Chapter 126 Friendship can also be a deadly means

The land of snow.

Several sleighs were traveling quickly on the snowy fields.

On the largest sleigh, the leader of Kusanagi, Koyuki Fenghua, Santao Asama, and Menma were all sitting around.

"Sir, thank you very much for your help!"

The grass ninja leader looked respectful, nodded and bowed to Menma, "I believe that with your help, we will be able to leave the country of snow safely."

And seeing that the grass ninja he hired at a huge price had such double standards, Mr. Asama was speechless.

"Where did all the arrogance towards me just go? How can you be so humble in front of this grown-up?"

All I can say is that he is worthy of being called the "grass on the wall".

𝟼𝟿Book →𝟼𝟿sʜᴜx.ɴᴇᴛ

"But to be able to make this arrogant guy so polite, even a little humble, I'm afraid the strength of this Heavenly Emperor is extraordinary."

Just when a bold idea popped into San Taifu's mind.

"Leaving the Land of Snow?"

Menma suddenly chuckled and said slowly: "I never said that I would protect you from leaving the Land of Snow."

As soon as these words came out, several people present were stunned.

"Sir, could it be that..."

The grass ninja leader came back to his senses and said in disbelief: "Do you want to help them regain the position of king?"

Although the Grass Ninja Village and the Country of Grass have always been jokingly called the grass-roots, claiming to be the sixth greatest Ninja Village is also suspected of adding gold to their own reputation.

But as a small country living in the cracks of big countries.

In order to survive the Ninja World War, their ability to obtain information is naturally not bad.

As the leader of the Grass Ninja Murakami, he naturally knows a lot of detailed information.

Among them is the mysterious organization "Red Moon" that was previously active in the ninja world.

This man who calls himself "Tianzhi Yuzhong" is one of them.

And it is extremely powerful, at least able to confront the "shadows" of the five major ninja villages.

If Amano Onaka is willing to help Asama Santaifu and others, then maybe...

Only then did the third wife remember that this adult had indeed said that when he appeared.

Instead of escaping in embarrassment like this, why not try his method?

It was just because the scene at the time was so horrifying that he reacted momentarily.

"Sir, do you really want to help us regain our position as king?"

Faced with his doubts, Menma did not respond, but turned to look at Fenghua Koyuki.

"Of course I can help His Highness Xiaoxue regain his position as the leader of the Kingdom of Snow, but..."

Menma spoke lightly and in a meaningful tone: "Any wish requires a price, and it all depends on the wishes of His Highness Koyuki."

Looking at the three-eyed cat mask, Xiaoxue subconsciously hid behind San Taifu.

However, when she heard that she could regain her position as the country's leader, her expression couldn't help but change.

But, the next second.

Fenghua Xiaoxue’s energy and spirit were sucked away

"It's impossible. You don't know the power of the storm."

Fenghua Xiaoxue suddenly said in despair: "He controls all the snow ninjas in the Snow Country. With just a few of us, there is no hope of regaining the position of leader from him."

She also wanted to take revenge on Feng Hua Rag Tao and avenge her father.

But when the storm killed her father, the psychological shadow left on her was too profound.

If nothing else happens, she may never be able to get out of the shadows in her lifetime.

at this time.

"Hmph! You know nothing about real power!"

Uchiha Izumi on the side suddenly snorted coldly, and said with a tone full of disdain: "If the snow ninjas are just like that, there is no need for the Lord to take action personally. I can kill them all by myself."

Even if he wears chakra armor, the upper limit of a snow ninja's power is just there.

With the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, one can easily kill all the snow ninjas led by Feng Hua Furumao.

"do not worry."

After the words fell, Menma appeared next to Fenghua Koyuki and gently touched her hair.

Immediately, he said in a gentle tone: "You just need to inquire a little, and you should be able to know my strength."

He didn't care about the third wife's doubts.

After all, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people without strength to judge the strength of ninjas.

Until then anyway.

They will understand naturally.

