Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

As long as it's something Menma wants to do.

Karin will do everything she can to help Menma accomplish his goal.

In Karin's own words, this is the meaning of her life.

Menma can also understand this very clearly. If he must say, Karin's life is a little deformed, but Menma doesn't know where to start to adjust it. For many things, he can only rely on his own choices and judgments.

At most, others can provide some guidance.

It’s the same old saying, you are you, he is him, and I am me.

It is impossible for two people in this world to be exactly the same and to completely understand each other, not even the relationship between Menma and Karin.

"You, don't be too nervous, we still have time."

Menma, with a gentle look on his face, gently touched Karin's head again. Karin also showed a very happy expression on her face, nodded and replied: "Yeah!"

Following from that.

After briefly explaining some other issues.

Karin then left straight away to handle the work assigned to her by Menma, as the first assistant recognized by Menma himself.

Karin doesn't want to cause any unnecessary delays to Menma's plan because of her.

Time is directly equated with life.

Looking at Xianglin who left in a hurry.

Menma also rubbed the corners of his eyes and showed a wry smile. He had clearly told her not to be too anxious or nervous, but Karin was still like this.

"I can only take the initiative to reduce the work for this girl, otherwise I'm really worried that she will exhaust herself..."

Menma thought helplessly.

Following from that.

Menma seemed to sense something and raised his brows slightly.

"No dirt."

The words that followed were spoken softly.

"Menma-sama."

In the shadow of the left wall.

A slender figure also emerged, with pale skin that looked almost sickly, and a chilling aura that was clearly suppressed but still visible.

This figure was none other than Menma's subordinate.

Now he can be said to be the strongest person.

"Well, it looks good. Has Wu's power been able to adapt to the initial stage?"

Menma carefully sensed Wuque's current condition, and after a few seconds, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a chuckle.

"Everything is thanks to Master Menma."

Wuque replied softly with a look of reverence, still kneeling on one knee.

If Menma had doubts about the loyalty of Wuwei and Wugui before, today, at least he no longer doubts Wugui.

This is not only an identification based on personal senses, but also a preconceived judgment of reality.

Menma believed that Musuke would be 100% loyal to him, even if the orders he gave required him to risk his life.

Menma also believed that Muque would definitely carry out the order.

"You, there's no need to be so polite. Get up."

"Yes, Master Menma."

After Wuqiu lowered his head in response, he slowly stood up and still stood in the front position with a respectful look.

Chapter 367 Arrangement

Sometimes subordinates who are too loyal can be a bit troublesome.

Just like Wuque in front of us, he hardly raises any doubts about Menma's orders. This is of course a good thing, but Menma knows his own business. He is not an omniscient leader. Sometimes there are omissions or slightly wrong orders. That is possible. At this time, the people under him need to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

This is a problem that almost every leader will encounter.

This is the time when the subordinates' abilities are really tested.

How to correctly point out and correct the leader’s wrong orders without damaging the leader’s prestige and making the leader feel disgusted is the most important skill in the workplace.

But let’s be specific about Wuque.

It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Because this guy will never refute Menma's opinions. As long as the order is given by Menma himself, he will execute it 100%.

Menma was planning to correct it at first, but now he just gave up. Everyone has their own unique personality and style of doing things, and this thing really can't be forced. Anyway, he can still discuss it with other people.

"How is the formation of the guard going? Have the Kusagakure Shinobi selected the right people?"

After a brief greeting.

Menma also went straight into the topic.

Muque is the leader of Menma's guard chosen by him, who is similar to the captain of the shadow guard directly under the five major ninja villages. When two major ninja villages are about to merge, a brand new large ninja village is about to appear, and Menma is the first leader.

Selecting your own shadow guard is what you should do.

And considering the emotions of the two ninja villages, Menma's shadow guards must be distributed fairly between the two ninja villages.

There can be more people in Takigakure Village because Muku is already the captain of the Shadow Guards, but the Kusagakure ninjas must also occupy a certain proportion of the number.

When the two villages are merging, or for a period of time after the merger, the senior people headed by Menma must pay more attention to details and must not let either side feel unfair, as this is one of the major hidden dangers of internal strife.

Why are the Uchiha clan incompatible with the Hidden Leaf Village?

Is it really true, as Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura and others said, that the Uchiha clan is inherently evil?

No, if I must say, the Uchiha clan is the clan that understands love the most in this world, because those who have no love in their hearts cannot open the Sharingan, although the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is essentially the result of spiritual evolution.

But in the thousand years of history of the Uchiha clan, almost all of those who opened the Sharingan did so because of the impact of some event.

Especially the Mangekyō Sharingan. I dare not say it is 100%, but it is almost certain that one can only open these eyes because of the loss of a loved one.

How can one have such passionate feelings if he doesn’t know how to love?!

It's just because the love of the Uchiha clan sometimes goes to extremes, and the stubbornness and pride hidden deep in the clan's bones are too strong, which leads to the Uchiha clan becoming more paranoid than ordinary people.

On this basis.

After the death of Hashirama Senju, the policies implemented by Tobirama Senju were almost all aimed at suppressing the Uchiha clan.

