Chapter 138: The Kingdom of the Head (Third Update)

Of course, the survival of these small countries is also due to their own decision-making choices.

Otherwise, counting from the Warring States Period to the present decades, or even hundreds of years, small countries have been destroyed.

The most typical one is the country of whirlpool, the whirlpool village.

It was once one of the most powerful middle-level countries and Ninja Villages among the five major countries.

Isn’t it said that it is shattered?

Although there are multiple reasons for the destruction of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and Konoha, as an ally, also played a less glorious role, in the end, the Kingdom of Whirlpool was destroyed. This is an established fact.

In addition, in various regions of the ninja world, small countries of different sizes have been destroyed and disappeared in the long river of history. Some countries have also become stronger by annexing these countries. Menma's target location this time is It is an area originally belonging to a small country that was annexed by the country of Taki thirty or forty years ago.

It was a small country called ‘Shou’.

At its peak, there were only a few cities and a country with a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people.

The reason why Menma chose to come to this small country is also very simple. Although this country is small, the former First Country possesses a very precious contract scroll of a psychic ninja beast.

The scroll of a psychic ninja beast named Shouzaki Lizard.

This was something Menma had been looking forward to getting even before he left the Hidden Leaf Village.

A powerful psychic ninja beast can assist the ninja to a great extent.

Especially in large-scale team battles, powerful and large psychic ninja beasts are the ultimate killer.

So far as to say that as long as the strength is strong enough, at the shadow level, the psychic beast can still participate in the battle as the absolute main force.

For example, Orochimaru's Ten Thousand Snakes, Tsunade's Slug, Jiraiya's Gamabunta, etc.

These psychic ninja beasts are all directly comparable to Kage level strength.

Therefore, before the battle intensity reaches the level of air every second in the later stage, the role of a psychic ninja beast is unparalleled.

Just how strong the Shouzaki Lizard is is not shown in the original work very intuitively and comprehensively, but no matter how you look at it, its combat power exceeds that of ordinary psychic ninja beasts. Menma is not very greedy, as long as he can be as close as possible to the third level. The strength of the psychic ninja beasts of the Great Holy Land is enough.

Even if it is much weaker, it doesn't matter. There are simply not many things that a psychic ninja beast can do.

"Maybe this is the area?"

Based on the information obtained from Orochimaru, Menma came to this area after trying his best to locate the approximate area of the former First Country.

"Is this where the former capital of the First Kingdom was located, Menma?"

Xiang Rin looked at the endless mountains not far away, turned to Menma with a hint of doubt and asked.

Shouldn't cities be built on plains, or at least in basins? Not to mention that this was once the capital of a country, right?

No matter how you look at it, it can’t be built in a mountain range, right?

"Haha, there is no trace of where the capital of the First Kingdom is exactly. What we are looking for now is the specific location of the Shouzaki Lizard. Judging from the information I have collected before, then A Shouzaki lizard exists in the mountains in front of us."

Menma said with a slight smile.

The memory in the original work has become less clear. This is not the most important plot after all, but Menma still has an impression of the general content. Then combined with the information he has detected in this life, he can lock a person. Roughly the area.

"Oooh!"

Xianglin also nodded with understanding.

"Let's go. Although this mountain range is huge, the chakra of a huge psychic beast is not that easy to hide. It is only a matter of time to find him."

Both himself and Xiang Lin are of the most orthodox Uzumaki clan bloodline.

That is already a perceptual ability that can cover a rather exaggerated area.

Unless this Shosaki lizard is not in this mountain range at all, it is absolutely impossible to escape the perception of the two.

"Whoosh"

After rushing all the way into the mountains, Ma and Xianglin also split up. The overlapping perception ranges were meaningless at all.

Performing carpet searches separately can directly double the efficiency.

Menma really didn't believe that it was just a Shouzaki lizard. Under the huge sensory coverage of the two of them, he could still miss it.

In fact, it took less than an hour.

Xianglin's side has locked the target.

The two people who reunited were heading to the giant chakra distribution point together.

When I saw the rusty black 'castle' in front of me.

Xiang Rin blinked his eyes and looked at Menma with a hint of confusion: "Is this the Shouzaki Lizard?"

"Haha, didn't you lock this in yourself? Why are you doubting yourself now?"

Menma said with a smile.

"But? Can a psychic beast turn into a castle?"

Xianglin's brows were all knitted together.

Your own perception is infallible.

The giant 'castle' in front of me was the huge body of chakra I had sensed before. Now at close range, this perception has become clearer and richer.

But Karin still felt a little awkward. A living summoned beast could transform into a castle?

It's not impossible, but it's just such a visual impact that makes Karin a little uncomfortable.

Menma looked completely accustomed to it.

After reading too much of the original story, there are endless strange things.

The scene of the summoned beast turning into a castle is nothing compared to the big one.

"Shuzaki Lizard, I know this castle is a disguise of you. I want to have a good talk with you. I hope you can give me a chance!"

Summoned ninja beasts are creatures with high intelligence like humans.

Menma doesn't need to worry about others not understanding his words. Although he has made some preparations, he still wants to see if he can convince this Suzaki Lizard with words.

It's better not to take action if you can.

However, this Suzaki Lizard obviously doesn't buy Menma's account.

After Menma's words fell, more than ten minutes had passed, and the "castle" in front of him was still standing there so deep and quiet, without any reaction.

It can't be that this Suzaki lizard doesn't understand or even can't hear Menma's words?

This is too funny.

'Alas, it seems that I still have to be tougher. '

Menma shook his head helplessly.

"Karin, you step back first, let me handle this."

Then he turned his head and looked at Karin at the side and said so.

Before coming here, Menma was indeed mentally prepared to subdue this Suzaki lizard in a fight. After all, the most important thing to contract a certain summoning beast is to get recognition from others.

And showing one's own strength is one of them.

A weak ninja is impossible to get the recognition of a powerful summoning beast.

"Well, I know."

Karin naturally knew that in such a battle, not to mention that she had no ability to participate in it at all, even if she had, she would have to watch.

This requires Menma to fight alone.

"Then you have to be careful, Menma."

Karin said as she retreated.

"Well, don't worry, Karin."

Menma smiled.

After Karin pulled a safe distance.

Menma's eyes focused.

"Snap!"

He clapped his hands.

"Lightning Release - Thunder Dragon Bullet Technique!"

This chakra was directly refined.

Thunder surging.
