Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 533 The Beginning
Not long after.

As Menma's order was given, the large group of light ninjas stopped advancing and stationed themselves in batches according to the corresponding orders. The air combat forces in the sky scattered to perform security tasks.

Ever since the establishment of air combat forces.

Most of the reconnaissance and patrol missions fall on the air combat forces, which are easier and more comprehensive than ground forces.

Unless one has extremely strong concealment abilities, it is basically impossible to avoid the search of the air combat forces. One must know that under Menma's instructions, the new equipment produced by their Hikari Village is not limited to weapons, but also includes instruments similar to the radar in Menma's previous life. The only difference is that a certain type of perception technique has been added, allowing this type of radar to more easily capture the ninja's chakra fluctuations.

Looking down from high altitude, searching by radar.

When the two are superimposed together.

Not to mention ordinary ninjas, even those at the Kage level would not be able to break through such a layer of defense and launch a sneak attack on the Hidden Light Village's troops.

There are no other golden fingers.

Menma has to learn and apply this ability flexibly. As long as he has some ideas, he will put them into action and then test their specific effects in actual combat.

Then consider whether to promote it further.

Of course, some of them were useless, but quite a few ideas greatly enhanced the military strength of the Hikari Village.

Say something straightforward.

In the current Hikari Village, even if the power of Menma and Toneri is not taken into account, the tailed beasts have returned to their previous equal state. The power that this ninja village can unleash is at least not inferior to the original Sand Village, and it can rightfully be called the sixth major country.

All of this was caused by Menma.

This is why the ninjas of the Hikage Village (formerly Takigakure and Kusagakure) and the general public have such faith and respect for Menma, not only because of his strength, but also because of the stability and benefits that Menma brings.

Human beings are grateful and extremely pragmatic creatures.

The best example is that when Uchiha Madara left the Hidden Leaf Village, he was unable to take the Uchiha clan with him.

It is definitely not enough for a person to be strong.

You have to be able to share the cake with the people below, ideal? How much is that thing worth? ? Can it be eaten as food?
Only naive and ignorant children will ignore the reality and talk about their dreams every day.

People must have dreams and ideals. If they just live simply, then they are no different from salted fish. But it should be noted that if you can't even live, you have no qualifications to talk about so-called ideals and dreams.

In this world, ideals and dreams are luxuries for ordinary people, and leaders should understand this even more.

You want the grassroots people to recognize you and follow you.

It is not about putting forward a seemingly passionate and lofty dream slogan, but about giving them a stable life and tangible benefits before talking about other things.

Menma has really grasped this point.

Only then could he gain the support of almost everyone in the Hikari Village in such a short period of time.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Menma is, the people below him will at most obey him verbally, but may not be convinced sincerely.

Therefore, if you want to become an outstanding leader, you need to have talents in all aspects and meet all the demands of your subordinates.

"Master Menma, what do you want?"

"Lord Tianying!"

After the team had set up camp, not long after, Lu Jiu and Wu Wei, who were at the back of the team, came galloping over.

The two people who came closer to Menma also bowed and saluted at the same time.

"The Valley of the End is ahead. Since the other side wants to use courtesy before force, we should not be too rough. Sheren, just follow me. The main force here is left to you two, Wuwei-san and Shikaku-san. The main force of Konoha is at the nine o'clock position, about eighty or ninety miles away. We will mainly capture prisoners alive to avoid a major war. As for the command, you can follow Shikaku-san's wishes, Wuwei-san."

Menma said with a faint smile while looking at Wuwei and Shikaku.

With Menma's current strength, he can have a certain degree of vague perception within a hundred miles.

If you want to accurately capture the specific location of a certain person.

It is a bit embarrassing.

But Konoha's large army obviously has thousands of people.

There is so much chakra energy gathered.

It was enough for Menma to detect it relatively easily.

Wuwei and Shikaku were both stunned when they heard Menma's words, especially the latter. He had never thought that Menma would dare to give the command of a large army to himself, a quasi-high-level figure in Konohagakure a few days ago.

The leader of the jonin squad.

In a ninja village, this person is the most important person after the Kage and the elders, and is responsible for coordinating all functional agencies and departments of the entire ninja village.

At this moment, Shikaku didn't know whether to say that Menma was too careless or that Menma really believed in himself that much.

Wuwei recovered immediately after the initial surprise, lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Master Menma."

It doesn't matter what the command is.

What matters is the person who gives the order.

Not to mention that he was just following Shikaku's orders, even if Menma ordered Wuwei to transform into a tailed beast and attack the large army of Konohagakure and fight alone, Wuwei would not even blink an eye.

In the current Hikari Village, it cannot be said that everyone will die for Menma's order, but diehard members like Wuwei and Wuque will definitely not have the slightest hesitation.

They believed that the orders of their Lord Tianying were absolute.

"Lord Tianying, I..."

"Lu Jiu-san, there's no need to say more. Trust is often based on reality. Just like what I said before, I believe you will make the right choice, especially with so many companions ahead of you."

Menma chuckled and waved his hand, looking at Shikaku and speaking meaningfully.

Before he could finish his words, he was blocked. Lu Jiu took a deep breath, and a solemn expression appeared on his resolute face. He nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Lord Tianying, I understand."

If nothing unexpected happens.

The army of Konohagakure in front must include elite members of various major ninja clans, including their own Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans. Even though he left certain instructions before leaving, and also told his most trusted cousin, Nara Suzaku, the moment he heard that the two former Hokage, Hashirama and Tobirama, had reappeared in the ninja world, Shikaku clearly realized that his arrangement would definitely fail.

Not to mention that Menma personally ordered him to go to the front line, even if this was not the case, Shikaku would have applied to go to the front line himself. He couldn't just watch the people of the three clans and his other friendly ninja companions die in meaningless battle, right?

