The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The exact number will only be known after the battlefield is cleared.

As it stands now.

The Cloud Ninja can leave smoothly.

There will definitely be no more than a thousand people.

It's even possible that this number will be further reduced, after all, the Takigakure side has an absolute advantage on the field.

In addition, during the retreat, it took a large number of Cloud Ninja to hold off Fu, Utakata, and Shibuki.

Their levels of strength are not even in the same league.

The difference is naturally significant.

The price to be paid is also predictable.

"We won! We won, Menma-kun! We defeated the Hidden Cloud Village, and it was the Fourth Raikage himself leading the Hidden Cloud Ninja army!!!"

And it was during the moment when Menma was surveying the battlefield.

Shibuki, who was in the distance, also approached quickly with a big smile on his face. Although he knew that this war would not end because of this battle, it was at least a perfect start!

The defeat of the more than 3,000 Cloud Ninja troops led by the Fourth Raikage to Takigakure is absolutely tremendous news that deserves to be celebrated!

This victory was truly enough to completely dispel the fear of the Five Great Ninja Villages among the Takigakure ninja led by Shibuki.

Confidence is built from here!

Menma's powerful defeat of the Fourth Raikage in a one-on-one situation, and his near-killing of him, were deeply etched in the eyes of Shibuki and the others.

At this moment when the battle ends.

The Takigakure ninjas who approached from the surrounding area all looked at Menma with varying degrees of recognition, respect, and even admiration.

age?

From outside the village?

No, none of that matters!

Humans are inherently pragmatic beings, not to mention ninjas who are naturally inclined to follow the strong.

Survival of the fittest!

Might makes right!

It is the only law of this world.

Menma was able to lead Takigakure to defeat Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and also decisively defeated the Fourth Raikage in a head-on duel. That alone is enough!

Their Takigakure village has been silent and desolate for far too long.

They need a strong leader like him to guide them back to the top.

"Yes, we won! This victory can also announce to the entire ninja world the powerful return of Takigakure, so that no one dares to underestimate us. If anyone still dares to invade us, the fate of Kumogakure today will be their future!"

Mianma smiled lightly and said with great confidence.

Before today.

Even though Mianma was a little uneasy, he still felt a bit anxious.

This was, after all, an elite force from Kumogakure personally led by the Fourth Raikage. If any mistakes were made, all his efforts over the past year would be wasted. Although there were backup plans, they were not the first choice.

Now we can proceed according to the established plan and win this battle smoothly.

The heavy weight that had been hanging over his face and mind was finally lifted.

It's too early to talk about achieving final victory, but the situation has clearly fallen into their hands.

Unless Konoha and Kumogakure can truly set aside all prejudices and unite in perfect harmony to launch a full-scale attack on Takigakure, they can steadily maintain control of the current situation.

Can Konoha and Kumogakure do this?

Even if Tsunade truly possessed such courage and decisiveness.

Will the other villagers in Konoha cooperate? And will Kumogakure definitely cooperate as well?

They have just suffered a major blow, with their own Raikage in a state of serious injury and unconsciousness.

A complete alliance with Konoha?

Isn't that like asking a tiger for its skin?

Therefore, this is completely impossible.

A numb face naturally makes one feel a little happier.

"So this is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure? You really did manage to capture him, Menma-kun."

Shibuki calmed his turbulent emotions and looked at Yukito, who was also tightly bound by Menma and seriously injured and unconscious. With a touch of emotion, he spoke softly.

Even though it's already in the final stages.

But Shimoki still felt like he was in a dream.

Could their Takigakure really defeat the powerful Kumogakure? And they even captured their Two-Tails Jinchuriki?

This development is something Shibuki never dared to imagine.

To be clear, even at its peak, Takigakure only had a slight chance of becoming the sixth great ninja village, and it was still below the five great ninja villages.

It would be good enough if they could barely withstand the enemy's attack.

You still dare to dream of defeating them?

This kind of development was something I never dared to imagine before today.

"Yes, it was also to cover for the Fourth Raikage. Besides, he was seriously injured by Utakata before, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to capture him so easily."

Mianma smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Yutaka-san."

The next sentence also involved turning his head to look at Yugao, who was striding closer.

"No, I still failed in my duty. I couldn't hold this guy back. Otherwise, the Fourth Raikage wouldn't have been able to escape."

Yu Gao's face was pale, and he spoke in a very weak tone.

Of the nine tailed beasts.

There isn't actually a substantial difference between the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed beasts, but just because there's no difference in the tailed beasts doesn't mean there's no difference in the jinchūriki. As the jinchūriki of Kumogakure, Yugito's combat experience and skills give him a significant advantage over Utakata.

Under normal combat conditions.

Yugito already had a slight advantage.

However, after the Tailed Beast transformation, this difference becomes almost negligible, but when Yugito deliberately fights desperately, this difference will become apparent again.

Utaka couldn't hold back the berserk Yukito.

Is the best proof.

The valiant and skilled Cloud Ninja.

This is no joke. The warlike nature is ingrained in the very bones of the Cloud Ninja, even though Yugito is a female ninja.

"Let them escape. It is indeed a bit of a pity, but we have already achieved all our tactical objectives. Not to mention, we still have such an important bargaining chip. The initiative of the situation has completely fallen into our hands!"

Mianma gently shook his head and said.

"Yes, Menma-kun is right. We have already won, and that is more important than anything else. Utakata-san doesn't need to worry too much. In battle, unexpected events are an uncontrollable factor."

Shibuki, who was sitting on one side, nodded emphatically and said.

With over two thousand Cloud Ninja either killed or captured, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki also captured, the results of this battle were already quite remarkable.

Even though the Takigakure side also paid a price—the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Takigakure ninja did indeed cause some damage to the village—it was insignificant compared to the final outcome.

"Yes, Yu Gao-san, you deserve great credit for achieving such results this time. Don't worry about it, just rest well. There will be many more opportunities to rely on you in the future!"

Mianma said with a smile.

"Ah."

Hearing Menma and Shemu's words, Yu Gao's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he silently nodded in response.

"So what should we do next? Push forward and pursue the retreating Fourth Raikage and his group? Menma-kun!"

After a slight pause, Shibuki looked at Menma with an eager expression and said.

so far.

No one really knows all of Menma's plans yet.

Although at this moment, Shiki's questioning posture seemed to place him in a subordinate position.

But let alone the fact that Shibuki himself didn't notice it, even if he had.

They wouldn't care, because Shibuki had already made a decision in his heart on that very day.

Today's victory will further solidify the idea in Shibuki's heart.

no doubt.

In Shibuki's eyes now.

Menma is the right person who will lead Takigakure to glory.

Chapter 297 What to Do Next

"No, what we need to do next is to go back and rebuild the defense line between our Takigakure and Kusagakure villages, further integrate the strength of the two villages, and achieve a level where we can easily and quickly provide support to each other, so as to resist the possible invasion of Konoha and other ninja villages."

Mianma gently shook his head and said.

"Huh?"

An unexpected answer.

Just like the proactive attack strategy proposed by Menma at the beginning, now that they have defeated the attacking force of Kumogakure, captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and severely injured the Fourth Raikage, they are instead retreating to build a defensive line?

Shibuki felt that his thought process was completely out of sync with Kamima's rhythm.
