Chapter 316 Brothers meet

A thunderous sound.

Almost as soon as the words of this Konoha ninja fell.

Jiraiya, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up suddenly with a look of shock on his face, and Kakashi, Shikaku, and Haiyi, who were sitting on the side, also had serious expressions.

"What!?"

Jiraiya's voice was also raised by several decibels.

"How could Naruto run out!? Aren't there two Anbu arranged to keep an eye on Naruto at all times!? What are those guys doing!?"

Because of worry.

Jiraiya rarely showed a trace of anxiety.

He knew the temper of his child too well, and he also knew how dangerous Menma was now.

Brother?

No.

In the eyes of the young man who had long gone against Konoha, anyone who was related to Konoha and stepped on Konoha's position was an enemy that he had to eliminate, right?

Jiraiya could fully imagine how dangerous it would be if Naruto encountered Menma.

"Shikaku, Kakashi, immediately arrange for people to conduct a carpet search, especially to focus on blocking the border. Don't let Naruto, that bastard, mess around!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath and immediately issued the order.

"Yes, Master Jiraiya!"

Shikaku and Kakashi immediately responded.

"Da Da Da Da!"

The footsteps stepped out quickly.

The two also left the main tent at the same time.

Afterwards.

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

Inside the camp, there were hundreds of Konoha ninjas under the command of Shikaku and Kakashi, one after another.

A comprehensive search and interception was launched in all directions.

And at the same time.

In the Takigakure stronghold dozens of miles away, Menma was also directing the Takigakure ninjas to further strengthen the defensive measures.

Especially on the barrier.

It is difficult to set up a large defensive barrier in a short time. Not to mention the Taki ninjas below, even Menma can hardly do this now. After all, his main goal is to improve his personal strength. In his daily research, the techniques such as barriers and seals are also placed at the end.

Improving one's personal strength as much as possible is the first priority.

Therefore, Menma can't set up a large defensive barrier, but some small barriers that block attacks.

And other special barriers that exist with traps.

Menma has studied and mastered a lot.

He also taught the Taki ninjas in the barrier class below. Of course, they still can't reach the ultimate level of exquisiteness.

But they can still play the basic defensive properties.

At this juncture, we can increase the strength a little more.

It's better than nothing.

All kinds of ninja tools are also configured under Menma's orders, and the same is true for detonating tags.

As long as we win, all the efforts are worth it.

But once we lose the battle,

Now all the savings will become the possession of others and become meaningless.

In this critical step, Menma will never allow any problems to occur.

"Lord Menma, the barrier layout is going smoothly."

"Lord Menma, the trap layout has been basically completed!"

"Lord Menma, the advance reconnaissance and front-line security personnel have also been dispatched one after another."

"Lord Menma..."

"Lord Menma..."

Orders are passed down one after another, and tasks are carried out one after another. It can be seen and felt with the naked eye that Menma already has great prestige in Takigakure Village.

Although it has not yet been said that he will completely replace Shibuki.

But now Menma is irreplaceable in Takigakure Village. The prestige blessing brought by victory in the war is always the most direct and powerful one.

To put it bluntly, even if Shibuki does not take the initiative to give up his position, as long as Menma can continue to win this war, he already has the ability and qualifications to take the throne strongly.

And those Taki ninjas will not have any resistance, nor will they have any opposition.

Menma himself is also very satisfied with the current situation.

Special moments brought by reasonable configuration.

These people are also one of the most important pillars for changing the future and realizing their dreams.

In this ninja world.

Of course, the strength of a person is the most important, and as long as it is strong enough, it can indeed change the entire ninja world, but some things cannot be done by one person.

And that is exactly what Menma is working towards.

"Well, very good, Duolan, the front defense will be handed over to you to supervise. If there are any problems, please send a signal to notify me at any time, and pay attention to the two wings, that is, the news from Shibuki-san and Asun-san. Remember, contact once an hour, and never stop, understand?"

Menma said seriously.

"Yes, Lord Menma, I will obey your order."

Duolan also replied with a respectful look.

Unlike the other Taki ninjas who simply thought that Menma's status in the village had risen and that he was qualified to participate in the village's high-level meetings, Duolan, who was in charge of investigation, was very clear that Menma was already the de facto leader of their village.

And it is far more powerful than the previous leaders, the most powerful one.

Now there is just one more procedure and one more ceremony.

Different from the initial vigilance.

Now Duolan's heart is full of obedience to Menma, unless Menma leads them to a disastrous defeat.

if not.

The several Takigakure village jonins headed by Talan will always be loyal to Menma like Kito Suigetsu, Muzan and others.

"Well, then..."

Menma also nodded slightly and wanted to make some other arrangements.

"Menma-sama!"

Suddenly.

in a location outside the stronghold.

A figure flashed over.

It was a blue-haired male Taki-nin with a handsome face. When he came closer to Menma, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted and said: "There is a blond boy who claims to be your brother, named Namikaze Naruto. Letter to you."

As he spoke, he also took out a scroll from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Menma, who originally thought it was just a routine intelligence report, suddenly heard these words.

Menma himself was stunned subconsciously.

Duo Lan, who was on one side, and Muzan, who had been following Menma the whole way since the start, also showed slightly strange expressions at this moment.

Namikaze Naruto!

This name is not unfamiliar to them, and they are already very aware of the life experience of Menma-sama in their family. They also know clearly that if the blond boy does not pretend to be named, then it is indeed this person in their family. Menma-sama's biological brother.

