The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

Let’s consider this great melee as coming to an end. If we count from the first fierce battle between Taki and Kumo, this war that swept the entire ninja world has just passed for a little over a month. Of course, judging from past experience, it is not necessarily possible to say that this war is completely over.

In the previous three ninja world wars, there was also a short period of time in the middle when the five major ninja villages did not fight, and then when everyone thought the war was over, fierce fighting suddenly broke out again.

Not to mention that at this moment on the northern battlefield, the large forces of the Hidden Rock Village are still stationed in the territory of the Land of Thunder.

Even if it is only the most marginal territory.

But that is not the Hidden Rock Village after all, not the sphere of influence of the Land of Earth.

No one can be sure whether the Hidden Cloud Village, which has just retreated, will make a comeback. As long as there is a ninja village still in the war mode, the ninja world war cannot be easily ended, but compared with the past.

The current situation has indeed eased a lot.

There are no major conflicts and collisions in various parts of the ninja world.

The fourth Raikage led the frontline Cloud Ninja troops and retreated back to the hinterland of the Land of Lightning.

Anyway, the most important stronghold defense line has been lost.

The completely empty area in the middle has no defensive advantage at all.

Rather than increasing the defense pressure in such an area.

It is better to retreat back.

Anyway, the ninja village and the country are not the same thing.

At this point in the war, the fourth Raikage no longer cares about the attitude of his own daimyo. Choosing the most correct military strategy as much as possible is what he, the fourth Raikage, needs to consider.

As a shadow.

His top priority must be the righteousness of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Then comes the entire Land of Lightning.

Such an order must never be reversed.

Why there is an almost indelible contradiction between the country and the ninja village? In addition to the fear and greed of the high-level politicians and nobles headed by the daimyo towards the ninja village, this mentality of the ninja village is also one of the key reasons.

This time, the defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village, and the loss of so much territory, the daimyo in the capital of the Land of Lightning was furious. This was the first time that the Land of Lightning had suffered such a big loss in so many years.

But the Fourth Raikage still went his own way, without any pressure from the Capital of Lightning.

Ohnoki also seemed to have no intention of pursuing the situation. Taking down the Fengzhui stronghold was enough to ensure that the areas previously occupied by their own ninja village were under their control. The two wars also caused heavy losses to the Hidden Cloud Village. The casualties of four or five thousand Cloud Ninjas were not a small number. Even a strong village like the Hidden Cloud Village was definitely injured.

The two major strategic goals before the war had been achieved. Ohnoki was a very practical person and would not easily choose aggressive strategies and tactics.

Everything still had to be based on high feasibility and sufficient benefits. Otherwise, why did the Hidden Cloud Village use the Akatsuki organization the most among the five major ninja villages? Isn't it because this is the most stable and cost-effective approach in Ohnoki's opinion, which can achieve his own intentions without losing important troops.

All risks are transferred out, and it only requires a certain amount of money. Ohnoki doesn't think this is a bad thing. Even at the Five Shadows Conference in the original work, facing the questioning of the Fourth Raikage, Ohnoki was unmoved, because in Ohnoki's opinion, this is completely what a qualified leader should consider and do.

The war between this time and the Hidden Cloud Village is also the same.

At the moment when the strategic goal is completed.

Ohnoki issued an order for the entire army to stop and rest.

However, pausing the pace of the war and being satisfied with the current benefits does not mean that the Rock Ninja will withdraw immediately. At least it has to wait until the defense line of the Rock Ninja in this area is rebuilt and the threat of the Cloud Ninja is greatly reduced before it can be considered.

Therefore, the extreme military pressure maintained in the front line.

It still adds a layer of dangerous atmosphere to the seemingly stable ninja world.

At least the small and medium-sized countries and ninja villages surrounding the Land of Lightning have always been in a state of trepidation.

As long as the war is not really over and the armies of both sides are still in confrontation, they will never be able to truly return to their former peaceful lives.

Only in the central and southern regions.

The shadow of war has slowly dissipated, especially after the troops of Konoha, Sand Village, Takigakure, and Kusagakure have withdrawn one after another.

The surrounding small countries and ninja villages have breathed a sigh of relief.

It did not last long.

And this war has not really affected or even destroyed the production and life of these countries. From the current point of view, it has only brought a certain degree of mental pressure to the people of these small countries.

With the withdrawal of troops from various countries.

This layer of mental pressure has been eliminated.

Although there has been no formal negotiation, or an armistice agreement, everything in front of them is already a fait accompli.

Menma, who also returned to Takigakure Village, finally felt relieved after multiple investigations and repeated confirmations.

It is impossible to start a war easily, and after deciding to withdraw troops and taking actual actions, it is even more impossible to start it again so easily. Either you have to bite the bullet and fight to the end, or choose to settle down and settle down. Repeated behavior is something that only people with a damaged brain would do.

War is not a child's play.

Even though Tsunade is the Hokage and Jiraiya is highly respected in Konoha Hidden Village, they can't mess around.

The result of chaos will only lead to internal chaos in the Ninja Village, and even in particularly excessive cases, it may shake Tsunade's position.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, this war has indeed come to an end for the time being.

Menma could finally relax and do what he wanted to do.

For example, formally merging Takigakure and Kusagakure villages to establish a truly great nation, and thus allowing himself to fully take over the supreme power of the newly established great nation Ninja Village.

Even though Menma is already the de facto leader, both Wuwei and Shibuki are willing to obey Menma's orders.

But the National Ninja Village still needs to go through relevant procedures.

