The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Several floating, pitch-black spheres also appeared and disappeared at that moment, swirling and circling, and then a power that made people feel extremely uneasy was emanating from them.

Completely unconcerned about the facial paralysis caused by the Mist Ninja.

It was clear that this was just Obito testing the waters.

Kirigakure, a village that only has size and no other threatening means, was not something Menma would have taken seriously before, let alone now.

He was gradually adapting to the immense power of the Tenseigan's origin absorbed into his body, enhancing his spiritual power little by little, and doing everything he could to solidify his foundation, so that the power of his body and the power of his spirit could be perfectly integrated, allowing him to steadily take that crucial step.

The current level of facial expression can be described as 'inhuman'.

These enemies are not even worth considering in Menma's eyes.

What Menma needs to do now is to weave a huge net, a net that can trap all the enemies, and then launch a fatal attack. If he doesn't make a move, he won't do it; but if he does, Menma will eliminate all the enemies.

This applies to the five major powers.

The same applies to Obito and Nagato.

Including Uchiha Madara in the Pure Land, and that filial son who has lived for a thousand years, Menma will absolutely not give them any extra chances.

What we need is a one-hit kill.

Mianma doesn't want to play cat and mouse games in the future.

A sense of ease that flows from above to below.

It could easily spread throughout the entire ninja village.

Menman's attitude was almost one of high-pressure contempt towards Kirigakure, which made the Light Ninja who went into battle feel no tension or worry at all.

This is the huge attribute boost that personal charm brings.

As long as Menma's undefeated myth exists, the morale of the Light Ninja will remain at its highest level.

These Light Ninjas, who obeyed Menma's orders and gathered in large numbers on the eastern and southern front lines, attracted the attention and vigilance of the surrounding countries with their imposing presence.

Chapter 422 The Roar of the Front Lines

Three to four thousand Light Ninja marched valiantly to the front lines, which can be said to account for more than half of the current strength of the Hidden Light Village. In the previous great battle, the Hidden Light Village was the victor, but it also paid a considerable price. Hundreds and thousands of people died in battle, and the number of the wounded was several times greater.

Those with minor injuries can naturally return to active duty, but those who are seriously injured or even disabled are very likely to have to give up their identity as ninjas.

This is the biggest predicament of small and medium-sized ninja villages; their foundation is far inferior to that of the five great nations.

This is why Menma, despite already possessing top-tier strength and having powerful allies like Utakata, Fu, and Suigetsu, still goes to great lengths to strengthen his subordinate ninjas. Menma isn't like Nagato from Akatsuki, nor is he like Madara or Obito who only wanted to realize the Moon Plan. He wanted a truly well-established and harmonious world, which meant that Menma needed a large and reliable number of subordinates. A lone commander or a small elite group wouldn't work.

This world is vast, even larger than the blue planet where Menma lived in her previous life. Even if Menma were a god, it would be impossible for her to truly take care of everything.

Various new weapons, especially the chakra armor that doubles the defensive capabilities, have always been an important focus of Menma's series of ninja village governance. Menma is unaware of why Kakashi in the original work did not pay attention to the chakra armor in the Land of Snow and did not bring this technology back to Konoha to improve it.

However, Menma himself would never overlook any reforms and innovations in military technology.

As Menma had previously stated, in this operation, in addition to the need for the air combat units to be trained and integrated, they also need to avoid being easily exposed.

Mianma ordered that all the remaining brand-new equipment be brought out for a test run, including the newly formed puppet army. Although the puppets obtained from the moon had not yet been disassembled and analyzed, the relatively important extraterrestrial meteorite had not yet been acquired.

But this real-world test is the best way to obtain data.

Mianma has already ordered the leaders of each unit to monitor the battlefield usage of every piece of equipment in real time.

Mianma even sent some researchers to the front lines to conduct on-site investigations, which is the most effective way to gather information.

As for whether it's overconfident.

There's really no need to be too wary of Kirigakure, a mere village. Although Menma himself won't be fighting, the leaders and commanders are all people Menma trusts the most and who are very powerful. Utakata, Muko, and Suigetsu will all be participating in the battle.

If the previous battle laid the foundation for the rise of Hidden Light Village, then this battle is for Menma to further demonstrate the hegemony of Hidden Light Village and show their strongest side.

"whoosh"

In the eastern region, the defenses still revolve around the massive fortress complex that was previously established.

