Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Let’s not mention Temari.

For now, as long as it is a mission carried out by Gaara.

Maki can either arrange Temari or Kankuro to go together. One of the two siblings must accompany Gaara.

The rest is to select the best young Sand Ninjas from the village to participate.

Cultivating the relationship between them and Gaara is also a very important part.

It is obvious that this strategy is effective. Although it is not clear whether Gaara's personality has changed drastically due to the stimulation he received after being captured by Konoha, the Gaara who has become willing to communicate with others and whose temper has become stable is the Gaara who best conforms to the righteousness and interests of the Sand Village.

Just like the previous Jinchūriki of their ninja village, Lord Fubuku.

That is the most perfect Jinchūriki.

"Yes, Mr. Maki."

Gaara still looked calm, nodded slightly and said.

As the son of four generations.

He is also a member of Machi Squad.

It was even with Maki's personal permission.

Gaara can directly call Maki "teacher", just like Naruto calls Jiraiya and Tsunade, and there is no need to care about their special status.

This is the advantage of bloodline identity.

"Well, let's go."

Maki waved his hand.

"Yes."

Gaara left with Temari and two other young Sand Ninjas.

"Are you really ready for Gaara to be the next Kazekage, Maki?"

After Gaara and the others had completely left.

At the far left side of the office, Chiyo, who had been resting with her eyes closed from the beginning, now slowly opened her eyes, looked directly at Maki who was sitting in the main seat, and asked softly.

"Yes, Master Chiyo, I have always felt that Gaara is the most suitable, no, the only suitable candidate in our village. The title of Kage cannot be tarnished. My strength and ability are not worthy of this position. Gaara meets the standards in terms of his current strength, future potential, and bloodline. It won't take too long. I have a feeling that in five or six years at most, Gaara will become a qualified Kage. By that time, I will retire directly and fully push Gaara to the position of Kazekage. I think you should agree with this, right?"

Maki took a deep breath, turned around, looked into Chiyo's extremely cloudy eyes, nodded heavily and said.

A shadow of the upper position.

It requires support from all sides.

Being strong is only the most basic and fundamental condition.

Specifically in the Sand Village, if Maki is optimistic about Gaara, he still needs to gain the recognition of Chiyo and Ebizo. The status of these two in the Sand Village is just like that of the previous master in the Mist Village. Maki can quickly stabilize the hearts of the people in the Sand Village because of the support of Chiyo and Ebizo.

He is a ninja from the same period as the Third Kazekage.

To put it bluntly, he is a 'veteran of three dynasties'!

Back then, her puppetry skills shocked the entire ninja world. It was indeed an exaggeration to say that Chiyo had the strength of a Kage, but relying on her status as a top puppeteer, Chiyo was definitely the most powerful quasi-Kage at her peak, the kind of ninja who could fight against Kage-level ninjas.

The prestige and qualifications accumulated in all aspects.

This is what led to the current handover of the Kazekage in the Sand Village, and it would be impossible without the support of Chiyo and Ebizo.

Gaara's identity is still a little special after all.

There is only one example of a Jinchūriki becoming a Kage in the history of the original five great countries, and that is Yagura Karitachi. However, he was the type who came to the position first and then became a Jinchūriki, which is not so common, not to mention that the Hidden Mist Village has always been a singularity among the original five great countries.

Not to mention the facial numbness.

The Hikari Village was built by the people themselves.

Therefore, there are still many obstacles for Gaara to ascend to the position of Kazekage.

But Maki firmly believed that Chiyo would agree with his judgment, just like two years ago, when the Fourth Hokage died unexpectedly in battle and his own ninja village was defeated, Chiyo directly stood up and pushed him to the top, but later did not fight for any real power.

Maki believed that such a highly respected senior from the Ninja Village would definitely make the most correct judgment and would definitely not be limited by so-called secular views.

Gaara's succession as the Sixth Kazekage is the key to the resurgence of their Sand Village, at least that's what Maki thinks.

"Haha, you are still the same as before, Maki. Indeed, Gaara is the most outstanding one among the next generation of our Sand Village. It is possible for him to be the Kazekage, but there are many issues involved. Maki, you must be mentally prepared."

Chiyo first smiled lightly, then looked at Maki with a solemn expression and said.

Ever since her son and daughter-in-law died in battle and her only grandson defected, Chiyo's heart is actually half dead. The remaining half is merely the obsession left by an old veteran who has fought for the village for decades as a Sand Ninja.

That is to see the Sand Village return to its former glory.

At the very least, we should try to be on the same level as other ninja villages.

Chiyo is not an idealist, nor does she have fantasies. Therefore, she knows that it is extremely difficult to achieve this. The problems of the Sand Village cannot be solved overnight. The fact that the village has never been victorious in a war over the past few decades not only explains many problems, but also proves the weakness and failure of the Sand Village.

We need to break this situation.

Their Sand Village is about to undergo a decisive change.

Gaara's promotion to Kazekage is the most crucial step.

But this step is also very difficult. Although the Sand Village seems to have nothing, the larger the ninja village is, the more complicated the internal struggles will be. As the saying goes, the smaller the temple, the more evil spirits there are; the shallower the water, the more turtles there are.