Justified.

It is of extremely high political significance.

Even if Menma is good in this aspect, regardless of whether it is this life or the previous life, he is a noob, but he has never eaten pork, has he never seen a pig running?

The methods can be naive, but the experience cannot be rich.

But we must have the necessary overall view and determination.

Only after going through this process can Menma truly become one of the highest chess players in the ninja world.

Only then will I have more confidence to realize my plan.

"Are the two villages merging? Of course there will be no problems here in our Takigakure Village, but on the other side of Kusugakure Village, Menma-kun, I'm afraid it's not that suitable, right?"

Late at night.

In a bright house in Takigakure Village.

now.

Only Menma, Shibuki, and Wuwei, who arrived quietly this morning, were among them, after hearing Menma's plan that he intended to execute.

Shenmu was startled at first, and then frowned. After subconsciously glancing at Wuwei in the opposite position, he seemed to be a little cautious and said.

Merging the two villages is naturally the best approach.

But there are also many problems that will arise.

Just the name of a ninja village after the merger is a big problem. Whether it is to continue to use Taki, use grass, or rename the ninja village, it may arouse the opinions of different ninjas.

Especially the first two, if you choose either one, the other party will feel that it is being annexed. Even if the three of them forcefully suppress it, it is foreseeable that the conflict will be 100% buried and explode one day in the future. It's nothing unusual.

Looking at it this way, the only optimal solution is to rename the Ninja Village, but doing so makes Shibaki himself feel a little uncomfortable, let alone the ordinary ninjas below.

Because the name of Ninja Village is no longer just a symbol, but a sense of identity and cohesion.

Easy changes.

It will definitely have an unpredictable impact internally.

Especially this side of Caoyin Village.

To be honest, Shibuki still hasn't understood the relationship between Wuwei, the new leader of Kusakure Village, and Menma.

Is he the kind who will really obey 100%?

Shibuki was really skeptical.

Maybe it's just a simple partnership?

Therefore, Shibuya really thinks that Menma's sudden statement is too abrupt, right?

"Shikigaku-dono, there is no need to worry about Kusagakure Village. Everything in our Kusagakure Village will obey Menma-sama's orders. Even if all members are merged into Takigakure Village, it doesn't matter. Please trust Menma-sama. Everything will be taken care of, and no one will object.”

Wuwei could also clearly hear the profound meaning in Shemu's words. At that moment, he also used the most decisive tone and replied loudly.

You must choose the person who is most trustworthy or loyal to Menma from the current group of companions/subordinates of Menma.

Wuwei and Wuguo father and son will definitely be ranked at the top.

Probably second only to Xiang Lin and tied with Yu Gao.

This is not only because of Menma's great kindness to the father and son, but also because of the strength and methods that Menma has shown, which makes Wuwei and Wuju and his son believe that Menma can definitely achieve great things.

Just change the name of a mere Caoyin Village.

Wuwei didn't think it was anything.

Even if there will be some criticism among the people below.

Wuwei also feels that there is no problem.

The most important thing is that compared with the benefits brought by the merger of the two villages, this problem is absolutely acceptable.

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

Therefore, Wuwei will definitely obey Menma's instructions unconditionally.

When Shenmu on one side heard Wuwei's words, he was shocked. What is enlightenment? This is Chi Guoguo’s awakening.

This is completely a gesture of treating oneself as a subordinate.

The determination is clearly audible.

Shibuya was aware of the relationship between Wuwei and Menma, but a bigger doubt that arose was, 'Why? ’

Shibuki knew a little about what kind of ninja Wuwei was. As a senior grass ninja, he was in charge of the "international prison" - Ghost Lantern City. It is said that he was a guy who killed people without blinking an eye.

He was an extremely cold and iron-blooded ninja.

Such a person would 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 this was deliberately disguised by Wuwei, but then he thought 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 before. Why make it so complicated? Moreover, although Menma was young, Shibuki trusted him very much and felt that Menma would not be the kind of person who would be easily deceived by others.

"Since Wuwei-san said so, then there is naturally no need to worry about anything. So, Menma-kun, when will the formal merger plan begin? And the most important thing is the name of the ninja village after the merger. Have you decided?"

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

"The formal plan has not been finalized yet. I just need to unify the opinions with you two first, and then I need to communicate with the key persons in charge of the two ninja villages in advance. I can't 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 also go back and think about it. I personally think that whether it continues to use Taki or Kusa is not so appropriate. We still need a brand new name for the ninja village, because we are also about to usher in a brand new era."

Menma said with a smile.

The merger of the two ninja villages cannot be achieved by just moving your mouth. There are a lot of problems involved. The most important thing is where is the address of the new ninja village? How to deal with the distance between the two ninja villages?

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

In addition, the opinions of the two daimyo of the Grass Country and the Taki Country must be considered.

Everything cannot be done randomly.

It requires corresponding regulations.

Don't say it's too fast. If you can complete the initial integration within half a year, it will be very efficient.

This is why Menma couldn't wait to call Shibuki and Wuwei to negotiate the merger of the ninja villages just after the war ended, and even some of the subsequent hand-in-hands have not been completely dealt with. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you can get started, everything will be logical.

"Well, what Menma-kun means is that next we should slowly release the corresponding news in the village and let the companions in the village accept it little by little, right?"

"Yes, this is the most basic and most important. Not to mention all, we must at least get the approval of the majority of people. After all, this is not a family, but involves two ninja villages and the common destiny of hundreds of thousands of people."

Menma nodded lightly.
