Chapter 281 Before the Waves Arrive

The seven broadswords of the Hidden Mist Village.

They are not artifacts, but from their respective functions, they are far superior to ordinary chakra weapons, especially the double swords - flounder, and the broadsword - Samehada, which are the most special. The latter is like an independent individual life, which can absorb chakra and give feedback to the owner. This is really very powerful.

Compared with these two ninja swords, the performance of the other five ninja swords is inferior, but they are also the first-class ninja swords in the ninja world. As long as the right ninja gets a suitable ninja sword, his personal strength will definitely be improved to a higher level. Weapons still have a very important strengthening effect for ninjas who have not yet reached the extraordinary level. Hozuki Suigetsu also has his own ambitions.

Among these ambitions.

Collecting the seven ninja swords of the Hidden Mist Village is the most important goal!

At this moment, this beheading broadsword directly attracted Suigetsu's attention and touched his heart.

In the original work, Suigetsu was willing to go with Sasuke in the end. Of course, there were many reasons, and Suigetsu was also very interested in Sasuke. But at the same time, Sasuke agreed to take Suigetsu to find the beheading sword, which played a relatively important role. As a time traveler, Menma was naturally aware of this.

However, unlike the original work, the beheading sword was buried at the place where Zabuza died. In this life, it was brought back to the Hidden Leaf Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen originally intended to use it as one of the important bargaining chips in the negotiation with the Hidden Mist Village.

Later, he died in battle, and this matter was put on hold.

The reason why Menma was able to get this beheading sword was that he asked Orochimaru to get it from Danzo.

Although the old man seemed to want to eat Orochimaru alive, he actually used actions to show his anger towards Orochimaru, but he still couldn't give up the cooperation with Orochimaru. It was really that Danzo couldn't do without Orochimaru's help in too many things.

Especially now that Menma has fallen into the control of Orochimaru (from Danzo's perspective), Danzo is even more unwilling to completely cut off contact with Orochimaru and has always maintained such a delicate connection.

In Danzo's view, it is the most appropriate to seize more benefits in the future.

Danzo naturally does not take a so-called beheading sword seriously. The power that Danzo covets is still Sharingan and Wood Release. Others? They are just child's play. Therefore, after Orochimaru paid a certain price, Danzo was very happy to use his authority to get the beheading sword and secretly sent it directly to Orochimaru.

Then in the past few days, it came to Menma's hands again.

If you hit a stick, you have to give a sweet date. Suigetsu is not his real direct subordinate. Menma wants to drive him, and he wants to completely conquer him in the end, so he must let him see the benefits and a bright future.

Otherwise, why should Suigetsu obey his orders! ?

This beheading sword is the best start.

"What's wrong? Shuiyue, why don't you come up and take it?"

Looking at Shuiyue's stunned look.

Menma smiled gently and said slowly.

"Oh? Yes, thank you very much, Master Menma!"

Suiyue was like waking up from a dream, and hurried forward, and the beheading sword was directly raised. Feeling the weight transmitted to the palm, Shuiyue's eyes suddenly flashed with bright colors.

"The matter here in Kusagakure Village is left to you, and I believe you will definitely do it, right? Shuiyue?"

Menma looked at Shuiyue meaningfully, and said lightly.

"Yes, Master Menma, I will definitely not let you down."

After taking a deep breath, Shuiyue also nodded heavily and replied.

Wuwei, who had a lot of life experience, could more or less "hear" at this moment that the relationship between Shuiyue and Menma was not what he had imagined before. In this case, Menma's arrangement had no special meaning.

Instead, it might be a further request for him.

Slowly shifting his sight upwards.

At the moment when the two looked into each other's eyes.

Facing Menma's calm and deep eyes.

Wuwei had almost the bottom of his heart.

"Go, I will stay in Kusagakure Village for two days. I will leave after everything is stable!"

Menma waved to Wuwei, Shuiyue and others.

"Yes!"

