Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 497 Explanation
Although, this seems very strange no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, according to the 'general attempts' unique to the Otsutsuki clan as shown in the original work, it would be very strange for Hagoromo, who possessed the purest bloodline of Kaguya after swallowing the Chakra Fruit and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, to die in a mere hundred years even if he could not achieve immortality.

This is one of Menma's biggest doubts since coming to this world.

However, these are all later stories, as long as the Six Paths Sage doesn't suddenly jump out and do something.

The most important person at the moment is Uchiha Madara.

This former Shura of the ninja world with the blessing of the Rinnegan is indeed not as threatening as Might Guy with the Eight Gates, but Might Guy only has such a fleeting and brief moment of splendor, while Uchiha Madara actually possesses this level of power.

Using a joke from Menma’s previous life that was played out by netizens.

Uchiha Madara with the Rinnegan must be at least at the "half-step Six Paths Great Perfection level".

"Backhand and resurrection? You really know a lot, kid."

The One-Tailed Shukaku looked at Menma with a very strange look and said with a snort.

The other tailed beasts looked at Menma with similar expressions.

Kyuubi has gotten used to it.

Or, the more Menma acted like this, the more certain the Nine-Tails' inner guess became. In this world, one could easily contain the chakras of the nine tailed beasts, improve one's strength so quickly, and most importantly, could clearly know information from thousands of years ago.

There is no problem with facial numbness.

I wouldn't believe it even if you killed Kyuubi.

"Hehe, so, Shukaku, can you choose to trust me? I need your strength and the assistance of all nine of your tailed beasts."

Menma avoided answering Shukaku's question, but looked straight at Shukaku and stretched out his right fist.

Miniature Ten-Tails.

Can this be manufactured successfully?

Menma is not sure.

He just had a vague feeling in his heart that what he was doing was right, so Menma would put it into action. His enemy was the powerful Uchiha Madara, but not just Uchiha Madara.

What's more, even if everything is put aside, Menma is also very interested in climbing to the infinite peak.

"Tsk! Since you are so sincere, I will cooperate with you. However, I like this boy relatively well. If possible, I hope you can spare his life."

Shukaku looked at Menma deeply, and after a few seconds of silence, he finally nodded his own huge head.

As he spoke, he stretched out his right forelimb.

A special communication between the tailed beasts.

At the moment when the fists of the man and the beast collided.

The information that they wanted to convey to each other was also completed in an instant. At that moment, Shukaku completely trusted Menma.

He also took this opportunity to transfer a large amount of his chakra to Menma.

Anyway, Menma's current body is already infinitely close to the Six Paths Sage of the past, so there is no problem for him to bear part of the chakras of the nine tailed beasts.

"Yeah, no problem, Shukaku."

Menma smiled slightly and directly agreed to Shukaku's request.

It's just to save Gaara's life.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether it’s just one sheep or a flock of sheep, the prison in the Hidden Light Village doesn’t need such a Jinchūriki.

After I have completely solved all the problems and integrated the ninja world, I can release these people.

"Ok!"

A perfectly reached agreement.

The chakra of the One-Tailed Shukaku was directly absorbed.

The spiritual bodies of the nine tailed beasts slowly dissipated, leaving this special spiritual world.

"Whoosh!"

The moment of returning to reality.

"What!?"

In the opposite position.

That was a huge body that collapsed directly.

next second.

Gaara stood there with a look of astonishment.

No matter how he drove it or how he called out to Shukaku in his body, he could not get any response at all.

Gaara couldn't understand why this situation had occurred.

Shukaku took back all his chakra in one go! ?
Maki, who was in the distance, also had a look of shock on his face.

Before Maki could say anything.

"The war is over. There is no need to pay any more unnecessary casualties. Lord Fengying, surrender unconditionally. I will guarantee your safety. But if you insist on resisting to the end, only death will await you."

On top of the head of the Four-Tailed Sun Wukong.

A red figure flashed and appeared.

Menma looked at Maki with a calm expression. He used the Diamond Sealing Technique to easily restrain Gaara in the position below, and spoke in a light tone.

"Oh oh oh!? Master Tianying!"

"It's Master Menma who's here!"

"Haha, long live the Hidden Light Village, long live Lord Amei!"

"First Generation Master!!!"

The light ninjas on both sides were also the first to hear and see the voice and figure of their Lord Tenkage.

Cheers broke out in an instant.

Paired with the scene where Gaara was easily tied up.

This period caused a great impact on the Sand Ninja.

"Uzumaki Menma!!"

The moment Maki saw Menma, his pupils suddenly shrank and his scalp felt like it was going to explode.

Although he knew that Menma possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allowed him to easily travel between multiple countries and provide support at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary ninjas, Maki still had some luck in his heart. He always felt that there must be a lot of remaining forces from the three major ninja villages on the front battlefield, and Uzumaki Menma would not leave easily.

But now it seems that I made a wrong bet.

When the arrival of the First Generation of Tenkage, who was almost as powerful as Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama in the past, was enough to declare their death sentence.

"!!?"

Gaara was bound and tried his best to break free, but he couldn't break free from the restraints. The flow of chakra became extremely heavy and stagnant.

"Gaara!"

At the beginning, Temari and Kankuro, who were fighting at the side of the One-Tail, rushed over recklessly when they saw Gaara being caught, trying to rescue Gaara.

But unfortunately.

Menma just waved his hand.

"Keng!"

Two other golden chains flew out from Menma's body in the same way, and bound Temari and Kankuro at lightning speed, before they could react at all.

