Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 550 The choice is the 'tomorrow' with a future!
This naturally leads to a question: Why can't Otsutsuki Hagoromo gain immortality?

There is no official explanation for this in the original book.

If you must guess.

There are two explanations that may be relatively more likely. One is that there is something wrong with the Ten-Tails itself. As a power that was once part of Kaguya, Hagoromo is unable to fully integrate the power of the Ten-Tails, and instead has to suffer backlash.

That's why in his later years, when his strength was weakening, he took the initiative to separate the Ten Tails.

This is the first guess.

The second guess is that the concentration of Yuyi's bloodline is not enough at all, and the Ten-Tails is just a carrier of power. What can truly make his life level evolve should be the fruit produced by the sacred tree incarnated by the Ten-Tails that absorbs the original power of the planet.

Unless Hagoromo allows the Ten-Tails to transform into a sacred tree again, and then absorb energy once more to produce a fruit for him to swallow, otherwise, he will never be able to become a true 'Otsutsuki' in his lifetime!
In addition to this, of course there are many other possibilities.

Just more unreliable.

But for Menma, what he was sure of was that it was absolutely impossible for a mere Ten-Tails to give humans the energy of eternal life. He couldn't even supply it to one person, let alone the entire world, with over 100 million humans! ?
Even the Six Paths Sage can’t do it.

You, Uchiha Madara, can do it! ?
Menma's question was almost heart-piercing.

This made Uchiha Madara silent again.

I chose to believe the words of my ancestor, the Six Paths Sage, and embarked on this path. But now it seems that my ancestors are unable to do it, or they are obviously deliberately concealing some important information. What is the basis for me to do this?

"I..."

An uncertain look appeared on Uchiha Madara's face. He wanted to continue saying something, but when the words came to his lips, they seemed to be stuck and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Yes, Madara, what Menma said makes sense. There are so many people in the world. Even if the peace in the dream you said is real, these people still need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate to survive, right? How can they do that so easily? Not to mention eternal life. If they can't do that, it will only take a few decades for the human species to perish. Is this kind of peace really what you want, Madara!"

Hashirama, who was standing by, also joined the group of people trying to persuade them.

Madara's Moon Eye Project.

From Hashirama's perspective, it was truly the ultimate invincibility and terror. Just as Menma said, what was the point of such peace! ?

It's just a different way of destroying the world.

No matter how dull a knife is, it is still a knife. It will still kill people in the end. Compared with Madara's madness, Hashirama now likes Menma no matter how he looks at him. Isn't it just the unification of the ninja world? Isn't it just Konoha's disappearance? Those are all small problems. People are alive and can live freely. That's OK.

It is indeed a pity that some people died.

But in past wars, more people died.

As long as the ninja world is unified, everything may still develop in a good direction. At least the probability of this happening cannot be denied.

Anyway, now that we have Madara as the ultimate negative example, Menma is on the side of justice!

Hashirama is now very glad that he did not achieve the peak strength he had in his lifetime, and Menma is able to far surpass him.

otherwise.

The previous battle.

Not to mention defeating Menma, it would be a loss for both sides.

This world is definitely heading for the apocalyptic future that Madara wants to create. No matter how naive Hashirama is, he can still accurately judge the intentions of his best friend who has been staying near the Valley of the End!

It's just lice on a bald man's head - it's obvious!

"The path you have chosen is wrong, Uchiha Madara."

Tobirama on the side also continued to finish off the opponent with a calm expression.

In fact, if he must say something, Tobirama still agrees with Menma's approach. To be more precise, when Konoha was just established and their ninja village had its own Anijia and Uchiha Madara, two top figures who could sweep the entire ninja world at any one time, Uchiha Madara proposed the plan to destroy the ninja villages of major countries. Although Tobirama didn't say anything, he wanted to execute it in his heart!
Tobirama is, after all, an 'egoist' in the purest sense!
However, his "self" does not refer to himself, but to the group he values! The first one was the Senju clan, and then the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

As long as it is truly for the greater good of Konoha, for the interests of Konoha, and for the consideration of all the people who identify with and depend on the Hidden Leaf Village, Tobirama will be fearless and unwavering, even if it means cooperating with the devil.

This is also why I say that both Tobirama and Izuna are good.

Compared to their brothers, they are natural leaders.

They will not consider anything that does not meet the standards, does not conform to common sense, and is unrealistic. When Tobirama heard about the Moon Eye Plan mentioned by Madara, he sneered. This is something that only a person with a water in his brain would believe.

Oh.

It should be said that he is a person without a brain!

Menma Uzumaki had already explained it so clearly and analyzed the pros and cons so thoroughly, yet Uchiha Madara was still so stubborn.

Tobirama almost wanted to laugh out loud.

It can be said that at this moment, Uchiha Madara was completely unaware that he had once again refreshed the lowest IQ limit in Tobirama's heart.

This is a guy with a brain full of blocks.

"Mister Madara, you have not only failed now, but you have been a loser decades ago. I am not referring to your actions, but here, in your heart, you are disappointed in yourself and have admitted defeat."

Menma looked at Uchiha Madara indifferently, pointed to his heart and spoke slowly.

"Because, a person with a truly strong heart would never seek such a peaceful way. What is the essence of illusion? As a member of the Uchiha clan, you should know better than anyone else what the peaceful world in the eternal dream is like? Even if everything you said above can be realized, there really is no risk or problem in it, but isn't this a form of self-exile and self-escape? It is a cowardly act of not daring to face reality and life!!"

