The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

However, the fifth Kazekage, Maki, could only grovel before Chiyo.

His position as Kazekage was entirely due to Chiyo's promotion.

Not to mention the current group of little kids.

Every person had to suppress all their desires when faced with Chiyo's icy gaze.

At this moment, the burning desire in my heart completely cooled down.

Finally, these silly Sand Ninjas, who were able to look at the situation with reason and calmness again, truly realized how dangerous their Sand Village was now.

Just how terrifying are the enemies we need to face?

Still thinking of resisting?!

That's deadly.

Once a person dies, then truly nothing has any meaning anymore.

"Did you understand what I meant?!"

Chiyo lightly tapped the table and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, I understand!"

"Everything will be done as you wish, Lady Chiyo!"

"Yes, we understand!"

The Sand Ninjas all around quickly lowered their heads and responded.

Even the still somewhat unrealistic fantasies of Hatotaka, upon seeing the utterly indifferent gaze of Old Zang from Shanghai, couldn't help but shudder. He quickly nodded and replied, "I will obey Lord Chiyo's orders!"

"Yes, you all understand, that's good! Then carry out my orders! Remember, don't procrastinate, don't act recklessly, I don't have time to play along with your nonsense!"

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, they realized that the others had become quiet.

Chiyo's expression softened slightly, but she still gave the group a final warning: Sunagakure must ensure a smooth transition to guarantee the survival of as many people as possible!

Interests and such!

Those are all fleeting; survival is the most important thing.

Chapter 568 A Choice from the Heart

The attitude is the most obvious.

The Sand Village showed the most direct and sincere submission.

It was only a small step slower than those small ninja villages. Compared to Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, Sunagakure surrendered the fastest. Not only did it express its willingness to surrender unconditionally to Hikarigakure through official channels at the first opportunity, but the village also dispatched a delegation led by Ebizo, along with a few Jonin such as Hatotaka, all carrying information about Sunagakure's internal affairs and personnel, heading towards Hikarigakure's location.

Chiyo only had one sentence.

The goal is to ensure that the First Ame-kage accepts the surrender of Sunagakure as quickly as possible, and to send appropriate Hidden Light Ninja to Sunagakure to integrate the remaining Sunagakure ninja.

It should be said.

The moment Chiyo announced this order, almost everyone in Sunagakure breathed a sigh of relief.

They will resist to the death!?

For the so-called glory of Hidden Light Village!?

Do not make jokes.

In such a chaotic era, preserving one's own life is the most important thing. Don't forget that the so-called Five Great Ninja Villages have only been established for a little over sixty years. Even considering the average lifespan of a ninja, it can only be considered as two generations at most, or even more accurately from the perspective of ordinary people.

They can only be considered as one generation.

To say that there is a high degree of identification and belonging is not necessarily true.

In this world, awareness in this area is very weak. Even surviving has become a high aspiration; how can we expect ordinary people to have high levels of civility?

That's simply asking the impossible.

For people to know proper etiquette, they must have sufficient food and drink.

Unfortunately, even though Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Nations, it is the poorest of them all.

Now, the Hidden Light Village, under Menma's command, is at its zenith and has the power to completely sweep across the ninja world.

How could the ordinary people of Sunagakure possibly be willing to stand in their way?

If the war continues, the survival and safety of these ordinary people will be a huge problem. Even if we take a step back and assume that the Hidden Light Village has a high level of war awareness and does not affect ordinary people, for many people, there are relatives and friends who have become ninjas.

They also did not want to see their family members and friends die in battle.

Anyway, the glory of the ninja village has absolutely nothing to do with people like them at the bottom, so why bother struggling?

Surrender is their best and only way out.

In this situation, the masses still had sharp eyes, so the moment Chiyo's order was relayed, the entire Sunagakure village was in an uproar.

That's right!

It's boiling over.

It was as if surrendering was a great victory.

Chiyo stood before the large French windows, watching the villagers' excited and happy expressions of relief after surviving the disaster. This old woman, who had devoted herself to the village for decades, sighed silently in her heart.

'That's it, that's it. As long as you're alive, everything is alright.'

After Chiyo Yuuyu finished speaking, her face seemed to age even more, and her figure became even more hunched.

They are willing to surrender.

We must fight to the bitter end.

In fact, for Menma and for Hidden Light Village, it was completely irrelevant. With most of the most important hostile forces in the ninja world already wiped out, Hidden Light Village's unification of the ninja world was an inevitable trend. If the remaining people were willing to submit and cooperate with the subsequent takeover work, then everyone would be happy. But if they were not willing...

It wouldn't waste much of Menma's or Kogakure's strength and time.

Those who are ignorant of fate will have to pay the price in blood.

Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Sand Village, Hidden Rock Village, Hidden Cloud Village.

There wasn't much power left at all.

That day, after dealing with the tens of thousands of White Zetsu troops outside the village, Menma completely entrusted the task of integrating the four great ninja villages, or rather, annexing them, to Shibuki and Karin.

The only instruction given was that those who were sensible could have their demands relaxed and be given basic treatment and status, while those who were not sensible should simply be destroyed.

No mercy or tolerance is needed.

Now, all the power is in the hands of the Hidden Light Village.

They are now fully capable of implementing a hardline military and political strategy of 'those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish'!

Only in this way can a new nation with a complete order be established in the future.

Might makes right.

This statement is not absolute, nor is it applicable to all times, but in the current stage where the ninja world is approaching unification, it is 100% correct.

Let's not talk about anything else that's meaningless.

What the people want is very simple.

That is order, stability, and basic needs!

The best leader is one who can provide all of these things; the best country is one that the people will protect together.

Humans can be complex at times, and incredibly simple at others.

Menma also has great trust in Shibuki and Karin's abilities.

After explaining all of this.

Another task is to handle all the remaining miscellaneous matters in the village, such as handing over the handover work to some important Jonin from the four major ninja villages, including Tsuchidae and Iwazaki.

Mianma is with his whole family.

Sasuke and Itachi also traveled to Konoha Village together.

This time, the attendant did not follow.

Because he also had a more important task, which was to take Suigetsu and a portion of the Light Ninja forces before the integration of the ninja forces from the various ninja villages was completed, and to locate the remaining tens of thousands of White Zetsu.

It is worth mentioning that.

The control of the Gedo Mazo is currently in Menma's hands.

Because of obtaining Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

Menma had briefly transplanted these eyes before, and with his super vitality and current level of power, he can use them relatively freely, at least several times stronger than Obito and Nagato.

Controlling a mere Gedo Statue is no problem at all.

Menma hasn't decided how to deal with the Gedo Mazo yet, so for now, he'll form a summoning contract and deal with it when the time is right.

Menma could never do what Otsutsuki did, ruthlessly planting trees to absorb the energy of an entire planet to satisfy his own selfish desires.

However, if it's possible to use one's own enemy to nurture the Ten-Tails, Menma might consider it.

It's always good to be prepared, you never know when you might need it.

That's what Menma herself thinks.

The Land of Fire.

In the hinterland.

Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Menma and his group, who had been traveling at high speed, took two full days to reach the outskirts of Konoha Village due to their normal travel time.

"Konoha..."

In a seat to the side.

Itachi looked at the gates of Konoha Village, which were so close at hand, and a very complicated expression appeared in his eyes.

For this filial son of the Uchiha clan...
