The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

To put it bluntly, the GDP of the Land of Fire could even exceed the combined GDP of several other major powers!

As the richest country in the world, and second only to the Land of Wind in terms of land area, it is only natural that it has such a prosperous economy.

In the past three Shinobi World Wars, the four great ninja villages frequently targeted Konoha, aiming to take a bite out of the Land of Fire.

Just one bite!

That's enough to make them eat until their mouths are greasy.

Even with the existence of Hidden Light Village, as long as Konoha remains Konoha and the Land of Fire remains the Land of Fire, the focus will not undergo a true qualitative change. At most, it will just be another target to be coveted.

This is not me exaggerating or trying to divert attention.

It is a fact that is universally acknowledged in the ninja world.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Konoha faction were precisely because of this concern, fearing another situation where they would never want to be ambushed or even besieged, which is why they were carefully and cautiously analyzing the situation and making judgments.

In the short history of the five great nations, similar things have happened countless times in just a few decades. Many things that seemed impossible beforehand have eventually come true!

"Yes, I will certainly pass on your reminder to the Hokage. Well then, I'll excuse myself."

Zhuque could clearly see that Mianma was trying to see him off, so he immediately bowed slightly in greeting.

"Ah."

Then.

Led by Karin, they left directly. Menma didn't need to personally handle the subsequent issues; Karin could take care of everything.

"That's human nature and the human heart. Are you sure your method can really bring about lasting peace, Menma?"

And that was after Karin left with Suzaku.

In the other side position.

The servant approached quietly and asked in a soft voice.

"Permanent peace? Who dares to guarantee something so uncertain? Toneri, even if it's the idea of ​​your ancestors, even if your plan truly reflects the wishes of your ancestor Hamura, and you successfully implement it, what will happen in the end? As long as humanity reproduces again, conflicts and disputes will inevitably arise. No, to be more precise, this applies to every living being. It's an inherent nature of all living beings that cannot be suppressed, nor can it be suppressed. All we can do is choose the path that seems right at the moment, unify the world, eliminate the differences in social status, and strive to achieve a world of common prosperity. When that day comes, I dare not say that all disputes will disappear, nor can I promise that there will be permanent peace in the future, but at least it will be a harmonious future that is many times better and happier than it is now."

Menma turned around and looked directly at Shiren, speaking seriously.

After all, they managed to persuade the servants to come back.

Some things need to be discussed openly and frankly, not only with Obito and Nagato's Akatsuki organization.

He also has his own plans for world peace.

Mianma also mentioned some of it to his attendant.

It should be said that Menma's idea is not new, but it is very practical. Over the years, in fact, in the thousand-year history of ninjas, only Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha from a few decades ago have been able to unify the ninja world.

None of the remaining people had the confidence or ability to do so.

But the current noodles are different.

He has such ambition, and even more so, such ability.

However, Toneri didn't really agree with Menma's ideas. In his view, so-called struggles and wars were the manifestation of the ugliest side of human nature. Even if they were truly unified, with only one country and one ninja village, would such conflicts end? Would the darkness and malice in people's hearts simply disappear?

Sheren did not think so.

Not to mention that even if a country is unified, it can still split up again, right?

The question I asked today wasn't a sudden thought, but rather the result of several days of observation and deeper reflections triggered by the arrival of Suzaku in Nara.

However, it was an unconvincing answer.

This was somewhat beyond Sheren's expectations.

"Choose the most correct judgment at the moment? Your answer is always so unexpected, Mama."

Sheren said softly with a touch of emotion.

At first, Shiro thought Menma's answer would either be one of unwavering confidence that a truly peaceful world would surely come, or one of furrowed brows and difficulty in answering.

In Sheren's view, these were all perfectly normal answers.

But Mianma's answer was so unexpected.

"Yes, as long as it's the right choice for the moment, that's enough. Times change, people's hearts change, no system can maintain its vitality forever, and no choice is always right. All we can do is take care of the present. Compared to the chaotic and disorderly world we have now, a unified country is already a world worth looking forward to. As for the problems that will be encountered in the future, we'll solve them in the future. We should look at everything with a developmental perspective, and the same goes for humanity."

Mianma said with a smile.

"A developmental perspective?"

After pondering for a while, the attendant nodded slightly, a hint of realization in his eyes.

"So, do you have any other plans? Menma, now that we know that the attack on Kirigakure is related to that organization, shouldn't we make some targeted arrangements?"

Nagato's Rinnegan, the existence of the Akatsuki organization.

There was also the mysterious Uchiha clan, lurking in the shadows, who had manipulated the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha fourteen years ago. Menma told Toneri everything except some things he couldn't explain. After all, the real reason he tricked Toneri into coming down was to deal with the real villain who had summoned the Gedo Mazo. Menma definitely had to tell him some real information.

Including this recent attack on Kirigakure.

Mianma also voiced his guess.

It wasn't just Toneri; Karin, Muko, Suigetsu, and Hagaka, among Menma's most trusted confidants, all knew this.

"Well, let's wait and see for now. Our preparations aren't fully complete. Whether it's summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path or sweeping through the ninja villages of various countries, we can't afford to make any mistakes. Moreover, this could very well just be a test by the other side. We can adapt to any situation without being too hasty. The more the other side reveals, the greater our chances of winning in the future. And time is actually on our side, isn't it, Toneri?"

Menma looked at Shiren's eyes, which were now covered by a white cloth, and smiled as she spoke.

