Chapter 241 An unexpected encounter

Because the failure of these people means that they have completely lost the trace of the Six-tailed Jinchuriki, Yugao. Before, they had to rely on hanging behind these Mist Ninjas to barely lock Yugao's position.

Now, even whether Yugao is still in the Spring Country is a big question mark. Of course, what Kabuto Yakushi didn't know was that it was precisely because of these tracking personnel that the Mist Ninjas who were chasing Yugao temporarily gave up the pursuit of Yugao, and there was a gap for a while.

Instead, it led to the battle between the Cloud Ninjas and Yugao.

It was difficult for these Mist Ninjas to catch up in the first time. After all, at the beginning, the Mist Ninjas didn't know who was following them, how many people there were, and what their strength was. It was impossible to act separately. In their opinion, those who were able to search for their approximate location and dared to track them were most likely special forces from the other four major ninja villages. If they were not careful enough, it would be easy to be wiped out.

Therefore, under the time tug of war,

The Anbu on the Konoha side arrived at the scene of the battle between the Kumogakure and Yugao earlier than the Mist Ninja.

Now it is directly entering a three-way, or even a four-way, or even a five-way melee mode.

"Is it completely impossible to determine the location of Yugao-san now, Kabuto-san?"

Menma, who was standing on the side, looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a calm look.

"I'm very sorry, Menma-kun, the person who was tracking has been discovered by the Mist Ninja. Now we can only rely on the last information to search. Menma-kun, why don't you wait for a day or two, and wait until the personnel sent by Orochimaru arrive, I will definitely continue to find the location of Yugao-san in the shortest time!"

Kabuto Yakushi took a deep breath, forced a smile to meet Menma's condescending gaze, and replied in a deep voice.

"Wait another day or two?"

Menma showed an expression of noncommittal. Logically speaking, in the absence of accurate intelligence, it is the right thing to do to temporarily abandon this action and let Kabuto Yakushi arrange personnel to collect information.

If we can find out Yugao's location again, we will start the action.

If not.

It is better to go back to our own homes.

After all, if I hang around in the ninja world for too long, it is easy to have problems. I am not sure whether the Nine-Tails Chakra can withstand it 100%. The Flying Thunder God Technique is still a theoretical understanding on paper and has not been truly practiced. The advanced practice of the Rasengan has not been completed, and the bloodline potential of my Uzumaki clan has not been fully developed and excavated.

Once I really encounter a particularly strong enemy, or a large number of enemies, the risk is still very high.

However, the existence of Yugao still has great significance and role for Menma's next plan. The most direct point is the support in terms of combat power, not to mention other invisible benefits. Menma thought to himself that with his current strength, there are still a few people in the ninja world who can defeat him, but it is extremely difficult to kill or even capture him alive.

After just a short thought in his heart.

"Let's go, don't wait for anyone, go directly to the place where we last learned about Yugao-san's whereabouts and the place where he fought with the Mist Ninja. We will search in person. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid this time it will be a waste of effort!"

Menma jumped down from the boulder on the left and came directly to the position beside Kabuto Yakushi, saying with an unquestionable look.

"Ah? Menma-kun, will this happen?"

When Kabuto Yakushi heard Menma's words, he subconsciously wanted to refute directly.

But he didn't finish his words.

"Let's go, Kabuto-san."

Menma waved his hand to interrupt Kabuto Yakushi's words.

"Swoosh"

The chakra exploded under his feet.

He quickly moved towards the east.

That was the location where Orochimaru tracked down the last information his subordinates lost. The specific location was still a long way from where they were now. If they rushed there as soon as possible, they might be able to collect more information.

Menma would not allow himself to return empty-handed this time.

"This?"

Looking at Menma's figure that had already flashed away.

After his face changed two or three times, Kabuto Yakushi could only shake his body and follow closely.

Even if he didn't mention the order of his own Lord Orochimaru, just the dangerous aura that Menma just revealed in his calm words, Kabuto Yakushi had to bite the bullet and follow Menma.

Otherwise, Kabuto Yakushi really doubted whether Menma would be in a bad mood and directly cut him with a knife. Don't think this is impossible.

How old is Menma! ?

13!

Whatever a boy of this age does, Kabuto Yakushi thinks it is normal.

The two people flew at high speed.

Along the way, they did not stop at any time, and went straight to the last position of the final high.

But it was only in less than 20 minutes of speed.

Suddenly.

In the northeast direction ahead.

Menma's huge perception suddenly detected a very powerful but very weak chakra breath.

'This feeling! ? '

This is not the chakra that ordinary humans can possess.

Just in less than a second.

Menma could tell that the owner of the chakra aura that was rapidly approaching him at this moment was ninety-nine percent a Jinchuuriki.

And at this moment.

In the land of spring.

Who else could it be! ?

