The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"I obey Your Majesty's command, First Generation Lord."

Sakumo bowed deeply to the village's First Hokage, showing the utmost respect, and replied softly.

"Alright, let's go then. Accompany this old man on a tour of the village! Hahaha!"

Hashirama laughed heartily, instantly reverting to his usual cheerful demeanor. For this god of ninjas, there was no obstacle in the world that he could not overcome.

It's like this in childhood, it's like this in youth, it's like this in adulthood, and it's like this in old age.

This is Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage of Konoha.

Under different forms.

They talked about the different choices they made.

The three groups of people separated.

The enormous upheaval that has occurred within Konoha Village remains unknown to anyone at this moment.

This also applies to Madara Uchiha, who served as Black Zetsu's 'temporary master'. This is not only because Madara Uchiha's mind is too simple, but more importantly, Black Zetsu's actions never reveal any obvious traces.

Those 100,000 White Zetsu were completely obedient to Black Zetsu's orders.

Madara Uchiha?

Uchiha Obito?

Those were merely the first and second representatives chosen by Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu left the moment he saw the Impure World Reincarnation technique successfully completed.

The scene was filled with Ashura, members of the Uzumaki clan, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Although Black Zetsu was very confident in his ability to hide and conceal himself, there was still a chance that he could be discovered.

Before the others woke up.

Black Zetsu then stealthily moved underground, instantly leaving the area of ​​Konoha Village.

"Hmph, with these few people around, at least we can find out all of Uzumaki Menma's trump cards without any problem. At the very least, we can exhaust most of Uzumaki Menma's stamina and chakra."

Black Zetsu looked at the brightly lit Hidden Leaf Village in the distance with a sinister smile and said in a cold voice.

Throughout history, Indra has always been a troublesome fellow.

While this generation's Madara Uchiha was the most talented among the reincarnations of Indra, he was clearly less intelligent, as if Indra's reincarnations were meant to use their brains to gain power (Ashura seems to be similar).

It's all about how brainless a person is.

The stronger it becomes.

This also led to...

The so-called Eye of the Moon Project.

While it may seem that Madara Uchiha devised the plan, Black Zetsu was at least the one who spearheaded and pushed forward most of the arrangements within it.

If Black Zetsu weren't there.

What can Madara Uchiha possibly accomplish?!

But people make their own choices, and they create their own paths, so Black Zetsu has nothing to complain about. If it were someone with the brains of Tobirama or Izuna, Black Zetsu would be fooling them!

It's a sign that Blackie has some brains that he wasn't fooled.

This illustrates the duality of things; advantages naturally come with disadvantages.

From a positive perspective of the plan, Madara Uchiha was indeed the best choice for Black Zetsu. Paying the price for Madara Uchiha's quirks was a price that Black Zetsu himself had to bear.

Fortunately, Black Zetsu had already realized this a thousand years ago.

Now it's finally time to reap the rewards.

Black Zetsu took one last deep look at Konoha before quickly leaving, as he needed to get back to Madara Uchiha as soon as possible.

Next comes the crucial final battle.

He has to keep a close eye on it at all times.

At the same time.

In the heart of the Land of Waterfalls, at the eastern headquarters of Hikari Village.

Menma, who had already wiped out the main force of Sunagakure, returned to the village with Gaara, who was in a coma.

"Just like before, test the cell activity level of this guy, and then adjust the dosage based on the baseline."

In that office.

Menma appeared the moment he did.

Karin, who was handling the documents for Menma in the main seat, was initially startled, but then completely relaxed the moment she sensed Menma's familiar presence and heard Menma's voice.

"Have the problems at Sunagakure been resolved?"

Karin looked at Gaara, who had been placed on the ground by Menma, nodded first, and then asked.

"Yes, I've already killed the Fifth Kazekage, and I've brought back the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. The remaining Sand Ninja are basically a disorganized mess, so there's nothing to worry about. Now I can focus all my energy on dealing with Konoha!"

Menma said softly with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Karin nodded slightly and waved her small hand.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Two dark figures emerged from the shadows on either side, exuding a chilling aura and a powerful surge of chakra.

These were the shadow guards who took turns protecting the area around this office.

These Shadow Guards were all handpicked from the existing Light Ninja, and they were equipped with the third-generation chakra armor, the latest model, the kind that couldn't be mass-produced and was extremely expensive.

He also carried modern pistols, grenades, and other weapons.

Combined with their individual abilities.

Under normal circumstances, he should have no problem exchanging a few blows with a regular Kage-level ninja.

The dark area is the dark area.

The shadow guard is a shadow guard.

It used to be unified, but now it's separate.

The secret service has now grown into four companies and sixteen squads.

The Shadow Guards, however, always maintained four squads.

He is the strongest among all the Light Ninja.

The two people now being called out are members of the sealing and barrier teams that Menma previously led, and they both have considerable experience in dealing with Jinchuriki.

"Take him to Prison Number One, and it'll be the same as before."

Karin looked at the two shadow guards and said.

"Yes, Lady Karin."

The two shadow guards bowed in response, and only after performing a deep salute to Menma did they carry the unconscious Gaara away.

Victory is the best catalyst.

Even if the people are still the same group, their mental outlook will undergo tremendous changes. Now, when the Light Ninjas go out, they carry an aura of power!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 504 Reunion with Erzhuzi

They successively defeated all five great ninja villages.

In the vast ninja world, who can rival them?! It can be said that almost all the Light Ninjas are dreaming of the day when their own ninja village will rule the world, and they believe that day is just around the corner.

After all, only Konoha Village is left, isn't it?

Moreover, it was a partially abandoned Konoha Village.

As long as their Lord Tianying leads them in one last assault, everything will be over.

"Has anything happened in Konoha these past two days?"

After the two shadow guards left, Menma sat down in his seat, looked at Karin who was handing him a stack of documents, and asked her a question while signing them.

Two days have passed since that great battle ended.

These past two days.

That was enough for the entire ninja world to know the news.

If things were more efficient, Konoha could make the corresponding military arrangements by now.

"There hasn't been any major movement. The troops that were originally planned to reinforce the front lines have all been withdrawn. Some strongholds have even been abandoned by Konoha."

Karin gently shook her head and said.

Such an arrangement.

It was Tsunade who gave the order the moment she received the news of the front-line defeat, which was already in such a terrible state.

There was no point in keeping the main force at the border; it would likely just be an easy kill for them. At that point, Tsunade was already prepared for mutual destruction, but she couldn't let the ordinary ninjas die needlessly. So she left only a few necessary scouts at the border.

"Is there no movement?"

His brow furrowed slightly.

But only for a second, Menma's brows relaxed. The situation was no longer something Konoha could control. This was not only because, through his battle with Might Guy, Menma had fully absorbed the last bit of the original power of that giant Tenseigan, completely completing his life level evolution.

To put it simply, it's not an exaggeration.

In terms of bloodline power, Menma might even be stronger than Hamura and Hagoromo now. If Menma could eat the maximized chakra fruit that Kaguya devoured, he could evolve into the most perfect Otsutsuki bloodline level.

To obtain the strongest power.

Even now, Menma is confident that he can go toe-to-toe with the Sage of Six Paths. You should know that since absorbing Shukaku's chakra, Menma has been trying to fuse the chakra of the nine tailed beasts within his body. There have been some subtle changes, but it seems that something is still missing.

But no matter what.
