Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 449 Menma's Anger
After all, not all Mist Ninjas chose to give up.

Even though they were embarrassed in front of everyone, a small number of Mist Ninjas still launched a final desperate fight. Even though they knew very well that this was just a meaningless struggle, for the sake of their beliefs and their determination, these Mist Ninjas were willing to die. Among them was the Jonin Hyacinthus, who was the first to serve as the front-line commander and lead the vanguard troops of the Hidden Mist Village to set foot on the territory of the Land of Grass. It should be said that the vast majority of the Jonins still had their own persistence.

Death in battle is their only destiny.

Of course, this is limited to these people.

Of the remaining Mist ninjas, except for a small number of security personnel who were left behind to have more time to escape, the rest chose to kneel down and surrender. This battle completely broke the backbone of the Hidden Mist Village, because the number of Mist ninjas killed in the battle exceeded three thousand, and the number of Mist ninjas captured by the Light ninjas under Menma was as many as five thousand. Of the more than ten thousand Mist ninjas who went on the expedition, only less than one-tenth could leave the territory of the Land of Grass in such a dangerous way. Now they will have to face the pursuit of the Light ninjas. Whether they can successfully return to their own ninja village is an unknown.

Also with the death of a large number of Mist Ninjas, some were defeated.

The Hidden Mist Village's status as a great power can essentially be declared extinct, and the remaining trifles are probably only slightly stronger than the so-called Hidden Star Village, and have completely fallen to the level of a third-rate existence in the ninja world.

And it was obvious that Menma would not miss such an opportunity.

Anyway, we have to take action, and there is no limit on which one to destroy first. Since we all have the corresponding opportunities now, we can just make adjustments and make the Hidden Mist Village the first ninja village to be destroyed.

"No action mulberry, Shemu mulberry."

The light ninjas on the battlefield are in the final moments of cleaning up.

Menma had already thought of the next plan in his mind.

"Yes, Master Menma."

The words that were just shouted out.

When Wuwei and Shimu came closer, Menma was about to say something.

"Master Amakage, there is an urgent message from Master Karin in the village."

A light ninja dressed as an Anbu also came quickly from a distance, knelt on one knee to salute, and immediately took out a miniature scroll from his arms and presented it to Menma in front of him.

"Village?"

The moment Menma heard the words of the Anbu, he frowned and a bad omen emerged in his heart.

He took the scroll directly, shook it lightly, and quickly spread it out, revealing the contents recorded inside.

Menma's expression changed slightly.

Because it's just the front and back feet.

This scroll not only records the information about the massive invasion of the Iwagakure Village, but also the information about Jiraiya who later invaded the village and took Naruto away. The former is not a big deal, as Menma had already anticipated and prepared for it, but the latter is really beyond Menma's expectations.

Jiraiya invaded their Hikari Village alone! ?
Is the inertia of the original story so strong!? Jiraiya must choose a ninja village to invade alone, right!?

But he succeeded! ?
"Very good, very good. Since you dare to do this, it seems that you have made the corresponding preparations. Don't blame me then."

Menma exerted a little force with his hands and muttered in a low voice with a hint of coldness.

As Wuwei and Shemu were both shocked, the scroll turned into pieces and drifted away in the breeze.

"After the mopping-up, the rest of the matter will be left to you two to handle, Wuwei-san and Shemu-san. The pursuit will only go as far as the Kingdom of Rivers. Don't go any deeper. Just give those guys from the Kingdom of Rivers a little bit of a beating. The next step is to re-consolidate the defense line. Something happened in the village, and I have to go back to deal with it."

Menma took a deep breath, raised his eyelids slightly, looked directly at Wuwei and Shibuki who were nearby and gave the order.

"Yes, Master Menma!"

Wuwei and Shimu also bowed in unison and replied.

Menma nodded slightly.

"Whoosh!"

With a kick of one foot, his figure disappeared from the spot and flew towards the northeast at a high speed.

