Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 370 Announce to the entire ninja world!

Until I came back to my senses.

Menma's figure has completely disappeared.

Naruto could only slowly lower his right hand that had just been raised.

'War? Peace? Hatred? What is right? And why...'

At this moment, Naruto fell into deep distress and confusion.

Originally Naruto thought he had found the true path to peace, but under Menma's ruthless attack, Naruto himself was at a loss. Deep down, he was very resistant to the path to peace that Menma talked about.

Can killing bring peace?

War will kill many people.

What about the hatred that follows?

These were all Naruto's reasons for objecting, but the words Menma just said were deeply imprinted in Naruto's mind, and he seemed to feel that those words made a little bit of sense?
The thought of this.

Naruto himself was shocked.

'What should I do... Dad... Mom...'

Naruto is deeply trapped in the "maze of thought" that he created for himself, and when he can get out of it depends on Naruto himself.

A conversation that Menma had not expected.

Although it brought a great shock to Naruto on the spiritual level.

But for Menma, it was just a meaningless page that could be easily turned over. After all, Menma had long ago realized that it was almost impossible for his adopted brother to be the same kind of person as him.

This is not a question of so-called choice.

Rather, it is a difference in the two people's principled cognition.

It's still a difference as huge as heaven and earth.

After getting angry at first, Menma forgot about the previous conversation. Instead of being angry, he might as well spend more time on his own experiment.

In fact, this is what Menma does.

After meeting Naruto once.

Menma made up his mind that unless it was necessary, he would not look for his stupid brother anymore and just let Muque and the others take care of Naruto.

Anyway, it's only been more than a year.

by that time.

Whether he succeeds or fails, Naruto's problem will not be a problem.

After re-adjusting your mindset.

Menma devoted himself to his career. On the one hand, he was coordinating the merger of ninja villages, and on the other hand, he was making new experimental plans based on the gains from his trip. His physical strength had reached a new limit bottleneck.

He had a hunch that if he could make a breakthrough successfully according to the planned plan this time, he would be able to achieve the original goal.

by that time.

Even if his sage body strength is still not as good as Hashirama Senju, it is definitely not much different and is at the same level!

Of course, Menma must seize the time.

He couldn't wait to reach that level!

Everything must be done in a tight rhythm and move forward quickly.

Time is also passing by quickly.

That marked the end of Konoha's 61st year.

When the New Year's bell rang, the Ninja World also ushered in a brand new year. And it was also after such a long period of preparation.

The merger of Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village has also been completed.

At this point in time.

It's not just the people of the two countries and the two villages, the entire ninja world and the ninja villages of various countries have already known that Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village are about to merge.

The daimyo, high-ranking nobles and politicians of Taki Country and Kusanagi Country also went from implicitly opposing it in the beginning, to using various means to stop it in the middle, and finally choosing to acquiesce.

As I said before, this is the world of ninja.

Might is everything.

The power is in the hands of the ninjas. No matter how high the status of the nobles is, they are just ordinary people after all. Can they really compete with the ninjas? ?
These daimyos and nobles all have to worry about angering the ninjas, because then they will simply turn the table and refuse to play.

Who will suffer the greater loss in your opinion?
Who is more unacceptable?
This is also the biggest reason why Menma mentioned before that there is no need to worry about interference factors at the national level.

And take into account strategic security issues.

From now on, the daimyos and nobles of the two countries will still have to hold their noses and allocate funds and materials to the newly established ninja villages.

The name of the new ninja village is - Hikari Village.

The first leader of the Hikari Village was Uzumaki Menma.

And it started from this moment.

From now on, all the leaders of the Hikari Village will be called Tianying.

This was a matter that was reported to the two daimyo in the name of Menma, and was also announced to the entire ninja world.

The establishment of the Ninja Village and the succession ceremony of the first Tenkage.

They will be officially held on January 1th, after the New Year. The mass invitations are also inviting high-ranking people from various governments and ninja villages to attend.

