Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 378 After the Celebration
Going on stage under the attention of everyone.

While enjoying the cheers of the crowd and ordinary ninjas below, with Menma's strength, he could naturally easily sense the different emotional concerns of other delegation members.

This is also a matter of course.

Even different thoughts.

But that was still with an attitude of 'looking up'.

Menma felt a little elated in his heart, because he had only been performing his duties in a small scope before, and he had not felt it directly. But today, on such a big stage, he was receiving the attention of tens of thousands of people, and the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the distance.

And the different attentions of the ninja village delegations from various countries.

Menma is the one who truly feels what status is and what the limelight that a superior person should have.

This feeling of excitement was suppressed.

Menma stepped forward, smiled and waved to the people of his own ninja village below, which further aroused enthusiasm.

Menma also deliberately guided this emotion to be fully released.

Be it Takigakure Village or Kusagakure Village.

The people have been silent for too long, so long that some of them have become numb. They may not even be able to feel the meaning and value of being alive. However, it happened today.

They really saw hope of survival.

That is the glory of their Hidden Light Village.

And the most important thing is the future.

A warm atmosphere, a noisy vibe.

After venting for several minutes.

Menma spread his hands and pressed down with a little force. When the crowd saw this, they reacted almost instinctively. They stopped cheering at the same time and their eyes were completely focused on Menma.

Such a move.

It also made the people from the ninja village delegations such as Dodai, Shikaku, and Huangtu on the stands feel creepy.

That's the simple point.

But you can see a lot of things.

The most direct point is that Menma’s prestige is so high, it’s actually so terrifying!
"Gentlemen, today is an extremely important day for us, because today, we can completely say goodbye to the dark past. Today is the day we welcome a new life. Death and fear no longer belong to us. We can truly live in this world. This is not a so-called dream, but a fact that is actually happening. From now on, we have truly stood up. No matter where you were born, from today on, we all have a common hometown and a common belonging, that is the Hikage of Light. I, Uzumaki Menma, as the first generation of Amakage, solemnly announce here that the Hikage of Light is officially established!!!"

Gather all your strength.

The look of determination revealed.

Facing the countless people below.

Menma clenched his right fist and swung it hard, shouting loudly.

“Ohh ...

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live Lord Tianying!"

"Long live the Hidden Light Village!!"

Once again, the ultimate shouts broke out, the passionate emotions poured out clearly, and all the people in the Hikari Village became excited at this moment after listening to Menma's highly inflammatory words.

There is no fraud, nor is it a self-contained activity.

Just as our Lord Tianying said.

They have truly stood up, no longer needing to fear threats and invasions from other powers, no longer needing to feel inferior, but can speak out their own voices in broad daylight, looking at people from other countries with equal eyes, or even looking down on them!!

All of this was brought about by Lord Tianying in their family.

The atmosphere in the entire venue was pushed to another climax at this moment.

"From now on, the world will change because of us. I, Uzumaki Menma, as the first generation of Sky Shadow, promise here that I will bet everything I have to protect the supreme glory and justice that belongs to our Hikari Village!"

This is a promise made.

It is also a notice to the entire ninja world.

This is a blatant display of arrogance.

The envoys from the ninja villages of various countries can easily distinguish the confidence and strength coming from Menma!
And it is also to match this sentence.

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Boom!!!"

The cannons firing all around roared violently once again, and the ground began to shake slightly.

Compare it to the thunderous shouts that are still going on.

The Sixth Great Country and the Sixth Kage also officially stepped onto the big stage of the Ninja World at this moment!

The enthusiasm spread layer by layer, and when Menma stood on the high platform and announced the establishment of the Hikari Village and his ascension to the position of the first Tenkage, the entire Hikari Village instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

All the streets were filled with smiling people.

All the stores in the Ninja Village have launched even more exaggerated promotions.

Today has truly become the biggest celebration of the Hikari Village, and it will also be the most memorable day for the entire ninja village in the future.

The happy times continue.

Almost all the people and ordinary ninjas have to immerse themselves in such an atmosphere for at least a period of time.

But Menma and other senior executives returned to their busy and important work the moment the celebration ended.

Not much to say.

Just facing the delegations from ninja villages in different countries, Menma needs to put all his energy into it.

As I said before, the path Menma will take in the future will be a mixture of the kingly way and the domineering way!
This means that even if Menma can resort to any means necessary in many aspects, he still needs to adopt an upright strategy on some of the most critical issues of principle.

A shadow.

The supreme leader of a military group.

It cannot be too dark (this is also the biggest reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen indulged Danzo, but the Third Hokage was still a little too much, and he himself was no longer in his prime when he was old, or even as outstanding as he was in his youth.)
A leader is someone who brings hope to others.

This is applicable in any world, any dimension, and any place.

Menma is in such a situation now, he is no longer barefoot, and the path he has chosen is neither Nagato's reign of terror nor Madara's path of 'unreal dream' which is unreal even if he is not deceived.

Embark on the road to complete unification.

It is Menma's hope.

and so.

Next, he has to operate within the rules.

This is a restriction, but it also has great benefits. Menma himself sees this point very clearly. Of course, the most important prerequisite for doing so is that it does not truly endanger the core interests of Menma and the Hikari Village.

Menma's willingness to follow basic 'rules' doesn't mean he's completely pedantic.

The leader of a superpower ninja village.

It is imperative to learn to be flexible in this regard.

