Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 490 The So-Called Personality

The only three remaining members of Akatsuki - Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Scorpion - all received the order from Zetsu to gather at the same time.

It was clearly an order that was no different from usual.

But both Uchiha Itachi and Scorpion of the Red Sand smelled a hint of unusual danger from it.

However, Scorpion only thought for less than three seconds before setting off directly towards the gathering point conveyed by White Zetsu.

Uchiha Itachi fell into silence and did not move for a long time.

"What's wrong, Itachi-san? The leader's order is for us to return as soon as possible. We are still some distance away from the Rain Country."

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was sitting on the side, looked at Itachi with a puzzled look and asked.

"No, it's nothing, let's go."

It's just a hunch after all.

Rather than having definite signs or evidence.

For Uchiha Itachi, his goal has always been clear. While collecting intelligence on the Akatsuki organization for Konoha, he is waiting for Sasuke to grow.

No matter what happens.

He would persist until he could transplant his eyes to Sasuke.

So, Itachi shook his head slightly, and then he took the lead and headed towards the Rain Country.

Because they are carrying out missions in different countries.

Even though the three of them were Kage-level ninjas, by the time they arrived at the border of the Rain Country, more than a day had already passed.

And in more than a day.

It happened to be in Takikuni that Menma led the army of Hikari Village to defeat the coalition forces of the three ninja villages head-on, and killed countless top ninjas from the three major ninja villages including the Fourth Raikage.

Unlike other ninja villages in other countries, it takes at least one to two days to get news from the front line.

The White Zetsu, who had been arranged by Black Zetsu in advance to gather intelligence in nearby locations, could almost transmit the news back to Black Zetsu in the shortest time.

It can be said that the moment accurate intelligence is obtained.

Black Zetsu's non-existent 'eyeballs' were about to pop out.

Because White Zetsu has almost a common "brain network", Black Zetsu, who can be connected to it, can easily share White Zetsu's memories.

At a not very far distance.

He saw with his own eyes the truth-seeking jade condensed by Menma.

And then there was the terrifying power that Might Guy unleashed at the end.

And the final moment of terror.

Only then did Black Zetsu realize that he had greatly underestimated this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. There was no way this genius could be on par with Madara and Hashirama, if one were to judge based on the strength levels of the two men decades ago.

Menma, who can condense the Truth-Seeking Jade, is definitely superior to the other two.

Seek Dao Jade!
That is not a power that humans can master at all! !
Thousands of years ago, that was the ultimate power that only his mother and the two rebellious sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, could possess.

A mere descendant of the branch of Hagoromo, not even the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, could actually condense the Truth-Seeking Jade! ?
How could Black Zetsu understand this?

You have to know that Black Zetsu, who was created by Kaguya herself using Yin-Yang Release, and who has very close contact with Ashura and Indra, can accurately judge who is the contemporary chakra reincarnation of Ashura and Indra as long as he gets close to a certain distance. That's how he found Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama back then.

The Asuras and Indras of this generation.

Black Zetsu is also confirmed.

In the early years, he also suspected that Menma was the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, but later he felt that it was the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

Finally confirmed is.

Ashura is Menma's younger brother - Namikaze Naruto.

Indra is Itachi's younger brother - Uchiha Sasuke.

In other words, no matter how strong the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Menma is, he can at most reach the level of Uzumaki Mito. The strength he showed later was basically in line with Black Zetsu's own prediction. Of course, to be on the safe side, Black Zetsu still regards Uzumaki Menma as the new generation of Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.

This is already considered that Black Zetsu is very stable.

Therefore, he wanted to resurrect Uchiha Madara as soon as possible.

As long as Uchiha Madara, who possesses the Rinnegan, can be resurrected in his peak condition, there will be no problem in taking down Menma Uzumaki.

But now it seems.

Everything was beyond expectations again.

Seeking Dao Jade! ?

Black Zetsu was filled with confusion and shock. He couldn't understand why Menma could obtain such power! ?

Could it be possible that part of the Hagoromo bloodline could also reach the level of the combined chakras of Ashura and Indra! ?
How could Black Zetsu know that Menma is no longer just the descendant of Hagoromo, but has combined the blood power of both Hagoromo and Hamura.

