The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

At least for now.

The desired effect of the dough is gradually taking shape.

The ninja village then settled down.

Menma's subsequent arrangements and strategies were also instilled, and the same was true in Kusagakure. Originally, the Kusagakure ninjas had almost zero recognition of Wuwei and Menma; everything was just about establishing a rule under the power of the strong.

Once there is a large external force.

Slightly tilted.

That would directly trigger a scene like an avalanche.

The alliance with Takigakure and the joint statement issued by Konoha and Kumogakure were the initial signs of wavering.

At least Takigakure has Shibuki as its rightful leader, as well as Fu, A-Jun, and others to keep things in order. Unless it's a truly certain death situation, it won't completely collapse. But Kusagakure is different.

The news spread that the Fourth Raikage had personally led his troops to the scene.

The undercurrents within Kusagakure were already surging.

Some of the former leader Shigeo Shigeo's subordinates were even plotting to take this opportunity to overthrow Mui's rule over Kusagakure.

Even Wuwei himself sensed this dangerous atmosphere.

We have always been on guard.

This is why no Grass Ninja were drawn from Menma during this conflict with the Cloud Ninja.

As things stand, these grass ninjas are almost all unstable factors and cannot be brought to the front lines, as that would immediately cause a mutiny!

They also need some encouraging news to bolster their confidence.

And the defeat of the Cloud Ninja was such news!

This news is not enough to completely win over the Grass Ninja, but it will definitely lead to their initial submission.

The strong are beyond question.

In fact, it was at the moment when Muwei received the information from Menma and, following orders, made this information public throughout the entire Kusagakure village.

After the initial ups and downs and the unbelievable.

The unrest within Kusagakure Village has also subsided considerably.

"Join up with the ninja at the front lines and build a defensive line together!"

Faced with the order given by Mui-sensei, the Grass Ninjas became much more compliant. Unlike before, when most of them were just paying lip service to non-violent non-cooperation, this time the Grass Ninjas acted wholeheartedly after the order was given.

Since from the very beginning they submitted to the power of Wuwei, Mianma, and others.

Now that Menma has proven that he possesses the strength to contend with the five great ninja villages, these people dare not say anything more.

Fear of power.

Therefore, following their hearts became their only option.

You have to understand that most of them still have their own families and friends in Kusagakure. If they could, who would want to leave their home and become a traitor?

Therefore, under the impact of this great victory, Kusagakure has further stabilized. As long as Menma can maintain this strong position, the Kusagakure ninja will definitely choose to submit to Wuwei and obey Menma's orders!

Chapter 298 News That Shocked the Ninja World

A resounding victory will bring about tremendous changes to Takigakure and Kusagakure.

The impact on the ninja world was even more unparalleled. Although the technology tree of this world went astray, it seemed to have made breakthroughs in some necessary technologies, and the ninjas also had their own special methods.

Especially when the Fourth Raikage 'deliberately' led his troops to advance ahead to the border of the Land of Waterfall, the eyes of the entire ninja world were focused on this place. Even the Sand Village and the Stone Village, which were still in a wait-and-see state, sent necessary reconnaissance personnel into this area at the appropriate time.

The news came that Menma had led the Takigakure ninja in a proactive attack.

Almost at the very moment the two sides launched their major battle.

This information was obtained by the frontline scouts in these villages.

The clash between the massive Six-Tails and Two-Tails was particularly impactful, and they immediately sent the news to their village leaders through special channels. However, the situation changed too quickly.

This was going to be a clash that was sure to be incredibly impactful.

In the eyes of those spies, the most likely outcome would be a stalemate, with a small chance that the Cloud Ninja would advance in one fell swoop.

The final result was an unexpected and overwhelming victory for the Takigakure side, which came to an end for none of them.

Of the three thousand Cloud Ninja, less than a thousand escaped.

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is suspected to have been captured, and the Fourth Raikage, A, appears to have been seriously injured and was only able to escape under the cover of his subordinates.

It should be said that the moment they learned of this intelligence...

