Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 93 Kidnapping Kimimaro in front of Orochimaru
Kaguya's territory is located on the outskirts of Kirigakure.

As the strongest ninja clan in Kirigakure, the Kaguya clan's original territory was located in the very heart of the village.

But everything changed after the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, took office and inexplicably began implementing the 'Blood Mist Policy'.

The Kaguya clan were originally known for their battle maniacs and volatile tempers, frequently clashing with other ninja clans and civilian ninjas.

In the past, due to war and the power of the ninja clans, several generations of Mizukage were born into ninja clans, and commoner ninjas could only dare to be angry at the Kaguya clan but dared not speak out.

However, after the Fourth Mizukage took office, he used various pretexts to suppress the ninja clans, with the Kaguya clan, known for its volatile temper, being the first to be targeted.

After several bloody conflicts, not only were Kaguya's various powers and high-level advisor positions in the village abolished, but Yagura Karatachi also forcibly relocated Kaguya's territory to a remote edge of the village in the name of maintaining village order.

"Chief! This can't go on any longer!"

Inside the Kaguya clan's shrine, a clan meeting is being held in secret.

The Kaguya clan members, who had long been fed up with the oppressive policies of the Fourth Mizukage, were filled with righteous indignation, their peace ornaments on their foreheads twisted with anger.

"The Snow Clan has been wiped out!"

"If we continue to sit and wait for our doom, the next one might be our Kaguya clan!"

"Clan leader! Overthrow Yagura's tyranny!"

"Yes! Right now, all the major ninja clans are in a state of panic. If we, as the strongest force in Kirigakure, start a rebellion, no ninja clan will help Yagura!"

"That Yagura guy, he even betrayed his own family, he's completely abandoned by everyone!"

"Clan Chief! We support you as the Fifth Mizukage!"

Faced with the agitated members of her clan, Chief Kaguya ignited a wildfire within her!
The Fourth Mizukage's policies didn't even spare the Kyoju clan.

With the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist dead or having defected, the only usable members under Yagura Karatachi are a few Anbu ninjas like Suigetsu Hobuki.

"Ah, if I could, I would have waited for Kimimaro to grow up." The clan leader sighed deeply, thinking of the child who had been imprisoned because his bloodline limit was too powerful.

If it had been a few years later, that child would have grown up to be at least an elite Jonin or even a Kage-level fighter.

"Kimimaro?" This name indeed made many clansmen look solemn.

The Shikotsumyaku bloodline he displayed at such a young age was stronger than that of many established Jonin, but...

Kimimaro is only seven years old now. Because of his powerful bloodline, his bloodline disease is far beyond that of ordinary people. It flares up from time to time, making it impossible for him to fight or even live a normal life.

The tribesmen feared his power and trained him as a weapon.

"Even without Kimimaro, we can still succeed!" a Kaguya clansman shouted.

"Yes! Kimimaro has been ill for several days now."

"Hmph, does the mighty Kaguya clan need to wait for a little brat to grow up?"

The clansmen were discussing it animatedly.

"Chieftain! Instead of hesitating, let's act now!"

The Kaguya clan members were in a frenzy, wishing they could storm into the Mizukage Building immediately and drag Yagura off his position as Mizukage!

"Fine!" Chief Kaguya also had a fiery temper and had long been very dissatisfied with Yagura's suppression.

Since they had decided to launch a coup, the Kaguya clan had no tendency to procrastinate!

All the clansmen, their faces filled with fanaticism, surged out of the clan's territory under the command of the clan leader and elders, heading straight for the Mizukage Building. The Kaguya clan has no cowards! Only the losers rebel! Victory ends tyranny!

"Oh dear, these lunatics, they're as insane as ever." In the shadows of the high-rise, Orochimaru leaned against the window, his snake-like eyes reflecting the surging Kaguya clan below, who were rushing towards the Mizukage Building like a tidal wave.

"Have they always been like this?" Menma stood opposite Orochimaru, on the other side of the window.

He was unaware that the Kaguya clan had made a last-minute decision to rebel.

But in his view, this seemingly tactical act of launching a mass assault on the Water Shadow Building was no different from suicide.

Unless the Kaguya clan possesses Kage-level combat power and can deliver the final blow.

Otherwise, if the battle reaches a stalemate and the Kaguya clan has no allies, they will soon be besieged by other ninja clans and civilian ninjas, finding themselves in a predicament of being surrounded on all sides.

After all, no matter how badly Yagura Karatachi performed, he was still the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure.

"These lunatics have always been like this." Orochimaru recalled his encounters with these lunatics during the previous Shinobi World Wars, and he still felt a sense of dread.

Menma's only impression of the Kaguya clan was of Kaguya Kimimaro.

Moreover, in the anime, Kaguya Kimimaro is portrayed as very calm, confident, mature, composed, and unhurried.

Even when fighting against the people of Konoha, who are their enemies, he maintains a polite demeanor.

It's completely unimaginable that Kimimaro comes from a fighting family known for its madness.

This is somewhat similar to Uchiha Shisui.

"Let's go. The entire Kaguya clan will be mobilized. None of them will return tonight." Orochimaru was not optimistic about the Kaguya clan's rebellion: "I estimate that before dawn, the Mizukage will send the Anbu to clean up the old, weak, women, and children here."

Menma followed Orochimaru toward the Kaguya clan's underground prison.

"I've heard that the Kaguya clan has a genius who is only seven years old. He has shown an extremely strong Shikotsumyaku bloodline and is already close to the strength of a Jonin in the Kaguya clan." Orochimaru introduced as the two walked down the stairs.

"I know you're very interested in bloodline limit families, but I want this kid even more." Orochimaru's sinister snake eyes swept over Menma, who was following behind him.

"You won't want him." A soft, certain voice came from behind the white three-eyed fox mask.

"Oh?" Orochimaru stopped in his tracks.

The two had arrived at the dungeon of the Kaguya clan. As they walked deeper into the dungeon, they soon saw a white-haired child with dark circles under his eyes lying on the ground, trembling and struggling to breathe.

Seeing this, Orochimaru frowned as well: "A bloodline disease...?"

In the past, this would have been difficult to solve, but now...

Orochimaru was pondering what would happen if he implanted Hashirama cells or White Zetsu cells into him.

While Orochimaru was still pondering, Shura beside him had already placed his hand on the cage, and with a tremendous force, he twisted the iron bars and went inside.

Menma approached Kimimaro, who was suffering from an attack, and made eye contact with the child before placing her hand on his chest.

A surge of powerful chakra flowed into his meridians through his acupoints, warming Kimimaro's body like a hot spring.

The warmth relieved the pain in his body, allowing Kimimaro, who had been suffering from illness for several days, to slowly fall asleep.

“His body is too weak to withstand the awakening of ‘All-Killing Ash Bones’.” After Kimimaro fell asleep, Menma got up, his white three-eyed fox mask slightly turned to look at Orochimaru.
