Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Over the past 12 years.

It has always been engraved in Menma's mind.

These were indeed just the cheap parents he 'picked up' in this life, and there was indeed no relationship between him and them, but there was no doubt that his life in this life was given by them.

If there is really no touch at all.

Menma is truly a cold-blooded animal.

"Father, mother, we don't have much affection for each other, but my life in this life was given by you. I acknowledge your kindness, but the path I choose is destined to go against Naruto's."

Menma took a deep breath, a determined look flashed in his pupils, and he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and gently patted Karin's little head.

Karin seemed to be frightened by Menma's behavior and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but in less than a second she restrained herself.

Menma also noticed this keenly, and naturally withdrew his right hand immediately.

"Karin? It's a good name. So, Karin, what are your plans next? You don't want to go back to Kusagakure Village, right?"

Menma looked at Karin in front of him. Although he already had a plan in mind, he still wanted to ask Karin what she thought.

"Me? I don't know. I have been living in Kusagakure Village since I was born. My mother has passed away for several years. I don't know where I can go."

When Karin heard Menma's question, she was also stunned at first.

Then a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.

For Xianglin, who is only 12 years old now, she really has no idea where her future lies.

"That.."

"Can I follow you? Join the Hidden Leaf Village. I'll be very useful. Just like I said before, I'm a sensory ninja and a medical ninja. If I talk to someone related to your village, I should be able to join Konoha, right?"

Just as Menma opened his mouth, Karin seemed to suddenly think of something. Her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Menma and asked with a hint of hope.

When Menma heard Karin's words, he was subconsciously stunned.

He didn't expect Xianglin to be so thorough. This was no longer a question of trust or not. It just meant that she was leaving everything to him, right?

Could it be that the first instinct is so strong?

No.

'Is there no choice?'

Thinking of what Karin had just said, Menma also suddenly realized something.

When people have no choice, they can only think of what is happening.

"But, are you going to join the Hidden Leaf Village? This is really a fantastic idea. I am about to leave Konoha myself."

Menma thought about it with some amusement.

But after a slight hesitation.

"You can follow me, of course. But, Xianglin, are you willing to trust me?"

Menma looked at Karin and asked with a very serious expression.

"Ah? Of course I'm willing to believe it!"

Xianglin was stunned at first, then nodded frantically in response.

"That's good. Next, just follow me and I will arrange a real future for you."

Whether it is out of sympathy or personal intention.

Menma is definitely going to help Karin.

This is the right thing to do both morally and logically.

Although Karin was a little confused and not quite sure what Menma meant, she still understood what Menma said. At that moment, it would be a lie to say that Karin did not have any hesitation, fear, or confusion.

But in the end she chose to believe Menma.

The reason is still so simple.

The existing choices before us.

She felt this was the most reliable and reasonable approach.

"Ok!"

Therefore, Karin no longer had any hesitation or confusion. She looked at Menma, nodded heavily and replied.

"Then let's go!"

Menma smiled and nodded, then stretched out his right hand to Karin. Karin looked at Menma carefully, and without any hesitation, he put his right hand on him.

"Whoosh!"

Following from that.

The two of them leapt up and left the spot together.

Only the cold bodies of two Kusanagi were left lying in a pool of blood.

And this is what is happening throughout the Forest of Death.

Killing, this is the ninja's specialty.

Chapter 87 Snake Appears

"Is this all you have? The son of the Fourth Hokage, the last orphan of the Uchiha clan, seems to really disappoint me."

Orochimaru still had the appearance of a Grass Ninja. He licked his lips and looked at Naruto and Sasuke, who were already in a miserable state, with a very sarcastic look on his face.

At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke no longer had the energy to chat with Orochimaru.

Both of them were breathing heavily, and each of them was covered in wounds and looked miserable. On the other hand, Orochimaru looked completely unharmed. The huge gap between them was clearly visible.

The expressions of the two people seemed more solemn than ever before.

Of course, the two of them didn't realize that this was the result of Orochimaru's ultimate invincibility. If it wasn't for verifying Sasuke's current strength and potential, given the current strength gap between the two of them and Orochimaru, an instant kill would be the only result.

"Haha, it looks like we're both going to die here together, but fortunately Sakura can survive, so that's the last good thing, right, Sasuke?"

Naruto deliberately forced a smile and said to Sasuke who was standing beside him.

