Naruto, Uzumaki Menma, just wants to conquer the world

Therefore, this was not an order from Akatsuki, but Kakuzu's own unauthorized action.

For military groups, organizational ability is very important.

Putting aside their combat power, Akatsuki's organizational ability is actually very poor.

They have no common beliefs, no common goals, no common programs, and each has their own ulterior motives.

They may surrender under the threat of force, join after weighing the pros and cons, or even lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to act.

They are very strong, there is no problem with that, but they can only play in a favorable situation and cannot withstand any turbulence or disturbance.

The leader of Akatsuki treats his members as pawns, and the members of Akatsuki regard the organization as a helpless temporary residence, which is much less complicated than the ties between ordinary ninjas and ninja villages and clans.

Team fight? That would probably be a luxury that would ruin their image, and it would probably only happen in a fantasy world.

The result of them gathering together might be that they would start fighting first. Even if the leader of Akatsuki summoned them, he would only dare to use the Phantom Body Technique to gather phantoms.

The reason why S-rank rebel ninjas gathered in this organization was based on the absolute strength and authority of the dictatorial leader, and nothing more.

037 Marriage: So, Temari is going to get married too?

When they met for the first time, the three Sand Village siblings noticed the boy's vest, which could only be worn by those above the level of Chunin.

Moreover, this young man is very short, only slightly taller than Gaara, so it can be estimated that he is only slightly older than Gaara.

Kankuro: Is it another monster like Gaara? No, that's impossible. There shouldn't be a monster stronger than Gaara.

Gaara: The same smell.

No one knew what was going on in Temari's mind, but her eyes had never left the boy since they first met.

Menma didn't want to waste his time on them, because...

He met the lovely Hanabi-chan again on the road!

Receiving the Sand Ninja?

task?

Work?

Is there such a thing?

Menma made up an excuse to leave the three of them behind, told them to wait for him, and then went to "sneak attack" Hanabi.

Conceal your breath, approach quietly, hug you, throw you high into the sky, catch you steadily, rub and stick to you!

"Hanabi-chan, Hanabi-chan, lovely Hanabi-chan, I love you the most~"

Hanabi's petite body was in his hands, like a toy that he could manipulate and play with.

Pervert? What pervert! I'm only 12 years old, what's wrong with children playing and fighting? (Justified)

"Ahhh! Put me down, put me down! Stop it now! I won't let you go!"

Even though Hanabi was shouting so loudly, it was just a show of resistance.

She was already used to this kind of intimate behavior and did not show any disgust from beginning to end.

On the contrary, if Menma didn't do this to her one day, she would feel neglected.

Not long after, he cheated both Hanabi-chan's body and her money, and left with satisfaction.

He turned back to look for the Sunagakure ninja.

Not long after, he saw this scene: Kankuro was holding the petite girl's collar, as if threatening and intimidating her.

Temari folded her arms, with the corners of her mouth raised in a playful smile, the look of someone watching a show.

Where is Gaara?

Where is the little red-haired girl carrying a gourd?

Oh, hiding in the tree, it seems like Sazuki is there too.

Sakura just stood there, not daring to intervene or speak, as if she was frightened.

"That's it!"

Sakura only blinked before she saw the familiar figure appear before her, and she shouted excitedly, "Menma!"

Kankuro's wrist was held tightly by Menma, "You bastard." He said through gritted teeth.

He wanted to struggle free, he wanted to let the other party know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

His strength is by no means weak among the Genin. Even if he is placed among the elite Genin who graduated from Konoha Ninja Academy, his strength is second only to Rock Lee.

However, Menma had no intention of fighting him.

"Listen carefully, Sunagakure ninja. You are now arresting the only granddaughter of the Third Hokage of Konoha, so you know what this means."

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Temari, who had just been acting indifferent and not minding any trouble, immediately jumped out with a nervous look on her face to stir up trouble, giving Kankuro a way out.

"Menma, why did you come just now?" Sakura said in a complaining tone.

However, her expectation was only met with Menma's angry rebuke: "Shut up, how can you offend distinguished guests who have come from afar? Is it just because their skin is not dark? This is definitely not the way we Konoha are hospitable!"

"This is an era of reconciliation. We must focus on consensus, seek common ground while reserving differences, and see the good side of the other side."

As soon as these words were spoken, the situation suddenly came to light.

Sakura thought it made sense, Satsuki knew Menma very well, she folded her arms and watched his performance quietly.

Gaara's eyes were always on Menma and never moved away.

When Temari saw the elegance and generosity of the Konoha ninja, she felt that Kankuro was even more ashamed.

In the Hokage's office, the crystal ball was playing these images, and the ninjas who were summoned to the scene were quite appreciative of Minami's words and deeds.

In their eyes, this was the way mature and rational ninjas resolved conflicts. Only Kakashi and Red Bean, who had seen the "human evil" of Menma, had a bad feeling.

As expected, Menma's next words were: "Everyone has flaws. You can't just pick on their faults. You know, Sakura, even Sunagakure."

Kankuro heard the insult and took the lead, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you going to destroy the alliance?"

With the support of Menma and Satsuki, Sakura also became more assertive and said, "Aren't we allies in Sunagakure? Why is your attitude so bad?!"

"Right now," Menma answered Sakura first, and then before Kankuro could get confused, he answered Kankuro, "You have been against us for the past fifty years."

"You know, we can't talk too much with you. This will be initially regarded as an act of treason by the ninja village. This is authorized by the Hokage."

Kankuro and Temari looked at each other, not knowing what they were communicating with their eyes.

