The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Mianma doesn't mind offering sweet treats and being magnanimous towards those who surrender, but he will also take strict measures to punish those who are stubborn and unyielding.

"Yes, Lord Menma."

"Please rest assured, Lord Ten'ying, we will cooperate fully with all the preparations."

Wuwei and Shikaku bowed in response at the same time. For Shikaku, in particular, it was a great blessing that the ninja clan could be preserved. He could understand any adjustments that needed to be made later. He couldn't control the others, but at least the Ino-Shika-Cho clan would cooperate 100%.

"Well, and then..."

To successfully annex a ninja village, there are many issues to consider, and personnel allocation is just one aspect; there are many other miscellaneous tasks to handle.

Although Menma can delegate as much authority as possible to Wuwei and others, when it comes to the most important matters, Menma still needs to personally oversee them. Even if he doesn't provide specific solutions, there must be a general outline, which is determined by his position and power.

It's impossible to do anything reckless.

While Menma certainly intends to reform the ninja village system in the future and establish a new, comprehensive system, for now, he must follow the steps taken in the past.

"These are the matters that need to be handled at present. I urge you all to take them to heart and handle them carefully. Even the smallest matter requires meticulousness and caution to avoid any mistakes. Do you understand?"

At this point, Mianma glanced at Wuwei, Yugao, and other members of his own group. As for Shikaku, Haiyi, and Zhiwei, who had surrendered, they would definitely be cautious and meticulous, because this was related to their own interests, and they certainly didn't want to see any unexpected situations arise.

If any link in this chain goes wrong, they will have to pay a price that they cannot afford.

Being alone is manageable; at worst, you just have to endure it a little longer, it's not completely unbearable.

However, if it were a ninja clan, even this small loss could have unpredictable consequences.

Not to mention people like Shikaku and Inoichi, who are almost impossible to make such basic mistakes. Menma doesn't need to explain too much. On the contrary, it's hard to grasp people's hearts when it comes to one's own side. It's not that they will outwardly comply with Menma's orders but inwardly disobey them, but that unnecessary deviations may occur in the specific operation.

For example, if one pays too much attention to the attitudes of the former Light Ninjas and subconsciously wants to favor the interests of their own people, errors or omissions may occur in the execution.

This is normal.

It is clear that facial numbness cannot be completely eradicated, but in general, it is still necessary to try to maintain a fair and reasonable pace.

Only in this way.

This is necessary to allow the ninjas from the various ninja villages to adapt to the environment and atmosphere of the new ninja village and accept their new identities.

This is a particularly important point.

Menma himself has given a one-year deadline!

He aims to initially eliminate the barriers between the major ninja villages within a year. He doesn't dare say that everyone will treat their former enemies as allies, but at the very least, he requires that they be able to face each other with a peaceful attitude.

You need to know that in future missions...

There will definitely be scenes where ninjas who originally belonged to different ninja villages carry out missions together.

If anyone still harbors resentment towards each other, or even if there's a personal grudge among the ninjas who went on the mission together, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot?

In that case, let alone a peaceful nation-state like Shinobi Village with great unity, Menma would probably be busy dealing with various internal conflicts every day, and that would still be considered a relatively stable situation.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a terrible situation.

We must nip any potential dangers in the bud from the very beginning, allowing the entire ninja village to smoothly and steadily enter the integration phase, and fully realize Menma's original plan for unification.

The ninja village has stabilized.

Only then will he have the ability and energy to solve national-level problems.

The world is indeed vast, but there are also far too many countries. While Menma certainly wouldn't dare claim that he could achieve the ideal of a world free from all conflict, he is confident that he can at least create a relatively harmonious and stable world.

The prerequisite is to resolve the numerous problems at both the ninja village and national levels.

Menma hopes that his companions and subordinates can fully understand the importance of this point.

Chapter 571 My thoughts are not clear.

"Yes, Lord Menma!"

Wuwei, Yugao, and the others could also hear the slightly warning tone in Mianma's words, so they immediately straightened up and replied loudly.

"Ah."

Seeing that these people had indeed taken his words to heart.

Mianma nodded in satisfaction.

Then he went over some details.

Wuwei, Yugao, Haiyi, Shikaku, and others then left one after another.

