The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

This is something that the Third Raikage could not have done.

And in the world's cognition.

In the thousand-year history of ninja, there are only two people who can do this, the first Hokage of Konohagakure - Hashirama Senju, and the Shura of the Uchiha clan - Madara Uchiha.

In other words.

Has Uzumaki Menma reached the height of those two people! ?

The high-level officials of the ninja villages of various countries who came to such a conclusion all fell into a dead silence.

This is the scene they least want to see.

This time, not only the small ninja villages are trembling, but even the big ninja villages are going to be in a state of three shocks a day, especially in the Hidden Rock Village. Akagi and Iwazuru, who had just led the reinforcements to the front line, learned of this series of news.

Their first reaction was disbelief.

But after multiple verifications.

Everything is proving that what they heard is a bloody reality.

"How is this possible!?"

On the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Waterfall.

The frontline stronghold of Iwagakure Village.

Akagi and Ganze both stared with their eyes wide open, looking ashen, and kept saying ‘Impossible! Impossible!!’

That was the combination of their Third Tsuchikage + Yellow Earth + two Jinchūriki, and there were still four or five thousand Iwagakure ninjas behind them, and they were all wiped out at once! ?

This was completely beyond their cognition.

Whether it was Akagi or Ganze, how could they accept it! ?

They were almost losing their minds.

“It must be a lie, it must be a lie, how could the Tsuchikage die in battle, how could the Tsuchikage…”

Akagi sat down helplessly, looking like he couldn’t accept the reality at all.

That was not just the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village.

He was also Akagi’s mentor.

Akagi, who lost his parents at a young age, regarded Ohnoki as his biological father. When he suddenly heard such news, Akagi’s state of mind was the most devastated.

On the contrary, Yan Zetsu, as an experienced Yan Ninja over fifty years old, although it seemed very difficult to accept at the beginning, fortunately, he was also a person who had experienced many storms, and he was also the head of the largest ninja clan in Yanyin Village, the Shangshui clan, so he forced himself to calm down.

"No matter what the situation is, we must withdraw our troops first, Akagi, and then send more people to investigate, especially to communicate and negotiate with other ninja villages. Now is the most dangerous moment for the village, and we must take responsibility."

Yan Zetsu also walked forward and patted Akagi's shoulder gently and said.

"Let's do everything according to your words, Yan Zetsu-san."

Akagi heard Yan Zetsu's words and also barely cheered up, nodded slowly and said.

Life must go on after all, and the rest of the people must look forward.

It's just that so many combat forces were lost at once, especially when the high-end combat forces were wiped out.

Yanyin Village is bound to enter a situation of wind and rain.

Just like the Sand Village and the Mist Village before.

To be more precise, it is only slightly stronger than the Kirigakure Village, and even more miserable than the current Sand Village.

The title of a great country.

The current Rock Village has also begun to become unworthy of its name.

Kirigakure and Rock Village are the most direct victims of this war, and Sand Village, Cloud Village and Konohagakure are the biggest stimulated.

It can be said that it is almost when receiving accurate information and repeatedly confirming that it is correct.

The fifth generation wind shadow of the Sand Village—Maki stayed in his office for a long time without saying a word. Facing a new era of "Uchiha Madara" and "Senju Hashirama" level existence, this is a result that any ninja village will be afraid of.

No one wants to face such an existence.

Unless he is a family member.

Unfortunately, it is an enemy.

Therefore, the silence is only a moment.

Maki made a decisive judgment and immediately sent people to contact the major ninja villages. He had to see what the attitude of the ninja villages of various countries was before deciding what the next strategy of their Sand Village would be.

And the most important one here is Konohagakure! !

On this point.

Other ninja villages have reached an almost unanimous consensus.

The fourth Raikage Ai also sent his most trusted subordinate, Dodai, to Konohagakure Village at the first time. The current situation is very different from before, no matter how much the power of Hikari Village will expand.

Even if there is only Uzumaki Menma left now.

Ninja villages in various countries can no longer face it with the previous attitude.

Because this is a new "God of Ninja World" or "Shura of Ninja World"! !

The orphan of the fourth Hokage.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konohagakure Village.

It can be said that at this moment, all the pressure came to Konohagakure Village. In fact, the atmosphere of Konohagakure Village was already very solemn and terrible long before the news of the defeat came from Iwagakure Village.

Because Naruto came back with Jiraiya's body.

Almost on the day when Menma and Ohnoki arrived at the front line and just clashed, Naruto returned to Konoha.

In a special room in the Hokage Building.

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya's body lying on the white bed with an expression that was terrifyingly calm.

Although Tsunade was mentally prepared for Jiraiya's death, she was still trembling when she saw Jiraiya die in front of her. The two bloody memories in the past seemed to be revived at this moment. In a perspective that no one noticed, Tsunade's hands hidden behind her were already trembling slightly.

"Naruto, did Jiraiya leave any words?"

Tsunade took a deep breath and asked Naruto, who was also silent.

"No, Grandpa Jiraiya didn't have time to leave any words. Everything happened too fast, so fast that I couldn't react at all."

Naruto raised his head, and his blue eyes were now gray. Naruto couldn't figure out what he was going to do.

His mind was already in chaos.

Right? Wrong?

What should he do?

Naruto's mind was completely frozen.

"Naruto..."

Seeing Naruto's grief, Tsunade wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh in her heart.

Can she blame Naruto?

No.

Because that 'enemy' is his brother, and it is a big mistake made by Konohagakure Village.

Both are Naruto's closest relatives.

Tsunade can understand Naruto's state of mind at the moment.

