The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Not to mention that there is also Wugou.

Even the White Zetsu under Obito's command.

There's no way to escape Immaculate's lock!

That's how abnormally powerful my comprehension is!

Chapter 368 Honesty

Therefore, Naruto's disguise was relatively effective.

The villagers and residents around the village didn't have much of a wariness towards Naruto, not to mention that Naruto naturally possessed a special charisma, making it easier for him to gain the trust of others compared to others.

The charm value of a smile is off the charts.

On this point.

Naruto really does look a lot like Minato.

He was also very willing to help others, and all the old men and women around him were 'captured' by Naruto in just one or two dozen days.

Naruto would come and chat with these old men and women every few days.

Gradually, they gained a more comprehensive and clear understanding of the village, and further learned about the lives of these small ninja villages outside the five great ninja villages in the ninja world over the past few decades.

The most important point is that Takigakure is already one of the top villages after the Five Great Nations, but it has been very difficult for decades. Families have been torn apart, and various family tragedies have been constantly unfolding. Although it did not completely change Naruto's values, it did bring a great inner shock to Naruto.

This is exactly the same level of impact that Pain's words had on Naruto after he attacked Konoha and subdued him in the original story.

It can be said that in the original work, Nagato had already 'won' over Naruto at that moment, whether in terms of strength or mindset.

But Naruto was still that stubborn guy, firmly believing in his own convictions, and in the end, he even managed to persuade Nagato with his talk-no-jutsu.

This truly exemplifies the principle of birds of a feather flocking together.

What does that mean?

This means that Nagato is essentially the same type of being as Naruto, which is why he was persuaded by Naruto.

This is the truth.

The same applies to Naruto in this life. Although his life is vastly different from that in the original work, personality is not something that can be easily changed.

Naruto's values ​​had already been established long ago.

Naruto, who spent more time with Kakashi and Jiraiya earlier.

It's almost as if he's the same color as the 'Naruto Uzumaki' in the original work.

When Menma saw Naruto's posture up close, a faint strange light appeared in his eyes.

"Go and call Naruto over here."

That's all.

Mianma then stepped to the side.

"Yes, Lord Menma."

After responding, Wugou, who was sitting to one side, walked lightly toward Naruto.

"Mingjun, your brother is back and is waiting for you over there."

Naruto noticed Wugou walking over immediately. He had thought it was his free time for the day and was about to say something when he heard Wugou's words. Then he saw Ma's figure not far away.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Naruto's eyes lit up immediately.

"Well then, Grandpa Swamp, I'll head back now and come help you again tomorrow!"

While speaking to the old man beside him, he also quickly tidied up his own things.

It was placed in a basket to the side.

"Okay, go ahead, Xiaoming."

After Grandpa Swamp said this with a smile.

Naruto waved and ran towards Menma's location.

"Hehe, brother, you've finally come to see me! I thought..."

When Naruto arrived at Menma's side, his face was full of joy. He scratched the back of his head and said with a grin.

He had this silly, grinning look on his face.

Mianma appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he sighed inwardly.

If I had to say something, Naruto's affability is truly remarkable. Even though the two brothers had fought almost to the death before, Naruto didn't seem to care at all and still genuinely treated me as his older brother.

This is also very much in line with Naruto's style.

Isn't the relationship between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha in the original work almost exactly the same?

Menma couldn't really kill Naruto.

That is indeed one of the reasons. He is not a completely cold-blooded person after all. Naruto had no intention of killing him at all. Even though his actions seemed extremely naive to Menma, or rather, foolish, could he kill Naruto because of that?

Call it being pretentious or indecisive.

Even without the reasons mentioned earlier.

Menmaya definitely wouldn't actually kill Naruto.

Imprisoning Naruto is Menma's best option.

Menma also held the idea that there was almost no chance of even one in ten thousand, that was to change Naruto's values ​​in this way.

Who knows?

Is it just a stroke of luck?

Why did Naruto ultimately side with him?

Theoretically, it's still a possibility, and Mianma doesn't mind giving it a try, since there's nothing to lose anyway.

'So, in the end, I'm just an ordinary human being, unable to compare to those truly great people...'

Mianma thought to himself with a touch of self-mockery.

“What did I think it was? Naruto, although I still think you are indeed very stupid, at least I will keep Mother’s words in mind. I am very satisfied to see you behaving so well during this period of time. As long as you can continue to do so, your life will not change at all until that day comes, when you can regain your true freedom. I think you would not want to see Mother’s spirit in heaven still grieving for us.”

Menma looked at Naruto with a calm expression and said in a light tone.

Naruto's will is not so easily changed.

Menma has a deep understanding of this point; even if she has similar thoughts, they are not something she can easily put into practice.

Twelve years of life in Konohagakure.

Jiraiya's 12 years of teaching.

There's also the influence of Ashura's chakra.

These are the most important factors in shaping Naruto's values, and they cannot be changed in a short time or with just a few words.

Read before you do.

That is the most reasonable approach.

Menma needs to prove this with his own actions so that Naruto truly realizes what the right path is.

"Don't worry, brother, I understand. My ninja way is to keep my word. I won't do anything reckless since I've already promised."

Naruto looked up at Menma, who was half a head taller than him, and replied in a very serious tone.

Look at Naruto like this.

With a numbed expression, he nodded calmly.

Naruto's 'sensible' attitude certainly saved Menma a lot of trouble; he didn't want to waste unnecessary time playing 'hide-and-seek' with Naruto.

That really makes absolutely no sense.

As for the rest, let Naruto do it; we can't really leave Naruto with absolutely nothing.

Anyway, all things considered, even according to the original timeline, there's only a little over a year left.

At that time, whatever the outcome, everything will come to an end.

I just hope it's the ending I want to see.

Mianma's eyes flickered slightly as he silently pondered to himself.

"Well, if that's how you see it, then that's for the best. So, let's leave it at that for today."

Menma nodded, and after saying that, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute, brother, I have a question I want to ask you, is that alright?"

And it was at this very moment.

Naruto turned around and stood directly in front of Menma, asking with a very serious expression.

"Problem? What problem?"

With a furrowed brow, he spoke.

"I want to know what you really want to do, brother. I understand now. Although you hate Konoha, everything you've done isn't just for revenge. You must have your own reasons. I want to know that. Can you tell me?"

Naruto took a deep breath, a solemn look in his eyes, and stared straight at Menma, asking in a firm and resolute voice.

"What's the point of telling you my true thoughts? Naruto, what if I told you everything I did was for peace? For building a new future world? Would you still believe me then?"

Mianma clearly said these words very casually.

"I believe it, as long as my brother tells me this seriously, I will believe it!"

Mianma hadn't finished speaking yet.

Naruto replied in a very firm tone.

A deeply sincere expression shone through that youthful face.
