Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Even if the plot development is different.

Menma felt that the probability of this thousand-year-old filial son coming to intervene was not low, and even Madara might come.

Menma himself is ready to go out and provide support at any time.

Senju Hashirama can be left alone for a while, as Konoha is such a big place, there is no way he can escape. On the contrary, Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, and Obito may only have one chance to take them down with a head-on assault.

Black Zetsu is the key here.

Of course I don't have much strength.

But it is this tenacity and potential that remain.

Menma doesn't want to play hide-and-seek with this guy in the next few decades. There is already a big boss lurking in the ninja world, and Menma has no interest in creating another big trouble for himself.

Or they pretend not to know and do nothing for the time being.

Once you strike, your moves must be as fast as thunder and kill with one blow.

We have to just catch these three guys, Madara, Obito, and Black Zetsu, in one fell swoop.

"It was a bit troublesome at the beginning, but the opponent didn't take action. I don't know why."

Sheren said, shaking his head slightly.

"It seems that he still has his own plans. But it doesn't matter. As long as the other party wants to continue to revive that thing, he must take action. We can just wait."

Although a bit passive.

But it doesn’t matter.

If you have the ability, just stay at home for your whole life. Menma can develop slowly. He is only fifteen years old. There is still room for further exploration and improvement of his own strength and level.

The same goes for Toneri and Sasuke.

To put it bluntly, things are completely different now than before. Now, time is on Menma's side.

"Yeah, too."

Sheren nodded slightly.

"Sasuke, did you get the answer you wanted?"

Menma looked at Sasuke who was sitting next to him with a stern look on his face and asked softly.

"That's it."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slightly and replied.

"Have you decided what to do with Itachi?"

Menma asked with interest after glancing at Itachi who was carried on Sasuke's shoulders.

In the original novel, Itachi died of suicide.

Sasuke did not defeat his brother.

Later, the truth about the annihilation of the clan was revealed, which led Sasuke to put all the blame on Konoha. He might have been unconscious, or he might have subjectively ignored Itachi's responsibility.

Anyway, the dead are greater.

People are dead.

What else is there to worry about?

But this life is obviously different.

Itachi is still alive, and Sasuke is going to answer the questions with the "answers". The most important thing is that there is still some "brainwashing influence" of Menma.

Therefore, how to deal with Uchiha Itachi, who could be said to be extremely evil, was definitely the most difficult problem for Sasuke to face.

Anyone can see that Sasuke would never kill Itachi if he knew the truth.

Although Sasuke's brother complex is not as perverted as Itachi's brother complex, it is also beyond the reach of common sense.

When Shikaku, who was standing by, heard Menma's words, he subconsciously glanced at the figure on Sasuke's shoulder.

At first, he really didn't expect that the person carried back by Sasuke would be the S-rank rebel ninja - Uchiha Itachi.

Of course, considering Shikaku's previous status and intelligence in the Hidden Leaf Village.

We can more or less learn and guess some of the truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, and naturally we also know that Uchiha Itachi's identity is definitely not that simple.

"Me? This..."

Sasuke was obviously stuck again.

"Killing him is obviously the easiest and most brutal way, but you still can't do it, right, Sasuke?"

Menma narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully.

This also made Sasuke's expression even more complicated.

"I..."

"In that case, how about you really consider my previous suggestion? Anyway, if you want to revitalize the Uchiha clan, this is also an indispensable process."

Menma's mind suddenly flashed back to a previous conversation with Sasuke, and he spoke in a tone that was half serious, half joking.

"Ah? That?"

Sasuke was stunned at first, then he reacted quickly, his expression suddenly becoming very rich and subtly unnatural.

"You have to know that for the ninja clan, talent is the foundation. If you don't let Itachi do it, then you have to do it yourself, right? Sasuke, you have to think about it carefully."

Menma said the following words.

It made Sasuke's face change suddenly.

There was a moment.

There was a glimmer of "fear" in the depths of Sasuke's pupils.

Because of the suggestion Menma made before.

But it is truly 'horrifying' and 'harmful'!

Sasuke felt a chill down his spine when he thought about having to do such a thing, and do it continuously, for the sake of the clan's revival.

