The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Menma wrinkled his little nose as if he was thinking, then looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said in a serious and firm tone.

"Oh? A great ninja recognized by everyone? That's certainly a wonderful wish, but you'll need to work hard for it yourself, Menma."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Menma's head and said gently.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard, Grandpa of the Third Generation."

Mianma nodded emphatically and said.

"Well, you're almost six years old now, so you should go to the Ninja Academy next year, Menma."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued.

"Ninja Academy? Really? Third Hokage, can I go to the Ninja Academy to study?"

Menma's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi in a slightly anxious tone.

This time, Menma really didn't pretend at all.

As she grows older, approaching the age of six, Menma is constantly worried about whether she will be able to enter the Ninja Academy as she wishes.

Remember what it's like to be Menma instead of Naruto!

The plot of this world is already different from that of the original work.

He could only treat everything in the original work as a reference.

If you think that whatever happened in the original story will definitely happen in this timeline, then you are sorely mistaken.

Chapter 5 Chakra Refining

Isn't everything that just happened the best proof?

His name is Uzumaki Menma, not Uzumaki Naruto.

He is a typical red-haired, gray-eyed little boy, not the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy from the original story.

Before this, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to enter the ninja academy to study at the normal time. If he couldn't even take the first step into becoming a ninja, then he would be in a really miserable situation.

Therefore, now, upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words...

The joy on Mianma's face was truly from the bottom of his heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, of course, had no idea what Menma was thinking. However, upon seeing Menma's happy smile, the Third Hokage's smile deepened. He thought he had gotten closer to Menma and was doing Menma a favor.

"Of course, you're old enough to meet the requirements, but there's a small test before you can enter the Ninja Academy. You can only enter if you pass it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Huh? What kind of test is it, Grandpa Three Generations? I will definitely complete it!"

Mianma said confidently.

"Hehe, it's about chakra refinement. Little Menma, you should know that the most important first step for a ninja is to learn how to refine chakra. Only by mastering this can you enter the Ninja Academy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gently patted Menma's head again, then took out a scroll from his pocket, placed it on the table, and said with a smile.

"The refinement of chakra?"

Looking at the scroll on the table.

The light in Mianma's pupils became even more radiant.

This is what he has wanted most for the past five years.

Now that he could finally get it, Menma couldn't hide his excitement, which was clearly written all over his face.

"Yes, don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely achieve it before I start school next year."

Mianma patted his small chest and said confidently.

"Yes, Grandpa also believes in Xiao Mianma."

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned forward slightly, looking at Menma with an encouraging expression.

Cultivate feelings from a young age.

Then strengthen the connection step by step.

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that in the future, this child would definitely become his most steadfast supporter and would be one hundred percent the inheritor of the Will of Fire that he had taught.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, don't worry, I will definitely protect Konoha well. And the Fourth Hokage, Naruto and Menma, I will take good care of them all."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself silently!

Time is precious for Naruto.

Even on New Year's Eve, Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot be idle.

However, he stayed with Menma for a while longer, until dusk before leaving.

Mianma maintained a very happy expression throughout.

The smile on his face only slowly faded after Hiruzen Sarutobi left.

'The Ninja Academy? The moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived!'

Mianma gently squeezed the scroll in his palm, silently thinking that he needed to rearrange his next cultivation plan.

Chakra!

The official explanation is that it is a product of the perfect combination of physical and mental energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells in the human body.

Of course, there are contradictory statements in the original work.

Some say this is an ability inherent in humans, and the Sage of Six Paths merely taught the corresponding refining methods.

Some say this is the result of the Sage of Six Paths distributing his chakra to humans, which ultimately means that the chakra originated from Kaguya Otsutsuki and from the fruit of the Divine Tree.

Which one is the truth?

It is now impossible for modern humans to know.

But that doesn't seem to be that important.

After all, humans have already mastered the method of extracting chakra, which is the chakra produced by perfectly combining the physical and mental energy extracted from one's own cells, as mentioned above.

The difference is that only a small percentage of humans can do this.

The vast majority of humans are unable to refine chakra.

Even in the five great ninja villages, the annual entrance exams for the ninja academy eliminate a large number of people from commoner backgrounds. If you can't even refine your chakra, how can you become a ninja?!

As for those from ninja clans, there is no issue of them being rejected by the ninja academy, because they have already begun refining chakra within their own clans before entering the ninja academy. Ordinary people who cannot refine their chakra would not be able to get rejected by the ninja academy.

For those with hemp fibers, this problem doesn't exist at all.

The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

If you can't extract chakra, isn't that a joke?!

Despite the interference from the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Menma's chakra extraction wasn't going smoothly or steadily, but after a day of hard work...

"Is this chakra!?"

In the early morning of January 1, 1954 in Konoha.

Menma finally succeeded in refining his own unique chakra for the first time.

When I felt that special power.

A look of joy immediately appeared on his pockmarked face.

Even just a trace of chakra!

Mianma could feel that his 'power' was far greater than before.

Of course, this is just the beginning!

Although, without external forces or any special factors, the maximum chakra limit of any ninja is predetermined from the beginning.

However, this does not mean that from the moment you can extract chakra, your total chakra amount can reach its limit.

However, it still requires effort after birth.

Only then can the total amount of chakra reach its limit.

What's the key point?

That is in terms of physical energy and mental energy.

The harder you work, the faster you can reach this limit.

Having the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, he was born with immense vitality, so he didn't need to worry about his physical energy.

Mental forging is something I must prioritize in the future.

Not to mention that he also has the Nine-Tails' chakra within him as his greatest asset.

'This is finally the most decisive step we've taken! Now it's time to pick up the pace!'

Mianma exhaled a breath of stale air, clenched his hands slightly, and the look in his pupils became slightly sharp at that moment.

The plan to begin changes has been initiated.

In the period of time that follows.

Menma devoted all his time to the steady refinement and control of chakra. He didn't need to reach an extremely high level, but at least he wanted to be able to use it in a basic way.

For those with freckles.

Time is of the essence!

It is now January of Konoha Year 54.

It's only been six years since the original story began!

He must acquire the minimum ability to protect himself within these six years; he can't spend these crucial six years as leisurely as Naruto in the original story.