"Shut up, idiot!"

Sasuke's face was gloomy and his hands were clenched tightly. He didn't want to die here, he absolutely didn't want to die here.

The revival of the clan and the revenge on Uchiha Itachi.

Sasuke absolutely didn't want to, and wouldn't allow himself to die here so easily.

The chakra fluctuations that were further released.

The faint scarlet color in the pupils.

It seemed as if there was a magatama faintly emerging from it.

"Eh? Sasuke? Why did your eyes change? They seem a bit similar to the one Kakashi has?"

Naruto, who was standing beside him, also widened his eyes instantly at this moment.

This is the words spoken.

And then there are the changes that you feel yourself experiencing.

This also made Sasuke stunned.

He subconsciously touched his eyes, and his eyes' single-magatama Sharingan had become extremely clear.

This surging force.

"Sharingan, I finally got this power!"

Sasuke's self-confidence swelled infinitely at this moment.

at the same time.

Orochimaru, who seemed calm in the distance, had actually felt a little disappointed just now. After such a long period of testing, Sasuke had not used his Sharingan at all. This was enough to prove that Itachi's younger brother had not yet opened the highest secret of the Uchiha clan.

"Compared to Itachi, this talent is still far behind..."

Orochimaru shook his head slightly in his heart and thought.

But even so.

Orochimaru will not give up on Sasuke.

This was his only chance to obtain the bloodline of the Uchiha clan. Itachi was too strong. Of course, more importantly, the Mangekyō Sharingan could restrain Orochimaru. The Corpse Reincarnation Technique certainly gave Orochimaru the hope of seeing "eternal life".

But it was obvious that it also hurt Orochimaru's 'soul'.

Illusion itself is a technique that acts on the mind, and it can even be said to be a technique at the soul level. After Orochimaru's own soul was greatly weakened, Itachi's restraining effect on Orochimaru became very obvious.

Otherwise, with Orochimaru's strength, even if he was no match for Uchiha Itachi, why would he be killed instantly in one move?

Orochimaru himself is also clearly aware of his own weaknesses, and that is why he is eager to obtain the 'Sharingan' and obtain the purest Uchiha clan bloodline. Itachi has no hope here, so he can only rely on Sasuke.

Even if Sasuke's aptitude is not good, Orochimaru has to give it a try.

but.

It was also at that moment.

When Orochimaru saw the scarlet and pitch-black Sharingan appear in Sasuke's pupils.

There was a flash of ecstasy in his pupils.

"Sharingan! It's Sharingan!"

This is an extreme reversal of the situation. How disappointed Orochimaru was before is how happy he is now.

The gaze directed towards Sasuke also instantly became extremely hot.

"This trip was not in vain after all!"

Orochimaru suppressed the joy in his heart and licked his lips again.

"boom!"

Then his body exploded again.

He ran directly towards Sasuke and Naruto's location.

The three of them once again engaged in a fierce battle.

The violent battle fluctuations that spread continuously were far beyond the level of ordinary Genin.

Both Naruto and Sasuke exerted their powers beyond their levels.

Especially Sasuke, after he possessed the Sharingan.

Sasuke's current personal strength is definitely at the top level among the Chunin level, but in front of Orochimaru, he still seems so weak and ridiculous.

Orochimaru still has complete control over his power, and is pushing Sasuke to his final limit level bit by bit.

By the time Menma arrived at the nearby area.

What was seen was the scene where Naruto was just blown away by Orochimaru's heavy blow, with the back of his head hitting the tree trunk behind him and falling into a coma, and Sasuke was completely subdued by Orochimaru.

"Luckily I didn't miss it."

Menma stood on a high point, looking at the three people below, with a hint of relief in his pupils.

If he really missed Orochimaru here, then he would really have no choice but to try to scam Kabuto Yakushi.

Of course, he has no intention of showing up now. Sasuke is still awake, and he cannot let Sasuke see him.

As for Naruto, isn't he still alive?

Even if he really died at the hands of Orochimaru, Menma would not have any extra emotional fluctuations now. Since that night, he has completely seen himself and Naruto clearly.

At least Minato and Kushina have given him life in this life.

He acknowledges this affection.

But Naruto? He was just a stranger who was only related by blood, not to mention that their respective philosophies were completely opposite.

Menma will never do the same foolish thing as before, filtering through his past life, unless his younger brother will stand firmly on his side.