However, this second-generation Hokage at least gave the Uchiha clan some benefits, such as the Konoha Guard (which has both advantages and disadvantages), and taking Uchiha Jing as his apprentice (this is a real reassurance strategy, and also Tobirama's differentiation strategy).

In addition, during that period, the Uchiha clan did launch a rebellion of not small scale.

Although they were not in the right, Tobirama Senju still had one hand for the stick and the other for the sweet treat. The Uchiha clan, at least during Tobirama's time, was relatively honest and could be completely regarded as a member of the Hidden Leaf Village. But after Tobirama Senju's death, the four "highly intelligent" Konoha F4 group of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu completely let themselves go, and only remembered what their teacher had told them, that the Uchiha clan was an evil and dangerous clan.

He did not inherit even half of his teacher's political skills.

Perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen once had the same idea as Senju Tobirama and executed the same strategy, but his indecision and personal ability were really inferior to Senju Tobirama, which eventually led to the Uchiha clan's disunity and drifting away from the village.

The reason is that one thing was not done properly, that is - fairness, or damn fairness!!

Even if you cannot truly be fair, or you are unwilling to be fair and cannot show it on the surface, the most important thing is to at least make everyone feel less unbalanced inside.

The demise of the Uchiha clan is the best example.

Although their clan had faced the darkest end—only two or three clan members were left, didn’t the Hidden Leaf Village also suffer a heavy loss? ?

The Uchiha clan is known as the largest clan in the ninja world.

The demise of such a ninja clan is definitely a huge weakening of the combat power of a ninja village.

Therefore, Menma must learn this lesson. The merger of Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village must be carried out in the fairest way.

At least it has to appear that way on the surface.

The first thing to do is to recruit the shadow guards of the Immaculate Organization.

Later on, there is the most important issue of allocation of senior positions, which also needs to be done to satisfy both parties as much as possible.

"Yes, Master Menma, we have already preliminarily selected the candidates. Here is the list. Please have a look."

Muque also took out a scroll from his arms and handed it directly to Menma at the top. The first and most important reason why Menma did not bring Muque out on this trip was naturally because Menma wanted Muque to take care of Naruto personally. The other reason was to let Muque select the first batch of shadow guards first.

The quantity does not need to be large.

But six teams with 24 people are still needed.

Neither Takigakure nor Kusagakure Village has an Anbu organization like the five major ninja villages. It can be said that only the five major ninja villages have the capital to form a special force.

Menma also planned to use his shadow guards as the core, and then slowly expand the scale in the future. After all, the "Anbu" organization needs to be filled with real elites, but at the current stage, the number of elite ninjas in the two ninja villages is still too small, and he must prioritize ensuring the open organization.

The barrier squad, the sealing squad, and the air combat unit that will be formed next, all require ninjas with super high chakra control.

If too many people are transferred from the Anbu.

These special forces will be short of people.

Therefore, before Menma left the village, he had told Muque not to be too strict on the selection criteria and number of shadow guards, as their two ninja villages did not have the foundation to make such a choice.

It was obvious that Musou followed Menma's orders 100%.

When I saw the preliminary list selected by Wuque.

Menma also nodded in satisfaction.

It can be said that the quality of this list is not that good, nor that clear, but it really takes into account people from all aspects of the two ninja villages. Not only are there some descendants of the former senior ninjas who held important positions, but there are also some ninjas who can be called family-born, as well as some excellent ninjas who are of civilian origin.

It can be said that Muque completed the task assigned by Menma very well.

An even more crucial point is that Muque clearly knows how to serve the people in a subordinate manner. He selected more than 40 people from this list, not the 20 or so people that Menma mentioned at the beginning.

The straightforward thing is to let Menma do the screening.

It can be said that everything has been done very well.

While Menma showed a smile at the corner of his eyes, he took out a pen from the table on the side and drew circles and crosses on it. In less than ten minutes, Menma selected a list of 24 people.

It also includes the leaders of the six teams, and then Wuque.

These 25 people will be Menma's direct subordinates in the new ninja village, and they will also be the subordinates who will act with Menma almost all the time in the future.

Such are the duties and powers of the Shadow Guard.

"That's it. Send out the list today and have them gather here tomorrow. You will be in charge of the integration, Wuque."

Menma handed the scroll back and spoke in a calm tone.

"Yes, Master Menma, I will definitely complete the integration in the shortest possible time."

Wuqiu also stretched out his hands, took the scroll very solemnly, and replied with a very serious expression.

"Well, I'm at ease with you doing the job."

Menma said with a slight nod.

"Also, Naruto hasn't been messing around during this period of time, right?"

The official business has been completed.

You also need to ask about private matters.

And in a sense, this is a private matter that is much more important than many public matters.

Naruto's identity is really special.

To ordinary people, Naruto is already the son of the Fourth Hokage and Menma's younger brother. All the ninjas under Menma, led by Musuke, must treat him with caution. But to Menma, what is more certain is Naruto's identity as the reincarnation of "Ashura Chakra".

That's the kind of guy he is.

No amount of attention can be given to it.

This is probably Menma's only 'indecisive' choice.

"Yes, Master Naruto has been relatively well behaved during this time, and has not done anything outside of the scope you set. The most he usually does is wander around the village and chat with some people. Of course, he also obeys your orders to have Master Naruto disguise himself before going out."
