Chapter 181: Plan

This is an approach that kills two birds with one stone.

Anyway, Senma could probably guess what Onoki's intention was in meeting him, so inviting Orochimaru to go with him was the most appropriate thing to do.

It doesn't matter whether it means a lot or not.

The point is to focus on a suitable one.

"Yes, then I understand. Then, I will be rude first."

After Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Menma with a strange expression, he turned around and walked away.

He looked at the back of Kabuto the pharmacist who was walking away.

Menma's pupils also showed a hint of thought.

‘There are still too few people. . . ’

Menma couldn't help but sigh quietly inwardly.

If you want to cultivate your own people, it cannot be done overnight, let alone in one sentence. Many of the things you have to do next will require you to face great risks, and you may even risk your life.

Not to mention how many people are willing to do such a thing.

Even if someone actually agrees.

You have to decide whether you believe it or not.

To put it bluntly, Orochimaru's approach is the most appropriate. In the vast ninja world, he selects those who are desperate, or those who have lost everything since childhood, and gives them hope and strength.

Talents cultivated in this way are the most loyal and trustworthy.

Kimimaro, Guren, and the four sound ninjas are the best proof, even for a semi-monk like Kabuto Yakushi.

Orochimaru also relied on his own methods and personality charm to win the loyalty of Yakushi Kabuto.

But this is not what Menma can do now.

‘We still need to seize some time in Takigakure Village, and there are other places where we need to fight for them if possible. ’

Menma's mind also flashed through the faces of important figures in Takigakure such as Shibaki, Fu, and Shisha, and even some important supporting characters who were wandering on the edge of the ninja world.

For example, Yu Gao, the six-tailed Jinchūriki who is currently defecting, is also a very worthy target.

There is also the three-tailed Isobutsu who is currently in a wild state.

If possible, 'recruiting' him and sealing him into Xianglin's body can also enhance their side's strength to a great extent.

One by one.

One by one.

These clear goals must be accomplished in the shortest possible time. Only by obtaining and integrating these forces faster can we achieve them faster.

Menma can expand his sphere of influence as much as possible in the future.

Even now we are starting from scratch.

‘So, I still need to take some time to visit the Kingdom of Water. ’

Menma took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the country that was outside the mainland and located to the east of the sea.

On the other side of the stronghold, in a special forbidden area.

Orochimaru, who was guiding Sasuke in the first stage of training, heard the report from Kabuto Yakushi.

First he showed a look of surprise, and then he reacted immediately.

A slightly demonic smile appeared on that almost sickly pale face and he said: "Haha, Menma-kun is really surprising as always. Sometimes I can't help but want to Let’s take a look at Mr. Ma. What kind of 12-year-old boy does it take to be so special?”

Orochimaru's pair of snake eyes also showed a trace of incomparable desire.

This is no joke.

But I really have similar thoughts.

Menma's performance has far exceeded similar definitions of so-called 'precocious' and 'genius'. If it wasn't very clear, Menma is the son of Minato and Kushina, and he was under the surveillance of the Anbu in Konoha. After living in the underworld for 12 years, Orochimaru would really doubt Menma's existence itself.

When Yakushi Kabuto, who was in the lower position, heard Orochimaru's words, he couldn't help but nodded, with a hint of recognition in his pupils.

"So, Orochimaru-sama, how should I reply to Menma-kun?"

"Of course I agreed. I'm also very curious about why Onoki-san wanted to meet Ma-kun in person. The location should be directly in the northern part of Grass Country. It's also close to Iwagakure Village. Border stronghold, it can be considered a sincerity."

Orochimaru smiled softly and continued to speak in that hoarse tone.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

After Yakushi Kabuto bowed and answered, he turned and left.

After conveying Orochimaru's intention to Menma, he was also preparing to send someone to Iwagakure Village.

This does not require a meeting with much discussion.

After the relevant information is passed on.

The third Tsuchikage's promise soon came to Iwagakure Village.

The time is set directly in three days.

This Tsuchikage-sama seemed to be even more eager to see Menma than expected.

This made Menma himself somewhat unable to help muttering inwardly.

And that was when Menma was about to go meet with Onoki.

News of the battle in the Valley of the End.

It was also spread in a small area above the ninja world.

After all, this is a battle at the border. Although Uchiha Sasuke seems to be just a genin of Konoha Hidden Village, his identity is destined to attract a lot of special attention. For Konoha Hidden Village, in just a short time In less than a month, two people with special identities defected one after another.

Ninja villages in various countries have paid special attention to it.

Of course, the Ninja Villages in these countries have only been able to obtain part of the information. The specific process and final results still require more in-depth investigation to learn.

But here, there is one exception.

That is Uchiha Obito with the assistance of Black Zetsu.

Although most of the one hundred thousand White Zetsu are still asleep, the number of White Zetsu who have been dispatched to be active in the ninja world definitely exceeds four figures. With the help of these White Zetsu, plus the early morning There are some foreshadowings left by Madara over the years. Obito is definitely the fastest and most accurate person in the current ninja world who can obtain information.

And that was the moment when the relevant information was received.

This obito boy almost ran away on the spot.

"Kakashi's Sharingan was taken away by Menma Uzumaki!? And he almost died at the hands of Menma Uzumaki!?"

Obito suddenly turned his head, looked at the White Zetsu who came to report the information with a very cold look, and said in a cold tone.

"Ah la la, of course this is true. Could I still lie to you? That Uzumaki Menma is really cruel. Not to mention Kakashi, his brother Namikaze Naruto almost died. It's in his hands, tsk tsk, it seems that this guy's anger towards Konoha has really reached its extreme."

This White Zetsu was obviously one with a very outstanding personality. He didn't care about Obito's anger at all. The big gaping mouth showed a very exaggerated and funny expression on his face, and he was amazed.

It was as if he was very interested in the existence of Fengma.