Double standards are not double standards.

It cannot be applied to leaders, as long as everything he does is truly for the benefit and safety of the whole, then that is the right approach.

This is also Menma's inner criterion for judgment.

After the entire celebration is over.

Menma directly convened a large-scale meeting, and the delegations from the ninja villages of various countries each sent one or two representatives to participate.

In this meeting.

Nothing was really discussed in depth.

But some words.

Some attitude.

But it had already been revealed inadvertently.

The most direct point is that from now on, under the influence of the Hikari Village, no ninja from other countries can enter the Land of Taki and the Land of Grass without the permission of the Hikari Village.

Even though this doesn't seem to have much benefit.

But you have to know that in the past this was a default privilege enjoyed only by the five major countries.

Ninjas from the five major countries can enter the territories of smaller countries at will, but only within the territories of the five major countries can ninjas from any other country enter without permission, including ninja villages from the same five major countries.

Once discovered, it would be regarded as a provocation and killed on the spot.

Now, another ninja village is to be added to the list of those who have this privilege.

That is the Hidden Light Village!

This is a display of hegemony!

As long as the ninja villages in various countries choose to acquiesce, the power status of the Hikari Village will be initially consolidated.

no doubt.

In today's situation.

As long as the Hidden Leaf Village and the Iwagakure Village do not take the lead, the establishment of the Hidden Light Village's status is a foregone conclusion. It should be said that the moment the two ninja villages were willing to send delegations, it was already a foregone conclusion.

Otherwise, they should have rejected the invitation of the Hikari Village in a strong manner from the beginning and directly announced the "illegal status" of the Hikari Village to the entire ninja world.

Failure to do so would be an act of admission.

Now at the meeting, it is just a procedural confirmation.

The only difference from other major countries is that the actual control area is smaller.

After all, Taki Country and Kusanagi Country are not considered big countries.

The range of the Hikari Village's influence is limited to these two countries.

It can be predicted that in the future the two countries will be surrounded by heavy troops from various ninja villages, and their status as great powers will be established?
This is just the beginning.

In normal order.

At least they have to endure another fight from a big country, or a series of battles. They don't have to win, but as long as they can escape unscathed, then the status of Hikari Village as a big country will be truly established.

But that’s all for another day.

Now is undoubtedly the glorious moment for the Hikari Village.

not to mention.

Those are just the general order, not to mention that under the shadow, the Akatsuki organization led by Obito and Nagato is already ready to make a move.

Even if we only look at Menma himself, he will never quietly enter the "farming mode". You have to know that his goal is the real "sea of ​​stars"!!!

This meeting, which brought together many diplomatic missions, did not last very long.

And basically they are just talking some meaningless nonsense.

But the interests of the ninja village were determined in such a meeting. All that was left was to wait until the ninja delegations from various countries returned to their respective villages and did not cause any disturbances for a period of time.

Then everything is completely settled.

The Sand Village doesn't care, and the Mist Village didn't participate.

The Hidden Cloud Village has ulterior motives and is currently unable to participate in the affairs of the ninja world.

The objects to look at are Konoha and Iwagakure.

During the meeting, the envoys from other small countries' ninja villages frequently looked at the envoys from the two villages.

But whether it was Huangtu or Shikaku, they both remained calm, which made these small countries and ninja villages deeply disappointed.

This seems to be a very contradictory mentality.

In fact, it is the best way for these small country ninja villages to survive.

They don't want to see frequent wars, but they also don't want to see the rise of a big country, because the ninja world is so small.

The original five major countries are already squeezing them to the point of suffocation, and now they have to add the Hidden Light Village to the mix.

These small ninja villages can fully foresee even more miserable days in the future.

Especially those countries close to the Land of Water Trap and the Land of Grass.

They are already starting to tremble with fear.

God knows what kind of terrible behemoth this is?

At the moment the meeting ended, the envoys from the four major ninja villages were still calm, but the envoys from the small countries' ninja villages all had worried expressions when they left.

"It seems that what you said is right. Menma, Konoha, and Iwagakure all have their own intentions. They didn't even raise any opinions..."

This was also after the delegations from the ninja villages of various countries left one after another.

In the main seat of the spacious conference room.

Karin stood on the left side of Menma and spoke with a serious look.

In addition to declaring sovereignty, this meeting was also an additional test of several major ninja villages.

Although it is obvious that the envoys from the ninja village will not leave easily after the celebration, Menma and others still hope to find out their initial intentions as soon as possible.

Especially Konoha and Iwagakure Village.

The configuration of the delegation members is already outrageous, not to mention whether there is anything hidden in other aspects.

And after the first round of trials.

It can be preliminarily determined that their initial judgment was correct.

In the four major ninja villages.

Only the Sand Village is truly innocent, without any other intentions. They just come here to smooth things over and plan to leave.

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, if nothing unexpected happens, the purpose is quite clear.

It’s hard to say about Konoha and Iwagakure.

"Well, at the moment, it is indeed the case, but it may not be what I thought. After all, the initiative is still in our hands, so there is no need to be too anxious."

Menma said as he let out a breath.

"So what we have to do next is wait for their actions?"

Karin blinked and asked softly.

"Yes, we don't need to do anything more. We just need to watch their performance quietly. The security of the village will follow the previous standards. There is no need for any unnecessary restrictions. In the next few days, we will see who will act first."

Menma bent his right index finger, tapped the table lightly, and said with a smile.