It is the concentration of blood that can be traced back to his mother.

Of course, if Black Zetsu was given the chance to get close to Menma, with his special abilities he would definitely be able to detect the special changes that had taken place in Menma, especially during the period when he had just absorbed the huge essence of the Rinnegan.

This was the period when Menma extracted the blood power of the descendants of Hamura and slowly merged it with the blood power of Hamura in his own body.

Unfortunately, Menma would never give Black Zetsu a chance to get close to him.

Or in other words, ever since he knew that Menma could easily find and lock onto White Zetsu's location, Black Zetsu would never take the initiative to approach Menma.

He doesn't have any particularly strong combat capabilities.

This was clearly a display of strength beyond expectations, causing Black Zetsu, who had previously thought it was a sure win and had completely relaxed, to tense up again.

He hurriedly took White Zetsu who came to report the news and rushed to Uchiha Madara as soon as possible.

"What did you say!?"

After hearing the report from Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara suddenly stood up and stared at Black Zetsu. Even Uchiha Madara showed a hint of shock in his pupils at this moment.

next second.

"come over!"

Uchiha Madara grabbed White Zetsu's head in a domineering manner.

"Buzz!"

The scarlet yet pitch-black Sharingan reflected in his pupils rotated, and at the moment Uchiha Madara also linked his spirit with White Zetsu.

Synchronize with the scene seen by the White Zetsu who was watching the battle at the scene.

Might Guy's Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

The fairy fox mode that Menma entered, and the truth-seeking jade that was condensed afterwards.

And that horrific collision scene at the end.

The moment Yu Zhenqi "saw" it with his own eyes, Uchiha Madara's expression became extremely solemn. Uchiha Madara was just arrogant.

It's not crazy, but it's not stupid either.

Just like at the beginning, although he only regarded Hashirama Senju as his only strong rival and close friend, he also had a high opinion of and fear of Tobirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki.

Originally, he had a certain interest in and respect for Menma, who could easily defeat Ōnoki and the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails together, and he also regarded Menma as an opponent he needed to face seriously. But now, the strength shown by Menma has reached the same level as himself. The Eight Gates Ninjutsu released by Might Guy was an attack that burned up his last bit of vitality.

That is a power that would make Uchiha Madara feel palpitating.

Although there is no direct feeling.

Just to 'witness' it in this way.

Put yourself in their shoes.

Uchiha Madara could also feel the horror of that attack.

"Master Madara, I think we need to readjust our plan. If Uzumaki Menma can condense the Truth-Seeking Jade, it means that his strength is very likely no less than yours, and he is not alone. We may not need to be too vigilant about other helpers, but the guy named Toneri, who can help Uzumaki Menma resist that attack, must be a big threat. It would be better for us to make a long-term plan, right?"

When Uchiha Madara let go of the White Zetsu's head and his face was full of gloom, the Black Zetsu next to him also said so in a slightly hurried tone.

Because of the overlap at the end.

White Zetsu at the scene was completely unable to see the Truth-Seeking Jade condensed by Sheren.

But just from the fact that Toneri can help Menma resist Might Guy's ultimate attack, it can be judged that Toneri must be an extremely threatening existence.

Then we have to consider the monster bred in the Box of Bliss - Satoru, and the remaining Jinchūriki. Now Uzumaki Menma's personal strength and the strength of the forces under his command have reached a very terrifying level.

Black Zetsu was of course eager to see the plan successfully carried out and break out of the damn seal of the alien dimension that his mother had sealed.

But what he didn't want to see even more was that the person who carried out the plan he had laid out for a thousand years and finally finalized failed at the hands of Menma.

That's when everything is ruined.

"Hmph, revise the plan? No, it is precisely because Uzumaki Menma is so strong that we have to launch the plan faster. I thought that after Hashirama, there would be no enemies worth worrying about. Hmph, now it seems that this ninja world is still very interesting. Uzumaki Menma, let's have a real fight!!!"

Uchiha Madara was gloomy at first, but then he suddenly showed a crazy smile.

Ordinary people may indeed readjust their plans.

