The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Shennong, who seemed to be making some small movements, but it was clear that Shennong had lost most of his fighting power and was almost dead. So he focused most of his attention on Menma.

Mianma's performance over this period has been nothing short of formidable.

Their organization's plan has always been to launch the tailed beast capture plan at a certain point in time, and Uzumaki Menma in front of them is one of the targets, without being able to judge Menma's intentions.

Kisame naturally went to great lengths to be vigilant.

There's a high probability that they possess the ability to eliminate you.

However, he was not alone now, with Itachi by his side, and Kisame did not think Menma was capable of killing the two of them.

"Hmm, it really was a chance encounter, but it was also a stroke of luck. I wonder if you two famous rogue ninjas could be so kind as to hand over the Shennong-san behind you to me? I need his help with a small matter."

Mianma smiled lightly and said in a calm tone.

It's not just a polite remark.

This time, Mianma wasn't deliberately sought out; it was just a genuine chance encounter in the wild, the kind where he randomly attacked.

However, Menma himself knew that this was the truth.

Itachi, Kisame, and even Shennong on the other side didn't believe it at all. Shennong, in particular, felt his hair stand on end when he heard that Menma's target was also him.

He secretly groaned inwardly.

Why are all the targets myself?

Is there some value in myself that I'm not even aware of?

Shennong was clearly puzzled and kept guessing in his heart, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could never figure it out.

The former really did come to invite him.

The latter is simply interested in the legacy of the Sky Country.

"Just a small favor? Hehe."

Kisame Hoshigaki had a completely 'I don't believe you' attitude, and his occasional glances revealed that he was on full alert.

Kisame is now very clear about Menma's identity.

In Kisame's view, this was definitely Menma's well-prepared move, and there must be more than just Menma alone; there must be others lying in ambush.

Kisame, of course, needs to be on high alert.

Everyone in the ninja world knows just how powerful Menma's forces are right now!

"Sorry, we're taking this person with us too. Menma-kun, please step aside here. We have no intention of being your enemy."

After a long silence, Itachi Uchiha finally spoke, his eyes still calm and his tone devoid of any emotion.

It's like a machine.

"Is that not possible? Then I can only say I'm sorry!"

Her face was pale, her eyelids slightly drooping, and those words fell softly.

"Whoosh!"

next second.

"Buzz!"

With a single, forceful pull, the face became numb.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

The specially made kunai that had been ejected earlier suddenly attacked Shennong's location.

The sharp, cold front came head-on the moment it appeared.

Shennong was stunned for a fraction of a second. Weren't you all in a standoff? Why are you attacking me?!

However, Shennong was, after all, a ninja who had experienced countless battles.

In battles between several major powers a decade or two ago, Shennong killed countless ninjas from those countries, making him a top-tier individual in terms of strength and experience.

The momentary daze was only for a split second.

Then he immediately realized what was happening.

"Shh!"

With a single wave of his hand.

The purplish-black tentacles that swung directly from the torso easily knocked the kunai away.

Then.

Shennong focused all his attention on Menma, Itachi, and Kisame, remaining vigilant for their next attack.

Chapter 362 A Special Meeting

But only for that moment.

The gazes that turned towards them.

In less than a second.

"!?"

The crimson figure that had once stood where Mianma stood was now gone, its aura completely undetectable. A look of astonishment appeared in Shennong's eyes.

And it was already a second before.

The moment when nothing could fly by.

Kisame!

Itachi seemed to have sensed something, and immediately uttered those words in a deep voice.

"Yes, Itachi-san!"

Kisame understood immediately and turned around.

At the same time.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the crimson shadow flickered.

"What!?"

"Hehe, Shennong Sang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make this trip with me."

In the side position.

Words spoken softly.

A sense of aura that has been rediscovered.

Shennong's expression changed, and just as he turned his head and saw Mianma's calm face, he was startled and had no time to react.

Mianma gently patted Shennong's shoulder with one hand.

"Clang!"

A golden chain suddenly shot out.

It quickly wrapped itself around Shennong and easily subdued him, clearly feeling the stagnation in his chakra flow.

next moment.

Menma's eyes had already turned into scarlet fox eyes.

"Buzz!"

A peculiar chakra fluctuation spread out, and Shennong felt a sense of disorientation. He subconsciously tried to struggle free of his mind and body, but at this moment, he couldn't even refine his chakra.

The more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

It seemed like a very long period of resistance, but in reality, it was only a little over a second before the spirit was forever submerged.

One move to defeat the enemy.

Shennong's life and death were completely in Mianma's control.

Kisame was just about to launch a powerful attack.

With a light flick of his wrist, Mianma made a move.

"Splash!"

"Clang!"

That was another golden chain that flew out at lightning speed.

Although it was also the first time he had seen it, Kisame, sensing the danger, narrowed his eyes and swung his Samehada sword with all his might.

"Bang bang bang!"

After smashing the two chains away with extreme ferocity, he took a step back and created some distance between himself and the chain.

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed completely.

The strength and methods that Mianma displayed in that instant.

Not just Kisame.

A strange light also appeared in Itachi's pupils. This was not the first time Itachi had seen Menma. Many years ago, he had seen Menma many times. Even after he defected, thanks to his identity as a multi-spy, Itachi had returned to Konoha. At that time, Menma gave Itachi the feeling of a calm little boy, but this feeling was different.

In the darkness.

But it gave Itachi a chill down his spine.

It wasn't simply because of Menma's strength, but because of Menma's character.

Itachi felt as if he wasn't looking at an ordinary human; the boy standing in front of him seemed like an extremely terrifying ferocious beast.

It sent a faint chill down Itachi's spine, but this feeling was like an illusion, fleeting and ephemeral.

This caused Itachi to experience a very inexplicable change in his state of mind.

But no matter what.
