The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

All of this is enough to prove that the One-Tailed to the Seven-Tailed Beasts can still be suppressed with conventional power. But after all, they are tailed beasts. Without the siege of a truly elite force and the leadership of a powerful Kage-level being, it is absolutely impossible for them to be defeated by ordinary ninja forces.

And they are different from humans.

While the chakra of tailed beasts is not strictly speaking infinite, it is certainly not comparable to that of humans.

No matter how many ordinary cannon fodder ninjas come, the tailed beasts can kill them all.

Unless it's truly an endless human wave tactic, numbers aren't that significant in the face of a Tailed Beast. Kisame Hoshigaki is known as a human-shaped Tailed Beast, but that's only relative to other ninjas. When it comes to chakra, the difference is still quite obvious. If the Third Raikage had possessed Tailed Beast-level chakra, those 10,000 Iwa ninja wouldn't have been able to capture him. Or at least they would have had to pay a much heavier price, or they would have needed Onoki, Rōshi, Han, and others to work together to suppress him.

That's what makes the Tailed Beasts so terrifying.

When Ah Jun learned that his ninja village had suddenly acquired three tailed beasts, how could he not be overjoyed!?

This means that Takigakure has already acquired the initial qualifications and resources to stand up to the Five Great Ninja Villages!

But then he thought about the possibility of being questioned or even threatened with war by the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Leaf Village, and even more other ninja villages.

Ah Jun's expression immediately tensed up.

"What does it mean that Ma-kun said he needs to speed up the plan? Does it mean he needs to make some preparations?"

Ah Jun took a deep breath, stared straight at Mianma, and asked.

"Yes, it's a plan to comprehensively strengthen our village's power. Persuading Yu Gao-san to join our side is part of the plan. Next, we plan to find the Three-Tails, which has already broken away from Kirigakure's control. If we can find it successfully and persuade it to join our village, it will greatly enhance our high-end combat power. At that time, with just a few of us, we will be enough to make those ninja villages hesitate to attack us."

Mianma paused for a moment, then continued.

Four tailed beasts.

This also includes him, the strongest Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even the Fourth Raikage, a war maniac, would feel somewhat troubled and hesitant!

Several major ninja villages joined forces?

Of course, there's no problem.

But past events tell us that these ninja villages can never truly unite, even if they can eliminate all unfavorable factors this time and truly ensure that they will not attack each other.

But who should take the lead is still a very serious question.

Four tailed beasts!

The power that can be unleashed is too much for any major ninja village to handle. If, during a joint attack, someone deliberately slacks off, allowing one side to charge ahead with all their might, even if Takigakure is ultimately destroyed and Menma and the others are captured, the ninja village that charged ahead will certainly not fare much better.

Who knows, it might mean perishing together with Takigakure!

This is a very serious and realistic issue.

Let's not talk about anything else; this is a basic issue of trust. And do the five great ninja villages even have any trust among themselves?

Talking about this is a huge joke!

"Furthermore, Orochimaru is our most steadfast ally. I also reached a certain level of understanding with the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. Although that old man is clearly using us as pawns, it doesn't matter. At least it ensures that the Third Tsuchikage won't attack us while the situation is still very favorable to Iwagakure. Sunagakure suffered a heavy blow before and hasn't recovered yet. As for Kirigakure, we can leave it aside for now. Therefore, the real hostile ninja villages we need to face are Konoha and Kumogakure!"

With a calm expression, Mianma placed his hands on the table and spoke softly.

The arrangements were gradually revealed, along with some important intelligence.

The power dynamics between the opposing and friendly forces were then analyzed point by point.

It cannot be said to be 100% accurate.

However, it still has considerable reference value.

Moreover, Mianma's words are not just empty talk.

Whether it's A-Jun or She-Mu.

After hearing Menma's words, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed a little. Menma, in particular, had a slightly strange look in his eyes when he heard that the famous Orochimaru and the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure had reached a certain degree of alliance and understanding with Menma.

Because Menma is clearly just a boy who is not even 13 years old.

But the feeling he gives is that of a very reliable adult.

The impact of the visual and perceptual effects is indeed quite noticeable.

"Kumakushi Village and Konoha? Then we need to focus our defenses on the eastern part of the villages..."

Shibuki nodded, a thoughtful look on his face as he spoke.

Although Takigakure Village has weakened considerably, apart from Fu, it no longer has any particularly reliable high-end combat power.

Even Shibuki, the leader, is just an ordinary Jonin, barely even an elite Jonin. The overall quality of the ninjas in Takigakure is not particularly high, but the number is still considerable, maintaining around four thousand over the years. They may not be able to play a very strong positive role, but they can still be used as an outer control force.

"Well, the main thing is to guard against sneak attacks. During this period, we should also build as many forward reconnaissance outposts as possible. I will also lead people to set up defensive barriers in some necessary locations as a key means to block the enemy. They don't need to be very effective, but at least they should give us more time to prepare and react!"

Mianma nodded slightly and said.

In Menma's plan, he never thought of relying on the ordinary ninjas in Takigakure to fight the enemy. Firstly, because most of these Takigakure ninjas were unreliable, and secondly, because of the former reason, he did not want to see too many casualties among the Takigakure ninjas.

