Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Danzo is a man of his words.

When the Konoha collapse plan had just been completed and he learned that Menma had defected and left with Orochimaru, he directly ordered the people of the Root to contact Orochimaru as quickly as possible and convey his orders.

This is a completely condescending attitude.

Not to mention Orochimaru, even Orochimaru's subordinates like Kabuto Yakushi didn't buy it at all.

It’s completely normal to ignore it.

But now the situation seems to be a little different.

Naturally, Pharmacist Kabuto needs to seek the opinion of his boss.

And this still involves the problem of facial numbness. The current Kabuto Pharmacist is not yet the quasi-BOSS character in the later stages.

"Oh, you don't need to bother with him about that aspect. Just contact him through normal channels. It's impossible for that old guy to really turn against me. He still needs me."

Orochimaru smiled coldly and said with a hint of disdain.

"Well, wait a minute. Let's give him the thing we agreed on earlier. Tell him that the experiment has reached the final stage and will be completed soon."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something.

Orochimaru frowned and then continued speaking.

"Yes."

After pharmacist Dou nodded, he was about to leave.

"Also, Tsunade, continue to send more people to search, and tell me immediately if you have any news."

Even with Menma's advance disclosure of information, Orochimaru was able to identify the true method to break the Shiki Fuujin Jutsu, but that was ultimately Menma's statement alone. There was no trust between them at all. Any normal person would have needed to make more necessary preparations in advance.

His former teammate Tsunade is currently the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world. It is impossible for Orochimaru not to give it a try. Moreover, he has enough confidence to impress Tsunade.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Naturally, Kabuto Yakushi understood his master Orochimaru's plan, and he immediately nodded heavily in response.

"Uzumaki Menma, interesting, really interesting, let me see what your real intentions are and how far you can go."

There was a hint of coldness in Orochimaru's snake eyes, and he whispered in his heart.

It must be said that Orochimaru has indeed spent a lot of effort to build his own power since he defected from Konoha. This can be easily reflected in the preparation of supplies.

If a renegade ninja goes it alone, or is like Zabuza, who only has one subordinate, he has to do it himself if he wants to obtain some resources. But it is different for Orochimaru. He can't say that all resources can be obtained with just a wave of his hand, but he can get some basic materials and supplies.

The necessary items listed in the Menma Scroll.

It only took a little more than a day to complete the preparations.

After seeing these supplies, Menma became more determined in his inner thoughts.

"As expected, we still need to execute that plan, and we need to speed up our pace. Let's choose that one as our goal!! "

Menma looked at the series of special materials and some necessary materials piled up in the room, a hint of thought flashed in his pupils, and he thought silently in his heart.

Being strong yourself is one thing.

Having the necessary forces under your command is another matter.

At the very least, the collection of intelligence and supplies can become very easy.

Of course, he couldn't start from scratch like Orochimaru did, because he only had three years left!

Chapter 136 The Intention of the Experiment

Therefore, choosing a goal is a done deal.

Of course, just like the previous choices, there are only a few people that Menma can target. If we further consider some additional factors, there are only one or two options left.

Moreover, is it actually done this way?

Menma needs to be carefully considered.

The so-called plan is just a rough direction that is initially determined. Not everything has to be executed 100% according to the plan. Sometimes, the plan may not be able to keep up with the changes. Not to mention that Menma is not yet at the point where he can be easily distracted by other things, whether it is the upcoming pursuit of Konoha or some of his own problems.

It takes some time to sort out the facial numbness.

Three years is a tight time frame, but we must take every step steadily.

After obtaining the supplies and materials he wanted from Orochimaru, Menma devoted himself to his own experimental plan. He wanted to become stronger in a short period of time and achieve the level of Kage or even Super Kage. In addition to relying on the most important and basic effort of his own, he still needed some external means.

"Let's start with this aspect of research. At least we need to have a preliminary understanding and grasp of it."

From the pile of supplies and materials, take out the ones you need most.

Menma also walked to the experimental table and started his first experiment and research, which he felt was the most necessary thing to do.

because.

Even the Nine-Tails Chakra is a natural plug-in.

Before Menma's body has fully grown and is unable to adapt to the complete erosion brought by the Nine-Tails' chakra, it is difficult for him to use 100% of the Nine-Tails' power. Don't look at the later period of Naruto in the original work where he seems to be able to use the Nine-Tails' chakra easily, and even enter the so-called Nine-Tails' chakra mode by winning the tug-of-war game.

But that was something Naruto could only do after his body had gone through several rounds of training and reached its strongest level!

Otherwise, the erosion of the tailed beast's chakra would easily hurt the jinchūriki himself.

This has been mentioned several times in the original book.

Menma doesn't want to grow up step by step. He wants to shorten the process as much as possible and further develop the bloodline power of his Uzumaki clan through research on cell activation and physical strengthening.

They were able to unleash the potential of their clan earlier.

He can exert the strongest power of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the shortest time.

There is also the Bagua Seal on his body, which limits the burst of Nine-Tails' chakra to a great extent. In the absence of the 'key', Menma must find a way to solve the seal problem by himself.

Of course, this needs to be considered later. His current relationship with the Nine-Tailed Fox is not as close as in the later part of the original work.