After Mianma returned to the village.

They took out a pair of Byakugan from the Hyuga clan and transplanted them into Toneri, although it's unknown whether it will allow Toneri to awaken the Tenseigan like in the original story.

But as long as Toneri, who has had these transplanted white eyes, can adapt perfectly, he will be fine.

They will definitely be able to unleash considerable combat power.

As for those Byakugan eyes, they were naturally obtained by Menma from Orochimaru. Ever since Orochimaru obtained a series of important information about the Byakugan—the Tenseigan—from Menma, he began hunting down the Hyuga clan. He wanted the Byakugan of the main family, and he also wanted the bloodline of the branch family members.

It can be said that before Konoha and the Hyuga clan could fully react, Orochimaru had already forcibly taken more than a dozen pairs of the main family's Byakugan, as well as dozens of living or dead members of the branch family.

Orochimaru is not one of those guys from Kumogakure.

As a former high-ranking member of Konoha, even after defecting for so many years, he still has backup plans within the village.

Chapter 421 Waiting for the Right Time

P.S.: I was out running errands all day. I originally planned to finish writing this all at once tonight, but I have to go out again later, so I can only post this much for now. I'm really sorry, I've been so busy lately.

Of course, the most important point is...

Orochimaru had an ultimate inside man, the Dark Lord of Konoha—Shimura Danzo. With his cooperation, obtaining some Byakugan from the Hyuga clan, or even living members of the Hyuga clan, would be a piece of cake.

Ultimately, the Hyuga clan's bloodline power has degenerated far too much. Not to mention having the potential to awaken the Tenseigan like the descendants of Hamura on the moon, even further developing the Byakugan's abilities and possessing power comparable to a Kage level seems so far out of reach.

They are said to be one of the two great ninja clans with eye techniques, along with the Uchiha clan.

It's really just the Hyuga clan trying to glorify themselves. Even if the Uchiha clan doesn't acknowledge it, few in the ninja world believe the Hyuga clan is qualified to be compared to the Uchiha clan. Leaving aside the fact that the Uchiha produced an ultimate powerhouse—Uchiha Madara—just considering other clan members, the Uchiha clan has produced dozens, even more, of Mangekyou Sharingan members throughout its history. Almost every generation has had a member with the Mangekyou Sharingan. On this point alone, what does the Hyuga clan have to compare with the Uchiha clan?!

The function of rolling one's eyes goes far beyond that.

However, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has truly become only used for 'investigation' purposes.

Given the right opportunity, these Hyuga clan members would be completely powerless against Orochimaru, including Hyuga Hiashi, the clan leader, whom Orochimaru could take down in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, Hiashi, as the clan leader, rarely leaves Konoha, especially after an accident involving a clan member, he has increased his security measures.

Otherwise, Hiashi's Byakugan is what Orochimaru desires most. Since his research on the purity of the Byakugan opened up a new perspective, Orochimaru seems to have entered a new world.

Byakugan, Sharingan, Wood Release, or more accurately, Sage Body.

The more you study it.

The more excited Orochimaru became, the more he felt he was about to discover the truth about ninjas. Therefore, he needed a large number of Byakugan users and members of the Hyuga clan at different ages as research material.

With the help of Danzo's secret access and the assistance of some of his former subordinates, Orochimaru obtained the materials he wanted during the previous great battle.

Menma later obtained two or three pairs of Byakugan from Orochimaru, also for his own planning purposes.

Because a long time ago.

Menma had already set his sights on that giant Tenseigan on the moon, so naturally he wanted to make some arrangements in advance by studying the Byakugan. Whether it would be useful or not was another matter, but at least it wouldn't be wrong to prepare in advance.

Although the unexpected assistance from Hamura meant that Menma's prepared backup plan was no longer needed, isn't this just perfect now?

The man who received the Byakugan transplant.

Menma was already eager to see the results of the perfect fusion. If by some stroke of luck, Toneri would awaken the Tenseigan, Menma would be absolutely confident in defeating not only the current enemies, but also the future enemies in the cosmos.

"Yes, that is indeed the case..."

When Sheren heard Mianma's words, he was first taken aback, then touched the corner of his eye and slowly nodded, then said softly.

It will take at most ten days.

Sheren can completely get used to those disdainful eyes.

The constant fetal movements also stirred a faint sense of anticipation in Sheren's heart.

Unlike Menma, who had read the original work and knew that Toneri would eventually awaken the Tenseigan, neither Toneri himself nor his father, who set up the plan, were 100% certain that Toneri would definitely awaken the Tenseigan. It was just an important part of their plan.

The force that truly propels the moon to destroy all life on this planet.

Those who split up on the moon all yearn for the power of that giant Tenseigan.

Sheren was merely the driving force behind the plan.

Therefore, now that Toneri has received the Byakugan, when he feels the fusion of the bloodlines of the two Hamura descendants and that faint sense of mystery, an uncontrollable impulse naturally arises in his heart.

However, whether all of this can come true remains to be seen and we will have to wait for some time.

Ten days!

This is the time Menma needs to prepare for his own ninja village, and it's also the time Toneri needs.

"So, for now, we don't need to do anything. Let's just quietly enjoy the performance of these clowns."

Mianma slowly stood up, placed his hands behind his back, and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk, gazing towards the southeast. At this moment, a faint glimmer of white appeared in his brown pupils.

It is located on the face and around the body.
