Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

At the same time.

Menma was also rushing towards the direction where Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were, but he encountered a few minor accidents on the way.

Looking at Karin, who appeared in front of him with an air of a villain boss, and the other two Grass Ninjas, Menma's expression was as weird as it could be.

"Haha, this is really good luck. The examiner really didn't lie. If four people can't act together, then they must be divided into two teams. But, it's actually one person? My luck is really good. At such a close distance, well done, Karin."

The leading Grass Ninja, who looked like he had a cockscomb, patted Karin's head with a smug expression and said arrogantly.

Karin's body seemed to tremble subconsciously following the action of the cockscomb-headed ninja, and there was a hint of apology in her eyes when she looked towards Menma.

"Little brat, if you have some sense, just hand over the scroll in your hand. Since you are a Konoha ninja, I am willing to let you go."

The cockscomb-headed ninja raised his chin and looked at Menma in the opposite position.

"This is a rare act of kindness on our part, kid, please don't be ungrateful."

The purple-haired grass ninja at the side also sneered and said.

Menma shook his head in amusement after hearing what the two Grass Ninjas said.

"Goodwill? Oh, then we'll have to see if you have the ability to do so."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Menma's pupils.

"boom."

This chakra burst out directly.

"Whoosh."

The figure flashed.

He also took the initiative to threaten the two Grass Ninjas on the opposite side at a very fast speed.

When they saw Menma reject them, the two Grass Ninjas instantly became furious.

But only a second later.

When seeing Menma's incredible speed.

"!?"

"not good."

The two Grass Ninjas, whose brains were not particularly stupid, instantly realized that the kid from the Hidden Leaf Village in front of them was definitely not a rookie.

"Aso!"

"Oh, no problem."

The two people who were standing straight ahead were also running wildly.

A clear sign of a pincer attack.

however.

"Humph."

These two Grass Ninjas overestimated themselves and underestimated Menma.

This directly forced the pressure to the near point.

"Swish"

With a flip of the palm.

The bright and shining kunai that appeared.

In the sudden downward angle.

"Keng."

A flash of cold light.

The only one who could react was this Cockscomb Grass Ninja who barely managed to react.

A barely adequate posture.

It took a lot of effort to block the attack.

Along with the sparks that burst out and the extremely powerful force that was transmitted down, the face of the Cockscomb Grass Ninja suddenly changed.

The legs were shaking violently.

This is clearly an irresistible situation.

"Aso, still covering me."

These words were shouted out sharply.

I want my teammates to come and support me immediately.

pity.

The words just fell.

"Swish"

Menma had already used great force to break the blocking posture of the Grass Ninja, exposing his vital point, and Menma turned his wrist.

A cold light flashed.

Insert it straight into the heart of the Cockscomb Kusanagi Shinobi.

"Well!?"

A heart-wrenching pain spread throughout my body.

"what!!"

A shrill cry was heard.

The feeling of coldness that I felt in an instant.

Menma smiled coldly.

With a twist of the right hand.

He directly crushed the heart of the cockscomb ninja in the most brutal way.

"Wow!"

A large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth, and all his strength was completely poured out at this moment. His vision quickly became dim, and a chill filled his whole body.

"Swish"

As the face was numb, he twitched.

The blood spurted out.

The infection makes the whole body numb.

The body of this Cockscomb Grass Ninja fell forward limply, and before his consciousness finally fell into darkness, this Cockscomb Grass Ninja glanced at the location of his companions, as if trying to figure out why his companions didn't come to support him.

But when he saw that his companion had already fallen in a pool of blood, with another "Mian Ma" standing next to him.

There just was a glimmer of realization in the eyes of this cockscomb-headed ninja.

"So we are the prey? And we are stupid prey that came to us on our own initiative?"

After this last self-deprecating thought popped into my mind.

"Peng"

The consciousness of this cockscomb ninja completely sank into darkness.

There is no interest at all.

