The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

But compared to the very beginning.

Sasuke is now able to view his failures more normally.

But there's a crucial premise here.

That means seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, seeing the possibility of becoming stronger, and it has to be something that can be achieved in the short term.

Compared to sesame seeds.

Sasuke seemed to feel a greater sense of urgency.

I don't know if it's really just targeting Itachi Uchiha.

"Yes, I understand."

Sasuke nodded silently in response.

The defeat in this confrontation was expected.

No matter how proud or confident Sasuke is, after seeing Menma's performance in the Valley of the End, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he could beat Menma now.

He simply wanted to see the difference between them.

However, it seems that the gap is still too large.

Even Menma could suppress Kurama's chakra without using it, but Sasuke, recognizing his current problems, managed to maintain his composure. What a load of rubbish!!!

Menma defeated him without even using the Nine-Tails' power.

If Erzhuzi could accept this, then he wouldn't be Erzhuzi.

Those emotions were clearly written all over their faces.

Menma could see it all clearly, and at that moment he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Haste is no good, Sasuke. Besides, I am the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and in terms of bloodline, I am from the Uzumaki clan. Our clan is different from your Uchiha clan. Our talents and abilities are reflected in physical strength, which can be improved more directly. What you need to do is to understand where your strengths lie. There is no need to compare your weaknesses with other people's strengths."

Menma looked at Sasuke with a calm expression and said.

"The Uzumaki clan?"

Sasuke's eyes flashed, and it was unclear whether he had truly accepted Menma's words, but at least his expression was much calmer than before.

This made Mianma feel a little strange, like she was coaxing a child.

However, that's just Sasuke's personality.

Even in the original story, until the very end, this character, Haruyuki, is like a puppet on a string. All his thoughts, actions, and decisions are arranged by others. First, it was his own brother, Itachi Uchiha, and later it was his so-called 'personal ideals'. But how much of these 'ideals' truly belonged to him is a big question mark.

At least compared to Naruto's personality.

Sasuke's actions don't really give the impression that they are entirely based on his own thoughts and ideas.

"You still need to focus on developing your eyes. You should also understand that this is not your limit, nor is it the limit of your clan. You have only just begun to unleash the most superficial power of the Sharingan."

Mianma said in a calm tone.

Compared to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Sharingan with tomoe is indeed not enough.

Leaving aside the exclusive techniques like 'Susanoo' and 'Yasaka Magatama' that can be used after advancing, the qualitative change in the strength of the eye power alone represents a difference of completely different dimensions.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the only eye that can truly suppress or even control tailed beasts!

if you can.

Menma genuinely wanted to see Sasuke gain greater power in the shortest amount of time, and upgrading his own Sharingan was the most direct way to do that.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about eye power depletion.

In any case, Itachi Uchiha had already prepared the final and most crucial step for obtaining the 'Eternal Eye'.

As long as Erzhuzi can successfully awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Let's leave the later ones aside for now.

Another peak Kage-level potential, similar to that of Madara Uchiha, is now before us.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Sasuke murmured these words in a low voice.

The image of his older brother, Uchiha Itachi, also subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Especially those crimson yet pitch-black Mangekyou Sharingan.

The moment that scene from my childhood flooded back into my mind.

Sasuke's face also showed a look of extreme resentment.

But only a second later, it was quickly concealed by itself.

Having experienced many things and grown a lot during this period, Erzhuzi can still control his mindset to some extent.

"So, is that why you took Kakashi's Sharingan and obtained the Sharingan research data from Orochimaru?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 192 The Process and the Situation (Third Update)

Menma had originally planned to leave immediately after saying those words.

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, she paused slightly, turned around to look at Sasuke who had just wrapped a bandage around his right palm, and smiled gently, saying, "It's been so many days since you asked. I thought you didn't care at all, Sasuke."

After all, it was dug down right in front of them.

Orochimaru didn't ask because they had already handled countless Sharingan. Before the Uchiha clan was wiped out, there were many members who had awakened the Sharingan, including dozens of three-tomoe Sharingan. Each of these people was at the Jonin level.

This is why the Uchiha clan was feared by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. Dozens of Jonin were beyond the scope of an ordinary ninja clan. Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura did not have the magnanimity, composure, and most importantly, strength of their teachers, so they naturally felt wary.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out in this way.

Obito, Danzo, and Orochimaru just ate their fill.

Countless Sharingan eyes became the 'private property' of these three guys.

Danzo even created a 'Sharingan arm,' which is exactly Orochimaru's style.

Therefore, Orochimaru wouldn't care at all about Menma taking away a mere three-tomoe Sharingan.

But Sasuke is clearly different.

"That's the Sharingan, and the face is covered in freckles."

Sasuke looked at Menma with a cold expression and said in a slightly low voice.

“Yes, that’s why I’m interested, Sasuke. But just like I told Orochimaru that day, I’m not interested in the Sharingan itself, but in the Yin Release chakra that your Uchiha clan’s Sharingan represents. It’s a shortcut to research, and it’s very important to me.”

Mianma said, half-jokingly.

The power of Yin Release chakra is definitely a research area that Menma will need to explore in the future, as he wants to truly possess the highest power of the Otsutsuki clan.

One must reach the level of Bloodline Limit.

That is the result of the perfect fusion of all chakra attributes.

It is also the result of a complete fusion of the physical and spiritual aspects.

This is best exemplified by Madara Uchiha in the original work.

Physically, Menma isn't worried. It's the mental aspect, or to put it bluntly, Yin Release chakra, that's an area where Menma is currently almost completely lacking.

Although there are many other alternative options.

However, starting with the Sharingan is naturally the most appropriate and direct approach.

It represents the highest level of eye technique, signifying the profound power of the Otsutsuki clan.

Rinnegan.

Or perhaps it's the purest kind of Byakugan—the Tenseigan level.

Mianma is also eager to see if she can achieve that.

Who doesn't still have Kaguya Otsutsuki's blood flowing through their veins? Therefore, Menma's words weren't exactly deceiving Sasuke; they were simply concealing the most important piece of information.

"Yin Release chakra?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had been thinking for a long time, before slowly nodding and speaking.

"You could try doing more research and training in this area, which might help hone your eyes and elevate them to a higher level. Sometimes, the paths taken by predecessors may be feasible, but they are not necessarily the only paths. What do you think, Sasuke?"

Mianma said meaningfully.

Sasuke's expression changed slightly at that moment.

He looked at Menma with a slightly deep gaze.

Just now, Sasuke was clearly thinking of that night five or six years ago, when his devilish older brother whispered in his ear.

"Mianma, are you really Mianma?"

Sasuke stared directly at Menma, his voice low and menacing.

Menma smiled slightly instead of answering, and asked, "Is that important, Sasuke? Shouldn't other things be more important?"

Sasuke was slightly taken aback.

He nodded slowly.

"Indeed, it doesn't matter."

What secrets Menma holds, or what kind of being he is, is not important to me. I just need to focus on my goal and figure out who can help me and who will block my way.

Menma will obviously be on his side.

Even though he was well aware that Menma had his own plans and intentions.

But so what?

As long as it doesn't hinder me and can even help me, that's enough.

"Well then, that's all for today. We have a long time ahead of us, Sasuke. Whether it's our own goals or Konoha's, I believe we'll have a lot in common."

Menma smiled lightly, waved his hand, and left.

It's not time to say too much to Sasuke yet, partly because it's not the right time, and partly because Menma needs to figure out his own position in relation to Sasuke.
