Chapter 402: Choice in Fright and Rage

As the person involved, Yukito was actually very confused.

Since waking up from a long coma two days ago, he looked at Uzumaki Menma standing in front of him with a calm face.

After the initial confusion, Yukito immediately took a fighting stance.

But Menma just waved his hand and said lightly, "This is the northernmost border of Taki Country, you can go back to the Hidden Cloud Village directly." Then he flashed away and disappeared.

This made Yukito almost doubt his life.

What the hell?

Just let me go?

At that time, Yukito's mind was a mess, and he couldn't understand what was going on.

Even though Yukito was an experienced and senior cloud ninja, the situation was really too weird. You know, when she was arrested, she was ready to die. She didn't think Menma would let her go.

Therefore, such a development deeply troubled Yukito.

And it was after the initial trouble.

Yukito himself also discovered the changes in his body. The seal was broken, and the most terrifying thing was that the two-tail disappeared!

This discovery.

Directly made Yukito's three views collapse.

The two-tail is gone! ?

I am still alive! ?

At that moment, Yukito really had an impulse to chase in the direction where Menma left. She wanted to ask for clarification, but in the end, reason still restrained this impulse. Menma must have done something special to her. Not only did the two-tail disappear, Yukito could also clearly feel the changes in her body.

Lightning attribute chakra stimulates cells to activate.

This is the specialty of their cloud ninja.

However, this is a means of forcibly stimulating and strengthening through chakra. Once it stops, the activation of cells will return to normal. If you are not proficient enough, you will hurt your body.

But now, Yukito can clearly feel that her cell activity is much stronger than before. Although her body seems to be very weak, Yukito has a feeling that if she is given some time to recuperate, she can become stronger than before.

This series of strange changes.

All make Yukito feel that she must return to the Hidden Cloud Village immediately and report to her own Fourth Raikage.

And just when she heard that Yukito had returned.

The Fourth Raikage was extremely surprised.

He did not expect that Menma actually put Yukito back.

But the surprise turned into anger and shock in less than a short time.

The two-tail is gone!

This not only represents the loss of the top combat power of the Hidden Cloud Village, but the key lies in Menma's means!

"Uzumaki Menma, how did he do it!?"

The Fourth Raikage said with a ferocious and puzzled look on his face.

Although the cracking of the seal technique can well illustrate the strength of a ninja, it cannot really represent everything. However, it has cracked an established fact that has been tacitly accepted by the major ninja villages in the ninja world for decades, which is far beyond the scope of the Fourth Raikage's understanding.

Of course, this is also because too many precious bloodline families have disappeared in the current ninja world. The Fourth Raikage, who is limited, naturally cannot understand the fact that the tailed beast has been extracted and the Jinchūriki can still be alive.

It is also because of this that the Fourth Raikage's awe of Menma has become stronger. He was defeated by Menma on the front battlefield, and now there is the matter of Yukito. The Fourth Raikage's heart is really unsettled.

"It turns out that because the two tails can be extracted smoothly, he agreed to release Yukito so easily. Uzumaki Menma is really a terrible guy."

On the side, Dodai, who has always been calm no matter what situation he encountered in the past ten or twenty years, now has an unprecedentedly cold expression.

Now he can finally understand why his fathers had such an expression when they mentioned the first generation Hokage and the Uchiha clan's Shura.

Even now, Tsuchiya still doesn't think Menma will reach the height of those two who dominated the entire ninja world.

But in the current situation.

Menma's strength and pressure are obviously unique.

Not to mention.

The Hikari Village is now the ninja village with the most tailed beasts.

Let alone Menma himself.

There are also the two-tailed, six-tailed, seven-tailed, and a black monster with huge flesh wings that can almost be said to be comparable to the tailed beasts.

Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village were not small characters to begin with. Now the strength after the merger can at least be on par with the Sand Village. Such comprehensive combat power is undoubtedly the first in the ninja world! ?

Tsuchiya took a breath and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Before, Dodai still felt that he could be relatively optimistic about the current situation in the ninja world. No matter how strong the Hikari Village led by Menma was, it was still limited. Konoha and Iwagakure were both existences that could be challenged.

Their Kumogakure Village could wait for an opportunity to move.

But what about now?

Maybe Konoha + Iwagakure Village = Hikarigakure Village?

Or are there other possibilities?

Dodai felt that he really had to think carefully about the next strategic choice of his own ninja village.

After all, it seemed that no matter which side his own ninja village leaned towards, the situation was very confusing.

All previous judgments have been invalidated.

Dodai rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Damn it, the two-tail belongs to our Cloud Village, we must take it back!"

The fourth Raikage said with a gloomy face.

But that's what he said.

Whether it can be taken back is another matter.

It can actually be seen from the attitude and behavior of the fourth Raikage that if it could be taken back, the fourth Raikage would have directly ordered a full-scale attack. In fact, their Cloud Village does not have this strength now, not to mention that it has been hit hard one after another. Even if their Cloud Village, which was intact before the war, faces the current Light Village, it is estimated that it is in danger. Uzumaki Menma alone is not something they can easily fight against.

Unless his father, the third Raikage, is resurrected.

This is the opinion of the fourth Raikage Ai.

"It is inevitable to take it back, but not now, and it is not feasible to rely on ourselves. Lord Raikage, I suggest that we need to change the previous plan. We may also need to try to strengthen the connection between Konoha and Iwagakure."

Touchai took a deep breath, walked lightly to the position close to the Fourth Raikage, and said in a very serious tone.

Touchai cannot fully estimate how strong the Hikage Village is.

But it can be judged that the Hikage Village + Konohagakure Village, even if they go all out, cannot directly take away the Hikage Village in one wave.

The two tails were pulled out, and the wooden man is still alive.

