Chapter 289 Menma's Courage

Takigakure Village.

In the spacious government hall.

Menma, Shibuki, Ajun, Yugao, Fu, and the Takigakure Village senior ninjas who are in charge of various important positions, namely Fushimi, Duolan and others.

At this time when their own ninja village is about to face the biggest crisis.

Of course, it is necessary to summon all the senior people in the village to discuss important military affairs, and at this moment, these people are almost all stern.

While Fushimi, Duolan and others looked solemn, there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes when they looked at Menma's direction.

Even though they had learned about it several days ago.

But Accelerator, who is obviously a young man in his 20s, is actually played by a 13-year-old boy!

Such a news, Fushimi, Duolan and others still can't digest it a little bit today.

Menma's identity is really too shocking!

The son of the Fourth Hokage, the S-class rebel ninja of Konohagakure, the Nine-tailed Jinchūriki, these three identities are terrifying if they are taken out separately, let alone the combination of the three.

Such a person actually joined their Takigakure Village! ?

It would be a miracle if they could simply accept it.

Besides, apart from Menma.

Yugao's identity is also very shocking.

The S-class rebel ninja of Kirigakure Village, the Six-tailed Jinchūriki.

If there is also a son of Mizukage, it would be even more incredible.

Even so, when they thought that there were three tailed beasts Jinchūriki in their ninja village at the moment, they couldn't help but take a breath.

This is a period when the combat power of their Takigakure Village has expanded unprecedentedly.

Even the peak period when the village was first built cannot be compared with it.

Three tailed beasts!

This is a luxurious configuration that none of the five major ninja villages have ever had, but when they thought of the hell-level disaster that was about to come.

The expressions of these people became very solemn.

Even with three tailed beasts.

They still had no idea in their hearts. Jinchūriki was not invincible. The foundation of the five major ninja villages!

That was definitely not something that ordinary ninja villages could measure and resist.

But in this situation.

They still didn't say much. Everything had to be arranged by their leader.

Fushimi, Duolan and others kept shifting back and forth between Menma and Shibuki with a look that was hard to tell what it meant.

"The above is what we have learned about the movements of Konoha and Kumogakure. Thanks to the information provided by Menma-kun and the strongholds established in advance at the front, we can grasp the movements of the two major ninja village troops more accurately, but it can be foreseen that once the formal invasion begins, the situation will inevitably develop in a direction that we cannot control and predict."

On the right side, Ajun, the person in charge of the garrison, also used the shortest language to convey the information gathered in the past few days to other people present who did not know the details very well.

"Is it the Fourth Raikage who is dispatching himself? He really thinks highly of our Takigakure Village. In that case, it seems that the Hidden Leaf Village will definitely send out corresponding forces. Menma-kun, can we really stop the invasion of the two major ninja villages?"

On the main seat.

Shibuki looked at Menma with an unconcealed anxiety and worry.

He was really afraid.

He was not pretending.

The power of the five major ninja villages was achieved with real guns and swords. Based on past experience, any of the following ninja villages would be beaten by the five major ninja villages!

Even the Hidden Rain Village led by Hanzo, who was once known as a demigod, could only barely maintain its own face and autonomy when the five major ninja villages were vigilant to each other.

If it was a one-on-one duel in the true sense.

The Hidden Sand Village could crush the Hidden Rain Village!

Comparing the number of ninjas, that is a clear gap!

The era when Shibuki grew up was also the period when the power of the five major ninja villages was established. Even compared with the beginning of his succession, he has grown a lot, but this kind of fear comes from the heart, which is impossible to eliminate for a while.

Words will seem very powerless at this moment.

Only strength and victory are the most solid support.

Menma himself is also very clear about this.

Therefore.

"Hehe, Shibuki-san doesn't need to worry at all. Everything is within my expectations. The fourth generation Raikage's personal leadership is indeed a little unexpected, but it is not impossible to deal with it. Konoha is even less likely to cooperate closely with the Hidden Cloud Village. This fourth generation Raikage probably has his own calculations, but he made a fatal mistake, that is, the decision to send troops first. We can completely seize this point, create a time difference, take the initiative, and defeat the Cloud Ninja troops led by this fourth generation Raikage! Lay the foundation for the advantage on the battlefield!"

When Shibuki's words just fell, Menma raised his chin and said with a touch of extreme confidence, sonorous and powerful.

And along with these words.

Menma deliberately released a very faint and cold breath, which filled the vast chakra fluctuations in this space.

It was just a pure "show off" of his strength!

Use practical actions to increase the confidence of his group of people.

Even though Menma himself was worried to a certain extent, anyone could show it, except him. He had to show his most confident and powerful side in front of everyone.

Cowardly before the battle?

No!

This was absolutely not allowed.

After feeling Menma's inhumanly strong chakra fluctuations.

Shibuki, Ajun, especially Duolan, Fushimi and others below, all had their eyes changed.

Until now, they had never really seen Menma fight with all his strength. The previous battles were just small fights.

And at this moment, a glimpse of the leopard!

This breath was enough to make ordinary people tremble.

It did inadvertently give Shibuki, Ajun and others a confidence, but when they heard Menma's detailed words.

"First strike?"

"Time difference? Huh?"

The faces of Shibuki, Ajun and others froze.

"Isn't this inappropriate? Menma-kun, the people attacking now are the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village? Even if they didn't attack with all their strength, their combined strength is absolutely terrifying. We are struggling to defend now, and if we take the initiative to attack, won't that mean we are giving up our own advantages? Isn't the defense line we built before meaningless?"

Ajun stood up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief and resolute opposition, and shook his head quickly.

This is a completely risky approach.

