Chapter 99: Unexpected Invitation

"Let's forget about the polite words. Orochimaru-san sent you to see me, shouldn't it just be to say hello? Just say it directly, don't waste time, this is Konoha after all."

Menma also deliberately looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a cold and impatient expression.

"Haha, it seems that Menma-kun is still impatient. My goal here is very simple, that is, on behalf of Lord Orochimaru, I invite Menma-kun to officially join our plan. I don't know what you think, Menma-kun. How is it?”

Kabuto Yakushi still looked at Menma with his fake smile.

These softly spoken words.

Menma looked calm, but actually he was shocked inside.

"Plan? What plan? With such hidden words, do you still want to play guessing games with me?"

Menma deliberately frowned and looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a very dissatisfied expression, as the bits and pieces of Nine-Tails chakra gradually emitted.

When it spreads.

Kabuto the pharmacist in the opposite position was also shocked.

"I'm rude. Just as Menma-kun said to Orochimaru-sama before, Orochimaru-sama came back this time not to reminisce with people from the past, but to come back to destroy Konoha. Menma-kun is not right. Has Konoha held a grudge for a long time? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Kabuto Yakushi looked directly into Menma's pupils and spoke word by word.

Even if it is expected.

But the moment I actually heard it from Kabuto Yakushi.

Menma still couldn't restrain the shock in his heart, and his pupils suddenly shrank subconsciously.

"What did you say? Destroy Konoha?"

Menma's eyes became sharper than ever at this moment.

"Yes, it is to destroy Konoha. This is Lord Orochimaru's true intention of returning to Konoha this time."

Kabuto the pharmacist replied with a smile.

"How about it? Menma-kun, for you, this should be something you want to do, right?"

Words of second confirmation.

It also made Menma's expression become cloudy and uncertain.

As a time traveler, Menma was certainly aware of Konoha's plan to collapse, but what he didn't know was why Orochimaru invited him?

Still at such a slightly delicate time point.

However, this doubt only occurred after a moment. Menma realized that from the moment he took the initiative to deal with Orochimaru and exposed his intention, he and Orochimaru were already on the same dangerous road. On.

It should be a natural thing for people to 'invite' themselves to participate in Konoha's collapse plan.

"Indeed, I am also very interested in destroying Konoha, but this does not mean that I look down on Orochimaru-san. Although Konoha has been declining over the years, Jiraiya and Tsunade are not in the village. , but a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. As far as I know, it has only been a little more than ten years since Orochimaru-san defected from Konoha, right? It’s enough power and power to destroy Konoha, haha, I really don’t believe it.”

Menma quickly collected his emotions, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a very obvious look of distrust.

Knowing is one thing, but how to say it is another. Menma definitely wants to test Orochimaru's true intention here.

"Haha, Menma-kun's worries are not a problem. Since Menma-kun has already fought against Orochimaru-sama in person, he should know the strength of Orochimaru-sama. Over the years, the strength of the forces under Orochimaru-sama has grown , and it will definitely exceed your expectations, Menma-kun, and the most important thing is that we have a more powerful ally, which is Sunagakure Village, which is also one of the five great ninja villages!"

"How about it? Menma-kun, this kind of combat power configuration should be enough to destroy Konoha, right?"

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and looked at Menma with a somewhat complacent look and asked.

"Sunagakure Village? That is indeed a big deal, but I still have a doubt, how will you do it then? Others don't know the background of Konoha Hidden Village. Orochimaru-san, as one of the former high-level officials, , is the direct disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and should know very well that the number of active ninjas far exceeds that of any other ninja village. Even though most of the ninjas are scattered in various garrison points across the country, or are performing tasks outside, but those who remain There are definitely thousands of ninjas in the village."

Menma's eyes looked a little aggressive at this moment as he looked at Yakushi Kabuto.

"Even with the assistance of Sunagakure Village, how many troops can Sunagakure Village send to the outskirts of Konoha Hidden Village? If the number is too small, it is meaningless. If there are too many troops, are you trying to defend the border? Do those Konoha ninjas think they are blind? Or is Orochimaru-san just launching a surprise attack on the border? "

In the Konoha Collapse Plan in the original book, there is no accurate number of how many ninjas the Sound Ninja and the Sand Ninja dispatched. In fact, there is also a big bug in it. The question is how did these Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja get around? Pass the detection of the ninjas guarding Konoha's border, and you can also sneak all the way into locations near Konoha.

Launch a surprise attack directly on the day of the Chunin Exam.

If Konoha's defense force at the border was so weak and unbearable, Konoha would have been destroyed countless times.

Although Menma himself had some speculations in his heart, here, it was the most reasonable way to put it out in the open and ask.

He needed Orochimaru's help, but again, he reached a deal with Orochimaru as a collaborator, instead of surrendering to Orochimaru and obeying his orders as his subordinate. There is the most important thing in this. Essential difference.

Of course it's okay if Orochimaru doesn't mention it, but when he proposed the Konoha collapse plan, Menma naturally wanted to question him to the end.

"Menma-kun, you are really cautious and meticulous..."

Kabuto Yakushi's expression couldn't help but froze when he heard Menma's words.

There was also a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Menma.

After all, Menma's behavior doesn't look like that of a 12-year-old boy.

"Without this caution, do you think I could survive until now? Dousang."

Menma raised his eyes and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Then it seems that we really need to let Menma-kun know more. It's very simple. We have the ability to hide the garrison at the border of Konoha and allow the Sound Ninja and Suna Ninja troops to sneak into Konoha within the designated time. In the suburbs, since we want to destroy Konoha, we must target Konoha itself. "

Kabuto Yakushi said with a slight smile.

"Of course, it is impossible to enter with a large force, but an elite force of more than a thousand people can do it. Just as Menma-kun said, Lord Orochimaru was a high-ranking official in Konoha Hidden Village. People like me are here. There are countless spies, and there are even higher-ranking beings who belong to Lord Orochimaru, and these people are all the assistants of Lord Orochimaru.”
