The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The presence of pockmarks on the surface.

All of this is an inexplicable time paradox.

The only thing Menma can understand right now is that the reason he is here instead of returning to the ancient Loulan Kingdom many years ago like Naruto in the original story is probably because his activation method is different, and it is also related to the 'Namikaze Minato' who is standing in front of him at this moment.

Menma's whispered words were difficult for ordinary people to hear, but among those present, even the weakest, Hozuki Suigetsu, possessed power close to that of an elite Jonin. Menma's whispered words were as if they were spoken right in their ears.

"Young man, who are you? How did you suddenly appear here? And if I'm not mistaken, you possess the chakra of the Nine-Tails, no, it should be the chakra of all nine tailed beasts on you!?"

Standing to Menma's right, a man clad in deep red armor with long, flowing black hair looked at Menma with a mixture of curiosity and wariness and asked.

This man.

It was none other than the famous First Hokage—Hashirama Senju.

Just as Menma was initially confused about his own presence, a few seconds earlier, when Sasuke Uchiha had just asked his question and Hashirama Senju was about to answer...

Suddenly, a purple halo flashed from the spot where Mianma was standing, before they could react.

The pockmarked figure appeared out of thin air.

Even Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze, the only two space-time ninjutsu masters in Konoha, couldn't understand what had just happened. They hadn't even sensed the slightest spatial fluctuation.

"Hehe, you are not mistaken, Lord Hashirama. I do indeed possess the chakra of all nine tailed beasts. To be more precise, I was once the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, and later I gradually collected the chakra of the other eight tailed beasts."

They come, the security.

Menma believed that since she had come to this time and space, she must have a way to return to her own time and space.

No matter what kind of 'channel' it is.

He can't possibly be on a one-way street; even if he's desperate, he'll always find a way back.

Now that we have come to such a special 'space-time'.

Mianma felt that she could try some other things.

"Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!?"

"impossible!"

"what!?"

"!?"

Mianma had just finished speaking.

The sight instantly caused the expressions of the people around them to change, especially Sasuke, who looked at Menma with a very strange expression.

Who is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Doesn't Sasuke know that?

My ill-fated friend.

The one I cherish most, and the one I feel I must kill.

Some people are saying he's the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki? Isn't that a joke? But Sasuke really does feel a strong sense of incongruity the more he looks at Menma.

And those who feel the same way.

That's the Fourth Hokage—Minato Namikaze. Menma really does look somewhat like Minato. If Menma's red hair turned blonde, he would be a spitting image of a younger version of Minato.

more importantly.

Even if they are not in the same time and space.

Minato could also sense a faint sense of familiarity from Menma.

'Could it be? But!?'

No matter how many thoughts crossed Minato's mind, he still couldn't understand it. No matter what the explanation was, it lacked the most basic logic.

"Huh? Isn't that him? Then he definitely has the Nine-Tailed Fox inside him, right? I can't possibly be wrong about that, monkey."

Among those present, only the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers truly did not know who the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of their village was. The last time he was summoned using Edo Tensei, he was immediately resealed by his own disciple.

This Edo Tensei summoning has only been around for a short time.

There's no way you could know anything unnecessary.

Therefore, when Hashirama heard Menma's answer, he subconsciously nodded. Then, when he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, and others deny it, the First Hokage was completely dumbfounded.

Only Tobirama seemed to understand what had happened.

"First Hokage, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of our village is the Fourth Hokage's son, a boy named Naruto Uzumaki. He is definitely not the person before you. Could it be that you have stolen the Nine-Tails?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Menma with a very wary expression and said, word by word.

Speaking of the last sentence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, and he stared at Menma with an extremely dangerous look, asking sharply.

"It shouldn't be. I heard about Naruto from Itachi before. He should be fighting on the front lines right now. And with that guy's current strength, it's impossible for someone to take away the Nine-Tails so easily."

Sasuke, sitting on the left, frowned slightly, his cool gaze fixed on Menma, and said in a calm tone.

"So, young man, who exactly are you? And what's with the tailed beast chakra on you!?"

