Naruto: Uzumaki Menma walks out of the infinite moon reading - Chapter 244

c239 The coup in the Hidden Mist Village

In the brightly lit laboratory, a huge floor-standing glass container was placed in the center.

The experimenters in white coats and Menma surrounded the container, watching the “fireflies”-like insects floating in the container.

The emerald green solution in the container was the essence extracted from the Greyer ore vein, which contained a lot of natural energy.

And what they have to do now is to try to apply natural energy to animals.

At this moment, the door of the laboratory opened.

The insect walked in from outside.

“Oh, you’re back from the Land of Demons so soon?”

“I completed the mission successfully.”

Chong followed Menma closely and handed him the letter in his hand: “Just as you said, the witch had anticipated our arrival and was very friendly to us.”

“But she didn’t say anything, just asked me to hand this letter to you in person, saying that you would understand as long as you read this letter.”

After that, Chong looked at the creature in the container with interest: “Bug? It feels a bit familiar. Is this a new species you cultivated?”

Menma took the letter and didn’t rush to open it for verification.

He still believed in Chong’s ability to do things.

He was cautious and careful, but decisive and sharp. He was also a very good existence among many bounty teams.

Therefore, Menma gave him the task of going to the Land of Demons.

“Didn’t you say before that the information about the Exploding Bug was leaked?”

Menma smiled and looked at the “firefly” in front of him: “This is the new type of Exploding Bug I prepared for you.”

“Compared to the previous Exploding Bug that could only absorb chakra to grow, this newly cultivated Exploding Bug uses natural energy as its energy supply, which is more concealed and practical, and will also provide convenience for you to learn fairy arts in the future.”

The Xuanyuan people are Yao, who is good at changing the nature of earth escape, Yan, who is good at changing the nature of fire escape, Miao, who is good at changing the nature of water escape, and Suo, who is good at using shadow secrets.

And Mushi, who was born in the Upper Water Stream Clan of the “Bug Envoy” of the Hidden Rock Village, now abandoned his name and past to become a bounty ninja.

Each of them was given a system of techniques by Menma.

They are not very powerful ninjas when taken out alone, but their real strength lies in cooperation.

To deal with most enemies, only four people are needed. Only when encountering a strong ninja, Mushi will use the Exploding Bug at the bottom of the box to blow the enemy to death.

The Xuanyuan clan thrived in the black market with this kind of cooperation.

Long ago, Menma used Shin’s gene fusion fluid to transform Mushi’s body into a body that can control various insects.

It has similar abilities to the Aburame clan, but its adaptability is far superior to that of the Aburame clan.

“Exploding worms” are micron-sized worms that have the unsolvable characteristics of parasitizing the human body and absorbing chakra. Even Konan and Kakuzu of the Akatsuki organization have suffered from this.

However, before using it, you need to use illusions to cover the opponent’s vision, otherwise the existence of the Exploding worms will be easily discovered.

The new type of Exploding worms does not have this disadvantage.

“Hiss, is this for me?”

Mushi’s eyes lit up and he smacked his lips: “Exploding worms that can absorb natural energy, if they face those enemies who can use fairy arts, can’t they be completely restrained?”

“And it can actually help me practice fairy arts?”

This is the first time Mushi has heard of insects that can use natural energy.

“It can be done in theory, but you still need to participate in the experiment.”

Menma also took out a scroll and handed it to Mushi, saying: “If you have time, you can go find the traces of the Tsuchigumo clan. Their clan leader, ‘The Walker of the Servants’, can use a forbidden technique called ‘Angry Sky’.”

“That forbidden technique is said to be able to store natural energy in the body. The longer the accumulation time, the greater the range of destruction. If the accumulation time is long enough, it will explode outward with itself as the center, and it can completely destroy the area with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.”

Although Mushi did not have a deep understanding of scientific research, he also knew what this forbidden technique meant.

“You mean… if I can get that forbidden technique, maybe I can develop my own Mushi Sage Mode?”

Realizing this, Mushi showed an excitement on his face that was difficult to conceal.

But after a while, he suppressed his excitement, touched his chin and said thoughtfully: “In this case, maybe we can try to accept the bounty mission.”

“Hmm? What bounty mission is it? With your strength, you still need to hesitate?”

Mush narrowed his eyes and smiled: “The mission was issued by the people of Sugino Village. Some unidentified ninjas stole the secret technique passed down from generation to generation in Sugino Village. He wants to entrust us to take back the secret technique, and the bounty is 100 million taels.”

