The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Hearing Mianma's reply.

Iruka nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

"Go back and rest. The graduation ceremony starts at nine o'clock! Don't be late."

"Yes, Teacher Iruka."

After saying this, Iruka turned and left, walking back to his own spot on the other side.

Menma remained where she was, watching Iruka's figure gradually disappear into the night before her smile faded.

He turned his head and glanced at the still brightly lit Hokage Building.

A faint, cold glint flashed across his pockmarked eyes.

'This is just the beginning!!'

The end of winter.

The atmosphere of early spring is about to arrive.

October of Konoha Year 60.

Menma also officially graduated from the Ninja Academy.

After leaving the newbie protection period, what awaits them are truly boss-level enemies that are increasingly dangerous and terrifying.

The night slowly fades away.

The dawn arrives quietly.

The next day.

When the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth in the early morning.

The ninja academy, located in the heart of the village, has gradually become noisy and bustling. Every year, the ninja academy has two fixed lively days: the start of the school year in March and the graduation season in January!

The boys and girls who have successfully passed the graduation exam will wear their newly acquired headbands and arrive at the ninja academy in high spirits to participate in their graduation ceremony. Meanwhile, the young students who have not yet graduated will look at these graduating seniors with envy and longing, imagining their own future prospects.

These little guys haven't yet witnessed the true cruelty of the ninja world.

In their eyes.

They only see the glamorous life after becoming a ninja, but they don't see the risks that ninjas have to take.

It was a rare occasion for Mianma not to get up early; instead, she slept until eight o'clock.

This is not only because of today's special circumstances

It's also because they just fought a battle last night. Even though Mizuki was a relatively weak enemy, it was still Menma's first battle in this world. It's just that Mizuki was really too bad. If Mizuki had the average strength of a Chunin and maintained the highest level of combat awareness...

Yesterday's fierce battle was not something that Mianma could have won so clearly.

Because others can't tell.

Menma was well aware that he had been a little nervous during yesterday's battle. His arm, which was holding the kunai, trembled slightly at the beginning. Don't forget that in his previous life, he lived in an incredibly harmonious and peaceful country.

The biggest 'battle scene' I ever had was 'assisting' my own parents in killing a chicken.

It would be strange if Menma didn't feel any tension at all in this kind of 'real-person PK'.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle is not that important to Menma.

But the battle itself has an extraordinary significance.

This is also what allows Menma to truly integrate into this dark and cruel world intertwined with 'blood and fire'.

Chapter 30 Graduation Ceremony

What a very comfortable night!

I slept straight through until dawn.

This is Menma's first time in this world, except when he was an infant and couldn't move. In the past, he would always get up at the crack of dawn.

This was a rare and wonderful experience.

In addition to what happened last night.

Let Mianma stand by the window, gazing at the distant scenery, as if he has a long-lost feeling of peace and tranquility.

After tidying up briefly and having breakfast, Menma put on his usual outfit, tied a headband around his forehead, pushed open the door, and strode towards the Ninja Academy.

This time is different from before.

Mianma did not deliberately choose a less crowded side road to take a detour.

Just like all the other ninja academy students, I walked freely on the shortest route, facing the morning light. The street was already crowded with many people, with wide-open storefronts and a very noisy scene.

But this time.

Menma didn't hear any subtle insults as usual. Almost every person who saw the Konoha ninja's signature headband on Menma's forehead tensed up instinctively.

Ninjas are the most unique beings in this world!

They can still dislike Menma, and even gossip about and isolate Menma in private, but they absolutely cannot openly show their malice as they did in the past.

Or rather, it can't be so blatant, so obvious!

It's even less likely that he would insult Menma in front of others when they weren't around, like he did when Menma was a child.

The difference in social status between ninjas and ordinary people was like heaven and earth!

At this moment, their gazes toward Menma became timid and hesitant!

Mianma remained calm and composed as he passed by. He didn't have any malicious intent to see the different attitudes of these ordinary people; he simply felt that he could now walk openly and honestly on the main road.

After all, no one could accept the malicious looks and even insults from these people before. Menma didn't have any masochistic tendencies, so he naturally chose to take the less crowded or even less crowded side paths. Now that he has officially become a ninja, he no longer needs to worry about these kinds of issues!

This crowd passed directly through.

Ordinary people seemed to pretend they didn't see the facial discoloration.

Only after Menma's figure gradually disappeared into the distance did they look at his departing back with a strange expression.

'I never thought this kid would actually become a ninja!'

'I wonder what the Third Hokage is thinking?'

'Why...'

'Really...'

They knew very well that from this day forward, everything would be different.

Menma, who had already left, naturally couldn't know what these ordinary people were thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care at all.

Right now, he's only thinking about his upcoming class assignments and who he'll be teamed up with.

After all, although he replaced the original 'Naruto', he is not Naruto!

In this space-time.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had twins.

He has a swirling face!

He also has a younger brother, Naruto Namikaze.

With one more person, everything will naturally be different.

The only thing that can be confirmed with a high probability is that his class teacher will still be Kakashi Hatake, because in the current Hidden Leaf Village, there is no one more suitable than Kakashi.

'It all depends on what that old man thinks.'

Menma arrived at the already bustling ninja academy, a faint look of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

I walked quietly into the ninja academy.

Along the way, the other graduates they saw all had excited and longing expressions on their faces, as if they could foresee that after becoming ninjas, they would easily complete various high-level missions and become heroes of the ninja village.

The fantasies of these people.

Menma can only say that Konoha has been too comfortable these past few years.

These graduates of the past few years have all become like flowers cultivated in a greenhouse, these ordinary graduates.

These people are just too naive.

To put it bluntly...

After graduation, it wouldn't be surprising if you died in any C-rank mission.

Geniuses are ultimately few and far between.

Those who receive preferential treatment are also a minority.

This can be clearly seen from the original work.

Not everyone is qualified to join a team led by a Jonin, and not everyone can stand out in such a cruel ninja world.

Those top ninjas who are renowned throughout the ninja world, which one of them didn't have their hands stained with blood, and which one of them didn't build their reputation on piles of bones?

Without talent, without a background, and if you can't adjust your mindset in time...

To put it bluntly...

The future of these people is not promising at all.

I can only become one of those countless white bones.

Menma himself was no exception. The decision he made and the path he was destined to take could, if not handled carefully, leave him nothing but a skeleton.

'This is also a sign of Konoha's continuous decline; being prepared for danger in times of peace is the true principle...'

Mianma shook his head slightly in his heart.

"Oh!? Isn't this our number one student? Why are you so late today? The graduation ceremony is about to start!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Upon entering the classroom.

Menma hadn't yet reached her seat.
