The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Grandpa Jiraiya, me? This?"

This is already a very clear situation.

Naruto, however, still wore a look of deep disappointment and distress.

Including this failure.

That would be the third time.

"Let's retreat here for now, Naruto. We'll wait until you become stronger!"

"But..."

Jiraiya gently patted Naruto's head, and as he exhaled a breath of stale air, Gamabunta had already leaped up, fully utilizing his jumping ability, and rapidly retreated in the opposite direction.

A figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

Naruto could only bite his lip tightly, watching Menma and Sasuke's figures shrink rapidly. For some reason, at this moment, Naruto felt that he was getting further and further away from the two of them.

This feeling of palpitation arises from the heart.

This made Naruto feel as if he could never win back his two brothers.

Upon witnessing this scene, Mianma's pupils flashed with a strange light, but he showed no intention of giving chase.

After all, he still can't kill Jiraiya. If he makes an opening, or if Jiraiya has another way to summon the two old toads from Mount Myōboku and enter Sage Mode, then Menma will be in trouble.

At that point, Menma will have to take a gamble and use the Nine-Tails' chakra to achieve complete tailed beast transformation, or enter the Nine-Tails' chakra mode, in order to fight against or defeat Jiraiya.

Therefore, catching up is completely pointless.

On the other side, Manda was shouting in impotent rage.

They shouted that they would continue to chase after them.

We must make that stinky toad pay.

However, Sasuke ignored it all, directly dispelling the summoning technique, allowing Manda to return to Ryuchi Cave, and also exiting the Cursed Seal 2 mode himself.

This battle lasted long enough.

Even though Sasuke's chakra reserves far exceed those of ordinary ninjas, he still expended too much. If the fight continues, Sasuke might not be able to hold on.

"It's alright, Sasuke. Cursed Seal 2, plus that guy who summons Manda, it's a big burden for you too."

Menma, like before, formed hand seals to release the seal, then leaped towards Sasuke's location.

"It's alright. Compared to the time at the Valley of the End, I've completely adapted to the power of the Cursed Seal. But as for the Uchiha clan, Menma, how much do you really know? What's the truth?!"

After Sasuke exhaled a breath of stale air, his clear black and white pupils stared straight at Menma, his expression becoming slightly sharp.

"Don't worry, Sasuke, I haven't lied to you at all. I'll tell you more when we get back. This isn't the right time or place. Besides, didn't I just say that you can also ask Orochimaru for confirmation, not only me? Although that guy left Konoha years ago, he still has close ties with Shimura Danzo. Orochimaru knows a thing or two about the bastards in Konoha."

Mianma smiled gently and said.

He had been looking for a suitable opportunity for a long time.

He told Sasuke about Konoha's shady dealings.

The truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan is a very important piece of information for Sasuke!

For those with freckles.

Uchiha Itachi was also a potential enemy.

Or to put it more bluntly, Itachi Uchiha was considered a madman by Menma.

Willing to annihilate his entire clan, including his parents, for the sake of the village? Yet he spared his young brother? And later, he was even willing to threaten Konoha for his brother's sake?

In Itachi Uchiha's mind, is his younger brother > Konoha > his parents and everyone else in the clan?

This sorting.

Mianmai is completely incomprehensible to them; they find it utterly absurd.

No normal person could be so outrageous, right?

Or perhaps it should be said that the vast majority of people in this world have mental problems; it's just that in a world where everyone is trying to outdo each other in terms of how bad they are, it's a matter of seeing who isn't so bad.

From this perspective, it doesn't matter whether it's Madara or Sasuke.

At least he's still a normal person!

It's not about good or bad, nor is it about stance; it's simply a discussion about whether or not someone's mind is functioning properly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 253 Attitudes of All Parties

Therefore, from this point of view, Menma absolutely does not want to see Sasuke follow the path in the original work again, and he does not want to see Sasuke be tricked and crippled by Itachi Uchiha. In this life, Sasuke can only be his most steadfast companion.

This is the ceiling of prepared combat power!

If my plan really can't go smoothly to the end...

Sasuke is one of my greatest allies in the face of any enemy I may encounter in the future.

