Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 377 The First Generation of Sky Shadow
The strength of a ninja village must come from the inside out.

It depends on the overall development. The original Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village seemed very powerful when they joined together, but that was as ethereal as the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. People from the ninja villages in various countries had reason to believe that all this was built on the strength of Menma alone.

As long as this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki dies or is captured by someone.

The alliance between Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village will collapse in an instant.

It will become a piece of fat meat in the mouths of the ninja villages of various countries. They can eat it however they want. Maybe the ninja villages of various countries will have to compete in the speed of action.

But now it's different.

What the people of these ninja villages saw on the faces of the people of the Hikari Village was cohesion, hope, and confidence in everything.

Once this kind of confidence and cohesion is born, it will gradually become more solid over time.

Maybe it doesn’t take too much time.

In just a few more years, ten years at most, the Hikari Village will become a truly great country!

By that time, even if Menma died accidentally in battle, the Hikari Village would still continue to survive firmly. All they needed to do was to elect a new generation of Kage. Isn't that how the five major countries came to be in the past?
Just like Menma is now to the new Hikari Village.

Do not!
It should even be said that more than 60 years ago, the first generation of Kages from each village played a more important role and influence on the newly established five major countries.

Because at that time, the five major countries truly emerged from nothing.

The Hikage Village founded by Menma was ultimately built on the foundations of the Takigakure Village and the Kusagakure Village.

But that's how it is. After the five major countries each got on the right track, even if the first generation Kage died one after another for various reasons, the five major countries are still the five major countries, an existence that cannot be shaken by the ninja villages of other countries.

The Hikari Village is undoubtedly on the same road now.

There are many smart people in the ninja villages of various countries.

They are trusted by their respective Kages, and those sent to the Hikari Village are definitely the best in their respective ninja villages.

They can naturally see what kind of impact such an evolution of the Hikari Village will have on the ninja world and on them.

Both the loess and the earth platform felt much more depressed.

Unlike Konoha, which still holds on to unrealistic fantasies, these two and the ninja village behind them are absolutely determined to take action against the Hikari Village next. The higher their cohesion, the stronger their strength.

The impact on their plans will become increasingly unfavorable.

"How can it be so fast?"

"It seems that we need to readjust our plans..."

Along the way, passing through the streets.

The representatives of the delegations from ninja villages in different countries also had different emotions.

When they arrived at the center of the festival, this was originally the most desolate place in the southwest of Takigakure Village. However, ever since Menma made the decision to merge the ninja villages, he directly ordered a large number of people to start work in this area.

A large number of buildings were constructed.

Most of them are administrative office buildings of the ninja village, and there is also a part that belongs to the living place of ordinary ninjas. In the future planning of the ninja village, Menma is determined to focus on the development of this area and redefine the layout of the ninja village.

And it is in this area, slightly to the north, that stands a newly built platform.

There is an arched door built around it, and a big word "light" is engraved on it!

Because it was built much in advance and was a conscious expansion, there is an extremely spacious square under the platform. At this moment, a large number of people have already poured into this square.

According to a rough estimate, the number of people has exceeded ten thousand.

Further away, more people were gathering.

Today is the day they welcome their true rebirth. It is an important moment when their Hikari Village is established and their Lord Tenkage succeeds to the throne.

How could the people of these ninja villages miss it! ?
They must personally participate in such a grand ceremony, and each of their faces is filled with smiles.

And in the surrounding areas of the square.

In a circular shape.

Many flat-floor or at most two-story buildings were built, and Menma intended to turn this place into a new commercial center.

In the future these will all exist as stores.

Nowadays.

It is just used as a viewing platform temporarily.

At the highest point, delegations from ninja villages of various countries were arranged. At the highest point, in the front position were naturally the four major ninja villages. On the left and right sides, in order, they were the Sand Village, the Cloud Village, the Konohagakure Village, and the Iwagakure Village.

There is no difference between the platforms where the four ninja village delegations are located.

The moment you enter the platform.

Most of the delegation members from the ninja villages of various countries opened their eyes wide and looked around. Only a few of them still had solemn expressions.

And it is also with the arrival of delegations from ninja villages of various countries.

The time for the celebration to begin also quietly arrived.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

For example, when the hour hand points to nine o'clock in the morning, a huge clock prepared in advance on the high platform on the north side will ring.

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

On all four sides.

The salutes prepared in advance also burst out one after another at this moment, accompanied by the violent roar of the falling fire.

Countless colorful ribbons fluttering in the air.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

On the high platform.

Menma, wearing a blue and white divine robe and a bamboo hat with the word "天" engraved on it, appeared at the forefront of the platform. The moment the people below saw Menma appear, they burst into endless cheers and applause.

“OO ...

"Lord Tianying!! Long live!!"

"Long live the Hidden Light Village!!!"

"First Generation Master!!"

"It's time to build our era!!"

"Hahaha!! Master Menma!!!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Lord Tianying!!!"

Almost the vast majority of the people were filled with excitement, and there were some people whose eyes were full of fanaticism. To them, Menma was like a new life, like a god.

Cheer for Menma, be loyal to Menma.

This was the only thought of the people of Hikari Village who were gathered here at the moment! ! The faces of the members of the delegation on the platforms changed slightly when they saw this scene and felt the waves of cheers from the ordinary ninjas and people of Hikari Village.

"This is the human heart!"

In the Cloud Village delegation on the second platform on the left.

A hint of solemnity also emerged in Tutai's eyes.

The next second, his gaze involuntarily shifted to the position where Menma was on the high platform.

Uzumaki Menma.

