The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Although it was perfectly clear that this guy had come with ill intentions.

However, on the surface, Menma deliberately feigned surprise as he looked at Mizuki, who was also clearly putting on a smile.

"Hehe, of course there's an urgent matter. It's about you graduates. This year's regulations are a bit special. The top ten graduates, especially the number one, will receive special treatment, such as class placement. And since some students, including Menma-kun, performed very similarly in the morning's assessment, the school, after consulting with the Hokage, added an extra assessment. Only those who pass this assessment will be considered the most outstanding graduates and will receive preferential treatment! Of course, it also depends on the candidates themselves. So, Menma-kun, would you like to participate in the assessment!?"

Mizuki looked at Menma with a big smile and said.

A statement riddled with errors.

Any experienced, intelligent adult would not be fooled by such a low-level lie.

But Shuimu seems to be 100% sure he'll eat noodles!

After all, in Shuimu's heart...

Aren't they just a bunch of clueless kids?!

As someone who had taught them for six years, Mizuki was naturally confident that Menma would believe his words!

As for whether or not I will participate?

Haha, there are young people who don't care about honor?!

Otherwise, why would this guy, Mianma-kun, strive for first place in every exam over the past six years, regardless of whether it's theory or practice?

It's just that kids are so competitive!

Shuimu isn't worried at all that Mianma won't fall into the pit.

"Top ten? And there are special rewards and benefits?"

Just as Shuimu predicted.

As he finished speaking.

Mianma's eyes lit up noticeably, and he spoke in a low voice with a hint of eagerness.

Over the past six years.

Although Mianma doesn't deliberately do that, the attitude she presents to the outside world is that she strives to be number one in every assessment.

In fact, Menma always outperformed his teammates and achieved the best results. To many outsiders, this was a way for Menma, who had a slightly introverted personality, to gain recognition from others.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt the same way.

After all, Menma had once told him in front of him that he wanted to become a great ninja.

Considering your personal circumstances as well.

Isn't this the driving force behind Menma's efforts?

Mizuki naturally assumed that Menma would definitely participate in such a special assessment, especially since he was a teacher at the Ninja Academy and, like Iruka, a respected teacher among the students over the past few years!

Mizuki had every reason to believe that Menma wouldn't doubt herself.

This guy, who can be considered a minor boss among the villains, has no idea that everything Menma is doing right now is part of his performance!

"May I ask what kind of assessment it is, Mr. Shuimu?"

Menma took a deep breath and looked at Mizuki with a serious expression, asking the question.

"Of course. The test is simple: it's one of the standard ninja missions—stealing classified information. The target is a scroll called the Scroll of Sealing, which records some of our village's more advanced ninjutsu. It's often used as a mission item and reward in the past! Your test is to obtain this mission item at the designated location within two hours!"

Shui Mu smiled slightly.

They deliberately altered some important content, and then used highly seductive language to say the same thing.

"The Book of Seals? A reward? Could it be..."

A hint of joy flashed in Mianma's eyes as he looked at Shuimu and asked.

"It's the difficult thing you were thinking about. After you successfully obtain this Book of Seals, you can also learn the techniques recorded on it. You can choose up to three. How about that? This reward is quite generous, isn't it? The ninjutsu on it are all B-rank!"

Shui Mu smiled slightly, his tone increasingly resembling that of a weasel deceiving chicks.

Top ten in the assessment!

There is also an opportunity to learn ninjutsu of rank B or higher.

'Hmph, I refuse to believe you won't fall for it now!'

Mizuki smiled broadly, secretly pleased with himself.

as predicted.

As he finished speaking,

"I agree to participate in the assessment, Ms. Shuimu. Please tell me the details of the task!"

Mianma, almost without any hesitation, looked up at Shuimu and said with a very determined expression.

"Hehe, I knew Menma-kun would participate. Here are the details of the assessment, including the location of the target item and the final assessment point. Iruka-sensei and I will be waiting for you at the assessment point. Menma-kun, good luck in your martial arts!"

Mizuki took out a pre-prepared scroll and handed it to Menma, saying this with a smile.

After Mianma confidently accepted the scroll,

He also leaped into the air.

I left the place with a feeling of great joy.

Chapter 23 The Book of Seals

And it was only after watching Shui Mu's figure gradually disappear into the deep night, completely vanishing from his perception range.

A fleeting hint of mockery flashed across Mianma's numb pupils, but it vanished in less than a second.

On the surface, Mianma still looked 'excited' and 'excited'.

Shuimu doesn't know.

Doesn't Menma know that there are still secret agents monitoring him from all sides right now?

Moreover, almost exactly a few minutes after Shuimu arrived, that faint sense of surveillance returned.

no doubt

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi monitoring himself.

Using his special telescope technique, Hiruzen Sarutobi could investigate anything within the vicinity of Konoha Village, provided he could detect a specific chakra aura.

Now is the crucial moment to get into character.

You can't laugh during the performance.

After suppressing the urge to burst into laughter, I read through the assessment details recorded in the assessment task scroll in a completely normal manner.

Menma returned to his house, changed his clothes, and equipped himself with ninja tools.

Mianma also leaped forward.

They left their house.

They hurried toward the mission location recorded in the scroll, which was the location of Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence!

Along this route.

None of the secret agents following him came out to stop him.

This is almost a done deal.

Menma's slightly tense heartstrings relaxed considerably, and Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly understood his actions.

But he didn't let anyone stop him.

This attitude speaks volumes.

Then, they went straight to the residence of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, easily climbed over the outer wall, and entered the residence.

Still, no one came out to stop him.

At this moment, Menma also dispelled the last trace of worry deep in her heart. Just like in the original work, Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately let him take the Book of Seals.

From then on, Menma boldly entered the innermost part of the mansion and, following what Mizuki had told him, went directly to the outside of Hiruzen Sarutobi's study. Logically speaking, Mizuki should not know such information.

However, Menma was too lazy to investigate the reasons behind this.

They directly and openly sneaked into Hiruzen Sarutobi's study.

Without much effort or time, they easily found the giant scroll placed in the corner.

'This is so convenient and saves me so much trouble; they just left it outside for me to get.'

Mianma smiled inwardly and shook his head.

Then he simply carried the giant scroll on his back.

With a leap, he left the mansion and flew towards the area he had agreed upon with Mizuki.

Now that we're on stage, the play will naturally continue.

Otherwise, things could get messy.

He is still under the surveillance of the Third Hokage.

Hokage Building.

In his private office.

With the help of his special crystal ball, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled faintly on his aged face after seeing Menma take away the sealing scroll.

He served as the Hokage for three or four decades, leading the ninja village.

I wouldn't dare say that I could know about every little thing happening in the village, but actions like Mizuki's, unless they've always been hidden in the shadows, would be very likely to be exposed once they're revealed, especially if they're close to someone with a special identity like Menma.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi still doesn't know this, then he's not worthy of being called Hokage.

Consider this a small compensation...

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Menma rushing forward at high speed and thought to himself.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi had another thought hidden in his heart: this was also a final little test for Ma.

Then.