After bowing, the three slowly left the office and went to execute the order Menma had just issued.

"Menma, is it appropriate to let Suigetsu stay? And I always feel that we need to prepare more for Wuwei-san? We finally got the Kusagakure Village, so we should make more careful arrangements, right?"

After Wuwei, Wuku, and Suigetsu left.

Karin, who had been silent on the side, also stepped to the side of Menma after sensing that there were no other extra chakra fluctuations around, and asked with a slightly worried look.

Unlike Menma, who really trusts others to different degrees.

Karin may have a little bit of "paranoia". She has different degrees of suspicion towards everyone, including Shibuki and Yugao. Of course, it can't be blamed on Karin for being suspicious.

It's just that their current situation is not that stable.

In addition to Xiang Lin's own previous experiences, these combined resulted in Xiang Lin's mentality.

As Menma's staunchest supporter, Xiang Rin did not want to see Menma's plan fail or even be defeated because of someone's betrayal.

In the face of any planning arrangement.

Xiang Rin is more sincere than Menma, and Bimenma hopes to achieve perfection, but this is actually very difficult, or to be more precise, it should not be possible.

between people.

Where can there be so much unconditional trust?

"Don't worry, Xianglin, Shuiyue is different from before. As for Wuwei Sang, there is no need to worry. I can see that Wuwei Sang is sincerely willing to follow us, and to say the least, it is not a matter of taking 10,000 steps back. Is there any problem with Lord Wugou? As long as Lord Wugou still needs my help, Wuweisang will definitely stand on our side. You don't need to worry too much about this, not to mention that we don't have it now. Suitable candidates can be arranged here in Caoyin Village, but we can’t let Ajun Sang stay here in Caoyin Village, right? It’s not suitable due to his status.”

Menma gently patted Xiang Rin's little head, shook his head and said warmly.

"No, I mean I'm staying here in Kusakakure, Menma!"

After Xiang Rin took a deep breath, he looked directly at Menma, the words he spoke with determination on his face.

Almost at the same time.

Menma just shook his head and said: "This won't work. You are not suitable to stay here. Xianglin, you should go back to Takigakure Village with me. I still have some experiments there that need your help, that is..."

"You're worried that I'll be irritated if I stay here in Kusagakure, aren't you? Menma?"

But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Xianglin.

"I.."

This is almost the obvious answer.

But Menma couldn't say it.

Indeed, according to common sense, Xiang Rin is the most suitable candidate to stay in Kusakure Village, whether it is Kagura's inner vision, her talent in barrier, Menma's trust issues, and the same Possessing the conditions such as the psychic contract of the Lacquer Rock Wild Lizard Clan are enough to prove that Xiang Lin stays here in Caoyin Village.

Only in this way can he best help Menma coordinate the progress issues between the two ninja villages.

Especially when it comes to fighting together.

There is incense.

It will be much easier to get in touch.

Don't worry, one party may be too aggressive or too conservative.

"Xianglin..."

But Xianglin’s origins and her tragic childhood experience.

These are all Menma's biggest concerns, and don't forget that Xiang Rin has followed Menma. It has only been a year, and there are still some people in Caoyin Village who know Xiang Rin. From the moment he entered Caoyin Village, some of Wuwei's subordinates The ninjas' strangely focused gazes.

It can prove this.

Menma really didn't want to let Xianglin stay in such a place full of sad memories.

"It doesn't matter, Menma, I have you now. I have let go of the past a long time ago, and I can't always follow you. I want to be your biggest helper. Have you forgotten? In the future One day, I will have to face everything alone, and now is the right time, believe me, Menma! "

Xianglin raised her little head, her beautiful bright red eyes looking straight at Menma, with a firm look on her face.

After Menma stared blankly at Xianglin for a few seconds, an extremely gentle look appeared on his face.

"Ah, I believe in you, Xianglin, I will leave Caoyin Village to you, for our plan and for our future!"

