The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly contracted.

Naruto also showed a look of surprise.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Naruto's words came out subconsciously.

This figure was none other than Menma, who had just rushed over from the Land of Grass.

A distance that an ordinary ninja might not be able to cover in a day, Menma intercepted Jiraiya and Naruto in just a few hours, though not in a straight line, but at an angle.

But this is enough to prove just how incredibly fast the facial numbness can be.

At this moment, Menma was surrounded by an extremely intense killing aura, and his powerful chakra aura was bursting out.

The moment it hits you.

Even Jiraiya and Naruto, who had entered Sage Mode, couldn't help but catch their breath.

"How could I be here!? If I weren't here, wouldn't you have been able to escape so easily!? Naruto, you've really disappointed me time and time again. Did you really think I wouldn't kill you!?"

Menma looked at Naruto with a murderous intent and said in a cold voice.

Leave Naruto behind.

It's simply to give my parents an explanation in this life.

The grace of life.

We still have to acknowledge it.

Especially after meeting her mother in this life in person, Menma's soft spot was touched to some extent.

However, there is a major premise here: Naruto must not cause trouble.

"No, brother, you've misunderstood. I just..."

Naruto explained with a hint of anxiety.

"Misunderstanding!? Give up resistance now, obediently come back to the village with me, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, Naruto, you should know what I'm capable of!"

Menma looked at Naruto with a cold expression and said.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 450 Ruthless Kill

His anger was as fierce as thunder.

Leaving aside Naruto, Jiraiya, sitting to the side, stared wide-eyed at Menma's undisguised killing intent and surging chakra aura. Although he knew very well that Menma hadn't gone all out in that fight and was probably much stronger than him.

It definitely hasn't come to that!

The mere outward manifestation of his aura was enough to send chills down my spine!

'A terrifying crimson shadow covered in blood?'

At this moment.

Once again, the prophecy given by the Great Toad Sage whom he respected so much surfaced in Jiraiya's mind. Just as Hagoromo had believed in Gamamaru back then, Jiraiya now also firmly believed in Gamamaru's prophecy. The terrifying aura and coldness that Menma was displaying at this moment seemed to further confirm Gamamaru's prophecy.

Fukasaku, who returned to Mount Myōboku and failed to use the Reverse Summoning Technique, was summoned again to help Jiraiya re-enter Sage Mode. He looked at Menma with a faint look of fear.

Such a terrifying aura.

This is a height that even Madara Uchiha never reached back then!

Is this really a power that humans can possess?!

Has the vortex-shaped surface already reached that level?!

A terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in Fukasaku's mind, but he immediately shook his head and banished it. That level was a height that only beings from beyond the heavens could reach.

Fukasaku absolutely refused to believe that Menma could be touched, let alone when she was not even fifteen years old.

“Brother, you may not believe me, but I really didn’t mean to leave the village. I was just worried that the conflict between Grandpa Jiraiya and Karin and Toneri would escalate. Of course, I’m willing to go back with you, brother, but could you let Grandpa Jiraiya go? He was just worried about me. I’m willing to take full responsibility. Grandpa Jiraiya didn’t hurt anyone in the village this time.”

Hearing Menma's words, Naruto knew very well that his older brother was truly enraged. If he showed any sign of refusal, Naruto had no doubt that his brother would take action directly. Therefore, Naruto looked at Menma with a pleading expression and spoke.

"Naruto..."

Jiraiya, sitting to the side, opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. He had originally intended to take Naruto directly back to Konoha and deal with the rest later. Even though Menma was strong, Jiraiya firmly believed that Naruto would only become stronger in the future. He himself needed a long time to learn Sage Mode, and even then, he would only be able to enter it with the assistance of two Toad Sages. Naruto, on the other hand, had mastered it smoothly in just a few days.

Doesn't that say it all?

Naruto is only 15 years old now, and his peak is far from over.

In a few more years.

Jiraiya believed that Naruto might be able to reach the same level as the First Hokage.

This wasn't just Jiraiya's wild guess. As the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra in this generation, although he lacked the assistance of the Nine-Tails, a super-powerful battery, compared to the original story, it doesn't mean that Naruto could never become a top-tier existence again.

Naruto, who possesses Ashura's chakra and is considered the son of the Sage of Six Paths, theoretically still has the potential to grow to that level.

But this takes time, and more importantly, it requires the right circumstances.

It's not something that can be achieved overnight.

But Mianma won't give you that kind of time and opportunity.

With Menma blocking his way from the front and Toneri chasing after him from behind, Jiraiya had no other options but to remain silent.

This was his only option.

"Let him go? Wouldn't that be telling the world that Hidden Light Village is a place where you can come and go as you please?! Jiraiya, you must pay the price for your actions."

Menma looked at Naruto and the one-armed Jiraiya with cold eyes, and said without any emotion.

If you loved Jiraiya as much as you loved the shonen manga Naruto during your teenage years in your previous life, then Menma in this life hates Jiraiya just as much.

A hypocrite and a coward.

This is the label that Menma gave to Jiraiya.

Such an existence.

How ridiculous and ironic that they keep saying they believe in a world where people understand each other one day.

If Jiraiya had truly worked for world peace, Menma would think more highly of him, and might even admire him, because he had tried and genuinely wanted to create such a world.

But in what area did Jiraiya put in his efforts?

Searching for that elusive, prophetic child.

Or perhaps they should listen to a toad.

Isn't this the most foolish thing ever?!

Menma's past life was in a red country with thousands of years of history. He firmly believed that man can conquer nature!

prophecy!?

That's just self-indulgence and deception on the part of the weak.

"Brother, what do you mean by this!?"

When Naruto saw Menma's undisguised chilling expression, his face changed, and he instinctively adopted a wary stance.

"Hmph, my foolish brother, you are still as foolish as ever."

Mianma gave a cold laugh.

At this moment.

"boom!"

The powerful chakra released from that state, which no longer held any restraint.

That terrifying aura that makes everything tremble.

At the moment it was firmly locked in.

"!?"

"this!?"

Both Jiraiya and Naruto's bodies stiffened involuntarily.

It felt like a complete loss of control over one's own body.

"Clang!"

next second.

The moment countless golden chains shot out.

"Scatter! Grandpa Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya was still somewhat stiff.

Naruto was the first to react.

"Immortal Technique—Da Jade Rasengan!!"

The enormous chakra sphere that appeared directly on his palm pressed down on the several golden chains that were approaching.

"Peng!"

After a loud bang.

Several golden chains were directly deflected.

however!

Even if it deviates by only a small distance, it quickly adjusts back to its original posture.

"Peng!"

At the angle of backward winding.

Even Naruto himself avoids it like the plague.

"Splash!!"

They were bound up in layers upon layers.
