Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 315 Reincarnation Eye Chakra Mode - Activated!

Kakashi raised his hand, shielding his eyes from his brow bone, squinting as he strained to look at the blinding sun in the sky.

However, apart from the sunscald spots and the drifting clouds, he could no longer find any trace of the mysterious boy.

The opponent seemed to melt into the light, disappearing without a trace, leaving not even a trace of chakra.

He slowly lowered his hand and turned to look at Minato Namikaze beside him: "Minato-sensei, that person just now used... a Rasengan, right?"

Minato nodded silently, his deep blue eyes filled with an unyielding solemnity.

He opened his right hand, and the palm seemed to still retain the same yet unfamiliar chakra vibrations from when the two Rasengans collided.

This incredibly clear feeling was no illusion; it was the real, complete Rasengan!
Jiraiya crossed his arms, his knuckles tapping unconsciously against his arms, his usual nonchalant demeanor replaced by seriousness.

“This is troublesome, Minato.” He clicked his tongue. “The Uzumaki clan’s Adamantine Sealing Technique, plus your Rasengan… Just who is this kid? His chakra feels strange too, it’s unbelievably huge.”

Minato took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down and analyze: "The method of training the Rasengan is currently known only to me, you, Jiraiya-sensei, and the Third Hokage who may know the progress from you. There is absolutely no way he could have learned it through normal channels."

"And the Adamantine Sealing Chains... are a closely guarded secret of the Uzumaki clan, impossible for anyone outside the direct lineage with sufficient chakra to unleash. But the most distinctive feature of the Uzumaki clan is their red hair..."

“If it’s an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, that’s even more troublesome.” Jiraiya continued, his expression solemn. “We must report to the old man immediately. Minato, you come with me to the Hokage’s office.”

When the Uzumaki clan was wiped out, Konoha did nothing to help. Jiraiya was clearly worried that the other party came with hatred.

"Understood," Minato replied, then turned to Kakashi with a hint of apology on his face: "Kakashi, I'm sorry, there's an urgent mission. Go find Obito and Rin first, and tell them I can't have dinner with them today."

Kakashi lowered his head slightly, and a hint of disappointment and self-blame flashed in his eyes beneath his scattered white hair.

"No, Minato-sensei, I'm the one who should apologize. Just now... I was barely able to do anything." Facing that mysterious boy, his pride in his strength, which far surpassed that of his peers, seemed to have become a joke, and that sense of powerlessness was a huge blow to him.

Minato saw through his disciple's thoughts, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, his tone gentle yet firm: "Kakashi, don't blame yourself. Facing an unknown and powerful enemy, gathering valuable intelligence is a victory in itself. You, Rin, and Obito are still young, and you have a long road ahead. Go and fill your stomach first; leave this matter to me and Jiraiya-sensei."

Kakashi nodded, said nothing more, and with a flash, used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the chaotic observation deck.

Minato and Jiraiya exchanged a glance, then simultaneously activated their Body Flicker Technique, transforming into two blurry shadows and hurtling towards the Hokage Building at an incredible speed.

……

The Hokage's office was filled with smoke.

At only fifty-two years old, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, though his hair was completely white, was still vigorous and upright. He was sitting behind his large desk, listening to Jiraiya and Minato's solemn reports.

He had a pipe dangling from his mouth, and his white eyebrows furrowed more and more as he continued his narration.

"...Short black hair, about twelve or thirteen years old, handsome face, calls himself 'Menma'...skilled in the Uzumaki clan's secret sealing technique 'Diamond Sealing Technique,' and..." Jiraiya paused, glanced at Minato beside him, and continued.

"Furthermore, he also used the 'Rasengan' developed by Minato, and its power was comparable to Minato's. Finally, he demonstrated the ability to fly and disappeared into the air."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly removed the pipe from his mouth, exhaling a long plume of white smoke. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and a thoughtful glint shone behind the smoke.

"A black-haired boy... the Vortex clan's Adamantine Sealing Barrier... and the Rasengan..." He repeated these key pieces of information in a low voice, his doubts deepening with each repetition.

He knew the hardships Minato endured in developing the Rasengan. It was a ninjutsu without hand seals, based on the principle of the Tailed Beast Ball, which took three years of painstaking effort to master, and its training was extremely difficult.

The boy who suddenly appeared possessed the core secret technique of the Uzumaki clan, indicating that he must be an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. His black hair might just be a disguise, but he even knows the Rasengan.

"Shinnosuke," Hiruzen Sarutobi called out in a deep voice.

