The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

No matter what the reason, since the establishment of the Hidden Light Village and the end of the Menma succession ceremony, the smoke of war between the ninja villages of various countries has indeed slowly dissipated.

Including the Hidden Cloud Village, to which the woodman belonged, who was released after Menma pulled out the two-tailed beast, after weighing the pros and cons.

The fourth generation Raikage still suppressed his anger.

Just like his father was surrounded and killed by the Rock Ninja many years ago.

The weak Hidden Cloud Village could not retaliate, so it could only endure it. This is the basic quality that a shadow must have.

Moreover, it is unknown what considerations.

The news that the woodman lost the two-tailed beast but was still alive, the fourth generation Raikage chose to conceal it for the time being. Perhaps this is what the fourth generation Raikage thinks is more in line with the interests of his own ninja village.

And it was under such a situation that the entire ninja world seemed to have returned to the peaceful atmosphere of the past ten years.

Then time slowly passed.

February, March, April.

For three full months, the ninja world was indeed without any disturbance.

The small ninja villages finally put down their worries. Although they knew with their toes that there would be no real peace in the ninja world, according to convention, they should still be able to enjoy at least three or four years of good times.

The leaders of these small ninja villages were very optimistic in their hearts.

The ninja villages including Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sandagakure were all slightly relieved because of this peaceful situation.

Especially the Sandagakure Village.

Maki really couldn't bear to see any war break out now.

The small arms and legs of the Sand Village can't stand the destruction of other ninja villages at all. To be honest, it was only because Takigakure and Kusagakure that Menma merged them. Otherwise, the former Takigakure alone could probably compete with the current Sand Village. If it was a few years ago, when Hanzo of the Salamander was still at his peak, the Rain Village could even be evenly matched with the current Sand Village.

To put it bluntly.

If it weren't for the number of ninjas, there was still a little bit of foundation in the past, and the two old guys Chiyo and Ebizo were still alive, the Sand Village would really have fallen directly.

Now, with the name of a big country ninja village and the title of Kage, it is really a bit too forced.

After consecutive defeats in major wars, the vitality that has not been restored for more than ten years, another generation of Kazekage died inexplicably, and the tailed beasts have to rely on the kindness of other ninja villages to return. How can such a ninja village become a climate?

Maki himself is very clear about this.

Therefore, Sand Village is the one that has been dormant the most thoroughly.

Seeing the ninja world stabilize.

Maki is really happy from the bottom of his heart.

Because, in his opinion, he can finally calm down and lick the wounds of his own ninja village.

Maki now hopes for the growth of the next generation.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari are the most attractive to Maki. Even if the halo of being the fourth-generation wind shadow girl is put aside, the talent and potential of Gaara and the other two are also among the best in Sand Village.

Not counting the power of Shukaku, the one-tailed beast.

Gaara's upper limit can also touch the level of Kage.

Maki saw all of this.

He just planned to be the "paperhanger" of Sand Village. As long as he can ensure that Sand Village will not have any problems in the next few years, and then recover its vitality bit by bit, it will be enough until Gaara grows up completely.

Maki plans to unload his burden.

The position of Kage.

Although the overall quality is considered, personal strength is still the first priority. Did Danzo fail in the competition for Hokage? Was it really because of his hesitation in the decision to leave behind?

No!

This is obviously just Danzo's own conjecture.

In fact.

That was just Tobirama's last test of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, no matter from what aspect, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the most outstanding young man of that generation, and his personal strength is also the strongest. At the time when Tobirama chose to leave behind, Sarutobi Hiruzen had at least infinitely close to the level of Kage (Sarutobi Hiruzen was still very outstanding when he was young. The title of Ninja Hero was not self-proclaimed by him, but was recognized by the ninja world and was enough to prove Sarutobi Hiruzen's outstanding performance in his youth and even before his prime.)

This is the most important reason why he was chosen by Tobirama as the successor.

The same is true for the Sand Village today.

The only person who can inherit the title of Kage is Gaara.

It can be said that during this period of time when the war was far away, and even for a long time in the future, in addition to focusing on handling the internal and external affairs of the village, Maki will use all his remaining energy and time to train Gaara, and he has deliberately arranged a series of tasks with special significance for Gaara.

The purpose is to hone Gaara while improving his prestige and popularity in the village. Of course, this is also based on the premise that Gaara's personal character has obviously undergone a positive change. Otherwise, with Gaara's previous attitude, no matter how much Maki thinks of Gaara, he would never train him as the next generation of Kazekage.

"Well, very good. This time the mission was completed very well. Just follow this rhythm. The next mission is to communicate with the daimyo. You also need to wait for the daimyo's order. You can take a rest these days. ”

In the first year of Koyakure, Konoha 62, May, May, the Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village, in the Kazekage building that also towered in the core area of ​​Shinobu Village.

Ma Ji sat on Feng Ying's exclusive seat.

Looking at Gaara, Temari, and two other young Suna ninjas wearing Sunagakure Village's standard vests and clothes in the lower position, he said with a smile.

I won’t mention Temari.

For now, as long as it's Gaara's mission.

Maki would either arrange for Temari or Kankuro to be together. One of the two siblings must accompany Gaara.

The rest is to recruit the best people from the young Suna ninja in the Ninja 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 greatly due to the stimulation he received from being captured by Konoha, but he has become willing to communicate with others and his temper has become stable. The Gaara who came down was the Gaara who best served the justice and interests of Sunagakure Village.

Just like the previous generation Jinchuuriki of their Ninja Village, Lord Fenfuku.