Or try to unite with Menma's enemies to make things difficult for him.

Or they would wait for a perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Anyway, from the perspective of Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu and others, they are 100% hidden in the shadows and are a danger that Menma Uzumaki has not noticed. Black Zetsu and others could never imagine that Menma already knew of their existence.

Therefore, playing it safe is the right choice.

However, Uchiha Madara is not an ordinary person.

The madness hidden in the bones of the Uchiha clan and inherited from their ancestor Indra is fully reflected in Uchiha Madara.

Strong fighting factor.

That is the madness of wanting to fight to the end with a stronger person.

Can Uzumaki Menma be compared to himself?

Maybe he's even stronger than me? So what!? Before the Valley of the End, didn't Uchiha Madara lose to Senju Hashirama?
Before Konoha was founded and before the two clans reconciled.

Didn't Uchiha Madara, who transplanted his brother's eyes and opened the Eternal Eye, still get defeated by Senju Hashirama?

But why did the Valley of the End still take action?

The reason is simple, to realize the dream of peace in one's heart.

It was also to have a more satisfying battle with his best friend, a powerful ninja.

Now, Uzumaki Menma is similar to Senju Hashirama back then. Except that there is no special friendship between them, both of them are equally powerful and both block his path to peace.

Before, Uchiha Madara was still thinking that even if Hashirama was resurrected, he probably wouldn't let himself fight to his heart's content.

You will feel a little lonely.

But the strength displayed by Uzumaki Menma is exactly what Uchiha Madara wants.

This is the kind of existence we want!

But when Black Zetsu saw Uchiha Madara like this, he felt terrible. He was exactly the same as that bastard Indra, causing him trouble.

Can't you think about why that rebellious son Yuyi didn't choose you as the successor of the Ninja Clan?!

Idiot! Idiot! A complete idiot.

A thousand years have passed.

How many times has Chakra been reincarnated!?

Even here, they are still the same! ?

Can you please use some brains?

At this moment, Black Zetsu really wanted to grab Uchiha Madara's neck and scold this guy severely.

Doesn't this guy know that if he loses the battle, everything will be over! ?

Why can't you be more rational!? Can you use your brain a little better!?
Black Zetsu really feels tired, they are all a bunch of idiots.

Of course, Black Zetsu completely forgot at this moment that the most important reason why he targeted Indra and his reincarnated descendants, apart from bloodline, was because Indra had no brain, or his brain was not that good.

If all the Indras in the past had the same high IQ as the Nara clan passed down from generation to generation, they would be like Uchiha Izuna.

There is no way Black Zetsu could fool people!!!

It would be strange if people didn’t see through my underwear!

It is precisely because of his poor brain that Black Zetsu can't carry out his plan to save his mother. It can only be said that all this is a matter of fortune and misfortune.

Obito, who was sitting on the side, had just learned the details of the battle through White Zetsu.

It must be said.

At this moment, Obito was really glad that he listened to Black Zetsu's advice and resurrected Uchiha Madara in advance. Otherwise, with the strength that Uzumaki Menma had shown now, what could they use to fight against him! ?
With my own divine power in front of others, I probably wouldn’t even be able to escape.

Menma Uzumaki also knows space ninjutsu.

Many years ago, he was severely injured by Minato Namikaze. Now Menma Uzumaki's strength far exceeds that of the Fourth Hokage.

If you really go up there forcefully, there's absolutely no coming back.

At that time, if Nagato still intended to capture the Nine-Tails according to the original plan, he would have to hand over the Rinnegan to Uzumaki Menma. At that time, everything would be over. Without the Rinnegan, how could he use a hammer to resurrect Uchiha Madara?
Use the head to summon the Outer Path Demon Statue, and then revive the Ten-Tails to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique?
In fact, if Obito, Black Zetsu, and Nagato were really given such an opportunity, Menma would definitely die of laughter, because he is not the stupid Jiraiya and Naruto in the original work.

The Rinnegan is already on your face, yet you still let someone take it away. Chunchun is just asking for trouble.

"Master Madara, would you please reconsider this..."

Black Zetsu suppressed his anger and advised carefully and tactfully.
