is back to their duties.

Under Shibuki's arrangement.

Menma and Karin also got their own houses, as well as an exclusive venue, and a laboratory with complete research equipment. After all, it is still a ninja village with a lot of background.

They could get the Seven-Tails from the first generation of Hokage.

One is because Takigakure Village has enough power, and the other is naturally because Takigakure Village has enough financial resources.

Of course, the two complement each other.

Otherwise, the Seven-Tails would not necessarily fall into the hands of the Takigakure Village if it was assigned to the Sand Village. Of course, this is also because the Sand Village is still too poor and cannot eat two tailed beasts, which gave the Takigakure Village an opportunity.

But from this point, it can also be seen that the Takigakure Village is also a wealthy existence in the ninja world.

Even if it is weakened to this extent now.

Providing some necessary supplies and equipment to Menma is still a piece of cake.

It is also after all this is settled.

Menma is planning to set off to return to the Tea Country, but he has a more important negotiation with the snake uncle.

"Karin, the construction of the laboratory will be handed over to you first. Just like before, the current focus is still on cell activation and physical strengthening experiments. Don't worry about resources and materials. Even if they are a little special, I will get more from Orochimaru-san. You should prepare first. When I come back, we can proceed to the next test."

Takigakure Village, at the main entrance.

Menma looked at Karin who was already wearing the Takinin forehead protector and said softly.

"Well, don't worry, Menma, I will definitely be ready."

Karin also nodded, and said with a serious expression.

"I trust you to do it, then!"

Menma smiled and nodded.

"Let's go!"

Immediately afterwards, the chakra under his feet exploded.

He quickly moved towards the southern part of the village.

Suigetsu, Tayuya and others followed closely and left together.

Karin also stepped back into the village after she could no longer see Menma's back.

Unlike the timidity and weakness at the beginning.

Now Karin has already made great strides towards the road of being able to stand on her own.

The next step is to truly open up her own path.

Karin knows too well how important the things she is responsible for are to Menma!

All the way south, Menma and his group returned directly by the same route.

The time consumed was a few minutes faster than the beginning.

By the time Menma returned to Orochimaru's exclusive base in the southern area of ​​the Tea Country.

Orochimaru, who was far away in the southern border, had received the corresponding news a few days ago. After all, among the group of people who followed Menma, except for Suigetsu, who was not convinced, the rest were all Orochimaru's diehards.

Menma's actions in Takigakure Village and the final results.

Orochimaru could naturally learn about it in the shortest time.

Menma did not and could not stop these people from reporting. He still needed Orochimaru's strong assistance in the future. If possible, Menma was willing, and it should be said that he hoped that this alliance could continue. There were not many ally as reliable as Orochimaru in the ninja world.

Of course, the premise is that you can meet Orochimaru's standards.

Otherwise.

It is a high-risk thing to seek the skin of a "snake".

"Hehe, although I know Menma-kun's ability very well, I didn't expect that he could handle it so neatly. It seems that Takigakure Village will soon fall into Menma-kun's control."

It was still the familiar dim room.

It was still the familiar pale face and hoarse voice.

On the main seat, Orochimaru looked at Menma with an inexplicable look and said with a low smile.

"Orochimaru-san really overestimated me. That is one of the best under the five major ninja villages. Control? It's not easy at all. It's just a small step."

Menma replied calmly.

"But this step is the most critical step. I believe in Menma-kun's ability."

Orochimaru seemed to be 100% sure that Menma would successfully control Takigakure Village. The smile he showed seemed to have a very deep and special meaning hidden in it.

"Then I will borrow Orochimaru-san's words first."

Menma replied calmly.

"So, Menma-kun is coming back this time to say goodbye?"

It was clearly a question.

Orochimaru said it in a firm tone.

"Well, it's time to bother Orochimaru-san for so long. If I continue to stay, I'm afraid of disturbing Orochimaru-san. Of course, this is just a physical departure. I believe that the relationship between us is still the same. It will not change. As long as Orochimaru-san has a need and it is within my capabilities, I will not shirk it, whether it is research, Konoha or the Akatsuki organization."

Menma straightened his body, looked at Orochimaru with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice.

When Orochimaru heard Menma's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled noncommittally, and didn't say much.

Menma was not surprised at all.

If Orochimaru is the kind of person who is easily influenced or even persuaded by others, then he is not Orochimaru.

Even though Menma seemed to be able to persuade Orochimaru easily before.

But that's because the conditions and intentions put forward by Menma are in line with Orochimaru's interests. If there is any bad blood between the two, Menma has no doubt that this uncle will attack him very ruthlessly.

You must know that even his own master can be cruel.

A mere Menma, if it weren’t for the Ghoul-Sealing Technique, Nine-Tails Chakra, and the most important relationship between the Sharingan and the Rinnegan, he wouldn’t be in Konoha now, let alone the relationship between them. Menma would only be treated as a disposable item by Orochimaru and thrown away directly after use.

Therefore, no matter how many words you talk about, no matter how beautiful you are, it cannot equal the little benefit that can be actually produced. This is the most important thing.

Orochimaru is a much more practical realist than Menma. As for why he becomes an idealist later in the original novel, it's probably because after 'death' once, the perception of life will become different. .

At least Orochimaru is still the sinister Uncle Snake now.

Therefore, Menma was also prepared.

"This is part of the nine-tails chakra that was promised to Orochimaru-san before. I think it should be enough for Orochimaru-san's research. This scroll contains other information that Orochimaru-san is interested in. If there is any suitable information in the future, If given the opportunity, I will bring Nanao's chakra to Orochimaru-san. Again, Orochimaru-san, our alliance can continue forever. This is the most beneficial approach, whether it is for Orochimaru-san. For Sang, it’s still for me.”

Menma took out an ordinary scroll and a seal scroll from his arms, and threw them towards Orochimaru's position.

Orochimaru caught it with his backhand.

Regardless of the sealed scroll, open the ordinary scroll at the front and see the content recorded in it.

Orochimaru's eyes couldn't help but condense, and there was a special luster revealed in the depths of the snake's eyes.

Orochimaru smiled deeply and said, "Menma-kun really brings me big surprises every time."
