The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

There is no point in pursuing.

Of course, this is Ding Zuo's judgment based on the fact that he can't see the possibility of success. Menma's strength has far exceeded the previous estimate.

Just the strength he just showed.

Ding Zuo thought that he might have to swallow the red pill of his own family to have the power to match him, and it was just a match, not necessarily to really defeat Menma.

Red pill, 100% chakra increase.

This is already a terrifying improvement in itself.

But in front of the Nine-Tails, 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. The blocking force led by the Third Hokage could hardly stop the Nine-Tails' rampage, even if Menma was only borrowing the Nine-Tails' chakra now, not directly transforming into the Nine-Tails.

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

Not to mention that they were about to leave the border of the Land of Fire. If they continued to chase, they would have to take on more risks. They were now dead and wounded, so it was really not suitable to continue chasing.

Naruto also stared blankly at Menma's figure going away again.

This time, it seemed no different from the last time.

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

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

At least last time Naruto thought everything could be saved, but today, when he felt the cold killing intent coming from Menma.

It felt like all the scenery he saw became extremely gloomy.

Unspeakable pain.

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

Ding Zuo looked at Naruto, whose face was gloomy and whose whole atmosphere became extremely deep, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Brothers would come to such a point.

This can really be said to be fate.

And it was also at this moment.

A man like Ding Zuo, who has a kind character, also rarely shows a little resentment towards the sacrificed Third Hokage in his heart.

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

Shikamaru, who walked to a closer position, also sighed subconsciously when he saw Naruto, who always showed a cheerful, optimistic and positive face, showing such an expression.

Menma.

Sasuke.

Both of them obviously left so resolutely.

As early as the beginning of the pursuit, Shikamaru clearly realized that their mission was likely to be a mission that could never be achieved.

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

Shikamaru still accepted this order.

And this is the final result.

I can only say.

This is life.

"Naruto..."

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

Even Kakashi didn't expect it to be like this.

It's not that Kakashi is as naive as Naruto.

It's just that Kakashi thinks that no matter how determined and cruel Menma is, at most he will take revenge on them. Even if he wants to destroy Konoha, Kakashi may think it is in the "normal" category, but he can kill Naruto?

This is really beyond Kakashi's expectations.

After all, they are brothers!

"Brother Kakashi, why did Menma become so determined? Or was he like this before, and he was just pretending in front of us?"

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

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

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

But now it seems.

This seems to be not the result of being bewitched, but the real thoughts from Menma's heart?

When he thought of Menma's eyes full of cold murderous intent just now.

Endless grief emerged in Naruto's heart.

Is this the inevitable result between their brothers?

Listening to Naruto's question.

Kakashi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Comfort?

It seemed useless and redundant at this moment

Agree?

That was even more stupid.

Silence, only endless silence was the only portrayal of this moment.

It seemed as if the heavens were cooperating with the scene at the moment, and the raindrops fell.

While washing the earth, they also further soaked Naruto's heart.

Tears?

Rain?

At this moment, Naruto himself couldn't tell the difference, and his heart was already cold.

'Mom, Dad, what should I do to be right? '

Naruto closed his eyes, and the pain on his face became more intense at this moment.

"Go back, Naruto."

Thousands of words.

At this moment, it can only be transformed into this last whisper.

Silent space.

Those actions have become extremely mechanical.

The Konoha group is heading in completely different directions.

This is not only a fork in the road of reality, but also represents the divergence of will and ideal.

This also symbolizes that Menma has issued the final "ultimatum" to Naruto, Kakashi, and Konoha! !

Menma and his group are rushing away.

It only took less than two hours to cross the western border of the Land of Fire.

After successfully entering the Land of Grass.

It can be regarded as completely out of the effective controllable sphere of influence of the Hidden Leaf Village. The three of them did not stop at all.

Led by Menma.

They quickly returned to the secret base in the southwest of the Land of Grass.

Yakushi Kabuto had received the message in advance.

He also appeared outside the base at the first time to welcome the return of Menma and others. When he saw Menma and Sasuke, Kabuto Yakushi immediately greeted them.

"It's really hard for Menma-kun this trip. I also welcome Sasuke-kun's arrival. Lord Orochimaru has been waiting for a long time."

Kabuto Yakushi said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Menma and Sasuke arrived smoothly, Kabuto Yakushi was relieved.

He knew very well how much his Lord Orochimaru valued these two people.

One is the body container that he has coveted for a long time.

The other is currently the most important partner.

As for the four Otonin who also attacked.

Only Tayuya came back, and Kabuto Yakushi didn't care at all.

Even if all these people died, Kabuto Yakushi didn't think his Lord Orochimaru would care.

That is, Kimimaro, a subordinate that Orochimaru valued very much, and he once thought that this was one of his most perfect reincarnation containers.

Unfortunately, Kimimaro's blood inheritance disease is an unsolvable BUG.

This attack can be regarded as the last bit of Kimimaro's remaining energy.