Almost the instant he finished speaking, a figure wearing an animal mask and a dark uniform silently knelt on one knee beside the desk.

"Lord Hokage." The person who came was none other than the Captain-Commander of the Anbu, and also his eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"Execute these three orders immediately." Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly, but with an undeniable air of authority: "First, secretly strengthen the protection around Kushina, dispatch two additional ANBU teams to guard her 24 hours a day in shifts to ensure absolute safety."

"Second, send two reliable teams to keep a close watch on Lord Mito's grave and former residence to prevent any disturbance."

"Third, the barrier team is ordered to immediately conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire village's barrier, especially the area where abnormal fluctuations occurred today, to find any possible loopholes or hidden dangers!"

"Yes!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke accepted the order and disappeared from the office in a flash to carry it out.

Minato's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Kushina's name.

He shared his analysis with Jiraiya: "Jiraiya-sensei, if the other party truly possesses the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, even if the hair color doesn't match, there might be some kind of bloodline mutation or disguise unknown to us. In that case, his most likely target when infiltrating Konoha is Kushina, who is also a member of the Uzumaki clan and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, or... he might be coveting the Uzumaki clan's legacy or sealing techniques that the late Mito-sama might have left behind."

Jiraiya stroked his chin and nodded: "Ah, that's true. The opponent's mastery of the Adamantine Sealing Technique is extremely high, clearly showing a deep understanding of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques. Whether it's for Kushina, who is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, or for the Uzumaki clan's secret techniques left behind by Mito, he has ample motives."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, took another deep drag, and slowly exhaled, the white smoke enveloping his slightly tired face.

"These are truly turbulent times..." he sighed, turning his gaze to another document on the table.

"There is also some unsettling news coming from the northern border."

He picked up a scroll and handed it to Minato: "Minato, the border patrol reports that ninjas from Kumogakure are frequently active in the border region between Takigakure and our country, and have had several small-scale clashes with our squad in the past week. The situation is escalating."

"I need you to immediately lead Akimichi Tou and Inuzuka Jacques to form a special team to strengthen patrols and vigilance on the northwestern border. Your mission is to deter and gather intelligence. If you encounter Kumogakure ninja, try to capture them alive while ensuring your own safety and the completion of the mission. We need to understand the true intentions of Kumogakure."

Minato's expression hardened. He stepped forward, accepted the scroll with both hands, straightened his posture, and said clearly and firmly, "Yes, Hokage-sama! I guarantee to complete the mission!"

He knew that this task was even more urgent.

The unusual activity in Kumogakure may well foreshadow a larger-scale conflict to come.

After bowing to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya, he turned and quickly left the Hokage's office, preparing to immediately assemble his team and head to the border.

Inside the office, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya remained, along with the lingering smell of smoke and the heavy atmosphere.

"Jiraiya..." Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe: "What do you think about that 'Menma'? Besides Minato's analysis, are there any other possibilities?"

“Ah, old man, I have a bad feeling.” Jiraiya walked to the window, looking at the prosperous and peaceful Konoha Village outside, his eyes complicated: “That kid… the way he looked at Minato was strange. It didn’t seem like an enemy, nor a stranger. And his last words—'We’ll meet again'… I have a feeling that he will come back, but the next time we meet, it probably won’t be as ‘friendly’ as it was today.”

Meanwhile, outside Konoha Village, deep within a dense forest far from the barrier.

Mianma's figure slowly emerged from the shadow of a large tree.

He leaned against the thick tree trunk, his hands behind his head, and picked up a blade of grass again from his mouth.

Little Jiu peeked out from his collar, perched on his shoulder, and wagged its fluffy tail.

"Mianma, why didn't you play with them more just now? Teasing them a bit?"

Mianma gazed at the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

“It’s not time yet, Xiao Jiu,” he said softly.

Menma's lips curled into an enigmatic smile: "However, the most urgent task is to first confirm the identity of that guy on the moon, as well as 'Jigen' of this world, and... that 'Uchiha Madara' hiding in the shadows."

His gaze fell upon the moon, which was already beginning to emerge on the horizon.

A glint of playfulness and challenge flashed in his deep black eyes.

………………

Inside the moon, the Hamura Shrine stands empty and solemn.

This place was once a sacred site where the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura worshipped their ancestors and discussed important clan matters, but now it is filled with an indescribable sense of desolation and decay.

Magnificent stone pillars support the towering dome, and ancient murals are carved on the walls, depicting the glory of ancestors and the epic of migration. But the traces of time are everywhere, and dust dances silently in the faint artificial light that seeps through the gaps in the dome.

Inside the temple, there were few people.