Menma nodded slowly and solemnly, grasped Xiang Rin's little hand as if cautiously, and slowly clasped the fingertips.

This is the mutual temperature that is slowly transmitted upward.

Xiang Rin's cheeks also showed a faint cute blush, but she still looked back at Menma intently. She nodded with an unprecedented seriousness and said, "Well, for our plan, and for us. s future!"

Completely follow the step-by-step plan laid out in the established forecast.

There were no unexpected surprises.

In less than a week, Menma successfully achieved his goal of taking control of Kusagakure Village.

Along with the news of Shigeta Masashi's death, and the return of the more than two hundred captured Kusanagi, the news spread throughout Kusagakure Village.

The restlessness in the village gradually calmed down.

Almost the vast majority of grass ninjas have chosen to obey the current situation. Even if there is still a small amount of people who are still unwilling, they can only suppress it forcefully. They must admit that Wuwei is already in full control. The highest authority in Caoyin Village!

Now any order given by Wuwei will be carried out by other grass ninjas, even if they are not his die-hard subordinates.

As long as you don't call these people to die.

The situation of the entire ninja village was under control step by step. Wuwei also followed Menma's instructions. After ascending to the position of the leader of Kusagakure Village, he directly released the news of the alliance with Takigakure Village in the name of the leader, announcing that from tonight onwards, the two ninja villages would advance and retreat together to fight against other hostile forces in the ninja world. Then, they also sent corresponding personnel to the corresponding southeast and northeast directions to build fixed bases, and under the leadership of Karin and Mizuki, they arranged corresponding perception or defense barriers.

These are all very rough arrangements.

They may not really play a particularly big role.

But it is more than enough for general reconnaissance, early warning and message transmission.

And it was after completing this series of arrangements.

Menma also officially embarked on the return journey.

He took Ah Jun and the Takigakure ninjas who set out together and returned to the direction of Takigakure Village. This time the movement cannot be said to be particularly large, but it is definitely not small. As long as people who are interested pay a little attention, they will definitely be able to detect the corresponding intelligence.

Not to mention that Menma appeared openly inside the Kusagakure Village.

As long as the investigators of the ninja villages of various countries are not blind, they can get this information.

This is not to say that Menma has no sense of confidentiality.

But there is no need for that.

Now is the time for Menma to step forward in person. If he continues to conceal it, it will do more harm than good!

And it was when Menma quickly cut the Gordian knot and solved the situation in Kusagakure Village.

After initially integrating the power of the two ninja villages and embarking on the return journey, the ninja world was also changing. In the soup country in the northeast of the continent, the Konoha ninja and the cloud ninja were already angry.

The number of casualties on both sides is further increasing.

And in the southeast area.

In addition to sending corresponding combat forces to the border position to exert pressure at the beginning, the Kirigakure Village has been sitting back and watching the situation.

Of course, the master does not want to see the Hidden Leaf Village forcibly capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Mist Village. That is the bottom line that cannot be broken. However, without real confirmation, the Hidden Mist Village, which is still licking its wounds and in a weak period, cannot really start a war so arrogantly, at least the master will not do that.

Especially the Konoha side has also provided certain evidence and information.

Combined with the news sent back by the Anbu of his own ninja village.

The master also has a certain degree of suspicion.

Anyway, there are still the Cloud Ninjas in front, so the master is not in a hurry.

Anything in this world, unless you really do it quietly, or kill all the witnesses and parties involved, otherwise, the matter will eventually come to light.

The ninja villages of various countries have also kept their eyes on the Hidden Leaf Village during this period of time.

Until Tsunade really felt that she could not fight further with the Hidden Mist Village, she took the initiative to announce some information, especially the information related to Orochimaru and Menma, and the attention of the ninja villages of various countries has shifted to a certain extent.

And before that,

Land of Earth.

Iwagakure Village.

The Third Tsuchikage, one of the most senior people in the current ninja world, Ohnoki, received the relevant information one step ahead!
