The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

They sped off in a due north direction.

Watching the receding figure of the mannequin.

Itachi instinctively wanted to stop him, but he swallowed the words back. He should have said something about this meeting.

Itachi's own intentions were hardly realized.

The only thing that can be determined is that Menma harbors absolute and immense malice towards Konoha. It's not the kind of malice that targets only a few individuals, but rather the kind that targets the entire ninja village. Most importantly, Menma's malice is the kind of ultimate malice that he is 100% capable of carrying out.

Orochimaru alone could launch the Konoha Crush plan, leading to the death of the Third Hokage. So what about Menma, who is even stronger and more powerful now?

Itachi had to consider the future of Konoha.

But there was a warning in Menma's words just now.

Itachi heard it very clearly.

This is what put Itachi in a dilemma: Konoha on one side and his younger brother on the other.

Itachi had no doubt that Menma possessed such ability and courage, and the various expressions that crossed his face made him involuntarily let out a soft sigh.

But it only lasted for less than a second.

Itachi's expression hardened again.

This stemmed not only from Itachi's stubbornness, but also from his strong self-confidence and the fact that he possessed his own trump cards.

'Sasuke, you absolutely mustn't go down the wrong path!'

After saying this in a low voice.

Itachi also leaped away and quickly left the place.

Even from the perspective of age.

Itachi is currently just a young man under twenty years old, but his 'maturity' is unprecedented, and his willpower is unparalleled. Once Itachi has made up his mind about something, no one can change his mind.

There was once someone who could do that.

But when that person died, Itachi was completely trapped in a mental space.

Everything became so obsessive.

Of course, from Itachi's perspective, all of this is reasonable and the most correct course of action. It just goes to show that humans can never truly empathize.

You can never truly empathize with someone.

These two terms are a false proposition in themselves.

People who try to say they can fully understand and accept others are often not kind-hearted; such words come from arrogant people.

However, these people often don't realize this.

Even ordinary people are like this.

Not to mention a 'crazy guy' like Itachi.

No one can truly understand such an existence; it is an 'outlier' among humans, at least that's what Menma thinks.

Putting aside the matter of Sasuke's situation, Menma shouldn't delve too deeply into it; it's best to leave Itachi to Sasuke to handle.

The single Mangekyou Sharingan that Itachi possessed was enough to make Menma wary.

Of course, Menma doesn't think that Kotoamatsukami is truly omnipotent and can control everything. In the end, it's just an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan. If it's true that anyone's consciousness can be manipulated and anyone's perception can be altered, then...

That would be an exaggeration.

According to Menma, whether the Kotoamatsukami technique can be effective, and to what extent, depends not only on the strength of the caster's spirit, but also on the spirit of the recipient. In short, it is still based on the general principles of illusion.

Who has stronger mental strength?

Whoever becomes king.

Surely a mere ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan can't possibly control Madara Uchiha.

That would violate the principles of 'technique'.

The principle of the technique is 'the strong suppress the weak', which refers not only to the technique itself, but also to the person who manipulates it.

In the original work, the only time the Kotoamatsukami technique truly demonstrated its power was when Itachi Uchiha used the transcription sealing technique he set up himself to free himself from Kabuto Yakushi's control in the Edo Tensei mode.

The sample size is too small.

Therefore, it is very effective in collecting the most effective data.

However, a general assessment is unlikely to be wrong.

It is for this reason that Menma feels apprehensive, because he is currently focused on the ultimate enhancement of his physical body, and the experiments on the mental level have not yet officially begun. Menma is unsure whether he can withstand the invasion of Kotoamatsukami.

Naturally, he didn't want to provoke Uchiha Itachi too much.

If it's time to take action.

Menma had to make sure that Itachi didn't have the chance to use Kotoamatsukami on him. It's just that it's a Sharingan, and not the Kurama clan's most abnormal five senses control. Generally speaking, there's still a possibility of avoiding genjutsu control.

Therefore, it's not that it's impossible, but rather that the risks still exist.

Humans are not machines and cannot be meticulous. Not to mention that Itachi himself is a master of genjutsu and a sharp genius ninja who is very good at seizing the right moment to attack.

Who can be sure that Itachi won't find an opportunity?

Once infected.

It's a gamble with your life.

Going to gamble on the fact that the God of Another Heaven's technique cannot control oneself.

Why bother?

He would steadily carry out his plan until he could reach the level of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju on both the spiritual and physical levels, or even the level of true bloodline limit mastery. In that time, he would be invincible in the world.

'We need to speed things up. Also, things should be almost done with Sasuke...'

As Mianma traveled north, a faint, sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he silently pondered to himself.

After this unexpected encounter.

For the rest of the journey.

The face is numb, meaning there are no further ripples.

Menma rushed back to Shinobi Village day and night.

It was also before the end of the year.

They returned to Takigakure Village, travel-worn and weary.

Although everything went smoothly on this trip, the journey to and from the destination was quite long, taking more than ten days in total.

The moment I returned to the main gate of the ninja village.

Through the main gate, one can see that the village is gradually taking on a festive atmosphere, and a faint sense of emotion is revealed between Mianma's brows.

'This is my ninja village.'

The Takigakure ninja guarding the main gate noticed Menma's figure as he approached their area.

Familiar faces, and the barrier that allows for easy passage for identification.

And that enormous amount of chakra that could be easily detected.

More than a dozen Takigakure ninjas immediately bowed and greeted him with respect, saying, "Lord Menma."

The youngest of the Taki ninja had a fanatical glint in their eyes.

The younger the child, the more likely they are to idolize others.

Especially Menma, who was his contemporary but had already swept through the ninja world and become one of the top powerhouses in the ninja world.

Her own charm is unparalleled.

Menma greeted his subordinates with a smile and nodded.

Unlike before.

Takigakure is now capable of confronting any ninja village in the country with dignity. He is about to become the supreme leader of the ninja village, which requires him to make frequent public appearances so that everyone in the ninja village can recognize him as much as possible.

Try your best to increase your presence and influence in the ninja village.

Often, one should never underestimate the importance of the senses among these grassroots ninjas and ordinary people. Menma wanted to follow the orthodox path, so he had to pay attention to all aspects of the problem. In this regard, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was the best at it.

In the historical films of each village, Hiruzen Sarutobi is definitely the one with the best popular support, or at least one of them.

This old guy really knows how to manage his image.

This is the best learning model for Mianma.

"Very good. I just took a look around, and you all performed your guard duties very well. However, you cannot let your guard down and must maintain this level of vigilance at all times."

Mianma said with a light laugh.

"Yes, Lord Menma, please rest assured!"

The dozen or so ninja from nearby also replied in unison in deep voices.

After nodding in satisfaction, Mianma darted away towards the center of the village.

By the time Menma arrived at the government hall located in the center of Shinobi Village.

Shibuki, Karin, and others had already received the news and rushed to the government affairs hall.

"Menma!"

"Menma-kun!"

Although Menma's trip did not take too long.

Shibuki, Karin, and the others were all very confident in their mahjong skills, but there's always a chance of something going wrong.

Not to mention.

Menma is far from being invincible in the ninja world. If he were to fall into an encirclement or trap, there would still be a certain probability of him dying in battle.

Of course, this probability is already infinitely low after Menma mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, unless there is a method to restrict space, or the person lying in ambush can also use this technique.

otherwise.

The ninja world is vast today.