Only five figures stood there, all dressed in simple white robes of the same style, symbolizing that they belonged to the same lineage, the Otsutsuki clan of the moon, but had branched out.

Standing at the very front was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He had a dignified face, but his skin was pale as if he had never seen the light of day.

He is today's protagonist, Ōtsutsuki Sakuto.

Beside him was a young woman with delicate features, his wife, and now the only young bloodline besides him after the family division.

Behind them stood three elderly men with white hair and beards, their bodies hunched over. They were the only surviving elders from the family division and witnesses to history.

What's chilling is that, including Sakuto and his wife, all the Otsutsuki clan members present had empty eyes!
Their eyes, sacrificed years ago during the brutal purge of the main family, were imbued with endless fanaticism and obsession, and merged into the giant Tenseigan floating in the center of the temple, radiating both gentle and immense chakra.

At this moment, they are using the "Mind's Eye" secret technique passed down through generations of their family to perceive everything around them.

This is a perception that transcends sight; one can "see" the flow of chakra and the outline of life, but can no longer appreciate color and light.

The eldest elder, with a hoarse yet solemn voice, presided over the ceremony: "Sakuto, today you officially inherit the position of head of the Otsutsuki branch clan. I hope you will remember the legacy of our ancestor Hamura and shoulder the mission of our clan. The people of the ninja world are indulging in endless war and chaos, defiling the world created by our ancestor and elder brother, the Sage of Six Paths. We inherit the purifying will of our ancestors and must always be prepared to end that filthy karma with thunderous force and reshape a pure world!"

Sakuto Otsutsuki slightly raised his head, his empty eye sockets "gazing" at the giant Tenseigan in the center of the temple, which emanated a familiar and awe-inspiring energy. A resolute, even obsessive, expression appeared on his face.

He took a deep breath, his voice echoing in the empty temple: "I, Sakuto Otsutsuki, hereby swear! I will inherit the will of the branch family and follow the last wishes of our ancestor Hamura. When the time is right, I will activate the power of the Tenseigan to thoroughly 'purify' the ninja world, ending that endless chaos! Let this world return to its rightful pure state!"

His wife stood silently beside him, her hand gently holding his arm, expressing her support without a word.

The three old men nodded slightly, their empty eye sockets seemingly revealing a kind of fervor and satisfaction akin to that of martyrs.

The once prosperous Otsutsuki clan of the moon has seen its main family wiped out by the branch family, and now only five members remain in the branch family. With their bloodline dwindling to this point, their obsession with "purifying" the ninja world has become the only pillar supporting their existence.

However, at this solemn and solemn moment, the piercing alarm suddenly broke the silence of the temple!
The mournful wailing sound came from the warning system embedded in the wall.

A puppet on routine patrol swiftly slid into the temple and reported in a flat, mechanical voice: "Warning! Warning! The entrance to the passage connecting the moon and the ground has been forcibly breached by unidentified intruders! The intruders have entered the passage and are moving at high speed!"

"What?!" an old man exclaimed in disbelief, his wrinkled face filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? That passage has been hidden here by our ancestors for thousands of years and has never been discovered by outsiders!"

Sakuto Ōtsutsuki frowned, but as the new clan leader, he forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and maintained a calm demeanor: "Don't panic! It might just be a stray who accidentally intruded. Activate the defense mechanism and send out the combat puppet troops to intercept them at the exit of the passage. Make sure to kill them!"

The order was passed down quickly.

Within the moon's complex network of tunnels, hundreds of combat puppets were activated, surging towards the interception point like a tidal wave, and a chilling aura permeated the entire lunar interior.

The atmosphere inside the temple became tense.

Initially, they maintained a certain level of confidence, after all, those combat puppets were quite powerful and numerous, and were one of the methods used by the Otsutsuki branch family to "purify" the ninja world.

But soon, bad news followed. "The first interception force... wiped out!"

"The second team has lost contact!"

"The intruders have breached the last line of defense and entered the castle's outer perimeter!"

The battle reports brought by the puppets responsible for relaying information sank the hearts of Shuo Ren and the elders to the bottom.

How can it be?

Among those combat puppet troops were many elite combat puppets capable of rivaling Jonin, yet they were so easily defeated by the invaders.
boom--! ! !
A deafening roar suddenly came from the incredibly heavy doors of the temple!

The entire temple seemed to tremble!
Immediately following was a continuous series of sounds of metal twisting and breaking. Countless fragments and parts of battle golems were scattered through the cracked door and into the temple, as if flung by an invisible force, clattering and clanging all over the floor.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the colossal gate, which had witnessed a thousand years of history, collapsed inwards with a deafening roar, crashing to the ground.