In the southern region.

Having received Menma's highest order, Wuwei left behind a number of necessary ninjas to keep watch outside the western Sunagakure village.

The remaining troops also marched to the plains closest to the neighboring River Country. Unlike the routes between other large and small countries, which are often narrow, the area between the Grass Country and the River Country is a rare example of a vast plain. This is why Menma did not invest much capital in building corresponding strongholds here.

There's really not much need for it.

There are too many points that need to be guarded against.

The costs incurred are completely disproportionate to the potential strategic value gained.

It would be better to just open it up completely; perhaps there will be unexpected gains.

And it was at the same time that Wuwei led this group of Light Ninja to the front line and set up camp on the spot.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

On the southeastern coast of the land of rivers, one after another, ships, all at least medium-sized or larger, appeared within the sight of those on the shore.

The sign you see is unique to Kirigakure.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

And before they even reached the shore, hundreds of Mist Ninja had already leaped off the ship and rushed straight towards them.

It just so happened that the soldiers of the River Country stationed on the shore line, upon witnessing this scene, were initially stunned, but their expressions all changed.

This is a ninja, and a notorious one at that, a Mist Ninja.

"Sir? What should we do?"

In this coastal outpost.

A young soldier, trembling with fear, looked at a middle-aged man in armor who had just emerged from the inner side and was clearly the military commander in charge of this stronghold, and asked him a question.

"What should we do? Don't do anything. What are we supposed to do about the ninjas' affairs? Close the base temporarily. Starting today, cancel all patrols. No one is allowed to leave the base without my order!"

The middle-aged man snorted and said irritably.

As a coastal defense official from a minor noble family in the Land of Rivers, he understood the terror of ninjas far better than most. Although high-ranking officials and nobles from various governments seemed to criticize ninjas with disdain, they knew best what kind of power ninjas possessed.

To say it would change the world is certainly a huge exaggeration.

But there was still nothing that caused a deafening roar.

This middle-aged man once had the misfortune of witnessing, in his youth, a monster from Sunagakure, hundreds of times larger than a human, spew out a hurricane-like torrent from its mouth, directly destroying an entire village.

Later he learned that it was the so-called Tailed Beast.

It is considered an extremely terrifying existence even in the world of ninjas.

It was from that day onwards.

He then realized that the gap between ordinary people and ninjas was like an insurmountable chasm.

"Yes!"

The soldiers below nodded and responded immediately upon hearing their commander's order.

They were moving on the water, and their speed far exceeded what the soldiers could comprehend.

They have no desire to have anything to do with such a thing.

It's possible that even the slightest aftershock of the battle could easily take them down.

"Feng, immediately send a telegram back to the capital to report the landing of the Mist Ninja. See if the ministers or the daimyo have any orders."

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at a green-haired boy on the side, speaking softly.

In such a special world.

It's not just ninjas who have to go to the battlefield at a young age; in ordinary armies, there are plenty of eleven or twelve-year-old boys too. Don't think that this world is only about battles between ninjas; ordinary battles between countries also exist. Otherwise, how did the Head Country, which Menma obtained the summoning lizard for, perish?

Were the territories of the five great powers always this large?

It all came about by annexing one small country after another.

The existence of the military is still very necessary.

Moreover, as long as they are well-trained elites, equipped with bows and crossbows, as well as some ordinary cannons and spears, it is still very difficult for ordinary junior and junior ninjas to break through. In fact, if they are not careful, they will likely die at the hands of the army.

They can truly disregard the military.

Even if you increase the number of ninjas, it will be useless.

They are at least Jonin who have mastered techniques capable of causing large-scale destruction.

Based on this...

In selecting soldiers, countries still don't care about having too many. After all, these are just low-level soldiers. The nobles won't bother with these people. Just give them a meal and a little pay.

This has led to a situation where young boys are frequently recruited in the military, especially in harsh border regions.

"Yes, Lord Uesugi."

The green-haired boy straightened his body, answered loudly, and immediately jogged into the base.

The middle-aged man was left standing on the highest point at the forefront of this coastal defense outpost, gazing at the Mist Ninjas landing one after another, his pupils revealing a hint of fear mixed with emotion.

If there is a choice.

He wanted to get away from here immediately.

Who knows if a battle between ninjas will break out soon?

It's such a short distance, it seems quite safe.
