Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 480 The Last Choice
Unfortunately, it happened at the very moment when the procedure was just completed.

"whoosh"

After a flash of red light.

Menma came in front of Yuhikuren.

"you!?"

Facing the hateful eyes of Yuhi Kurenai.

Menma just glanced at him indifferently.

"Shh!"

With a gentle wave of the arm.

Comparing it with the cold light that burst out.

"Well!?"

A sword seals the throat.

Xiuri Hong couldn't even put up a bit of resistance as her throat was cut.

“Hehehehe…”

Xi Ri Hong opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but could only utter these powerless and voiceless words.

Against the backdrop of the blood splattered everywhere.

The vitality that is fading away quickly.

Xiurihong also fell limply in a pool of blood.

"red!!"

"Asuma!"

In the blink of an eye, two of his companions died in battle one after another, but he still had a playful attitude.

The huge gap between heaven and earth is revealed.

It made everyone around feel what true despair was.

"It seems that you are still suitable for a bloody lesson."

Menma looked at the Konoha ninjas around him with cold eyes.

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

next second.

The moment Yu Menma clapped his hands.

"Boom!!!"

The ground around Menma suddenly rolled over.

The cracked surface.

The moment of violent shaking.

Most of the ninjas from the barrier and sealing squads who had no time to evade fell directly into the gap, and were buried by pieces of earth and rocks.

"Peng!"

"what!?"

"Well!?"

"Do not!!"

"boom!!"

In the fragmented and bloody scene, the Konoha ninjas only had time to let out a scream before they lost the right to breathe forever.

The enormous energy of the Rinnegan that was almost completely absorbed and integrated, and the most important thing was the blood power belonging to Hamura extracted from it.

Any power.

The essence all comes from blood!
This is the essential truth of this world.

The Otsutsuki clan.

It must be the bloodline of the Otsutsuki main family that has devoured the chakra fruit and grown into a perfect form. It is the symbol of the supreme power in this world.

Menma has no chance to swallow the chakra fruit.

But with the combination of his own flowing Yuro bloodline and the acquired Hamura bloodline, the two can more or less draw out the blood power that belongs uniquely to the Goddess of the Rabbit.

That is the absolute control over the power of chakra.

No markings are required.

No extra moves required.

It was just a look, a thought.

The extension of all power.

It is the strongest attitude.

The bright white halo that appears and disappears on both sides of Menma's eyes is a manifestation of the source of his power.

One blow.

Dozens of Konoha ninjas were directly killed.

And he still looks so relaxed and at ease, as if he is strolling in the garden.

Even in Lu Jiu's heart, a feeling of despair inevitably emerged.

Defeat Menma?

No, even at the initial moment, Shikaku did not have such a luxury.

Even for this war, Shikaku's goal at the beginning was a very pragmatic "tie", as long as Menma cared about his companions and the ninja village he built.

Then they have a certain probability of achieving their victory.

Therefore, the core of all plans revolves around how to delay Menma.

Now it seems.

Any strategy, any tactic, will appear so weak and powerless in the face of absolute power.

There was also a trace of sadness on Lu Jiu's face.

In the end, everything is in vain.

If Shikaku knew that such an attack was just a very casual one by Menma and that he might not have even exerted one percent of his strength, he would only feel even more desperate.

Menma had no intention of wasting time with these people.

"whoosh"

A light flicker.

In a flash, they arrived in front of the same person.

"Varied!?"

The sword slashed down lightly again.

"Pfft"

That was the blood that splattered out.

This man, who was considered a relatively powerful jonin in the Hidden Leaf Village, died at the hands of Menma without any ability to resist.

"Wood Release!"

"Secret Technique!"

Just turned around.

Aburame Shiwei and Yamato were about to offer support, but they were always a step too slow and could only watch Menma quickly harvest the lives of their companions.

"thump."

Absolute and irresistible power.

Menma doesn't need to perform any special techniques.

It was pure chakra pressure and the speed that was absolutely impossible to catch up with.

"Crack!"

Even Yamato's Wood Release.

In front of the slash of Menma's Thunder God Sword, it still seemed so weak.

"Your Wood Release is really incomparable to the First Hokage."

The broken wall of wood escape.

Even Yamato's most powerful and best defensive Wood Release was still easily broken by Menma. Facing the indifferent look of Menma who was approaching in front of him.

Yamato couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he faced this suffocating feeling.

"I..."

Without waiting for Yamato to say anything.

Menma just waved his hand.

A huge head rose into the sky.

Speed ​​and power.

Return to the most authentic strength.

In just less than two or three minutes, by the time Menma cut off Yamato's head, the team of Konohagakure jonin that Shikaku had recruited to assist Danzo was reduced to only Shikaku, Haiyi, and Shiwei.

For three people.

Menma didn't even use any fierce killing moves.

"Keng!"

After just kicking the three people away with a little force, he used the Vajra Sealing Technique to bind the three people tightly.

Three people were saved.

This was also the result of Menma's deliberate actions.

No reason.

This is because the three of them are the people in power in the big families in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Menma will basically kill anyone who blocks his way, but he will still show more mercy to some people, such as his own brother, Naruto Namikaze, because of blood relationship, and Shikaku, Haiyi, and Shiwei because of vested interests.

Menma has no intention of creating a world ruled by terror alone.

If it could be done with a little more tenderness, Menma wouldn't mind doing so.

If we commit less murder, the transition to peace will be smoother.

