The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The Land of Iron has maintained its unique position for over a thousand years, and now it wants to submit to a mere ninja village?!

How could I possibly accept that?

It should be said that even a highly respected leader like Mifune would find it difficult to suppress domestic opposition in one fell swoop. However, Mifune was, after all, the rightful leader of the samurai in the Land of Iron. He had been in power for many years and had cultivated a large number of confidants. It took a certain amount of time and effort, and paid a certain price in bloodshed, with the death of more than a hundred samurai as the result.

Mifune finally managed to forcefully unify the opinions within the Land of Iron, which relieved him. If things had continued to drag on, Mifune couldn't imagine how dire the situation would have been if the Hidden Village of Light had come to deal with their Land of Iron's problems.

Their Iron Kingdom finally arrived before the final wave of frenzy.

They formally submitted to Kogakure, and Mifune himself led the team to Kogakure. However, at that time, Menma had not yet returned to the village and was still dealing with relevant issues at the Three Holy Lands.

Karin, as the representative of the ninja village, accepted Mifune's surrender.

Needless to say, the Land of Demons is even more...

This is a rare country without any daimyo or other nobles in charge; the entire country is headed by a priestess.

There is only one person who possesses special powers: the priestess.

The timeline has reached the point of Konoha in 63 years.

The previous priestess of the Land of Demons has long since died, and the current priestess is the girl named Shion who appears in the movie version of the original work.

This young priestess can command the entire Land of Demons with a single order. Even though the people of the Land of Demons have a special kind of fear of this priestess, it does not contradict their desire to protect and obey Shion.

Especially the people of the Land of Demons who were chosen as guards were willing to pay the price of their lives to protect their priestess.

Therefore, when Shion, in the name of the priestess, directly issued the order that the Land of Demons shall henceforth submit to the Village of Light.

There was no opposition within the Land of Demons.

Upon returning to the village, Menma received the most accurate information from Karin immediately.

"Hehe, don't worry, Lord Mifune. Apart from joining the battle ranks of the Hidden Light Village and having to abide by the basic rules set by the Hidden Light Village, the samurai of the Land of Iron will remain the same as before. I can guarantee that."

In that spacious, private office of Tianying.

Menma looked at Mifune, who had arrived in Hidden Light Village a few days ago and hadn't left, waiting for Menma's return, and said with a smile.

"Yes, the warriors of the Land of Iron will naturally obey all of Lord Tenkage's orders and abide by all the basic rules of the village. Please rest assured, Lord Tenkage."

Even though Mifune was old enough to be Menma's grandfather, in this situation, he was clearly very respectful, bowing slightly in response.

Menma is now undoubtedly the number one ninja in the world.

Whether it's personal ability or status.

These are heights that others can never reach.

In such a world, the hierarchical order of superiors and inferiors is even more stringent and clearly defined.

Menma is now the leader of all the samurai in their Land of Iron, and one should have the appropriate etiquette and attitude when facing a leader.

"Hehe, Mr. Mifune, you're too kind. You should rest in the village for the next few days. We'll take our time with the rest of the work. There's no rush."

In the blink of an eye.

Mianma also changed the suffix of the name to make the relationship between them closer.

"Yes, Lord Tenkage."

Menma can be polite to show closeness, but Mifune must maintain a respectful demeanor.

"Ah."

Mianma has no intention of correcting this point. A country or a group does need to pay attention to this kind of issue. It's not that Mianma has any special requirements, but in such a world, this approach is actually conducive to the stability of social order.

It can bring a country into a true state of peace.

Mifune also deliberately paused in place for a moment, after seeing that Menma had given no further instructions.

"Then, Lord Tenkage, I must apologize for my rudeness."

Mifune bowed once more, and after Menma nodded in acknowledgment, he slowly retreated and left the office.

"He is a smart man. I heard that before he came, he had already taken the lead in suppressing the domestic opposition and personally led the team to our Guangyin Village against all odds."

Karin, who was standing to the side of Menma, turned to look at Menma after seeing Mifune leave, and said with a slightly sentimental expression.

Anyone who isn't blind can see the big picture.

But making a truly clear and concrete decision is not something everyone can do.

Greed blinds people!

This statement is a profound truth. How many people value interests, power, and status more than their own lives!

Such a crazy person.

There are plenty of them in any world, any dimension, and any era.

It's not surprising that people like them would make some kind of brain-dead judgment.

Therefore, under such circumstances...

We really need smart people like Mifune.

Otherwise.

The Land of Iron will inevitably be stained with blood. Menma has zero tolerance for fools who can't see the situation and are only thinking about their own interests.