This is the naked declaration of the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world.

The Sixth Shadow Arrives!!

Governments and ninja villages of various countries also received this invitation at the beginning of the new year. No matter how these people viewed this matter, every ninja village accepted the invitation of the "Hidden Village of Light" and agreed to send special personnel to congratulate the establishment of the Hidden Village of Light and the succession ceremony of the first Ame-kage.

Oh, there is still one ninja village that won’t come.

That is the Hidden Mist Village.

Firstly, in the previous battle, Menma killed too many Mist Ninjas, including Mei Terumi, who was the most valued by the Master and the most qualified to succeed the Mizukage, and Ao, the Master's most trusted subordinate who possessed the most precious Byakugan.

It’s only been a few months now.

How could the Yuan Master send people to participate in such a ceremony! ?
Not to mention that the Hidden Mist Village has already returned to its previous semi-closed state, and not easily contacting the outside world is their standard of conduct.

Moreover, there is another hidden factor.

Obito's re-infiltration plan has been almost fully executed. After all, the Master is the most experienced person in the Hidden Mist Village. His life experience is unmatched in the entire ninja world. Although Obito's actions are secretive and cautious, and he has fully learned from previous lessons, but if he wants to control the Hidden Mist Village, he must take action.

Master Yuan is still very good at changing these subtle things.

During this period of time.

Master Yuan also quietly launched counter-reconnaissance.

They have no time to care about things in the outside world. Anyway, their Kirigakure Village is far away from the mainland and isolated by the ocean, which naturally has a geographical advantage.

It is the internal issues that are most important.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that the huge storm that will erupt in the Hidden Mist Village will soon.

Except for the Hidden Mist Village, all the remaining ninja villages sent out corresponding delegations to set out on the road to the Hidden Light Village at the appointed time.

It is worth mentioning that although the new ninja village was established.

However, the addresses of the original two ninja villages will not change for the time being, but there will be reasonable adjustments in administrative positions, personnel arrangements, and some external settings.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Kusagakure Village and Takigakure Village seem very close on the map.

But that is only compared with other ninja villages.

In fact, it would take nearly a day to travel from Kusagakure Village to Takigakure Village, traveling day and night, according to the average full speed of a ninja.

From here we can see the distance between the two ninja villages.

In the original work, Kakashi said that it would take more than three days to travel from Konoha to the Sand Village at full speed.

The ninja's moving speed is extremely fast, and they can even ignore the terrain. Therefore, it is still impossible to truly merge the two major ninja villages and establish a unified ninja village at this stage.

Or to be more precise, this thing is a huge and time-consuming project.

They need to take it slow.

The current ninja village is still the same size as before.

Just according to the original arrangement, some more strongholds and contact points were set up between the two ninja villages.

Another way is to extend the barrier.

The government hall that was previously located in the center of Takigakure Village was moved to the southwest corner of the entire ninja village, and a new building was rebuilt. Later, a series of buildings will be built with this building as the core and extending in all directions.

The same is true in Kusagakure Village.

The northeast direction will be used as the extension point.

Shorten the distance between the two ninja villages as much as possible.

To the extent of being fully integrated into a ninja village.

At this stage, the original location of Takigakure Village is still the main base of Hikari Village.

Delegations from various governments and ninja villages also headed towards the former location of Takigakure Village.

Of course, from now on, there will no longer be Takigakure Village or Kusagakure Village, but only the East District of Hikari Village and the West District of Hikari Village.

The distance between the two areas was artificially controlled by Menma to about half a day's journey, which means that the distance from the theoretical coverage area of ​​the East District of Hikari Village to the West District was shortened by half.

Even though this theoretical sphere of influence only covers one or two buildings and at most a dozen ninjas, the prototype has been established.

If there is a corresponding time.

It will take at most ten years.

Menma can completely complete the unification of the East and West districts. Once this goal is achieved, the new Hikari Village will truly become the largest ninja village in the ninja world, simply in terms of area.

