The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The three behind him, Toneri, Naruto, and Sasuke, followed in unison.

The threshold to cross.

We strolled into the main hall.

Just a few steps later, an extremely spacious and bright lobby came into view of Mianma and the others.

In the very center of this hall, there is a giant backrest cushion, upon which sits an old toad, as large as Gamabunta, wearing a jeweled hat and with an oil-shaped jewel hanging around its neck.

Almost at the very moment Menma and the other three entered.

The orange toad slowly opened its eyes, and at that moment, its eyes met those of the toad.

Mianma could clearly sense a relatively powerful aura emanating from this toad.

It's certainly far from reaching the level of being numb.

However, he can already be considered one of the best among those at the Super Shadow level.

This giant orange toad is none other than Gamamaru, the true head of Mount Myoboku, who is hailed as the Great Sage of Mount Myoboku!

That cunning toad who once taught Hagoromo Otsutsuki how to master Sage Mode and tricked him into betraying his mother.

of course.

There is no right or wrong in this matter.

It's simply a difference in perspective.

Gamamaru is a native creature of this planet, while Kaguya is an extraterrestrial visitor, the kind of alien enemy who planted trees on this planet and almost caused its complete destruction. Given such an existence, any action Gamamaru takes is perfectly reasonable.

At least, none of the native creatures living on this planet have the right to criticize Gamamaru; they should be grateful to him. Otherwise, if Kaguya were to plant the Divine Tree on this planet again, the planet's energy would be completely absorbed, leading to a true extinction of the species and the destruction of the planet!

From this perspective...

Mianma admired the toad quite a bit, but admiration was one thing, and what Mianma had to do was another.

There is no connection between the two.

Nowadays.

Menma came here because he wanted Gamamaru to give a clear attitude on behalf of Mount Myōboku, an attitude of submission to him.

"Hehe, I have long heard of the great immortal of Mount Myōboku, especially your prophetic abilities, which are renowned far and wide. It is truly an honor for me to meet you today."

There was nothing sarcastic or strange about it.

This person is an ancient elder who has lived for thousands of years.

Even if someone is gruff, they will still show some degree of respect. In many cases, showing respect and potentially killing the other person are not contradictory at all.

"Young man with pockmarked face, you are too kind. It is I who have been negligent. After all, my body is already old and frail, and I cannot personally greet you from afar. I hope you will forgive me for this."

Gamamaru gently twitched the wrinkles on his frog-like face and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

It was as if the Menma before them was not the demon they had foretold, not the enemy who killed Fukasaku, but an old friend from Mount Myōboku.

"Hehe, it would be impolite of me to have you, the great immortal, come from afar to greet me."

Menma chuckled lightly, completely unconcerned.

That was just a polite remark.

Social jargon is just that—social niceties. Don't take it too seriously. What does it mean to be old?

Based on the powerful and robust aura emanating from this old guy, in the current ninja world, only I and Toneri dare to say that we can suppress him 100%. Even Sasuke with the Eternal Eye cannot guarantee that he can definitely take down this old toad.

They have accumulated thousands of years of experience and absorbed thousands of years of natural energy.

It has already reached a certain level of limit.

It's a terrifying height that ordinary ninjas can never reach.

He's a highly intelligent and resourceful person, so Menma wouldn't take his words seriously.

"I believe you, Great Immortal, are aware of the purpose of my visit. I wonder if you could give me a definite answer?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Mianma also got straight to the point.

His time is also very precious.

The problem with the three holy lands is similar to that of the White Zetsu before; it's both important and unimportant.

The real enemy that Menma needs to defeat.

But none of them have been dealt with yet.

Therefore, he had to deal with all of them in the shortest possible time.

Then we'll deal with the real hidden dangers lurking on this planet.

It's best not to try to stall him; Menma won't give you that chance or time.

Hearing Mianma's words.

Gamamaru also fell into a brief silence, and a faint, complex look appeared in his extremely cloudy eyes.

