The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

That's the information that Mianma considers most valuable.

The ninja world today is no longer the one Menma remembers. The rise of his own village and the completely different development of the original five great nations, especially the tragic state of Kirigakure and Kumogakure, mean that Menma can no longer trust anything in the original story except for the character information. Any judgment or action must be based on the current real information.

Therefore, in terms of intelligence gathering...

Making sesame paste requires a lot of effort.

"Yes, Lord Tenkage, I will obey your command."

Wugou bowed and replied in a deep voice.

Then.

It was with a wave of his hand from Mianma.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Gou also swayed slightly.

They simply vanished from the spot.

Menma also stood up from his seat and walked lightly to the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him, looking out at the scenery of his own ninja village. This should be the standard feature of the building of every ninja village leader in the entire ninja world.

Because of this interior decoration, the Kage could easily observe the general layout of the entire ninja village.

Menma was also looking through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window at the thriving scene of his own ninja village, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Although it's not starting from scratch.

But this is a ninja village.

It was built with the combined efforts of most of Mianma's hard work.

It's really a super-large-scale real-life 'simulation game'.

This is for myself, and also for the people in this world.

'Fine, let me see what your remaining few are planning.'

Menma narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing casually in the direction of the Iwagakure and Konoha delegations. A playful glint flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself.

The earthen platform, which arrived brimming with confidence, departed with a strangely solemn expression.

It's impossible to calculate accurately or see through.

Clashes between ninja villages.

That's often how it is; unless you're truly strong enough to overcome all obstacles with sheer force, you'll inevitably enter into a so-called political confrontation.

That's how it will evolve into a similar situation.

Tsuchitai originally thought that his own ninja village could take a small hit on Hidden Cloud Village to buy time for his village to adjust, but Menma's counterattack really hit Hidden Cloud Village right where it hurts.

Although in the end they will definitely discover the trickery hidden in the way the dough is made.

At least for now.

Mianma is someone who can hold the dominant position in the relationship between the two villages.

The third-to-last ninja village delegation to depart.

The earthen platform was erected two days after the celebration ended.

On January 12, the person leading the mission left, seemingly both 'elated' and 'worried'.

The delegation from Iwagakure and Konohagakure, represented by Huang Tu and Shikaku, is still staying in Hikarigakure. On the surface, it seems that Huang Tu and Shikaku are having business and diplomatic exchanges with A-Jun, Shibuki and others every day, and are completely devoted to the cooperation negotiations with Hikarigakure. However, as long as they do not take the initiative to request a meeting with Menma, they will not be able to hold a meeting.

All of these actions can be seen as delaying tactics.

Menma didn't care about the actions of Tsuchida, Shikaku, and the others. As long as they didn't cross the line, Menma could let them make their own judgments. Menma believed that as long as they waited, they would definitely slip up. Therefore, after Tsuchida left, Menma once again explained the key points of the work to Karin and Muko.

He then threw himself back into the construction of the ninja village and his own experimental testing.

The former can also proceed gradually.

But the latter has already reached a crucial juncture.

Whether it's further strengthening his own physical body or extracting the Two-Tailed Matatabi from Yugito, these are the next experiments that Menma urgently needs to begin.

Meanwhile, Menma was also busy preparing for his experiment.

In the distant land of water, in the Hidden Mist Village.

It was on a tall building in the easternmost part of this super ninja village, which was still shrouded in dark clouds.

A figure dressed in a fiery cloud robe and wearing an orange spiral mask stood there with his hands behind his back.

This figure was none other than a stranger.

It was 'Runtu' who was tirelessly preparing for the final step of the Eye of the Moon Project.

At this moment, a hint of smugness was clearly visible in his single exposed Sharingan eye. Looking at the Hidden Mist Village so close at hand, Obito's face, hidden beneath his mask, was also full of pleasure.

Years ago, due to his own mistake, Obito's control over the Fourth Mizukage was exposed, preventing him from continuing to remotely control Kirigakure and carry out his revenge. This already made Obito extremely unhappy.