At most, Kyuubi is just very curious about and cares about Minamata.

There is no way that the current Kyuubi could truly accept Menma, and Menma is also impossible and dares not say that he believes in Kyuubi.

Therefore, the Nine-Tails' chakra is one aspect, and Menma must also become stronger in other aspects. This is the most basic approach.

And various experiments are one of the best options.

Of course, when it comes to experiments, Menma is a novice and has no experience at all. Fortunately, he has some information and experimental data from Orochimaru, so Menma does not need to start from scratch. However, there are still problems that he needs to face.

Menma could certainly completely borrow Orochimaru's experimental data and results, and even hand over all the experimental requirements to Orochimaru. Orochimaru is an expert and can definitely produce results in the shortest time, but that is not what Menma wants.

This is not just a question of whether or not to have insurance.

Instead, Menma will be completely controlled by Orochimaru, and will never be able to improve himself in this aspect.

Menma is very ambitious.

He wanted to climb to a higher position.

To do this, he needs to work hard in many aspects.

Doing experiments alone is a necessary choice. No matter how troublesome, difficult or tiring it is, you have to persevere.

At this stage, he can only rely on himself.

Menma devoted himself to research, and in his own way, he tried to understand the data and results he obtained from Orochimaru bit by bit. These were the most basic research contents. Although there was no comparability, fortunately, Menma was a science student in his previous life. Even if he was a poor student, he had taken a lot of basic experimental courses in physics and chemistry during his student days.

I can be considered to have some experience to some extent.

Maybe?

"Can the activation of cells be so poor?"

"So this is how it needs to be mixed?"

'We can try to copy it later.'

'And...'

This is obviously the interest that has been aroused.

Menma's first experiment seemed to be much smoother than he expected.

During these few days, Karin has been staying by Menma's side. This is because she doesn't want to leave Menma, and also because Menma intends to train Karin to be his experimental assistant, just like Kabuto to Orochimaru.

Whether one has talent in this area is another matter.

Anyway, as the most orthodox bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, Karin's perception ability is obviously stronger than Menma's, if the malicious perception attached to the Nine-Tails Chakra is not counted. In some special experiments, Karin's perception ability can also play a role to varying degrees.

Especially experiments involving cells.

Xianglin will definitely provide corresponding assistance.

Moreover, at this stage, the only person Menma can trust is Karin. In future experiments, once the situation becomes bigger and bigger, Menma can't handle it alone, so an assistant will be necessary.

Of course, Karin is a little resistant to such an experiment, but she knows that this is what Menma needs, so she will not refuse. As she said before, Karin is now more afraid of being abandoned by Menma than coming into contact with something she doesn't like.

Such feelings.

The emotions towards Erzhuzi are much stronger than those in the original work.

It was also with the help of Karin that Menma's experiment went much more smoothly, until a few days later.

On a certain morning.

Orochimaru also suddenly brought Kabuto Yakushi to the outside of the house where Menma was conducting experiments.

Menma, who had already sensed the arrival of the two people's chakra, also walked to the door one step ahead.

"It looks like Orochimaru-san is planning to go out for a while?"

Looking at Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi sitting in front of him, Menma said calmly.

"Well, just as Menma-kun said, Kabuto and I need to leave for a while to look for someone. I wonder if Menma-kun is interested in going with us?"

Orochimaru said in that familiar hoarse voice.

Chapter 137 Next step

"Go out to find someone? If I'm not mistaken, Orochimaru-san should be planning to go find Tsunade-san, right?"

Menma looked at Orochimaru with a half-smile and said.

"It's true that nothing can be hidden from Menma-kun. But please don't misunderstand me, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that there are some things I need to confirm with Tsunade."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, then said with a smile.

"That's nothing. I just need to see that Orochimaru-san agrees to the terms of our deal. As for what Orochimaru-san wants to do, that's definitely Orochimaru-san's own freedom, right?"

Orochimaru's words.

Menma doesn't believe a word of it, but this is the correct thing to do.

If people like them could be trusted, it would be the biggest joke in the world.

"Haha, that's the best. So, Menma-kun, are you interested in meeting Tsunade with me? If luck is with you, my former teammate might be able to provide Menma-kun with even greater help in his research."

Orochimaru said softly, looking at Menma meaningfully.

Menma's eyes narrowed slightly, but only for a second before he smiled nonchalantly, "No, I won't go. I also need to go out for the next few days. I have some things to deal with."

"Oh? Menma-kun is going out too? Maybe it's not so appropriate at this point in time?"

Orochimaru didn't really care whether Menma went with him or not, but when he heard that Menma needed to leave the Otogakure Village temporarily, Orochimaru's expression changed slightly.

"What? Orochimaru-san, are you still going to restrict my freedom? This seems to be different from what we agreed on before, right?"

Menma's expression instantly turned cold, and his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of dangerous coldness.

He and Orochimaru were just collaborators.

In order to get Orochimaru's help, Menma doesn't mind cooperating with Orochimaru in other aspects, and even being slightly restricted to some extent at this stage is not a big problem.

But this does not mean that Menma will be at the mercy of Orochimaru in everything.

This is not just a practical need.

It is even more of a taboo that is bothering you.
