Chapter 224: Revealed Intelligence

PS: I am on duty at the unit today, so the update is late. I am sorry. I have a lot of work to do at the unit recently and I am also busy with the decoration of the house. The update may be unstable. Sometimes the update amount will be more, sometimes less. I hope all book friends will forgive me.

Actually, to be honest, Menma really had no intention of choking Minato at the beginning, although some Naruto fans in the previous life said that Minato didn't have to die, and chose to die with Kushina for love, and that he was a responsible Hokage and a good husband, but definitely not a good father.

But in Menma's opinion, this is a bit of a filter.

Menma felt that Minato would not be that kind of person. Death was definitely not something he chose on his own initiative, but was the inevitable result under the circumstances at that time.

Therefore, whether it is Minato or Kushina.

For Naruto in the original work, he does not actually need to take any responsibility for what happened to Menma in this life, and from the perspective of the couple, their son will definitely be regarded as a hero of the village.

That's for the village. He becomes the container of the Nine-Tails, and is also the son of the Hokage. Plus, Minato and Kushina feel that the Third Hokage, Kakashi and others will definitely take good care of their children, especially Teacher Jiraiya!

Not only Naruto, but all Menma's names in this life come from Jiraiya. However, what the couple never expected was that the Third Hokage would choose that way to "take care of" Menma. Kakashi even chose to ignore it under the high pressure of the Third Hokage, or to be more precise, the collective top leaders of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Jiraiya, the teacher that Minato and Kushina once respected and trusted, also chose not to care about Menma's life.

All of this was beyond the couple's imagination.

Menma himself actually knew this, but he still couldn't help but feel some resentment in his heart.

This kind of children are born with a subconscious tendency to easily feel resentment towards their parents.

Menma eventually acknowledged that Minato and Kushina were his parents in this life.

He is not just a reborn soul, but he is also traveling through time and space and taking over another body.

Instead, he was conceived from the blood of Minato and Kushina, and is their child. Even if they have no feelings for each other, Menma will still recognize him out of kindness.

Therefore, the previous anger was vented out so naturally.

But it was only a few seconds later.

Without waiting for Minato to say anything.

Menma himself reacted.

'I've made these stupid mistakes again. Why should I argue with you?'

He heaved a long sigh of relief and shook his head in self-mockery.

"Menma, you are angry and resentful, I can understand all of this. I did miscalculate back then. I thought the Third Hokage would take good care of you. I thought the things I left for you would make you a hero of the village. All of this went against my wishes and was the result of my irresponsibility. I don't know if it was wrong or right for you to leave Konoha, but I respect your choice, Menma, you are you, you only need to be responsible for yourself. I won't force you to do anything, and I have no right to ask for anything. I just want to say one thing, Menma, don't be blinded by hatred. I don't want my children to embark on an endless path of revenge. Besides, some people are innocent after all, Menma."

Minato quickly calmed himself down, looked at Menma with a pleading look, and spoke softly.

A question of right and wrong.

In fact, Minato himself knew the whole thing clearly.

Konoha has no gratitude towards its own children. It can't be said that there is a so-called grace of nurturing in the past 12 years, right? That's funny. Menma is not an orphan adopted from outside the village, but the orphan of the village's real Hokage, and he also bears the responsibility of Konoha's highest "nuclear weapon". From this point of view, Konoha has the obligation and responsibility to take good care of Menma.

This is not a favor.

It's an obligation!

But Konoha did not fulfill this obligation.

Therefore, even if Minato was only looking at it from the perspective of being the Hokage, he could not blame Menma, not to mention that he had a more important identity, that is, Menma's father.

It’s hard to say whether I agree or not.

But he respects his children's choices.

People should live for themselves first.

But on top of that, Minato didn't want to see his child go down a completely twisted, insane path.

Especially facing Konoha.

Minato at least hoped that Menma would not completely fall into darkness and kill innocent people.

This is both Minato's responsibility as Hokage and his expectation as an ordinary father.

And Menma could naturally understand the meaning behind Minato's words.

"Don't worry, I'm not so despicable as to massacre those people. After all, they are just fools. As long as they don't continue to be stupid enough to stand in front of me, I have no interest in them. The people I want to take revenge on are just those specific guys."

Menma said as he looked at Minato calmly.

Are the people of Konoha hateful?

Of course it's abominable.

While enjoying the peace brought about by Minato's sacrifice, they treated Menma so cruelly. Such behavior is of course despicable.

But we have to look at both sides of everything. After all, these people had relatives and friends who died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and their homes were also destroyed by the Nine-Tails. In addition, high-level officials such as Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately concealed the truth, and Danzo deliberately spread the news. Of course, these ordinary people who have no idea of ​​the real situation will easily direct their anger towards Menma.

This is human nature.

There's nothing to blame.

Of course, the most important reason why Menma could let it go so easily was that these people did not really hurt Menma.

It is Menma's nature to clearly distinguish between what he likes and what he hates.

He can kill any real enemy.

But it is impossible to atone with someone else's life just because someone insulted you or slapped you.

That is not decisive killing, nor is it the pleasure of revenge.

Chunchun is just a mentally twisted criminal.

Even if he chooses to blend into this world, Menma still has his own psychological bottom line. It can be said that Menma is artificial and pretentious, but this is Menma's choice.

Of course, if there really is someone who is blind and still holds high the banner of Konoha justice and chooses to stand in front of him, Menma will also fulfill his justice. Isn't he just wanting to "die heroically"?

this request.

Menma will definitely satisfy you!
Facing his son's still calm eyes.

When I heard these words.

Minato's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

"In that case, that's good, that's good."