The third husband on the side secretly glanced at the grass ninja leader, trying to confirm the truth of what Menma said.

Seeing him nodding solemnly, the third wife felt a little relieved.

Tianzhi Yuzhong's proposal really moved his heart.

Before that, he just wanted to protect His Highness Xiaoxue and let her live her life peacefully outside the Kingdom of Snow.

But when circumstances permit, no minister wants to become a minister of Conglong.

And Xiaoxue felt the slightly warm palm above her head.

"Why do you want to help me?"

Fenghua Xiaoxue raised her head with a dazed look and looked at the three-eyed cat-face mask: "What do you want again?"

As soon as she said these words, the fear in her heart dissipated a lot.

She knew very well that without the intervention of strong external forces, it would be a foolish dream to take back the Kingdom of Snow.

But it is also clear that there is no free lunch in the world.

"I hope that the Kingdom of Snow can establish a close bond with Akatsuki. In the future, we, Akatsuki, will protect the Kingdom of Snow. The Kingdom of Snow will also become the starting point for us to change the ninja world."

After Menma said in a serious tone, the expressions of several people present could not help but become stunned.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this bold plan, the grass ninja leader couldn't help but gasp.

But when he noticed everyone's gaze, he subconsciously covered his mouth and shuddered.

Damn it, he knew so much information, wouldn't he be killed and silenced? !

"What are you so afraid of? I won't kill you."

Faced with the fear of the grass ninja leader, Menma glanced at him and chuckled: "But for our own safety, necessary precautions must be taken."

"……What?"

The grass ninja leader opened his mouth blankly, before he could react.

An undetectable sound of breaking wind sounded.

"Uh! Gudong"

The grass ninja leader suddenly felt something fall into his mouth and subconsciously closed his mouth.

After the swallowing action ended, the grass ninja leader came back to his senses.

Then a strong sense of fear suddenly arose in my heart.

"Wait, wait! You..."

The grass ninja leader subconsciously took a few steps back and asked with a frightened look on his face: "Did you make me eat something just now?"

He was sure that he had just swallowed a small thing.

Moreover, it was thrown by the man in front of me.

"If you are sensible, it is just a small seed."

Mianma said without joy or sorrow: "If you are not sensible, then..."

The moment the words fell.

"ah!!"

The grass ninja leader suddenly screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

Under the horrified gazes of several people, strange bulges appeared on his exposed skin.

You can see that there are some green things crawling under the skin.

Finally, it even breaks through the skin, revealing fresh green shoots.

It looks like...

A seed that absorbs nutrients takes root and sprouts in the body, and then fills the whole body.

Until the end, he broke out!

"No! My lord, my lord!"

The grass ninja leader begged for mercy with a look of horror on his face: "I, I understand! I won't tell anyone! Please believe me!!"

The things in his body are constantly absorbing his chakra, and then using it to continue to grow in his body.

But after begging for mercy, the weird pain gradually dissipated.

And looked down at the grass ninja leader who was kneeling in front of him, panting constantly.

Menma changed the topic and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the seed has penetrated into the heart, as long as you are obedient, there will be nothing abnormal."

"It can even strengthen your physical fitness."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Asama also came back to his senses.

The look in Menma's eyes also became extremely frightening.

"How could there be such a terrifying ninjutsu?!"

This is simply more painful and terrifying than killing directly! !

He held the dagger in his cuff tightly and stared at Menma, just when he was about to say something.

"You just said that you want to help me regain my position as the leader of the country, right?"

Fenghua Koyuki looked up at Menma, her eyes twinkling and said, "I accept, but I hope you don't forget your promise."

Now someone is willing to help her get revenge.

No matter what price she has to pay, it is the only life-saving straw in her hand.

"Your Highness Xiaoxue, I will personally send you to the throne."

Menma touched her hair and said in a gentle tone: "In the future, you will also be glad for today's choice."

Human beings are nothing but rough stones.

As for whether it is bright or not, it still needs to be carved.

