The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

On the subject of Menma Uzumaki.

The Fourth Raikage obviously showed his stubbornness. He only believed in his own people, his own people in a pure sense.

After Todai looked at Azabu Yi the same way, he had no choice but to put it down for the time being. Anyway, there will be opportunities later, so there is no need to be too anxious. The advice was based on method, occasion, and timing, not to mention that they are now Haven't you found Menma yet?

"The situation in Konoha is still the same as before. Apart from sending additional forces to the northern border, there is no other movement."

Samui, who was responsible for investigating Konoha's intelligence, also answered directly when the Fourth Raikage's question came to an end.

"Hmph, are you really clueless? Have they still not decided on the candidate for the Fifth Generation?"

The Fourth Raikage said with a slight snort.

"Yes, there is still no more news in this regard, but we speculate that the Fifth Hokage should be that Jiraiya."

"Jiraiya?"

As beings who can be considered to be of the same generation.

In the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War.

The Fourth Raikage Ai has met Jiraiya several times, and he still has a certain understanding of this hero of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Jiraiya becoming the Fifth Hokage is indeed the most likely thing at the moment.

"The intelligence class and the espionage class must conduct more in-depth investigations. No clues can be missed. In addition, Darui, go to the south in person. If you have the opportunity, don't hesitate. I give you full authorization!!"

The Fourth Raikage Ai looked sharply at Darui, who looked lazily on the right side, and said in a tone full of evil spirits.

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

"Yes, I understand."

Azabu Yi and Darui also replied in tandem.

"Hmph, Konoha, I won't miss the opportunity this time!"

The Fourth Raikage Ai first nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he seemed to be able to see the Hidden Leaves Village in the far south, and his brows were filled with evil spirits. said.

Kumogakure is taking action, and Iwagakure is also taking action.

But compared to the fourth generation Raikage Ai's impetuous attitude.

Onoki, who has entered the second half of his 70s, seems much calmer. Of course, we should pay attention to the great changes in Konoha. Of course, we need to search for traces of Uzumaki Menma, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, but we will not invest too much effort. .

For Onoki, the most important thing is to preserve the current situation of his own Ninja Village.

That's what Ohnoki himself said at the high-level meeting.

‘Old man, I don’t need to worry at all. It’s just about seeing what others do first, and taking action later is the way to go! ’

But this is just a matter of choosing differently.

In this situation, the two major ninja villages still hold their own dominance.

Unlike Sunagakure Village, which has already entered the most uncomfortable period of weakness.

The Kage died in the battle and the Jinchūriki was captured.

There were also hundreds of elite sand ninja who died.

It can be said that in the past ten days, Sunagakure Village has really been living like a year. That is to say, Ma Ji quickly invited two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo, to take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, Sunagakure Village will fall apart. .

And even Chiyo and Ebizo can only maintain the situation temporarily.

If the war with Konoha cannot be ended and the captured Suna ninjas led by Gaara are not brought back, it will be impossible for Sunagakure Village to truly settle down. They are the most passive party.

No leadership is in one's own hands.

As for the remaining Kirigakure Village, it has been in a silent standby state from the beginning to the end, and has not released any opinions on the situation this time. Under the attention of those who are interested, there is no sign of large troops marching in Kirigakure Village.

It was as if he had no idea what was going on in the outside world.

This has attracted some people's attention.

Of course, the center of attention is still here in Konoha Hidden Village.

This is not just the opinion of the outside world, but also an internal problem in Konoha Hidden Village. After the news spread that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki-Uzumaki Menma is the biological brother of Namikaze Naruto and the biological son of the Fourth Hokage. .

The outside world almost always takes the attitude of taking advantage of the big melon.

But the public opinion atmosphere in the Fire Country, especially in Konoha Hidden Village, is completely fried.

Especially those people who had spoken evil words to each other, looked at them with disgust and hostility, and some ordinary ninjas at the lowest level were all shocked.

Their not-so-smart brains couldn't understand such an unfolding.

To put it bluntly, it is overloaded.

The demon fox is the son of Yondaime-sama! ?

No one wants to believe this fact, but this fact seems so certain.

‘How is this possible? ’

'That guy and Master Naruto are brothers? ’

'Oh my god, what have I done. ’

‘Yondaime-sama, I’m really sorry for you, I’m sorry for you. ’

‘The demon fox Menma is actually Master Menma? ’

‘No, no, no, I don’t believe it. ’

'Hmph, this must be a trick of the enemy. The demon fox is the demon fox. How could he be Master Naruto's brother? This is impossible. ’

‘That’s right, that monster betrayed the village, how could he be the son of the Fourth Generation? The child of the Fourth Generation would not do such things, he is a complete demon fox. ’

‘But, but, it seems that Menma really looks a bit like the Fourth Generation, right? What if he had blonde hair? ’

‘No, no, I don’t believe it!!! ’

The polarized public opinion certainly has some people who wake up directly and feel very sorry in their hearts, thinking that what they did in the past is sorry for the Fourth Generation and sorry for Menma, and it is also understandable why Menma chose to defect from the village.

But there are also some people who still stubbornly believe that Menma is that demon fox, and they don’t accept the setting of the Fourth Generation’s son.

This is one of the most essential attributes of human beings.

In a sense, it can even be said to be a bad nature.

And there are also more people who directly enter the confused and bewildered mode. They are emotionally unwilling to believe this, but rationally they think it is true. They urgently hope that the village can stand up and explain it.

But at this point.

The Konoha high-level officials chose to remain silent.

Dispel rumors?

This is obviously the fact, how to dispel rumors? In the past, they could pretend not to know, but now that it has been exposed, they still want to deliberately smear it. Whose face are they slapping?

The lower-class people don’t know.

Don’t the senior ninjas in the village and the people in power of the major ninja clans know the truth?

That is the child of the Fourth Hokage, not any other identity.

Still want to smear? Don’t you consider the impact?

Dispelling rumors is impossible and cannot be done. Similarly, the Hidden Leaf Village cannot stand up and admit this. That would also shake the rule of Konoha itself. Silence is not the right thing to do, but it is really the only choice.
