The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

After this experiment ended, Menma took Karin back to the ninja village to handle and reorganize affairs. One person's strength can suppress the entire ninja world, but to truly and completely rule the entire world.

We would need to use conventional methods.

It requires a large number of personnel to assist.

Research on the power of Yin Dun.

Making dough requires a certain amount of preparation.

Even the most important lunar landing program cannot be implemented immediately; it still requires a crucial transition period.

This period of time can be used to allow Menma to integrate the internal forces of Hidden Light Village.

Regardless of the attitudes and plans of other ninja villages, or Obito's own group.

Mianma plans to launch his plans by the end of this year.

With this strength, he no longer needed to endure. He was not Madara Uchiha, who was forced to fight alone, nor was he Hashirama Senju, who could still yearn for a peaceful world where people understood each other.

Mianma is determined to forge its own unique path!

Returning to normal life with noodles.

They are also fulfilling their duties as Tianying very well.

After this special celebration, the entire ninja world seemed to return to normal calm. The tension between the various ninja villages had also subsided considerably. Even Iwagakure, which had previously tried to ally with Konoha, went into hiding after realizing that Konoha's attitude had changed.

That Third Tsuchikage was ambitious.

They have absolute confidence.

But he never acts rashly. He would rather be safe than risk his own village. Menma has already demonstrated his absolute strength, and the foundation and strength of Hikari Village should not be underestimated. Without at least a 70% chance of success, Onoki would never make a move. Maintaining the current alliance with Menma is the more sensible choice.

Yes.

On the surface.

In the original five great nations of the ninja world.

One chose silence, the other chose to back down.

The remaining three, and relatively powerful ones at that, have reached varying degrees of 'friendship/ceasefire/alliance' agreements with Hidden Light Village and Menma.

No matter how strong the effect.

At the very least, it truly bought Mianma a crucial period of development time.

Menma also focused on strengthening some institutional reforms within his own ninja village.

The formation of air combat forces, the further research and development and mass production of chakra armor, and some new weapons created from the Land of the Sky, incorporating some of Menma's theoretical knowledge from his previous life, all achieved breakthroughs to varying degrees during this period.

Especially the latter.

Mianma didn't expect to develop any sophisticated or advanced weapons all at once; that was absolutely impossible.

The most critical problems are the lack of technological foundation and the shortage of scientific researchers.

Therefore, Mianma is using the current scientific research foundation of this world to create more simplified versions of weapons.

For example, some cannons with larger calibers.

There are also weapons like handguns and grenades that can be carried on one's person.

Giving a Chunin, or even a Jonin, that equipment is indeed insufficient, and it should even be said that it is not very useful.

However, if it is equipped on a genin who is relatively weak and has limited attack methods.

That would be a leap forward in strength.

The number of ninjas in Hidden Light Village is still too small. Even if the former Takigakure and Kusagakure villages were combined, there would only be a little over 7,000 ninjas over the age of ten. Not to mention those under the age of ten, they cannot be considered as combat power at all. Even though Menma had issued a policy to recruit wandering ninjas before the establishment of Hidden Light Village, firstly, the number and quality of wandering ninjas were just so-so. Even if they were recruited, their role might not be very significant. Secondly, wandering ninjas are almost all veterans who have been in the ninja world for twenty or thirty years. They are unlikely to obey the orders of the ninja village easily and are not so easy to integrate.

To truly improve the strength of the ninja village, we must start from within.

The other five ninja villages either looked down on the deployment of such new weapons or lacked awareness of their importance.

The key to success is to grasp this point and narrow the necessary gap between each other.

"So, the problem still lies in the raw materials, right?"

February 22nd, in the Hidden Light Village, inside the Sky Shadow Building.

Mianma looked at Ajun in front of him, frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, Lord Tenkage, the weapons you requested are not technically difficult, but the problem is that we lack the necessary production materials in both the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Grass, making it difficult to achieve the large-scale mass production you require."

"Ah Jun, sitting opposite me, said with a bitter expression."

The guns and shells that Menma requested to be produced were based on the simplest templates from his previous life. After all, Menma didn't even know much about theoretical knowledge and could only develop them based on the existing scientific research foundation of this world.

That's what guns are like.

Mianma proposed a concept.

Then the technical staff below will make improvements.

The effect is obvious. It's not like starting from scratch. It's similar to a pistol, which is just a shortening of the original long-barreled gun. Not to mention, the concept of a pistol has always existed in this world, it's just not that widespread.

Hand grenades and the like.