“100 million taels? What secret technique is worth a 100 million bounty from a small ninja village?”

Menma was also a little surprised when he heard the bounty.

You know, Sarutobi Asuma, as the son of the third generation Hokage, only has a bounty of 35 million taels.

100 million taels…

Such a mission is extremely rare even in wartime. It must be an S-level mission that requires the cooperation of several senior ninjas to complete.

“It seems that the secret technique lost by Sugino Village is not a simple thing…”

“Moreover, the person who stole the secret technique of Sugino Village is suspected to be a Kumogakure ninja…”

Mushroom and Menma looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other’s eyes.

The banditry of the gangsters in Cloud Hidden Village is not a secret in the ninja world. They often go around collecting secret techniques and forbidden techniques.

Sometimes, ninjas with blood inheritance limits are even kidnapped back to Yunyin Village and used as “stallions”.

Before that guy Oya Jōen returned to the Land of Snowfall, his biggest human smuggling partner was Kumogakure.

However, on the one hand, the Ninja Village of the small country could not find any evidence to confirm the identity of the other party, and on the other hand, it was also out of awe of the “Five Rogue Countries”.

Therefore, most of the small country’s ninja villages will choose to swallow their anger, and the other four countries with dirty butts will just turn a blind eye to the practices of Kumogakure Village.

In this case, it is very likely that Kumogakure Village, which has always practiced authoritarianism, will steal the secret skills of Suginin Village.

“Then go investigate.”

Menma nodded and said meaningfully: “Since I accepted the mission, I must complete the mission even if my opponent is Raikage.”

“No problem, customers are God, this is our purpose.”

Wormheart smiled knowingly.

After that, he said goodbye to Menma and walked out of the laboratory step by step.

Stepping on the head of the Fourth Raikage made Xuanyuan Zhong famous.

Such an exciting thing made him, who had always been calm, a little excited.

………………

After the insect left, Menma stayed in the laboratory for a while and then walked back to his office.

I happened to meet Uchiha Shisui outside the office.

“My Lord, there is important information from the Shadow Guards from the Hidden Mist Village.”

The Intelligence Department of Snow Country is now in charge of Uchiha Shisui, and he reports to Menma on the important intelligence recently collected every week.

But for him to come in such a hurry, he must have attached great importance to the information about Kirigakure Village.

“I really can’t sit still.”

Menma sighed secretly in his heart and asked, “Don’t be impatient yet. Let’s go in and talk.”

After calming down the impatient Shisui first, the two of them entered the office together.

“What happened in Kirigakure Village that deserves your attention, Shisui?”

The country of water where Kirigakure Village is located is a special island country. The country is surrounded by the sea on all sides. There are also many high mountain areas inland, so it is buried in thick fog all year round.

Since the First Ninja World War, the four major ninja villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure have fought against each other. However, the Kingdom of Water lies outside the mainland and is separated from the mainland by a vast sea area, so it is lonely. The overseas Kirigakure Village did not intervene in the Ninja War.

In recent years, this Kirigakure Village, which has been shrouded in thick fog all year round, has gradually become known as the “Residence of Blood Mist”.

Moreover, because Kirigakure Village adopts a closed policy all year round, the Robin Group’s entry encountered great resistance.

Even if Koyuki Fuka, the country’s leader, personally wrote to the Daimyos of the Kingdom of Water, it only allowed the Robin Group to open a branch in the Kingdom of Water, but did not gain the right to open a branch within the Kirigakure Village.

The level of xenophobia in Kirigakure Village has exceeded Menma’s expectations.

It is not easy to place people in Kirigakure Village.

Until now, only one shadow guard who was originally from Hidden Mist Village has infiltrated it.

And all that can be obtained is relatively fragmentary information.

The only thing that is certain is that Kirigakure Village is still under the rule of the Fourth Mizukage, the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and Goju Yagura.

“Lord Lord, based on the information from the shadow guard…”

Zhisui thought for a moment and said, “Some kind of conflict has intensified within Kirigakure Village, and there is a strong smell of gunpowder between factions.”

“And a Kirigakure Jonin named Terumi Mei seems to want to launch a coup to overthrow the rule of the Fourth Mizukage.”

After a pause, Shisui continued to add: “However, this is just a guess made by the shadow guard based on fragmentary information. It is not yet certain whether it is true, so I came here to report to you.”

Although Shisui was a little unsure about this information, Menma naturally knew what the news meant.

“It seems that the transfer of power between the Fourth Mizukage and the Fifth Mizukage is at this time point.”