Not only does it mean that Menma's side has one more tail beast Jinchuriki, but it also means that they need to reconsider Menma's own strength, or the strength of other aspects.

If they still choose to stand on the side of the Hikage Village as before, the situation will not be under their control.

The result behind is definitely not what they want to see in the Hikage Village of Cloud.

Because, from the overall situation of the Hidden Cloud Village, the best result is still the defeat of the Hidden Light Village, and then the Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Rock Village will at least suffer as much damage as the Hidden Cloud Village in this war.

It would be best if they could just pull one of them to self-destruct.

Only then will it be in the interests of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village will have a chance to regain the Two-Tails, or even get more!

"Contact them?"

The Fourth Raikage frowned.

Uzumaki Menma is of course the Fourth Raikage's mortal enemy, but the Hidden Rock Village is the Fourth Raikage's more hated enemy, whether it is the large number of ninjas killed and injured by the Hidden Rock Village this time and the key land lost, or the death of his father more than a decade ago.

New and old grudges are completely unclear.

Among the original five major ninja villages, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village are the real mortal enemies.

Want the Fourth Raikage to choose to form an alliance with the Hidden Rock Village? That would be more painful than killing him. As for the Hidden Leaf Village, the Fourth Raikage has always had a bad impression of it. He also despises and distrusts Konoha from the bottom of his heart.

Why did the Fourth Raikage take the lead in the previous war?

This is also one of the most important reasons.

"Lord Raikage, this is the only choice. Uzumaki Menma is too strong, and the current upward trend of Hidden Light Village is also very fierce. We must put aside some prejudices, and this is only temporary. What's more, it doesn't mean that we will really unite with the two families. It's just a pre-preparation, because no one can judge what the specific situation will be next."

Tsuchida continued.

The five major countries have become six major countries.

The ninja world seems to be the same ninja world.

But Tsuchida always has a little uneasy feeling in his heart, which is based on this psychological foundation.

Tsuchida will tend to choose a more conservative strategy.

Their Hidden Cloud Village can no longer withstand another heavy blow.

The timid attitude of the Sand Village is not the future that the Cloud Village wants. First, make all the necessary preparations, and then make judgments based on the specific situation.

"Well, I understand what you mean. Then be patient for a while."

The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath, forced down his restless heart, and nodded slowly.

"Yukito, during this period of time, you should have a good rest. The village will not assign you any tasks. You don't need to have any psychological burden about the two-tailed matter. This is not your responsibility. When you are fully recovered, the village still needs you."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Yukito on the side and said with a slightly gentle voice.

The Fourth Raikage was as violent to the outside as he was to the inside. The environment inside the Cloud Village has always been the best among the five original ninja villages, not to mention that Yukito was captured only to support him and buy him time to retreat.

Just based on this point.

The Fourth Raikage must try his best to settle Yukito.

The responsibility for the loss of the two-tail should be borne by him, the fourth Raikage.

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

Yukito opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back and just nodded slightly in response.

Yukito was very clear about how weak his body was.

Although Menma seemed to have strengthened Yukito's body as much as possible, making Yukito's cells more active.

His vitality became more vigorous.

But in the end, the two-tail was still extracted.

A period of weakness is inevitable, and it is true that she cannot be of much help to the village now. It is most correct to go back to recuperate honestly.

After Yumu Ren turned around and left.

"Tudai, do you think Yumu will have any problems?"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flashed slightly, but he still couldn't help looking at Tudai and asked.

Although based on the Fourth Raikage's many years of experience and his recent contact with Yuki, he is 99% sure that there is nothing wrong with Yuki, but there is still a strange thought in his heart. As a result, the Fourth Raikage was unable to fully trust Yuki Ren. You must know that Yuki Ren had been missing for several months, and now he is still returning in the same form as after the two tails were pulled away.

As the shadow of a village.

The Fourth Raikage had to consider the worst outcome.

As Todai himself has considered, the current Kumogakure Village cannot withstand another major blow. It is okay if the ninja village handed over to him by his ancestors cannot become stronger, but it will definitely be destroyed. Never cut it off in your own hands.

"It shouldn't be possible, Raikage-sama, there is no need for Uzumaki Menma to do this. The loss of the second tail is a huge signal. If Yukito really has a problem and Uzumaki Menma has other plans, he should not do this. , so I think Yumu can still be trusted as before. Of course, Raikage-sama, if you are still worried, I suggest that after Yumu recovers, let her follow Kirabi. This kind of help to Kirabi is also a kind of special supervision for Yumu people.”

Dodai shook his head at first, rejecting the suspicion of the Fourth Raikage, but then changed the subject and directly made a suggestion that was enough to reassure the Fourth Raikage.

as expected.

As the words fell behind the platform.

The Fourth Raikage's eyes lit up.

It is indeed a very reliable way to let Yukito follow Kirabi. As his adopted brother and the eight-tailed jinchūriki of the Ninja Village, Kirabi is very important in terms of status. .

But the character of his sworn brother is too cheerful.

It has always been a headache for the Fourth Raikage.

Yumu's personality is that of a very gentle and calm person, so it is indeed very suitable for Yumu to partner with Kirabi.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Let Yumu Ren go directly to Yunlei Gorge after he recovers. And you also reminded me, Tutai, that we need to strengthen the security of Yunlei Gorge at this juncture. Come on, you must not let that guy act recklessly, and you must stay within the control of the village!"

The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lord Raikage, I will obey your orders."

Tutai also bowed and replied with a solemn expression.

Under different circumstances.

different decisions made.

As the situation gradually evolved quietly, Menma was no longer the chess piece that could be manipulated by others.

But one of the most important chess players on the world chessboard.

Every decision and every action Menma makes has a profound impact on the world.
