The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

It then plunged its blade down towards Kakashi's throat.

A cold, sharp front.

The biting cold was palpable.

The moment when the glaring aura of death swept over us.

'Obito...'

The last image frozen deep in Kakashi's mind was not his father, nor Minato, nor even Rin Nohara, whom he had 'personally' killed, but Obito Uchiha.

This name is etched deep within the soul.

Kakashi then slowly closed his eyes.

And only at that moment.

"Mianma! Stop it right now!!!"

Suddenly.

A furious roar followed.

Naruto's golden figure flashed over.

That was definitely the strongest chakra aura that erupted.

A deep blue sphere appeared on one palm.

The surging aura that permeated the air.

The overwhelming rage that came rushing in was palpable.

When he saw Menma about to kill Kakashi, Naruto finally couldn't control his emotions. Just like Pain in the original story killing Hinata in front of Naruto, he was completely consumed by rage.

Mianma is indeed his older brother.

But Kakashi was the 'older brother' who accompanied Naruto throughout his childhood.

This is a clearly discernible difference in emotional bond.

The former Genma Shiranui is far superior to her.

This is human nature.

But it is also true.

The most sarcastic side.

"!?"

Naruto forcefully broke through Sasuke's blockade and rushed straight towards him.

As they sensed Naruto's undisguised rage this time.

Seeing Naruto closing in on him, Menma's expression turned colder than ever before.

That was still an action that showed no intention of stopping.

Even if he has to withstand this Rasengan, Menma is determined to kill Kakashi.

But it was at this very moment.

In the left-hand position.

"Partial Multiplication Technique!"

A slightly deep voice fell.

Even before I heard it, I had already sensed the heavy aura of chakra.

"Whoosh!"

An enormous hand pressed down swiftly from the left side.

A pincer movement.

This forced Menma to abandon his attack.

"Whoosh!"

With a single step.

That rapid retreat was part of their stride.

"boom!"

"boom!"

In the positions on both sides.

Each of them delivered a deafening, heavy blow.

A violent tremor spread outwards, accompanied by an exaggerated cloud of dust that rose into the air.

next second.

On either side of Kakashi, who was lying on the ground.

Naruto, along with another incredibly muscular figure, stood guard on either side.

That fiery red hair, almost identical to Menma's, and that unique secret technique that had just been unleashed. The moment I saw that figure...

The name of the person who came to visit immediately came to mind.

'Akimichi Choza!!'

After Akimichi Torifu passed away for unknown reasons, the strongest member of the Akimichi clan is now Akimichi Choza. Among the Jonin of Konoha, Akimichi Choza's combat strength is among the best. In the once-famous Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Akimichi Choza was also the one responsible for the main attack.

With the enhancement of the secret technique, his own strength is definitely at the level of an elite Jonin.

Not to mention that the Akimichi clan also has its own secret medicine.

Although the original work only provides one example of Akimichi Choji's battle as reference data.

However, it is foreseeable that if Choza Akimichi also takes the secret medicine, or even that red pill, his personal strength after the butterfly transformation should be able to leap to the level of a quasi-Kage, or even a Kage.

'What a troublesome fellow!'

Menma glanced at Choza Akimichi not far away, his brows furrowing slightly as he muttered to himself.

Furthermore, with the arrival of Akimichi Choza.

In the other side position.

Neji Hyuga and Shino Aburame also appeared, and Naruto was able to break through thanks to their assistance.

Otherwise, with Sasuke's current strength, Naruto would never have been able to break through. In the original story, Naruto was empowered by the Nine-Tails' chakra and still lost to Sasuke.

now?

It is obvious that under normal circumstances, 'Naruto Namikaze' is stronger than 'Naruto Uzumaki'.

However, compared to Naruto Uzumaki, who can use the Nine-Tails' chakra, he is still a step weaker.

He would absolutely not be a match for Sasuke, who is now able to enter Cursed Seal Mode 2.

"Kakashi-nii-san, how are you? Are you alright?"

In a distant location.

Naruto quickly squatted down, looking at Kakashi, whose abdomen was sunken, who was in a sorry state, and whose left eye was empty. His face was full of worry and anxiety.

"Cough cough... I'm fine... Naruto... don't worry..."

Kakashi replied weakly, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. However, he used too much force, which aggravated his wounds, and an uncontrollable look of pain appeared on his face.

Completely critical injury mode.

Without immediate treatment, there is a high possibility that the patient's life could be in danger.

Fortunately, Choza Akimichi did not arrive alone.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Then in the position.

Several figures appeared simultaneously.

They were all dressed in the standard uniforms of Konoha's Anbu, clearly indicating that this group was the Hokage's direct Anbu, the Anbu who would obey Tsunade's orders 100%.

There is also a medical ninja among them.

Upon landing, he immediately went to Kakashi's side, and the gentle green light emanating from his hands directly began to provide Kakashi with the most basic treatment.

Chapter 172 Facing It Head-on

"Why? Why are you so ruthless, so decisive, Menma? Has Kakashi ever wronged you?! How can you be so cruel?! Why?! Menma!"

Naruto stood up, his face showing confusion, anger, and a clear sense of sorrow.

This was not a deliberate act of deception.

There is no other reason.

Rather, it's that he genuinely doesn't understand.

Indeed, Menma's life over the past 12 years has been completely different from his own. It was the village, and perhaps it was really the Third Hokage who wronged Menma. Menma harbored anger and resentment, which Naruto felt he could understand and considered normal.

What he wanted to do was to resolve this resentment and quell this anger.

Naruto believed that as long as they sat down and talked things out, all the misunderstandings and past mistakes could be wiped away.

They are brothers, after all. Naruto also believes that Menma must have developed some kind of affection and bond with the village over the past 12 years.

For example, with Shikamaru, Choji, and the others?

For example, with Iruka-sensei?

Naruto didn't believe that Menma was truly heartless and didn't care about these people at all.
