How to properly implement menu with Navigation Controller?

Question

iOS

Good afternoon.
I started to saw the first application and immediately ran into a problem.
It is required to implement the logic, as in the picture.
But I can’t figure out how to do it right:
1. The main menu should be a separate View Controller, which makes Segue in the Navigation Controller and then to the rest of the View.
or
2. Navigation Controller is the main one and is the Initial for the application and the main menu is the Root View for it? I tried to implement this option, but I can’t catch up on how to remove the top bar on the main menu, I don’t need it there)
Please tell me. Thank you very much.
