Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 511 Questions and Answers between Father and Son
Looking at Gamabunta walking away.

Minato also sighed silently in his heart. After all, they were companions who had fought side by side with him countless times. If possible, Minato did not want to see them quarrel to this extent. However, the world is so unpredictable. The two great sages, Fukasaku and Shima, are the only second-generation toads left in the Myoboku Mountain Toads. They are the true descendants of the great sage, Gamamaru, and they have also mastered the Myoboku Mountain magic relatively perfectly. Their individual combat power can be regarded as important toads at the general Kage level.

But it was because of hostility.

Died at the hands of his own son, Menma.

This is an almost unsolvable knot.

Unless more than a hundred years pass and Menma dies, it will be possible for the hatred to be resolved, and that is only a possibility. Don't forget that hatred has extremely stubborn connections and inheritance, and it may be passed down from generation to generation.

Take a look at the battles between the major ninja clans in the ninja world.

Especially before the establishment of the five major ninja villages, the conflicts between ninja clans such as the Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Hagoromo were no joke. Interests were one aspect, but hatred was also a very important factor.

As someone who could inherit the title of Kage in his early 20s, Minato had a very thorough understanding of this aspect.

But now he is still powerless.

He will not take action against Myoboku Mountain.

But it is even more impossible to help Myobokuyama to deal with its own children. That would be putting the cart before the horse in the absolute sense.

"You choose your own path..."

After Minato sighed softly again, he flashed and flew towards the core area located in the northern part of Myoboku Mountain at a high speed.

The fleeting distance.

Wait until the moment when Minato approaches.

On the mountain where the giant palace is located.

Naruto, who was practicing with his eyes closed on top of a sharp peak, wanting to further master a more perfect and higher-level fairy technique, suddenly opened his eyes. A light golden eye shadow appeared above his eye sockets, and his pupils were shaped like a straight line.

It was as if a huge chakra aura visible to the naked eye was spreading at that moment.

Below the near point.

You can clearly sense all the fluctuations around you.

Compared to the past.

Naruto's current strength has obviously improved further.

You know, the most perfect Sage Body, the most perfect Sage Mode, in the thousand-year history of Ninja, the one who was the best was the first Hokage - Senju Hashirama. Unlike others who had to carefully absorb natural energy and merge it with the energy in their bodies, Hashirama was like a water pump, which could absorb the natural energy of the Ninja World at will, and it was almost endless, and he could squander Sage Chakra without any limit.

That is the most perfect Sage Mode.

Even though Naruto seems to have mastered the Sage Mode.

But there are clear level differences between the 'Sage Modes'.

As someone who had guided Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo in practicing the Sage Mode and was also the oldest sage currently in Myōbokusan, Gamamaru had an extremely familiar understanding of this point.

In the past, it was Fukasaku and Shima who guided Naruto.

Now it is Toadmaru who is using his experience to teach.

Naruto's talent is fully demonstrated in this aspect. In just two or three days, he is now able to quickly enter the Sage Mode without the help of Fukasaku and Shima.

And as Naruto himself became more familiar with natural energy, his mastery of it became more and more perfect.

One day, he will be able to do the same as Hashirama and enter the Sage Mode in a second anytime and anywhere.

"Does it still take some time to absorb? The strengthening of the body is not enough. With this strength, it is impossible to defeat Menma..."

Naruto took a deep breath and gently clasped his hands.

Even though Naruto is now very confident that he can defeat Jiraiya, when facing his brother, Naruto is more aware of the gap between them. At least it is impossible for him to kill Jiraiya instantly, even if that is only Jiraiya in serious injury mode.

Because there is no essential difference between one move and two moves.

I need to become stronger, strong enough to be on par with the first generation Hokage.

Naruto had already learned from Gamamaru how powerful the Sage Mode was that the first Hokage had mastered.

This is the only trump card he has against Menma.

Of course, there is also the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Unlike in the original work, it is unclear whether Naruto actually tried to learn it. In this life, Naruto really wants to learn this ninjutsu.

Before arriving at Myoboku Mountain.

He even went to Tsunade and asked for the scroll of Flying Thunder God Technique.

Menma's strength is due to his basic strength, but his Flying Thunder God Technique is also of utmost importance. If you want to defeat Menma and have the ability to resist him, Sage Mode + Flying Thunder God Technique are indispensable skills.

Naruto let out a light breath.

He took out a special scroll from his arms, opened it, and saw the contents inside.

next second.

Naruto's mind moved, and within his perception range, he accurately detected and locked onto a very familiar chakra approaching.

"This is?"

Naruto was confused at first.

Then, after careful sensing, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"whoosh"

A figure jumped up.

He then flew towards the person coming from at a very fast speed.

Just a few seconds later.

Two people who met each other.

Looking at that familiar face.

Naruto's lips twitched and his eyes instantly turned red.

"father!"

"Naruto."

Minato's eyes also became extremely gentle.

Although Naruto's childhood was countless times better than Menma's, with family, friends, and the respect and admiration of countless peers, it is still a person's life after all, and Minato still felt that he owed Naruto.

He is not a good father.

He had never fulfilled his father's responsibilities. He also had to watch the fight between the two brothers. This was his responsibility.

Minato is not the kind of person who blames others for everything. Whenever something wrong happens to him, he will only reflect on himself.

If I could have handled it better and arranged it more reasonably.

Would the result be different?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "if" in this world.

Naruto swooped over.

Minato also opened his arms to welcome it.