This is a name that has entered the sight of high-level ninja village leaders in various countries many years ago. For any large ninja village, the Jinchūriki is definitely one of the primary issues that the enemy country is concerned about.

The top priority for spies stationed in other countries' ninja villages to explore and confirm is the identity of the Jinchūriki.

Let’s not talk about other ninja villages for now.

The One-Tailed Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki of this generation.

The high-level officials of ninja villages in other countries can easily learn about it.

The reason is too simple.

Be it Gaara or Menma, they almost always walked openly on the streets of their respective ninja villages, and openly accepted the almost unanimous rejection of the people of Sand Village and Konohagakure Village. Especially Menma, who was scolded with words like "demon fox" every day.

Plus, Menma's red hair is much more eye-catching than Naruto's in the original work.

As long as the high-ranking officials of the major ninja villages are not fools, they can clearly judge that Menma is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of this generation of Konohagakure Village.

Because of this, Menma was able to easily enter a special list of high-level officials of ninja villages in various countries.

If given the chance, there is no way these ninja village leaders would miss the Nine-Tails.

You know, the power of the tailed beasts is not so easy to control.

There have been more or less cases of Jinchūriki going berserk and tailed beasts running rampant in ninja villages in various countries. For any ninja village, that would be a nightmare-level disaster.

For these Jinchūriki who are still in their infancy, the high-ranking officials of the ninja villages have ten thousand reasons to believe that they cannot easily grasp the power of the tailed beasts. The only question is when such an opportunity will appear.

And fate is such a coincidence.

Konoha has hidden the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki for 60 years, and has never used this ultimate weapon on the battlefield.

There were actually serious problems in the training of this generation of Jinchūriki.

You know, when the other ninja villages heard the news that Menma Uzumaki had defected from the Hidden Leaf Village, they were not sure what was going on.

Dodai knew too well the ecstasy of his own Fourth Raikage.

Defeating Konoha, suppressing the Iwagakure Village, and dominating the entire ninja world, this has been the long-cherished wish of the Hidden Cloud Village. It's just that there are always some unexpected events in every war, but in the final analysis, it is because the power of their Hidden Cloud Village is not strong enough.

At least that's what the Fourth Raikage thought.

The Hidden Cloud Village is the ninja village among the five major countries that most desires to obtain all the bloodline limits in the ninja world. They are always coveting the families in other ninja villages that possess powerful bloodline limits.

The best example is that many years ago, when they took advantage of the opportunity for peace talks and attacked the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. In order to obtain the corresponding bloodline limit, the Hidden Cloud Village would do anything to achieve it.

Therefore, when faced with the opportunity to obtain the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he could also take advantage of the period of weakness of the Hidden Leaf Village to suppress the weakness.

There was no way the Fourth Raikage could endure this.

Dodai also helped his own Fourth Raikage to come up with a series of plans for this purpose. Unfortunately, all these plans failed.

This is due to the company's own greed, which led to operational errors.

The bigger reason is the numbness!!

This young man far exceeded everyone's expectations not only in strength, but also in character and means.

Even with Tu Tai's life experience, he had to admit that he had completely misjudged him, or to be more precise, he had underestimated Menma.

Externally, it can defeat the invasions of many ninja villages in succession.

Internally, it can easily integrate the power of the two ninja villages.

By now.

Uzumaki Menma and the forces under his command have already become a powerful force.
Although there are still similar intentions, the specific plans will definitely be modified differently. This time, Dodai was ordered to come to the Hikari Village. One reason was to further ease the relationship between their Kumogakure Village and the Hikari Village to see if he could get Yukito back. The second reason was to take this opportunity to test the attitudes of other ninja villages towards the Kumogakure Village.

Although I had heard before that Konoha and Iwagakure seemed to have a secret connection, the news was too vague and difficult to verify.

The spies that the Hidden Cloud Village had placed in the two villages were not yet that powerful.

Menma was able to obtain such accurate information thanks to Orochimaru and the traitor Danzo.

Therefore, in the Hidden Cloud Village, we can only make judgments based on half guesses and half investigations.

'I still can't figure it out...'

Dodai looked at the high-spirited Menma and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

And at the same time.

The delegation from the Iwagakure Village is located on the adjacent side.

Huang Tu also sat upright, looking at Men Ma intently with a look of inquiry.

The black soil beside him showed a hint of interest.

"Is this the Uzumaki Menma? He does look pretty good, but I won't admit defeat. Old man, just wait and see. I will definitely prove that I am better than him!"

Heitu wrinkled his nose and thought confidently in his heart.

Even now.

Even Kurotsuchi acknowledged Menma's strength.

But she did not feel discouraged at all. In her opinion, the biggest reason why Menma was so strong was definitely because of the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body. She was just lagging behind for a short time, and she would definitely be able to catch up with Menma in the future.

My goal is to be the next Tsuchikage!

Different scenery seen from different angles.

The Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village are full of fear, and the Konohagakure Village is full of complicated emotions, especially for Kakashi.

Menma is also the son of his teacher.

Just like Jiraiya had a strong feeling of regret.

Kakashi also defected when Menma defected, especially after he showed his strength and most importantly, his ruthless means in the battle at the Valley of the End.

Kakashi's heart was extremely shocked.

Originally Kakashi thought everything could be salvaged.

But on that day.

Kakashi finally realized how stupid Konoha, including himself, had done. They had personally pushed the most reliable person in their own ninja village to the opposite side. What could be more tragic than this! ?

Kakashi is not a sentimental person, but he has thought more than once that if he had treated Menma with half the care he showed to Naruto in the past 12 years, would things have been different?
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Menma has now become the biggest 'nightmare' of their Hidden Leaf Village!!!
