Chapter 262 Planning and Confession

The brain short-circuited for a moment.

Ajun felt that his head was stiff, his eyes were wandering around, and his mouth was opening and closing. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

It was really beyond his comprehension.

Especially against Jiraiya.

Ajun didn’t believe anything he said.

On the contrary, Ah Jun didn't pay much attention to the death of Darui and other Kumo ninjas. After all, compared with Jiraiya, Darui was really not famous now, so he would just die if he died.

But Jiraiya is different too!

One of the dignified Sannin of Konoha.

It is a terrifying existence that has shocked the ninja world for more than thirty years.

How can a young man like Menma compete against others? Ajun didn't want to believe anything he said.

But you want to say that Menma is lying?

It doesn’t seem necessary, right?

Ajun could only glance at Mian Ma, and then at his leader, with an expression that he was hesitant to speak.

And Shen Mu's mood on the side was just a little better than that of A Jun.

This is the group of people Menma encounters when traveling.

Including the glorious achievements described later, Shibuki felt like goosebumps all over his body at this moment.

Different from A Jun's suspicion.

Shibuki trusts Menma 100% in this area.

Because Ah Jun didn't know Menma's true identity, he thought he was just a powerful ninja from the Land of Fire.

Naturally, he didn’t think that Menma’s disguised identity of ‘Accelerator’ was capable of confronting Jiraiya.

It can be seen from the perspective of Shimu.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has such capital!

Isn’t the Nine-Tails Rebellion 13 years ago the best proof?

Before, Shibuki was just worried about how far Menma had mastered the Nine-Tails chakra. But now it seems that he has already faced off against Jiraiya!

Shenmu was shocked, but also felt deeply happy!

Because the stronger Menma is, the more likely they are to resist the invasion from Konoha and other ninja villages when Menma’s identity is revealed in the future!

"Is that so? Then this trip has been really hard on you, Mr. Fangfang."

Shenmu also nodded and said with a touch of emotion.

But because he was not politically sensitive enough, Shenmu did not realize the crux of the problem for a while.

"The hard work is nothing, but my identity has been exposed. The next search of the three major ninja villages will most likely focus on our place, Shibuki-san."

Look at Shibuki's expression.

Menma knew that the young leader had not yet reacted.

After a slight pause, those words came next.

"Um!?"

Shenmu and Ajun were both stunned.

Following from that.

The expressions of both of them also changed.

It's just that their ideas are completely different.

Shibuki knew Menma's true identity, but Jun simply thought that Menma's identity as a Taki-nin was exposed, allowing Konoha to learn that the Vulpix Jinchuuriki Yugao had joined his ninja village.

That is indeed a very bad thing.

"Did that Jiraiya see through your disguise?"

"Did Fang Sangqian forget to take off his forehead protector?"

Shenmu and Ajun both said simultaneously.

But only a second later.

Ajun looked at his leader with a hint of doubt.

ah? What is disguise?

Is this one, Fang Sang, still disguised? Eh?

"Facing that Jiraiya, I can't hold back, Shibuki-san. If I don't use that power, I can't fight against him. But as long as I use that power, my The identity will naturally be exposed.”

Menma shook his head slightly and said.

The more sophisticated the transformation technique, the harder it is to see through it. Even Jiraiya, unless he enters sage mode, it will be difficult to tell whether Menma's appearance after transformation is fake or not.

But the appearance and figure can change.

What about actual combat?

Don’t you need Kyuubi chakra?

King Kong blockade is not necessary?

Are there any other techniques including Spiral Wheel Yu that are not used?

If he simply relied on other ordinary techniques to fight, Menma would be an ordinary jounin fighting Jiraiya now! ?

The previous Darui could kill Menma with force.

Therefore, the so-called transformation technique can only be used to fool people under ordinary circumstances. Once they fight, their identity will naturally be exposed.

This technique is very powerful, but also very useless.

Unless there is someone who can perfectly simulate other people's chakra and other powerful techniques, then transformation will only make sense.

For example, Bai Jue!

It’s impossible to do this with face numbness anyway.

Therefore, when Menma showed up to support Sasuke, he had no intention of concealing his identity. It was simply something he couldn't do.

The most they can do is prevent Yu Gao from showing up.

But now it seems.

This is also something that doesn't make much sense.

As long as people are suspicious, they don't need any so-called evidence.

"That's true..."

Shenmu was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly.

"Then what do we need to do next?"

Shibuki leaned forward slightly and said with a hint of solemnity.

If Menma's identity and Yugao's joining of Takigakure are all exposed, it can be foreseen that he will definitely be coveted by major powers.

Especially Konoha and Cloud Hidden Village.

Sand Hidden Village is already weak, so there is no need to worry too much.

Kirigakure Village is quite far away.

At Iwagakure Village.

