The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Menma, still with that calm expression, looked at Onoki, whom he had trampled underfoot, and uttered those words indifferently.

An operation that was completely suppressed.

That chilling killing intent was so intense and so obvious at this moment.

Iwagakure is definitely one of the ninja villages that Menma has a good impression of.

However, this is only based on an assessment of the objective situation. It does not mean that Menma will give Iwagakure a break just because he has a good impression of it. Even without this incident, Menma would still take action against Iwagakure after making all the preparations. It's just that the process and methods might be slightly different.

But things are different now.

Onoki led Iwagakure to take the initiative.

If the dough is cracked, then corresponding mandatory measures must be taken.

Since it's a good opportunity anyway, there's no way I can miss it. It might be a little rough and hasty, but Menma is probably planning to take advantage of this great battle to launch his plan to unify the ninja world.

So today, neither Onoki nor Hirotsuchi, who is locked in a fierce battle, nor even the rapidly approaching Ozaki and Han, can leave this place.

"Whirlpool Face, you've really kept this a secret for a long time..."

That fleeting vitality.

Even lifting his arm became extremely difficult for Onoki. The large amount of blood flowing out meant that, without timely treatment, even if Menma didn't finish him off, Onoki would die from excessive bleeding after a period of time.

At this moment.

Onoki had already given up all struggle.

Because that makes no sense.

Faced with an opponent who was so cunning and had always kept his true intentions hidden, what else could Onoki say?

No one can be blamed for this.

You should blame someone.

I can only blame myself for not having learned what true prudence means, even at my age.

"Hehe, I'll take this as a compliment, Lord Tsuchikage. Well then, Lord Tsuchikage, please set off on your journey!"

Menma still wore that faint smile, and the Thunder God Sword, which he had raised high again in his right hand, was aimed at Onoki's heart.

"You bastard, stop right now!!!"

The sword blade then thrust down fiercely.

Not far away.

A purplish-red figure rushed over, emanating a violent aura.

In an instant, a scarlet chakra cloak burst forth.

It was none other than Rōshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of Iwagakure.

The chakra that burst forth with all its might shook the ground, and a ball of flame suddenly shot out.

They fiercely attacked Mianma from all directions.

This is a terrifying attack that even ordinary ninjas would try to avoid.

Mianma merely rolled his eyes slightly and flicked his hand.

The chakra that surged forth in sync.

"Boom!!"

The next second, the earth shook violently, followed by a massive rock barrier that suddenly appeared, and a huge, surging wave of water.

It stands tall and imposing, pressing down with immense force.

In an instant, the waves of flames were extinguished with great ease.

Then.

The Thunder God's Sword, which easily pierced through Onoki's chest skin with a backhand motion, also precisely penetrated Onoki's heart.

A truly 'unforgettable' pain.

This was also the last glimmer of hope that had been completely severed.

"Huh!? Wow..."

After letting out a muffled groan, more crimson blood spilled from the corner of Onoki's mouth.

A vision that is rapidly becoming blurry.

The left arm, trembling, tries to be raised.

'First Master... Second Master... Onoki is going to disappoint you...'

That final, low sigh.

Consciousness slowly fades into darkness.

With a tilt of his head, Onoki died. This Third Tsuchikage, who survived four wars and lived to be over ninety years old in the original story, died in this life under Menma's sword.

"No!! Father!!!"

"You bastard!!!"

"It can't be repaired! It can't be repaired!! It can't be repaired!!"

Not far away.

Upon witnessing this scene, Huang Tu went berserk.

Both Lao Zi and Han revealed expressions of extreme rage; this was the Kage of their Iwagakure!

He died at the hands of others, right before their eyes.

How could the three of them possibly accept this?!

But I can't accept it; this is the stark reality that's already before me.

"Don't worry, there's no need to shout so loudly. You can all go down and keep Lord Tsuchikage company right away."

Mianma looked at Huangtu and the other two with a detached expression and said in a cold tone.

"boom!!!"

We will never let any of the Iwagakure high-ranking officials who have invaded the land of the water chestnut go unpunished.

Ōnoki is fine too.

The remaining loess, old purple, and Han people are fine too.

Even if Menma didn't use his full strength, these three were really no match for Menma in his current state.

"Boom!!"

"Peng!"

They only used one-third, or even less, of their strength.

That means it can clean up and cook three people.

Even when Old Purple and Han unleashed their complete Tailed Beast transformations once again, they appeared so weak and powerless in the face of Menma's Adamantine Sealing Technique.

Neither Wugou nor Fu needed to exert any effort.

Mianma easily dealt with Huangtu, Laozi, and Han all by himself in less than five minutes.

Like Onoki.

"Pfft!"

Huang Tu was instantly killed by Mian Ma; the sharp blade severed his head, killing him with a single blow.

Old Purple and Han have four and five tails on their bodies.

Menma naturally needed to hold back a little; he couldn't really kill the two of them, as he still needed the chakra of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails.

"Hmm, that makes it seven-ninths..."

Looking at Lao Zi and Han, who had both fallen into a coma due to serious injuries, Mianma nodded with satisfaction and said.

Nine tailed beasts!

He now has seven.

The only ones still out there are Shukaku (one-tailed sword) and Gyūki (eight-tailed sword).

"Kurama, Yataka, Isobu, Saiken, and Chongming, we'll have to ask you guys for help with Sun Wukong and King Mu's affairs."

In the spiritual world.

Menma looked at the enormous Nine-Tails behind them, along with the other four miniature tailed beasts, and said...

"Humph."

"Ah, no problem, noodles."

"Don't worry, Wukong and the others will understand."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely persuade him."

"Ok!"

The tailed beasts responded one after another.

"Then I'll have to trouble you all."

Mianma smiled and nodded.

Immediately afterwards.

A return to consciousness in the real world.

"I'll take these two back first. As for the remaining Iwa ninja, Muku and Fu, I'll leave them to you two. I'll notify Ajun-san to bring reinforcements. The methods are irrelevant, but no one can escape. Understand?"

With a calm expression, Mái looked at Wúgǒu and Fū and said.

"Yes, Lord Menma."

Wu Gou immediately bowed and replied.

"Yeah, don't worry, Mianma, none of those guys will escape!"