The reason given was the importance of the Eye of the Moon Plan, and also the fact that Kirigakure had become more vigilant. Wasting time here would not be very meaningful, so Obito had no choice but to give up. However, he was now able to regain control of this ninja village.

He would squeeze every last bit of value out of this ninja village, both to advance his own plans and to avenge the grudges of the past.

Obito was overjoyed.

"How's it going? The last guy has been replaced by now, right?"

I don't know when it happened.

A dark figure quietly appeared to Obito's left.

Obito didn't turn around; he simply asked the question in a light, casual tone.

"Hehe, they've all been taken into control and replaced. The only remaining guards are those who are diligently guarding that old man's mansion, and that guy named Bi, who just can't find the space or opportunity to strike. Also, that old man seems to have made some discoveries. The guy named Quanbingwei that we took into control before was carrying out a secret investigation on the old man's orders."

Black Zetsu chuckled softly and reported directly.

Ever since Kirigakure was severely damaged by Menma and then retreated completely, Obito has decided to continue to secretly control Kirigakure.

After this period of effort.

After deploying a batch of White Zetsu.

Most of the Jonin holding important positions in Kirigakure have been replaced. It can be said that Obito's arrangements this time are much more meticulous than the previous ones, especially with the assistance of the cunning Black Zetsu.

Kirigakure truly fell into Obito's control once again without anyone noticing. Unlike the previous time when he only controlled Yagura Karatachi, this time Obito chose the entire upper echelons of Kirigakure.

White Zetsu's disguise technique.

However, no advanced sensory technique in the ninja world can distinguish between a true and a false ultimate cheat.

They have the exact same appearance, and their chakra aura is 100% identical.

Who can tell the difference?

Now, the plan to take control of Kirigakure is finally coming to its final step, as long as that old man is successfully eliminated.

Obito would then be able to easily wield the immense power of Kirigakure once again.

And this time, there's no need to worry about being discovered or interrupted by anyone.

"It doesn't matter, it's the last step anyway, we can clean it all up at once."

Obito said in a calm tone.

His words were filled with disdain.

They're just a few insects.

Obito wouldn't care.

Previously, Kirigakure had been reorganized, and there was a strong person like Mei Terumi, as well as Ao's Byakugan.

Obito was afraid that revealing too much would cause the plan to fail, because his own people knew his own secrets.

Obito didn't think he was that strong.

Especially in Konoha 48, when he was given a "lesson" on the spot by his so-called teacher.

Obito had a very clear understanding of himself in this regard.

Therefore, he would not easily reveal himself to fight others, which is why the fact that Yagura was controlled by illusion magic was exposed.

Obito had no intention of forcibly pushing back; the main reason for his immediate departure was simply to create a minor disturbance.

If Obito feels a significant threat that could potentially affect the execution of the Eye of the Moon Plan, he will weigh the options and abandon the plan altogether.

But the Hidden Mist Village is different now.

Having lost a large number of ninjas, including Mei Terumi and Ao, Kirigakure no longer needs to be on high alert. What right does a ninja village that can't even muster a single Kage-level ninja to maintain its strength have to call itself a great power?

Sunagakure can now look down on Kirigakure.

At the very least, if Maki were to take Gaara, and those two old guys Chiyo and Ebizo with him to the battlefield.

Kirigakure is absolutely unstoppable.

You can have some gaps in high-end combat capabilities, but you can't be completely without them.

Such a disparity in combat strength will only lead to a one-sided battle.

"Let's go. It's time to put an end to this. Kirigakure will once again fall under my control!"

Obito gave a cold laugh.

"Buzz!"

As a slight yet noticeable spatial ripple spread out all around.

Obito's figure darted into it.

Black Zetsu, who was on one side, also chuckled softly before disappearing back into the ground, following closely behind Obito.

P.S.: I'm so sorry, I was writing last night when I got a call from my boss and had to go to a meeting. I didn't get back until after midnight and couldn't continue writing. I also forgot to send a leave notice. Please forgive me, fellow readers. Lately, there have been more and more inspection teams coming down from above...

The setting sun slowly sinks below the horizon.