As the dust settled slowly, a figure gradually stepped into the hole through the smoke and dust that billowed out from it.

It was a boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a black robe with red trim, the hem of which fluttered slightly in the silent airflow.

He had short, jet-black hair, a handsome face, and deep black eyes. He walked with a relaxed gait, as if he were strolling in his own backyard.

Menma stepped into the temple, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire area.

He first glanced at the much younger-looking Ōtsutsuki Sakuto standing at the very front, then at the woman beside him and the three obviously elderly branch family elders behind him.

Finally, his gaze fell on the giant golden Tenseigan in the center of the temple, radiating vast chakra energy, his eyes filled with intense interest.

Sakuto Otsutsuki suppressed his shock and anger, stepped forward, his empty eye sockets staring at Menma, and demanded sharply, "Who exactly are you?! How dare you trespass on the temple of my Otsutsuki clan!"

Mianma didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at Shuo Ren with great interest.

In his world, when he met the Shuo Ren, the man was already over fifty years old, and had been a subject of his for many years before finally passing away peacefully a few years ago.

Seeing this younger version of Shuo Ren, full of obsession and sharpness, at this moment, he felt a bit of novelty.

Out of consideration for the fact that the Sakuren of that world had devoted himself to him and even contributed the inheritance of the Otsutsuki branch family inside the moon, Menma did not intend to kill the people in front of him.

He raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread, and whispered, "Diamond Lockdown."

Om-!
Five dazzling golden chakra chains shot out from the void behind him in an instant!

These chains moved faster than anyone could imagine, carrying powerful sealing force. They drew graceful arcs in the air, precisely wrapping around the bodies of Shuo Ren, his wife, and the three old men, binding them tightly.

The sealing power emanating from the chains instantly suppressed the chakra within their bodies, rendering them unable to move.

"What kind of sealing technique is this?!"

"My chakra... I can't draw upon it!"

The family was horrified by the division of property.

Just then, outside the broken gate of the temple, another group of combat puppets, having received an emergency order, surged in, wielding sharp bladed arms in an attempt to rescue their bound masters.

Menma merely turned his head, glancing indifferently at the direction from which the puppets were pouring in.

An invisible, terrifying "pressure" spread out like a shockwave!

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Those combat puppets charging at the forefront seemed to be struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer; their metal bodies instantly twisted and deformed, and then shattered inch by inch!
The puppets behind were also thrown away by this enormous force, crashing into walls and stone pillars, turning into piles of scrap metal parts.

With just a glance, all the combat puppets were wiped out.

Shuo Ren and the others were stunned when they "saw" this scene through their mental eyes, and their hearts were filled with shock.

What kind of power is this?!

Without any hand seals or even obvious movements, the sheer "pressure" released was enough to destroy so many combat puppets?!

Menma ignored them and strode slowly toward the giant Tenseigan in the center of the temple.

"stop!"

"Don't even think about getting close to the Tenseigan!"

Shuo Ren and the others struggled desperately, trying to mobilize even a sliver of chakra, but under the powerful restraint of the Adamantine Sealing Technique, it was all in vain.

They could only watch helplessly as the mysterious boy gradually approached the core and most powerful secret of their clan: the giant Reincarnation Eye, which embodied the countless disapproving glances of their ancestors and the obsessive beliefs of their branch families.

Menma walked to the area below the Tenseigan, took out a sealing scroll from the lining of his divine robe, and retrieved a transparent glass test tube from it.

Inside the test tube, immersed in a pale green nutrient solution, were a pair of pure white eyes.

This was not stolen, but a clone he cultivated in his own world's laboratory. Although its initial purity was not as high as that of the main family, it had been nurtured by the "giant Tenseigan" chakra of his world for many years, and its purity and potential had been raised to an extremely high level.

"That's... the Byakugan?!"

"How could he have white eyes?!"

"Are they from the Hyuga clan?"

"No! His own eyes aren't white! And he doesn't have the 'Caged Bird' curse mark!"

The members of the branch family, who had sensed the items in Menma's hands through their "mind's eye," were once again plunged into shock and confusion.

Just then, Otsutsuki Sakuto gritted his teeth in secret, relying on his inherent spiritual link with the giant Tenseigan as the clan leader, and attempted to bypass the suppression of the Kongo Seal, forcibly mobilizing a sliver of the Tenseigan's power to launch a fatal blow against this mysterious intruder!
Even if it can only be activated by a tiny bit, it is enough to destroy anyone who dares to desecrate the sacred relics of our ancestors!
However, the moment Shuo Ren's hidden thoughts touched the Tenseigan—

The left eye of the man with pockmarked face, the originally deep black pupil, suddenly changed!