"If Lord Hashirama has always been sinking into the conservative past, has no pioneering spirit at all, and only wants to live the conventional choices of 'yesterday', then Lord Madara, what you have done is to arbitrarily cut off all connections, unwilling to face the past, and have no courage to face the future. You only want to bury your head deeply in the ground, and have been living your own life, constantly repeating 'today'. Isn't this even more ridiculous?"

Menma seemed to be unable to help himself, and sneered, speaking word by word.

"Yesterday has passed, and today will also pass sooner or later. Only tomorrow will continue to come. The future I want is a future with constantly updated tomorrows, a future that is in my own hands. My destiny is decided by myself. This is also the choice of human beings from the heart. Therefore, Mr. Madara, you are a complete loser, a complete coward!"

Let’s talk about the end.

Menma's tone also subconsciously became more excited.

Tomorrow may not necessarily be perfect, and the road ahead may indeed be bumpy, but at least you can choose your own future.

Whether it is failure or success.

Even if you just buy a lottery ticket, there is a theoretical chance of winning the jackpot, right?

All of this needs to be chosen and taken by yourself.

Passively wait for your fate? No!
That was not the future Menma wanted.

Even if you really have to lie down or wait to die, it is a choice you make yourself. Menma will always resist it when it is imposed on you by others.

If you must give an example.

It's like when most people were young, the sentence they hated the most from their elders was "Everything I do is for your own good!"

You can call it rebellion.

Anyway, human beings are unwilling to passively accept everything imposed on them by others by nature.

At least Hashirama is just a little conservative.

Uchiha Madara is the kind of person who wants to force all of humanity to stop at this point and never move forward. Even if there is no conspiracy in the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique, Menma will never accept it.

Is such a world and such a future meaningful? Is it valuable?
The answer is obvious!

Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara were all shocked when they heard Menma's words.

There is nothing wrong with Tobirama.

Although he was surprised that Menma could say such words at his age, it was not a big shock in essence. Tobirama was a person who was always extremely calm and rational. It was difficult for such a person to be moved by others. In his entire life, Tobirama had only been moved by his own Aniga. That was not because what Hashirama said was so touching or reasonable, but purely because Hashirama was his biological brother.

Not to mention the numbness of the face.

But Hashirama and Madara are different.

Why can two people with completely different personalities become lifelong friends?

Or are they like real brothers? Is it really because of the influence of Asura and Indra's chakra?

Maybe there is.

But it’s definitely not an important reason.

The key point is that both of them are essentially the ultimate "simple people".

It is the kind of person who easily falls into an environment of self-cognition, and then constantly hypnotizes himself, constantly deepening this kind of self-cognition.

Such people are often easily touched by certain words at some point in time!
obviously.

at this moment.

Menma's words were like completely opening a special door in Hashirama and Madara's hearts.

Both of them were staring at Menma in a daze at this moment.

After a long time.

Hashirama just shook his head slightly and said with a hint of self-mockery, "The conservative yesterday? It seems to be true. At the beginning, I seemed to have said the same thing to my father. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I would become an old stubborn person like my father."

Menma's words.

This undoubtedly made the Ninja God recall his childhood.

Didn’t I have a similar conversation with my father at that time?
Now I didn’t expect that I was walking the same path again.

Yes, for the sake of Konoha, he has forgotten his original intention. As for the Senju clan, he and his brother can generously choose to disband it. Now Konoha is just an enlarged version of the Senju clan. The people are still the same people. Changing the name will not bring any major changes. In the end, it still depends on what the people above do!

It doesn't matter what you thought before.

At least now Hashirama really admires Menma.

Young people like this are qualified and capable of taking on the responsibility of being the future leaders of the entire ninja world.

"Menma boy, you are the right one. The future of the ninja world is in your hands!"

Hashirama said with his hands on his hips and laughing.

At this moment, Hashirama truly untied the knot in his heart, not only in his actions, but also in his heart, he chose to trust Menma for everything in the future.

Tobirama on the side also shook his head helplessly.

My own Anijia has such a personality.

Still the same recipe, same taste.

But Menma does seem to be a person who is trustworthy and reliable. Now that Konoha is gone, so be it.

Anyway, it's because I don't have the ability and I entrusted my trust to the wrong person.

Fortunately, people are alive.

The Second Generation Hokage could only comfort himself silently in his heart.

Hashirama suddenly understood.

However, Ban still fell into endless difficulties.

It's the same old saying. The more a person like Madara is, the harder it is for him to turn back once he has chosen a path. Not to mention hitting a wall, even if he were to die, he would not necessarily think that he had chosen the wrong path, but would only think that the way he hit the wall was wrong.

The previous spots clearly belonged to this pattern.

He kept looking for patches for the Moon Eye Project, kept hypnotizing himself, and even tried to hypnotize Menma, Hashirama, and everyone else.

Because he has really reached the end of this road. Even if there is an endless abyss ahead, Madara has the courage to jump down, but does not have the courage to turn back.

This is the last mental barrier that Madara set for himself.

However, this barrier was now ruthlessly shattered by Menma.

A cowardly act of escaping reality!!!
These words penetrated deeply into Madara's heart, causing his expression to become distorted.

"A complete loser? You're right, Uzumaki Menma. Perhaps I was destined to be a loser the moment I lost to Hashirama decades ago. Hahahahahahahahahaha, my life is truly meaningless!!!"

Uchiha Madara suddenly laughed out loud, but in his laughter, one could hear endless sadness.
