Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 479: Cruel Killing
PS: I will add another chapter as an apology.

Of course, the Sarutobi clan is not included.

Menma glanced at Asuma with a faint look in his eyes.

Although Menma would not go to the extent of hating Asuma and Konohamaru so cruelly because of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would still do so if he gave them a little trouble.

The same goes for the Sarutobi clan.

Now for the sake of peace.

Menma can allow the Sarutobi clan who do not resist and choose to surrender to be saved. In the future, Menma will create some small difficulties for the Sarutobi clan. Whether the Sarutobi clan can get through depends on themselves.

If possible, it would be the end of everything.

If not, that is their fate.

Menma has always been clear about gratitude and resentment.

After hearing what Menma said, all the Konoha jonin including Shikaku were stunned. The battle had just started on the battlefield and the leader of the opposing side directly persuaded the backbone of the ninja village, them, to surrender?

Isn't this a bit too childish?
It has a very magical feeling.

But no matter who it is, they seem to be able to detect a hint of sincerity in Menma's words! ?

Especially Shikaku, he had a very strong intuition telling him that what Menma said was true.

If they just surrender, it seems like everything can start over again?
Even Shikaku.

At this moment, a slightly terrifying thought uncontrollably emerged in my mind.

After all, people are still afraid of death.

It’s just that everyone reacts differently in the face of death. People who can face death fearlessly don’t really think death doesn’t matter. It’s just because they have things in their hearts that are more important than death, such as family, faith, etc.

There must be a sense of justice in the hearts of Shikaku and others when they fight. It is for the greater good of Konohagakure Village and the safety of the village. But they also have their own personal feelings, for the survival of their families and the continuation of the clan.

This is also human nature.

Humans are not machines.

Yes, you must have your own emotions.

Everything is for justice, everything is for the collective. Such people do exist, but they are rare. The reason why great people are great is because they have such greatness. The rest are just ordinary people.

In Menma's previous life, such people were rare, let alone in this world.

It would be absolutely false to say that Shikaku and the others were not at all moved by Menma's words, but for them, such a choice was also impossible to make easily. Not to mention much else, just the fact that it was against their will was something that Shikaku and the others could not accept.

Especially for Asuma Sarutobi.

His father is the Third Hokage.

Surrender and admit defeat! ?
Others might be able to accept it, but Asuma Sarutobi would never be able to accept it.

"Uzumaki Menma, your father was also the Hokage of Konoha, and he sacrificed himself for the village. Today, are you going to force Konoha like this? Are you worthy of your status by doing this? Are you worthy of the deceased Fourth Hokage and his wife? You are trampling on the efforts of your fathers. Do you really want to destroy Konoha!?"

Asuma Sarutobi took a step forward with a very serious look on his face, holding his chakra blade in both hands, looking at Menma with burning eyes, and spoke word by word.

The purest Hokage bloodline.

He is still the most steadfast defender of Konoha's justice.

The rebellious nature of his early years had long since dissipated, and what remained was a jonin from the Hidden Leaf Village who identified with his father's Will of Fire.

Faced with Uzumaki Menma's obvious intention to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village.

How could Asuma possibly bear this?

"Are you saying the same thing again? You are really just changing the soup for the same old medicine. You'd better stop talking nonsense. Sarutobi Asuma, you should know the ugliness of Konoha better than I do. Do you really have the confidence to say these things? Who gave it to you? The identity of the son of the Third Hokage? It's really stupid and ridiculous. I don't have the heart to waste my breath on these things. The choice has been given to you. You just need to answer me now, whether you agree or refuse. You should keep the extra words to yourself."

Menma's expression turned cold, no longer as gentle as before, and a chilling murderous intent instantly filled the world.

When Asuma heard Menma's words, his expression turned a little ugly. After all, Asuma was not the kind of person who had no shame at all. What he said before was just said subconsciously.

After Menma's blatant rebuttal, he really didn't know what to say in response.

However, even so, Asuma would never choose to surrender here. His surname is Sarutobi, and he is the son of the Third Hokage.

His innate position and identity destined him to make the only choice.

There are some people like this at the scene.

But Menma's patience is limited.

It would be best if you could persuade the other side to surrender, but if the other side is hesitant or just wants to delay time, Menma will directly use thundering means. Having the advantage does not mean that you don't have to pay a price.

After all, the number of allied ninjas is there.

If the battle was prolonged, even if the light ninjas finally won, they would have to pay a terrible price.

This is something Menma must try to avoid before the battle.

A huge amount of chakra pressure was released slightly.

The huge gap between them was enough to make Shikaku and the others on the opposite side hold their breath. The ninjas from the sealing and barrier classes behind them couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Is this still the kind of pressure that a human being can unleash?!

Uzumaki Menma hasn't transformed into a tailed beast yet, right?!

Could it be that the information previously mentioned about Menma Uzumaki defeating the Third Tsuchikage, Yellow Earth, the Four-Tails, and the Five-Tails all by himself was 100% true and without any adulteration! ?

The thought of this.

The ordinary Konoha ninjas all felt an extremely terrifying aura, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It is terrifying when the enemy is strong, but as long as there is hope of victory, even if it is only a theoretical possibility, the ninjas of Konoha will not give up or doubt themselves, because they are the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village. However, when they completely see hope and their hearts are filled with a dark color covered by a heavy haze, even the most determined and powerful ninjas will be shaken.

Not to mention these ordinary ninjas.

As the think tank of the village, it is more likely that he is the highest intellectual figure in the ninja world.

How could Shikaku not see the current predicament?

Honestly.

Surrender seems to be a really good option.

