The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Mianma's words further clarified his attitude.

As for what are the unshakeable principles and what are the negotiable points.

That means it's in Mianma's own hands.

These five daimyo could clearly understand this point. Having served as monarchs for so many years, they had used such methods many times before. In this respect, they were the true masters.

Menma understands this very well, so he doesn't beat around the bush at all. Apart from some things that are not suitable to be said outright, everything else is laid out very clearly. What matters is where the bottom line is between each other. Currently, it seems that Menma has an advantage in all aspects!

Mianma can gauge the bottom line of these famous figures.

However, the daimyo need to be wary of, or even fear, the power wielded by Menma. If they anger him, he will turn his back on them without hesitation, and they will have to pay the price with their lives!

Their willingness to attend this meeting already indicates that their attitude is quite clear, and Mianma has grasped this point.

"That's true, but isn't it a bit too hasty to establish a country and change everything from the past? Especially the personnel changes. I think we should discuss it some more."

After pondering for a moment, the daimyo of the Land of Earth looked at Menma and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Your Excellency Tianying, I also feel that making so many adjustments all at once is too unconventional and could easily lead to problems. Could we slow down the pace a bit? Let's just merge them into one country for now, adjust the location, and then see how things go later?"

The daimyo of the Land of Wind spoke with a gentle tone.

"Of course, we have no problem with the other terms, and everything can be carried out according to Lord Tianying's opinion."

If someone has to play the bad cop, then someone else has to play the good cop.

The central idea is undoubtedly the clearest one: this gathering is absolutely about establishing a unified nation, and none of the five daimyo would raise any objections to this.

Chapter 588 The Unparalleled Success of the Conference

The situation is better than people.

They had no choice but to bow their heads.

The fact that they came here to participate in this gathering already indicates their acceptance of the idea of ​​establishing a unified nation. The only difference is the internal allocation of positions. The best outcome would be a change in name only, with governance divided into regions within a single nation. These daimyo and nobles would at most change their titles and continue to maintain their rule by paying a certain price. At most, there would be an additional figure like Menma at the top, which would change the previous pattern of the nation ruling over ninja villages.

Anyway, it's all going to be this kind of format.

These famous figures certainly wouldn't care about such empty titles anymore.

But even so.

It has to be an extremely optimistic prediction.

The five daimyo had a certain degree of self-awareness, knowing that the probability of reaching such an outcome was infinitely close to zero, and that their status and power would definitely change. However, they really did not expect it to unfold in such a dramatic way, with no guarantee whatsoever for their status and power.

The benefits still come at a high price.

"Hehe, that's not how you see it. Your Highnesses, it's precisely because we are in a time of great change that we need to carry out sweeping reforms. Cutting through the Gordian knot is the most appropriate approach. After all, some people can't keep up with the times and are only immersed in the past. Such people will only become parasites of the times. If we still let them control the pace, I think that's a mistake. What do you think, Your Highnesses? The garbage of the times should be swept away completely."

A faint, sharp glint flashed in Mianma's eyes—a deliberately released, extremely subtle hint of murderous intent.

Even under extreme control, this killing intent was less than one ten-thousandth of what it was, but the five daimyo opposite them had all lived a life of luxury for many years and had never faced such a situation before.

"Mianma" is practically a blatant threat.

This also made the faces of the five daimyo turn very ugly.

Of course, relentless pressure will definitely provoke a strong backlash. After giving the five daimyo a small warning not to challenge his bottom line, Menma changed the subject and continued with a smile: "However, we can indeed discuss some specific details. There are the dregs of an era and the elites of an era. But we need to analyze specific issues on a case-by-case basis and see what abilities each person has and what kind of contribution they can make!"

It was a very clear step of voluntarily backing down, but also a blatant declaration of a deal.

Do you want to gain a higher status and power?

That depends on how cooperative you are. Those who are innocent and sensible can continue to shine in the blueprint of the new country. Those who are mired in the quagmire and are deliberately rebellious, then there is nothing to say. Sweeping away these scum is the responsibility of our times!

Mianma has already made it very clear.

Their attitude is laid bare before us.

This meeting, which didn't completely condemn anything, left room for discussion and debate.

It truly left the five daimyo feeling helpless and distressed; without power, they were truly at the mercy of others.

'Let's leave it at that. At least we've secured some benefits, haven't we?'

At this moment.

The five daimyo simultaneously had similar thoughts.

Menma's small setback became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the five daimyo. At least they could comfort themselves that their joint efforts had yielded some results.

Although it's still not very clear where the specific results are.

However, humans are such creatures that they can absolutely convince themselves if there is a plausible reason.

No one else is needed to help.

Their self-adjustment ability is just that strong.

It is euphemistically called: following one's heart.

"Yes, Lord Tianying is right."

That is indeed the case.

"yes..."

After a brief silence and a glance at each other, the daimyo successively agreed to Menma's conditions.

