The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Menma smiled at Minato and said firmly.

The powerful and unique aura emanating from him.

This made Minato shake his head with a touch of self-mockery.

It seems I was worrying unnecessarily.

My own child has long since grown up.

"It seems I was indeed overthinking it."

Minato smiled gently again and nodded slightly.

Shikaku, who was on the left, had also regained his previous calm expression. He saw Toneri's eyes and realized that Menma had clearly given them this information on purpose.

Shikaku was then able to understand what "Menma" meant.

This also makes it clearer how determined Menma is to win the upcoming battle.

"No, I still want to thank Dad and Shikaku-san for the reminder. In the upcoming battle, Shikaku-san and I will only be responsible for the main ones. Shikaku-san will have to take care of the rest. The more people we can persuade, the less blood will be shed."

Mianma said with a light laugh.

The main purpose of taking Shikaku to the front line was to persuade the ninja clans of Konoha to surrender under pressure.

From the intelligence system of their own ninja village.

It's easy to find out that the ninja clans in Konoha Village are all taking action.

"Yes, Lord Tenkage."

Shikaku straightened his body and replied with a serious expression.

"Dad, please take care of things in the village, especially Naruto. Sasuke, you should stay in the village and rest for a while. I will then instruct Karin to prepare for your surgery. Remember, we still have a long way to go."

Menma paused slightly, then looked at Minato and Sasuke before speaking.

"Ok!"

"I know, it's called 'mianma'."

The responses that followed one after another.

After smiling and nodding, Mianma nodded.

"Then let's set off!"

next second.

"Whoosh!"

With a swift movement, Mianma sped off towards the due east direction.

Toneri and Shikaku immediately unleashed their chakra from the soles of their feet, following closely behind the numb figure above.

Sasuke watched Menma's departing figure, his hands unconsciously clenching tightly. Three years ago, he had already fallen behind Menma's pace. Three years later, he thought the gap had narrowed, but he didn't expect it to widen even further.

This was truly a difficult thing for the proud Sasuke to accept.

"Let's go, Sasuke-kun, Itachi-kun, let's go back to the village first."

The water gate in the back also greeted the two of them.

Then.

The three of them also leaped into the air and flew into the inner part of Hidden Light Village.

The massive army marching off in a grand procession drew the attention of ninja villages from all over the world near the once world-famous Valley of the End.

Everyone, even ordinary people, knew very well that a war that would determine the future of the world was about to break out here.

It can be said that in such a vast world...

Apart from the First Hokage, who genuinely believed in resolving all disputes through peaceful negotiations, mutual understanding, and reaching a consensus, everyone else knew that this final battle was unavoidable.

No normal person would give up the power they have gained.

In particular, the First Ame-kage of Hidden Light Village displayed unparalleled dominance, despite being a boy who was nearly fifteen years old.

How could we possibly give up so easily!?

Therefore, the various ninja villages, as well as the high-ranking nobles and politicians at the national level, all placed their hopes for defeating Uzumaki Menma on Senju Hashirama. They did not want the current ninja world order to be broken, as that would inevitably affect their status and interests, a situation that none of them wanted to see.

A fateful war that determined the course of the world.

More than sixty years ago, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were here.

More than sixty years later.

Still here.

The Valley of the End, where stone statues of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha stand!

Everything will come to an end here!!

At this moment.

In this place that holds special significance.

Three figures had already appeared ahead of time on a high mountain peak to the south, a place from which one could overlook the Valley of the End.

These three were none other than Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and Black Zetsu.

Upon learning that both Uzumaki Menma and Senju Hashirama were acting independently, Madara took Obito and Black Zetsu and arrived there first.

This is an excellent spectator seat.

With Madara's pride, or rather arrogance, he naturally disdained to resort to sneak attacks. He simply wanted to see here whether Uzumaki Menma was truly worthy of his attention or was merely overrated.

Anyway, Madara will only attack the winner.

As for whether or not one's identity and whereabouts will be exposed.

Ban doesn't care at all.

It would be best if the other side didn't notice, but it doesn't matter if they did.

Even if Menma Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju joined forces, Madara Uchiha would not be afraid. In fact, if that were to happen, Madara would only look down on Menma. In Madara's eyes, Menma was just a clown, someone who needed to join forces with others and was an enemy he was determined to destroy.

Obito had almost the same mindset.

Beneath Black Zetsu's seemingly calm and composed exterior, he was inwardly cursing. Madara insisted on stirring up trouble when everything could have been done in the safest way.

Although Black Zetsu was well aware that Sasuke, with Toneri by his side, would not be so easy to eliminate, and that dragging it out until Menma arrived could lead to even greater trouble, Black Zetsu believed that all of this could have been prevented from happening in the first place.

As long as Itachi Uchiha is not allowed to meet with Sasuke Uchiha, wouldn't that be fine?

Want to leave?

Not to mention that Madara Uchiha personally took action.

With Obito and the massive White Zetsu army present, Itachi Uchiha, who was almost exhausted of his eye power, was not a particularly troublesome opponent.

Now it's all good!

They had to get their own information completely exposed.

What was once a possibility of a sneak attack has become completely impossible.

They also had to risk that Uzumaki Menma might join forces with Senju Hashirama and others to deal with Uchiha Madara first.

Although I've been angry more than once at Ban's incompetence.

But at this moment.

Black Zetsu still felt a tightness in his chest.

Why couldn't the Indras of all generations have used a little more brainpower?!

He's really just like Asura, belonging to the kind of "don't laugh at the second brother" level.

These two brothers.

They're all complete idiots.

Looking at Uchiha Madara, who stood at the very front, gazing at the two stone statues in the distance as if lost in memories.

Black Zetsu's heart was filled with exhaustion and anger.

Making simple things complicated.

This is Indra, this is the superior gene of the Uchiha clan.

But the anger was only fleeting.

After all, it was something I chose myself.

A thousand years ago, didn't he himself choose Indra because he had half the blood of the Feathered Robe and was simple-minded?

If only Izuna Uchiha and Tobirama Senju had such brains.

Black Zetsu still dares to come out and deceive people?

You'll be seen through in a heartbeat, okay?!

This is absolutely not a joke.

In fact, Black Zetsu's behind-the-scenes methods were not clever at all. His advantage lay in the lack of intelligence, which completely concealed his identity, and the fact that Madara Uchiha was truly single-minded.

He himself could set up all sorts of traps to manipulate Nagato and Obito behind the scenes, gradually leading them down the path of darkness.

Why don't you consider the possibility that you might be being scammed?

Can you really believe everything you read on the stone tablet just by glancing at it? Putting aside the possibility that it might have been forged, even if it really was a perfect replica left by the Sage of Six Paths for the descendants of the Uchiha clan.

Couldn't it be that the Sage of Six Paths was just trying to fool future generations?

Was that Sage of Six Paths truly a being who loved all things?

If Tobirama or Izuna were to see the contents of the stone tablet, and considering that Madara Uchiha was trying to deceive Nagato and Obito for his own resurrection and to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, then...

Believe it or not, their first reaction would definitely be that there's a conspiracy involved, and they might even suspect that it's a mechanism left behind by the Sage of Six Paths to revive himself.

After all, Izuna and Tobirama were unaware of Kaguya Otsutsuki's situation.

The only legendary figure from a thousand years ago that can be directly touched through the stone slab is the Sage of Six Paths.

Given the nature of these two.
