Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 12: One Year and Genocide
But what Naruto didn't notice was when he turned around and focused his attention back on Iruka and the other classmates.

Menma, who was sitting in the back, gave his back a deep look.

Envy, jealousy or even a hint of resentment?

Maybe all of these.

But just as Naruto felt a momentary sense of intimacy with Menma.

Menma, who was 100% sure that they were brothers, had an even more special feeling towards Naruto. All his sufferings had nothing to do with Naruto, and it was impossible for Naruto to be like him and have a strong sense of self as soon as he came into this world.

Naruto was just a being who was half-tricked by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Menma was indeed jealous of Naruto's current living environment.

Even at certain moments, I couldn't help but feel resentful.

Why are they treated so differently when they are all born of the same parents? But blood is thicker than water, which restrains Menma's negative emotions. He can hate everyone else, but he can't hate Naruto!

This is my own brother!

Even though he was born just a little later than himself, Menma was certain that he was the older brother and Naruto was the younger brother.

Another important reason is that Menma also had a younger brother in his previous life who was just as carefree and optimistic in character, which seemed to overlap a bit with Naruto.

It made Menma's feelings towards Naruto even more special.

"Naruto, I hope your future won't be the exact opposite of mine."

After Menma took a deep look at Naruto's back, he thought silently in his heart.

"Very good, now everyone has a preliminary understanding of each other. From the moment you step into the ninja school, you can be considered a quasi-ninja. How high you want to achieve in the future depends on talent and hard work. For those who are lazy, don't even think about becoming an excellent ninja in the future. It's even a question whether you can graduate. I don't think you want to see your classmates graduate one after another while you are held back forever, right? This depends on how hard you work! If the foundation is not solid, the whole world will shake. I hope you can remember this sentence!"

Iruka looked at the dozens of little guys below with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice.

Listen or not, go in.

Can you fully understand it?

This is not very important at the moment, but the initial attitude must be made clear!
As a class teacher.

Iruka doesn't want any students to fall too far behind in the next six years.

This is his duty as a teacher.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"

The children below at least appeared to be cooperating with their homeroom teacher, and they responded in unison at this moment.

"Well! Very good, then, let's start with the first lesson, what is a ninja, and what is the essence of a ninja..."

The first day of ninja school.

It is so peaceful and stable.

Although Menma's admission caused quite a stir within a certain range, it ultimately caused too much commotion. In the current Konohagakure Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen still possesses absolute prestige and power.

In other words, the older the elderly get, the more indecisive they become.

Otherwise, let alone other people, even Danzo Shimura would not be able to cause any waves as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen did not allow it.

After all, the fact that Danzo could do so many evil things was half Danzo's fault, and the other half was the result of Sarutobi Hiruzen's own indulgence.

Therefore, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is more resolute.

There won't be too many problems in Menma's daily life and education.

In fact.

On the first day in the ninja school, Menma encountered many strange looks from "ordinary people", but no one stood up to question it, because it was the "Hokage's order"!
They can discuss it in private.

When there are few people around, he looks at Menma with naked hostility.

But it must never be shown in public.

Of course, this doesn't make any practical sense.

But Menma was already satisfied. It was just a sight, and it wouldn't cost him a thing, so why would he care?!
The sun sets. Dusk falls.

The first day of the ninja school ended.

Menma was the last one to leave the ninja school. He stood at the main entrance and looked at the teaching building enveloped in the afterglow.

Looking at the children leaving in other directions towards the sunset.

Menma looked a little cold, this was not where he belonged.

It is a cage that binds Menma.

One day, he will break this cage with his own hands and gain true freedom.

"This is the real first step! No one can restrict my future! ! "

After taking a deep breath, Menma turned around and walked along another path. He walked farther and farther away, and his figure gradually merged into the shadows.

The beginning of his ninja school career.

in the coming days.

Menma's life was much more regular than in the past five years, and his life rhythm could almost be described as a repetitive one.

Ninja school - home - personal training ground in the jungle.

While constantly strengthening your physical fitness.

It is also to improve one's control over chakra little by little.

And just a few months after entering school, Menma officially put chakra stabilization control on the agenda.

The two most basic chakra controls are climbing trees and treading water.

It should also be incorporated into your own practice plan.

When there is no way to learn ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu.

These basic trainings have been the focus of Menma's training in recent times.

As Menma devoted himself to it, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than a year later.

It is June of the 55th year of Konoha.

On a certain morning.

As usual, Menma finished his morning exercise and headed towards the ninja school.

Along the way, they encountered several ninjas who were in a hurry.

There was a stern look on every face.

On the road that must be passed.

Some people who could be seen in the surrounding areas also had expressions of shock, fear, and disbelief on their faces.

"Huh? What on earth happened!?"

As long as there is nothing wrong with your eyes and brain.

It is obvious that something big must have happened in the village.

But Menma couldn't tell what was going on.

However, this doubt only lasted until the ninja school, when the class time had already passed, but there was still a figure that had not arrived.

Menma suddenly understood.

"So this is the story of the Uchiha clan being annihilated!"

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's empty seat.

Menma also immediately recalled one of the most important plots in the original work.
