The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

But now...

Menma was 100% certain that he was not the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra. Ashura's chakra was still attached to his stupid younger brother. So, even if he mastered Sage Mode in the future and could perfectly integrate the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and enter the Sage Fox Chakra Mode, he would probably only reach the level of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

At most, his maximum strength is only slightly better than the two of them?

That is, the level below the Six Paths but above the Shadow Realm.

To truly break through that barrier and reach the level of a perfect 'god' of the Otsutsuki clan.

Ultimately, the hemp seed still needs external help.

The chakra of the nine tailed beasts is the direction Menma strives for.

Since Menma couldn't revive the Ten-Tails himself, he wanted to collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts to see if he could artificially create a 'mini Ten-Tails'.

Of course, this is currently just a conjecture by Mianma.

And even if it were possible to do so.

That alone probably isn't enough.

If the Six Paths were so easy to break through, then they wouldn't be hailed as the insurmountable gap between 'gods' and 'mortals'.

Not to mention that the level Menma wanted to reach was not a 'weakened version' of the Six Paths level like Otsutsuki Hagoromo, but the level of a true member of the Otsutsuki main family, namely the level of Otsutsuki Kaguya, who devoured the Chakra Fruit and evolved into a perfect form, almost immortal.

Only in this way.

Only when you have a shaved face can you truly face any enemy that comes your way, and only then can you say that you will travel through the stars in the future and try to realize that dream that seems unattainable but also has a tiny bit of possibility.

Therefore, 'Little Ten-Tail' is only the first step, but it is the most crucial one. Menma must achieve this before the subsequent plans can be meaningful.

Alternatively, it can be done simultaneously.

But that depends on whether there is a suitable opportunity.

"So, Kurama is actually a very easy person to talk to? Is that how I understand it?"

In Takigakure Village, in Menma's private experimental area, Menma stepped into the dimly lit underground passage, a faint look of surprise on his face, and spoke to Kurama in his mind.

"Hmph, compared to Shukaku, Matatabi is indeed someone you can talk to, but that's only under normal circumstances. Now?"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted softly and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Well, as long as he's better than Shukaku, that's fine. I believe that Matatabi will make the right choice, because I'm not just doing this for myself, but also for you, Kurama."

Mianma chuckled softly and said in a clear voice.

Nine-Tails remained silent for a moment after hearing these words.

"Mianma, are you telling the truth? Is there really someone who wants to resurrect that thing!?"

In the silence, even the Nine-Tails' words seemed to grow deeper and more somber.

But one could hear the anger and a hint of fear in his voice.

This also perfectly captures the Nine-Tails' feelings at this moment.

Tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra.

They are immortal.

Even if the Jinchuriki dies and all the others disappear with him, they can be resurrected at random in some location in the ninja world at most a few years later. This has been proven countless times over the past thousand years.

A recent example is the Three-Tails from Kirigakure.

Due to the sudden death of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, the Kirigakure ninja were unable to re-release the Three-Tails, causing it to disappear along with Yagura's death. However, just a few years later, the Three-Tails was resurrected somewhere in the Land of Water.

Orochimaru has already confirmed this, and recently he has been conducting a thorough search to pinpoint the exact location of the Three-Tails.

Tailed beasts are immortal.

This is common knowledge in the ninja world.

However, the Ten-Tails is the most feared existence among the Tailed Beasts. They were separated from the Ten-Tails. Once the Ten-Tails is revived, it means that the nine Tailed Beasts will be fused back together. It seems that they have just become a whole and cannot be said to have died.

But when one's own consciousness is erased, that is true death!

Menma, seeing that things were almost ready, then told Nine-Tails about it.

It can be said.

Menma said this the moment he did.

Even Kurama felt a violent shock to his heart. Back then, even when facing Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who could crush him, Kurama only felt endless anger and humiliation.

But the only thing that Menma mentioned was the news that "someone plans to revive the Ten-Tails."

It made the Nine-Tails truly feel what it means to have a heart palpitation after a thousand years.

No living being can truly accept death calmly, or even willingly. Given a choice, the instinct to live is the instinct of any living being.

The tailed beasts are no exception.

Why weren't you afraid before?

That's because they know they can't die. Do you think modern humans can kill them? That's ridiculous.

Even if you defeat someone once, or crush them once, so what?

With a human lifespan of less than a hundred years, which is laughable?

In the end, won't these tailed beasts be able to laugh at the dead humans? They have almost eternal life.

But things are different now.

Ten-tailed!

This is the only being that the nine tailed beasts fear.

Once they are reabsorbed, will they still have their own consciousness? The answer is no; this is the only development they cannot accept.

"Kurama, I have no reason to deceive you with these things. In fact, this is no longer a matter of thought, but a plan that is actually underway. The other side should have already reached the final preparation stage. Even the shell of the Ten-Tails—the Gedo Mazo—has long been summoned back from the moon. Now all that's left is to reseal you tailed beasts into the Gedo Mazo to revive the most terrifying being—the Ten-Tails!"

Menma spoke in an extremely serious tone.

Chapter 312 The Unexpected Arrival

Ten tails.

That is the incarnation of the divine tree.

This is a special being cultivated by the Otsutsuki clan of the starry sky in order to continuously evolve their life level and increase their power.

The original work doesn't actually go into much detail about the Divine Tree or the Ten-Tails.

Many things about Mianma can only be reasonable inferences based on existing information.

For example, the 'miniature ten-tailed fox' that I particularly want to create.

If I absolutely have to say something.

That's a theoretical possibility.

Do not!

Even the theory might not hold water, if the Ten-Tails were so easy to replicate.

Then it wouldn't deserve to be called the most terrifying existence.

Even the so-called 'miniature ten-tailed fox' is the same.

Even if Menma could gather the chakra of all nine tailed beasts, what about his physical body? And even more importantly, his core?

There's absolutely nothing we can do about it.

But this is the only way Menma can think of to improve his level of life and gain higher power.

The probability of failure is the highest.

Will it succeed?

That all depends on the weather.

Furthermore, it depends on whether other supporting measures for making noodles can be implemented simultaneously; otherwise, it will all be in vain.

This is also based on this point.

Menma needs the cooperation of the tailed beasts even more.

Besides their own heart-to-heart talk, the resurrection of the Ten-Tails is the best bargaining chip, and Menma also believes that these tailed beasts will make the right judgment.

Of course, this is only something that 'Menma himself believes'.

What are the facts?

It's hard to say anything for sure.

Living things are different from machines.

It's because living things have a 'heart'!

This will generate countless positive and negative emotions. Many times, we just can't make the 'right choice' and we just have to act on our emotions, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Because, whether human or beast.

This is precisely the kind of contradiction that exists.

As Menma finished speaking with such certainty, Kurama fell into a deep silence.

A thousand years.

The Nine-Tails had long since become somewhat hazy about the past, but the important people and events remained firmly and clearly in her memory.

Whether it was the one whom the nine tailed beasts regarded as their father, or the Ten-Tails, whom they feared and hated.

They are all deeply imprinted in the soul of the Nine-Tails.

'Old man, is this the future you once spoke of? So that's how it is? Then, Menma must be the right person you were talking about!'

In that space, which was still extremely dark, but where the metal fences that stood one after another were no longer there.

With its forelegs crossed and its fox head resting diagonally on top, its bright, scarlet fox eyes seemed to pierce through the layers of shadows, as if one could trace back to that ancient figure from a thousand years ago, at this moment, in the present world, as it gradually overlapped with the figure of Menma.

'If that's the case, then I'll definitely stay with this guy until the very end, to see what that perfect future world you're talking about really is like!'
