Chapter 319: Naive Request

Therefore, Menma's attack was merciless.

While severely injuring Naruto, he also wanted to kill this toad from Mt. Myoboku.

The cold light blooms.

The murderous intent that comes close to the point.

When it came into view, Menma's sword edge had already come closer. The moment the cold aura that hit his face was fully covered, Toad Fukasaku's body froze subconsciously.

It was too late for him to react in any way.

'That's too late! Are you going to die here? ! ’

This was the last thought that came to mind.

Death seemed imminent.

at the last moment.

"untie!"

Naruto seized the last moment, endured the pain from his abdomen, and immediately formed seals with his hands.

Directly cancel the psychic spell.

"puff!"

The next second.

Toad Fukasaku turned into a ball of white mist and disappeared directly.

Failed second goal.

Menma's sword paused subconsciously, but for less than 0.5 seconds, it still continued to move horizontally downward.

"Pfft!"

The blade was deflected slightly.

The Achilles heel deliberately avoided.

The Thunder God Sword held by Menma also penetrated directly into Naruto's shoulder, piercing the flesh and blood with a dull sound.

Then blood splashed out.

"!?"

The tearing pain felt again.

Naruto's face once again showed a slightly twisted look of pain.

Soon after.

The further entangled King Kong blockade also firmly restrained Naruto's body at this moment, making him completely lose his ability to resist.

"In the end, instead of thinking about escaping, did you give priority to sending that old toad away? It's really something only you can do, my stupid brother."

Menma looked at Naruto, who had exited the sage mode and looked weak and pale, and said in a calm tone.

Naruto is still the same Naruto.

Even if the last name changed from Uzumaki to Namikaze.

Deep down deep down, things are still the same.

Menma didn't know how to describe this. Perhaps this was the inevitable result of the influence of Asura's chakra reincarnation carrier?

"Ahem... I lost this time, no, or I have never had the qualifications and ability to win. Do you think I'm stupid? Maybe, but this is my tolerance and belief, brother, although I don't know what you want to do, and I really don't blame you, but at this last moment, I still want to say, I hope you can let the village go, at least the ordinary villagers don't You know the truth, don't you? Let me bear all the hatred. I am willing to accept any punishment. I just hope that I can dispel the anger in your heart and not take revenge on Konoha. At least it is our hometown? Well, it’s the village that my father and mother protected with their lives, please.”

This is the last moment of life.

At least in Naruto's opinion.

He thought Menma wouldn't show any mercy to him.

Just like the ruthless killer in the Valley of the End, he still had no ability to resist when he fell into Menma's hands.

Naruto was already prepared to die.

But he still hopes to awaken Menma, even a little kindness, and use his own blood to eliminate all the hatred in the past.

Naruto looked like he was begging for help.

Almost pleading words.

The moment it fell into Menma's eyes, Menma just thought it was ridiculous.

His younger brother still thinks to this day that he left Konoha just because of the hatred caused by his past experiences.

indeed.

This is the most direct root cause.

But it's just one, not the only one.

Ushering in true rebirth amidst destruction, that is what Menma wants to do, revenge on Konoha? It may have been the most important goal in the beginning, but now it is just a secondary goal in the "main mission" that Menma wants to complete.

"Don't you want to take revenge on Konoha? Naruto, as I said at the beginning, you will never understand me, and you will never be able to walk on the same path with me. Of course, I have never had the luxury of expecting this. With you You are the only one who can use your blood to eliminate hatred. You are the only one who can say such stupid words. Konoha has long been decayed. Just like this world, it is so dark and dirty, and it should be purified. exist."

Menma looked at Naruto with cold eyes and said in a very cold tone.

Has Naruto grown up?

The answer is yes.

Whether it is mentality, consciousness, or personal strength, Naruto now has definitely changed a lot compared to more than a year ago, but some things that are engraved in his bones cannot be changed. This is already vividly reflected in the original work. .

For example, Naruto's dream inherited from Jiraiya is to build a so-called "world where people understand each other."

From beginning to end, Naruto never gave up and always believed that he could do this.

However, Naruto's ideals, Naruto's approach.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of retracing the path Senju Hashirama took back then. At most, it's just adding someone who has a connection with the tailed beast.

But the original peace was based on the fact that Hashirama was still alive.

The peace after the final battle in the original work.

It is also based on the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are still alive.

And such a peace.

Is it really because of mutual understanding between people? Or is it because of the awe of Naruto and Sasuke's power?

I'm afraid it's mostly the latter?

Not to mention that even at that time, the major countries did understand each other and maintained a peaceful situation with each other.

But the long history of mankind has told an eternal philosophy, that is, humans have always been creatures who remember to eat but not to be beaten, and repeating the same mistakes is the old business of humans.

Even if the lesson is profound enough.

Time will make everything brought by these lessons slowly disappear.

This is why Menma has always felt that Naruto's beliefs and ideals are very ridiculous. You know, in his youth in his previous life, Menma regarded Naruto as his favorite anime character.

Until adulthood, it has never changed.

This is not that Menma must use a dark mentality to look at the world and the future, but at least it is better than the so-called hot-blooded justice.

Menma still prefers to believe in the path of 'realism'.

At least that path seems more reasonable and more practical.

"Why? Why must it be so cruel? So bloody? Ordinary people are innocent, Menma, calm down, don't let hatred control yourself... I... cough cough..."

Hearing Menma's words.

Naruto was anxious and wanted to continue speaking.

The pain directly affected the wound and continued to be transmitted to the nerves, causing Naruto's face to change again. With a sweet throat, a large amount of scarlet blood spurted out of his mouth again.

His breath became much weaker.