It's almost definitely that Yugo-san.

Of course, this Yugo-san cannot sense Menma's existence, and the level of perception between the two is vastly different.

Now Menma's sensing radius is almost the maximum distance range.

‘Hoo ho? Is there anyone else behind? Is it the Mist Ninja chasing soldiers? But those people have the strength to seriously injure Yu Gao? ’

After a while, Menma further sensed another group of chakra auras coming from behind Yugao.

By keeping in touch with each other, Menma can make the most accurate judgment.

"Ah? Menma-kun? Why did you stop suddenly? Did you find something?"

Kabuto the pharmacist, who was following Menma, suddenly stopped walking when he saw Menma, still staying on the spot, looking in a certain direction, with a look of surprise on his face, and he immediately guessed what Menma was. Ma may have sensed something.

Perception of facial numbness.

Yakushi Kabuto has experienced it several times.

Orochimaru-sama has also said that Menma has perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. It is even possible that, like Uzumaki Mito-sama, he can sense the breath and chakra dial of all living things within a very exaggerated range. move.

"Haha, it really takes no effort. Once luck comes, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Let's go, Tousou-san, we can go meet this Yugao-san!"

Menma smiled softly, the joy evident in his words.

"Whoosh"

With a tap of his toes, he quickly changed his direction and flew towards the direction where Yu Gao came from.

"Um!?"

Kabuto Yakushi was stunned for a moment.

While subconsciously following up, he seemed to react after a second or two, with a look of surprise on his face.

Can such a coincidence happen? ?

A distance of one to twenty kilometers may take an ordinary person an hour or two to walk, but for a ninja, it is a distance that can be crossed in just a few minutes.

And Yugao, who couldn't feel the numbness before.

When Menma takes the initiative to close the distance, it is possible to detect Menma's chakra fluctuations when he enters a certain range.

There were pursuers behind and interception in front.

What's more important is the terrifying chakra fluctuation emanating from Menma.

Yu Gao's expression became more ugly than ever before.

But this was obviously a very close distance, and it was impossible to avoid it. Yu Gao showed a rare look of determination.

Even if he fights to the death, he will never make it easy for those who are chasing him!

But, the next second.

When Menma's delicate and childish face came into Yugao's eyes, the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki was also stunned for a second or two.

Anyone who is not blind can tell that Menma is definitely just a teenager.

But such a huge chakra fluctuation.

At that moment, Yu Gao seemed a little unable to turn the corner, but it only lasted a few seconds.

Looking at Menma's red hair, the amount of chakra that is impossible for a human to have, and his face that is too young.

Yugao could also react.

It directly reminds me of the major incident that happened last year that was related to the safety of Konoha Hidden Village.

Although Yu Gao was a rebellious nin and didn't have that much free time, he still heard about major events related to the existence of Konoha, a top ninja in the world.

Not to mention that there are Sunagakure Village and other shinobi villages contributing to the cause.

It would be strange for others not to know this news.

This is obviously a guessable identity.

"Haha, this one should be Yugao-san. When we first meet, I am Uzumaki Menma."

The next second.

Menma also introduced himself with a smile.

'It's really that Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki! ’

Hearing Menma's words.

Yu Gao's expression was also shocked instantly.

In such a situation, Yugao really couldn't describe his mood at the moment when he met this famous rebel ninja of Konoha Hidden Village.

Because this Uzumaki Menma's posture seemed to be coming towards him.

"Uzumaki Menma, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki? I wonder why you are here!?"

Being chased and forced to seriously injure himself.

Now Yugao is like a wounded beast, facing everything with a hostile attitude.

Even though Menma doesn't seem to have any hostility now and looks very kind, Yugao still faces him with the most vigilance, let alone what Yakushi Kabuto, who is standing next to Menma, thinks. None of them look kind.

Be wary of Yu Gao.

Menma didn't care. If he was being chased, and then an unknown person suddenly appeared and stopped him, he would have to be 100% prepared.

"Haha, of course I have something important to discuss with Yu Gaosang. Of course, I will not intimidate Yu Gaosang in any way. But don't rush now. Get rid of the group of flies at the back, and we'll come back again Let’s have a good talk,”

Menma smiled softly, and then spoke.

Naturally, Yu Gao didn't believe a word he said now, but the moment he said the next half sentence.

Yu Gao couldn't help but tremble.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The next second.

In the direction where Yu Gao had just arrived.

Four or five figures appeared again.

And when he saw the face of the leader, a hint of surprise appeared in Menma's pupils.

'It's actually Kumo Ninja! ? And is the person leading the team still the future Fifth Generation Raikage? ’

The person chasing Yu Gao turned out to be Kumo Ninja.

Before seeing it with your own eyes.

Menma really didn't expect that.

There is no such plot in the original work, but considering the style of the Fourth Raikage, it seems that such a thing is quite normal.

