The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Chapter 510 Mount Myōboku

The choices that need to be made.

It was during this time that everyone in Konoha Village was energized, confident that under the leadership of their First Hokage, they would surely turn the tide and were fully focused on preparing for battle.

Minato and Kushina had already left Konoha Village a long time ago.

“Minato, I know you still care about Konoha and hope to see Menma reconcile with the village, and I understand that. But I hope you understand that what you should be doing now is fulfilling your responsibilities as a father. We owe our two children so much, so much. As parents, we have never taken care of our children even for a single day. We once thought that the two brothers could rely on each other, which offered some comfort. But Konoha, no, I should say that the actions of that Third Hokage, truly disgust me. Naruto is a little better, at least he enjoys the glory of being the son of the Hokage. But Menma? He is also our child. As I said before, I can let it go for my husband's sake, but we, as husband and wife, should not get involved in what happens afterward. You are no longer the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato!”

She looked at her husband, who seemed about to say something.

Kushina paused, looking at Minato with a very serious expression. As she spoke, her sorrow deepened. Just thinking about how, after she and her husband sacrificed themselves for the village, her child would face hostility and rejection from the entire village, unable to live in the house they left behind, practically without any friends, forced to flee the village, and even forced to fight among siblings.

Kushina felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

She is a disqualified mother.

If it weren't for Minato's presence, Kushina would have already been unable to resist attacking Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and the others the moment she was summoned.

That's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to.

With the temperament of a blood-red chili pepper.

Kushina was able to endure it all because of her love for Minato. Therefore, Kushina truly doesn't want to hear any words from her husband that favor Konoha, not even a single one, as that would be enough to make her feel terrible.

He looked at his wife's eyes, which were almost pleading.

Minato's expression also softened considerably.

"Kushina, how could you think that way? As you said, I am Naruto and Menma's father. I have fulfilled my duties as Hokage, and now that I am dead, I will not do anything from the perspective of Hokage anymore. I just wanted to talk to you about Naruto's situation. We may need to be more tactful. After all, from what we've learned before, we can see that although Naruto's personality seems different from Menma's, he inherited your stubbornness. In particular, Menma killed Jiraiya in front of Naruto, which must have had a great impact on him. I think we can't just look at the two brothers according to our own ideas."

Minato first gently touched his wife's red hair, and then spoke with a gentle expression.

Speaking of the very last part.

Minato himself also showed a slight look of distress.

Both of my children are outstanding.

Leaving aside Menma, at this age she can perfectly use the power of the Nine-Tails, and she can also use the Uzumaki clan's Kagura Mind's Eye and Adamantine Sealing Technique, and easily master the Flying Thunder God Technique.

His individual abilities far surpass those of ordinary movie stars.

This is not something that ordinary people can handle.

The fact that even Konoha had to use forbidden techniques to summon these dead people is enough to show this.

Naruto's place.

Based on the information we had previously gathered.

And that meeting too.

It is also clear that Naruto learned Sage Mode in a very short time, a skill that took Jiraiya a long time to master. He also formed a contract with Mount Myōboku, which allowed him to learn any ninjutsu very quickly.

In terms of strength, they are all above the Five Kage as commonly understood.

Of course, the most important point is...

The two children look different, but some things in their bones are almost exactly the same.

Minato was really struggling with how to face his two children and how to resolve the issues between them.

You can't just stand by and watch your two children kill each other, can you?

This is what troubles Minato.

After all, through his previous conversation with Menma, Minato knew clearly that his child was not a purely bloodthirsty avenger with a twisted mind, and would not usually take his anger out on ordinary people.

He is no longer the Hokage of Konoha.

Whether the village could continue to exist was not entirely indifferent to Minato, but compared to certain things, it didn't matter.

Ultimately, my focus should be on my two children.

"Really?"

Kushina looked at Minato with a suspicious expression and asked.

"Kushina, would I lie to you?"

Minato said with a hint of helplessness.

Kushina stared intently at her husband, and Minato calmly met his wife's gaze.

Much later.

Kushina then slowly nodded.

"That's more like it."

Kushina smiled and said.

