Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

In this way, giving any orders and meeting anyone can appear very comfortable, and will not appear a little stiff and mechanical like when Karuta Yagura was controlled before. No matter how strong the illusion ability is, people are ultimately being controlled to carry out actions.

There will still be some differences in comparison.

It is precisely because of this.

Neither the other Mist Ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village nor the delegations sent to the Hidden Mist Village by Ninja Villages from various countries noticed anything unusual. In their eyes, the Master was still the same Master.

"What's wrong? Menma? Did you find anything?"

Karin also noticed the change in Menma's expression and asked quickly.

"Well, I think I know who is behind this in the Hidden Mist Village. Haha, if that guy wants to play, then let's play along. Karin, go call Shibuki-san, Yudaka-san, and Asun-san over here right now!"

Menma smiled softly, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Yeah, I get it, Menma!"

Seeing Menma's confident look.

Karin was completely relieved, as if as long as Menma was there, there would be no problem.

Not long after.

Except for Wuwei who is still working as the abbot in the western area of ​​Hikari Village, many current high-ranking officials of Hikari Village, led by Shibuki, Ajun, and Yugao, all gathered in Menma's office.

They all had solemn expressions on their faces.

Before coming here, I already knew what had happened. After all, the Hidden Mist Village was so powerful that anyone could see it unless they were blind.

"Everyone should be clear about the situation, so I won't say much. Now, I give the order!"

Menma sat in his main seat and issued multiple military deployment orders in an orderly manner according to the current situation.

No matter what the situation is in Konoha.

Anyway, there is no problem in strengthening our own defense.

Their Hikari Village is surrounded by the three major ninja villages, so any disturbance should be treated with the highest degree of vigilance.

This is no exaggeration.

"The above is the deployment for this time. As for the air combat force, Shimu-san, although it also needs to enter the first-level combat readiness mode, under normal circumstances, it is still not necessary to deploy. Unless the enemy really has a large-scale legion invasion, otherwise we still need to keep a hand."

Menma said as he turned his head and looked at Shibuki on the lower left.

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Master Tianying."

Shibuki nodded heavily and replied.

After Menma completely integrated the power of Kusagakure Village and Takigakure Village and officially ascended the throne of the Celestial Shadow, even Shibuki completely changed his attitude and never called Menma by his name again, whether in public or in private.

Shimoki always pays great attention to etiquette.

This was due to both Menma's growing power and Shibuki's ability to clearly position himself.

"Some new weapons can be put into battle in advance to test their quality. I'll trouble Jun-san to prepare the specific arrangements."

"Yes, Lord Tianying, I will obey your orders."

Ah Jun also stood up immediately and responded with a respectful look on his face.

Air combat forces are still relatively special.

That existence can cause great massacre effects on ordinary ninjas. Once exposed, the ninja villages of various countries will definitely be alert. Therefore, the first battle must create corresponding results 100%.

Instead, it's the new weapons.

The lethality is limited, and even a Chunin may not take it seriously.

Menma thinks that using it in advance and collecting data in actual combat is more meaningful and valuable.

"Karin, you will be the one to notify Wuwei-san. Also, the necessary supplies must be delivered as soon as possible. If Konoha doesn't give way, the only route the Hidden Mist Village can take to attack us is from the south, where the River Country is, and the nearest one is the west area of ​​the village. The corresponding facilities there are not yet complete, so Wuwei-san must be more vigilant in the near future."

Menma turned his head and looked at Karin beside him and said.

"Yeah, I understand."

Xianglin also nodded heavily and replied.

The financial, material and human resources of a ninja village are limited.

Even though Menma didn't care about the status of the two countries' daimyos at all and forcibly demanded a series of supplies, on the one hand, the two countries could not compare with a rich country like the Fire Nation after all, and it was impossible for them to really provide a large amount of supplies. On the other hand, the Hikari Village established by Menma needed money and supplies in too many aspects.

This requires a focus.

