Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Wuwei could obviously hear the deep meaning in Shemu's words, and at that moment, he responded in a resolute tone.

If you must choose the person who trusts or is most loyal to Menma from among his current companions/subordinates.

Wuwei and his son Wuqiu will definitely be ranked at the top.

It's probably second only to Karin, and on par with Yudaka.

This is not only because Menma has a huge favor to them, but also because of the strength and means shown by Menma, which makes Wuwei and Wuqiu, father and son, believe that Menma can definitely accomplish great things.

It’s just the name of Kusagakure Village, so let it change.

Wuwei didn't feel anything.

Even if there are some complaints from the people below.

Doing nothing also means feeling that there is no problem.

The most important thing is that compared with the benefits brought by the merger of the two villages, these few problems are absolutely acceptable.

No matter how great the risk is, can it be more dangerous than the previous fight against the four major ninja villages?

Therefore, Wuwei would absolutely obey Menma's instructions unconditionally.

When Shimu heard Wuwei's words, he was shocked. What is enlightenment? This is naked enlightenment.

This is completely an attitude of treating oneself as a subordinate.

The determination is obvious and can be heard.

Shibuki was aware of the relationship between Wuwei and Menma, but a bigger question that arose was "Why?"

Shibuki knew a thing or two about what kind of ninja Wuwei was. As a senior Kusa ninja, he was previously in charge of the 'International Prison' - Kizuna Castle. It was said that he was a guy who killed people without blinking an eye.

He is an extremely cold-blooded ninja.

How could such a person actually bow down to Menma? And be so respectful? Shibuki said it was really hard to understand.

There was even a moment when Shibuki wondered if Wuwei was deliberately pretending, but on second thought, he felt that it was not very likely, mainly because the benefits and risks were not equal. If he really wanted to be completely independent, he could have directly joined the Hidden Leaf Village. Why make it so complicated? Moreover, although Menma is young, Shibuki trusts him very much and feels that Menma is not the kind of person who will be easily deceived by others.

"Since Wuwei-san said so, then there is naturally no need to worry about anything. Then, Menma-kun, when will the official merger plan begin? And regarding the most important name of the ninja village after the merger, have you decided on it?"

Shibuki took a deep breath, nodded slightly, then looked at Menma and asked.

"The official plan has not been finalized yet. I need to reach a consensus with you two first, and then inform the key persons in charge of the two ninja villages in advance. We can't just start today and start tomorrow. There is still a lot of preparation work. As for the name of the ninja village, well, it has not been finalized yet. You can go back and think about it. I personally think that whether it continues to be Taki or Kusa, it is not so appropriate. We still need a brand new name for the ninja village, because we are about to usher in a brand new era."

Menma said in a gentle voice with a smile on his face.

The merger of the two ninja villages cannot be achieved by just talking. There are so many issues involved. The most important one is where will the new ninja village be located? How will the distance between the two ninja villages be handled?

Even if it is just a small ninja village, even if the two countries are indeed neighbors, the problem of distance still exists.

In addition, the opinions of the two daimyo of the Land of Grass and the Land of Water Trap must also be considered.

Everything can't be messed up.

Appropriate regulations are required.

Don’t say it’s too fast. Being able to complete the initial integration within half a year is already very efficient.

This is also the reason why Menma couldn't wait to call Shibuki and Wuwei to negotiate the merger of ninja villages right after the war ended and before even dealing with some of the aftermath. All things are difficult at the beginning, but as long as you can get started, everything else will be easy.

"Well, what Menma-kun means is that we should slowly spread the relevant news in the village and let the villagers accept it little by little, right?"

"Yes, this is the most basic and most important thing. If not all, we must at least get the approval of the majority. After all, this is not just about one family, but involves the common destiny of two ninja villages and hundreds of thousands of people."

Menma nodded slightly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 344: Changing Position

Afterwards, regarding the issue of merging ninja villages, Menma, Wuwei and Shibuki also conducted very careful discussions. The most crucial link was to obtain the approval of the majority of high-level ninjas in the ninja villages.

