Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

The weak eat the strong.

This is the fundamental law of human survival. As you are just an ordinary person, don't have any undue expectations.

Completely bringing the Land of Grass and the Land of Taki, which are covered by the Hikari Village's power, under his control was something Menma had started to arrange long before the Hikari Village was established. If he really followed the tradition with other national ninja villages, especially Konoha, not to mention how much constraints it would bring to Menma, even the establishment of the Hikari Village would be a question mark.

As the destroyer of the old era and the old order.

Menma is determined to break this rule.

Systems are made by the strong.

It will take time to determine whether he is on the right side, and it will require verification and approval from the general public, but at least in the current actions, Menma does not want to be affected in any way.

"Oh, by the way, Menma, as for the situation in the northwest, do we need to respond? The Iwagakure Village seems to have crossed the line. Although there are no dangerous actions at the moment, I am worried about their next move."

"Don't worry about it for now. That old fox won't take action unless he sees the situation going further. He doesn't want to make things difficult for others. As long as I don't move, the Iwagakure Village won't really do anything. We just need to maintain the most basic security."

Menma said very confidently.

This is by no means Menma's arrogance, but with the strength he has shown before, he is at least comparable to the Third Raikage, and may be even stronger. Unless the Hidden Mist Village can really further threaten the heartland of the Hidden Light Village and disrupt Menma's tactical arrangements, or there is another big ninja village declaring war on the Hidden Light Village headed by Menma, otherwise, Ōnoki will not easily go down to join the battle.

The sign of ally.

It will still be firmly established.

"Well, I understand what you mean, but I think we should be more conservative here, Menma. Our combat power distribution is sufficient. It is indeed inconvenient for you to act easily if you stay in the center. Then let Fu and I take charge of the Iwagakure Village. In this way, if the Iwagakure Village really takes any action, we can ensure that there will be no major tactical defense problems in the first place."

But this time, Karin obviously did not agree with Menma's judgment.

Instead, he directly put forward his own views.

Unlike the Sand Village, which poses a limited threat, the Cloud Village has already been severely damaged once, and the Konohagakure Village itself is wavering. The Iwagakure Village has always been the most deterrent "potential enemy".

Xianglin felt that no matter how much attention and precautions were given, it was not excessive.

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Menma was stunned at first, then nodded quickly.

Sometimes, it's not intentional.

It's just that it's easy for certain changes to cause complacency in one's heart. Menma usually restrains himself, but he still reveals it a little bit occasionally.

This is when you need reminders from others.

"Then do as you say, Karin. The direction of the Iwagakure is now entirely in your hands."

Menma said with a smile.

"Yeah! Menma!"

Instructions were conveyed quickly.

When receiving Menma's order, Musuke led the further expanded Anbu members to carry out Menma's order.

The light ninjas stationed in the two capitals also further strengthened the supervision of the daimyo and nobles. No one was allowed to enter or leave the capital at will at any time.

At Shibuki.

All the ninjas of the air combat unit were summoned immediately, and two giant floating war fortresses were launched from the secret base. (One is a legacy from the Kingdom of the Sky, and the other is a new generation of flying fortresses built with a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources during this period.)

Each of them carried more than 300 light ninjas and immediately headed towards the direction of the Land of Grass.

Although there is a bit of a passive sense of participating in the war.

But since the target is the entire ninja world, it doesn't make much difference which one to attack first. The overloaded war machine is a military action that cannot be hidden. The moment the air combat force of the Hikari Village was dispatched, the investigators from the ninja villages of various countries also obtained a certain amount of information.

Each of them quickly passed the corresponding information back.

To the ninja villages in various countries that received the news.

Konoha and Kumogakure are still relatively safe for the time being.

But in Iwagakure Village.

The Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki, was obviously ready to make some moves.

More and more forces are gathering at the border, already exceeding three thousand, and the number is still increasing. As a ninja village second only to Konoha in terms of foundation among the major countries, the number of ninjas in Iwagakure is definitely more than fifteen thousand. Whether it is close to twenty thousand or not is only known by the senior officials of Iwagakure headed by Ohnoki. But what is certain is that Iwagakure is different from Kirigakure. They don't need to go all out. While ensuring the basic defense of other areas, they can still dispatch nearly ten thousand ninja troops.

The current surge in numbers is just the beginning. There are even some Rock Ninjas who have crossed the border. Although not many, this is already a very dangerous trend, although they are currently doing so in the name of assisting their allies.

But the arrival of such a force.

It is enough to disrupt the regional balance.

The most important thing is that the leader of the team is Ōnoki’s son, Yodo, and the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han, were both sent to the front line at the same time.

Such a configuration.

It is enough to attack any ninja village.

Moreover, Ohnoki himself was also ready for the battle. The strength that Menma had shown in the previous war made Ohnoki feel that it was necessary to use a more luxurious lineup than the one that besieged the Third Raikage that year to deal with him.

As soon as the Hidden Mist Village achieves a real and substantial breakthrough on the southern front, Ohnoki will lead his troops south.

However, Ōnoki did not wait for the news of a breakthrough on the front line of the Hidden Mist Village, but instead received information that the Hidden Light Village had strengthened its forces on the northwestern border.

Although this is an expected development.

But when he really saw that Menma was really wary of him, Oonoki still felt very emotional.

"What an incredible young man."

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

In the large office that belonged exclusively to Ohnoki, Ohnoki looked at the information in his hand, shook his head subconsciously and spoke softly.

Said without politeness.