"Yes, Master Chiyo, I have already made preparations. Gaara will definitely become the Kazekage one day in the future. I also firmly believe that Gaara can lead our Sand Village out of the predicament!"

Maki straightened his body and spoke loudly with a very determined look.

"Well, I am looking forward to that day."

Chiyo also spoke softly in a very gentle tone.

"Just watch!"

Something that must be said.

There is no problem with Chiyo and Maki's judgment.

As a ninja village that has been in decline for nearly thirty years, Gaara is indeed the only hope for the rise of their Sand Village. It is indeed difficult for a person to lead a country or a ninja village unless he is as powerful as Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.

But an outstanding leader can at least make a force show an upward trend.

Gaara in the original work is a good example of this.

Of course, it was also thanks to that 'Uzumaki Naruto'.

No matter how different Gaara's experiences are in this life, judging from his personal performance and future prospects, the Sand Village still needs to rely on him.

If the future development of the ninja world remains the same as the past few ninja wars, the Sand Village may not be without a chance to rise again.

Change little by little.

Gaara is getting stronger little by little.

You will become the backbone and mainstay of the Sand Village!

Super strong personal talent.

With the support of Shukaku.

There will be no problem for Gaara to become a powerful and advanced Kage-level being.

however.

Menma's arrival and everything he did broke this situation.

The ninja world will no longer be as silent as before.

Menma will use his own actions to realize his ambitions, regardless of success or failure. The future that Maki and Chiyo envision is almost impossible to come true.

And this is after more than three months of precipitation and preparation.

Menma has already made the corresponding preparations.

He was about to take the first and all-important step into the starry sky.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 404 Special Moon Landing Channel

The first year of Hikari Village, May 62th, 5nd year of Konoha.

Fire Nation.

In a border area in the northeast, in a mountain range called Fengzhui.

"whoosh"

A red figure flashed and appeared.

"Is it here?"

After traveling through the mountains for a few minutes.

This figure stepped outside an extremely secret special cave, with familiar blood-red hair and an extremely powerful chakra aura.

This figure is not someone else.

It's Menma.

Over the past three months.

Menma not only further integrated and settled the power of the two original ninja villages, further reformed the internal mechanisms, and prepared corresponding military forces, but also made his cells and physical abilities extremely active through his further expanded vitality.

Completely mastered the means of absorbing natural energy.

Maybe he is still not as good as Hashirama Senju, who absorbs natural energy casually and in large quantities like a water pump and uses it in combination with chakra.

But it is definitely several times stronger than Jiraiya's half-baked Sage Mode.

It is also much stronger than the so-called perfect sage mode of 'Uzumaki Naruto', because Menma can also 'refill the cup in large quantities' on his own like Hashirama Senju!

And it is also possible to enter Sage Mode almost instantly.

Menma can do this perfectly.

His current strength has definitely reached the maximum limit that the human body can reach.

Maybe it's just an illusion.

Menma could even vaguely feel the barrier called 'human body and spirit'.

Once a breakthrough can be achieved.

Then his life level will truly usher in a qualitative mutation and leap.

Therefore, Menma decided to launch his long-planned moon landing mission, and this timing was the perfect time.

Because if Menma remembers correctly.

During this period, the descendants of Hamura on the moon had already ended the large-scale internal strife. They gathered the Byakugan of all the branch families and artificially created a giant Rinnegan that condensed the will of all the branch families, and wiped out all the people of the main family.

Then, Otsutsuki Toneri, whose blood concentration was closest to that of Hamura in the past thousand years, was left sleeping on the moon, waiting for the best time to come. Only then would this Otsutsuki Toneri wake up. This was his sleep.

But it depicts a corresponding special barrier and talisman array.

The purpose is to further stimulate and tap into Sheren's bloodline power.

You should know that in the original work, Toneri transplanted a pair of pure enough Byakugan from Hanabi, and after combining the blood power of the two descendants of Hamura, he immediately opened his own pair of Rinnegan!

Uchiha Madara, as the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, has gone through countless years of hard work. After devouring Hashirama's cells, he still had to go through a long time to transform this power. Before his death, he perfectly integrated the power of the two, and then guided out the blood power of Hagoromo to open the Rinnegan.

From this point of view, although Toneri is not as good as Uchiha Madara in other aspects, he is definitely one of the best in terms of the concentration of Otsutsuki clan bloodline.

The level of the Samsara Eye is comparable to the Rinnegan.

In the battle between Toneri and Naruto, he truly demonstrated the power of the Six Paths.

What Menma needs is the purest Otsutsuki bloodline like Toneri as one of the most critical "items" to improve his own bloodline.

There is also the giant reincarnation eye.

The reason for choosing this time point is that Menma is now capable of dealing with the methods left behind by the branch families among the descendants of Hamura on the moon. As for Toneri?

How powerful can a blind boy who has not yet opened his Samsara Eye and is still asleep be? The only thing he needs to be on guard against is how much power Toneri can use from that giant Samsara Eye.

But no matter what, it is impossible to reach the level of the Six Paths.

"Is there a special space passage leading to the moon here?"