These people are the backbone of the two major ninja villages, and as long as they are not the kind of loners with eccentric personalities, those who can be promoted to the rank of Jonin will basically have a relatively large group of followers. After all, geniuses are still a minority, and most of the guys who can be promoted to the rank of Jonin usually have to be in their twenties or thirties. In a period of ten or even twenty years, they will have trained a group of subordinates or have companions with whom they have good relationships.

Not to mention those senior ninjas who hold important positions.

Gaining the recognition of such a senior ninja means the recognition of a group of people and the support of multiple families behind him. Of course, under normal circumstances, it only needs to focus on the ninja. Ordinary ninjas basically will not speak on such matters. They only care about whether the ninja village can protect their safety and whether the ninja village can provide them with the benefits they want.

Gaining initial support from the two major ninja villages is the first step. Next, we must start from the high-level nobles and politicians headed by the daimyos of the two countries, at least to prevent them from opposing. Under the current system, the relationship between the country and the ninja village is still a tacit iron rule, and Menma has no intention of breaking this rule.

The meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step.

Only after completing these two steps can the merging of the two ninja villages be officially started.

The reorganization of the team, the merger of departments, the redefinition of rules and regulations, and a series of miscellaneous matters.

That night, the three of them talked until almost late at night.

Following from that.

Started the next day.

Wuwei and Shemu took action on their own.

Convincing others is a very time-consuming and laborious task. As for the issue of changing the village leader raised by Shibuki before, Menma put it aside for the time being. Anyway, the work of merging the two villages had to be started.

There is no need to rush to take the position of leader of Takigakure Village.

What's more, now everyone in the ninja village will tacitly agree that Menma is the village's supreme leader. This is what Menma has gained through his own strength and Shibuki's active cooperation.

Anyone who sees Menma now needs to bow and address him respectfully as "Master Menma".

In the Kusagakure Village, through this great war and Wuwei's various intentional or unintentional guidance, Menma gained a high prestige among thousands of Kusagakure ninjas. This was also the reason why Menma dared to directly promote the merger of the two ninja villages.

As for the names of the two countries, professionals are needed to take action.

The village has always had people responsible for contacting the national government. Whether it is Taki Ninja or Kusanagi Ninja, there are corresponding responsible personnel in the capitals of the two countries. These people can come forward to negotiate.

The main person in charge, Menma, was also handed over to Karin.

In the newly established Great Ninja Village, Karin will be Menma's most trusted housekeeper in charge of internal affairs and logistics. Not only because Karin is Menma's closest person, but also because after more than a year of experience, Karin's growth is obvious to all.

Menma also believes in future work.

Xianglin will definitely be able to organize these matters in an orderly manner.

A plan that unfolds gradually and in an orderly manner.

While Menma and the others were preparing their plans, in the northern region, the Iwagakure Village finally responded.

The Third Tsuchikage obviously has no intention of falling out with Menma at this stage. On the one hand, their Iwagakure Village needs time to digest the benefits gained from this war. On the other hand, even as the victorious party, Iwagakure Village did not win without paying any price. The casualties of two or three thousand Iwagakure ninjas were real.

Even if it occupies a considerable advantage.

But it is the Hidden Cloud Village after all.

Moreover, the power of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is extremely terrifying. It is already commendable that he can win at such a cost.

In such a situation.

Of course, Ohnoki still has to take a more cautious approach, and he also has to consider the combat effectiveness of Menma's side.

That was no longer something that the Iwagakure Village alone could deal with.

Ohnoki has no interest in self-destructing and making things difficult for other ninja villages. Even if we don't look at the past, aren't the two unlucky people, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village, the best examples right now! ?

If you really want to take action, you have to choose the most appropriate time.

Therefore, at the end of the war, when the Third Tsuchikage received the news from Menma, he did not hesitate at all and directly gave a response that was in line with the 'covenant'.

Following from that.

Just at the moment the reply is sent.

Ōnoki then sent his most trusted person to secretly go to the Hidden Leaf Village after everything was over.