A scarlet background emerges, and three black magatama rotate wildly, intertwining with each other, eventually forming a complex spiral-like pattern.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

He didn't even look at Sakuren, but sensed the faint fluctuation that was trying to connect with the Tenseigan.

"Pupil Technique: Wheel Terror!"

Mianma whispered softly.

The patterns in the kaleidoscope in the left eye shifted slightly, and a force involving the level of rules quietly activated.

In a world invisible to the naked eye, the 'connections' on the giant Tenseigan look as if they have been erased by an eraser.

Shuo Ren shuddered violently. He clearly felt that the connection between himself and the giant Tenseigan, which was regarded as the ultimate weapon of the Otsutsuki branch family, had been forcibly "erased"!

It's as if they never existed!
He could no longer sense any aura from the Tenseigan, like a kite with a broken string, completely losing control over it!
"How is this possible?! My permissions... have been..." Shuo Ren's face turned deathly pale, and endless fear surged into his heart.

This method is unheard of!

Without further delay, he stretched out his right palm, palm facing upwards.

The stopper of the test tube containing the white eyes opened automatically, revealing a pair of white eyes on his palm.

At the same time, he used the "Rin-yu" eye technique, which he had just used to forcibly seize absolute control of the giant Tenseigan, to issue the command.

Om-! ! !
In the center of the temple, the enormous golden Reincarnation Eye suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
The vast, ocean-like Tenseigan chakra and pure ocular power, as if summoned, transformed into a massive golden torrent, surging and roaring, wildly rushing towards the Byakugan in Menma's palm!

At the same time, a large amount of golden chakra, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged directly into Menma's body!
His body was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the immense chakra and ocular power condensed from countless Byakugan.

"No! Stop it!"

"He's stealing the power of the Tenseigan!"

The members of the branch family let out desperate roars and struggled desperately, but could only helplessly feel the power accumulated by their clan over thousands of years being frantically drained away.

Click...

In the perception of Shuo Ren and the others through their "mind's eye," clear cracks began to appear on the surface of the huge golden Reincarnation Eye, spreading rapidly like broken porcelain!
An even more dazzling light burst forth from the crack!
Click...

Boom! ! !

Finally, with a deafening roar that seemed to come from ancient times, the enormous golden Tenseigan shattered completely!
Countless Byakugan, which originally constituted his body, scattered and flew away as if they had lost their gravitational pull. But the moment they flew out, they transformed into the purest chakra light points, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, and rushed wildly toward Menma's body and the Byakugan in his palm that was undergoing a qualitative change!

The Byakugan in his palm, after absorbing a massive amount of Tenseigan power and chakra, completely melted, transforming into two extremely dense balls of golden chakra energy, which ultimately merged completely into Menma's palm and flowed throughout his body along his meridians.

Menma, who already possessed the body of a sage and the chakra of the Ten-Tails, underwent a tremendous change in his body after absorbing this giant Tenseigan.

boom--! ! !
A massive chakra aura erupted from Menma's center!

Golden chakra erupted from his body like flames, forming a dazzling chakra cloak that enveloped his entire body.

Tenseigan Chakra Mode!

open!

Six jet-black jade beads, each containing the power of all things in the universe, silently appeared behind him, slowly rotating and emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

On his forehead, green keratin rose up, forming two structures resembling dragon horns.

On the top of the forehead, directly above the center of the eyebrows, a crack quietly appeared in the skin.

A golden Reincarnation Eye, imbued with boundless majesty and power, slowly opened!

The immense pressure, like a tsunami, swept across the entire temple, engulfing Otsutsuki Sakuto and the others, making the air seem thick and heavy.

Sakuto Otsutsuki and the others, who were bound by the Vajra Seal, trembled violently and uncontrollably in the face of this pressure that originated from their bloodline and far exceeded their imagination.

It was not simply fear, but a deep-seated awe and submission to a higher existence!

Shuo Ren's empty eye sockets stared at the boy shrouded in golden chakra, with two horns on his forehead and the golden Tenseigan activated, looking like a god descending to earth. His lips trembled, and finally, with endless shock and an indescribable bewilderment, he murmured:
"Ancestor...?!"

Menma felt the immense chakra energy coursing through his body, and felt invincible. He couldn't wait to find someone to test his skills against.

Who are we going to bully?
Age spots or a sign of illness or disability?