Therefore, Menma must gain Sasuke's approval and trust.

The truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan is the crucial first step.

"Yes, I understand."

Although he desperately wanted to know everything right now, Sasuke took a deep breath after glancing at Kabuto, who was already approaching, and slowly nodded in response.

This is definitely not the right place or time.

That's a very important issue concerning their Uchiha clan!

'Father, Mother, I will definitely find out the truth. If it really is like that, Konoha, and Itachi, you just wait!'

Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, thinking fiercely to himself.

"Heh, as expected of Menma-kun, even the renowned Jiraiya-sama is no match for you. You can unleash the power of the Nine-Tails to this extent. When you can fully transform into a tailed beast, Menma-kun will probably become the number one ninja in the world!"

Kabuto Yakushi complimented him with a seemingly humble smile.

"Heh, when did Kabuto-san become so good at sweet-talking? I almost got carried away. The number one ninja in the world? Ha..."

Mianma narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled softly, as if mocking someone.

A chilling aura slowly spread out.

This caused Kabuto's expression to change slightly.

Heaven and earth conscience.

What I just said was purely a subconscious compliment; it had no intention of testing or anything else.

Kabuto Yakushi can now truly understand what his Lord Orochimaru said earlier.

This Uzumaki Menma-kun really doesn't look like a teenager. Although he does seem quite immature and lacks maturity in some ways, and his experience is clearly limited.

But it is definitely not something that can be fooled.

Some tricks shouldn't be used in front of him, as they would only make him a laughingstock and easily provoke his hostility.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. That side should be all cleaned up by now. We've been dragging this out for too long. It's time for us to leave, or we'll easily attract unnecessary trouble."

Seeing that Kabuto seemed about to explain something, Menma waved his hand in advance and said something.

After Jiraiya decided to retreat, the Root members, seeing the situation was not good, also chose to retreat. However, only two or three of them managed to escape successfully. The rest of the Root members, including Ryoma Aburame, who had been targeted by Kabuto Yakushi, all met with death or capture.

That is, in that short period of time just now.

The remaining roots were also completely removed.

The only exception was Ryoma Aburame, whose identity was somewhat special. Kabuto Yakushi deliberately spared his life, as bringing such a guy back would still have some value and use.

"Ah."

Then.

After a quick cleanup of the battlefield, the group...

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Each of them leaped away, quickly leaving their original positions and heading northwest, where they would board a ship to leave the Land of Spring.

And it was more than two hours after this special encounter ended, in the due east direction.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Several more figures flashed over, their clothing distinct from the standard attire of the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu, and the four water-like headbands they wore on their foreheads, which was enough to prove that these people were a special pursuit unit from the Hidden Mist Village.

Moreover, the Mist Ninja who are now appearing in the Land of Spring are the same special unit that has been tracking Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, for a long time.

Previously, because the tracking agents sent out by Orochimaru had exposed their tracks and were discovered by these Kirigakure ninja, after a great battle, Utakata's whereabouts were temporarily lost. This was not a big deal, but for two or three days in a row, no further trace of Utakata could be found.

Instead, they discovered traces of other ninjas and even traces of a battle between ninjas from an unknown village and Utakata.

The Mist Ninja naturally tensed up instantly.

Unfortunately, if you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step.

When the Mist Ninja arrived at the scene of the final battle, both sides had already left. After searching the surrounding area, they still found nothing.

The expression on the leader's face turned uglier than ever before.

You have to understand that since the death of their Fourth Mizukage, they have lost the Three-Tails. If they were to lose the Six-Tails completely now, it would be a devastating blow to Kirigakure!

What great nation doesn't have a Jinchūriki (a powerful being with tailed beasts)?

Oh, there's also Konoha, right? That's alright then.

"Ayan, immediately report this information back to the village and tell Master Yuan that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, has most likely fallen into the hands of another ninja village. Preliminary prediction is that it is either a Kumogakure village or an Iwagakure village!"

The leader of the Mist Ninjas looked at a blue-haired Mist Ninja on his left with a very serious expression and said.

"Yes!"
