The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Sit down and have a proper talk? To form a country and a ninja village together? Naruto, who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? Do you know what a country and a ninja village mean? Asking them all to give up and voluntarily merge? You should know now that I'm working on merging Takigakure and Kusagakure, right? That's only possible because I'm already the de facto ruler of both villages. But what about other ninja villages? What right do you have to ask the daimyo of those countries to give up their status and power? To ask the Kage to give up their identities? And even abandon the name of their own village? On what grounds?! Just because of your words?!"

Menma looked at Naruto with a cold gaze and said, word by word.

"Me? But this is for world peace. I think the people of all the ninja villages will understand..."

Naruto said, sounding somewhat anxious.

"Yes, the common people will understand, but what about those in high positions? Do you really not understand, or are you naive enough to think that so-called peace can persuade them to give up their status and power? Unless it's a merger with them as the main players, they won't accept it. But there can only be one main player. Don't tell me I could never relinquish control. Even if I could, who do you think I could give it to? Which ninja village can definitely gain the recognition of all countries and ninja villages?! Naruto, use your brain and think about this carefully!!"

it is ridiculous!

If humans were truly the kind of beings who could give up everything else for peace, then so-called conflicts would be impossible.

Humans are, in many ways, still selfish creatures.

"But...but..."

Menma's stern words deeply pierced Naruto's heart. His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He seemed to understand what Mianma meant.

But then again, it doesn't seem that exaggerated.

Isn't peace something everyone strives for?

Then other things shouldn't matter, or rather, nothing should be more important than peace, right? This also aligns with what Grandpa Jiraiya said about a world where people understand each other, just like what the First Hokage did, right?

Did I misunderstand?

Naruto looked at Menma with a bewildered expression.

Meeting that gaze.

Menma was also taken aback. Suddenly, Menma realized that Naruto was only 13 years old, in the true sense of the word.

In Menma's previous generation's world, this age was considered...

He's just a junior high school student.

How mature can one's worldview, outlook on life, and values ​​be?

This is a distorted world. The peaceful world that the First Hokage longed for—a world where children don't have to go to the front lines—is just an illusion.

Let's not even talk about Naruto.

Killing is not an exaggeration in this world.

Furthermore, in Menma's previous life, he had also heard of children killing people. It wasn't an isolated case. Just like the ninjas in this world, there were so-called 'Boy Scouts' in some place in that world.

This reminded Mianma of a saying from his past life: they were not born in a peaceful era, but simply because they lived in a powerful and peaceful country.

It's normal that Naruto can't understand it.

What could a child possibly understand?

Mianma gave a slightly self-deprecating laugh.

"It seems you still don't understand. Just stay put for now, Naruto."

Menma gave Naruto a deep look before turning around and leaving.

"Wait a minute, brother, if you say this is impossible, then how do you plan to manage a country or a ninja village?!"

I saw that Mianma was about to leave.

Naruto immediately became anxious and stepped forward again to block Menma's path, asking with a look of urgency.

"What methods? Do you really want to know, Naruto?"

Hearing Naruto's urgent question.

This time, Menma put away his previous indifference, and the smile that appeared instead clearly carried a hint of 'malice'.

At the moment I saw it.

Naruto's whole body shuddered involuntarily.

He was resisting hearing Menma's answer, and a voice in his head kept warning him to refuse his brother's answer.

But the words were on the tip of her tongue.

It also seemed like the immense courage that surged within.

Naruto took a deep breath, nodded emphatically, and replied, "I want to know exactly what you're going to do, brother!"

Firm words, resolute eyes.

'That's exactly how it's supposed to be...'

The moment a peculiar light flashed in Menma's pupils, he smiled slightly, then his expression changed, and he said in an extremely cold tone, "Then naturally it will be through blood and fire, Naruto. Aren't they unwilling? Aren't they going to resist?! Then let's destroy all those who oppose us, all those who refuse peace, from spirit to body. In this way, the opposition will disappear, and the obstacles to peace will naturally be gone. At that time, we can forcibly merge all the countries and ninja villages and establish a truly unified world, a truly peaceful and tranquil society!"

Great unification!

Unification under the military model.

This is the goal of Mianmai.

This is also the path that Mianma believes is the most correct one.

This is the only peaceful path that Mianma has walked in the Celestial Empire where he lived his entire life, a path proven over thousands of years.

While a unified country cannot eliminate all conflicts and internal disputes will inevitably occur at different times, they are ultimately within an acceptable and controllable range.

The power to dominate always lies in the hands of the 'government'.

As long as those in power maintain a clear and calm mind, they can govern fairly and treat the people justly.

A world under a new order of peace and tranquility is something to look forward to!

This is Mianma's goal, and even more so, Mianma's expectation.

However, Naruto clearly wouldn't agree with that.

In that instant, his posture was as if struck by lightning, his wide eyes revealing a hint of shock.

"Isn't that just war?! Doesn't that mean bloodshed and death?! What kind of peace can there be with this method?! Brother, do you know what you're saying?! You need to wake up! This is the wrong thing to do!"

It happened only a second or two later.

Naruto reacted immediately, grabbing Menma's right arm tightly with both hands, his expression one of disbelief, and shouted urgently and loudly.

In Naruto's view

My brother's thinking is terrifying.

Using war to create peace?

Isn't this a joke?! How can war possibly bring peace?! This is a complete inequality!

Even if many people die in the process, success is not guaranteed.

Even if we succeed in the end.

Can a nation or ninja village formed in this way truly usher in peace?!

The hatred between them still exists!

By that time.

"How will you face the remaining people who have lost their loved ones and friends? Are you going to kill them all? Wouldn't that be even more horrific? Peace created through hatred is a false peace; it will only create a vicious cycle of hatred, brother!!!"

Naruto seemed to be trying to awaken his older brother in this way, to tell him that this was the wrong thing to do.

However, Menma remained completely unmoved, merely looking at Naruto with indifferent eyes.

Incorrect approach?

The issue of casualties in war?

What about the hatred that follows unification?

No, these are not problems, because these are all correct practices that have been thoroughly proven throughout Mianma's life.

This is not the only or the right path.

The cause of the facial hemorrhoids is unknown.

Because he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

But he is certain that this is the most appropriate and practical approach at present.

"Stop making such ridiculous statements, okay?! Use your brain and reflect on what I said before. What is true peace?! Hmm?!"

"He shouted sternly," Má mā.

"Wrong approach? The resulting chain of hatred? That's just your perspective, Naruto. Peace won't come to us on its own; we have to fight for it with our own hands. Negotiate properly? If you're going to stay this naive forever, then you can stay here forever. Remember, Naruto, war is just a means, a necessary step towards peace! Think about it carefully!"

His face was numb, and his eyes were devoid of warmth.

With a forceful flick of his right hand, he easily broke free from Naruto's grasp, and then, without giving Naruto any further chance to speak,

"Whoosh!"

With a swift movement, he vanished.

Naruto was left alone on the spot, staring blankly in the direction Menma had left, as if he had become dazed at that moment.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 370 A Declaration to the Entire Ninja World!

Until he came to his senses again.

Mianma's figure had completely disappeared.

Naruto could only slowly lower his right hand, which he had just raised.

'War? Peace? Hatred? What is right? And why...?'

At this moment, Naruto was plunged into deep confusion and bewilderment.

Naruto initially thought he had found the true path to peace, but under Menma's relentless attacks, Naruto was at a loss again, and he deeply resisted the kind of peace that Menma had described.

Can killing bring peace?

War kills many people.