Every choice, every willingness is a carving.

The third wife also knelt on one knee in front of Fenghua Xiaoxue: "Your Highness, you still have many subjects who support you. We will devote our lives to protect you!"

Fenghua Koyuki just glanced at San Taifu, and then looked at Menma again.

A flash of kindness and smile flashed through her slightly narrowed eyes.

"Then, I'm looking forward to that moment."

………………

At the same time, Konoha's peace was also broken by a piece of news.

The Uchiha clan, who always had a higher eye than the top, was all killed by Uchiha Itachi of the Uchiha clan.

Only one survivor named Uchiha Sasuke was left.

Konoha's top brass also issued a wanted warrant for the S-class rebel ninja Uchiha Itachi.

In response to this explosive news, the villagers of Konoha would whisper from time to time.

"A ninja clan was exterminated? Oh, Uchiha, that's okay."

"Uchiha brought it upon himself, but the remaining child is really pitiful. I heard that the murderer was his brother."

"It's really too tragic. Witnessing his brother killing his parents with his own eyes, the poor child must have collapsed."

Among these people, there are those who are having normal discussions, there are also those who are chasing rumors and spreading rumors, and there are also some people who are originally dissatisfied with Uchiha.

All kinds of weird and even outrageous comments came out.

But for the villagers, it doesn't matter whether the news is true or false.

As long as it is interesting enough, it will become a topic of conversation for them after dinner.

As for whether it will have any impact on the parties concerned...

"Sorry, I didn't expect this, but what I said is the truth, isn't it?"

They vented their dissatisfaction unscrupulously.

But he didn't realize how ugly his face was at all.

At the same time, this news was also spread out of Konoha by some people using various channels.

The Uchiha clan, which has been inherited from the Warring States Period to this day, was actually destroyed by an Uchiha clan member.

This news shocked the entire ninja world.

The other four major ninja villages also tried to use spies to test Konoha.

Cloud Hidden Village has even begun to mobilize its troops, trying to take this opportunity to attack Konoha.

But Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, suddenly appeared at the border.

Directly summoning a huge psychic beast, he suppressed the four major ninja villages that were about to move.

Although the four major ninja villages gradually calmed down, this was just a delaying tactic.

As the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has not shown up yet, and Jiraiya's power alone is not enough to deter them.

The Ninja World War is still about to break out.

………………

In the ninja school, Naruto walked into the classroom as usual.

But Naruto was so keen that he was different from usual.

Everyone, including Iruka, looked at Naruto strangely.

This made Naruto frown slightly.

mercy? ridicule? pity?

He hates the looks in these people's eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, the previous calm was restored.

When Naruto sat down in his seat, a civilian student sitting behind him suddenly came up to him.

"Naruto, did you know? The Uchiha have been exterminated!"

Hearing this, some students who had just heard the news came forward to discuss with surprise.

"Really or not, although the Uchiha clan is very arrogant, isn't it very strong? How could they be exterminated?"

"It should be true. The Uchiha clan has been sealed off. When I passed by, the smell of blood almost made me vomit."

"Oh my God, it's so scary. Then Sasuke, who has never come to school, isn't it already..."

"No, Sasuke is fine now."

Naruto, who had been silent at first, interrupted directly and said with a smile on his face: "He just needs to rest for a while, that's all."

"Hey! Is that so?"

The students, who had just felt sad about the rabbit's death and the fox's death, suddenly felt bored when they heard this.

"Wouldn't that mean only Sasuke survived?"

"I have no father and no mother. It's really pitiful."

...Is it pitiful?

"yes."

Naruto smiled and echoed, "It's really, really pitiful."

You guys are really pathetic.

Several students in the discussion did not notice the strangeness in Naruto's tone.

Ino was the only one watching Naruto silently.

When he noticed Naruto's flashing eyes, he couldn't help but froze.

"So, will Naruto be angry too?"

No.

It wasn't anger, nor anger, nor the usual smile.