Doesn’t that fourth generation Raikage hope to obtain everything that can enhance the power of his own ninja village? ?

No ninja village has too many tailed beasts.

If Sunagakure Village hadn't been too poor to afford two tailed beasts back then, there would have been no way that the Seven Tails would have fallen into the hands of Takigakure Village.

The first Hokage's intention at the beginning was that the Nine Tails would be his own, and the other eight tailed beasts would be sold equally to the four major ninja villages.

In other words, Cloud Hidden Village made a little profit. After all, the Eight Tails are still significantly stronger than the other seven tailed beasts.

"Uzumaki Menma!?"

Darui in the opposite position also shrank his pupils suddenly when he saw Menma. As a close confidant of the Fourth Raikage and the recognized successor of the next generation of Raikage in Kumogakure Village, Darui has great influence over the ninja world. As long as his Ninja Village learned all the information, it was impossible for him not to know about it.

Uzumaki Menma is a tailed beast jinchūriki that his own Raikage-sama is eager to obtain.

Even if it was the first time I saw Darui, he was definitely very familiar.

‘Why is this guy here? ’

If he met Menma on other occasions, Darui would be very happy because he could capture this Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and take him back, but it is different now. His own side has suffered heavy losses, and there is a six-tailed jinchuriki below. The Tailed Jinchuuriki, now has to meet another Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

And Kabuto Yakushi, who was following Menma, didn't look like a troublemaker that could be easily dealt with.

"I will be responsible for those guys. Dou-san, please give Yugao-san some treatment. Yugao-san, please be sure to wait for a while. I don't mean any harm!"

Menma smiled softly, after saying the second half of the sentence to Yugao.

"boom!"

The chakra that was released directly.

Covered by a scarlet nine-tails chakra coat.

"Whoosh!"

His body slumped.

He just quickly attacked Darui and other Kumo ninjas who were not far away.

Raging chakra.

A violent gesture.

Just the simplest chakra coat.

But the aura that Menma was exuding at this moment was enough to make the face of Darui opposite him tighten.

He's not in his prime now.

In the previous battle with Yu Gao, he still suffered a certain degree of damage. The most important thing was the consumption of chakra. Darui was not a humanoid tailed beast like Inigaki Kisame.

The current chakra is only one-third of the total amount.

The three or four Kumo ninjas around him were all injured.

"Damn it, retreat!"

After a moment of weighing.

Darui also directly gave the order to retreat.

"Want to leave!? It's not that easy!"

"Psychic art!"

Menma smiled coldly, and pressed the finger he bit into the void.

"puff!"

A huge burst of white smoke appeared out of thin air.

The next second.

A giant dark green lizard then appeared.

"Qitu, stop those guys!"

"Yes, Menma-sama!"

Urushi, who was summoned by the psychic, immediately blocked the retreat of the Kumo ninjas.

That huge body.

The terrifying aura that permeated the whole body.

Just a glance.

Darui could tell that the power of this psychic beast would never be any weaker than when he was in his prime.

Even in a one-on-one duel in its most complete form, it is not an easy task to deal with this psychic beast by yourself.

Let alone now.

"Thunder Escape - Earth Walking Technique!"

"Thunder Escape—The Art of Pseudo Darkness!"

The two cloud ninjas in the front position also quickly formed seals at the same time.

The bursting thunder.

It also attacked directly towards Lizard Qitu's position.

"Boom!"

Thick and long thunderbolts visible to the naked eye.

Lizard Qitu jumped up and avoided one of the strong attacks.

That is the chakra that bursts out accordingly.

The ground shook with it.

The surface was lifted up layer by layer, rolling towards the position of those cloud ninjas. Of course, it was based on the chakra attribute, so it had to be restrained.

But there is a gap in strength.

The difference in the scale of the technique.

It is enough to make up for the gap caused by the restraint of chakra attributes, and it can even suppress it.

The rolling rocks and soil pressed down like a huge wave.

While offsetting the lightning escape technique.

It also further forced Darui and other cloud ninjas to stand.

It was just such a critical few seconds of blocking.

Menma had already approached the position in front of him.

"Ninjutsu - Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

The mark that was formed quickly.

"Swish!"

The shuriken was thrown out suddenly.

When the technique was completed.

In the air, hundreds of shadows appeared.

In the area covered below.

Almost all the cloud ninjas were included. As Menma's strength increased, his control over this technique became more and more proficient.

Whether it was speed or range.

It was no longer the same as before!

"Earth escape - Earth Wall Technique."

In addition to Darui's quick reaction to dodge, there was also a Cloud Ninja who was quick to form hand seals and had been less injured before, and quickly formed a hand seal in front of him, forming a wall that perfectly covered his body.

The remaining three Cloud Ninjas had no time to dodge.