"Lord Hashirama, Lord Tobirama, that's about it for the village merger. If you have any further requests, please feel free to raise them, and I'll consider them as appropriate."

Menma turned to look at the other side, where Hashirama and Tobirama, the two former Hokage who had been almost completely silent except when Menma asked the question, asked again in a low voice.

This also shows Menma's basic respect for the two Hokage's senior status.

"Hehe, Mianma boy, you've made excellent arrangements. As for the village as a whole, we don't have any problems here. Oh, perhaps the only minor personal issue is that we need to discuss with you, Mianma boy."

Hashirama smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Tobirama to the side.

Tobirama nodded knowingly.

Then, he stepped forward and took out three scrolls from his pocket, handing them to Mianma.

The two brothers looked somewhat strange.

Mianma blinked and subconsciously took the three scrolls.

"What do you two mean by this?"

Mianma frowned and asked.

"Young man with pockmarked face, you'll understand once you take a look at what's inside."

Hashirama spoke with a slightly solemn expression.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and especially Hiruzen Sarutobi, who were standing behind Hashirama, all showed a somewhat unusual expression.

Mianma paused for a second or two, as if something had surfaced in his mind.

After thinking for a few seconds, he immediately unfolded the first scroll, almost the moment he saw its contents.

His pockmarked face immediately hardened!

The contents of the scroll were very simple.

That was practically a very simple and straightforward confession!

It was written from the perspective of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing not far away from him. Of course, the confession itself was not the main point. The most important part was his initiative to apply for the dismantling of the Sarutobi clan, his request to distribute the clan members to different remote areas of the ninja world, and his donation of almost all the clan's wealth, including ninjutsu, the most important asset of the ninja clan, to the ninja villages for collective use.

have to say.

When Menma saw this special scroll of confession, he was stunned for a moment.

"A brave man cuts off his own arm!"

This is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Mianma.

As mentioned before, in the five great ninja villages, not to mention ordinary people, even ninjas from ninja clans almost always receive fair and just treatment.

However, there are still a number of people who need to be severely punished.

Although the face is not a demon.

They won't actually use very bloody or excessive methods to punish those ninja clans and those people, but some basic measures and restrictions are still necessary.

Inside.

The Sarutobi clan is the first on the list.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was primarily responsible for the tragic circumstances he suffered in his childhood. Asuma Sarutobi could be considered the direct representative of the Sarutobi clan after Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, and he was killed by Menma.

Both in public and private terms.

Menma also has to take appropriate coercive measures against the Sarutobi clan.

The only difference is the timing and the intensity of the violence.

But no matter when or what methods are proposed, if Menma were to personally take charge, the Sarutobi clan would inevitably pay an extremely heavy price. However, if the Sarutobi clan were to propose it themselves now, they certainly wouldn't be able to control the situation, but they could still show their attitude.

As long as Menma isn't truly the kind of person who is extremely cruel.

The Sarutobi clan can at least catch their breath.

This is their intention, a blatant and overt demand, a calculated scheme.

It must be said that this was indeed a relatively clever move.

Upon seeing the contents of this scroll...

Mianma could almost guess what the contents of the other two scrolls were.

It was nothing more than the 'apologies' from the Mitomon and Utatane clans. Although the two clans were comparable to the Sarutobi clan, they were still considered medium-sized clans in Konoha.

Because of Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane's status as Hokage advisors, the two clans still hold a considerable share of the profits in Konoha.

When Mianma opened the two scrolls one after the other, sure enough, they contained almost the same content as the previous scroll.

However, in the last part of the scroll...

There was even content written in blood.

When Mianma saw it, he was stunned for a moment.

This part is essentially a confession from Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, clearly showing that they are willing to pay with their lives.

Even someone with a calm and composed demeanor like Mù felt a sense of incomprehension for a moment.

what?

This?

He committed suicide?

Was it truly voluntary? Or was it 'forced to volunteer'?

A strange look involuntarily appeared on Menma's face. He slightly raised his eyelids and looked at Tobirama Senju, who was standing nearby.

This Second Hokage of Konoha Village also seemed to be able to easily understand the meaning in Menma's eyes.

Without hesitation, he nodded and said, "Everyone needs to pay the price for their actions. Everything is for the sake of a more stable and harmonious order in the ninja village in the future. I believe Menma-kun will accept it, right?"
