The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Yes, Xiao Gang, you must do as your second grandfather said. If there is no signal here, you must not do anything reckless, understand?"

Hashirama nodded slightly, then looked at Tsunade as if still worried and said another word.

“I know, Grandpa.”

Tsunade nodded again, seemingly a little helpless.

In front of ordinary people, Tsunade has a fiery temper. Even when facing her own teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade did whatever she wanted.

It can be placed in front of the pillars or doors.

Tsunade is such a good girl.

If I say east, I will never go west.

"So..."

"First Generation Lord, Second Generation Lord, please come along with me."

Just as Hashirama and Tobirama were about to set off.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting to one side, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a very serious tone.

"I bear the greatest responsibility for what happened back then. I have the obligation and responsibility to explain and apologize to Menma in person, regardless of whether Menma can accept it or not. I should do so."

While it's true that the elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have much of a sense of responsibility, he certainly wasn't the kind of character who became completely sinister like Danzo. If Hiruzen Sarutobi were truly a dark being like Danzo, he wouldn't have gained so much support and admiration in the vast Hidden Leaf Village, and his prestige wouldn't have been so high.

Ultimately, he was an old man whose nature was perfectly fine; he was simply someone whose mind and personality developed serious problems as he aged.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could clearly see how dangerous the situation his village was facing.

And the culprit behind all of this can almost be said to be himself.

If I hadn't had that sudden, impulsive idea back then, and had simply raised Menma and Naruto together normally, openly stating that Menma was also the son of the Hokage, things might not have turned out this way today.

You have to pay the price for your own mistakes.

therefore.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew that his youngest son had also died on the battlefield fighting against Hidden Light Village.

But for the safety and interests of the village.

He had to accept all of this, regardless of how much his words might have an effect; at least he had to do it.

Tobirama stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi. The two locked eyes, and finally, a faint smile appeared on Tobirama's face as he slowly nodded and said, "Then, monkey, you can come with us."

It's not all that bad after all.

Tobirama thought to himself.

Compared to the other three traitors, at least Hiruzen Sarutobi barely managed to avoid breaking Tobirama's last line of expectations.

However, if the successor I chose could always be so responsible, there wouldn't be so many troubles at all.

It can only be said that all of this was destined.

Tobirama sighed silently to himself.

"Then let's go! Let's go see that boy with the face like a demon in the modern ninja world, hahaha!"

Hashirama laughed heartily.

"boom!"

An extremely strong chakra aura erupted from his body, and in a flash, he disappeared.

Tobirama, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other two also flashed away simultaneously, rushing towards the location of the Valley of the End.

Only Tsunade, Jiraiya, Sakumo Hatake, and the others remained on the spot.

In the queue at the back.

Shikamaru stared intently in the direction where Hashirama and the others had left, his usually lazy gaze now replaced by an unwavering and cold intensity.

But beneath this seemingly infinitely rational exterior lies...

Hidden within is a deep, insane hatred.

'Father, I will definitely avenge you!'

He was, after all, a fifteen-year-old boy.

He was also a teenager who thought he had lost his father.

His anger needed to be vented.

Even if there is an abyss ahead, Shikamaru will step into it without hesitation, which directly proves that the so-called mutual understanding between people is so insignificant in the face of interests and hatred.

Violence is not the only means of resolving all disputes, much less the best one.

It would definitely be the simplest and most effective method.

Do you want peace?

Then we must end all disputes with force and suppress all dissent with violence. The prerequisite for winning people's hearts is to make them submit willingly!

And that was exactly when the Konoha side arrived at the agreed location.

In the opposite direction of the Valley of the End.

Menma also led Toneri, Mugou, Shikaku, Utakata, Muwei, and his army of three or four thousand Light Ninja into the Land of Fire.

'They've arrived ahead of schedule? Three chakra auras: Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi!'

At a time when we were only a few dozen miles away from the End Valley.

Menma could easily detect the powerful chakra aura emanating from the Valley of the End.

Two unfamiliar yet incredibly terrifying fluctuations.

It's obviously the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama.

The other chakra, though considered very powerful by the standards of the Five Kage, exuded an aura of extreme old age, and it felt incredibly familiar to Menma.

It must be that Third Hokage.

In a more remote area...

Menma could also faintly detect a large number of chakra fluctuations.

"Heh, so you really intend to have a talk? That's interesting."

Mianma chuckled and shook his head.

"What's wrong, Lord Menma? Has the enemy attacked ahead of schedule? I'll order preparations for battle immediately."

Wugou, who was sitting nearby, suddenly heard Menma laugh out loud and immediately asked a question.

Wugou thought that Menma had detected the attack by Konoha Village.

Despite the apparent agreement between the two sides to negotiate, they did not agree to any peace talks.

Not only was their own Lord Tenkage prepared for war from the very beginning, but more importantly, Wugou, who was deeply influenced by Karin in this regard, truly did not think that these so-called five great nations had any sense of contractual obligation.

The previous major battles are the best proof of this.

Their repeated proactive attacks and even their breach of the treaty are the best examples of their actions.

"Hehe, no, it's just that our guests were already waiting for us."

Mianma smiled and waved his hand.

"Pass down the order: everyone stop. Then notify your father and Lu Jiu-san to come over."

Mianma continued.

"Yes, Lord Menma."

Wu Gou immediately lowered his head in response, and in a flash, he turned and left.

Mianma stood still, gazing in the direction of the Valley of the End, a peculiar look in his eyes.

'The Valley of the End, after all the twists and turns, everything ultimately comes to an end here. It truly lives up to its name as a plot point.'

Mianma murmured to himself.

Chapter 533 The Beginning

Not long after.

With Menma's order, the main force of the Light Ninja halted its advance and, in accordance with the corresponding orders, took up positions in batches. The air combat units in the sky also dispersed to carry out guard duties.

Since the advent of air combat units.

Most reconnaissance and patrol missions fall to air combat units, which is easier and more comprehensive than for ground troops.

Unless one possesses exceptional stealth abilities, it's virtually impossible to evade the aerial combat forces' search. Under Menma's instructions, the new equipment manufactured by their Hidden Light Village includes not only weapons but also instruments similar to radar from Menma's previous life. The only difference is the addition of sensory techniques, allowing this radar to more easily detect a ninja's chakra fluctuations.

Aerial view, radar search.

When the two are combined.

Let alone ordinary ninjas, even Kage-level beings would not be able to break through such a defensive layer and launch a sneak attack on the Hidden Light Village's forces.

There are no other cheat codes.

In this aspect of 'ability,' Mianma needs to learn and apply it flexibly. As long as she has a little idea, Mianma will put it into action and test its specific effects in actual combat.

Then we'll consider whether to further promote it.

Some of these ideas were obviously useless, but a significant portion of them greatly enhanced the military strength of the Hidden Light Village.

To put it bluntly.

Even without considering the power of Menma and Toneri, the power that Hidden Light Village can unleash now, with the tailed beasts back to their previous equal state, is at least on par with the original Hidden Sand Village. It can rightfully be called the Sixth Great Country.

All of this was caused by the hemp.

This is why the ninjas and ordinary people of Hidden Light Village (formerly Hidden Takigakure and Hidden Grass Village) have such faith in and respect for Menma, not only because of Menma's strength, but also because of the stability and benefits he brings.

Humans are grateful beings, and they are also incredibly pragmatic.

The fact that Madara Uchiha was unable to take the Uchiha clan with him when he left Konoha is the best example of this.