It is a strategy that Ajun absolutely cannot accept. In his opinion, a solid defense is the best strategy. If we go out and attack, if we lose the last game, we will be completely defeated!

"I think it's better to be cautious. We should use layers of defense to wear down the enemy's patience. As long as there are a lot of casualties, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village will definitely want to retreat. The most important thing is that the other three major ninja villages can't just sit there and watch. The past three ninja world wars have proved that once one or two ninja villages join the war, the other ninja villages will definitely lose their temper. At that time, it will be our real turning point!"

A very traditional and cautious approach.

It is also a practice that these small and medium-sized ninja villages have adhered to for decades. Even the Hidden Rain Village led by Hanzo almost never took the initiative to attack. Every time, it only focused on attacking the enemy ninjas who entered the core hinterland of the Rain Country.

It is to make these big ninja villages feel that continuing to fight is not worth the loss, and it will give other ninja villages opportunities, thereby forcing them to retreat.

This trick has been tried and tested.

Therefore, as soon as Ajun's words fell.

Shibuki nodded subconsciously.

Duolan, Fushimi and others in the following positions also showed their agreement at the same time. They even felt that Menma was too arrogant. Did he really think that three tailed beasts could definitely win the battle?

In the past wars, there have been examples of tailed beasts being defeated and captured on the battlefield! ?

Not to mention that there are tailed beasts in the Hidden Cloud Village!

And there are two!

Taking the initiative to attack is really too tightrope walking, too stupid!

They didn't say these words, but their facial expressions have already shown it.

"What Ajun-san said does make sense, but that can only be said in the conventional sense. The current situation is completely different. If we choose to defend, we will really sit and wait for death. Please look here!"

Menma also stood up at the same time.

The large map pulled directly from the side.

What is displayed is the approximate location of their Takigakure Village to Konohagakure Village, and to the nearest distance of the Cloud Ninja Force led by the Fourth Raikage, as well as a series of small punctuation marks of different colors. When everyone present saw this map, the current enemy and friendly situation emerged very clearly in their minds.

"We don't know how sincere the alliance between Konoha and Kumogakure is, and we can't make predictions, but what is certain is that the two major ninja villages will definitely not act together with one heart, and there is a certain degree of defense between each other. This is a gap we can exploit, and the other point is the opportunity given by the Fourth Raikage I just mentioned. Looking at the location here, this Fourth Raikage has already led the troops across the Land of Hot Water and directly entered the Land of Frost, which is less than two days away from our Takigakure Village. However, what about Konoha's troops? According to the news received so far, they have just been recruited and gathered in the northern border area. It is obvious that they plan to join the Cloud Ninja and act together!"

Menma slapped the two areas on the map that were clearly marked with significant red dots.

After a slight pause, he continued.

"This is a golden opportunity for us. Once the two ninja villages merge, no matter whether they have their own ulterior motives, the pressure brought by this will definitely not be as simple as 1+1=2. As long as our front line is shaken to a certain extent, other ninja villages will definitely come up to share a piece of the pie, especially the Hidden Mist Village!"

Intentionally emphasized language.

It was even more like a glance from Yugao inadvertently.

The people present.

As long as they have no problem with their brains.

They can react in the next second.

"To face the joint attack of Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha Hidden Village with a defensive posture is to give up the initiative and passively wait for the opportunity that we cannot grasp. By taking the initiative, we can control our destiny. In our own hands, we need to take risks anyway, why not choose to be more proactive? As long as we can use the power of thunder to severely damage the army led by the fourth generation Raikage, the situation in the ninja world will be over. It will be completely new! And we are capable of doing this!”

Menma took a step forward and said loudly.

Then a surge of momentum burst out from his body.

"Winning or losing, our future can only be decided by ourselves, Shibuki-san, this is the step we must take to move forward!"

In an instant.

Ajun, Duolan, Fushimi and others in the surrounding positions were intimidated by Menma's aura, and Yu Gao looked at Menma with bright eyes.

Such magnanimity, such momentum, such confidence.

This is the existence that he believes in.

Above the main seat.

Shenmu was also staring blankly at this moment with such a numb face.

There was a complex look in his pupils.

‘So is this what I lack? This is what you mean, Grandpa Wu, I finally understand. . . . . ’

There is loss and bitterness, but mostly relief.

‘Maybe your choice really is the right one. . . ’

After repeated ups and downs in my heart, after flashing through many thoughts.

Shibuki took a deep breath, looked at Menma intently, and said with an unprecedented serious expression: "Ah, that's it, our destiny can only be in our own hands, Menma-kun, Just do as you say, and all actions will be subject to your command!"

"Lord Shibuki..."

Although Ajun on one side was also distracted by Menma at that moment, when he heard Shimu's words, he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward, using a very anxious expression. said with an expression.

He admitted that what Menma said did make sense, and it was not impossible to attack.

However, the specific plan still needs to be discussed.

The most important thing is how to let Menma take charge of everything! ?

Isn't this a violation of procedure? ?

no!

This is absolutely not possible. In Takigakure Village, the only one who can preside over all affairs of the Ninja Village, especially when it comes to foreign wars, is Shibuki-sama! ! !

But just as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shemu shook his head and waved his hand to stop Ajun's subsequent words.

"Menma-kun, I leave everything to you!"

He even stood up, bowed slightly towards Menma's position, and said in a deep voice.

at this moment.

There were subtle changes in the expressions of Fushimi, Duolan and others present.

It seemed as if he smelled something unusual.

But at this moment, they all looked at their noses, their noses looked at their mouths, and their mouths looked at their hearts. They lowered their gazes simultaneously, and they all chose to wait silently for the final order.

This is not a place where they can speak at will.