"Wait a minute? What did you say? You want to take a more tactful approach with Naruto? Why go through all that trouble? If that kid doesn't listen, just knock him down with one punch and take him away. Even if he's learned Sage Mode, I don't believe this little guy can cause any trouble."

Kushina gave a soft snort.

To reiterate, Kushina didn't care what Menma did to Konoha. She believed that they could defeat the five great ninja villages, and that her eldest son, who had gathered all nine tailed beasts, was unlikely to fail.

The only thing she cared about was the problem between the two brothers.

Jiraiya was killed by Menma?

Minor issue!

Although she used to respect Jiraiya, that respect completely disappeared after learning about Menma's childhood experiences, and being killed was Jiraiya's destined fate.

"Kushina, let's listen to me here. Ultimately, we should respect the children's opinions more. What do you think?"

Minato spoke with a clearly indulgent tone.

Her husband's words also made Kushina fall into deep thought. Recalling her previous meeting with Naruto and Menma, Kushina slowly nodded.

"Yes, you're right, Minato. However, if Naruto continues to be stubborn, then we'll have to be a bit more forceful in resolving the issue. I don't want to see such a tragedy happen, where only one of the two brothers can survive!"

Kushina took a deep breath and spoke with a resolute expression. Even though she knew very well that her two children were indeed as stubborn as her husband said, Kushina also had her own insistence as a mother: no matter what method she used, she had to avoid fighting between her two children.

We can't just stand by and watch someone kill someone else, can we?

Moreover, based on the current situation, it is almost certain that Menma killed Naruto during the conflict.

From Kushina's perspective.

If we really can't convince Naruto...

That means forcibly taking Naruto away and imprisoning his youngest son. Once Menma has completely defeated Konoha, all problems will be solved. Naruto can't possibly hold a grudge against his own brother because of the past, right?

Not to mention in this kind of matter.

The one with the pockmarked face is actually the one who is 'in the right'.

"Yes, I know, Kushina. Don't worry, if it really comes to a desperate situation, I will definitely take appropriate coercive measures. But until then, please listen to me, okay?"

Minato said softly.

"Ok!"

"Then, I'll go to Mount Myoboku first. You wait for me here for a while."

Minato smiled gently.

Minato then immediately formed hand seals.

"The art of spirit communication."

He suddenly slapped down.

A mysterious, pitch-black rune array spread rapidly.

next second.

"puff!"

Compared to the thick smoke that spread out.

A large, brown toad, about 40-50 centimeters long, appeared on the spot. Upon seeing Minato and Kushina, the toad's eyes widened even further, and it shouted with utter shock, "Eh!? Did you summon me!? Minato? But weren't you already dead? Huh? Is this the Impure World Reincarnation technique developed by the Second Hokage!?"

The shock was only at the beginning; just a second later, the brown toad came to its senses.

After all, Minato and Kushina didn't look like normal people at the moment. The cracks on their faces and their dark pupils showed that, as a toad from Mount Myōboku, one of the three holy lands, they could clearly know some of Konoha's secret forbidden techniques.

"Yes, Kenta, he was summoned back for some special reason. I heard Naruto is at Mount Myōboku now, is that right?"

Minato smiled and nodded, then asked another question.

"Oh? You mean Naruto? That's right. He came to Mount Myōboku a few days ago. It seems that the Great Sage summoned him, and he stayed on Mount Myōboku to train afterward."

Kenta nodded in reply.

"Then I'll trouble you, Kenta, to go back and use Reverse Summoning to summon me to Mount Myōboku. I need to see Naruto."

"Okay, no problem. Wait a moment, Minato."

Kenta nodded emphatically. As the third-generation toad of Mount Myōboku, although he had not yet fully mastered the Sage Arts passed down from Mount Myōboku, he had learned most of the other abilities. Reverse communication with his clan's contracted individuals was no problem at all.

He finished speaking.

"puff!"

Kenta the toad then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared, returning to Mount Myōboku.

Then.

In less than a few seconds.

"puff!"

With a sudden thought, Yu Shuimen...

"I'll be right back, Kushina."

The moment Minato uttered those words, a cloud of white mist appeared out of thin air where he was standing, and then Minato's figure vanished.

Different spatial passages traversed in an instant.

In less than a second.

Until the moment Minato opened his eyes again.