But this thought only flashed through Lu Jiu's mind for less than a second, and then Lu Jiu gave up.

"Why..."

That low sigh.

The moment when Yu Menma narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air came down.

In the high altitude to the left of Menma, Asuma's burly figure appeared.

"The art of shadow imitation!"

At the same time, an extended shadow rushed over from the position below.

The moment I touched Menma's shadow.

"solid!"

Lu Jiu on the opposite side made a hand gesture.

Menma could sense a powerful binding force spreading throughout his body. This was a powerful binding force that ordinary jonin could not easily break free of, and even Kage-level people would be affected to a great extent.

pity.

This 'powerful'.

For Menma, it is powerful in quotation marks.

Menma doesn't care about being restricted at all.

He just looked at Lu Jiu with pity and shook his head slightly.

"It seems that you chose the wrong answer."

Menma raised his right hand slightly.

It was as if he couldn't control his brows at all.

Yu Lujiu seemed to have expected this, but there was still a heavy look on his face.

"Shh!"

The sword of the god of thunder in the right hand raised high.

It was heading straight towards the direction of the attacking Asuma, and it slashed down lightly.

"Keng!"

Immersed in the downward angle.

Asuma's pupils suddenly shrank.

The sword seemed to be moving slowly, but it was approaching in an instant. Asuma could only rely on instinct to twist his body and cross his hands in a blocking posture.

It was at the moment when the two collided that a huge force was transmitted.

"What!?"

Asuma's expression changed.

"Shh!"

The defense was easily broken, and the sword pointed directly at Asuma's face.

"Secret Technique—Wall of Insect Jade."

"Wood Release - Wood Wall Technique"

Between the lightning and flint.

In the left position.

Zhiwei and Yamato, who pressed forward together, seemed to have anticipated this. They clapped their hands in advance and released their unique skills.

At Asuma's perihelion.

The double solid barrier formed seemed so fragile in Menma's eyes, like a piece of thin paper.

"Pfft!"

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

No further effort is required at all.

The Wood Release Wall and the Insect Dance Wall came directly at them without even a pause. Yamato and Zhiwei's pupils shrank subconsciously. Understanding in the mind and seeing with one's own eyes are two completely different concepts.

When they witnessed with their own eyes that Menma could really break their spells so easily, they truly realized how exaggerated the gap in strength between them was.

Fortunately, this double barrier can at least buy a few tenths of a second of time.

Asuma seized the opportunity and pushed off with his feet, trying to increase the distance between them. Just as the sword blade lifted the collar of Asuma's shirt and the edge just broke through the surface of his skin, Asuma managed to create some distance between them.

Avoided this fatal attack.

In the distance, Xihi Kurenai had just arrived at the right wing for support. When she saw her lover avoided the fatal attack, her beautiful ruby ​​eyes immediately showed relief.

If that sword had actually chopped down.

There is absolutely no reason for Asma to be spared.

"Illusion - magic - the art of shackles and hangings."

At the same time.

'Buzz!'

"Wood Release!"

"Boundary Technique!"

When Zhiwei, Yamato, Leitong, and the Konoha ninjas of the barrier class behind them launched an attack together.

Hong also seals the area immediately.

Although he knew clearly that facing the Jinchūriki Menma, his illusion would probably not have much effect.

But whatever works helps.

but.

It was just that moment when Hong's technique had not been completed and the attacking means of others had not arrived yet.

On the original place.

"Eh!?"

"what?"

It seemed like it happened in just a moment.

Menma, who was originally in the sight of Zhiwei, Shikaku, Haiyi, Hong and others, suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Soon afterwards.

Hong only felt a chill all over his body.

Following the instinctive call, Honga suddenly turned her gaze around.

"Asuma!"

Words shouted out subconsciously.

The upward field of vision.

"Pfft!"

What came into view was the scene of Asuma being pierced by a sword full of thunder.

"Do not!!!"

The figure suddenly stopped.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The situation is even more tragic than in the original book, watching the loved one die in front of him.

Kurenai Yuhi let out an extremely shrill cry and ran towards Asuma's position like a madman.

"Did you think you had escaped? Sarutobi Asuma."

Menma slowly walked out from behind Asuma.

Facing Asuma's sideways gaze.

Menma looked indifferent.

He twisted the hilt gently again.

"Zizzsssssssssss!"

Then there was thunder.

All organs are completely crushed and destroyed.

Asma could no longer restrain himself and large amounts of blood spurted out of his mouth. Feeling the power rapidly draining away from his body, his vision quickly dimmed.

In the final frozen second.

The one I saw was Xiurihong running towards me with tears on her face.

'No, Red. . . Run. . . . '

at this moment.

Asuma truly regretted not surrendering just now.

But it was too late.

Hands that can no longer be raised.

The last trace of sound was completely lost.

"thump."

The moment Yu Menma suddenly pulled back the Thundergod's Sword, Asuma's body fell limply to the ground in front of him, his wide eyes full of regret.

Not the fear of your own death.

Instead, he was worried about his lover and his companions.

The power of Uzumaki Menma was truly beyond the limits of their cognition.

"Red, calm down."

Shikaku was also extremely shocked when he saw that Menma could move so quickly and kill Asuma directly, but the next second, when he saw Hong rushing towards Menma desperately, his face changed.

"Haiyi! Zhiwei!"

But Hong, who had lost her mind, would not listen to Shikaku's cries.

The words that were shouted out hastily.

"what!"

"Ok!"

Yamanaka Inoichi and Aburame Shiwei also responded in unison.

Each of them quickly formed seals and prepared to release the technique.

"Secret Technique - The Technique of Insect Subjugation."

"The art of changing one's mind."
