The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The fate of this planet can only be to become nutrients for planting the divine tree.

All living things will turn to ashes.

"Of course, Ancestor Yuyi, you may think that these enemies from the other side of the distant starry sea may not appear. But if they do appear, we will need to gather all our strength to have any chance of fighting them, won't we? A world that is scattered and constantly fighting among itself cannot truly develop. There are many reasons why any species can be destroyed, but among them, infighting is definitely the primary reason. This world can no longer withstand any more destruction. A unified order is the correct and only way out!"

Chapter 580 The Right Path

"Therefore, the world no longer needs the chaotic situation it once was. Your failure, the issues between Ashura and Indra, and the failures of the previous Ashura and Indra chakra reincarnations—that is, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha—have all proven that it is impossible to end all conflicts simply through human consciousness and so-called mutual understanding. When Hashirama Senju was distributing the nine tailed beasts to the five great ninja villages, he even disregarded his dignity at the Five Kage Summit, bowing his head and kneeling with utmost sincerity in hoping for peace in the ninja world. But what happened in the end? This laughable peace only lasted for a decade or two. After Hashirama Senju died, war broke out again. This has proven time and again that this is a failed path. What makes you think that you can bring peace to the world through gentle means?"

Menma paused slightly, clearly referring not only to Hagoromo but also to Naruto.

It was almost the exact moment Menma finished speaking.

The feathered robe at the head of the table.

Naruto, who was standing to the left of Menma, also had a slight change in expression.

"Freedom is certainly necessary, but unlimited freedom is nothing short of criminal indulgence. Humans are the kind of creatures that most need to be controlled. Any ordinary parent knows that educating children requires both loving attention and timely discipline. Don't tell me that you, Ancestor Yu Yi, don't even understand such a principle. Therefore, the path of failure should be completely abandoned, and a correct path should be chosen."

Mianma said firmly.

The more Menma elaborated on his points, the more silent Hagoromo became. It wasn't that Hagoromo was completely convinced by Menma; after all, the Sage of Six Paths, who had defied his mother and founded the Ninja Clan, and was hailed as a legendary figure in the ninja world, was not easily persuaded. However, what Menma said did indeed touch Hagoromo's heart.

This made the Sage of Six Paths reflect on his past life.

The Ninja Sect was established.

There's also the upbringing of the two children.

It seems I really did make an unforgivable mistake. If I had been more rational and clear-headed back then, perhaps some mistakes could have been avoided. At least the brothers Indra and Asura wouldn't have been trapped in an endless cycle of conflict for thousands of years.

These are all shortcomings of me as a father.

Is it the wrong path?

A complex expression also appeared in Hagoromo's Rinnegan eyes. Even now, he still felt that Menma's approach was too radical and too bloody. The world is so big that there are indeed some unreasonable people and some people who cannot be reasoned with. But even so, Hagoromo still believed that most people could be influenced. However, he also acknowledged and accepted part of Menma's statement, which was that the path he had previously believed in was indeed a path that had proven to be a failure.

For the sake of world peace and the future of the world, we must indeed choose a different path.

“I understand what you mean, Mianma. You don’t need to be so wary of me. I never intended to stand against you. As you said, if one path is blocked, then you can’t continue down that path. Choosing a new path is the right way. I only hope that you can always maintain your true self on this path. Peace is what everyone longs for, but it is not so easy to achieve.”

Yu Yi sighed softly.

Not being able to stop it is one thing, but being unable to stop it is another. After all, Menma in his current state is no longer someone that Hagoromo in his soul form can deal with, not to mention the presence of Toneri.

Moreover.

While Hagoromo certainly values ​​the development of the world, in his heart, the most important thing is the breaking of his mother's seal and the emergence of the Otsutsuki clan from the other side of the distant starry sky.

Not to mention that the path Menma has chosen seems quite reliable, even if there are significant problems, as long as it doesn't reach the point of world destruction, Hagoromo might not really care.

He now only has soul power left. Without a physical body, some of his powers, once depleted, can never be replenished.

Otherwise, why would Yu Yi need to remain in a dormant state in the Pure Land for such a long time? Isn't it to preserve her soul power so that she can help future generations deal with her mother, who might break free of her seal, at some point in the future?

Hagoromo was ultimately not a complete Otsutsuki.

Even if he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he cannot escape the constraints of human lifespan. In essence, he is no different from Menma and Toneri in terms of life level, except that he has a stronger level of power.

"Please don't worry about that, Ancestor Yuyi. I am not a simple-minded person. All my decisions follow the laws of nature and are based on objective facts. I will not do anything against reality or the will of the people in a moment of impulse. As I said before, Ancestor Yuyi, no matter how beautifully you speak, it has no meaning or effect. In the end, it all depends on how you do it. Twenty years, just twenty years, and I will definitely make the world a new place."

Menma spoke with a very firm tone and great confidence.

Compared to the living conditions and environment of the country he lived in in his previous life, Menma would naturally not dare to make any boasts now. However, compared to the original state of this world, Menma is indeed very confident that he can bring about a qualitative change to the entire world and enable all people to live a better life.

Everything still needs to be considered from a point of reference.

If you ask me to jump from 60 points to 100 points, I definitely can't do that now. But I can absolutely guarantee that I can get from 10 or 20 points to the passing grade of 60 points.

He's not relying on himself alone.

He still has many companions assisting him. If he can't even do that, Menma might as well go wash up and go to sleep.

However, after Menma finished speaking...

