The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Therefore, in a sense, Menma admires people like Orochimaru, who have the courage and motivation to explore the truth of everything.

"Well, I need to talk to Mr. Face Ma about something."

Orochimaru said with a faint smile.

"Huh? With the three-year deadline fast approaching, Orochimaru-san still has time to come here. It seems this matter is really important."

July has arrived.

It's already this point in the second half of the year.

Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu has also brought him back to a point where he can change bodies.

Although, from the current perspective, everything about Orochimaru seems to be normal.

But what is the actual situation?

Even without the original plot for reference.

Under such close proximity, the face can be 'seen' clearly.

When Orochimaru heard Menma's words, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal after only a second.

"It's precisely because the time is approaching that we need to come and discuss some important matters with Menma-kun."

Orochimaru stared intently at Menma, speaking slowly and deliberately with an air of nonchalance that belied his underlying tension.

A snake's first instinct!

Although there is no clear evidence.

But this time I met Menma.

Orochimaru could clearly sense that Menma had undergone a tremendous change.

That seems to be an evolution at the entire level of life.

Orochimaru couldn't help but tremble inside.

He was 100% certain that Uzumaki Menma had at least reached the level of the First Hokage, Uchiha Madara, or perhaps even a higher level!

because.

When Menma turned his gaze just now, and the two made eye contact, Orochimaru's breath caught in his throat. He felt a jolt, as if his very soul had been seen through.

"An important matter? Heh, then Orochimaru-san, let me just say it."

Mianma raised an eyebrow, shifted to a more comfortable position, leaned back in the chair, and said casually.

He could probably guess what Orochimaru was going to say.

"May I ask Menma-kun a question first? Has Menma-kun changed in any way lately?"

Orochimaru licked his lips once again.

He hadn't intended to ask, but in the end he couldn't suppress his desire. His snake eyes seemed to flash with a different kind of light at that moment, staring straight at Mianma, his tone even sounding a little urgent.

"Huh? Orochimaru-san truly lives up to his reputation as the number one research fanatic in the ninja world. That's right, I went out for a while recently and encountered some interesting things that were indeed of great help to me. What, are you interested, Orochimaru-san?"

Menma smiled slightly, and a hint of danger seemed to emanate from his eyes as he looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Snakes are among the easiest creatures to spot danger.

Even without any evidence.

Orochimaru had a feeling that he couldn't keep asking, otherwise, something might happen that he didn't want to see or that he couldn't accept.

A fleeting biological instinct.

Orochimaru forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"Hehe, if you're asking if I'm interested, then I'm definitely interested. But since it's Menma-kun's personal matter, I won't ask too much. I just want to ask if the promises Menma-kun made before still stand?"

Orochimaru stared directly at Menma as he spoke.

at that moment.

Orochimaru himself didn't realize that his tone had become somewhat cautious.

It was as if the person in front of him had become someone he could never easily offend.

"A promise? Oh, I see. It's about assisting Orochimaru-san's research, right? Of course, I will fulfill my promise. Over the past two years, I think I've contributed to Orochimaru-san's research. The Sharingan, Byakugan, Sage Body, and the Tailed Beasts—I don't think I've broken my promise, have I?"

Mianma was taken aback at first, then chuckled and said.

"Yes, that's for sure. Menma-kun's reputation is well-known. So, I'd like to ask for your assistance today. Could you provide some of your hair and blood to help with my next round of research? I wonder if you would be willing?"

Orochimaru softened his tone and spoke slowly.

"Blood and hair?"

Mianma narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now and before.

Indeed, the difference is now worlds apart.

The entire life level has changed, and even the smallest cells will be completely different from ordinary people.

Orochimaru's individual strength.

They really don't take Mianma seriously anymore.

But in terms of scientific research, his level is absolutely unparalleled.

They can even research forbidden techniques like the Reanimation Jutsu. Orochimaru improved the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu created by Tobirama Senju multiple times, turning it from a half-useless technique used simply to complement the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Jutsu into a truly powerful forbidden technique.

These are the best evidence to demonstrate Orochimaru's scientific research and technology.

Just because others can't figure something out doesn't mean Orochimaru can't do it.

This is Orochimaru's ability.

However, this hesitation lasted only a moment.

next second.

Menma smiled and said, "No problem, it's just some blood and hair. As I said before, I have always been very supportive of Orochimaru's research."

What good would it do for Orochimaru to study it?

There are limits to some things.

After all.

If you are not a true member of the Uzumaki clan.

If I weren't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Getting to where we are today has been incredibly difficult; to put it bluntly, this is a world where bloodline matters.

Do not!

It should even be said that many so-called shonen manga worlds are actually worlds that emphasize status and lineage. Without the corresponding status and lineage, your potential is limited.

The world of Naruto.

Might Guy is the limit for mortals.

However, his limit still requires him to pay the price with his life, not counting this special case.

The true pinnacle was Jiraiya in Sage Mode and the Third Raikage.

Superb film quality.

It's a level that ordinary humans can reach.

The rest.

Bloodline determines everything.

Without bloodline, you cannot transcend that level, and you cannot allow your life to undergo true evolution.

So what good would it do to let Orochimaru conduct his research freely?

Menma has absolutely no need to worry about Orochimaru's threat.

On the contrary, it allows us to further extract Orochimaru's remaining value.

"It's about research data. I hope Orochimaru-san can give me a copy later."

After a slight pause, Mianma continued.

"Oh? Of course, I have no problem with that at all."

Orochimaru was prepared to be rejected by Menma, but to his surprise, Menma agreed.

Is this a sign of complete lack of self-respect, or is there some other motive?

It was clearly the outcome he most wanted to see that Mianma agreed.

But once he actually agreed, Orochimaru started having all sorts of wild thoughts.

"So that's all I wanted to say, Orochimaru-san?"

Menma, of course, didn't care what Orochimaru was thinking.

Things are different now.

Menma, who had just escaped from Konoha two years ago, still needed Orochimaru's protection. In a real fight, he could only barely protect himself. The initiative was almost entirely in Orochimaru's hands, and Menma needed to use various means to achieve a delicate balance with Orochimaru.

But things are completely different now.

Orochimaru is just a pawn in Menma's hands, someone he can manipulate however he wants.

This is a world where strength reigns supreme.

When an insurmountable chasm clearly appeared between the two of them, Menma was already able to look down on Orochimaru from a high position.

The balance of power has shifted.

The initiative was firmly in Mianma's hands.

"No, this is just something I thought of on the spur of the moment. The main thing is that I got some interesting things from Konoha and wanted to share them with Menma-kun."

Orochimaru shook his head slightly, a faint, eerie glint in his snake-like eyes. As he spoke, he pulled a scroll from his robes and flicked it with one hand.