The spies from the various ninja villages could hardly believe their ears and eyes.

But what lies before us is the stark reality.

They had witnessed the defeat of the Cloud Ninja firsthand.

Whether they believed it or not, they had to believe it. Therefore, these spies went on a frenzy in the following days, quickly transmitting the intelligence they had gathered back to their own ninja villages.

The news spread rapidly throughout the entire ninja world.

This also caused a stir in every ninja village in every country.

The first to receive the news were undoubtedly Konoha, which had also dispatched troops to advance on Takigakure, but was a day or two behind the Kumogakure forces.

In the advance force of Konoha Village, which was located a distance equivalent to the Land of Frost, far from the great battle between the two ninja villages.

The leader was Jiraiya, who had rushed to join the group after receiving a message from Tsunade, and the group consisted of nearly four thousand Konoha ninja.

There are also adjustments made to the positions of Lu Jiu and Hai Yi.

And Kakashi, Asuma, and other elite Jonin from Konoha.

The original plan was to meet up with the Cloud Village troops near the Land of Frost and then head to the Land of Waterfall together.

However, the Fourth Raikage's autocratic actions ruined this plan.

This wasn't originally a particularly big problem.

Shikaku was able to foresee that this was a move by the Fourth Raikage to seize control, and Shikaku had already suggested corresponding countermeasures to Jiraiya.

But what I didn't expect was.

It's just such a 'small problem'.

This led to such an exaggerated result.

In the Frost Country, at the Konoha front-line camp.

This was not originally Konoha's designated campsite, but the current situation forces Konoha to temporarily set up camp here.

'Take the initiative.'

The Fourth Raikage is critically injured and unconscious; the Two-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured.

'Of the three thousand Cloud Ninja, most were killed or wounded; the Cloud Ninja at the front lines have already fled back to their own country.'

The Takigakure ninja did not pursue further, but instead returned to hold their defensive line.

He was reading aloud the intelligence relayed back by the frontline scouts.

Inside the main tent of the camp.

Regardless of Jiraiya, who was sitting upright in the main seat.

Even the Jonin in the lower positions, such as Shikaku, Kakashi, Asuma, and Inoichi, all had solemn expressions.

Furthermore, Shikamaru, who had specifically requested permission from his father Nara Shikaku to come to the front lines, also wore a complicated expression.

'Is Menma really that strong now? He can even defeat the Fourth Raikage in a one-on-one fight?'

After all, they were his peers, his former classmates with whom he had studied for six years at the same ninja academy.

If only this could be accepted calmly and easily.

That would be truly bizarre.

"This is the information passed back by the frontline reconnaissance personnel. Although it has not yet been verified twice, in my opinion, this information should be true."

On the left, at the head of the table, Shikaku spoke with a solemn expression.

This operation.

It should have been a joint operation between Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure, but now not only is Kirigakure's attack force still two days away from the front line, Kumogakure has already encountered problems. If the deaths and injuries of three thousand Kumogakure are not considered a particularly serious issue...

The serious injury to the village's Kage and the loss of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki would greatly shake the stability of a ninja village.

More importantly, it was the strength the enemy displayed in this battle.

It has far exceeded the initial expectations.

Especially the swirling surface hemp.

Without any external intervention, in a pure one-on-one duel, he defeated the Fourth Raikage head-on. This level of strength is already considered top-tier in the current ninja world.

Facing such an enemy.

Judging from Shikaku's wisdom, it is necessary to further raise the strategic alert level.

We can no longer judge it by the same standards as before.

'What a terrifying little fellow...'

Beneath his seemingly calm exterior, Shikaku shook his head with deep emotion, knowing that his previous plan had already greatly overestimated Menma.

But now it seems...

Their strength still far exceeds the plan.

Most importantly, it's about this mindset and this method.

That's right!

Even though there is no evidence to prove it yet, Shikaku has a feeling that all of this was arranged by Menma, and it is definitely not the case that Menma was following Orochimaru's orders as previously believed by the outside world.

It was absolutely his own arbitrary act.