Menma frowned and tapped his fingers on the table.

Although this ninja village, which is isolated from other countries in the mainland, has been closed for many years, their strength as one of the five major ninja villages should not be underestimated.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Ever since the First Ninja World War, Kirigakure Village and Iwagakure of the Land of Earth fought, Kirigakure Village has been recuperating over the years. The previous Second Ninja World War had nothing like Kumogakure Village of the Kingdom of Thunder. move.

The Robin Group has never found a good way to open the markets of Water Kingdom and Kirigakure Village.

This is all related to the closed policy of Kirigakure Village.

After all, this is the land of blood mist.

After thinking for a moment, Menma also figured out the reason. His frown slowly relaxed, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

“Those old guys finally couldn’t bear it anymore.”

In recent years, Kirigakure Village has been taking an exam in which two people fight each other, and the winner graduates from the ninja school.

Although the number of ninjas has been reduced to a certain extent, the Kirigakure ninjas who managed to survive are all elites among ninjas.

Fierce, brutal, bloody…

This is the impression that most ninjas have on Kirigakure ninjas, thus creating the reputation of “the land of blood mist”.

However, this is obviously not a good thing.

Task delegation is a large source of finance for the Ninja Village.

But how many people are willing to ask a group of crazy people to help them solve their problems?

Even the bad guys in the Hidden Cloud Village have to care about the image of the village. The Hidden Mist Village has the reputation of “Blood Mist Village”, and it is obviously not easy to face and be in trouble.

Not all high-level officials like to be called “Blood Mist Village”, not to mention that the Fourth Mizukage, under the manipulation of Obito, madly slaughtered blood ninjas to vent his anger, which will inevitably lead to further conflicts.

Now the factions in the Hidden Mist Village are probably going to tear each other apart completely.

One side wants to continue to implement the policy of “Blood Mist Village”, and the other side wants to stop this unreasonable status quo immediately.

In this case, he will add more fuel to the fire pit of the Hidden Mist Village.

“Shisui”

Menma knocked on the table and looked up at Shisui: “How much do you know about Zabuza Momochi, the ‘demon’ of Kirigakure?”

Hearing this, Shisui pondered for a moment and said: “Zabuza Momochi, one of the second batch of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, the second user of the beheading sword, nicknamed the demon, is good at water escape ninjutsu and assassination, and is also well-known in the ninja world for his superb silent killing skills.”

“In the graduation exam at the age of 9, he killed all the candidates of the same class. Later, he failed to assassinate the Mizukage and escaped from Kirigakure to become a rebel ninja.”

“In my impression, he is a very cruel and ambitious man.”

It was very detailed, and it seems that he also collected information about Zabuza.

But…

“This is not enough.”

Menma, who has a partial God’s perspective, can see something deeper.

He can see some clues from the actions of Kirigakure and Zabuza.

A few years ago, Uchiha Obito controlled the Third Mizukage with illusions, and began to slaughter bloodline ninjas and implement the cruel policy of “Blood Mist Village”.

At that time, Yagura, who was a senior ninja of Kirigakure, overthrew the violent rule of the Third Mizukage with the assistance of old men such as Yuanshi and Gonbei, as well as young people such as Zabuza, Mangetsu Kizuki, and Ringo Yuyuri, and took the position of the Fourth Mizukage.

When everything was on the right track and they began to move towards a better development path than before.

All the beautiful visions ended because of the shadow play operated by Uchiha Obito.

He once again manipulated Yagura to restart the policy of Blood Mist Village, changing the ruling policy originally pursued by Yagura, and Kirigakure returned to the terrorist rule before liberation overnight.

As a supporter of the Fourth Mizukage, Zabuza Momochi can be said to have collapsed his faith.

The Fourth Mizukage he followed betrayed his faith, and everything he had done with his companions, and the blood of all the innocent companions on his hands, were all burned to ashes.

As a “demon”, Zabuza was furious and attempted to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, but was discovered before the action began.

In the end, he had no choice but to defect to the Hidden Mist Village and accumulate his strength outside.

“If I’m not mistaken, Zabuza should be in the Land of Waves now.”

Menma’s eyes flickered, and his tone was faintly excited; “Since someone wants to support Mei Terumi to sit on the position of the Fifth Mizukage, why can’t we support someone to muddy the water?”

“Someone has been closing the door and doesn’t want me to go in, so I’ll find someone who is willing to let me in and open the door for me from inside the Hidden Mist Village.”