"Is it really necessary to go to that extent? Lord Tenkage, I can promise on behalf of Mount Myōboku that from now on, I will no longer participate in any affairs of the ninja world and will only abide by my duty. Isn't that enough?"

It seemed to be after much deliberation.

Gamamaru then slowly began to speak.

In any case, Mount Myōboku is currently in a completely disadvantaged position. If possible, Gamamaru would absolutely not want to offend Menma, as the consequences would be unbearable for Mount Myōboku.

However, it would be difficult for Gamamaru to accept that Mount Myōboku would be completely trapped in a passive and restrictive situation.

Their Mount Myoboku has a history of thousands of years.

Over the years.

Even when Mount Myoboku was threatened, it never truly compromised.

To live freely.

That is their most important bottom line.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 578 Surrender or Destruction!

However, under certain circumstances, certain bottom lines can be broken, or rather, broken passively. The reason is simple: when life is threatened, and even existence itself faces the danger of extinction, talking about freedom seems particularly ridiculous and foolish!

And now.

It is the blatant threat that Menma poses to Mount Myoboku.

"Duty? That's what you call duty—something you maintain from beginning to end. Anything you change halfway through isn't duty. Lord Gamamaru, shall I remind you what Mount Myōboku did in the past? Prophecies? Prophecies for the entire ninja world? Your abilities are truly remarkable. I'm genuinely curious, did you say the same thing to your ancestor Hagoromo a thousand years ago? However, I'm truly sorry, but I'm not an idealist. I'm a very practical person, only seeing what's in front of me, and only believing in what I hold dear. Mount Myōboku has only two choices; there can be no third answer: submission or destruction. Lord Gamamaru, make your own choice."

Menma stared at Gamamaru with an indifferent expression and spoke in a cold tone.

It was a very direct ultimatum.

Even Gamamaru, who was in the head seat, showed a helpless expression. If he had to say, the prophecy was not random. As a creature that had survived for thousands of years and was one of the most adaptable to and capable of using natural energy on this planet, Gamamaru did indeed have a certain degree of ability to foresee the future. However, this was not an accurate prediction of the future, but rather the ability to see a certain possibility unfold.

to be honest.

It's just like a form of divination.

Otherwise.

Mount Myoboku has long been the number one, or rather, the only sacred site. What need is there for Shikkotsu Forest or Ryuchi Cave?

When Menma finished speaking, both Toneri and Sasuke couldn't help but glance at him again.

what?

This involves the Feather Robe Ancestor?

Could it be that this toad really has some close connection with the Feather Robe Ancestor?

Naruto's focus remained on Menma's last words.

Submission or destruction.

Isn't this the most straightforward way of speaking?

Naruto felt a sudden urge to say something.

Menma waved his right hand, directly stopping Naruto from speaking.

"Naruto, this is none of your business. The choice is up to that great sage. What you say is useless."

This statement further demonstrates Mianma's attitude.

He came here today.

It is impossible for them to compromise or be persuaded.

Mount Myōboku can only choose one of the options given to him.

"As expected, you really do know about things from a thousand years ago, you freckled boy. Your past and your future are filled with a bloody chaos."

Gamamaru sighed softly, a complex expression appearing in his frog eyes.

They say there are two options, but in reality, they only get one from Mount Myōboku.

Actually, it all started the moment Menma arrived.

Gamamaru had already come to a realization.

We can't really lead Mount Myōboku to destruction, can we?

Before actually making that choice, Gamamaru still wanted to try his best. He really couldn't see through Menma. He was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, yet he was full of mysteries.

If Menma were a reincarnation of the chakra of Ashura or Indra, it would be easy to explain, but Menma is not.

At such close range.

Gamamaru can accurately sense the special chakra existing inside Sasuke and Naruto's bodies.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't certain before.

Judging solely from Menma's personality, and the fact that he and Naruto are twin brothers, Gamamaru initially thought Menma was the Indra of this generation, because they really do look too similar in some ways.
