Chapter 322 The last one

Menma's figure trembled slightly.

At this moment, Menma seemed to be in a trance. His mother in his previous life and Kushina in this life were actually completely different. Even their temperaments, habits, and personalities were not similar at all. But for some reason, at this moment, Menma suddenly felt that the two figures overlapped for a moment.

That warm feeling that seeps into my heart.

Even Menma's hard heart melted a little.

Yes, after all, the woman in front of him is his mother. Even if they do not have much affection for each other, at least she really cares about him and regards him as her own son.

No, they are mother and son, aren't they?

"Well, please rest assured that the path I have chosen is the one I want to take. No matter what I will encounter in the future, I will not retreat, let alone regret it. Mother, the reason why I do this is not only to seek justice for myself, but also to realize a truly peaceful and just world. This is indeed just my personal arbitrary approach, and it may not really succeed. Maybe it will bring more uncertain and bad factors in the future, but at least I have worked hard and tried, so I will not regret it. Everything I have is based on every choice and every struggle I make."

Menma took a deep breath, and his eyes, which were exactly the same color as Kushina's, were staring straight at Kushina at this moment, and he said so in an extremely firm and serious tone.

Kushina also looked at Menma with a steady expression.

It was as if he could see into his son's heart through his own son's eyes.

When Yu Menma's words fell.

Kushina also nodded slowly and said: "In this case, mom will support you to do what you want to do, Menma, mom also believes that you will succeed!"

Words only a mother would say.

This does not mean that there is a big gap between maternal love and paternal love, it is just that the forms of expression of maternal love and paternal love are very different.

Of course, when it comes to Minato and Kushina, there may be some differences in their identities.

Even if he is already dead.

After all, Minato was still the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, even though he knew that the village had let him down and that the Third Hokage had failed to live up to his expectations.

But given his identity and his personality, it is impossible for him to say anything like supporting Menma in doing whatever he wants to do.

In Minato's heart, the Hidden Leaf Village still occupies a very important position. It is an existence that he is willing to sacrifice his life to protect.

But Kushina is different. The first thing she cares about is still her family. The same goes for Minato, Menma and Naruto.

Not to mention that she is dead now. Everything in Konoha has nothing to do with her anymore. She only needs to consider the future of her two children.

Kushina replied, and Menma's expression softened a bit.

This is indeed the answer that only a mother would give and the feeling that only a mother would have.

"Yes, mother, thank you for your support."

Menma lowered his head slightly and replied softly.

"Silly child, I am your mother."

It was also at this moment.

The solid ice barrier above my heart seemed to begin to melt.

At least from Kushina's perspective, her eldest son is no longer so out of reach.

This figure can be touched.

You can feel the heartbeat and temperature.

Only then can Kushina truly feel that this is her own child.

There was no longer the completely alienated and unfamiliar feeling as at the beginning, and Kushina's face revealed a look of joy that came from the bottom of her heart.

Menma and Kushina had reached an 'agreement'.

But Naruto on the side was even more confused.

This is totally different from what he had expected, right? Naruto was happy to see his mother appear in this way, but he also thought this was a great opportunity to admonish Menma.

In Naruto's opinion, he really had no qualifications or ability to convince Menma, but his own mother was different.

She was the mother who gave birth to the two brothers.

Even if Menma completely ignored him.

You always have to answer to your mother, right?

Naruto also believed that as long as his mother started to persuade him, Menma would definitely be shaken to some extent. This was a perfect opportunity.

But now, everything is far away from what Naruto had imagined.

Especially since Menma said that besides doing it for himself, he also wanted to realize a world of true peace and justice?

What's going on here?

Did he really misunderstand? Or was Menma deceiving his mother?

But it doesn’t look like it anyway?

"Mom, this...I...?"

Naruto just felt that his brain was totally inadequate at this moment.

"Naruto, you should just follow your brother for the next period of time. Don't act recklessly or run around. Of course, mom doesn't want to restrict your behavior like your brother did. I just hope you can look at the relationship between Konoha and your brother from a more comprehensive and rational perspective. You want to stop your brother, but you have to see clearly what your brother is going to do, right? It doesn't have to be too much, at least a short time, put aside everything else, calm down and take a good look, and then make your own choice, Naruto."

Unlike Menma, it was difficult for Kushina to see what her eldest son was trying to do. Naruto was definitely the type who would show his thoughts directly on his face.

