Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 585: New World Order
The forces of the five major ninja villages have been integrated.

Not to mention the other small ninja villages. Even the samurai country of Iron, which had always been neutral, and the Demon Country, which had special shrine maidens' powers, all sent personnel to express their submission to the Hikari Village as soon as they saw the situation in the ninja world clearly, and were willing to obey all the orders of Lord Menma.

This is also a matter of course.

The attitude of a neutral country has never been one that it can really decide. Everything depends on the overall world situation. In a multi-polar situation, it still has a little self-protection power. Most importantly, it has to be a force that does not have too many interests to compete for, and only then is it qualified to say it is neutral.

Now the entire ninja world has been unified.

The five great powers have all been destroyed, and these small countries still want to remain neutral? How high do they think of themselves?
That's just pure stupidity.

The current leader of the Iron Kingdom, Mifune, is obviously a man with no problems with his brain. After the news of the battle in the Valley of the End spread, Mifune had already made up his mind. The reason why he did not immediately express his surrender to ninja villages such as the Sand Village, the Hot Spring Village, and the Rain Village was because Mifune needed time to deal with the opposition within the country.

You have to know that the so-called samurai self-esteem and pride are real things, and unlike ninjas, the psychological construction takes some time at most. Most samurai are an extremely stubborn group.

In their view.

A samurai is a samurai.

A ninja is a ninja.

Even though they are now using the power called chakra, they are different beings.

The unique status of the Iron Country has lasted for more than a thousand years, and now it wants to surrender to a ninja village! ?

How is it possible to accept?

It should be said that even a leader as respected as Mifune would find it difficult to suppress the domestic opposition voices at once. However, Mifune was, after all, the legitimate samurai leader of the Iron Country. He had been in power for so many years and had cultivated a large number of confidants. After spending a certain amount of time and energy and paying a certain price in bloodshed, the result was the death of more than a hundred samurai.

Mifune finally forced a unification of opinions within the entire Iron Country, which made Mifune himself feel relieved. If it had continued to drag on, Mifune couldn't imagine how tragic the scene would be when the Hikari Village came to deal with their Iron Country problems personally.

Their Iron Nation finally managed to catch up before the last wave of frenzy arrived.

They formally expressed their submission to the Hikari Village, and Mifune himself led the team to the Hikari Village. However, at that time, Menma had not returned to the village and was still dealing with relevant issues at the Three Holy Places.

It was Karin who accepted Mifune's surrender as the representative of the Ninja Village.

Not to mention the Land of Ghosts.

This is a rare country without daimyo or other nobles ruling, and the entire country is headed by the shrine maidens.

The only person who possesses special powers is the Miko.

At this point in time, it has come to the 63rd year of the original tree.

The previous priestess of the Demon Kingdom has long died, and the current priestess is the girl named Shion who appeared in the movie version from the original work.

As long as this young priestess gives an order, the entire Demon Country will obey. Even though the people of the Demon Country actually have a special fear of this priestess, this does not conflict with their protection and obedience to Shion.

Especially those citizens of the Demon Country who were chosen as guards, they were all willing to pay the price of their lives to protect their own miko.

Therefore, when Shion directly ordered the Demon Kingdom to submit to all instructions of the Hikari Village from now on in the name of the priestess.

There was no dissenting voice within the Demon Country.

After returning to the village, Menma obtained the most accurate information from Karin at the first opportunity.

"Haha, don't worry, Lord Mifune. From now on, the warriors of the Iron Country will join the battle sequence of the Hikari Village and need to abide by the basic rules set by the Hikari Village. The rest will not change at all. I can guarantee this."

In that spacious office exclusively for Tianying.

Menma said with a smile as he looked at Mifune, who had come to the Hikari Village a few days ago and had not left since, waiting for Menma to come back.

"Yes, we, the warriors of the Iron Country, will naturally obey all the orders of Lord Tianying and abide by all the basic rules of the village. Please rest assured, Lord Tianying."

Even though Mifune was old enough to be Menma's grandfather, in this situation, Mifune was obviously very respectful and half-bowed in response.

Menma is now the undisputed number one in the ninja world.

Whether it is personal strength or status.

These are heights that others cannot reach.

In such a world, the order of superiors and subordinates is more strict and clearer.

Now Menma is the leader of all the warriors of the Iron Kingdom. When facing a leader, one should have corresponding etiquette and attitude.

"Haha, you're welcome, Mifune-san. Let's just rest in the village for the next few days. We can take our time with the follow-up matters. There's no rush."

In silence.

Menma also changed the suffix of his name to bring them closer together.

"Yes, Master Tianying."

Menma could politely show their close relationship, but Mifune still had to maintain that respectful attitude.

"Ah."

Menma has no intention of correcting this. As a country or a collective, we still need to pay attention to this aspect of the problem. It's not that Menma has any special requirements, but that in such a world, such an approach is actually conducive to the stability of social order.

It can allow a country to truly enter a peaceful stage.

Mifune also deliberately stayed where he was for a while, after seeing that Menma had no other instructions.

"Well, Master Tianying, I will be rude first."

Mifune bowed once again, and after Menma nodded, he slowly stepped back and left the office.

"He is a smart man. I heard that before coming here, he had already taken the initiative to suppress the opposition in his country. He also went against all odds and personally led the team to our Hikari Village."

Karin, who was standing next to Menma, turned her head to look at Menma after seeing Mifune leave, and said with a slightly emotional look.