"Ah, it's all thanks to the clever people in the ninja villages of various countries that we can save ourselves a lot of trouble and time. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time for everything to be settled!"

Mianma nodded slightly and said.

The time involved isn't just for eliminating the rebels; it also has to be considered that the Light Ninjas have killed too many people, and it will take even more time and effort to stabilize the situation afterward.

Moreover, it's not certain that many people will actually accept that.

Their own internal problems and Menma sending the Light Ninjas to handle them are two completely different things. Even if the outcome is similar in the end, the former will be more acceptable to people.

"Yes."

Karin nodded in agreement.

The more you get involved in similar work, the more you realize how many difficulties you will encounter.

One careless move and a small problem can easily escalate into a big one, or even lead to more small problems.

Of course, this is also because the philosophy currently believed by their Hidden Light Village is to peacefully annex other ninja villages as much as possible, and to integrate all forces that can be united. Otherwise, if they were to violently push forward, they wouldn't need to consider so many complex details.

While doing this might feel good initially, it will lead to many problems later.

It's better to be a little more complicated at the beginning than to make sure there are no problems with the later steps.

"Then there's the Land of Demons, Menma, do you really want to go there yourself? It's probably unnecessary, isn't it? A so-called demon that a priestess from a small country can suppress can't be that strong, right? Even if it's comparable to a regular tailed beast, wouldn't it be enough to send Mui-san, Muko, and Suigetsu? If you're really worried, why don't you send Toneri and the others? That should ensure everything is alright, right?"

Karin looked at Menma with a somewhat puzzled expression and asked.

The delegation from the Land of Demons arrived at Hidden Light Village earlier than Mifune and her group from the Land of Iron. Surrender was naturally the most important matter, but the delegation representative also made an additional request: their country's priestess wished that Menma could personally go there.

The reasons given were very vague.

It only talks about important matters related to the safety of the Land of Demons and the safety of the entire world.

Karin and the others were naturally confused and thought that the priestess from the Land of Demons was exaggerating.

Only Menma, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the shrine maiden was not lying, at least not to ordinary ninjas.

The demon called "Mouryou" that the priestess sealed away was indeed an extremely terrifying being, like a demon from hell.

The undead legion under the command of Wangliang does indeed possess the power to annihilate the five great nations in their normal form.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise of forces that are 'conventional'.

In the original story, Naruto needed the special power of the priestess to directly destroy this generation of demons.

However, the current Mianma can easily cut the demons apart using Yin-Yang Escape!

Empirical evidence is not required.

Mianma has that kind of confidence.

Just as Karin said, the problem could be easily solved by having one of Toneri, Sasuke, or Naruto make the trip. Menma decided to make the trip himself because of the power of the demon, which seemed to be able to affect others as well.

Therefore, Mianma needs to make a trip in person to verify it.

"Well, that ghost might not be really strong, but it has its own unique characteristics. I have some guesses that I need to verify myself, including that priestess. She seems to have a special power."

Mianma smiled slightly and said.

"I think the main problem is that priestess, Menma?"

Karin crossed her arms and looked at Menma with a hint of suspicion; she had a very bad feeling about it.

They all had a distinct, slightly sour smell permeating the air.

Menma was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and patted Karin's head. "Girl, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about something very serious. Okay, if you're really worried, I can take you with me, alright?"

Menma really didn't expect that Karin would be jealous of a girl she had never met before.

While the Shion Shrine Maiden in the original work is indeed a rare beauty, Menma is not the kind of person who is 'philanthropic'. In fact, if Karin hadn't been there for him all these years, the two might not have developed feelings for each other that went beyond friendship.

Mianma has always been a person who prioritizes reason over emotion.

But there's no time to really care about too many romantic things.

"Oh? Ah? I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything by it."

Mianma suddenly exposed his inner thoughts.

Karin's face also showed a hint of embarrassment. She pushed up her black-rimmed glasses somewhat unnaturally, changed the subject, and her eyes wandered off into the distance.

This made Mianma laugh even harder.

This girl in his family...

"However, this matter still needs to be postponed. We can't go now. There's another more important place we need to go to as well, and the round trip will probably take longer. So, before we set off, we need to take care of some more important things. Karin, have the notes to the daimyo of various countries been sent out?"

With a slightly raised eyelid, he spoke seriously.

The problems in the ninja world have been resolved, so the next step is to address the issues at the national level.

All the major ninja villages have been unified.

There is no reason to keep so many countries alive, which is also one of the causes of war!

"Yes, it has been sent out as you requested, and it will be sent out in the morning five days from now."