So before Naruto actually said anything.

Kushina had already patted Naruto's head gently and spoke softly.

In fact, if she had to say, Kushina now doesn't know whether Menma's choice is the right one.

She did guess part of what Menma wanted to do.

Whether it can be implemented smoothly is a big question mark.

But as mentioned before, what Kushina wants to make sure is whether all the choices Menma made came from his heart and whether they were decisions made based on rational thinking. That would be enough.

What's more, even if we take a step back, does she really have the ability to change anything now?

When Naruto heard Kushina's words, he was subconsciously stunned, with countless thoughts running through his mind.

It seemed, as if he had never really thought about what his brother was trying to do? From the beginning, he had always assumed that he was 100% motivated by revenge?

But that’s not right either.

Is the malice that Menma shows towards Konoha so obvious?

Is it really to take revenge on Konoha? Even if there are other reasons and goals, this is 100% true, right?

Naruto himself was confused.

I want to say something, but I don't know where to start.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back because Naruto realized that he seemed to have no other choice. He had been captured by his brother and there was no possibility of resistance.

Then wouldn't I have to go back with Menma?

"I originally left this chakra behind for two reasons, one was to meet you two brothers, and the other was to help you when you opened the seal and tried to use the Nine-Tails' chakra. But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. You have done very well and can be recognized by the Nine-Tails. This is much better than mom. I am really sorry that mom can't help you with anything. Everything in the future depends on you. Menma, please take care of Naruto. Naruto, you must also listen to your brother. This is also mom's last wish."

Kushina said softly as she looked at Menma and Naruto with a gentle smile.

"Yes, mother, I will. Don't worry, I won't let Naruto mess around again. As long as I..."

"Don't say anything more. Mom believes you."

Kushina shook her head, stopping Menma from saying the second half of the sentence.

After being stunned for a moment, Menma slowly nodded.

"Naruto?"

"Yes, Mom, I understand."

Naruto then nodded slightly and said that he really had no right to make his own choices now, as he had been caught by Menma and could not resist. So he had to listen to his mother and wait and see. Moreover, Naruto was also planning that since Menma had no intention of killing him and even wanted to take him back, he would have enough time to understand his brother's thoughts and actions, and would have more opportunities to persuade Menma.

Isn't this another way out?

Naruto thought silently in his heart.

"Also, it seems that you know something about what happened thirteen years ago. Mom won't say much, but I hope you can be careful in everything you do, Menma."

After a pause, Kushina continued.

"Ah."

"Well, it's almost time."

A lot of time has passed and the remaining chakra is about to be exhausted. It can be clearly seen that Kushina's figure has become blurred.

Naruto's pupils shrank, and his expression of reluctance was revealed directly.

"Mother..."

I murmured subconsciously.

Even Menma's eyes showed a complicated look.

"In this last moment, can I hear you call me mom? Menma?"

The face is no longer clear.

Kushina's eyes seemed to be pleading.

When their eyes met.

That emotion that can be clearly sensed.

Menma's heart couldn't help but churn.

That mouth seemed unable to open for a long time, and Kushina's bright and beautiful eyes seemed to dim at that moment.

And that was when Kushina was about to give up.

"Mother..."

Menma's lips were gently humming.

The one word whispered.

Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up, her face revealed a look of joy, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Uh-huh!"

"I really want to see you two brothers get married, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity. I am not a qualified mother. I hope you brothers can forgive me. Menma, Naruto, mom will always love you."

At the final moment of separation.

Kushina finally couldn't contain her emotions.

Figures rushed forward quickly.

The arms that tightly embraced Menma and Naruto, the tears that fell from the eyes, the tone of voice that seemed to have turned into sobs.

The last warmth.

Final words.

In the blooming of starlight.

This fiery red figure also flashed away and disappeared from the sight of Menma and Naruto.

Lost warmth.

This is an indescribable feeling of emptiness.

"That's how my mother feels..."

Menma tilted his head slightly, then closed his eyes, his heart churning.

Menma did not try to calm down this time. He felt the first most sincere family love since coming to this world. This was also a particularly important part for Menma.

Naruto on the side was already in tears again.

Naruto is of course a carefree person.

But the more carefree, optimistic and positive a person is, the more likely he is to vent his emotions at this time.

Naruto also lost his parents and lived alone in a house for 13 years. In this respect, there is no difference between Menma and Naruto.