Naruto must not leave his control.

Jiraiya will have to pay the price for his reckless behavior.

With such determination, Menma increased his speed to the extreme.

Pursuit to the limit.

Exchange of identities.

It was only less than two or three years.

Jiraiya and Naruto, who had just escaped from the East District of Hidden Light Village, thought they could leave this area smoothly and return to Hidden Leaf Village in a more stable way, but how could Toneri let them go just like that! ?
Chase him all the way.

The distance between the two sides has never been widened, and has always been controlled at a very delicate distance.

As for the Anbu directly under Karin who were further away, they were completely left behind. It was completely impossible for these ordinary ninjas to keep up with the speed of Jiraiya, Naruto, and Toneri. No matter how hard they tried, the distance between them was still widening. They could only barely keep up behind, relying on the search for traces to determine the general direction, and then pass the information they collected back to the village.

But the longer the time goes, the more they will fall behind, and sooner or later they will lose them completely. Even so, as long as they have not lost them completely, these Anbu people will continue to follow closely. This is the order of their own Lord Karin, and the person they are chasing in front is their own Lord Menma's own brother. No matter what, he must be taken back.

One after the other.

The pursuit formation deployed.

Jiraiya, standing on the head of the Mighty Toad, looked at Toneri hanging behind him from afar, with a hint of anxiety between his brows. He really didn't expect that there was someone who could catch up with the speed of the Mighty Toad.

The key is.

at such a distance.

From time to time, Toneri was able to attack them with ninjutsu.

This also means that wanting to escape by using the reverse summoning technique has become a luxury, because although this technique is a unique escape technique, it has extremely high requirements for summoning beasts, and not all beasts can use it. Secondly, it also requires a relatively stable environment, and it doesn't need to be too long, two or three seconds is still needed.

There is absolutely no problem with the former, and Fukasaku is able to do that.

But the latter.

Sheren just didn't give any chance at all.

Just like Jiraiya who sneaked into the Hidden Rain Village in the original work, he killed the Animal Path Pain in the inner wall of the toad. He actually had a 100% chance of using the reverse summoning technique to escape, but in order to confirm the information of Six Paths Pain, he took the initiative to show up. In that short period of time, there were strong chakra fluctuations around him and he was also under attack. No matter how capable the two toad sages of Myoboku Mountain were, it was impossible for them to reverse summon Jiraiya.

This is also a very reasonable development. If the reverse summoning technique can really ignore the environment and all negative factors and can directly summon the host away, then it is simply one of the most buggy techniques in the ninja world.

There was absolutely no way that Jiraiya would die at the hands of Six Paths Pain.

It is natural to have such restrictions.

This is in line with 'common sense in the ninja world'.

"Grandpa Jiraiya, why don't we stop and have a good chat with Karin and the others, as well as with my brother. I believe we can still understand each other. My brother just uses different methods from us, and his goal is also for peace in the ninja world. Grandpa Jiraiya, I will definitely be able to convince my brother."

Looking at Jiraiya whose face was getting paler and paler.

Naruto couldn't help but speak. Although it was just a simplified version, it was still the Golden Wheel Tensei Explosion. Jiraiya's injury was not an ordinary broken arm injury. The chakra lingering on it was eroding Jiraiya's body bit by bit, and even further hurting every cell. If he didn't get timely treatment, Jiraiya might be in danger of his life.

"No, Naruto, Menma has gone completely insane. The Great Sage predicted that Menma's actions could destroy the world. Of course I will believe you, but not now. At least I have to wait until you return to Konoha. This place is not far from the border of the Land of Fire. As long as we cross this distance, we can go home."

Jiraiya said with an obviously weak but firm tone, shaking his head heavily.

Menma is no longer credible.

As a staunch supporter of Mount Myoboku, since the Great Sage predicted that Menma was very likely to bring destruction to the world, Jiraiya would believe it 100%.