Menma looked at the two dead Kusanagi ninjas, without any fluctuation in his pupils. For him now, his personal strength alone was enough to crush all ordinary middle and lower ninjas.

They didn't even detect their first shadow clone.

"You should be able to detect my shadow clone, why didn't you report it to your companions?"

Menma gently wiped the blood off his face, and took out the mission scroll of their team from the arms of the Kusagakure ninja below. After seeing the word "Earth" on it, he casually put it aside. Then, looking at Karin who seemed to be forcing herself to remain calm, but was actually panicking and her body was shaking uncontrollably, he spoke in a light tone.

"They are not my companions."

After being silent for a while, Karin took a deep breath to calm herself down, then looked up at Menma and spoke word by word.

"Also, you may not believe it, but when I saw you during the first round of exams, I felt that you were very kind. At least, I would rather trust you than these two guys."

"Oh? Is it just because of my red hair? But in this exam, it's not just me..."

"No, it has nothing to do with red hair. It's just a simple intuition."

Karin pursed her lips and replied with a very serious expression.

"Just because of this reason? You are all grass ninjas, but you just sat there and watched me kill these two people. Aren't you worried about your own situation at all?"

Menma raised his eyebrows and looked at Karin with a hint of doubt and asked.

This is really not Menma's pretense.

Rather, he was very clear about Karin's situation in the Kusagakure Village, and he would not hurt her. If possible, he would even be willing to provide some help. But Karin had no reason to know all this. Was it just because of a pure intuition?

"Do I still have a choice? It's either them or you, and them, have you ever seen such companions?"

Xianglin gave a miserable smile and showed her arm, the moment she saw the countless teeth marks on it.

Menma's eyes also fixed.

"I am a perception ninja, that's true, but I am also a medical ninja, a medical ninja who can heal injuries without any spells, just a bite on me. They don't even consider me as a companion. My mother was 'bitten to death' by them. How can such people be companions? The worst result is nothing more than death in your hands. I have no choice at all. If you don't believe me, then..."

"No, I believe you."

Chapter 86 Intuition and Choice

"Eh?"

Karin looked at Menma in bewilderment, his expression suddenly becoming slightly gentler.

"Hehe, actually I have similar feelings, which is why I didn't attack you. My name is Uzumaki Menma, what's yours?"

Menma looked at Karin with a peaceful expression and spoke softly.

"Kaorin, my name is Karin."

Xianglin said a little timidly.

The situation suddenly turned around.

Karin's little head was somewhat unable to react.

The main thing was that she had prepared herself for the red-haired boy in front of her to not believe her at all. After all, this was a reasonable development. They were from different villages and this was the first time they met. The most important thing was that what she said was completely without any evidence. It sounded like a pure lie. Who would believe her?

Therefore, Karin thought it was normal that Menma didn't trust her and even wanted to attack her.

Just as she said.

She didn't have any choice.

Xianglin knew better than anyone how her mother died. After her mother's tragic death, she had to endure a treatment that was like hell. She was very afraid that she would be like her mother in the future, forced to give birth to one or more children whose fathers she would not even know, and then die miserably.

That kind of future is not the future that Xianglin wants.

So, she wanted to take a gamble here, even though she thought the possibility was less than one in ten thousand, but she was willing to bet everything.

And now, she had made the right bet, but she felt overwhelmed.

Huh? Is this what it means to believe in yourself?

Xianglin felt a very unreal feeling in her heart.

Looking at Karin who looked confused and even a little bewildered.

Menma smiled gently, and the expression on his face became much gentler.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Menma couldn't help but recall the scene he saw when he just came to this world 12 years ago.

'Menma, I'm sorry for letting you bear such a responsibility, but you are the older brother, and you must protect your younger brother. You must stay with Naruto, eat well, rest well, grow up well, and don't learn bad things from teacher Jiraiya. And, and... I'm sorry, Menma, I'm sorry... Naruto... I'm sorry'

The face of the red-haired woman burst into tears.
