The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Sasuke it may be.

Just like ordinary humans, including the former Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the fact that he died of old age proves that Hagoromo had not yet truly entered that realm.

However, this old man should have no problem treating a mere severed arm.

Because they know Yin-Yang Escape.

Even Madara is the same!

So, Shikaku either has to be a one-armed hero for life, or he has to accept a mechanical arm.

Shikamaru naturally had reason to resent the Hidden Light Village, led by Menma.

However, Shikaku ultimately did not die, and it should also be noted that this war was initiated by Konoha. The reason is no longer important. Ordinary people cannot see through it, but how could Shikamaru not understand?

This is an inevitable result of the inherent difference in perspective.

It's just that his father is still alive, which allows Shikamaru to have a relatively calm mind to look at and consider these issues.

It must be said that, under certain circumstances, the smarter a person is, the more they can feel helpless and understand what true powerlessness means.

"This gate is truly magnificent..."

"Is this the Hidden Light Village?"

Following closely behind Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba also stared wide-eyed. Hinata's face held a complex expression that was hard to describe. She desperately wanted Naruto to be alive, but she was also terrified that this hope would be ruthlessly shattered.

I had been so looking forward to coming to Hidden Light Village.

Now that they've reached the door, Hinata is filled with fear as she steps inside.

Neji, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hinata, also wore a complex expression at this moment, and the scenes from before involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

'Swirl-shaped face...'

They couldn't help but murmur the name of Mianma in their hearts.

"Gentlemen of Konoha, you have come from afar. Thank you for your hard work. On behalf of Lord Tenkage, I welcome you to our Hidden Light Village!"

It is located inside the main entrance.

Shikaku and his group arrived, led by two Hikari ninja.

Shibuki and Karin were also waiting there ahead of time. No matter how fierce the previous battle was, it did not affect their smiling faces at this moment.

Chapter 375 Konoha Mission

This is an essential skill for high-ranking members of a nation and a ninja village.

One second they can be fighting to the death, the next second they can sit together and chat peacefully.

Because they represent not only themselves, but also a country and a ninja village, everything must be done with the greater good in mind, and everything must be based on the greater good of the country and the ninja village.

Any action, any judgment.

They all serve the core interests.

As the former leader of Takigakure, Shibuki possessed certain qualities in this regard. Both the previous leader and the successor, Mizuno Satoru, closely monitored Shibuki's development. If their heir were to falter in these fundamental abilities, then there would be no reason to have any expectations of him.

Therefore, when facing three Jonin—Shikaku, Inoichi, and Kakashi—Shibuki's outward appearance was truly flawless.

Only Karin's internal energy cultivation skills are not quite there yet.

She's only about 14 years old, so it would be strange if she were really that cunning, but she can still manage to get by on the surface.

Shikaku also wore a cheerful expression, seemingly unconcerned that his arm had been destroyed by the companion of the person before him. He said with a calm tone, "Lord Shibuki, you are too kind. Your village has been reorganized in a new form, and it is also the enthronement celebration of Lord Tenkage. We Konoha should come to congratulate you. We would like to ask Lord Tenkage and Lord Shibuki not to blame us for arriving so late."

Hidden Light Village, Heavenly Shadow!

Once approved internally, this title was then widely publicized throughout the entire ninja world.

This requires the unanimous approval of all ninja villages in the ninja world.

The Hidden Star Village in the Land of Bears is completely self-enclosed and self-indulgent; to put it bluntly, it's just deceiving itself.

Look around, which country in the ninja world recognizes it?

Isn't everyone just treating Hoshigakure as a joke?

film!

This is not merely a self-satisfied title, but also a reflection of a great power's status and a demonstration of the division of interests within a ninja village.

As long as all the ninja villages in the world tacitly acknowledge the status of Hidden Light Village and recognize the identity of the Sixth Kage of the Heavenly Shadow, then Hidden Light Village will naturally possess the right to influence and share the benefits with other small countries in the surrounding area.

This is a genuine 'righteous cause'.