Anyone who is not blind can see the overall situation.

But not everyone can make a clear decision.

Greed can blind people's hearts!
This is a true saying. How many people value interests, power and status more than their own lives!
Such a crazy person.

There are plenty of them in any world, any dimension, and any era.

It's not surprising that people like them make such stupid judgments. So, in this situation.

We really need smart people like Mifune.

Otherwise.

The Iron Kingdom will surely be flooded with blood, and Menma has zero tolerance for idiots who fail to see the situation clearly and whose minds are filled with selfishness.

"Ah, it's also thanks to the fact that there are such smart people in the ninja villages of all countries. In this way, we can save a lot of trouble and don't need to waste time. Otherwise, it will take at least a long time to wait for everything to be settled!"

Menma said with a slight nod.

The time here is not only used to eliminate the rebels, but also to take into account that they, the light ninjas, have killed too many people. If they want to stabilize the situation later, they must spend more time and energy.

And that may not be something that many people can really accept.

Their own internal problems and Menma sending the light ninjas to deal with them are two completely different things. Even though the results can be roughly the same in the latter, people are more likely to accept the former.

"Yes."

Xianglin also nodded in agreement.

The more you get involved in similar work, the more you will understand how many difficulties you will encounter.

If you are not careful, a small problem may turn into a big problem, or even lead to more small problems.

Of course, this is also because the philosophy that their Hikari Village currently believes in is to annex other ninja villages as peacefully as possible and integrate all the forces that can be united. Otherwise, if they really want to push forward violently, there is no need to consider so many complicated details.

Just doing this may make you feel good at first, but it will cause a lot of trouble later on.

Menma would rather have some trouble at the beginning than not make sure there won't be any problems with the subsequent steps.

"Then there is the Land of Demons, Menma, do you really want to go there in person? There shouldn't be any need, right? A so-called demon that can be suppressed by a miko from a small country shouldn't be that strong, right? Even if it can match ordinary tailed beasts, it would be enough to let Wuwei-san, Muku, Suigetsu and the others go there, right? If you are really worried, why not let Toneri and the others go? That should ensure that all problems are solved, right?"

Karin asked, looking at Menma with a look that didn't quite understand.

The delegation from the Demon Country arrived at the Hikari Village earlier than Mifune and his crew from the Iron Country. Surrender was naturally the most important matter, but the representative of the delegation also made an additional request, that is, the priestess from their country hoped that Menma could go there in person.

The reason was very vague.

It only talks about important matters related to the safety of the Demon Kingdom and the safety of the entire world.

Naturally, Karin and the others were confused by what they heard, and they even thought that the priestess from the Demon Country was exaggerating.

But only Menma, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the priestess did not lie to ordinary ninjas.

The ghost named Wuliang sealed by the witch is indeed an extremely terrifying existence like a demon from hell.

The undead army under the command of Wuliang does have the power to destroy the five major countries in their conventional form.

Of course, all the premises here refer to the power that is benchmarked against "conventional".

In the original work, Naruto needs to rely on the special power of the witch to directly destroy this generation of monsters.

But now Menma can use Yin Yang Escape to easily cut the monsters in half!
No evidence required.

Menma has this kind of confidence.

It was just as Karin said, the problem could be easily solved by letting one of Toneri, Sasuke or Naruto make a trip. Menma decided to make the trip himself, because the power of the monster seemed to be able to work on others.

Therefore, Menma needs to go there in person to verify it.

"Well, that ghost may not be really strong, but it has its own special features. I have some guesses that need to be verified personally, including that priestess. She seems to have a special power."

Menma said with a small smile.

"I think it's mainly because of that miko, Menma?"

Karin crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Menma with a hint of suspicion. She had a very bad guess.

There was a faint sour smell that was clearly pervasive.

Menma was startled at first, then he patted Karin's head with amusement: "Girl, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about something serious. Okay, if you're really worried, I can take you with me, right?"

Menma never expected that Karin would be jealous of a girl he had never met.

Although the Shion priestess in the original novel is indeed a rare beauty, Menma is not a "universal" person. It is even said that if Karin had not been with him all these years, the two of them might not have developed feelings beyond friendship.

Menma has always been a person who relies more on reason than emotion.

But I don’t have the time to really care about too many love matters.

"Oh? Ah? I just said it casually. I didn't think much of it."

Menma suddenly exposed his inner thoughts.

There was also a hint of sadness on Xianglin's face. She pushed her black-framed glasses a little unnaturally, looked around and talked about other things, and her eyes were wandering somewhere else.

This made Menma laugh even more.

This girl in his family.

"But we still have to postpone this matter. We can't go now. We have another more important place to go. It is estimated that the round trip may take longer. Therefore, before we set off, we still have to deal with some more important things. Xianglin, have the notes to the daimyo of various countries been sent out?"

Menma raised his eyelids slightly and said seriously.

The problems in the ninja world have been solved, so the next step is to solve the problems at the national level.

All major ninja villages have been unified.

There is no reason to keep so many countries, this is also one of the causes of war!

"Well, it has been sent out as you requested. The time is the morning of five days later."

As soon as the matter was mentioned, Xianglin immediately got into the mood, pushed up her black-framed glasses, and replied very seriously.

"However, so far, except for the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Water Trap, only the daimyos of the small countries have replied that they will definitely attend the meeting on time, but none of the daimyos of the five major countries have given a clear answer yet!"