Make arrangements in advance for possible collisions in the future.

It must be said that this is the most important quality that a ninja village leader needs to possess. In his eyes, the only criterion for judging all affairs and actions is the interests of the village.

"Father, are we going to contact Konoha now? Isn't that a little too urgent?"

In the Iwagakure Village, in the Tsuchikage's personal office.

Huang Tu, who had just returned from the front line, asked Ohnoki who was sitting on the main seat with a pale and weak look on his face.

Now that there are only the two of them in the office, father and son, they can be more straightforward in their words.

"Well, to be honest, it does seem a bit urgent, but that Uzumaki Menma-kun has repeatedly exceeded the expectations of an old man like me. I always have a premonition that if I don't take some measures, this kid will become 100% uncontrollable in the future."

Oonoki did not deny his son's words, but nodded and said with a very emotional tone.

This time the war.

It really shattered Oonoki's worldview.

It's like, you originally thought that someone could only get 60 points at most, but the fact is, his final score is 100 points. What's more exaggerated is that this 100 points may not even be the upper limit of his ability.

I got 100 points simply because the full score is 100.

Ohnoki has already raised Menma's danger level to the extreme level. In just over a year, Menma has undergone such a drastic change. Ohnoki always feels that it is a little too dreamy.

"Indeed, the strength displayed by this Menma-kun is too terrifying. Even that Jiraiya-sama cannot suppress him. And he is only 13 years old now, far from reaching the peak of ninja. Could he be the next..."

Huang Tu nodded in agreement, but when he said the last sentence, he seemed to have some concerns and chose to remain silent.

Of course, Ōnoki could understand what his son meant.

It should even be said that Ohnoki felt the real pain. After all, Huangtu was just a ninja of this era and had not fully witnessed the terrifying power of those two.

Ohnoki had the "fortune" to experience what it means to truly overwhelm the ninja world.

Under the gaze of that pair of scarlet Sharingans.

Ōnoki didn't even have the courage to start a resistance.

It was a grim existence like the real Shura from hell, and a haze that would always linger in Ōnoki's heart.

Will Menma become like those two?

Ohnoki had no way of knowing.

It should also be said that from a general perspective, this is almost impossible. The history of ninjas has been around for thousands of years, but in these thousands of years, there have only been two guys, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Deep down, Ohnoki was unwilling to believe in such a possibility.

But what if it really happened! ?

Uzumaki Menma.

This has broken my own cognition more than once.

At only 13 years old, what is the limit of his growth? Ohnoki really can't tell. The only thing he can be sure of is that the trembling feeling in his heart is so real and so strong.

"Ah, Uzumaki Menma will definitely be the biggest enemy of our Iwagakure Village from now on. All our subsequent actions will be centered around this nine-tailed brat!!"

An extremely sharp color also emerged in Ohnoki's slightly cloudy pupils.

The situation in the ninja world changed suddenly.

Today's ally may not be tomorrow's enemy.

The relationship between the country and the ninja village is always centered on power and interests. Friendship? Trust?

It’s not that this thing is impossible.

But everything still depends on the current situation.

Hashirama Senju and Naruto Uzumaki are the most typical naive people. As friends, such people are reliable and reassuring, but as the leaders of a force, they are the most irresponsible, because the starting point of everything they do is definitely not the interests and safety of their own force. It's not that they don't consider these things.

Instead, other idealized things will be juxtaposed with this one.

This is the worst mistake a leader should make.

In other words, the two of them are strong enough.

Otherwise, he would be the stupidest leader. Of course, this is not an objective judgment, but Menma's own subjective opinion. If you insist on saying it is personal prejudice, then you can say that Menma looks down on the so-called "innocent idealists" who will destroy a country and a ninja village.

leader!

You must be down-to-earth and have a clear understanding of your own position and identity.

therefore.

When the news came from Oonoki.

Menma was not surprised at all. This was completely within his expectations. As the leader of the Iwagakure Village, it would be strange if he did not even have this awareness and judgment.
