The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The problem of facial numbness.

Tsunade always felt that while it was important, it would definitely be resolved. With Jiraiya and Naruto around, Menma would return sooner or later, just like in the original story, she believed that Naruto could solve Sasuke's problem and kept suppressing the official announcement that Sasuke was a rogue ninja.

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way Tsunade had hoped.

Jiraiya died.

Naruto has been captured.

The village was about to disappear into the long river of history. All of this happened in a short period of time. Even now, Tsunade still feels like she's in a dream. But even in a dream, there is a day when you wake up.

Now is the time for her to face reality.

everything is over.

I should try to leave as gracefully as possible.

"Grandma Tsunade..."

Naruto, who was sitting to the side, saw Tsunade, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I understand. Naruto, go see Tsunade off. You two probably have something to say to each other. After that, you'll stay by my side. I'll show you what true peace is."

Menma looked at Naruto and said, word by word.

Everyone else was indifferent, but Menma was absolutely determined to prove Naruto right. He wanted to show Naruto just how naive and innocent the so-called peaceful world of mutual understanding between people that he, Jiraiya, and the First Hokage had described was.

Peace and stability require a down-to-earth approach to achieve.

Instead of just fantasizing!

This is clearly a resolute determination that can be heard.

Naruto gave his older brother a deep look, then slowly but firmly nodded and replied, "Even if you didn't say it, I would still do it. I've already told Mother that if one day it turns out you're wrong, then I'll stop you no matter what! At that time, you don't need to have any worries, because this is my ninja way!"

A unique, resolute glint flashed in Naruto's eyes.

Anyway.

At least in terms of perseverance, Naruto truly deserves to be the protagonist of a shonen manga; he's practically the standard.

"Hehe, don't worry, you won't have that chance. Go ahead."

With a numbed expression, he spoke calmly.

"That's hard to say. Let's go, Granny Tsunade. I have a lot to tell you!"

Naruto, not to be outdone, glared back at Menma. After saying this, he turned to Tsunade, who was standing to the side, and said something that showed a hint of relief.

For Tsunade right now.

Naruto, who looks just like her younger brother, is her only solace.

You can see that Naruto is still the same Naruto.

Tsunade was truly satisfied.

However, Tsunade also made up her mind that she would give Naruto a good talk later. No matter what happens in the future, as long as it's not something that will anger the heavens and the people, he should not completely break up with Menma. That would not be good for either of them.

Mutual support and assistance is what these brothers should do most.

"Okay, let's go, Naruto."

Naruto and Tsunade left one after the other.

Mianma also gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

That's where things stand.

It's finally time to declare this a real conclusion.

With Konoha Village now stable, other ninja villages have even less to worry about.

To put it bluntly...

The next ninja world belongs to Hidden Light Village, to Menma's ninja world.

Once all the problems of the major ninja villages have been sorted out and fully integrated, Menma will then begin to address issues at the national level.

He doesn't need so many countries on this planet.

However, the specific handling methods should be carefully considered, and we must not act rashly or recklessly.

Especially when it comes to those daimyo and nobles who have prestige, popular support, and whose countries are developing well overall, Menma absolutely cannot take coercive measures.

That would actually have the opposite effect.

It is an extremely unwise approach.

A basic exchange of interests must still be made; a qualified, or even outstanding, leader should possess such political acumen and various basic abilities.

"Sasuke, Itachi, now that there's no one else here, I need to formally ask you both. The Uchiha clan is down to just the two of you. I know that Sasuke's goal has always been to rebuild the Uchiha clan. Do you plan to place the clan's headquarters at the Hidden Light Village, or return here, to this village where you've lived for so many years?"

Menma turned to look at Sasuke and Itachi sitting to the side, and asked with a very serious expression.

"A ninja clan's base?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself.

Itachi, sitting to the side, also lowered his head slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Itachi didn't really care about being from the same clan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to exterminate his clan back then. In his eyes, only his younger brother Sasuke was the most important. He just wanted to see Sasuke become stronger, get married, and have children.