Especially against the several major ninja villages, if the killing really leads to rivers of blood, even if Menma unifies the ninja world, he will definitely face a relatively painful period of pain, and it will take more than ten years, or even more time, to heal these wounds.

Here in Konohagakure Village.

The existence of Nara Shikaku seems relatively more important.

A smart person in power of a large family.

Menma trusted Shikaku's judgement.

"Shikaku-san, I still admire you. You are a smart person and you should know what the future will be like. Don't resist in vain. As long as you are willing to choose to submit to me now, I will forget everything that happened before. What the Nara clan was like in Konoha will also be like in the Hikari Village in the future. And I promise that it will only be better. The same goes for the Yamanaka clan and the Aburame clan."

Menma looked serious, which was rare, and spoke in a very serious tone while looking at Shikaku and the other two.

Menma really admired Shikaku as a person.

New era, new society, new order.

What is needed is a being like Shikaku.

A smart subordinate can save Menma a lot of trouble, especially a person with high IQ like Shikaku, who is also a representative of a ninja clan, no, it should even be said that he is a representative of three ninja clans. His significance and role are extraordinary.

And Shikaku still has considerable appeal in the Hidden Leaf Village.

In the original work, the Fire Nation Daimyo convened a high-level national meeting to decide the next generation of Hokage at a special meeting.

The fact that Shikaku is qualified to participate speaks volumes.

In terms of combat power, it's of little use, but what Menma needs is Shikaku's brain and experience. The construction of a country is no joke. The education Menma received in his previous life was all paper talk. Don't look at Menma who usually looks like he has everything in hand in front of Karin and others, but in fact, if the ninja world is really unified, Menma himself is still a little nervous about governing the country.

He was not sure if he could really build a new order, a truly peaceful country.

Therefore, he needs more help.

People like Shikaku, Haiyi, and Zhiwei are the ones that Menma recognizes.

These are all reliable adults.

Shikaku, who was already waiting to die, once again heard Menma's words of persuasion to surrender. Even Shikaku subconsciously showed a hint of doubt and surprise, because judging from Menma's previous actions and the cruel killing look just now, he didn't seem like a merciful person.

Now you are still showing leniency to these three people?
What's going on.
Haiyi and Zhiwei on the side also looked a little dazed. They thought they were going to die here, but they didn't expect Menma to hold back again?

But Shikaku is Shikaku after all.

It was only a few seconds of daze.

This representative of the highest IQ in the ninja world finally reacted and was able to guess what Menma's intention was.

"Shikaku-san, even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider Shikamaru, your family, and the entire ninja clan, right? If you choose to die here, have you considered what will happen next? I can probably guess what your plan is, but have you ever thought that even if I am willing to accept it, will Shikamaru be willing? Will your wife accept it? And the entire Nara clan, as well as the Akimichi clan and the Yamanaka clan who have always been with me. You should be able to see that I will not be soft-hearted towards any enemy who is determined to block my way. I don't think you want to see that kind of situation. I have already given you this second chance. I hope Shikaku-san, you can really think about it carefully."

Menma looked at Shikaku with a very serious expression and spoke word by word.

This is indeed real sincerity.

Let’s not talk about Shikaku for now.

Haiyi and Zhiwei were really shaken. Just like when Konoha was founded, why did they, the ninja clan, choose to join?

Is it really for some bullshit peace?
Don't joke, there are indeed noble people, but among the vast majority of people, almost 99.999% are just ordinary people who only think about themselves, their loved ones, and their friends.

They chose to join Konoha simply because Konoha was very strong and Konoha with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha could better protect them.

It can allow their ninja clan to continue and develop more safely.

This is the most basic factor in the judgment made by these ninjas at the time.

now.

There is no doubt that Menma is powerful, not to mention that Menma has offered such generous conditions.

How could they not be moved?

Yes, if they died here, would the Ninja Clan really choose to surrender peacefully? If they all chose to resist to the end, the entire clan would most likely face extinction. They were indeed not afraid of death, and for the sake of their families, they were willing to take the initiative to face death. However, if their own death would only bring disaster to their families, that would be something they could never accept.

When I think of my wife, children, and so many relatives and friends in my family.

Zhiwei and Haiyi became even more unsteady.

Both of them subconsciously looked towards Shikaku.

At this moment, Lu Jiu's heart was a little confused. A wise man can only remain rational when it does not involve the things he cares about. Once his weaknesses are known and the people and things he cares about are in danger, even the wisest man will be shaken to a certain extent.

But you really have to make such a decision.

It was equally difficult for Shikaku.

It's not just a problem with the village, the deaths of his companions are also a hurdle that Shikaku can't get over.

"I...."

An extremely difficult choice.

But ultimately a judgment must be made.

Just when Shikaku had just opened his mouth.

"boom!"

Suddenly.

On a battlefield a little further away.

Suddenly, an extremely loud and terrifying roar broke out.

The shaking earth.

A terrifying wave of chakra spread out.

Shikakuna's words were interrupted.

Menma also suddenly raised his head, looking with shock at the huge figure of Wu who had just been blown away in the distance.

“Innocent!?”

A scene that cannot be described any more.

"Someone, take good care of these three people!"

Menma shouted loudly, calling the shadow guards who had been following him closely in the back.

"Yes, Master Tianying!"

At the moment when the shadow guards behind came rushing over, Menma dodged at an extremely fast speed and knocked out Shikaku and the other two in quick succession, then handed them over to the care of his shadow guards.

"boom!"

Menma himself also released a burst of chakra.

Push your speed to the limit.

In the blink of an eye.

He attacked towards the place where Wu was blown away.
