The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked incredulous.

The master and disciple had faced perilous situations when confronting that white-eyed youth, nearly being annihilated several times. They never expected that the First Generation Master would be completely helpless against the one with the white eyes.

The battle just now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly couldn't pay as much attention as his mentor.

But there were some glimpses of battle scenes in the gaps.

That was enough to make Hiruzen Sarutobi tremble with fear.

This is a fight on a completely different level.

It was like a strong, grown man bullying a weak infant.

Hiruzen Sarutobi simply couldn't understand why Menma, who was only fifteen years old, could possess such immense power!

Nine-Tails?

That's impossible!

But whatever the reason, it no longer matters; they have already lost this battle.

From the start of the war until now.

It only took ten or twenty minutes.

This is undeniably an incredibly ironic situation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had thought they at least had a chance of being evenly matched, but now it all seemed like a dream, so unreal, so surreal.

Even if you don't understand, you still have to accept reality.

Even their village's strongest ninja, the First Hokage, couldn't defeat Menma, and now he's willingly accepted defeat. What else is there to say?

Surrender.

Everything will come to a final end here.

Normally, an impure body wouldn't be able to experience any extra emotional fluctuations, but at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly felt the bitterness and heaviness in his heart, all of which was his responsibility.

Because of my own stupidity.

Because of my own weakness.

That's what led to the current situation.

I am the greatest sinner of Konoha.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was completely consumed by regret.

Menma was clearly a key figure who could have led Konoha back to its peak, yet he personally sent him to the opposite side of the village.

The death of his own child.

The destruction of Konohagakure.

It's all their own fault.

"Tobirama, Monkey, go to Tsunade and announce our unconditional surrender. The war has no meaning anymore."

Hashirama patted Tobirama on the shoulder and said softly.

“I understand, Aniga.”

Tobirama nodded silently.

Since they can't win anyway, they might as well surrender. Do they really have to wait until the other side wipes out everyone in their ninja village?

Tobirama has always been the most pragmatic one.

Knowing that it's impossible, he definitely won't force it.

Pragmatism has always been Tobirama's greatest characteristic.

He finished speaking.

Tobirama glanced at Menma, who was still standing not far away, seemingly giving instructions to Toneri, with a complicated expression.

"whoosh"

With a single leap, he took Hiruzen Sarutobi with him and left the spot.

It started very aggressively.

It ended very suddenly.

This should be a perfectly normal development. Menma and Toneri are already strong enough to overwhelm the enemy. If they are to be dragged out indefinitely by the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers, then there would be a huge problem.

And it was almost at the moment when the battle was coming to an end.

On a high mountain peak, far from the Valley of the End.

Madara Uchiha, who had been observing the battle from beginning to end, had an expression that was as cold and stern as could be.

From the very beginning.

Madara Uchiha knew that his best friend was no match for Menma, but he never expected that the battle would be such a complete and utter defeat.

The Ming Shenmen Technique and the True Thousand Hands Technique, which had once given him a huge headache and were difficult to deal with, were almost completely crushed by Mianma as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

The special Tailed Beast Ball released by the Nine-Tails.

Even Madara Uchiha now feels a sense of dread.

That's power that has already surpassed the ordinary level.

For the first time, Madara Uchiha genuinely doubted whether he could defeat Menma Uzumaki.

And the moment he himself realized that he had inadvertently begun to doubt himself.

Madara Uchiha's expression turned incredibly ugly.

It's important to understand that over the past century...

Even when he was about to die and temporarily entered the Pure Land to wait, Madara firmly believed that he was the one who was right, the one who was carrying the great cause, and the one who would definitely succeed.

That realized dream world of the Moon's Eye.

It will eventually be realized in his hands.

however.

just now!

I've actually started to doubt myself!

But he couldn't help but have doubts.

Because the strength Menma displayed was truly too great, so great that even Madara Uchiha couldn't comprehend it.

Not to mention that there is also Toneri, who possesses a special eye technique (Black Zetsu would not tell Madara about the Tenseigan, because he is the embodiment of Madara's will and cannot know more about ancient secrets than Madara).

After comprehensive consideration.

Ban realized that it was truly impossible for him to get rid of the numbness and the person he was willing to give up, no matter what he did.

Chapter 541 The Final Encounter

Madara Uchiha was indeed the epitome of arrogance.

But he was just arrogant, not blind to the situation. Just as he never thought he was inferior to Hashirama Senju, even though he lost twice, the difference was only a hair's breadth. The two of them had to fight to the point of exhaustion before a winner could be decided.

Madara Uchiha had reason to be arrogant.

But now?

No matter how arrogant Madara Uchiha was, he would never say that he could defeat Menma. This is an obvious fact, and Madara Uchiha could not deceive himself.

Are we really going to give up here?

A look of deep conflict and hesitation appeared in Madara Uchiha's eyes.

His pride wouldn't allow him to do that.

But his reason kept telling him that retreating from here and making a long-term plan was the right choice.

'Swirl-shaped face numbness!!'

Madara Uchiha's hands clenched unconsciously.

They stood still in place.

After a long period of deep thought.

Madara Uchiha exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes regaining their previous calm as he slowly released his hands.

This ninja demon had already made up his mind.

We have to abandon this operation.

Project Eye of the Moon.

He has been preparing for this for decades.

There's no reason for me to choose to give up.

This isn't a question of whether or not we have the determination, but rather a question of how to rationally assess the situation, assuming there's a possibility of success.

Even if it means taking endless risks.

Madara Uchiha will not back down.

Even if the success rate is only a pitiful ten percent or less, Madara Uchiha will not back down. Fighting to the very last moment is the style of this Asura.

But as it stands now, it's only a tiny theoretical possibility.

Then he would have to assess the situation carefully.

The Eye of the Moon Plan must be realized; that is the true plan for peace. Madara Uchiha scoffs at any other means of achieving peace.

Unify the ninja world?

This wasn't Mianma's original idea.