After all, buildings are easy to build, but the population cannot be dealt with overnight. Therefore, with the establishment of the new ninja village, Menma directly announced several orders, including but not limited to the appointment of positions, the reorganization of ninja forces, the establishment of some necessary strongholds, and some internal policies and orders.

This also involves orders to encourage childbirth.

There is also the external recruitment policy.

Menma wants to fill his own ninja village with as many people as possible, regardless of whether it will cause other problems.

Then this is inevitable.

The promulgation of any policy has both advantages and disadvantages.

Menma had already weighed the pros and cons long ago, and had discussed with Shemu, Wuwei, Ajun, Xianglin and others in the village for a long time. The advantages outweighed the disadvantages, which meant that there was value and space for implementation. As for the subsequent issues, they were the actual situations and had been dealt with in practice.

In the 62nd year of Konoha, January 1rd, the first year of Hikari Village.

In the southwestern corner of the East District.

The newly completed government building.

In the top floor office.

Menma sat at the main seat, and below him sat Shibuki, Wuwei, Karin, Yudaka, Fu, and the important jonins from the former Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village.

This is also the first formal high-level meeting since the establishment of the Ninja Village.

The people present here are at least the heads of important departments of Hikari Village appointed by Menma.

At this moment, all these people had a solemn look on their faces and sat upright.

Obviously, for the vast majority of people present, this is the most wonderful new beginning. They all realize that their lives are about to, no, it should be said that they have already reached a different starting point. They are looking forward to the days ahead and naturally want to face it with all their strength and the most serious attitude.

Including this meeting.

Even though Menma, who sits in the main position, is only less than 14 years old, he is their serious Kage and is recognized as one of the strongest men in the entire ninja world. There are even a group of people who, not knowing whether they truly worship Menma or are deliberately praising him to death, claim in many places that Menma is likely to be the next 'Senju Hashirama/Uchiha Madara'!
But whether it is true or just hype.

The previous achievements were real.

He defeated the Fourth Raikage, captured the Two-tailed Jinchuriki, confronted Jiraiya head-on and had a certain advantage, and even defeated the Mist Ninja army by his own strength.

This is already an exaggerated existence in the ninja world.

Menma's prestige in the current ninja village is undoubtedly high.

Of course, it was fine for Shibuki, Wuwei, Karin and others, but other ordinary jonins naturally did not dare to relax at all.

I was afraid that I would leave a bad impression on Menma.

"Haha, although today's meeting is very important, there is no need for everyone to be so reserved. We are all family, so you can relax a little."

Menma, who was sitting in the main seat, could clearly see the tension among the people below, and he just smiled and said.

Although this was the first high-level meeting for the establishment of the new ninja village.

But Menma had already been the de facto leader of two ninja villages before, and his mentality had already changed.

Can be retracted and released freely.

But Menma can say this.

But the people below couldn't just listen like that.

Even Karin, Yugao, Wuwei, Shibuki and others who were not nervous at all still looked very serious, not for any other reason, but just to show respect to the 'leader'.

Therefore, Menma's words fell.

"Yes!"

Even though everyone responded at the same time, every one of them is still the same as before.

Menma could only smile helplessly.

"Xianglin, is everyone here?"

Menma glanced at the group of people below and roughly estimated their number. He felt as if there were some people missing, so he turned to look at Karin and asked.

"Except for Hayashi-san and Tsuna-san who are in charge of the defense, the rest of the people are here, Amei-sama."

Karin, who was sitting on the side, also changed her usual gentle demeanor, and straightened her body with a very serious and stern expression while looking at Menma and reported.

In Karin's own words, their relationship in private naturally did not need to be like this, but now it was a high-level meeting of the entire ninja village, and it was also the first meeting of the new ninja village that had just been established. Karin felt that the necessary rules must be made clear, and there was absolutely no room for any confusion.
