The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

And there was no embellishment whatsoever.

How the Uchiha clan thought and acted.

How did the Konoha leadership consider and respond to this situation?

Combined with the information obtained from the original work.

Menma told Sasuke the truth without missing a single detail.

"So that's how it is? A clan coup? Heh, so Uchiha Itachi was just an executioner planted by Konoha? Haha, how pathetic, how tragic, how laughable!!!"

Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, his palms digging in so hard that his sharp nails pierced the skin, drawing blood. The subtle pain transmitted to his brain was imperceptible to Sasuke, his face filled with anger and mockery.

"Then why keep me here!? Why!?"

Those words sounded like the angry growl of a wounded wild beast.

'This is to test my capabilities.'

In that instant.

The last words Itachi Uchiha uttered years ago flashed through Sasuke's mind.

"The object of the test?"

Sasuke's expression also became extremely distorted at that moment.

"Why I kept you here, only Itachi Uchiha himself knows. I'm telling you this only so that you understand, Sasuke, if you want revenge, Itachi Uchiha is just one of your targets. Konoha Village, or rather, those old fogies in Konoha, are also your enemies!"

Menma was well aware of Itachi Uchiha's intention in keeping Sasuke alive.

Although there are other versions of the story about the previous life.

However, it can be clearly judged from Itachi's various actions later on that Itachi was an ultimate brother complex, and even more exaggerated than Madara Uchiha. In Itachi's heart, the clear hierarchy can be made as Sasuke > Konoha > his own clan including his parents.

Itachi Uchiha was willing to annihilate the Uchiha clan and even kill his own parents for the so-called greater good and interests of Konoha.

But just as easily, he could destroy Konoha for the sake of his younger brother.

Of course, there may be a little doubt about this, but at least in Itachi Uchiha's heart, Sasuke was at least on par with Konoha.

He would never kill Sasuke for the sake of the village.

This was Itachi Uchiha's last and only Achilles' heel.

But this point.

Menma won't tell Sasuke.

This was not only because it was difficult for him to explain why he understood Itachi Uchiha, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion from Sasuke, but more importantly, keeping it to himself was the most appropriate course of action.

Sasuke was also a comrade that Menma valued.

Facing others such as Orochimaru and Onoki.

Menma may use any means necessary, but when facing Karin, Utakata, and Sasuke, Menma hopes that they can be truly trusted companions.

therefore.

You absolutely cannot use any low-level tricks or cheap lies to deceive them.

Even if some of it is indeed the truth, it cannot come from Menma's mouth. What Menma needs to do is tell them the objective facts and let them make their own judgments.

Specifically regarding Sasuke...

Itachi Uchiha is the key.

This is Sasuke's greatest obsession.

"Ah, you're right, Menma. The person we should be asking is that bastard. Thank you, Menma. If it weren't for you, I would still be kept in the dark!"

Sasuke took a deep breath, his slightly twitching facial muscles forcibly calming his emotions. Sasuke looked at Menma with a clear expression of gratitude and said.

“It’s nothing. Helping you is also helping me, Sasuke, so you don’t need to be polite at all. We are on the same path.”

Mianma smiled gently and said.

"Yes, we are on the same path."

Sasuke nodded emphatically, his words clearly conveying sincerity.

Unlike the original story, where he was almost always alone and was ultimately deceived to death by his own brother.

In this lifetime.

Thanks to the early exposure of Mianma.

At least it is foreseeable that the path Sasuke will take will be vastly different from that in the original work.

Menma was unclear about Itachi Uchiha's true intentions.

Is he really that confident that his younger brother's future path will be exactly as he predicted?

Of course, perhaps the original novel's crown prince's persuasive skills played a part in this.

But in this life, Menma will never allow a similar scene to happen.

Whether it's Itachi or Obito.

No one can fool Sasuke anymore.

This second pillar must walk the same path as himself.

Or to put it another way, if anyone is going to be fooled, it has to be him with the vortex-shaped face who can fool people!

Menma looked at Sasuke in front of him and thought to himself.

"However, you can't rush things now, Sasuke. Whether you want to get to the bottom of things with Itachi or seek revenge on Konoha, you must become stronger. Especially for your Uchiha clan, those Sharingan are the source of your power. So, you must upgrade your eyes to the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

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

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Sasuke frowned, a thoughtful look appearing on his face, but only for a second before he resolutely shook his head.

“I know what you want to say, Sasuke, but believe me, that power doesn’t necessarily require that kind of method to obtain. It’s definitely not some cursed power!”

He saw Sasuke shake his head.

Menma knew what Sasuke wanted to say, so he immediately waved his hand and said in a very firm tone.

Chapter 260 The Disrupted Plan

Sharingan.

The ultimate secret of the Uchiha clan's bloodline power.

To be more precise, it is a manifestation of Yin Release chakra, a power on a spiritual level. It is the so-called awakening of the Sharingan by the Uchiha clan, the advancement of the tomoe, and the qualitative change that comes later, evolving into the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Those are all ways of developing one's own bloodline power.

The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's summary of the Uchiha clan's power in the original work was indeed quite accurate, but it was only one-sided.

The powerful feedback gained from intense emotional fluctuations.

This judgment is correct.

The awakening of the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan, in the Uchiha clan throughout history has indeed been accompanied by intense emotional fluctuations, and almost all of them are changes brought about by negative emotions.

But it's important to understand that these so-called negative emotions are just emotional fluctuations.

Is it the root cause?

Do not!

This is just a tactic.

It's just a way to trigger a change in one's own mind, thereby drawing out the special bloodline limit power that exists within one's own bloodline.

In other words, this is at most a sufficient condition.

Not a necessary and sufficient condition!

In Mianma's overall view, the most important point is to establish the activation of bloodline power triggered by 'intense mental fluctuations'!

In other words, the means are irrelevant.

It's just that using negative emotions to guide emotional fluctuations is the most direct and effective method.

After all, witnessing one's closest loved one die in front of them, or even killing them oneself, would have an unparalleled psychological impact.

Unless someone is extremely cold-blooded, they will definitely be moved.

This will cause corresponding mental fluctuations, further triggering one's own bloodline power.

Although these are just Menma's current subjective judgments, Menma believes they are very valuable, and he had previously obtained relevant experimental data from Orochimaru to support them.

Orochimaru never obtained a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, the number of Sharingan with tomoe that he has handled is simply too many.

On the night the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

The clan's vast wealth, including the Sharingan, was almost entirely taken by Obito and Danzo. A large portion of the Sharingan in Danzo's possession ended up in Orochimaru's hands, partly as payment to Orochimaru and partly as research material entrusted to him by Danzo. Otherwise, where do you think Danzo's "Kirin Arm" came from in the original story?

Is Danzo really capable of achieving a basic balance between Wood Release and Sharingan on his own?

Even from God's perspective, it was simply an inferior product, yet in this ninja world, such balance could be achieved.

Furthermore, the fact that even someone like Danzo could use Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan and so many tomoe Sharingan is something only Orochimaru's research capabilities could accomplish.

Menma also obtained a massive amount of research materials from Orochimaru.

Orochimaru also clarified his direction for Sharingan research thanks to Menma's investigation, deliberate information, and guidance.

As long as it falls within the scope of 'science'.

So data is everything!

"What!? Another way? Mianma, what do you mean by this!?"

The moment Sasuke heard Menma's words, his eyes widened instantly, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils as he stared intently at Menma.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!
