The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Boom!"

It easily knocked down more than ten large trees in the vicinity.

The power of a single chain was already so exaggerated. Just thinking about how his mother in this life could easily unleash more than ten Vajra chains in the original work made the bright color in Mianma's pupils even more intense.

'That's exactly how it needs to be done; only then can we completely restrain the Tailed Beasts.'

Of course, not to mention that Menma can only release one Vajra Chain at the moment, even if he could release several Vajra Chains at once, it would be impossible for him to reach Kushina's strength in an instant.

Just like the Eight Gates Formation.

Currently, the limit for Lee is only five doors. Can he be compared to Might Guy, who can easily open five doors?

Not only is there a huge gap in their own strength, but their mastery and understanding of the Eight Gates Formation is another gap altogether.

Therefore, Mianma didn't immediately think that he really had the ability to restrict everything with just this one Vajra Chain. The feeling he had just experienced was just a momentary lapse in self-confidence, and he quickly adjusted back to his original state.

After getting used to the Vajra Chains a little longer and fully sensing and mastering the rate at which chakra was consumed.

'untie!'

Facial numbness directly cancels the procedure.

Chapter 105 First Encounter with Jiraiya (Third Update)

And that was exactly the moment the spell was lifted.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over Mianma's brain, and he staggered, almost collapsing to the ground.

The step I took forward unconsciously.

The figure stopped.

Avoiding a humiliating face-plant, Menma shook his head lightly to clear his mind, then gave a wry smile: 'Today was still a bit too much...'

I looked up and saw the setting sun.

Today, not only did he spend more time cultivating than in the previous days, but he also created one or two times more shadow clones. This was because he seemed to have fully grasped the feeling of yesterday's cultivation. Menma was planning to press his advantage, but the increased chakra consumption and the resulting fatigue almost overwhelmed even Menma.

However, it is still within a controllable range.

At this critical juncture, Mianma would not allow himself to actually faint from over-cultivation.

I was originally planning to spend a little more time consolidating my skills, but it seems I should stop now.

Let's call it a day.

After taking a deep breath, Menma turned around, packed his bags, and headed back the way he came.

On the road where we were traveling at high speed.

It just so happened that I was passing by the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen.

Menma sensed two enormous chakra auras slowly approaching from a distance.

One of the chakra auras was very familiar; it belonged to Menma's younger brother, Naruto.

The other chakra aura, while not as exaggerated as Naruto's, was still a terrifying amount of chakra from the perspective of an ordinary ninja.

He far surpasses Jonin like Kakashi, Asuma, and Might Guy, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi is no match for him, while Menma is still a complete stranger to him.

'Who could be the owner of this chakra? Could it be?'

Menma looked puzzled, but only for a second before a flash of inspiration struck him and another person's name popped into his head.

'It's Jiraiya!?'

And that is, at the same time.

At that corner location.

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared in Mianma's sight.

Naruto, of course, didn't mention it.

The one standing on the left wore a headband with the character "oil" on it, a red outer jacket, and had long white hair.

Without a doubt, the person who came was Jiraiya.

The moment Menma saw the two of them.

Jiraiya and Naruto also saw Menma.

"Oh, Mianma, what a coincidence to run into you here."

Naruto immediately raised his right hand and waved it vigorously, shouting loudly at Menma with a big smile on his face.

Jiraiya was also taken aback.

Upon seeing Menma's familiar long hair and that somewhat familiar face...

A fleeting, unnatural look of guilt flashed across Jiraiya's eyes, but he quickly concealed it within a second.

"Oh? This is the number one student in your year, Naruto?"

Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, Grandpa Jiraiya, this is the Uzumaki Menma I mentioned to you before. He's the best in our class, Menma. And this one is..."

Naruto seemed quite proud, first introducing Menma to Jiraiya, and then turning to look at Menma, as if wanting to introduce Jiraiya to Menma.

"Greetings, Lord Jiraiya."

Mianma, however, took the initiative and bowed slightly, showing a hint of respect as he greeted them.

"Eh? Do you know Jiraiya, the great-grandpa? Menma?"

Naruto was startled for a moment.

"Hehe, Naruto, what are you saying? As a Konoha ninja, if you don't even recognize Lord Jiraiya, that's a disqualification. You should know that Lord Jiraiya is a hero of Konoha, a disciple of the Third Hokage, and also the master of the Fourth Hokage, who is your father."

Menma, seemingly with genuine respect, looked up at Jiraiya and spoke with a hint of 'respect'.

"Oh? That's true!"

Naruto seemed to have just realized what was happening, and nodded repeatedly.

Jiraiya, standing to the side, patted Naruto's head with a very proud expression and said, "Look at Menma, you need to learn a lot from him, Naruto. You still have a long way to go."

"I know, Grandpa Jiraiya. I already said that Menma is the best in our class. I will definitely study hard with Menma."

Naruto patted his chest and said.

"Haha, that's good. Your name is Mianma, right? You have a good eye, young man. Very good. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? How about we go together?"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a smile, then turned to Menma and said the second half of his sentence with a cheerful expression.

"It is my honor to receive an invitation from Jiraiya-sama."

Mianma still spoke with a respectful expression.

"Haha, what's there to be honored about? It's just a casual meal. You don't need to be so reserved. Since you and Naruto are teammates, you can call me Grandpa Jiraiya. There's no need to call me 'Master' or anything like that. It sounds too formal."

Jiraiya smiled and waved his hand.

"No, that would be too rude."

Mianma, still maintaining his polite demeanor, quickly replied.

This is exactly how an ordinary Konoha ninja would react to Jiraiya.

But I just don't know why.

at that moment.

Jiraiya had a feeling that the child in front of him was intentionally trying to distance himself from him.

But it only lasted a second.

Jiraiya shook his head, dispelling the absurd thought.

The person in front of me, Menma, seemed so polite and respectful. How could she possibly have such thoughts?

Isn't this just a 12-year-old child?

"Hey, don't worry about the details, let's go."

Jiraiya stepped forward and placed a hand directly on Menma's shoulder, looking very familiar with him.

"That's right, that's right, there's no need to be polite with Grandpa Jiraiya, Menma, he's a rich man."

Naruto, standing to the side, also said with a grin.

"Yes."

Mianma replied with a light laugh.

The group headed towards the location of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Boss, I'd like a large bowl of char siu ramen."

As soon as he stepped inside, Naruto couldn't wait to shout loudly.

"Oh, it's Naruto. Ayame, a large bowl of chashu ramen."

The owner of Ichiraku Ramen smiled broadly when he saw Naruto and shouted loudly to his daughter who was busy behind him.

The next second, the boss also saw Jiraiya standing to the side and instantly showed a look of excitement, saying, "Ah, it's Lord Jiraiya!"

He quickly bowed and greeted them.

"Don't be so polite, boss. Naruto and I are the same, one bowl of char siu ramen, please. Menma, what would you like to eat?"

Jiraiya smiled and waved his hand, then turned to Menma and said.

"I'll have a bowl of char siu noodles too."

Mianma said softly.