There are things like explosive tags.

It's also easy to solve.

It takes almost no time to produce the samples. After a little time is spent on further improvements to enhance stability and destructive power, they are generally much more effective than explosive tags in certain situations.

This is the most suitable thing for genin to use.

However, there were no major technical difficulties.

Mass production is a major problem.

"Is it that there are no raw materials available at all?"

Mianma gently tapped the table and asked.

"It's not that all raw materials are in short supply, but the specific metal materials used to make gun barrels are only found in large quantities in the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth. We can only purchase them through sales channels. But as you know, while the unit price of such metal is not high, the total price is still very high once the quantity increases. More importantly, we will definitely buy in large quantities, which will inevitably cause the market price to rise."

Ah Jun took out another piece of white paper from his pocket, presented it to the shriveled desk, and replied softly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 400 Before the Omen

Limited by the availability of materials, it was impossible to manufacture the corresponding weapons.

This is considered a fairly common occurrence in the ninja world.

After all, kunai, shuriken, smoke bombs, explosive tags, soldier pills, and other tools and items commonly used by ninjas require different raw materials to manufacture. Only the Land of Fire, with its vast territory, abundant resources, and deep pockets, has never lacked these raw materials or the necessary funds.

The other major countries either lack money (specifically Sunagakure) or certain raw materials. In this respect, apart from Konoha, no other ninja village can escape this predicament.

If even a large ninja village is like this, then it goes without saying that small and medium-sized countries are in even worse shape.

Generally speaking, even the most basic equipment like kunai and shuriken are not abundant in small ninja villages. Takigakure is considered relatively wealthy among these villages. However, even so, Menma's various reforms and constructions over the past year have almost emptied Takigakure's decades-long accumulated wealth. The funds Menma obtained from Gato have also been exhausted. If it weren't for obtaining the location of the Land of the Sky's legacy from Shinno, especially the leftovers or the air combat equipment Shinno has manufactured over the years, Menma wouldn't even be able to assemble a standard-sized air combat force.

Now we also need to update the equipment for all the genin in the entire ninja village.

The problem of resource scarcity will be difficult to solve.

As A-Jun said, since the two countries to which his ninja village belonged could not find the corresponding amount of metal ore, they had to purchase it from outside. But where would the money come from? What they also needed to be wary of was that doing so would attract the attention of other ninja villages.

This is unlike any other moment in history.

Now, the Hidden Light Village, under Menma's leadership, attracts the attention of other ninja villages with every move it makes.

This is something that doesn't involve much technology.

It's basically a killer move that kills on first meeting.

Once Menma is unleashed, other ninja villages can replicate it frequently. At that point, their advantage will turn into a disadvantage.

How wealthy are they?

Therefore, before gaining the expected substantial advantage, no mistakes can be easily made.

"Then let's prioritize the production of other weapons and equipment, and make as many improvements as possible. Let's put aside those that lack raw materials for now."

For a while, Mianma couldn't think of many useful methods. There were only two ways to obtain raw materials: either buy them or seize the production areas of the raw materials.

Neither of these two methods is currently available for use in making noodles.

His next plan was either to remain still or to act swiftly and decisively, giving the enemy no time to breathe or react.

"Yes, Lord Tenkage."

Ah Jun also bowed and replied.

"By the way, we need to further strengthen security around the production base. Without my orders, no one except designated personnel, no matter who they are, is allowed to approach. The daily screenings must also be intensified, with three patrols every day without fail. Understand?!"

"Yes! I will obey your command!"

Then.

Ah Jun then strode out of the office to carry out his mission.

Menma stood up and walked to the giant world map hanging on the left wall of the office. It not only marked the geographical locations of the major ninja villages, but also marked all the other small ninja villages with specific information.

With a pockmarked face, he stared intently at the countries above.

The outstretched fingers pressed down one after another, finally settling on the largest country in the lower left corner of the map.

The Land of Wind—Sunagakure!

'It seems that, both publicly and privately, you'll be the primary target...'

A faint, sharp glint appeared in Mianma's eyes as he murmured to himself.

Originally, this was part of Menma's initial unification plan.

Sunagakure was the first target Menma set his sights on.

The reason is simple: Sunagakure is too weak. Compared with Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, Sunagakure completely lacks the strength and foundation that a great ninja village should have.

Over the years, only Rasa has been holding the fort. More than a decade has passed since the end of World War III, and yet no one from the new generation has grown up.

Whether in the original work or in this life, the only one who can ultimately hold up the situation is Gaara, a young guy.