It's not that I won't give Naruto a chance.

But Jiraiya hopes that Naruto can grow further.

The son of prophecy who brings the light of peace to the world.

This will definitely be Naruto's miracle.

Just wait until that day comes.

Jiraiya believed that Naruto would be able to solve all the problems smoothly. They had been away from the Hidden Light Village for five or six hours and were about to reach the border between the two countries. As long as they could successfully enter the territory of the Land of Fire, a series of subsequent matters would be easy to arrange.

"But Grandpa Jiraiya, your injuries..."

Naruto still found it hard to accept.

"My injury is fine, Naruto. As long as we return to the village, Tsunade will treat it for me. It's just a broken arm. The important thing now is to return to the village."

Jiraiya still shook his head and said stubbornly.

His understanding has completely taken the shape of the Myobokuyama prophecy.

At this point, whether the prophecy of Mount Myoboku is more important or the safety of Konohagakure Village is more important, perhaps even Jiraiya himself can no longer tell the difference.

The only thing that is certain is.

From the moment Jiraiya took off the forehead protector of Konoha ninja and put on the forehead protector with the word "Ayu" representing Myoboku Mountain a dozen or so years ago, Jiraiya was no longer just the "hero of Konoha".

He is the spokesperson for the so-called three sacred places - Mount Myōboku.

Seeing Jiraiya's resolute look.

Naruto swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and could only silently plan in his heart that he must contact his brother as soon as possible after returning to the village. Naruto felt that he had found the basis for mutual understanding and communication with Menma. Even if there were still some differences, it didn't matter. As long as he gave himself some time, he could definitely eliminate this layer of estrangement.

The problem now is to get Grandpa Jiraiya back to the village safely.

"Well, I understand, Grandpa Jiraiya, let's go back first."

Naruto also nodded heavily and said.

Hearing Naruto's words.

Jiraiya also forced a smile on his face. It was not only because Naruto was not overly stubborn, but also because the border was already in sight. Even if Toneri was chasing them closely, Jiraiya believed that as long as they entered the control area of ​​their Konohagakure Village, Toneri would no longer threaten them. And just when Jiraiya was about to say something.

"Go back!? Where to go!?"

Suddenly.

When a cold voice fell.

"What!?"

next second.

"whoosh"

After a flash of blood-red light.

At the front position where the powerful toad jumps.

A familiar and upright figure also appeared directly in the eyes of Naruto and Jiraiya.

The moment I saw this figure.

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly shrank.

Naruto also showed a look of surprise.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Those were the words that Naruto muttered directly in his subconscious mind.

This figure was none other than Menma who had just rushed over from the Land of Grass.

An ordinary ninja might not be able to cover the distance in a whole day, but Menma only spent a few hours to intercept Jiraiya and Naruto, although the distance was not in a straight line, but an angled pursuit.

But this is enough to prove how exaggerated Menma's speed is.

At this moment, Menma's whole body was surrounded by an extremely strong murderous aura, and a powerful chakra aura burst out.

The moment it hits you.

Even Jiraiya and Naruto, who had entered the Sage Mode, couldn't help but hold their breathing.

"Why am I here!? If I'm not here, won't it be easy for you to escape!? Naruto, you really betray my kindness time and time again. Do you really think that I won't kill you!?"

Menma looked at Naruto with full murderous intent and said in a cold voice.

Leave Naruto alone.

It’s just to give an explanation to my parents in this life.

The grace of life.

You still have to admit it.

Especially after meeting his mother in this life in person, the soft layer in Menma's heart was touched to some extent.

But there is a big premise here, that is, Naruto should not cause trouble.

"No, brother, you misunderstood, I just..."

Naruto explained a little anxiously.

"Misunderstanding!? Now give up resistance and come back to the village with me obediently, and I will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, Naruto, you should know my methods!"

Menma said as he looked at Naruto with a cold look.
