The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Even if the plot develops differently.

Menma felt that the probability of this filial son intervening was not low, and it was even possible that Madara might come.

Menma himself is ready to go to the rescue at any time.

We can put Hashirama Senju aside for now; Konoha is such a big place, he couldn't possibly escape. On the contrary, Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and Obito might only have one chance to take them down with a direct assault.

Black Zetsu is the key figure here.

They certainly don't have much strength.

But it has this tenacity and the ability to lurk.

Menma had no intention of playing hide-and-seek with this guy for the next few decades. There was already a big boss lurking in the ninja world, and Menma had absolutely no interest in creating another big problem for himself.

They might pretend not to know and refrain from taking action for the time being.

Once you make a move, it must be swift and decisive, a single strike guaranteed to kill.

We need to wipe out Madara, Obito, and Black Zetsu all at once.

"It was a bit troublesome at first, but the other side didn't make a move. I don't know what their reasoning was."

Sheren gently shook his head and said.

"It seems they still have their own plans. But it doesn't matter. As long as the other side wants to continue reviving that thing, they have to take action. We can just wait."

Although it was somewhat passive.

But it doesn't matter.

If you're so capable, then never have to come out. Mianma can develop slowly. He's only fifteen years old. His abilities and level still have room for further exploration and improvement.

The same applies to Toneri and Sasuke.

To put it bluntly, things are completely different now than before. Time is on Menma's side now.

"Yes, that's true."

Sheren nodded slightly.

"Sasuke, did you get the answer you wanted?"

Menma looked at Sasuke, who was sitting to the side with a distinctly cold expression, and asked softly.

"That's it."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly in reply.

"So, have you decided how you intend to deal with Itachi?"

Menma glanced at Itachi, who was being carried on Sasuke's shoulder, and asked with interest.

In the original work, Itachi died by suicide.

Sasuke did not defeat his older brother.

Later, he learned the truth about the annihilation of his clan, which led Sasuke to place all the blame on Konoha. This may have been unconscious, or it may have been a deliberate choice to overlook Itachi's responsibility.

In any case, the dead should be respected.

Everyone is dead.

What else is there to fuss about?

But this life is clearly different.

Itachi is still alive, Sasuke went to answer the questions with the 'answer', and most importantly, there is also some 'brainwashing influence' from Menma.

Therefore, how to deal with Itachi Uchiha, who can be described as 'utterly heinous', is definitely the most difficult problem for Sasuke to face.

Anyone could see that Sasuke would never kill Itachi after learning the truth.

While Sasuke's brother complex isn't as extreme as Itachi's brother complex, it's still beyond what can be measured by ordinary standards.

When Shikaku heard Menma's words, he subconsciously glanced at the figure on Sasuke's shoulder.

At first, he really didn't expect that the person Sasuke carried back would actually be that S-rank rogue ninja—Uchiha Itachi.

Of course, given Shikaku's previous status and intelligence in Konoha, this was understandable.

They could at least learn and guess some of the truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, and naturally knew that Itachi Uchiha's identity was definitely not that simple.

"Me? This..."

Sasuke, on the other hand, clearly got stuck again.

"Killing him would be the simplest and most brutal way, but you still can't bring yourself to do it, right, Sasuke?"

Mianma narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully.

This made Sasuke's expression even more complicated.

"I..."

"In that case, why don't we really consider my previous suggestion? After all, if you want to revitalize the Uchiha clan, this is an essential process."

Menma suddenly recalled a conversation he had with Sasuke, and said in a tone that was half serious and half teasing.

"Huh? That one?"

Sasuke was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized what was happening, and his expression became very complex and subtly unnatural.

"You need to understand that for the ninja clan, people are the foundation. If we don't let Itachi do it, then you'll have to do it yourself, Sasuke. You'd better think this through."

Mianma then spoke those words.

This caused Sasuke's expression to change drastically.

For a fleeting moment.

A flicker of fear flashed deep within Sasuke's pupils.

Because of the suggestion that Mianma made earlier.

But it is truly 'horrifying' and 'harmful'!

The thought of having to do such things, without stopping, for the sake of the clan's revival sent chills down Sasuke's spine.

He shook his head vigorously in his mind, trying to drive away that terrible thought.

Sasuke had always thought Menma was joking.

However, it seems that Menma really thinks so today, and we must admit that what Menma said is indeed very reasonable.

What is the Ninja Clan?

Ninja + Clan

That's what makes them the Ninja Clan.

Mianma's proposal truly hit the nail on the head.

However, Sasuke himself would never do that.

If he himself couldn't do it, then it seemed that, really, it was only Itachi who could come? This thought naturally popped into Sasuke's mind following Menma's words.

Sasuke himself was startled.

"Do we really have to do that? It doesn't seem quite appropriate, does it?"

Sasuke's words seemed to have become somewhat 'dry'.

"I think it's quite suitable. Isn't reviving the Uchiha clan a part of your dream? That's a necessary condition. It's just a choice between two options. If you don't think it's suitable, why not go for it?"

Even Mianma's eyes started to look a little dangerous.

Sasuke himself was immediately jolted awake and quickly shook his head, saying, "Then Itachi should do it. This responsibility truly needs to be shouldered by him!"

What a joke!

Sasuke would readily agree to fight, strive, or do anything else for his clan, but there was one thing Menma mentioned that he simply could not accept.

If I really do that...

Isn't it just becoming that kind of person in that circle?

I won't do it!

Absolutely not!

The person standing to the side looked at Menma and Sasuke with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what the two meant.

Only Shikaku, after hearing just a couple of sentences, couldn't help but have a thought pop into his mind.

At first, Lu Jiu thought he was overthinking things; it was too bizarre.

But when Menma uttered the phrase "people-oriented," Shikaku was certain that his guess was correct.

Therefore, even with Shikaku's composure, he couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.

She couldn't help but glance at Itachi, who was still unconscious, her eyes revealing a look of pity or envy.

But only a second later.

Shika quickly composed himself, keeping his eyes down, his nose down, his mouth down, and his mind down, still looking like he hadn't understood anything.

Unless absolutely necessary, stay out of things that don't concern you.

This is one of the important 'ancestral precepts' passed down from generation to generation by the Nara clan.

"That's right, and then... um?"

Mianma smiled slightly, just as he was about to say something.

Itachi, who was being carried on Sasuke's shoulder, visibly moved, letting out a low groan of slight pain.

"This is where?"

The moment Itachi opened his eyes, it was because of his serious injuries and Sasuke's rough knocking him unconscious. Having just woken up, Itachi lost his usual alertness and was momentarily dazed.

"This should be considered our first meeting, Itachi-san. This is Hidden Light Village."

Mianma smiled slightly and said.

The moment Itachi heard Menma's voice, his whole body trembled, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his brain, instantly waking him up and sending a shiver down his spine.

He looked up directly at the noodles in the nearby spot.