Of course, the most important thing is strength. Even if no country recognizes it, as long as Menma and his group have the corresponding strength, it's the same. It's just that the former is easier, which is why Menma can't understand it.

The fact that Sunagakure came could be attributed to their current weakness and desire to avoid trouble. As for Kumogakure, a 'peace agreement' had been established beforehand, and their Yugito was still in Menma's hands. Even if the probability was extremely low, almost zero, there was still a possibility of redeeming him. Naturally, they wouldn't refuse, since it was just a formality.

Whether or not Iwagakure comes, that leaves room for a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

Only Konoha.

There are a million reasons why they wouldn't come, and they are even more likely to publicly condemn the actions of the Hidden Light Village.

It's not about whether it's useful or not, but whether we would do it.

But now, Konoha has not only sent people.

Such a luxurious and large delegation, and now they have directly acknowledged Menma's status as 'Tenkage' right at the main gate of the ninja village.

Let alone Karin.

Shemu was startled subconsciously.

With such a move, Shibuki really seems to have never experienced anything like it before. Is Konoha just going to admit defeat like this?

Surely not?

A hint of suspicion involuntarily crept into Shibuki's eyes.

Is there something being hidden?

Shibuki forced himself not to meet Karin's gaze. A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind. Unable to make a judgment, Shibuki took a deep breath and composed himself.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu Jiu, you flatter me. Please come in this way."

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

Anyway, I'm just here to do the welcoming work.

There's no need to overthink it.

Shibuki turned sideways in an inviting gesture and said softly.

Karin, sitting to one side, also had a smiling expression, seemingly unaffected by Shikaku's words.

Shikaku said it as if he were saying something completely ordinary.

He smiled and nodded.

Then.

Led by Shibuki and Karin, the Konoha group strode towards the interior of the village.

Along the way.

Shikaku, Kakashi, Inoichi, and the others in the group are still fine.

But Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and the other youngsters couldn't help but look around. Strictly speaking, this was their first time visiting another country's ninja village, and most importantly, this was the ninja village they had just fought against.

If I had to describe it, it would definitely be that there's a strange feeling about it.

Unlike their parents, they do not have such rich life experience.

'It doesn't seem to be much different from Konoha...'

Walk along the main road.

Looking at the shops on both sides.

And among the villagers of Guangyin Village who were walking around, one could clearly feel their high spirits and positive outlook.

A faint, strange look also appeared in Shikamaru's eyes.

But Shikamaru had no idea that Takigakure wasn't like this before. Although it was more peaceful and tranquil than other small ninja villages, that was all. The heartfelt happiness and confidence he felt now was something he hadn't experienced before.

These are all caused by the hemp fibers in the dough.

This allowed these people to undergo a near-evolutionary transformation in less than two years.

Previously, they all looked up to the five great powers.

Now we can look at them on equal footing. Some people with higher self-confidence even feel that their own ninja village can look down on the former Five Great Nations.

Because judging from the current situation...

Our own ninja village has already defeated Kumogakure, Konohagakure, and Kirigakure in succession, and even forced Sunagakure to retreat!

Who can match such a glorious record?!

Is this what happened to the once-powerful Hidden Leaf Village?

Therefore, at the moment when the Hidden Light Village was established and delegations from various ninja villages arrived, the people of the Hidden Light Village felt a sense of pride.

They are now a great superpower!

It is the sixth largest country that all ninja villages must acknowledge, and their leader is the newly established Sixth Kage—Lord Tenkage.

"This is the accommodation we have arranged for everyone in Konoha. Under normal circumstances, you are free to move around. However, please do not wander into certain designated areas. If you need to go out at night, please inform our guards and patrols to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. What do you think, Shikaku-san?"

After arriving at a house not far from the center of the ninja village.

Shemu stopped at the gate, a smile playing on his lips. Beneath his seemingly peaceful words lay a heavy warning.

"This is only natural, so please do not worry, Lord Shibuki. Everyone in Konoha will abide by basic etiquette and order."

Shikaku replied with a light laugh.

"That's good. Well then, since you've come all this way, please rest for a while. We won't disturb you any longer. Karin, let's go."

Shibuki smiled and nodded.