That is disdain, indifference, disgust...

"Naruto, you..."

Just when Ino came to her senses and wanted to comfort Naruto.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Iruka stood on the podium. When he saw everyone looking at him, he said: "Line up and go to the training ground for actual combat training."

After that, the students in the classroom stood up one after another and walked outside with excitement.

Naruto didn't pay attention to Ino who was hesitant to speak. He stood up and followed the others without saying a word.

After a while, all the students were standing in the empty training ground.

This time the actual training session is like the previous ones, with two people playing in groups of two, and you can also directly challenge the other party.

But after Mr. Iruka read out the rules, everyone's eyes turned to Naruto.

Because in previous practical classes, Sasuke took the initiative to be Naruto's "sparing partner", pronounced "sandbag".

But Sasuke didn't come to school, so...

But he didn't wait for everyone to react.

Under their astonished gazes, Naruto stepped onto the ring alone with a steady pace.

"Iruka-sensei."

Naruto looked at Iruka and said humbly: "You know that my situation is special, so I have a proposal."

"I want to challenge all the students here."

After the words fell, the place suddenly fell into silence.

Naruto actually wants to challenge everyone by himself?

"Oh, this is really troublesome."

Shikamaru was the first to come to his senses and said feebly: "In that case, it's okay if I don't accept the challenge, right?"

"Eh?"

Ding Ci on the side also came back to his senses after hearing this, and asked with a naive expression: "Shikamaru, are you serious? You will be deducted if you do this."

Although it is true that refusal of challenges is allowed in practical classes, Teacher Iruka is likely to deduct points from practical classes, so he will not refuse under normal circumstances.

"It's really troublesome to deduct points, but it doesn't matter."

Shikamaru looked at Choji and advised: "If Choji doesn't want to be beaten, it's best not to accept the challenge."

After saying that, he looked up at Naruto with a gentle smile on the stage.

"A certain person seems to be in a bad mood today."

Rather than being deducted points, he didn't want to be someone's punching bag.

While the two were discussing in a low voice.

Others also reacted and showed different expressions.

Surprised, angry, timid, confused...

One person challenges everyone, and he can only use physical skills.

Even if the other party is Naruto, he still looks down upon him!

"Naruto, are you sure you want to do this?"

Iruka frowned and confirmed again: "You can only use taijutsu."

Since Sasuke and Naruto almost caused accidental injuries when they used ninjutsu and secret techniques to fight each other last time.

He has set a rule that "under normal circumstances, only physical techniques are allowed in practical classes."

"I'm sure, Mr. Iruka."

Looking down at the students with different expressions, Naruto smiled comfortingly: "It's been so long, and I believe the students have become much stronger."

"And I will show mercy."

When these words came out, although there was no malice in them, they also made the faces of these young and energetic children blush.

"Come on!"

One of the students was unconvinced and went directly to the ring and said: "I don't believe that there are so many of us and we can't beat you!"

"Don't cry when you get hurt later!"

With the first example, the other students looked at each other.

Finally, under the instigation of their friends, they also stood on the ring together.

Only a few people such as Hinata, Ino, and Choji were left under the ring.

Ino looked at Hinata on the side and asked in confusion: "Hinata, aren't you going either?"

She remembered that Hinata wanted to challenge Naruto once before.

But for some reason, Naruto decisively refused.

Now that the opportunity has come, why not accept the challenge?

"I, I..."

Seeing Ino actually approaching, little Hinata, who had been looking up at the ring, suddenly lowered her head.

After hesitating for a moment, she said softly: "I want a one-on-one fight, not to bully the weak with the many."

"Yes, is that so? Ahaha."

When Ino heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Say such words in a cowardly tone, there is really a strong sense of disobedience.

Just when the two were talking.

"Ah! Bastard! Why are you hitting me?!"

"No, it's not me, it's him!"

"Ah! Who is hitting my face?"

Bursts of shrill screams suddenly sounded, but they instantly turned into noisy scolding.