The father and son also hugged each other tightly.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, for letting you go through this. This is all my disqualification as a father."

Minato gently stroked Naruto's golden hair which was exactly the same as his own, and spoke softly with a hint of guilt.

All responsibility lies with oneself.

At least that's what Minato himself thought. If he was strong enough to protect his wife and children, how could things have developed to this point?
Be it Menma or Naruto.

As the son of Hokage, he can enjoy the respect of countless people in the Hidden Leaf Village and have a very happy childhood.

Weakness is the original sin of everything.

"Eh? Dad, how did you get summoned by the Impure World Spiritist? Could it be that bastard Orochimaru!? But why were you able to escape from that guy's control? I remember a few years ago, when the Third Hokage was fighting with Orochimaru, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage who were summoned were both controlled by Orochimaru?"

Naruto is not a weak person after all.

Whether in the original work or in this life, Naruto's determination has always been something that few people can match.

Just a moment's hesitation.

Naruto adjusted his mentality.

He raised his head and looked at Minato with an incredible look.

"Hehe, it wasn't Orochimaru who summoned us, but Lady Tsunade. And I wasn't the only one summoned. This is what happened..."

The father and son looked at each other.

Minato also gave a brief account in a low voice of how he, Kushina and the others were summoned by Tsunade's Impure World Summoning.

When I heard that Kushina had also reappeared and was waiting for me outside Mount Myoboku.

Naruto's heart was stirred. Although he was always positive and optimistic, even a little carefree, it didn't mean that Naruto had never felt lonely. Otherwise, how could Naruto be so obsessed with Sasuke? How could he be so excited when he learned that Menma was his biological brother! ?

Deep down, Naruto has always longed for family affection and to be loved by others.

Even he knew that this was just a false resurrection of his parents.

But after all, you can see the person in person and hear his or her voice, right?
How precious this is to our loved ones.

However, as Minato narrated, Naruto gradually understood the purpose of summoning his parents. There was no need for too many clear words. Just knowing that the caster was Tsunade and that she had summoned the First, Second, and Third Hokage together, one could see what the other person's intention was.

"So, Naruto, your mother and I mean that our family should stay away from this battle. No matter what the final result is, it has nothing to do with us. Of course, I will also give Menma some final advice. It would be best if it can end peacefully, but if not, Naruto, your mother really doesn't want to see the slaughter between you and your brother, especially when both of us know about it."

Minato said this in a very serious tone.

When Naruto heard his father's words, his expression froze and he fell into silence.

Minato looked at Naruto who went down silently, without any words to urge him. He just looked at Naruto quietly. Just as he said to Kushina, the two children in their family were both stubborn to the extreme.

It is not easy to change your decision.

If you want to persuade the two of them, you have to do it step by step. It is impossible to force them.

"Dad, do you know what Menma has done? Do you know what he will do next?"

Naruto raised his head and looked directly at Minato, and asked with the same serious expression.

"He killed Brother Kakashi and Grandpa Jiraiya. Most importantly, everything he did was to destroy the hard-earned peace in the Ninja World and to trample on the lives of others. Menma once told me that everything he did was for revenge, but more for peace. He said that as long as all the countries and villages were unified, true and lasting peace could be achieved. But I thought about it for a long, long time, but I still couldn't understand. Can peace obtained by ruthless killing be called peace? If everyone's country and village are destroyed, won't they all be resentful? Isn't this simply creating fear to scare everyone? Even if such peace is achieved, can it really last? Dad, you named me Naruto because you read Grandpa Jiraiya's novel. Perseverance, courage, and always believe that the dream of mutual understanding between people will be realized. This is what a person should have and the way to achieve true peace, right!? Now it is not a problem of Konoha, but a problem of peace in the entire Ninja World, Dad."

He didn't wait for Minato to answer.

Naruto paused for a moment before continuing.

When Minato heard Naruto's words, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

"Is this what Menma and you were talking about? Naruto."

"Well, when Menma captured me and imprisoned me in Hikari Village, I had a conversation with him, and that's what he said."

Naruto said as he nodded.

"Have you ever thought that this is something that is possible?"

Minato said seriously.

Unlike Jiraiya who has been completely assimilated into Myobokusan, Naruto is still very young and can be easily fooled.

Minato's thoughts and consciousness have always been mature and comprehensive.

The peace that Naruto said Menma wanted to achieve.

In Minato's opinion.

It's not completely impossible.

There will certainly be difficulties and uncertainties in this path, but it also illustrates the feasibility of this path.

Because unrealistic things are unable to see the difficulties and uncertainties, they are real fantasies and illusions.

Minato is no longer the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. He is just a simple father. Like Kushina, he only wants to see his children safe and sound and not fall into darkness.

Before, Minato was very worried that Menma would be blinded by hatred and that Naruto would be swept away by the emotions in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Life is alive.

Many times we have no control over our situation, not to mention that young children are more likely to experience emotional fluctuations and make wrong judgments.

Minato couldn't be sure whether the path Menma had chosen was the right one, or whether it could really be achieved.

But at least it is certain that Menma is not completely blinded by hatred.

In his heart, he has always had a path he wanted to take, the only difference is in direction and distance.

"How can it be possible? Dad, countless people have died. Won't the remaining people bear grudges? You should know what the situation is like in the Hidden Leaf Village right now? Everyone wants revenge. In such a situation, where can peace come from? Dad?"

Naruto shook his head like a rattle and said, with an expression of complete disapproval on his face.