"Go back and have a good rest first, it doesn't matter, everything will be the right choice, everything will pass, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Naruto..."

Tsunade gently took Naruto into her arms, gently stroked Naruto's head and said.

"Yes... yes... yes... Granny Tsunade..."

The emotion that can no longer be restrained.

The expression that can't be held back at all.

The shaking shoulders.

The tears that slide down.

The sound of sobbing.

At this moment, Naruto's heart was truly released, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of fragmentation.

Tsunade also hugged Naruto more tightly.

Nothing needs to be said.

Nothing needs to be done.

Now it is enough for Naruto to release himself.

The separation between life and death is always the cruelest. For Naruto in this life, because he has not seen his parents in person, he has no special sense of reality. He may feel lonely and sad, and envy other peers, but he can't say that it is a kind of heart-wrenching pain.

But the pain brought to Naruto by Jiraiya's death is unforgettable enough.

This is directly in front of him.

A more exciting scene than in the original.

Naruto, who is less than 15 years old, has a different experience from the Naruto in the original. How can he bear it?

Tsunade also realized this.

That's why she wanted Naruto to vent as much as possible. Crying does not necessarily mean weakness. It is a kind of emotional catharsis.

If you keep it in your heart all the time.

For Naruto, it is a very heavy and cruel thing.

Fatigue, sadness, emotions that are vented all at once.

After Naruto couldn't help crying, he fell asleep in Tsunade's arms.

"Shizune."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

"Send Naruto back to rest first, then notify Iruka to take care of Naruto, and then notify Shikaku, Haiyi, Kakashi and others to come to my office."

Tsunade gently handed Naruto in her arms to Shizune, and then said with a very resolute expression.

Naruto is just a child.

But she is an adult, and even the Hokage of Konohagakure. Naruto can show his weak side, but she can't, especially at the moment when Jiraiya died in the battle, Tsunade must bear all the responsibilities.

This is her "war! ! '

The message was quietly passed on.

The few people who hurried over with a shocked look.

In the office that belonged exclusively to the Hokage, Tsunade sat on the main seat, Kakashi, Shikaku, Haiyi and others stood on both sides, and everyone's expression was extremely heavy and solemn.

Even Shikaku.

It was difficult to hide the shock in his heart at this moment.

Jiraiya died in the battle.

This was an extremely heavy blow to the Hidden Leaf Village, not to mention that he died at the hands of Menma.

The meaning represented was completely different.

Shikaku could already smell the breath of impending storm.

"Shizune should have told you everything, tell me, what should we do next, what kind of situation should we adopt."

Tsunade crossed her hands on the table, looked at Shikaku and others with an unprecedented sternness, and asked in a deep voice.

"First of all, we need to determine the specific battle conditions of the two battlefields. Lord Godai, who is the winner will greatly affect our next judgment. Judging from the fact that Uzumaki Menma can return from the battlefield of Kirigakure Village, As expected, Kirigakure Village should have been defeated, but we need to determine to what extent it was defeated. Then the next key point is Iwagakure Village. Judging from the previous intelligence, the first wave of Light Ninja and Iwagakure The battle of Shinobi should have already begun, and the result of this war is the most important. If Uzumaki Menma can lead the Light Hidden Village to defeat the Iwagakure Village, then, with all due respect, Hokage-sama, we may have to face a It’s a very formidable enemy, and a draw or even a defeat would be the most beneficial development for us.”

Shikaku took a step forward with a serious expression, looked at Tsunade and said.

"Indeed, the outcome of this war is very important..."

Tsunade nodded and said.

For Konoha, the best result is that both sides will suffer losses. As long as the Light Hidden Village is severely damaged and the Iwagakure Village also suffers heavy losses, they Konoha do not need to worry about any problems.

But this possibility is not very high.

Tsunade thought that she knew the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village relatively well. He was an extremely stable old guy. As long as he sensed something was wrong, he would definitely retreat.

Kirigakure Village was defeated.

And Jiraiya died in battle.

It was enough to shock Onoki.

Retreating should be the most likely option for Iwagakure. If it happens again, there may be a stalemate at the border, and it should be difficult for them to break through.

"Of course, we ourselves also need to be prepared. If Iwagakure Village is really defeated, Hokage-sama, my suggestion is to launch a war immediately, unite with Kumogakure Village and Sand Hidden Village, and be sure to suppress Kogakure Village."

Shikaku took a deep breath, looked directly at Tsunade and said seriously.

Guangyin Village cannot expand further.

Uzumaki Menma is already so strong that even Jiraiya-sama can kill him easily. Even though Jiraiya-sama is already injured, this is enough to prove Uzumaki Menma's strength. To be honest, Shikaku's heart I have always had a very bad premonition that Uzumaki Menma's strength is far beyond what he shows.

Maybe he is already as strong as the first Hokage in the past.

But every time this idea comes up, Shikaku himself excludes it. It's not that his reason tells him that it's impossible, but that his emotions don't accept such a development, and Konoha Hidden Village can't accept the whirlpool. Menma became such a being.

can only say.

High IQ is like a deer.

In such a situation, one can only be 'emotional'.

"Take the initiative?"

Tsunade pursed her lips, showing a thoughtful look.

The expressions of Kakashi and Haiichi on the side changed, and they looked at each other subconsciously.

It must be said.

Even though the strategies of the National Ninja Village will change due to changes in the current situation, it is really rare to see repeated changes in a short period of time for the same person and the same thing like Konoha.

But this seems to be a choice that Konoha has to make.

"I understand what you mean, Shikaku, then I will leave all the power to you, so you must be fully prepared!!!"

Tsunade took a deep breath, looked directly at Shikaku and said.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!!!"