Menma had confessed to Shibuki before that he had a certain covenant relationship with the Third Tsuchikage. It may not be very strong, but it can still be used. This can be seen from the original work where Onoki used the Akatsuki organization unscrupulously. You can see it.

This third-generation Tsuchikage is a man of no scruples. As long as it is beneficial to their Iwagakure Village, Onoki will not have any hesitation.

This is what Menma wants to borrow.

Shibuki can also understand it more or less through Menma's introduction before.

But even so.

Kumogakure Village + Konoha Hidden Village are also giants. Although they can't attack with all their strength, they still need to be wary of each other, but even Iwagakure Village cannot wait for this pressure, let alone their Takigakure. Village.

"Yes, we must also speed up the pace. Before these big countries react, we must make as many preparations as possible. When the necessary moment comes, we will have the strength to respond!"

Menma took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said.

Not only was Sanbi Isobutsu's plan to be put on the agenda immediately, but there were other equally important plans that Menma also had to carry out at the same time. Doing so would indeed increase the risk of exposing his identity and traces.

But that's not the time to think about it now.

If you don't do anything, it will only take a few months at most, or even a shorter period of time, before your stay in Takigakure Village will definitely be leaked.

It is better to seize this last moment, try your best to complete the plan you made before, and strengthen yourself and the entire Takigakure Village.

"Then..."

Shibuki nodded and continued to say something.

"Um, please wait a moment, leader, Fangfang-san. The identity you just mentioned was revealed, and there is also the covetousness of other ninja villages. I don't understand it very well. If it refers to Yugao-san's identity, Fangfang-san Didn’t we say that it has not been exposed yet? As long as we deny it, it is generally unlikely that major countries will take action against us if they are wary of each other, right?

Ajun directly interrupted Shenmu's words and said with a hint of doubt.

In this world, as long as there is doubt, there is no need for evidence.

Does the strong need to prove something to the weak?

the answer is negative.

But it is also because of the special location of Takigakure Village.

And the special status it has gained over the years.

The five major nations may fight other small and medium-sized ninja villages to death, but only here in Takigakure, they will have many concerns and do not want to easily break the balance of the ninja world.

Even if he is as violent as the Fourth Raikage.

Neither of them said they would take action against Takigakure Village.

I must have thought about the relevant thoughts. After all, it was a tailed beast, but in the end it never really took action, which explains the problem.

Therefore, Ajun's statement is very reasonable from a general perspective.

Just hold on to yourself.

If there is no evidence on the other side.

It's true that he won't take action easily.

If anyone really wants to take action directly, the other ninja villages will definitely stop it. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Konoha, Sunagakure, including the farther Kirigakure village, it is absolutely impossible for a certain ninja village to sit back and watch Taki. The one who defeated the Hidden Village and then captured the Nanao.

That's the mentality.

Either you get it, or no one else gets it.

It would be best to stay in Takigakure.

God knows if you used this excuse to start a war against Takigakure! ?

Hear Ajun's words.

Menma also subconsciously looked at Shibaki.

"Although it may be a little early, I think it's about time, Shimu-san. After all, Ajun-san is also the person you and Elder Wu trust most. If we want to truly implement our plan, we can't do anything to Ajun-san." If Sang has concealed anything, other people in the village cannot wait for the outside world to reveal my identity. That would be detrimental to the stability of the people in the village. "

After Menma took a deep breath, he looked up at Shibaki and said.

Eh?

Hearing Menma's words.

Not to mention the others, Ajun was confused again.

The outside world comes to reveal the identity?

The identity of one party?

Doesn’t it come from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire? Even if it's a little bit special, at most Konoha would care a little about it, right? There is such a powerful person under his daimyo's command, and he joins Takigakure, but the most he can do is pay attention to it, right?

There shouldn't be much to do, right?

Could it be said that this person has other more mysterious and important identities?

Ajun not only started thinking in his heart.

However, he was still thinking in the wrong direction, and he was still guessing directly towards the side of the Fire Country daimyo.

This is essentially a wrong guess.

Shen Mu thought about it for several seconds with a very solemn expression, and finally took a deep look at A Jun who was standing aside, and then nodded slowly.

Ah Jun is indeed the most trustworthy one.

Even though it's a little early now.

But it was also because the situation had changed and it was time to confess.

Just like Menma said.

There's no way that Menma can always disguise his identity in important plans in the future, right? That's neither realistic nor in Menma's interests.

Especially when encountering powerful enemies.

Menma must use Kyuubi's chakra.

That identity was exposed even if it wasn't revealed.

If you don't let the senior officials in your ninja village understand and accept Menma a little bit, if you wait until then to passively accept it, it will be easy to cause problems.

Menma himself planned to find a suitable time in the near future to first confess his identity to the Taki-nin he recognized most in the barrier class.

After these people have been trained for a period of time, they still have initial trust.

"That's true!"

After Shimu nodded, he also spoke directly.

The next second.

"ah!?"

Before Arjuna could react.

