The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

All the shops in the ninja village have launched even more extravagant promotional activities.

Today marks the biggest celebration in Hidden Light Village, and it will be a day that the entire village will remember for the rest of its days.

The joyful times continued.

Almost all the civilians and ordinary ninjas had to immerse themselves in this atmosphere for at least a period of time.

However, Menma and other high-ranking members immediately threw themselves back into their intense and important work the moment the celebration ended.

I won't say more.

Just facing delegations from ninja villages in different countries, Menma needs to be extremely vigilant.

To reiterate, the path that Menma will take from now on is a combination of benevolent and domineering approaches!

This means that even if Mianma can resort to any means necessary in many aspects, he still needs to adopt a fair and square strategy on some of the most critical matters of principle.

A shadow.

The supreme leader of a military group.

It cannot be too dark (this is also the biggest reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi would tolerate Danzo. However, this Third Hokage still went a little too far, and as he grew old, he was no longer as vigorous as he was in his youth.)

A leader is someone who brings hope to people.

This applies to any world, any dimension, and any place.

Menma is now in such a situation. He is no longer barefoot. The path he has chosen is neither the terrifying rule of Nagato, nor the 'illusory dream' path of Madara, which, even without being deceived, is still devoid of any reality.

To embark on a complete path of unification.

That is the hope for Mianma.

and so.

Next, he needs to operate within the rules.

This is a limitation, but it also has great advantages. Menma himself understands this very well. Of course, the most important premise for doing this is that it does not truly endanger the core interests of Menma and Hidden Village.

Menma's willingness to follow basic 'rules' does not mean that he is completely pedantic.

The leader of a ninja village in a superpower.

It is essential to learn to operate flexibly in this aspect.

Double standards or not.

This principle cannot be applied to leaders, unless their actions are truly motivated by the interests and safety of the entire group.

That's the right thing to do.

This is also the basis of judgment in Mianma's mind.

After the entire celebration concluded.

Menma then convened a large-scale meeting, with each of the ninja villages from various countries sending one or two representatives to participate.

At this meeting.

They didn't really go into any deep discussion.

But some things...

Some attitudes.

But it had already been revealed unintentionally.

The most direct point is that, from now on, under the influence of Hidden Light Village, no ninja from other countries will be allowed to enter the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Grass without the permission of Hidden Light Village.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this point may not seem like a significant benefit.

But it should be noted that in the past, this was a privilege that only the five major powers had by default.

Ninjas from the five great nations can freely enter the territory of the smaller nations among them, but within the territory of the five great nations, ninjas from any other nation cannot enter without permission, not even those from ninja villages within the five great nations.

Once discovered, it can be considered a provocation and the perpetrator will be killed on the spot.

Now, another ninja village will have this privilege.

That's Hidden Light Village!

This is a manifestation of hegemony!

If all the ninja villages in the world choose to acquiesce, then the power and status of the Hidden Light Village will be initially consolidated.

no doubt.

In the current situation.

As long as Konoha and Iwagakure don't take the lead, the establishment of Hidden Light Village's status is a foregone conclusion. It should be said that the moment both ninja villages were willing to send delegations, it was already a done deal.

Otherwise, they should have firmly rejected the invitation from the Hidden Light Village from the very beginning and directly announced the 'illegal status' of the Hidden Light Village to the entire ninja world.

Not doing so is already an act of admission.

At this point, the meeting was merely a procedural confirmation.

The only difference between it and other major powers is that its actual area of ​​control is relatively small.

After all, neither the Land of Waterfalls nor the Land of Grass are considered major countries.

The area that Hidden Light Village can influence is limited to the two countries.

It is foreseeable that in the future, the two countries will be heavily guarded by ninja villages from various countries, thus establishing their status as major powers.

This is just the beginning.

Let's look at it in the normal order.

They would have to endure at least one more attack from a major power, or a series of battles. They didn't necessarily have to win; as long as they could escape unscathed, then the status of Hidden Light Village as a major power would be truly secured.

But that's a story for another time.

This is undoubtedly still a glorious moment for Hidden Light Village.

not to mention.

Those are just general sequences; not to mention that under the shadow of Obito and Nagato, the Akatsuki organization is already stirring.

Even if he only looks at himself, he would never settle for the 'farming mode'. You must know that his goal is the real 'sea of ​​stars'!

This meeting, which brought together many diplomatic missions, did not last very long.

And it's mostly just empty talk.

The interests of the Ninja Village were determined in such a meeting. All that was needed now was for the delegations from various Ninja Villages to return to their respective villages, and for a period of time, if no disturbances were caused.

Then everything is completely settled.

Sunagakure doesn't matter, and Kirigakure didn't come to participate anyway.

The Hidden Cloud Village has ulterior motives and is currently powerless to participate in the affairs of the ninja world.

The places to look at are Konoha and Iwagakure.

During the meeting, the representatives from other small ninja villages frequently glanced at the representatives from the two villages.

But both Huangtu and Shikaku remained unmoved, which deeply disappointed these small ninja villages.

This seems to be a very contradictory psychological state.

In fact, this is the best way for these small ninja villages to survive.

They don't want to see frequent wars, but they also don't want to see the rise of a great power, because the ninja world is only so big.

The original five great nations were already squeezing them out of their wits, and now they have to add the Hidden Light Village to the mix.

These small ninja villages could easily foresee an even more miserable future.

Especially those countries near the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Grass.

They've already started to feel extremely cautious.

God knows what kind of terrifying behemoth this is!

At the moment the meeting ended, the delegations from the four major ninja villages remained calm, but the delegations from the smaller ninja villages all left with worried expressions.

"It seems you're right. Menma, Konoha, and Iwagakure all have their own intentions, yet they haven't offered a single objection..."

This also happened after the delegations from various ninja villages left one after another.

In the main seat of that spacious conference room.

Karin stood gracefully to Menma's left, speaking with a serious expression.

Besides asserting sovereignty, this meeting also served as an additional test of the major ninja villages.

Although it was quite obvious that these ninja village delegations would not leave easily after the celebration ended, Menma and the others still hoped to figure out their initial intentions as soon as possible.

Especially Konoha and Iwagakure.

The composition of the mission was already outrageous, not to mention whether there were any other hidden details.

After the first round of probing...

It can be preliminarily determined that their initial judgment was correct.

In the four great ninja villages.

Only Sunagakure was truly innocent; they came without any ulterior motives, simply to make a brief appearance before leaving.

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their objective is fairly clear.

It's hard to say about Konoha and Iwagakure.

"Yes, that's true at the moment, but it might not turn out the way I expect. Ultimately, we still have the initiative in our hands, so there's no need to rush."

Mianma gently exhaled a breath of stale air and said.

"So that means we just have to wait for their next move?"

Karin blinked and asked softly.

"Yes, we don't need to do much. Just watch them perform quietly. The village security will remain the same as before. There's no need for any unnecessary restrictions. In the next few days, let's see who makes the first move."

Mianma bent his right index finger, tapped the table lightly, and said with a smile.