However, at this time, send a letter?

Is there any special intention for this?

Duolan and Wugou also fell into deep thought one after another.

Menma's daze lasted only a moment.

Then he took the letter from the hand of the blue-haired Taki nin in front of him. After opening it, he only found a location written inside.

Almost instantly.

Menma could now understand what Naruto meant.

This stupid brother of his wanted to meet him alone.

"There will always be unexpected developments."

Menma shook his head as if he was a little amused.

"Duolan, Wugou, I will leave the defense of the stronghold to you two. I will go out for a while and won't be away for too long. Judging from the current situation, the other party will not launch an attack today. However, If there is any movement, send the signal immediately and I will be back right away!"

Menma also made a decision in an instant.

I would like to meet my younger brother.

Just cut off your last thoughts here, and there is no need to worry about the defense of the stronghold after you leave.

Not to mention that Duo Lan and Wu Gu were already there.

The location chosen by Naruto was not very far away, not to mention Menma and the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. He had already carved the corresponding mark in the stronghold.

He can come back in a short time.

Don't need to pay too much attention.

As for ambush or something?

Naruto is not a person with that kind of personality. What's more important is that under Menma's Kagura Heart Eye perception, there is no one in this ninja world who can ambush him!

"Ah? You want to go out?"

When Duolan and Wugou heard this, their expressions changed.

They all subconsciously thought of the most dangerous possibility.

"This is too dangerous, I think you should be more cautious."

The current Takigakure and Kusagakure villages cannot lose Menma. This not only means that the two ninja villages have to rely on Menma's combat power, but also because Menma's own existence has become like a sea-fixing needle.

Just like the early days of the five great ninja villages that were once established.

Each of the first generation Kage is the key to maintaining the existence of the village.

Especially in Konoha at that time, the influence of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama on Konoha was completely different between his life and his death.

Not to mention Muzan, a subordinate who was completely loyal to Menma.

Even Duolan didn't want to see Menma take risks easily now. It was simply gambling on the fate of their Takigakure Village.

"Or if you must go, you'd better take me with you as your escort."

After Wu Gu paused, he continued.

"Haha, no need, I'm just going to see you. Don't worry, I have Kagura's Heart Eye and the Flying Thunder God's Technique. No one in the ninja world can ambush me. You guys, don't worry, Duo Lan, Wu Gu, I’ll leave the defense of the stronghold to you two for now, don’t let me down.”

Menma patted their shoulders lightly and said with a chuckle.

Although it was a very gentle word.

But the resolute meaning can be clearly read.

Duolan and Wujiu could only nod in agreement.

"Yes, Menma-sama."

And also thinking that the special technique mastered by Menma-sama is indeed difficult to ambush, the two people's tense heartstrings relaxed a lot at this moment.

Do you still need to worry about the strength of your own Menma-sama?

"So!"

Menma smiled slightly.

Following from that.

"Whoosh"

On the original place.

After a flash of red light and shadow.

Menma's figure disappeared.

Dora and Wuque then immediately devoted themselves to their respective tasks. Their reinforcements had just arrived, and the defense reinforcement work of the entire base had not been completed.

On the other side.

Menma used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the camp directly.

In a flash, he had arrived at the wasteland on the northeast side more than 20 miles away from the camp.

In this area.

Menma left many Flying Thunder God marks.

Since Menma mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Every time he arrived at a place.

He would try his best to leave a mark in the appropriate position, just to ensure that it can be used anytime and anywhere.

His current control of this technique.

It is still at the primary stage.

He cannot shuttle freely.

The corresponding mark is still necessary.

This is Menma's best way to save his life. As the saying goes, as long as he can ensure that he will not die, then everything will have a plan to start over.

There is no need to be afraid even if his companions die.

Once you can realize your plan.

Becoming a life of the same level as the goddess of the rabbit, resurrecting the dead is a piece of cake.

"Swoosh"

As he moved forward, Menma also released his huge perception as much as possible, and never missed a single bit of the surrounding area with himself as the core.

It was only less than ten minutes of flying.

On a hillside far away from the two forces, Menma sensed Naruto's familiar chakra.

'Are you really here alone? Or is it as stupid as in the original book... '

This chakra fluctuation can be clearly detected.

Unlike in battle, when you can't concentrate 100% and the perception range is easily limited by yourself, this kind of situation is that you can spread chakra to detect without restraint. Menma can ensure that it is within a radius of 20 to 30 miles with 100% accuracy.

There are only the chakras of the two brothers.

'However, this is also the style that Naruto should have. . ’

Menma’s eyes flashed with a fierce look.

He stepped lightly.

“Boom!”

The huge wave of chakra swept up.

The speed of further explosion.

It was telling Naruto clearly that he was here.

Just a dozen seconds later.

Another jungle passed by, and the vision suddenly opened up.

The figures locked on each other.

“Menma!”

“Naruto.”

The four eyes met.

Menma still had an indifferent look.

But Naruto’s blue eyes clearly revealed a special color.

There was guilt, excitement, regret, and endless sorrow.

Because even with a naive character like Naruto, he had already realized after the day in the Valley of the End that it was almost impossible for him to persuade Menma to turn back.

All his efforts may end up in vain.

The probability is only one in ten thousand, or even lower.

But even so.

Just because he is Naruto, for the sake of that glimmer of possibility, he still wants to try his best to see if he can reach it.

This is the case in the original book.

This is also the case in this life.