Even someone as simple-minded as Hashirama could clearly tell that Menma was more likely to be an enemy at this moment.

Not to mention Tobirama.

The Second Hokage was emanating blue chakra, an extremely terrifying chakra aura.

This once again startled Mizuki, who looked at the Second Hokage with a look of shock.

Such a chakra level is far beyond what ordinary ninjas can reach. Ordinary ninjas would tremble at the mere sight of Tobirama's chakra.

But in Menma's eyes, such a surge of chakra was nothing more than a minor joke.

Even if the Second Hokage in front of him, resurrected from Edo Tensei, is much stronger than the one he encountered in his own timeline.

After all, the caster was Orochimaru, whose technique was far superior to Tsunade's in terms of precision and accuracy.

But that's all there is to it.

In the eyes of a true master, there is no fundamental difference between bronze and silver.

Without the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would be a matter of one-hit kill.

Therefore, Menma remained completely unmoved by Tobirama's seemingly overwhelming aura, still wearing that faint smile.

Such a composed demeanor.

This caused everyone present, including Tobirama and Hashirama, to slightly shrink their pupils.

Just look at the little guy from the Hozuki clan next to Tobirama to see how powerful his aura is. Under normal circumstances, Suigetsu probably wouldn't even have the courage to attack Tobirama. This is an absolute crushing power, a gap that can't be bridged by mere courage.

But it was under such pressure that...

However, I felt no numbness at all.

'This boy is dangerous!'

At this moment.

Not just the middle of the pillars.

It should be said that similar thoughts arose in everyone's mind.

"Hehe, my wording wasn't quite right. I should say that I'm not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from this timeline, but from another timeline. Let me introduce myself. My name is Uzumaki Menma, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm the son of the Fourth Hokage. However, in that timeline, I was born slightly earlier. My younger brother, although also named Naruto, has the surname Namikaze. I hope you all understand my explanation."

And it was at this very moment.

Mianma waved his hand lightly.

That aura, clearly more powerful than Tobirama's, surged forth, directly dispersing Tobirama's oppressive aura. At the same time, a faint smile remained on his lips as he replied softly.

The oppressive aura could be instantly neutralized.

More importantly, Menma's actions were almost effortless, clearly showing a great deal of reservation.

This already caused Hashirama, Tobirama, and the others to change their expressions.

And in the next second.

The words Menma uttered caused even the most rational and composed Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, to change his expression upon hearing them. He looked at Menma with a solemn, cold, and incredulous look.

"What!? Another dimension!?"

"The Fourth Hokage's son!?"

"what!?"

"He's also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!?"

"This is!?"

"No way!? Huh!?"

At this moment, everyone's brains were overwhelmed. Even highly intelligent Hokage like Tobirama and Minato struggled to understand the meaning behind Menma's words.

I understand the literal meaning of each word, but when they are put together, I can't understand them at all, or rather, I don't want to understand them.

How could time travel possibly be possible?!

Isn't this a joke?!

But this boy doesn't seem to be lying; he's telling the absolute truth.

"Whether it's true or not, you should be able to tell. Especially the Fourth Hokage, well, you could also call him my father. You should be able to sense 'your' own chakra and my mother Kushina's chakra in me. Besides, isn't my appearance real enough?"

Menma stared directly at Minato Namikaze, whose brows had been furrowed the entire time, and said calmly.

“Indeed, I can sense Kushina’s and my own chakra. The seal inside your body before was also the Bagua seal, right?”

After a brief silence, Minato finally nodded and spoke.

Even if everything sounds so unreal, so illusory, after eliminating all other impossible answers, the one that remains, no matter how outrageous or impossible, is the only correct answer.

As Minato delivered his powerful testimonies, the expressions of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen Sarutobi became incredibly strange.

Especially Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Strangely enough, when he heard Menma's words, he was the one who could understand them immediately.

Especially the names 'Uzumaki Menma' and 'Namikaze Naruto'. If Hiruzen Sarutobi put himself in Minato's shoes, he might actually make a similar choice if Minato had left behind two children like those.
