The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

When Mount Myoboku is mentioned...

Menma was even more furious. In Menma's opinion, the toads of Mount Myoboku were an inferior species. Not to mention comparing them to the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest, even the white snakes of Ryuchi Cave were far superior to the toads of Mount Myoboku. At least they wouldn't do two-faced things, especially with their so-called prophecies.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

If the fate of a world can be predicted by a toad, then that world is truly both pathetic and laughable.

prophecy!?

This thing itself is full of irony.

If it weren't for the lack of free time.

Menma is now planning to grab his weapons and raid Mount Myoboku.

"I...I..."

Looking at his youngest son, who was completely outmatched.

Minato sighed inwardly. This was clearly a case of someone who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, had ideals but lacked a down-to-earth approach.

Otherwise, even if they lost the debate, they wouldn't have looked so bad.

There was absolutely no room for rebuttal.

In contrast, there is...

Minato was very pleased with his eldest son's performance. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it was clear that Menma had given it serious consideration, had genuinely looked at and analyzed the problem, and had come up with a relatively complete solution.

Just like the first time I met Menma in the spiritual world.

Shuimen wasn't actually very worried about what path his children would choose.

Whether they stay in Konoha or leave Konoha.

Minato values ​​Menma himself more.

Is it about making the right judgment in a rational and calm state of mind, rather than being consumed by hatred?

If it's the latter.

Minato is really going to intervene.

He didn't want his child to become a madman driven by hatred.

But now it seems to be the former.

Then Minato thought it was acceptable.

Not to mention, Minato thought Menma's words made a lot of sense. As someone who could succeed the Fourth Hokage, Minato's vision was far beyond that of ordinary people.

This refers to the special period when Konoha Village was first established.

While Minato's and Menma's views may differ to some extent, they also share many similarities.

"Mianma, may I ask you a few questions?"

Minato leaned forward slightly, looked at Mianma, and asked softly.

"Of course, Dad."

Mianma was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly in reply.

"Unifying the ninja world and merging ninja villages—I can see that you truly have a complete plan in place, not just a spur-of-the-moment decision or empty talk. But what I want to know is, how do you plan to handle things at the national level? You see, our current ninja world order is a dual-track system of one country and one ninja village. If you annex all the ninja villages, how will you deal with the daimyo and nobles at the national level?"

In Minato's view, the problems of the ninja village were actually quite easy to solve.

To put it bluntly, ninjas are just a bunch of guys who value strength above all else.

Whoever has the biggest fist can completely command respect. As long as Menma is strong enough, he can forcefully annex other ninja villages.

Hashirama and Madara proved this point back then. If Hashirama hadn't lost his mind, there would only be one ninja village in the entire ninja world now—Konoha.

However, one problem that arises from this is...

What should the country do?!

Although ninja battles are the main theme of this world, it doesn't mean that there are no battles between nations.

Otherwise, what are the standing armies of various countries just for show?

Were all those destroyed countries the work of ninjas?

Ninjas normally do not attack ordinary people, which is one of the prohibitions.

Therefore, different approaches are needed to address national issues.

Minato now wants to see how Menma deals with the daimyo and nobles, led by the five great nations.

Only if handled well can unification be possible; if handled poorly, even if the ninja villages are forcibly unified, many problems will inevitably arise in the future.

"I have also considered this issue. After the ninja villages merge, we can hold a world conference at the national level to form a super-large country. The daimyo of each country can join this country according to their previous status and establish a parliamentary group similar to the ninja village elders' council. All national affairs can be handled through this parliament. We can set a time limit to select one or more parliamentary representatives to exercise general power. The nobles and politicians below will then perform different positions, depending on the person and the situation. This is my initial idea. The specifics will depend on the actual implementation."

Menma took a deep breath and replied with a very serious expression.

"What if someone disagrees?"

Minato then asked, with a pointed remark.

“Then let’s find someone who can agree. This world is not short of ambitious people, especially those famous and noble people.”

Mianma replied without hesitation.

For those with freckles.

The real issue is the problems of the ninja village.

Those famous figures and nobles from those countries?

Menma didn't know what the people from other ninja villages thought, but Menma had absolutely no fear of them.

If they are willing to cooperate, then we can treat them well.

Those who are unwilling to cooperate.

Those with children should choose to have their children take the lead.

If there are no children, choose the closest relative to take their place.

I'll say it again: as long as the benefits are right, I don't believe there's anyone I can't handle!

Not to mention the ultimate means—violence!

Above all else, power.

This applies to any world and any era, let alone in a world with the extraordinary power of chakra. What can ordinary people use to defy ninjas?

To say that they're like eggs hitting a rock is an overestimation of their abilities.

"You're quite direct and assertive, aren't you? You're so tough."

Minato, of course, understood the deeper meaning behind Menma's words, and shook his head with amusement.

But the more this is the case, the more...

The more secure you are, the more reassured you are by the presence of hemp on the opposite side of the water gate.

Independent, decisive, and rational.

Moreover, it was the result of comprehensive consideration.

When children exhibit such behavior, parents are unlikely to nitpick.

"Now, I have one last question. Regarding the merger of ninja villages, what attitude will you take towards the people from other ninja villages, especially those who bullied you in the past, Menma?"

Chapter 523 Official Ultimatum

This is the last question raised.

This was clearly the issue that Minato valued most. Kushina, who was sitting on one side, also focused her gaze on her eldest son at this moment. Even Naruto, who had been looking down, subconsciously raised his head and stared intently at Menma.

This question is also very important to Naruto.

Although I'm not very willing to admit it.

But Naruto knew very well in his heart that he couldn't stop his older brother, whether in terms of strength or reason.

They were clearly suppressing him steadily.

Especially the latter, what Naruto himself had always firmly believed in has now been almost completely shattered by Menma.

With his beliefs already severely shaken, what can Naruto possibly use to stop Menma?

There's a saying that applies to the vast majority of people.

That is, the greatest sorrow is the death of the heart.

Especially for an idealist like Naruto, being less skilled than others is not the problem; the biggest problem is the collapse of his ideals.

It's important to understand that what happened just now wasn't just Menma's verbal attack; it was also during the moment when Naruto made eye contact with Minato and Kushina.

The unspoken attitude of his parents became the final, devastating blow to Naruto's heart.

From a bloodline perspective, the three people present were Naruto's closest relatives.

This is a fundamental negation.

If I can still pull through.

Naruto's willpower cannot be described as firm; it should be described as obsessive.

The reason Naruto was able to hold on until his last breath, without completely giving up, was simply because of that last bit of stubbornness deep within his heart.

Therefore, Naruto was also very concerned about Menma's attitude towards people from other villages, especially the remaining people in Konoha.

"Don't worry, Father, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Even those from Konoha, except for a very few, will be forgiven and treated equally as long as they give up futile resistance and choose to cooperate. For example, the prisoners from various ninja villages in this great war have already agreed to cooperate with me. You should know Shikaku-san well; he agreed to my proposal. In the upcoming great war, he will represent the Ino-Shika-Cho clan and completely surrender to me, joining Hidden Light Village. Taking this as an example, the remaining people from various ninja villages can be considered innocent if they resist once, but if they insist on resisting to the end during the subsequent persuasion, then there are only three words—no mercy!!"

Mianma nodded and said solemnly.

He also gave Naruto a meaningful look.

Kushina's heart clenched instantly.

"Mianma, who are these very few individuals you're referring to?"