That is the most perfect Jinchuuriki.

"Yes, Teacher Markey."

Gaara still had a calm look on his face, nodded slightly and said.

As a fourth generation son.

Still a member of Team Makey.

It also had Ma Ji’s personal permission.

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

This is the advantage of blood identity.

"Well, go ahead."

Marky waved his hand.

"yes."

Gaara left with Temari and two other young Suna ninjas.

"Are you really ready to make Gaara the next Kazekage? Maki."

After Gaara and the others were completely gone.

In the far left position of the office, Chiyo, who had been keeping his eyes closed since the beginning, slowly opened his eyes at this moment, looked directly at Ma Ji who was on the throne and asked softly.

"Yes, Sir Chiyo, I have always felt that Gaara is the most suitable candidate in our village. No, I should say that he is the only suitable candidate. The name of Kage cannot be tarnished. In fact, my strength and size are not worthy of this status. , Gaara’s current strength, future potential, or bloodline identity all meet the standards. It doesn’t need to be too long. I have a hunch that within five or six years at most, Gaara will definitely become a If you are a qualified Kage, at that time, I will directly retire and fully promote Gaara to ascend to the position of Kazekage. I think you should also agree, right?"

Ma Ji took a deep breath, turned around, faced Chiyo's extremely cloudy eyes, nodded heavily and said.

The rise of a shadow.

It requires support from all aspects.

One's own strength is only the most basic and fundamental condition.

Specific to Sunagakure Village, if Maji is optimistic about Gaara, he still needs the approval of Chiyo and Ebizo. The status of these two in Sunagakure Village is just like the former Genshi in Kirigakure Village. Maji The reason why people in Sunagakure Village can be quickly stabilized is also because of the support of Chiyo and Ebizo.

He was a ninja of the same era as the Third Kazekage.

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

Back then, his puppet technique shocked the entire ninja world. It is indeed an exaggeration to say that Chiyo has Kage-level strength. However, relying on his status as a top puppet master, Chiyo was definitely the most powerful quasi-kage-level existence at his peak. A kind of ninja who can compete with the Kage level.

Prestige and qualifications accumulated in all aspects.

This is why the current handover of Kazekage in Sunagakure Village is impossible without the support of Chiyo and Ebizo.

Gaara's identity is a bit special after all.

An example of a Jinchuuriki becoming a Kage. In the history of the original Five Great Nations, there was only one Goju Yagura, but he was still the type who rose to power first and then became a Jinchuuriki later. There is not that much in common, let alone Kirigakure. The village has always been a unique point among the original five countries.

Not to mention facial numbness.

Guangyin Village was built by people themselves.

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

But Maki firmly believed that Chiyo would definitely recognize his judgment. Just like 2 years ago, when the Yondaime-sama unexpectedly died in battle and his family's ninja village was defeated, Chiyo stepped forward and pushed him to the top, but later did not fight for any real power.

For such a respected Ninjamura senior, Ma Ji believed that he would make the most correct judgment and would never be limited by the so-called secular views.

Gaara's succession to the Sixth Kazekage is the key to their Sunagakure Village's re-emergence, at least that's what Maki thinks.

"Haha, you are still the same as before, Maki. Indeed, Gaara is also the most outstanding one among the next generation of our Sunagakure Village. It is okay for him to serve as the Kazekage, but this involves There are many problems, Ma Ji, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Chiyo smiled softly at first, then looked at Ma Ji with a solemn look and said.

Since her son and daughter-in-law died in the war, and her only grandson defected, Chiyo's heart was actually half dead. The remaining half was just the obsession left by an old senior who had fought for the village for decades as a Sand Ninja.

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

At the very least, it should be on the same level as other ninja villages.

Chiyo is not an idealist, let alone fantasy. Therefore, she knows that it is very difficult to do this. The problems of the Sand Village cannot be solved overnight. Over the past few decades, there has not been a single war that has been victorious. This can explain many problems and prove the weakness and failure of the Sand Village.

To break this situation.

Their Sand Village is about to usher in a decisive change.

Gaara's promotion to the Wind Shadow is the most critical step.

But this step is also very difficult. Although the Sand Village seems to have nothing, the more such a ninja village is, the more complicated the internal struggle is. The small temple has strong demons and the shallow water has many turtles. This is what it means.

"Yes, Master Chiyo, I have already prepared for this. Gaara will definitely become the Wind Shadow one day in the future, and I firmly believe that Gaara can lead our Sand Village out of trouble!"

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

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

Chiyo also said softly in a very gentle tone.

"Just wait and see!"

If you must say it.

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

As a ninja village that has been sinking for nearly 30 years, Gaara is indeed the only hope for their Sand Village to rise. It is indeed difficult for a person to lead a country or a ninja village if he is not as powerful as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

But an outstanding leader can more or less make a force present an upswing trend.

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

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

Gaara's experience in this life is very different, but from the perspective of personal performance and future prospects, the Sand Village still needs to rely on him.

If the future development of the ninja world is still the same as the past few ninja world wars, the Sand Village may not have no chance to rise again.

Change little by little.

Gaara becomes stronger little by little.

He will become the backbone and pillar of the Sand Village!

Super personal talent.

With the support of Shukaku, the one-tailed beast.

There is no problem for Gaara to become a strong and high-level shadow-level existence.

However.

The arrival of Menma 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. Whether he succeeds or fails, the future that Maki and Chiyo envisioned is almost impossible to come.

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

Menma has already made the corresponding awareness.

He is about to take the most important first step to the starry sky.