Minato didn't know what kind of expression he should show.

But at least this is not the worst outcome, right? You know, Minato is very worried that Menma will take revenge on the entire Hidden Leaf Village regardless of anything, and do things like bloody massacre of ordinary people in the Hidden Leaf Village. That is definitely not what Minato wants to see.

He still hoped that his child could walk on a normal path, even though it seemed a bit out of reach.

But he still hoped so in his heart.

Menma felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Minato seemed to accept his leaving Konoha very easily and finally chose to take revenge on Konoha. Menma expected that his father would try his best to persuade him not to turn against Konoha, and even persuade him to forgive the Third Hokage and those people, and then return to Konoha.

Minato looked too calm.

This was really not what Menma had predicted.

In fact, this is Menma's over-speculation. Does Minato love Konoha? This is an answer that does not need to be doubted. Even a morbid person like Danzo deeply loves this ninja village. It's just that his desire for power and his obsession with the position of Hokage have reached an extremely exaggerated degree.

If even Danzo is like this, there is no need for Minato to doubt it.

But what Minato needs to face now is not some ordinary ninja in the village, nor the enemies from other ninja villages, but the fruit of his love with his beloved, his own son.

I originally felt that I had let my son down, and that the village had also made a mistake.

How could Minato be so shameless as to force his own son to do something?

of course.

There is a more important reason here. Minato felt that he was a dead man after all, and it was most appropriate for the dead not to interfere with the living world easily. Moreover, everything he had done in his lifetime was already very worthy of Konoha.

Regardless of his own death in battle, he also considered his newborn son as the new generation vessel of the Nine-Tails for the sake of the village.

Everything he did was worthy of the title of Hokage.

He fulfilled his duty.

Now, he should look at the problem from his son's perspective. Even the request he just made should be considered for Menma.

"Also, there is your brother Naruto, Menma. Neither I nor your mother want to see you two quarreling with each other. I hope you can..."

Minato raised his eyes again, and there was a look of hope in his pupils.

"This doesn't just depend on me, father. It also depends on Naruto. All I can say is try not to kill him."

The words are not finished yet.

It was interrupted by Menma.

Naruto.

This is indeed the person that Menma is most reluctant to face right now. Originally, in the Valley of the End, Menma had already made up his mind to end it all directly.

But in the end, he was dissuaded by that figure.

This was an opportunity that I gave up.

However, Menma did not feel any regret. It was not that Menma cared about Naruto as much as before, but he chose to do it for the sake of his parents in this life.

Minato heard Menma's answer.

The big stone hanging on my heart was suddenly put down.

As a father, what he was most worried about was this kind of scenario. Whether Naruto killed Menma or Menma killed Naruto, Minato would never be able to accept it.

The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh!
"That's all, Menma, thank you!"

Minato looked directly at his son, who had a face somewhat similar to his own, but had Kushina's beautiful red hair.

The right hand stretched directly towards Menma's head.

Menma subconsciously wanted to resist and avoid it, but in the end he had to restrain himself.

He let Minato stroke his head gently.

Seeing that Menma did not avoid his actions.

The look in Minato's eyes became softer and softer, and the look deep in his pupils was mixed with guilt and regret.

Unlike in the original novel, where Naruto completely relied on himself to get through it and really didn't hate anyone in the village at all, and later became a hero of the village, Minato might have just been comforting himself and ignoring all the unfair treatment he suffered. After all, his own son didn't care, right?
But in this life, Ma has put all the bloody realities right in front of Minato. Not only can he not ignore it, but he must also face this reality.

How would Minato feel about this?

Even someone with Minato's personality would feel dissatisfied and angry.

But after all, he is still the Hokage of Konoha, even if he is a thing of the past and is now just a chakra mark. Given Minato's personality, it is impossible for him to really support Menma's attitude and actions and agree with Menma's revenge on Konoha.

All we can say is that we can advise Mian Ma within a limited scope, and the rest of us can only watch Mian Ma silently do what we want to do and what we have to do.

"Oh, Menma, there is another very important thing. It's the masked man back then. That guy has the Mangekyō Sharingan, can control the Nine-Tails, and knows time-space ninjutsu. He can enter Konoha freely, ignoring Konoha's barriers and all defenses. Although he claims to be Uchiha Madara, I always think that guy is..."

This rare enjoyment can be called a warm moment between father and son.

When he felt that his remaining chakra was almost exhausted.

Minato also thought of a more crucial issue, the words that were spoken directly.

"Uchiha Obito, this is the guy who invaded when your mother was giving birth. He claimed to be Uchiha Madara. He is also your subordinate, father, who is rumored to have died in battle. Behind him is a relatively powerful organization called Akatsuki. The leader is the disciple with the Rinnegan that Jiraiya adopted in the Land of Rain. Their goal is to gather the nine tailed beasts scattered in various ninja villages."

Before he finished speaking.

Menma looked up at Minato with a very calm expression and spoke in a light tone.

Minato was stunned.

The fox eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox on the other side also revealed a scarlet light with special meaning.

"Obito? Menma, what is this?"

The amount of information was too much, and even for Minato, it was difficult to react to the situation at once. After standing there for several seconds, Minato's eyes gradually widened, and an expression of disbelief clearly appeared on his face.

"Yes, it's Uchiha Obito, father. You don't need to doubt this information. I am 100% sure that the problem with that organization is real."

Menma still had that calm expression on his face.

This is a style that doesn't match what is being said at all.

Minato gave a wry smile.

He increasingly felt that his child was very different from what he had imagined.

This information clearly sounds outrageous.

But at this moment, looking at Menma's expression, Minato knew very well that his child was not lying.