"untie!"

Facial numbness is caused by the mudra formed by both hands.

The transformation technique that was directly canceled.

"This is!?"

Face to face.

What you see is a cloud of smoke that appears out of thin air.

At that moment, the thought of 'could it be' had already appeared in Ajun's heart.

Then in less than a second or two.

That was the white smoke that had completely dissipated.

The face of Menma's true deity revealed.

With fiery red shawl hair, the childish figure was obviously ten years younger than Accelerator.

Based on Ah Jun's life experience, one can tell at a glance that Menma's face is definitely in his early teens.

"Ah!? This!?"

His eyes suddenly widened, and for a moment, Ah Jun didn't know what expression to use to face the sudden change of 'Accelerator-san' in front of him.

It’s not that such a scene is incomprehensible.

But the brain suddenly got stuck.

The most important thing is that Menma's face clearly looks a little familiar.

Plus the Konoha-related information just mentioned.

"!?"

That's when Menma's name appeared in Ajun's mind.

"I'm very sorry. I have been hiding it from Ajun-san before. Accelerator is just my disguised identity. In fact, my real name is Uzumaki Menma!"

Menma was already apologetic and took the first step to speak to Ajun.

"Uzumaki Menma?"

That was the name that came out of Ajun's mouth almost instinctively.

The surname Uzumaki already carries a lot of weight.

Ajun is not that kind of rookie in the ninja world who knows nothing. After all, he is also one of the top leaders of Takigakure Village. He is a veteran Takinin in his forties. The reputation of the Uzumaki clan is still very high in the ninja world in the past. of!

Naturally, Ah Jun would not be unclear.

But that's only part of it!

The rebellious ninja of Konoha Hidden Village.

The son of the Fourth Hokage, and the most important Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki!

These are the core and most critical identity labels of the young man in front of me!

It was also at this moment that Ah Jun finally understood the previous series of conversations between Shibuki and Menma, and also understood why Menma was capable of fighting Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

This is the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, the most powerful among the tailed beasts! !

It seemed like he was repeating Menma's name.

This is Ajun who reacted like a hindsight.

"Wait a minute? What did you say? Fangfang-san, are you Uzumaki Menma? That Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha? The son of the Fourth Hokage!?"

He suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Menma who was closer with wide eyes. His face was as shocked as he could be.

He had thought about many identities just now, but he did not think about it from this aspect.

The moment Menma said it himself.

Including a long time.

Ajun still looked like he couldn't accept it, and his heart was extremely surging.

"Yes, I am that Uzumaki Menma. My identity was only known to Shibuki-san, Fu, and the deceased Elder Satoru before. Please forgive me for concealing it. Ajun-san, my identity is really too It's a bit special. Once exposed, it will easily attract the attention of ninja villages in other countries, especially Konoha. As I said before, although I came to this ninja village, I did have some selfish motives in it, but I also hope that this Ninja Village can become great again. The original plan was to wait until some arrangements between Shibuki-san and I were realized, and then slowly reveal my identity to a small part of the village, but the plan could not catch up. Changes, now my identity may be exposed at any time, so I need to speed up the pace!”

Menma nodded slightly and spoke slowly with a hint of apology.

Of course I can understand.

The words are all plain and simple.

People are so alive in front of you.

Of course Ah Jun can understand it and understand the reason.

It's just that the impact of this incident was too great. Even though Ajun's brain could understand it, he still couldn't get over it.

"This... one side... no... that... Uzumaki-san, this is mainly... that... I... it's too sudden, so I can't accept it..."

Ajun patted his forehead and said with a very shocked expression.

"Well, I can understand. My status is indeed a bit special. Oh, Ajun-san, there is no need to use honorifics to me. I am only 13 years old. You can just call me by my name."

Menma nodded and said softly.

Before that, I was still an adult in my 20s, in order to disguise my identity, and my status was almost the same.

It's okay to use the honorific "Sang" to each other.

Now that he has confessed.

He is a senior who has worked hard and made great contributions in the village, and a senior who is responsible for the overall protection work. In terms of attitude, Menma feels that he still needs to be a little more humble to be more appropriate.

"This is... well... I am too arrogant, Menma-kun."

Ajun looked at Menma in front of him, and after hesitating for a while, looking at Menma's sincere eyes, thinking of his eight or nine-year-old son at home, which is a few years younger than Menma, he finally nodded and said softly.

And it was after such a period of calm.

Ajun also sorted out his mood.

He can finally fully understand the meaning of the series of words that Shibuki and Menma talked about before.

Indeed.

Menma's identity is already special to an infinite degree.

Once it is exposed.

What evidence is needed! ?

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village will definitely rush directly!

But at the same time

Ah Jun was also further shocked and delighted by the fact that his own ninja village actually had three tailed beast Jinchuriki, including the ultimate existence of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

This is a super luxurious configuration that none of the five major ninja villages have ever had! !
