Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

The figure of Akimichi Choza suddenly appeared, and the speed was much faster than before, and the powerful chakra fluctuations that burst out at this moment were powerful.

He has already surpassed the limit of being a jonin.

These are at least the quasi-shadow level of power displayed.

It was simply because he saw Menma trying to kill Naruto that Choza quickly swallowed his clan's secret medicine.

The chakra fluctuations are further strengthened.

At the moment of attacking close.

Menma's eyes narrowed.

"Peng!"

He parried with both hands and forcefully blocked Ding Zuo's attack, but this time the explosive force was far greater than the previous one, and the violent vibration he felt.

Menma's expression changed involuntarily, his blood and energy churned, and his body was forcibly blasted away.

In an airborne situation.

Force yourself to adjust your posture and slow down your breathing.

It slowly landed at a slightly farther location.

"Ahem..."

"Naruto, are you okay?"

Just as Naruto stood up again in a very embarrassed manner.

Ding Zuo also leapt to the near point position.

Looking at Naruto whose breath had become very unstable, he asked with a hint of worry.

It was obvious that Menma had reached the point of no return, if anything went wrong with Naruto.

That would be a complete disservice to the Fourth Hokage.

At least as long as Naruto is around, they can still comfort themselves in their hearts.

"Ahem... I'm fine... Uncle Ding Zuo..."

Naruto shook his head with some difficulty, then raised his eyes again and looked at Menma opposite him, with sadness deep in his pupils.

Killing intent!

That was the cold texture that could be felt nakedly at that moment.

Before this, Naruto really couldn't imagine that Menma would actually kill him if he hadn't shouted just now.

Did he already die at Menma's hands?

Although I had never heard such a voice, and had never seen that face or figure before.

It was obviously the first time.

But Naruto felt a sense of familiarity and warmth he had never felt before.

'Is it really you? Mom...'

in a distant location.

Menma looked at Naruto and Choza, who had already dispersed and were attacking the Anbu members in the surrounding areas.

And within the range of one's own perception.

It can be clearly detected that in the farther distance, there are other chakra fluctuations approaching.

Menma took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Sasuke!"

The words shouted out loud.

"!?"

The moment I heard Menma's words.

Sasuke also paused.

"Peng!"

He gave up on further forcing Neji and Shino, and with a flash of his body, he went straight to the side of Menma.

Duoyouya, who also heard Menma's words, also quickly released chakra under his feet and returned to the position behind Menma at the same time.

Shikamaru, who had just escaped death, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Neji and Shino were only slightly better off than Shikamaru. After all, they had already fought a fierce battle before coming, and they all had injuries of varying degrees.

It might be ok in full condition.

Now words.

Sasuke in the Curse Seal Mode 2 is really suppressing two people in the fight.

In other words, the defense formed by Neji's Kaiten and Shino's Parasitic Ringworm was strong enough, otherwise they would have been KOed long ago. If it really dragged on, Sasuke could still defeat or even kill them.

"Let's go. There's no need to waste time. There will be opportunities in the future."

Menma said calmly.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter."

Sasuke also came out of the cursed mode. His pupils regained their clear black and white color. He snorted and said indifferently.

"Ah."

Menma also nodded slightly and glanced at Hyuga Neji who was flying over from not far away.

"Snapped!"

With a clap of hands.

A huge amount of chakra extracted in an instant.

"Water Style - Great Explosion Water Wave Technique."

A large-scale restrictive water escape technique that was directly used.

It directly covered all the people in Konoha in front of it, and the rolling waves formed a natural azure barrier.

While separated.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Menma, Sasuke, and Tayuya leaped up and quickly flew away towards the border.

He barely managed to avoid the ANBU member who was covered by Menma's water escape technique.

Seeing that the three men from Menma were gradually going away, he was about to jump in pursuit of them.

"Don't chase us. We are already at the border. Stop now."

Ding Zuo's deep words.

It also made these Anbu people stop in their tracks.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 174 Going the other way (Part )

There is no point in pursuing.

Of course, this was Ding Zuo's judgment based on the fact that he could not see the possibility of success. Menma's strength was far beyond previous expectations.

Just the strength that has just been demonstrated.

Ding Zuo thought to himself that he might have to swallow the red pill of his own clan to have the power to match Menma, and that he would only be a match, not necessarily be able to really defeat Menma.

Red pill, 100% chakra increase.

This in itself is already a terrifying improvement.

But in front of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it is nothing.

God knows to what extent Menma can release the Nine-Tails' chakra.

In the battle 12 years ago, everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village had already realized the power of the Nine-Tails. Even the blocking force led by the Third Hokage found it difficult to stop the Nine-Tails' wreaking havoc, even though Menma was only borrowing the Nine-Tails' chakra and not directly transforming into the Nine-Tails.

But he, Akimichi Choza, is not one of the top ninjas in the ninja world.

Not to mention that they are about to leave the border of the Fire Nation. If they continue to chase, they will have to take on more risks. They have suffered casualties here, so it is really not suitable to continue the pursuit.

Naruto also stared blankly at Menma's figure as he walked away again.

This time, it seems to be no different from the last time.

But Naruto's heart was obviously more desperate than last time.

Menma's indifference and determination completely hurt Naruto's heart.

At least last time Naruto still thought that everything could be saved, but today, when he could clearly feel the murderous intent coming from Menma.

It felt as if everything I saw had become extremely gloomy.

The pain is unspeakable.

It was at this moment that Naruto's heart was completely filled.

Ding Zuo looked at Naruto, whose face had a gloomy expression and whose whole aura had become extremely gloomy, and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Brothers would go to such a point.

This can really be said to be a trick of fate.

And it was at this moment.

Even a person with a kind character like Ding Zuo rarely showed a trace of resentment towards the Third Hokage who had died.

If Menma's identity had been made public at the beginning, the situation would not be like this now.

Shikamaru, who had walked closer, was also looking at Naruto, who always had a cheerful, optimistic and positive face, and saw him with such an expression, and he sighed subconsciously.

Menma is also good.

Sasuke too.

It was obvious that both of them left so resolutely.

As early as the beginning of the pursuit, Shikamaru was clearly aware that their mission was most likely a mission that would never be accomplished.

But because it was an order, and also because of the friendship between me and Naruto.

Shikamaru still accepted the order.

And this is the final result.

can only say.

That's life.

"Naruto..."

Kakashi, who had completed the initial treatment and recovered the most basic mobility, walked slowly to Naruto's side with a little effort. Looking at Naruto, who was extremely lonely and even dazed, Kakashi's face showed a complicated expression. He patted Naruto's shoulder gently, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Even Kakashi did not expect such a development.

Not that Kakashi was as naive as Naruto.

It was just that Kakashi felt that no matter how determined and ruthless Menma was, the most he could do was to take revenge on them. Even if he wanted to destroy Konoha, Kakashi might think it was "normal", but he could even kill Naruto?

This really was beyond Kakashi's expectations.

After all, they are brothers!

"Brother Kakashi, why has Menma become so determined? Or has he always been like this, and is he just pretending in front of us?"

Naruto looked at Kakashi with a sad face and said in a very uncomfortable tone.

He once really thought that it was just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that could be corrected.

It was because of the misunderstanding that was magnified after being bewitched by Orochimaru.