All around, the shadow guards who had just been loyally trying to launch an attack to protect Gaara were slapped away by the Four-Tails Son Goku.

There is no Shukaku to serve as the main force.

How can these ordinary shadow guards fight against the four-tailed Sun Wukong?
There are only a few jonin who can fight against the tailed beasts.

This is a situation that is completely under control.

Maki, who was being stared at by Menma, seemed to have no change in expression at the moment, but his heart was full of bitterness.

He didn't know how many people from his own ninja village could successfully evacuate.

But it is absolutely certain that he will not be able to leave here.

With just one glance, Maki could tell that Menma's strength was far superior to his own.

But even so.

"Surrender!? Uzumaki Menma, there has never been a ninja who surrendered in our Sand Village, let alone a Kazekage who surrendered!"

Maki took a deep breath. "Boom!"

A powerful chakra aura erupted from his body.

"You retreat, don't look back, I'll cover you!"

The words shouted out directly in the next second.

Maki rushed towards Menma's position with a determined look.

The willingness to die was clearly revealed.

Menma also shook his head slightly.

Just one foot.

"Whoosh!"

Among the figures flying up synchronously.

"Keng!"

It was like a cold sword appearing out of thin air.

A red light flashed.

Menma rushed straight to Maki's near point.

"!?"

Then there was a hint of cold light that burst out.

The fierce breath that hit him in the face made Maki's breathing pause.

A flash of light before my eyes.

next moment.

"Pfft!"

When a sharp shadow flashes.

The sword light flew past at high speed.

In that less than a second.

Menma cut Maki's throat directly, and the blood splattered, completely cutting off his life.

"Hahahahaha..."

Maki could only subconsciously cover his neck, and let out a weak cry, feeling the vitality and strength rapidly slipping away from his body.

"I'm so weak..."

As a wry smile emerged in Maki's mind.

Maki’s eyes went dark, and his consciousness sank into darkness forever.

Unlike Ōnoki, Ai, and Mei Terumi, who are considered to be true Kage, Maki's title of Kage is still a stretch. Even compared to Danzo, Maki is far inferior. Although the Pot King is a little disgusting, he also knows some weird things.

My personal strength is totally incompatible with this identity.

But he is the Fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village after all.

Menma still gave Maki a relatively decent death.

The captured Jinchūriki.

A shadow that was killed instantly by a sword.

The Sand Ninjas in the surrounding areas all had dazed looks on their faces when they saw this scene. When Menma's eyes swept over them, every one of them felt a chill in their hearts, with endless fear emerging in their hearts.

"Surrender and avoid death."

When Menma once again whispered words of persuasion.

This time.

Not a single Sand Ninja hesitated, every one of them silently lowered their heads and put down their weapons.

Resistance means death.

Then surrender is their only option.

From now on, the decline of the Sand Village can be officially announced.

One without shadow and without tailed beast.

Then, the ninja village will have to lose a large number of ninjas. It will be impossible for it not to decline and be destroyed.

"There's only one last target left."

When the Light Ninjas around him went to detain the Sand Ninjas who were bowing their heads and begging for surrender, Menma turned his head and looked towards the east where the Hidden Leaf Village was located, with a hint of sharpness in his pupils.

The road to unify the ninja world and the road to revenge.

Menma has always planned to combine the two.

Regardless of the previous plan.

Or there will be changes in the plan later.

As long as conditions permit.

Menma always leaves Konoha to be dealt with last, which is due to both practical reasons and personal considerations.

Today, the territories of the four major countries are still in an uncontrolled state.

However, the four major ninja villages, which served as the only military guarantee, had been completely destroyed, and almost all of the ninjas had been killed or captured.

The target can now be officially placed on the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Akatsuki organization.

No matter if it is Nagato or Obito who is in command now, or even if Uchiha Madara is resurrected, Menma will not deal with it first.

Because it will be them, not Menma, who can’t help it.

All nine tailed beasts are under his control, and both he and Toneri still have unlimited room for improvement.

I dare not say that we have all the advantages, but at least we are in a situation where we have the initiative.

Either they sit back and wait for Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito to show up, or if they really can't bear it, they will wait for a few years until Menma has completely integrated all the power of the major ninja villages before taking the initiative to attack.

No matter what the situation is.

Now Menma can be said to have taken his destiny into his own hands.

"Wuwei Sang, I'll leave this to you. Once you've dealt with the follow-up matters, just write a report and send it to me."

Menma turned his head and looked at Wuwei who had regained his human form.

"Yes, Master Menma."

After Wuwei bowed and responded with a respectful look on his face.

"Whoosh!"

Menma grabbed the unconscious Gaara, made a hand gesture, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the spot and return to the headquarters of the East District of the Ninja Village.

Next steps.

It is to integrate all available forces.

Launch a final attack on the only remaining target of the Five Great Nations - the Hidden Leaf Village.

And just when Menma had just defeated the main forces of the four major ninja villages one after another, in the heart of the Land of Fire.

The Hidden Leaf Village also received the news of a major defeat on the front line, with countless ninjas including Danzo being killed, injured, or captured.

It can be said that when this news spread throughout the ninja village.

Everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village felt endless sadness and panic.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed to be shrouded in a thick dark cloud at that moment.

In the office that belongs exclusively to the Hokage.

now.

The three remaining high-ranking officials of the ninja village.

Tsunade, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu sat inside. Everyone's expression was extremely serious, and the atmosphere in the office was extremely depressing.

None of them had expected that the situation on the front line could be so tragic. Defeat was not unacceptable, but such a defeat was unacceptable to any ninja village or anyone.