The East District, which was the former Takigakure Village, is the main residence of Menma. It also has to face the threats from Konoha, Iwagakure Village, and Kumogakure Village directly. Naturally, it is the focus of construction. Various defenses, reconnaissance bases, as well as the arrangement of barriers and sealing techniques are all preferentially deployed in the East District.

The western area, which is the former Kusagakure Village, is much worse.

Now we have to face the attack from the Hidden Mist Village directly.

Considering the importance of maintaining a stable basic foundation, Menma needs to make more adjustments and cannot really lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.

"Gentlemen, it's fine if the Hidden Mist Village doesn't come. But if they really come, and they want to fight, we will fight. But when the war ends, it will be up to us to decide!"

"Yes!!!"

As soon as the order was given, the war machine of the entire Hikari Village was officially put into operation, and war was directly declared on the Hidden Mist Village, which clearly showed the strong attitude of their own ninja village. It was impossible to say that there were no complaints in the village. After all, it was not a ninja village built from scratch by Menma. Two years ago, it was just a medium-sized ninja village that was infinitely declining. It was a ninja village where almost all the Taki ninjas lived a life of muddling by without any dreams.

Menma's strong leadership.

Making their lives more compact requires an adaptation process. Continuous foreign wars can easily bring fatigue and boredom, but that's all, because this is not only because it is a self-defense counterattack, but also because Menma had led them to an extremely glorious and great victory before.

Any contradiction, any problem.

In the face of victory in war, they will all be suppressed.

In Menma's previous life, no matter what era it was, once problems arose within a country, launching a war against foreign countries was often the best option to divert conflicts.

If we win, all problems will disappear, but if we lose, all contradictions will erupt at once and become more acute and serious.

This is the case with the Takigakure Village that Menma is currently leading. The people under him do not have any deep feelings or loyalty towards Menma. Everything comes from awe of power and a desire for victory.

Therefore, Menma cannot stop and must keep running towards the other side of victory. This is a road where success means death.

The attack of the Hidden Mist Village was very determined, and the Hidden Light Village's response was also very quick.

One hand cannot clap, but two hands are enough to deafen everyone. The entire ninja world became highly tense because of the military actions of the two countries' ninja villages.

Because they all knew that war was about to break out.

There is no need to say much about the major countries.

The ninja villages of small countries had just enjoyed a few months of comfortable life, but now they have to return to this kind of precarious situation and face huge risks of being affected by huge waves at any time. Each one is more annoying than the other. But no matter how much they curse in their hearts, they cannot change the current facts, just like the wars that have occurred in the past few decades.

In the face of the absolute military power of a big country, small countries have no say.

Even the increasingly weakened Mist Village and Sand Village could easily ravage those small ninja villages and crush them to death as easily as crushing an ant.

Therefore, they are always worried about any war between major powers, no matter how big the scale is, for fear that they will be swept away by a mistake. The high-ranking people of major ninja villages such as the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Iwa Village, and the Hidden Leaf Village are also paying close attention to it, not because they value the Hidden Mist Village now, but because they are all suspicious of each other.

Anyway, at the beginning, they will only strengthen the defense of the border. Without really determining who is joining forces with the Hidden Mist Village, these three ninja villages will not be able to take any substantial action.

It can be said that if the small countries and ninja villages below are in a state of panic, then the three major countries above are in a state of panic, and they all have the idea that "there are always villains who want to harm me."

Only the Sand Village seems to be peaceful and tranquil.

Anyway, the Fifth Kazekage, Mr. Maki, seems to have made up his mind that no matter how hard the fight is outside, as long as you don't enter the territory of their Wind Country, Maki will pretend not to see it.

Menma, the person involved, also did not feel worried or nervous at all. Having seen through all the inside story, Menma knew very well that this was just a farce organized by Obito. Let the Hidden Mist Village attack if they want.

Does Menma need to care about a ninja village that no longer has a Kage-level ninja in charge, no tailed beast jinchūriki, and has lost thousands of combat forces, and was already half-abandoned several years ago?

This is a perfect training battle to hone the actual combat effectiveness of the integrated light ninjas, as well as the practical role and significance of those new weapons.