The Uchiha clan is gone, so be it.

But Sasuke clearly couldn't do it.

This life is also very different from the original work. In the original work, Erzhuzi clearly forgot or felt that this goal was no longer important.

He went straight to wander the entire ninja world.

I haven't even been home much.

In this life, Sasuke still wants to rebuild the Uchiha clan.

That was his goal, and his obsession.

My younger brother persisted.

Then Itachi would definitely not object. As long as it's something Sasuke wants to do, Itachi would support and follow him 100%. After all, in terms of status, Itachi is now a sinner, someone who needs to atone for his sins.

"Let's go back to Hidden Light Village. Everything here is over. There's no need to stay in such a place. The Uchiha clan doesn't belong here, and I don't like it here either."

After only a short while of thinking about it.

Sasuke then raised his eyelids, looked directly at Menma, took a deep breath, and said.

Konoha is a place of deep sorrow for Sasuke, and he truly doesn't want to stay there any longer. Although some people will be reassigned, most of the original inhabitants will remain in Konoha. Under such circumstances, how did the Uchiha clan manage to re-establish themselves here?!

Is this even possible?!

Even without other problems, Sasuke himself couldn't accept it.

Let's leave here.

not to mention.

Sasuke, from his heart, definitely wanted to be closer to Menma.

Especially after that Byakugan kid appeared, Sasuke felt an incredibly strong sense of competition.

Chapter 574 The Stallion Future Belonging to Itachi

Therefore, for Sasuke...

Returning to the current headquarters of Hidden Light Village is the most suitable choice. Another important objective reason is that in the future unified nation and ninja village, the existing headquarters of Hidden Light Village will definitely be the newest political and military core area.

Even if its geographical location is not as advantageous as that of a village formerly known as Konoha, and its economic conditions are currently far inferior, as long as those in power are willing to develop it, it is only a matter of time before the order is reversed. Moreover, the location of Hidden Light Village is also in the central part of the continent, and all that is needed is to completely solve the transportation problem.

It can also become a center of the world economy.

From this perspective...

The new Uchiha clan headquarters should be set up in Hidden Light Village.

Sasuke's ambition is to restore the Uchiha clan's former glory, or even elevate it to a higher level; such a choice is self-evident.

"Well, that's fine. Anyway, once everything is over, the village will definitely need to be redesigned and expanded. You and Itachi can choose a suitable place for yourselves. Let's just go with the basic scale for now. After all, the development of a ninja clan takes time. Of course, if you two brothers work hard day and night, then this time can be shortened."

Menma first nodded with a very serious expression, then, clearly thinking of something funny, he looked at Sasuke and Itachi with a playful smile and said.

To be honest, for a two-person Uchiha clan, even a detached house is already considered very luxurious.

However, considering future development, it is still necessary to plan the approximate area of ​​the ninja clan's base in advance.

This is based on the current trend.

There's no need to divide it into too many areas. A ninja clan needs people to be a clan, right?

In other words, Sasuke and Itachi must keep getting married and having children in order to shorten the development time of the ninja clan as much as possible, even if we take the age of 12 as an example of graduating from the ninja academy and becoming a genin.

The Uchiha clan wants to return to its former glory as a large and populous society.

It will take at least several decades.

It all depends on whether Sasuke and Itachi try hard enough.

The second half of the sentence about the hemp-colored face.

This caused Sasuke and Itachi's expressions to become unnatural. Even the latter was only five or six years older than Menma and Sasuke. When it came to marriage and having children, it was still beyond Itachi's knowledge and ability.

"Well, then this should be given to Zuo..."

Itachi coughed twice, about to say something about when.

"Ah, I understand, Menma. This is Itachi's mission, the atonement he must perform!"

Sasuke, who was sitting to the side, stepped forward first, his expression clearly unwavering, and spoke in a deep voice with unyielding determination.

"what?"

This completely stunned Itachi, who was standing to the side.
