Chapter 444: Infiltration and Discovery

Whether it’s in the original work or in this life.

Toneri had given full play to his subjective initiative and proved that this child was indeed an existence that could easily be fooled. Menma had to be on guard, and before his own cognition had fully penetrated Toneri's consciousness, he did not let Toneri Before a person becomes his own shape, he still needs to use Toneri with caution. The best thing to do is to use Toneri as a top-level bodyguard. Risks are kept to a minimum.

Menma has a corresponding benchmark for everyone in the village, and he still has a certain understanding of how to use it.

"Is the village safe?"

Toneri was slightly startled, and also thought of what Menma said to him before when he left the village. The Kogakure Village he now leads is indeed the gathering place for storms in the entire ninja world, with all kinds of powerful people. They are all keeping a close eye on them, and more importantly, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely do everything possible to sabotage Menma's plan.

As the only being who has seen Menma's strongest posture at present, Toneri still knows very well how fearful the person behind the scenes may be about Menma.

Not to mention what it is now after further strengthening.

Therefore, in this situation, it is very reasonable for the enemy to adopt any unconventional means.

The safety of the village is indeed the top priority.

"This does make sense. Is there any action to detect the forces of other sinners? If I don't take action, Xianglin, how are you going to arrange it? There are still two tailed beasts after all."

Shiren frowned slightly and looked at Xianglin with a hint of inquiry.

Ever since I understood Menma's true wish, I understood that Menma truly inherited the will of Hagoromo and Hamura's ancestors and wanted to build an ultimate peaceful world.

Toneri naturally regards Menma as the righteous party to which he belongs, so of course all those who oppose Menma are sinners.

This is not just about the real sinners who summon heretic demons through channeling. Those ordinary human forces who launch wars for profit and are unwilling to usher in peace are all sinners. This is easily formed in the common sense of the people. A view.

And since they are already defined as sinners.

Then we need to completely eliminate these sinners from the spiritual level and the physical level.

"Don't worry, Tonero-kun. Menma has already made arrangements for this. It is indeed difficult to defeat those Iwa ninja troops, but if we block them and wait until Menma comes back, there will be no problem. of."

After hearing Sheren's question, Xianglin said confidently.

Just some Iwa ninjas.

If you have the ability, just go out in force?

If they are worried about this and that, they don't dare to use all their strength, then what do they need to be afraid of in Guangyin Village! ?

Two tailed beast jinchūriki?

Sorry, not counting Toneri here, they also have two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, and a Muzan who is far more powerful than the One to Seven Tails.

Muzan is now able to fully master Satoru's power. Even considering the impact of the ultimate emotions in the Box of Bliss on Muzan, it is impossible to fight forever, but it is still easy for a few hours. , it won’t be the same kind of ‘Ultraman-style’ battle as before.

Thus.

The invasion of the Iwa Ninja troops is not a big problem.

"Oh? Menma has already made arrangements? There is really no need to worry. As expected of Menma, everything is under control."

Toneri also showed a look of surprise, nodded slightly, and said in a tone that seemed to be more confident than Xianglin.

Obviously he is a little older than Menma, but Toneri is convinced by Menma from the inside out. As long as it is really everything Menma arranges, Toneri feels that it is 100% reasonable and The right thing to do.

"So, Siren-kun, you will be solely responsible for the security of the village. Leave the front line to me."

Xianglin nodded slightly and said.

"Ah, if you say that, then I understand. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no enemy can cause trouble in the village!"

Sheren also nodded heavily and said.

"Ajun-san, follow the second set of preparatory plans that Menma made before. All settings are turned on. We also tell the departing troops that our intention is only to stop the enemy's progress. There is no need to fight with the enemy. Fight, on the basis of ensuring the basic safety of Ninja Village, you must also always pay attention to your own safety. Preserving your strength is the second goal. I will leave the positions on both wings to you. I will let Fu cooperate with you. I will be the main attacker in the middle. Let Mr. Wu Gu take responsibility."

Xianglin turned to look at Ajun who was also attending the meeting and said.

"Yes, Master Xianglin, please rest assured that everything has been prepared according to Master Tianying's order, and we are just waiting for the official departure!"

Ah Jun replied solemnly.

It’s not just Iwagakure.

Including Konoha, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure villages, as long as it is a ninja village with some ability in the ninja world, Menma has different plans to deal with the pressure from different forces. Different strategies.

Of course, it is impossible to be very detailed on how to do it, because even a ninja village will have different choices.

It's like the Hidden Rock Village, which seems to be under great pressure, but in fact still has some strength left. The posture that the Hidden Light Village needs to take is to judge according to different situations.

Menma just sets a direction, and the remaining details will be left to the commander on the spot to decide.

Different from before.

As the Hidden Light Village grows stronger and stronger.

Menma must learn to trust his companions and choose to delegate power, so that all resources can be reasonably allocated and adjusted to deal with all enemies.

"Very good, then pass on the order, including Wuque and Fu, and the enemy must be intercepted in the Tianxi Mountains for at least one week."

Karin slapped a position clearly marked with a red circle on the map on the table, and said loudly.

You can let the Hidden Rock Ninja in, which is a strategic retreat, but there must be a limit. After all, this is their sphere of influence. Fighting on the home front has its advantages, but there are also obvious disadvantages.

They must isolate the enemy within a certain range.