Menma is truly the most outstanding young man Ōnoki has ever seen in his decades of life. Even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama would have had a very obvious gap when they were Menma's age. This is not only reflected in personal strength, but also in qualities in all aspects.

Nine-Tailed Fox is one aspect.

But Oonoki saw more of Menma's own shining points.

because of this.

Ōnoki felt more and more sorry.

Why couldn't he have been more forceful in inviting Menma to join their Iwagakure Village?

The thought of this.

Ōnoki felt very regretful.

But this emotion only lasted for a moment.

There are no ifs in this world.

Now Menma and his Hikage Village forces have become a real threat to the interests and safety of the Iwagakure Village.

Even if I feel pity.

Ohnoki also wants to completely resolve this hidden danger.

He would not allow the emergence of a second Konoha!

Chapter 426 The So-Called Prophecy

The northern border is becoming increasingly tense and solemn.

Ōnokina's continued sending of reinforcements, even though the war has not yet started, has made the Kumogakure and Konohagakure think that the one that has reached an agreement with the Kirigakure must be the Iwagakure, especially the Konohagakure. You know, after the previous war, the Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village personally sent envoys to contact them, in order to deal with Menma and the Hikari Village together.

But there is no further follow-up.

But now! ?

This is a situation of being attacked from both the north and the south.

Doesn't it simply prove Oonoki's ambition?

This was not just Tsunade's opinion. Even Shikaku was deceived subconsciously. Who made the intention of the Iwagakure's actions too obvious? ?

As for the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village, we can only guess. It is not certain that there is collusion between the Hidden Iwagakure Village and the Hidden Mist Village. We can only say that they are the most suspected.

They in Konoha have solid evidence.

It has only been a few months since that special diplomatic conversation, and it is only mid-June now.

The Iwagakure Village could no longer endure this.

How could this not allow the Hidden Leaf Village to put the blame squarely on the Hidden Leaf Village?

As soon as the war broke out, a large number of Rock Ninjas began to gather in the northwest. The war lasted for less than half a month. From the information currently available, it can be confirmed that in the border area of ​​the neighboring Earth Kingdom, Water Trap Kingdom, and Fire Kingdom, the number of Rock Ninjas has exceeded three to four thousand, and is still increasing.

The man named Huang Tu, who was hailed as the likely successor to the Fourth Tsuchikage, appeared in person at the front line.

In theory, the goal is to wait for allies' requests for help at any time and then send troops to assist.

But what is the actual intention? Isn't it just like the lice on a bald man's head - it's obvious!?

However, complaining in your heart is one thing.

Overt actions are another matter.

That is, no matter what the attitude of the Iwagakure is, Tsunade will not make a judgment personally at least before the Iwagakure takes formal action. This is also Shikaku's suggestion if the war is limited to the Hikari Village and the Kirigakure Village.

Then let them fight to the death.

No matter what the result is.

They, Konoha, should not get involved, unless an almost impossible miracle really happened, and the Hidden Mist Village defeated the frontal army of the Hidden Light Village with its own strength, then they, Konoha, should consider whether to change the plan.

if not.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the best option.

Tsunade also listened to Shikaku's advice very well.

The direct approach is to keep the troops in place, and at most ask the border troops of neighboring countries to strengthen their defenses.

In the end.

Ninja villages of various countries so far.

Still, he did not do what Obito expected and immediately join the siege of the Hikari Village.

Any high-ranking leader of a ninja village is not an easy person to deal with. If there is an opportunity, it depends on how big the "opportunity" is. Menma and his Hikari Village have already proved their strength in previous wars.

Therefore, the attitude towards Menma's forces must undergo a fundamental change. This is no longer the previous Takigakure Village + Kusagakure Village, but a force that can truly rival the five major countries, and is still the dominant one.

Just because of an attack from the Hidden Mist Village, they could just abandon their previous judgment and join in! ?

All I can say is that Obito was a little too naive to overestimate the judgment of these ninja village leaders.

These people are almost the kind of people who won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit.

And that is when the ninja villages of various countries in the ninja world returned to the stage of military stalemate, in a special psychic space.

In a mountain range that looks like a paradise.

"puff!"

A thick white smoke appeared out of nowhere, and then dissipated. At that moment, a tall figure wearing a red coat and a forehead protector with the word "oil" on it appeared there.

On the opposite side stood two small toads.

They are the two toads Fukasaku and Shima, and this place is one of the three famous holy places - Myoboku Mountain.

That figure was none other than the so-called hero of Konoha, Jiraiya, who was immersed in the huge lie of the Child of Prophecy woven by Myoboku Mountain.

"Why did you call me here so urgently, Boss Fukasaku, Boss Shima? The situation in the ninja world is very critical right now. The previous war has not been completely resolved, and a new war has broken out. I can't leave Konoha for too long."

The moment Jiraiya appeared, he looked at Fukasaku and Shima with a slightly solemn expression and said.

The current Konohagakure Village is completely supported by Tsunade and Jiraiya. Although Jiraiya also attaches great importance to the existence of the "Child of Prophecy", the safety of Konoha still has a great weight in Jiraiya's heart.

If possible, I hope to take both into account.

"It is related to this war. No, it should be said that it is more related to Uzumaki Menma. Since that war, we two old bones have reported the specific situation to the Great Sage, but the Great Sage has not responded until yesterday afternoon. He woke up from his sleep and brought a new prophecy directly. This is more important. Little Jiraiya, this time it was the Great Sage who called you here."

Toad at one side said solemnly.

The moment Jiraiya heard this, his expression straightened.