"Hehe, I knew that Your Highnesses must be very righteous!"

Mianma smiled slightly and said, unsurprised.

Shikaku and Tsuchida, who were in the back, exchanged a glance, and their slightly tense nerves slowly relaxed.

The central idea can be agreed upon.

Then the progress of subsequent issues will become incredibly smooth.

Besides their own families, Menma also needs to personally negotiate with the five daimyo, as well as some of the more important nobles in the five countries. For example, the Shima family in the Land of Fire, whose members have held positions of Minister of the Interior or above for hundreds of years, are the most steadfast confidants of the daimyo of the Land of Fire. The daimyo of the Land of Fire is determined to secure corresponding benefits for them. The same applies to the other four countries.

There aren't many noble families like this, but there are still about a dozen or so. Menma still needs to give these daimyo some face, but only if it doesn't conflict with his previous principles. If any of these nobles commit heinous acts, Menma will definitely deal with them.

Even the slightest tug-of-war represents enormous profits.

The meeting lasted for four or five hours, until late at night. The five daimyo, looking extremely tired but also relatively satisfied, left the meeting room under the guidance of servants specially arranged by Menma, and returned to their respective residences.

"Ah! This meeting was really tiring. It was more exhausting than a battle."

After the daimyo left, Menma stretched his neck and said with a tired expression.

It's effortless, but mentally taxing.

This can be considered as Menma's own doing. If they want to minimize deaths and achieve a peaceful transition, they have to go through this process.

"I thought those daimyo would be more assertive, but it seems our terms were still above their expectations?"

After brewing Menma another cup of tea, Karin, who was standing nearby, casually massaged Menma's shoulders while speaking in a tone that seemed to carry a hint of regret.

"Hehe, it's not like that. The conditions we proposed were actually lower than their expectations. However, these expectations refer to their overall bottom line. From their own perspective, the conditions we offered were relatively acceptable. And the most important point is that in this negotiation, it's not that we are afraid of the other side, but that the other side is worried about us turning our backs throughout the entire process. The initiative has always been in our own hands."

Mianma smiled slightly and said.

It is precisely because Menma is tolerant that she wants to reduce conflict and increase peace in the world so that a new world order can be established more quickly. Otherwise, Menma would not have done this.

In his previous life, he was someone who was born to hate trouble the most.

Everything in this life, I would say, was half voluntary and half forced upon me.

"Too."

Karin nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, now that the main structure is set, there won't be any problems later. The rest of the organization work is up to you. Karin, I'll also trouble you two, Shikaku-san and Tsuchida-san, to assist Karin and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Mianma paused for a moment, then continued.

"Ah, I know, noodles."

"Yes, Lord Tenkage. Please rest assured, we will definitely assist Lady Karin in handling all the upcoming political affairs!"

Shikaku and Tsuchida immediately stood up and responded respectfully.

Previously, he was just a ninja.

But now they can participate in national-level political affairs. This is both novel and challenging for Shikaku and Tsuchida. In any case, they are truly standing at the forefront of the world's transformation. Whether they will face a bright future or fall into endless darkness is something only the goddess of fate can know.

At least!

They will work hard for it.

This is for the world, for the country, for all the people, and for themselves.

"Alright, the stage is ready, just waiting for everyone to take the stage."

Menma smiled slightly, turned around and looked through the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the left at the brightly lit night view of the ninja village outside. A different kind of light also appeared in Menma's pupils.

With the tone set, there won't be any problems with the subsequent conference.

Even at the formal meeting the following day, which was attended by several hundred people (in addition to the daimyo, each country also had two or three high-ranking officials, the lowest of whom were the Minister of the Interior),

However, after the daimyo of the five great nations took the lead in recognizing the series of national restructuring systems proposed by Menma on behalf of Kougakugakure, there were no further disturbances. The leaders of the various nations were not fools; they clearly knew that the five great nations had already reached an agreement with Menma.

So what's there to hesitate about?

No one wants to be the first to stick their neck out, especially the kind of first to stick their neck out that is destined to die.

The national restructuring proposal submitted to the meeting was passed unanimously.

The new nation was formed as a federation.

The highest authority is Parliament!

It has a governing body—the cabinet—and then different departments are established according to their respective functions.

The names of all countries do not need to be changed; everyone has become a group. Of course, a supreme law was also introduced, which directly stipulates that if any member state wants to withdraw from the federation, it must go through a national referendum in that country, with at least two-thirds of the people agreeing, and then be approved by the central government before it can be implemented.

Menma must prepare contingency plans for potential problems in the future. If Menma is still alive, or rather, still on this planet, then naturally there is no need for any written regulations to restrict her.

But what if Mianma isn't there?

These are the issues that must be considered. Of course, no matter how perfect such measures are, they cannot withstand the prying open of doors by those with ulterior motives. But even if we take the best possible precautions, it could still lead to the country splitting apart again.