"Huh? Is this true?" Sakura was full of confusion. She didn't know there was such a rule.

"In any case, the less you say, the better," Menma said.

Elegant, too elegant, so elegant that it directly brought the diplomatic relations into negative territory.

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, the Hokage, who originally had a kind face, had turned extremely dark.

He could hear someone in this office stifling laughter.

There is no doubt that Menma's words are serious nonsense, but Temari and Kankuro don't think so! They are completely serious.

They were originally going to launch a plan to destroy Konoha and launch a surprise attack on Konoha, but...

Listening to what this guy said, they always felt that they had been tricked.

Is it possible...

Konoha already knew about the plan, and was going to turn around and capture all the Sand Village ninjas?

In fact, Menma believed that this Chunin Exam was just a joint military exercise organized by Konoha.

The exercise has three objectives:

1. Show of force to allies:

Ninja intelligence is precious, and you can't let adult ninjas whose "skill lists" are already complete perform on stage.

These Genin are the future backbone of the ninja village. They are elite Genin selected from various countries. Insiders can see the potential and strength of the ninja village through the force they demonstrate.

Moreover, the growth rate of Genin is very fast, and the skill list is updated frequently, so the problem of exposing intelligence is within the tolerable range.

2. Show your strength to the powerful:

This is also the necessity of the third exam. The ordinary Chunin exam does not have a third round of exams because it is unnecessary.

The third round of exams is ultimately for the "lay audience" who don't understand ninjas, so that they can see the strength of Konoha ninjas and be more willing to trust and hire Konoha ninjas.

This can be described by what Menma once said: "Let the Fire Nation nobles believe that Konoha's national defense can protect them."

3. Deter enemy countries:

Sunagakure, Sound-gakure, Kusagakure, and Amegakure, those who were invited were either military allies or ninja villages that were on good terms with Konoha, or at least stood on Konoha's side from a diplomatic standpoint.

Therefore, this is the reason why Konoha turned a blind eye to Snake Princess.

According to Menma's outrageous theory, Snake Princess's behavior is like committing a crime in her own country, and being caught red-handed and unable to cleanse herself of the crime, and then escaping to a small country and becoming the king there, but also paying tribute to the overlord.

Although in Konoha's eyes, Snake Princess is a traitor to Konoha, but from the perspective of other countries it is: Are you sure you didn't release her on purpose?

They have established ninja villages in other countries, and even made the daimyo of that country a puppet. They have also sent troops to Kumogakure to help you guard the gate, and they have also responded to the Chunin Exam you held...

This is not your conspiracy, even dogs won’t believe it.

This kind of "joint military exercise" is nothing more than a declaration to the enemy: See? This is my ally.

However, Menma didn't know that there was another reason for this: this was the Sandaime Hokage's implementation of the plan for diplomatic relations between the ninja villages formulated by Menma.

This happened several years ago, and at that time the Sandaime Hokage was still asking Menma questions in the name of "exams" and waiting for Menma's conclusion.

"The ancients said: The best strategy is to plan ahead."

"Today I say: It is best to cut off allies."

"Everyone knows that Konoha is not afraid of death, but ninjas are not afraid of death, but they don't know how to live."

The Third Hokage looked puzzled but did not interrupt, motioning for Menma to continue.

"The Hokage has great ambitions and is on a regular basis for conquests."

"Ninjas have appetites, and they are stretched thin!"

The Sandaime Hokage thought for a moment and said, "So how do we solve this?"

"It depends on whether the Hokage wants to be a wise or bright Hokage."

"A wise shadow respects etiquette and pacifies the people, while a wise shadow expands territory and strengthens the country. This is called the first king and the later saint."

Xian Ying or Ming Ying? When the Sandaime Hokage was thinking about it, he had already unknowingly ignited the ambition in his heart. He hesitated and chose the latter.

"To be strong, ally with other countries to strengthen Konoha. Diplomatic relations come first, and war is secondary. War can only win one battle."

"In the current ninja world, no country has the power to destroy another country, and no country dares to have the intention to destroy another country."

"The ninja world is in a state of entanglement. If one country is destroyed, the others will be in danger. All the countries will surely rise up and attack it."

Menma's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word and sentence was shaking the soul of the elderly Hokage and stimulating his fighting spirit.

However, he still pretended to be calm and calmly cited past cases to refute: "Konoha has had allies before, but..."

Menma interrupted, "An alliance made for the sake of friendship will never end well, and an alliance made for the sake of truce will hardly stop the war."

"If you form an alliance for the sake of a strong power, you can take territory nearby and gain power from afar."

Therefore, this Chunin Exam is a strategy for establishing diplomatic alliances and marriages.

As long as we form an alliance with Sand Village, launch a northern expedition against Rock Village, and seize land together, everything will be fine, right?

If the Kazekage's daughter were to marry into Konoha, it would be a good idea for her to marry Menma, right?

Time returns to the present.

At this moment, in the room of the Tatei, Kankuro was still teasing Temari: "Hey, hey, the one you are going to marry is that brat! Haha, it seems that you are really unlucky!"

Just as he was about to make some sarcastic remarks, in the blink of an eye, the severe pain came upon his head.

When he came to his senses, his entire body was pressed by the huge three-star fan.

Kankuro's strength is considered very strong among ninjas of his age, but he does not dare to resist Temari.

He can't afford to offend Temari, nor can he afford to offend Gaara, so this is his position as the younger brother in the family.

After teaching Kankuro a lesson, Temari said, "I'm going back to rest." and then walked out of the room.