As for the rest, Menma didn't care at all.

Unless Obito really shows up on his own initiative, or the Akatsuki organization attacks, everything that has happened so far is just a minor incident in Menma's eyes.

and so.

In the Hidden Leaf Village, the messenger who arrived on Tsunade's orders used a very stern and heavy tone to express the seriousness of the situation.

Menma felt nothing in his heart, and even had the urge to laugh a little.

What does it mean that a huge crisis is about to come?

Why do you think Konoha needs to withstand such great pressure? Are you sure you are not kidding? Or do you really think that anything can be exaggerated without limit?

Menma looked at the man in front of him who looked somewhat like Nara Shikaku and was also a famous wise and resourceful ninja in the Nara clan. His face remained calm as at the beginning.

"Oh? Really? Then I really have to thank you for your assistance."

Menma said in a calm tone.

It's obvious that there's no touch at all.

Nara Suzaku in the position below felt a touch of helplessness in his heart. Although he knew before coming here that this person was not so easy to fool, he really didn't expect that he would gain nothing. He didn't look like an ordinary young man at all. Even his own nephew who was extremely talented when he was young might have higher IQ than Uzumaki Menma in front of him, but in terms of mental maturity, firm will and other psychological qualities, there was a world of difference between the two.

Facing Uzumaki Menma.

Suzaku always felt as if he was facing an experienced adult.

"That's what I should do. Lord Tianying, you are too kind. I came here not only to convey the attitude of our Lord Hokage, but also to ask Lord Tianying what he will do next? In what aspect does Konoha need our assistance?"

Since there's no way to test it, let's get straight to the point.

After Suzaku took a deep breath, he looked straight at Menma and asked in a deep voice.

The situation of Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village is certainly important.

But for Konoha now.

The Hikari Village, or to be more specific, Menma Uzumaki's every move is the crucial one.

If you must say it.

Suzaku actually shares the same opinion as his cousin Shikaku.

Be it Lady Tsunade or Lady Jiraiya.

There is still a little hesitation.

Sometimes, even if it is risky, one still has to take a more decisive stance. Being hesitant is really a very bad habit, but there is no way. They are subordinates, and the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans have long been deeply bound to Konoha.

No matter how unwilling you are, you have to go on.

Chapter 420 About the Road to Peace

Not to mention, compared with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Tsunade and Jiraiya have been very tolerant towards all the ninja clans in the village. Every ninja will definitely not let Danzo do whatever he wants. In the past, whenever the Root suffered serious losses, they would immediately and unscrupulously draw people from the major ninja clans, and the people in power of the major ninja clans dared to be angry but not to speak out. Suzaku knew very well that more than ten years ago, the head of their own generation, Shikaku, was almost pulled into the Root.

That is to say, Akimichi Tofu was still alive at that time.

Push the pressure back.

The last twenty years when Sarutobi Hiruzen held the highest power in Konohagakure was the most painful period for all the major ninja clans in Konohagakure. Tsunade is now several times stronger than Sarutobi Hiruzen. People are really afraid of horizontal comparison.

For the village, and more importantly, for his own family.

Even though they knew this was not the best option, they could only follow along and try their best to help the Fifth Hokage make a relatively correct judgment.

"I also hope that this Menma-kun will really have some scruples and really let go of some of his hatred..."

Suzaku thought silently in his heart while looking at Menma.

Menma naturally couldn't see what was going on in the mind of this 'second in command' of the Nara clan.

But as for the overall intention of Konoha.

Menma could still guess some of the situation, mainly because Tsunade and Jiraiya's personalities were too easy to judge.

Especially the latter.

He is just a so-called 'good guy' in the ninja world.

A "good old man" who is intoxicated in the beautiful fantasy he created.

This is the thing that Menma despises most about Jiraiya, but Menma should also be grateful for this because it is also a point that Menma himself can make full use of.

A gentleman can deceive others.

Jiraiya was certainly not a gentleman, but the principle was similar.