Before it was just intuition.

Now Shikaku is absolutely certain that Menma's side will definitely be the final winner.

The young man from the Hyuga clan named Toneri.

This has already brought a great psychological shock to Shikaku, not to mention Menma and the nine tailed beasts.

"Well, then, Sheren."

Menma turned his head and glanced at the empty space on his left.

"Ah, I'm available anytime, Menma."

Sheren's figure appeared and he replied with a faint smile.

"hehe."

Menma smiled. "Swoosh"

next second.

After the red light flashed.

Menma's figure disappeared from the spot.

Sheren also took a step forward and followed Menma away.

Valley of the End.

In the central part of the lake there is a huge waterfall with two huge stone statues standing on both sides, one is Uchiha Madara on the left and the other is Senju Hashirama on the right.

This was after the epic battle that year.

It was proposed by the Fire Country Daimyo of that generation and funded by the national level. It was built not only to commemorate this great war, but also to demonstrate the great power of the Ninja God of Konohagakure.

And then promote the Fire Nation's status as the world's hegemon.

It was used to warn major countries in the world. It must be said that, at least during that period, its significance and effect were very obvious.

Before the news of Hashirama Senju's actual death spread.

The Hidden Leaf Village has always been able to look down on its peers, and the Fire Nation has been able to look down on other countries. While the surrounding countries are eyeing them, it still holds the position of the most powerful country and firmly occupies the most abundant and prosperous land in the world.

And today.

it's here.

This will also be a battle that will determine the fate of ninja villages in countries around the world.

It is extremely ironic that all the national ninja villages have to pin their hopes on the first Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.

The person involved is Hashirama Senju.

The second time I came here, I was filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect there really is such a statue. Tsk tsk, Tobirama, the quality of this statue is really high. It even engraved Madara's proud posture vividly. By the way, this must have cost a lot of money and time, right?"

Hashirama stood on the top of his own stone statue, looked at the stone statue of Uchiha Madara on the opposite side, and said with a very surprised and happy expression.

To be honest, it is an amazing thing to be able to remain the same for decades and maintain your previous state of mind and personality no matter what happens.

Not much to say.

Just the betrayal by a close friend would cause a huge emotional upheaval for any normal person.

But only Senju Hashirama remains the same as before.

He didn't feel that Uchiha Madara had betrayed him, he just felt regretful that the two brothers had not been able to sit down and have a good talk.

You know, after the battle in the Valley of the End.

Even Hashirama didn't allow Tobirama to declare Madara a traitor.

The treatment of the Uchiha clan, at least before Hashirama's death, remained exactly the same as when he first joined.

This is the magnanimity of Hashirama Senju.

"Well, the statue was personally proposed by the daimyo at the time, and the best stone carving masters in the Land of Fire were recruited. The government covered all the expenses, and we in Konoha only sent some relevant personnel to assist. Since we had enough personnel, it only took three or four months to complete."

Tobirama on the right responded softly.

The terrain of the Valley of the End was not like this before. It was just a large basin. After that, it experienced the earth-shaking battle between Hashirama and Madara, and was forcibly changed by the continuous bombardment of various terrifying techniques such as Susanoo and Shin's Thousand Hands.

During that battle, Tobirama and his sister-in-law were watching from the closest position.

It must be said.

That battle brought a great shock to Tobirama.

Whether it is Madara's powerful Susanoo or his elder brother's True Thousand Hands, they are not at all a level that ordinary ninjas can reach.

Even Tobirama himself felt that he had no ability to resist.

This truly illustrates the saying that the tailed beasts are just toys in front of these two people.

For two people with such great power, changing the terrain is really a piece of cake. Originally, both Tobirama and the daimyo were only planning to carve a stone statue of Hashirama as a declaration of the winner. Later, Tobirama suddenly thought of some obsessions in his elder brother's heart, and that Uchiha Madara had indeed made considerable contributions to Konohagakure at least when Konohagakure was just established. And most importantly, Uchiha Madara had a strength that only his elder brother could match. So Tobirama proposed to carve the stone statue of Uchiha Madara together.

This is the end.

This place is called the Valley of the End.

A place that holds special significance for the Hidden Leaf Village.

Because Konoha's history here came to an end and a new life began.

Whether the battle of sixty years ago can be repeated today, only God knows.

"Eh? Was it all paid for by the daimyo? Haha, thank you so much."

Hashirama's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"If I may..."

Then I wanted to continue talking about when.

Suddenly.

Hashirama sensed that in the distance there was an extremely hot chakra aura approaching rapidly.

A subconscious pause.

The moment Tobirama saw his elder brother's face change, he realized something.

"Anika, is Uzumaki Menma here?"

Although not as perverted as Menma's.

But Hashirama's perception is also far beyond that of ordinary ninjas.

He nodded emphatically and said solemnly, "Ah, it shouldn't be surprising. It's that Menma boy. There's another chakra fluctuation next to him that's slightly weaker but equally terrifying. It should be the special Hyuga boy named Toneri who can suppress the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone."

"Only two of you are here? Is this sincerity? Or confidence?"

Tobirama frowned and began to think secretly in his heart.

Single-handedly suppress the Eight-Tails.

Tobirama himself can do it.

Hoshigaki Kisame's water escape technique is very strong, right? He is considered the top water escape technique expert in the ninja world today, but compared to Tobirama, he is still a small witch compared to a big witch. Tobirama is known as the God of Water.

His ordinary water-style techniques have a power comparable to that of an S-class forbidden technique.

It might be a little difficult to deal with the complete Nine-Tails, but there would be absolutely no problem in suppressing the Eight-Tails.