The village's strength can be improved gradually.

But prestige can be easily ruined overnight.

Even if a war is won, but the Takigakure ninja suffer heavy casualties, Menma can foresee that not only he, but even Shibuki, the appointed leader, will be overthrown. The same applies to the people of any world.

Leaders must bring them benefits and peace.

In war, it is not only necessary to win, but also to minimize casualties.

Given the number of ninjas in Takigakure, if the number of casualties easily exceeds a thousand, there will inevitably be complaints within the village.

That's absolutely impossible.

Therefore, in Menma's original plan, the main role of the Takigakure ninja was to serve as a scout and guard, and at most, to provide support and then join the sweeping battle. The main force was to 'protect' these Takigakure ninja to a certain extent.

It sounds a bit nonsensical.

But this is the reality that Menma needs to face.

It's very difficult, but we must overcome it.

Once exposed, as long as the first wave of attacks can be withstood, the subsequent problems are easy to handle. The game between major powers is very complex.

Want to condemn it outright?

That depends on whether you have the ability!

"Well, I'll leave this to you, Jun-san. Just arrange things according to Menma-kun's instructions."

Shemu nodded and looked at Ajun beside him.

“I understand, but is the west really undefended? We might be able to relax a bit with Iwagakure, but what about Sunagakure? It seems they've restored their alliance with Konoha, right? They're one of the Five Great Nations, after all. If there's no defense at all, we'll have a hard time reacting if Sunagakure makes a move.”

Ah Jun nodded in response, then asked with a hint of doubt.

Even if Sunagakure is weak, that's only in comparison to the Five Great Ninja Villages. Menma can certainly disregard Sunagakure, but Jun can't. The threat from the Five Great Nations is, to be honest, still a heavy burden in the eyes of ninjas from these small and medium-sized countries.

Even if there are a very few individuals who keep clamoring to surpass the five major powers, and some even arrogantly call themselves 'Shadow'!

But the more you do this, the less confident you seem.

Ah Jun wasn't that afraid of the Five Great Ninja Villages, but their basic mindset was the same.

"Don't worry, Jun-san, Sunagakure is nothing to worry about. Over the years, Sunagakure's biggest enemy has always been Iwagakure. Besides, while Sunagakure's invasion of our Takigakure isn't as far away as Kirigakure's, it's not something they can easily do. There are other countries between us and Sunagakure. Sunagakure doesn't have the confidence or the qualifications to launch a cross-border attack now. Even if they dared to do so, there are many practical limitations. Sunagakure can't send out too many forces. I have corresponding arrangements in place so that we can immediately suppress any changes!"

Mianma said with a light laugh.

If we're talking about the other three great ninja villages, then Menma is indeed one that needs to be taken seriously.

There's really no need to take Sunagakure and Kirigakure too seriously.

One is the distance issue I just mentioned.

Another issue is the current strength of the military forces of the two major ninja villages.

It's not that Menma looks down on these two major ninja villages.

How many top-tier fighters can Sunagakure and Kirigakure currently field? Gaara? Or Mei Terumi?

Just these people.

To say something arrogant.

They're not afraid of the freckles at all.

With his current strength, he could easily kill both of them.

The quality of Sand Village and Mist Village has declined significantly in recent years, and they are no longer worthy of the title of the so-called Five Great Ninja Villages.

Menma really didn't believe that these two major ninja villages would dare to cause trouble for Takigakure!

Aren't they afraid of weakening further, being completely removed from the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and even becoming the target of other ninja villages' covetousness?

Just look at the recent activities of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) and you'll know.

Despite the fact that they seem to have dispatched a certain number of troops to the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire.

But it's just for show.

According to firsthand information obtained from Orochimaru.

The number of Kirigakure ninja was less than a thousand, and there were very few Jonin leading them; it seemed like this was just a perfunctory act to deal with the situation.

The situation with Kumogakure was completely different, involving a large-scale war.

Menma could roughly guess the mindset of the Hidden Mist Village. After all, it involved their own village's Six-Tails Jinchuriki, so it wouldn't be right not to express their stance. They were definitely planning to wait until they recovered their strength and recapture the two tailed beasts. Therefore, they absolutely could not acquiesce and had to show their attitude. But that was all they could do. If it came to actually taking action, the Hidden Mist Village didn't have the confidence or ability right now.

Not to mention they even attacked Konoha Village.

Mianma understood this point very well.

"Therefore, as I said before, the only places we need to be fully vigilant against are Konoha and Kumogakure. All the preparations we need to make now are aimed at these two ninja villages."

After a slight pause, Mianma continued.

"Well, since Menma-kun has already made arrangements, that's good."

While Ah Jun wore a relieved expression, he had a strange feeling in his heart, especially when he saw his leader, Shemu, nodding in approval. Ah Jun felt a little irritated.

For no reason.

It's simply because of the current strategic arrangements and negotiations.

Menma clearly has the upper hand and control over the entire situation. It doesn't seem strange at all, but don't forget that Shibuki is the leader of the ninja village. Menma should only be qualified to offer suggestions, and the decision should be made by Shibuki.

But now it's completely changed.