Naruto, standing to the side, still wore a slightly strange expression. He had a feeling that his brother was indirectly criticizing him, without mentioning his name in any of his words, yet every word seemed to be directed at him.

Naruto felt incredibly uncomfortable, yet he couldn't refute Menma's claims—they simply hadn't mentioned his name at all.

All she could do at that moment was to glance at her brother with a resentful expression.

Menma remained calm and composed. Half of what he said was actually directed at Naruto. People should have dreams and their own principles, but they must also see reality clearly. Not doing things recklessly is not a sign of perseverance. Many times, that is called stubbornness, obstinacy, or the foolishness of hitting a wall and refusing to turn back.

Even if you remain steadfast, you still need to consider the circumstances, the occasion, and the timing.

It's not something you can just come up with casually.

Especially since it involves the options of most people.

It's even less likely that we'd do it based on assumptions.

That's the case with Naruto in the original work. It's not that he became ridiculous later on, but everything he did didn't fundamentally change the world. What's the point of following Hashirama's old path?

Aside from being much younger than Hashirama when he subdued the entire ninja world, which might allow him to maintain peace for a longer period, Naruto's path will remain the same. From the moment the two top ninjas, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, pass away, the ninja world will once again fall into the same cycle.

Are we really going to make future generations do it all over again? A third time? A fourth time? Or even countless times?!

With such repeated pulling and tugging, the number of deaths would probably be countless times greater!

It appears to be peaceful.

In reality, it was an even more brutal and bloody war.

Menma hopes that Naruto can figure this out on his own, rather than forcibly suppressing him.

There is a fundamental difference here.

He's still my younger brother after all.

So be it, I'll be dramatic.

Menma really didn't want to one day have to really hurt Naruto. After all, the kid didn't seem to be the kind of person who was very bright. Hagoromo and Hamura could be fooled by a toad into attacking their mother, and Ashura could also turn against his brother Indra.

Don't talk about the reasons, don't look at external objective factors, and don't talk about empty, grandiose questions of right and wrong, or questions of justice.

This is a simple example based on reality.

You must be wary of those who are prone to making mistakes.

Naruto is still young.

At 15 years old, it's far from enough to say that his values ​​are fully formed. Even Menma would have to force Naruto's values ​​to be corrected.

"No matter how eloquently you speak, it's not as good as seeing how you do it, right? Hehe, Mianma, you're really different. Maybe you really will be the right one."

Hagoromo looked directly into Menma's eyes. Without needing to say much, Hagoromo could clearly see the determination in Menma's eyes.

It was at this very moment.

Yu Yi decided to let go completely.

When he founded the Ninja Clan a thousand years ago, he could choose to believe in the general public and his young son Ashura. Why can't he choose to believe in Menma today, a thousand years later?

At least this child seems so intelligent, so determined, and so full of his own ideas.

The question of right and wrong.

It's not so easy to distinguish and judge.

Especially when it comes to such a broad issue as peace, what matters is the steps that those in charge choose to take.

“I will prove that I am the one who is right, Ancestor Hagoromo.”

Mianma also spoke without hesitation.

Putting aside the question of whether he could or not, even if he really had that kind of strength, Hagoromo was actually not very willing to fight against Masaru.

What the old man has persisted in for thousands of years has never changed.

Mianma also had similar ideas.

After all, that was his direct ancestor in this life, not to mention that he could maintain his immortal soul and clear consciousness in the Pure Land. Who could really be sure that this Sage of Six Paths didn't have any special trump cards?

This was a completely meaningless and worthless clash.

Naturally, people want to avoid facial acne as much as possible.

With that energy and chakra, it would be better to save it to deal with Isshiki. This one is the true head of the Otsutsuki clan, a terrifying guy that even Kaguya couldn't kill when she ambushed him.

After dealing with a series of slightly important matters at hand, Menma will now devote himself entirely to the plan of capturing this member of the Otsutsuki main family. There is an extremely dangerous giant pest in his backyard that is capable of devouring the entire house.

We definitely need to eliminate them as soon as possible.

"Ah."

Seeing Mianma's calm and confident demeanor.

A faint smile appeared on Yu Yi's face, and she nodded gently.

A complex look also appeared in the frog-like eyes of the young man sitting to the side.

It is both dangerous and trustworthy.

Many things cannot be simply defined by a single standard, just like Kaguya's status on this planet.

A crisis is a crisis, but it also brings with it extraordinary opportunities.

I guess everything was destined.

Gamamaru sighed softly to himself, and at that moment, he made a decision in his heart.

Let's yield to the demands of reality.

Since Mount Myōboku had decided to get involved in the vortex of the ninja world, they were prepared to bear the consequences. All of this was their own doing.

"However, from a personal standpoint, and this is merely a private request of mine, Menma, could you perhaps be a little more lenient towards Mount Myōboku? Gamamaru is also an old friend of mine, someone I've known for a thousand years. I can vouch for Gamamaru; he is absolutely not the kind of person who would spread rumors for personal gain. Perhaps there are some misunderstandings involved. I hope you can understand, Menma."

Yu Yi looked at Menma with a sincere expression and said.

Forcing it is absolutely impossible.

Regardless of whether Hagoromo has the ability, even if he does, Menma is clearly the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. And things aren't at a point where they're completely unsolvable yet. Menma is also clearly not here to destroy Mount Myōboku.

Generally speaking, the idea is to put a tight band around Mount Myōboku. Hagoromo thinks this is somewhat understandable, but he hopes that the tight band won't be too severe, so that Mount Myōboku can at least breathe a little more.