This strange sound instantly attracted the attention of several people in the audience.

Bang! Crack!

On the ring, Naruto was alone facing a large number of opponents, constantly dodging and maneuvering in the midst of the many punches and kicks.

The attack that was originally aimed at him was unexpectedly turned into another person in a strange way.

For a moment, the sounds of complaints, screams and scolding filled the entire ring.

At the beginning, they could barely cheer up and attack Naruto together again.

But the repeated fights made some people completely angry.

"This is the fourth time! You kid must be deliberately retaliating against me!?"

"It was obviously you who hit me first! Ah! You bit me!"

The friends who looked like brothers before actually fought like enemies.

All kinds of ugly and vicious words came out of their mouths, and the dissatisfaction hidden in daily life also broke out in an instant this time.

From the initial joint fight against Naruto, it has developed into the inexplicable fight now.

The whole process did not even take more than a minute.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Iruka, who was standing in the audience, didn't care about the accidental injuries of these classmates.

Until he heard the sound of something breaking and saw everyone's faces flushed and started to fight each other.

"Wait! Stop! Stop it!"

He reacted and shouted to stop it.

As a result, everyone was already red-eyed and didn't listen to his advice at all.

Iruka jumped onto the ring in a panic and tried to pull them apart.

But at this time, the field was in chaos.

He had just pulled a pair of people apart, and the two over there were entangled again.

Even he himself didn't know how many punches and kicks he was hit by during the pulling process.

And listening to all kinds of ugly and vicious curses in his ears, as well as those unbearable little secrets.

Iruka seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and his expression and mood became more irritable.

"Enough! You..."

Iruka just roared.

But the next moment, he felt a chill.

"Water escape·Takitsubo no Jutsu!"

Puff!

The moment Naruto's voice fell, a stream of water appeared above everyone's head.

Then it poured cold water on everyone on the ring.

The raging anger in his heart was gradually extinguished as if a basin of cold water was poured on him.

"Sorry, Iruka-sensei."

Naruto stood on the pillar of the ring and said apologetically, "I didn't expect this to happen. It's all my fault."

Everyone subconsciously followed his gaze and looked at the center of the ring.

"This..."

Seeing Iruka-sensei with a bruised and embarrassed face, they reacted.

The pain that was originally suppressed by dopamine and adrenaline suddenly surged up, making them grin and roll on the ground in pain.

And Iruka, who became a drowned chicken, gradually calmed down.

"Alas!"

Looking at the messy ring, Iruka sighed deeply.

I thought that facing the coordinated attack of everyone, Naruto would win or lose.

As a result, they didn't expect that before Naruto took action, they started fighting among themselves, and finally developed to this point.

Who can he blame in this situation?

He almost lost his mind just now.

If Naruto hadn't used water escape, it might have evolved to a more serious level.

Thinking of this, Iruka suddenly felt distressed.

"Naruto, it's not your fault, these guys are just too bad."

Iruka waved his hand and looked at the anxious crowd and said, "Look at you guys, do you still want to graduate successfully and become ninjas?"

"If you go to the battlefield, you are all companions who rely on each other. At that time, shouldn't you fight with each other first?"

"Why don't you apologize to each other quickly!"

Iruka's tone of reprimand was very harsh.

The people standing on the ring looked at each other with their classmates who had just fought.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry!"

Naruto stood aside and looked at the extremely embarrassed people.

Although his expression was a little apologetic, his eyes were neither happy nor sad.

He really hated the decadent smell of this village.

Such vicious words as having no parents would actually come out of the mouths of these children.

And it was in such an extremely innocent tone.

This made Naruto feel sick and even made him feel bad.

He was in a bad mood, so he also needed to vent.

And this was his little revenge.

Although they had bowed their heads to apologize to each other, Naruto still saw their malice towards each other from their eyes.

Just like what Menma said.

"Friendship can also be a deadly means."

But their feelings are more fragile than Naruto imagined.
