The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Yes, Second Generation Lord."

"Yes! I understand!"

The members of the various ninja clans below also received the order one by one.

The troop strength must be allocated reasonably. The conscription orders that Tobirama conveyed this time were all arranged according to actual orders. Although nearly 10,000 combat troops were wiped out at the front line, a small number of personnel escaped and returned.

If Konoha were to be fully exploited and unleash its full potential, it would be a formidable force.

We can still muster 14,000 to 15,000 combat troops.

But this includes children under ten years old, as well as some ninjas who had retired for various reasons.

However, these people were completely outside Tobirama's recruitment scope.

They are unlikely to contribute any value or significance to the upcoming battle; they are cannon fodder. But that depends on the situation. If they are arranged haphazardly, it is very likely that people will die without achieving any results.

Tobirama is an ultimate realist strategist.

Everything depends on whether the value is equivalent.

He is a leader who maintains the highest level of rationality and composure at all times. In this respect, Tobirama is much better than his older brother.

Judging solely from the qualities of a leader.

There's no comparison between the two brothers.

Tobirama knew all too well what Konoha needed in this situation.

Under the order, the ninjas from various clans who were conscripted perfectly demonstrated the principle that quality is more important than quantity in warfare.

Even if all personnel were recruited, the total number would not exceed three thousand. However, among these three thousand people, the lowest level would be someone with the corresponding skills at the Chunin level.

In peacetime, they are squad leaders who can absolutely serve as the backbone of the team and lead them on missions.

It can be said.

With the prestige of the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers, all the major ninja clans have truly brought out all their resources, especially the Hyuga clan. This time, Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the main branch, will also be going to battle.

This is a crucial battle where victory is not an option.

"All of the above, everyone must complete the integration within two days, understand!?"

Tobirama spoke in a solemn voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded loudly at the same time.

Then.

At Tobirama's signal, representatives from various ninja clans, including Hiashi and Suzaku, left in twos and threes. Two days is neither a long nor a short time, but it is necessary to be efficient in order to prepare for the battle and gather all the necessary personnel.

This is especially true for larger ninja clans such as the Hyuga, Aburame, and Ino-Shika-Cho.

Rizu needs to consult with the senior elders of the clan.

Suzaku also had to mobilize the power of the three ninja clans.

With Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza all absent, Suzaku was the only one most qualified to represent the three ninja clans.

And it was right when Suzaku left the Hokage Building and returned to the Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, whose territories were almost adjacent to each other.

"Uncle Suzaku".

It is located at a corner.

Shikamaru, dressed in Konoha's standard vest, was already waiting there. On either side of him, Choji and Ino stood with resolute expressions.

"I want to join the fight!"

Before Zhuque could say anything...

Shikamaru spoke with a resolute expression.

"We want to join the war too! Uncle Suzaku!"

Ino and Choji both spoke in unison, their faces filled with determination.

The bloodshot eyes were still clearly visible, proving that the three little ones hadn't slept well these past two days and had even had a good cry.

My father died in battle.

This is something that no normal person could accept.

Even someone as precocious as Shikamaru is no different.

To avenge his father.

This was the only thought in the minds of the three children at this moment. Just like in the original story, when Asuma died at the hands of Kakuzu and Hidan, even without the help of others, Shikamaru and the others still wanted to seek revenge on Kakuzu and Hidan.

Right now, Shikamaru and his two companions are only thinking about taking revenge on Menma.

Therefore, never talk about empathy or mutual understanding between people.

Leaving aside saints and saints, the general public has always believed in a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment!

"Hey, you three..."

Suzaku looked at Shikamaru and the other two with a helpless expression. Deep down, he still hoped that the next generation would fight. In Tobirama's arrangements, he basically preferred the combat power of the major ninja clans who were around 20 years old.

It's not that I think the chances of winning are slim.

Even if they win this battle, it will inevitably be a battlefield where they have to pay an extremely heavy price.