Once it is further exploded.

Their ninja village, and even the entire country, will fall into turmoil. As the saying goes, the so-called great power style and momentum of the Hikari Village are all "blown up" and supported by Menma from below, and they do not really have a very solid chassis.

They must paste such a slightly false outer layer of appearance, which cannot be punctured. Once punctured, it will explode instantly.

Not only Menma himself knows this, but also Karin, Shibuki and others below know this very well.

With the plan set by Karin, one order after another was passed down in an orderly manner, and the remaining part of the Hikari ninjas in the village also took action.

The battle in the west area has already occupied nearly half of the power of the ninja village, not to mention that Menma also drew out part of the power of the east area of ​​the ninja village. Now the number of ninjas that can be sent out to fight in the Hikari Village is less than 2,000, but seeing that the leaders are Wuque and Fu, and Ajun is dispatching in the middle, the morale of the Hikari ninjas is still very high.

Their belief in winning will not be lost to anyone.

As long as it is before the real defeat.

Just like the front line of Grass Country and River Country, if Menma did not go to support, or the support was not timely, the current West District of the Ninja Village would definitely have completely collapsed, and those who were only Grass Ninja a few months ago would definitely relapse and surrender in large numbers.

This is definitely not an exaggeration.

If the West District collapses, it will bring about a chain reaction, driving the East District into a terrible vicious circle.

At that time.

Menma really has to consider whether to choose another path again.

I can only say that fortunately Menma's judgment and support are decisive and timely enough.

Now it is Karin's turn to make a judgment for the safety of the East District of Hikari Village. The facts also prove that Menma's arrangement and Xiangling's on-the-spot judgment are wise and correct.

Almost the supporting troops left the ninja village under the central support of the Ajun, and joined Wuque and Fu, who had already left the ninja village and were stationed in important areas, preparing to resist the arrival of the Rock Ninja Army.

In the southernmost part of the Hikari Village.

It was outside the hidden passage behind the waterfall.

Jiraiya had already arrived here.

"There is indeed a barrier here, as well as corresponding sealing techniques and guards."

Jiraiya's scattered perception, the chakra fluctuations that could be clearly captured, and the pupils of this Konoha hero also revealed a hint of thought.

This was also something that could have been expected long ago.

It was an extremely strange thing that the Takigakure Village did not set up any barriers or guards on this road.

That simply did not take the safety of their own ninja village seriously.

No wonder Takigakure Village has been weakening over the years, which is reflected in all aspects of the problem.

Later, when Menma took over the entire Takigakure Village and merged the two villages, he made different adjustments and repairs to the different problems in the two ninja villages, and he must make the Hikari Village catch up with or even surpass the level of the five major ninja villages in all aspects.

Jiraiya had already investigated and prepared for this.

Originally, he thought that he could sneak in easily without Menma. Now, before he came to the vicinity of the village, he saw a large number of Hikari ninjas coming, and Jiraiya was even more delighted in his heart. The further weakening of the defense force meant that his success rate of sneaking in would become higher.

"I hope everything will go well."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and was in a completely hidden position, ensuring that those Hikari ninjas could not detect any trace of chakra.

"Summoning Technique!"

He bit his finger directly and summoned a dark green toad directly, and then the toad opened its mouth directly.

It swallowed Jiraiya in one mouthful.

He jumped directly towards the rather large waterfall and immersed himself in it. He passed through the outermost layer of the barrier without any chakra fluctuation, and Jiraiya's presence was not revealed at all.

None of the light ninjas guarding the surrounding positions noticed the toad that sneaked in quietly.

It easily broke through the outer defense line.

Not long after.

This toad went directly into the interior of the eastern area of ​​the Hidden Light Village through the secret passage under this layer of waterfall.

The toad shuttled freely in the shadows.

No one should miss it. Even if there were people or ninjas who saw this toad, no one would pay attention or doubt it, because this was just an extremely ordinary toad. Only the top-level perception ninjas could detect the extremely weak chakra breath on this toad.

The dark green toad deflected and shuttled around.

When it quietly came to a corner where few people were, the big mouth opened directly, and the next second, an arm stretched out from it. Soon, Jiraiya, who was swallowed by the toad before, reappeared.

Toad Hiding Technique.

This is the ability of this Myoboku Mountain toad, which can hide anyone in its body at will.

Jiraiya was not incapable of breaking that barrier and getting rid of those guards, but this would inevitably attract the attention of other people in the village. Even if he could hide for a while, it would definitely not last long.

Jiraiya couldn't even determine the approximate location of Naruto, so he needed time to search slowly.

So this infiltration method was the most suitable for him.

Now it seems that everything is going well and no one has discovered it.

"Very good, in this case, I should have a lot of time to search. The information from Shikaku before showed that the probability of Naruto being in the east of the village would be higher, so let's start the search from there."

Jiraiya's pupils showed a trace of determination.

"Release."

After removing the summoning technique, he was about to turn around and move directly to the east of the village.

"It turns out that someone really sneaked in. You guys are really bold."

Suddenly.

A clear voice came from behind.

Jiraiya's figure froze.

The next second.

When Jiraiya turned his head, he saw a handsome young man in white clothes with white eyes, and felt a strong chakra wave coming from the young man. Jiraiya also showed a look of shock and astonishment.

"Hyuga clan!?"