I shook my head vigorously in my heart to drive away this terrible thought.

Before now, Sasuke had always thought Menma was joking.

However, today it seems that Menma really thinks so, and we have to admit that what Menma said does make sense.

What is the Ninja Clan?

Ninja + tribe.

That's called the Ninja Clan.

Menma's proposal really hit the nail on the head.

But Sasuke himself would never do that.

If he can't do it, then it seems that, really, it is only Itachi who can do it? Following Menma's words, this thought naturally popped up in Sasuke's mind.

Sasuke himself was shocked.

"Do you really want to do that? It doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?"

Sasuke's words seemed to become a little 'dry'.

"I think it's quite suitable. Isn't your dream to revive the Uchiha clan? This is a necessary condition. Anyway, it's just a choice between the two. If you think it's not suitable, why not?"

Menma's eyes became a little dangerous.

Sasuke himself was suddenly startled, and quickly shook his head and said: "Then let Itachi do it, this responsibility really needs to be borne by him!"

What an international joke.

Sasuke wouldn't even blink an eye if he was asked to fight for his clan, work hard, or do anything else, but the only thing Menma said was something he could never accept.

I really want to do that.

Isn’t it just becoming that thing in that circle?

Don't do it!

Definitely don't do it!

Toneri, who was standing by, looked at Menma and Sasuke with a puzzled expression, not understanding what they meant at all.

Only Lu Jiu couldn't help but have an idea in his mind after hearing those two sentences.

At first, Lu Jiu thought he was overthinking it, it was too weird.

But with Menma's subsequent words "people first", Shikaku concluded that his guess was correct.

That's why, even with Lu Jiu's self-control, he couldn't help but reveal a strange look on his face.

I couldn't help but look at Itachi who was still in a coma, and I didn't know whether the look in his pupils was one of pity or envy.

But it was only a second later.

Lu Jiu quickly calmed himself down, looked at his nose with his eyes, looked at his mouth with his nose, and looked at his heart with his mouth, still looking like he didn't understand anything.

If it is not necessary, just stay out of it.

This is one of the important "ancestral precepts" passed down from generation to generation by the Nara clan.

"That's right, then... hm?"

Menma smiled lightly and was about to say something.

Itachi, who was carried on Sasuke's shoulders, moved obviously and let out a low groan with a hint of pain.

"This is where?"

The moment Itachi opened his eyes, because of the serious injury and the fact that he was knocked unconscious by Sasuke, Itachi, who had just woken up, had lost his usual alertness and looked a little dazed for a moment.

"This should be considered our first meeting, Itachi-san. This is the Hidden Village."

Menma said with a small smile.

The moment Itachi heard Menma's voice, his whole body shook, and his brain seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water. He woke up immediately and shivered.

He raised his head and looked directly at Menma who was nearby.

"Uzumaki Menma!"

The moment I saw Menma's familiar face.

Itachi's pupils suddenly shrank.

As the son of the Fourth Hokage, he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Itachi is not unfamiliar with it.

Don't forget that in the Akatsuki organization, his assigned tasks included keeping an eye on Konoha, reporting on Konoha's situation at any time, and updating the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in a timely manner.

Not to mention, in the Konoha collapse plan, Menma directly followed Orochimaru to defect and leave Konoha.

Later he even kidnapped his own younger brother.

It would be strange if Itachi was not familiar with the opponent.

At one point, Itachi had planned to go find Orochimaru and Menma.

He is my only biological brother.

Defecting from Konoha completely disrupted the future life trajectory that Itachi had arranged for his brother. What should he do if something unexpected happened?

That person is Orochimaru!

If Itachi didn't feel any emotion at all, that would be weird.

But later, due to various considerations, he gave up this idea. He could only hope that his brother could successfully overcome the crisis he might encounter.

When Sasuke saw that his brother had woken up, he naturally put Itachi down. It would have been inappropriate to still carry Itachi on his back.

"Yes, that's me. I've known about Itachi-san for a long time. After all, there weren't many people who could make that choice under those circumstances."

Menma looked at Itachi with a scrutinizing look and chuckled.