Based on previous intelligence, Tobirama could make a fairly accurate judgment that Uzumaki Menma was definitely a terrifying existence who was no less than his own Aniga, and might even have surpassed him. Not to mention the remaining eight tailed beasts. No matter what methods they used, the opponent was able to make the tailed beasts willingly cooperate and perfectly unleash their power the moment they captured them.

Such a terrifying fighting force.

We must block it, we must take it down.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

In order to preserve the lineage of the ninja clans, Tobirama would tacitly allow underage clan members, even those with exceptional talent and extraordinary individual strength, to not go to the front lines. Tobirama's magnanimity, methods, and overall perspective far surpassed those fools of the Konoha F4.

He knew all too well the relationship between the ninja village and the ninja clan.

They also gained a clearer understanding of how, as a shadow, they should lead this force.

The leaders or representatives of the major ninja clans, led by Hiashi and Suzaku, shared the same view: those clan members under the age of 20 with outstanding talent should not participate in the war. In this way, no matter what the outcome, these ninja clans could preserve the flame of their resurgence.

This is the shared wisdom that any group in any dimension or world would inevitably possess.

Even the warlike Uchiha were no exception.

Oh, except for the Kaguya clan.

That race, it should be said, has nothing in their bones except the gene for madness.

Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji are undoubtedly the most outstanding representatives of the next generation of the three ninja clans, not only because of their identities, but also because of their talents. Without exaggeration, all three of them are basically capable of growing into relatively excellent Jonin.

If Choji had perfectly mastered all the Akimichi clan's secret techniques and prepared the secret medicine, it wouldn't be entirely impossible for him to unleash a brief burst of near-Kage level strength, or even Kage-level gatekeeper strength, like Choza and Torifu.

Suzaku truly did not want to see the three of them go to the front lines.

But he also knew very well that he couldn't convince the three of them. Putting aside their responsibilities as ninjas of Konoha, which was too vague, they, as children, had their own obligations to fulfill.

That is the responsibility to avenge my father.

This is a choice that any ordinary human being would make under the influence of ordinary emotions.

That choice called hatred.

Interests and hatred.

This is a knot that humanity can never untie, and the key reason why humanity can never understand each other.

“I understand your determination. I can allow it and take you to the front lines, but you must follow orders, especially you, Shikamaru. The enemy is no longer the enemy under normal circumstances, nor is it the same person you know. I believe you should understand what I really mean by this.”

Suzaku looked at Shikamaru and the other two with a solemn expression and spoke.

"Yes, Uncle Suzaku, I understand. All three of us are prepared for the consequences."

Shikamaru, completely devoid of his usual lazy demeanor, nodded emphatically with the same serious and solemn expression.

"Yes, don't worry, Uncle Suzaku, we will definitely follow your orders."

"Yes, Uncle Suzaku, we know very well!"

Ino and Choji, who were on either side, also replied together.

"Let's go then, every step from here on out is very important!"

Zhuque nodded slightly.

After saying this, Suzaku led the way towards the clan's encampment, with Shikamaru and the other two following closely behind.

The same scene.

It was also at the same time.

This phenomenon unfolded successively among various ninja clans.

Those former "classmates" with pockmarked faces are now filled with hostility and hatred towards them.

Not everyone can be as 'saintly' as Naruto, forgiving the enemy who killed their teacher and parents.

No, it should even be said that Naruto's existence and his choices are extremely rare exceptions.

Murder pays off lives, debts pay off.

This is a matter of course.

Having already convinced themselves that Menma killed their father, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Shino, and the others are determined to avenge their father!

This is their decision.

Please take one day off.

As the title suggests, today is the eve of the Lunar New Year. I've been running around all day and only managed to squeeze in some writing. I thought I could finish it tonight, but a friend invited me to play cards, so I'm really sorry, I have to take a day off. Please forgive me, fellow readers!
