Chapter 148 Extremely Strong Ambition

"Then, all subsequent matters will be left to your village. This is the deposit for the mission, so we won't bother you any further."

After confirming the key points of the mission for the last time and paying the promised deposit for the mission on the spot, Menma stood up with satisfaction.

"Ah, then let me give you two a gift."

Then, with the gifts of Shibuki and shisha, they left Takigakure Village along the same route, watching Menma and Ma's departure.

Shen Mu's face was still filled with excitement.

This is the first major foreign negotiation matter he has reached. In the view of young Shibaki, this mission will definitely bring great benefits to their Takigakure Village, and there may even be some invisible benefits that cannot be seen.

"Chief, is it not appropriate to accept this mission like this? After all, this involves Konoha. If we are not careful, our Takigakure Village may very well be involved in an unpredictable whirlpool."

The hookah on one side looked at Shibuki with a gloomy look and said.

He didn't mean that it was unreasonable, but in the current ninja world, it is not too common for ninja villages from various countries to compete for task shares, even if such a task involves the Fire Country and Konoha Hidden Village. There are some problems, but compared with the benefits that can be seen, what about taking some risks? There is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world.

Hookah is more about opposition for the sake of opposition.

He originally coveted the throne of the leader of Takigakure Village, but now he is bent on overthrowing Shibaki's position. How could he want to see Shibaki stabilize his position because of various political achievements? ?

"Shisha-san, this is an established matter, and didn't we just ask Elder Qingtuo for his opinion? Now that the mission has been received, let's carry it out according to the rules."

Shibuki also showed a rare toughness, looking at the hookah in a very serious tone and said.

This was somewhat of an unexpected conversation.

Let Shisha's expression suddenly cool down.

The conversation inside just now made Shisha very unhappy, and now that he was attacking him so directly, the anger in Shisha's heart was rising slowly, but this is the main entrance of Ninja Village, involving Mu is still the leader of this village,

The hookah suppressed the anger in his heart, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and left.

‘Don’t give me a chance, Shibuki, and you old guys, don’t force me. If you really make me anxious, then destroy this village too! ’

A cold and stern look appeared in Shisha's eyes when he turned around, and he was thinking with murderous intent in his heart.

Shibuya was looking at Shisha's back as he turned away, with a look of helplessness on his face. With his character, he didn't want to be so tough. What's more, what Shisha was worried about just now, Shibuya I'm really worried too.

To describe it in one sentence, Shibaki is the kind of person who hopes that everything can proceed smoothly, but from the current point of view, this mission can indeed bring great benefits to their Ninja Village and him. Thinking of the teachings of the deceased old leader and the explanation just given by Elder Qingtuo, Shenmu shook his head and clenched his hands tightly.

‘I must not let them down! ’

Not to mention the internal problems in Takiyin Village.

On the other side, Menma and Xiangren, who had successfully left the main entrance path, unlocked the transformation technique and regained their appearance after completely leaving the boundaries of Takigakure Village.

When he thought about how smooth his career was, Menma raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a nice curve.

"Menma, I still don't understand why you want to go to Takigakure?"

Xiang Rin, who was on one side, was still confused. She couldn't understand Menma's behavior at all. Of course, this was also because Xiang Rin didn't know Menma's plan yet. Therefore, in Xiang Rin's opinion, many of Menma's actions were... It doesn't seem to make much sense.

"Haha, I'm looking for Takigakure, of course, for future arrangements. Xiang Rin, didn't I say before that we need a stable foundation for our future. Orochimaru-san is just an overkill after all. Besides, you don't believe Orochimaru. Maru-san, I actually don’t believe him either. The relationship between us is just mutual use. Therefore, I need to make more preparations in advance. This time I come to Takigakure Village, it is just a preliminary investigation and testing. ”

Menma smiled softly and told Xiang Rin his intention without any concealment.

"Oh!? So that's it. Does that mean we will join Takigakure Village in the future? But we used the transformation technique to go there, will this have any impact?"

Xianglin first nodded as if he suddenly understood, then frowned and asked with confusion.

"I can't say for sure yet. I just have to take a look at it first. The leader Shimu is still a bit interesting, but we still have to wait and see what happens next. It's hard to say anything."

Menma said with a smile.

Because of Shibuki, because of the hero's water, and even more because of the Nanao Jinchurifu, Takigakure Village is of course Menma's first choice. If possible, Menma will definitely try his best to control Takigakure Village in the future. In his own hands, Menma is still very clear about how difficult it is.

But no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it.

This is one of the most reliable options.

As for the outcome, that depends on God.

The time left for Menma is not much, but not too little. Three years is enough to change everything.

"Oh? What is the meaning of the mission you asked them to carry out? And the people you want to find? Who are they?"

Karin nodded as if she understood, then she seemed to think of something, stared at Menma with wide eyes and asked.

"Oh, that, it's just a way to go with the flow. We can't just go to a ninja village without any reason to meet the leader of a ninja village, right? In addition, this mission can be carried out for a long time, so that we can contact Takigakure Village from time to time to make further arrangements. The people we are looking for are the descendants of the former daimyo of the First Kingdom, Suzaki Gossa, who I promised to Urushi before, and the descendants of our Uzumaki clan who are scattered in the ninja world, as well as some other specific candidates."

Menma paused and continued.

"Is that so!"

Karin nodded and replied.

"It's the same thing again. The future development depends on our choice as well as theirs."

Menma turned around, as if he could see through the layers of mountains and see the interior of Takigakure Village. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said softly.

"Let's go, Karin, it's time to go back."

"Yes!"

Then.

Menma and Karin each exploded their chakras, walked side by side, and quickly returned to the location of the East Field Country.
