Chapter 322 The Last

Menma's slightly trembling figure.

At this moment, Menma seemed to be in a trance. His mother in the previous life and Kushina in this life were actually completely different. Even their temperament, habits, and personalities were not even close. But for some reason, at this moment, Menma suddenly felt that their figures overlapped for a moment.

The warm feeling that penetrated into his heart.

It made Menma's hard heart melt a little.

Yes, after all, the woman in front of him was also his mother. Even if they did not have much affection for each other, at least she really cared about him and treated him as her own son.

No, they were mother and son, weren't they?

"Well, please rest assured that the path I have chosen is the one I want to take. No matter what I will encounter in the future, I will not retreat, let alone regret it. Mother, the reason why I do this is not only to seek justice for myself, but also to realize a truly peaceful and just world. This is indeed just my personal arbitrary approach, and it may not really succeed. Perhaps there will be more uncertain and bad factors in the future, but at least I have tried and tried, so I will not regret it. Everything I have is based on my every choice and every struggle."

Menma took a deep breath, and the pair of eyes with the same pupil color as Kushina also looked straight at Kushina at this moment, saying so in an extremely firm and serious tone.

Kushina also looked at Menma with a steady expression.

It seemed that she could see her son's heart through his eyes.

When Menma's words fell.

Kushina also nodded slowly and said: "In this case, mom will support you to do what you want to do, Menma, mom also believes that you will succeed!"

A mother would say this.

This does not mean that there is a big gap between maternal love and paternal love, but only because the expression of maternal love and paternal love will be very different.

Of course, when it comes to Minato and Kushina, there may be a little difference in identity.

Even if they are dead.

After all, Minato is still the fourth generation Hokage of Konohagakure, even if he knows that the village is sorry for him and the third generation Hokage has failed his expectations.

But with his identity and his personality, he must not say words like supporting Menma to do everything he wants to do.

In Minato's heart, Konohagakure still occupies a very important position. It is an existence that he is willing to sacrifice his life to protect.

But Kushina is different. The first priority she cares about is still her family. This is the case for Minato, Menma and Naruto.

Not to mention that she is dead now, everything in Konoha has nothing to do with her, she only needs to consider the future of her two children.

Kushina's answer also softened Menma's expression.

This is indeed the answer and feeling that a mother would say.

"Yes, mother, thank you for your support."

Menma lowered her head slightly and replied softly.

"Silly child, I am your mother."

It was also at this moment.

The ice barrier above her heart seemed to begin to melt.

At least from Kushina's perspective, her eldest son is no longer so far away.

This figure that can be touched.

The heartbeat and temperature that can be felt.

Only then can Kushina really feel that this is her own child.

It is no longer the strange feeling of complete alienation at the beginning, and Kushina's face also shows a touch of joy from the heart.

Menma and Kushina have reached an "agreement".

But Naruto on the side is even more confused.

This is totally different from what he expected at the beginning, right? Originally, when Naruto saw that his mother could actually show up in this way, he was happy, and he also felt that this was a very good opportunity to persuade Menma.

In Naruto's opinion, he really had no qualifications and ability to persuade Menma, but his own mother was different.

That was the mother who gave birth to their two brothers.

Even if Menma ignored him completely.

He always had to respond to his mother, right?

Naruto also believed that as long as his mother started to persuade, Menma would definitely be more or less shaken, and this was a perfect opportunity.

But now, everything is far from Naruto's idea.

Especially what Menma said in his mouth, in addition to doing it for himself, he also wanted to realize a world of true peace and justice?

What's going on?

Did he really misunderstand? Or was Menma deceiving his mother?

But it doesn't seem like it anyway?

"Mom, this... I..."

Naruto just felt that his brain was completely insufficient at this moment.

"Naruto, you should follow your brother carefully for the next period of time. Don't mess around or run around. Of course, my mother doesn't want to restrict your behavior like my brother. She just hopes that you can use more comprehensive and rational methods. Look at the relationship between Konoha and your brother from a different perspective. If you want to stop your brother, you have to see clearly what your brother is going to do first, right? It doesn’t take too much, at least for a short period of time. , put aside everything else, calm down and take a good look, and then you make your own choice, Naruto."

Unlike Menma, it was difficult for Kushina to see through what her eldest son wanted to do. Naruto was the kind of person who would show everything in his heart directly on his face.

So before Naruto could actually say anything.

Kushina had already patted Naruto's head gently and said softly.

In fact, if I must say it, Kushina still doesn't know whether Menma's choice is the right one.

She did guess part of what Menma wanted to do.

Whether it can be implemented smoothly or not is a big question mark.

But as mentioned before, what Kushina wanted to determine was whether all the choices Menma made came from his own heart and whether they were judgments made based on rational thinking. That would be enough.

What's more, taking a step back, does she really have the ability to change anything now?

When Naruto heard Kushina's words, he was also stunned subconsciously, with countless thoughts running through his mind.

It seems, as if, he has never really delved into what his brother wants to do? From the very beginning, it was blindly assumed that people were 100% motivated by revenge?

But that’s not right either.

Is Menma's ill will toward Konoha so obvious?

Is it true that you want to take revenge on Konoha? Even if there are other reasons and goals, this is 100% true, right?

Naruto himself was confused.

I want to say something, but I don’t know where to start.

When the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them back, because Naruto also realized that he seemed to have no other choice. He had been captured by his brother, and there was no possibility of resistance.

Then we have to go back with Menma?

"Originally, I left this chakra, one to meet you two brothers, and the other to help you when you open the seal and try to use the nine-tails chakra, but now I see Come on, there is absolutely no need. You have already done a great job and can be recognized by Kyuubi. This is already much better than mom. I am really sorry. Mom can’t help you with anything. In the future, Everything is up to you, Menma, take more care of Naruto, Naruto, you must listen to your brother, this can be regarded as mother's last wish."

Kushina looked at Menma and Naruto with a gentle smile and said softly.

"Yes, mother, I will, don't worry, I won't let Naruto mess around again, as long as I..."

"Don't say anything else later. Mom believes in you."

Kushina shook her head, stopping the second half of what Menma wanted to say.

After being stunned for a moment, Menma nodded slowly.

"Naruto?"

"Yes, Mom, I understand."

Naruto then nodded slightly and said, anyway, he really has no right to make his own choices now. He has been caught by Menma and can't even resist. Then listen to his mother and take a look first. Let's see, and Naruto is also planning that since Menma has no intention of killing him, and even wants to take him back, then he will have enough time to understand his brother's thoughts and practices, and will also have more opportunities. Go and persuade Menma.

Isn't this another way out?

Naruto thought silently in his mind.

"In addition, there are things that happened thirteen years ago. It seems that you should know a little bit about it. Mom won't say anything more. I just hope that you can be careful in everything, Menma."

Kushina paused and then continued.

"Um."

"Then it's almost time."

A lot of time has passed, and the remaining chakra is about to be exhausted. It is obvious that Kushina's figure has become blurred.

Naruto's pupils shrank, showing a look of reluctance.

"Mother..."

He whispered subconsciously.

Including Menma's eyes, there was also a complex expression.

"At this last moment, can I hear you call me mom? Menma?"

Faces that are no longer clear.

Kushina's eyes seemed to be pleading.

When their eyes met.

That emotion that can be clearly felt.

Menma's heart couldn't help but boil.

The mouth that seemed to be unable to open for a long time, and Kushina's bright eyes seemed to dim at that moment.

And that's when Kushina was about to give up.

"Mother..."

Menma's lips moved slightly.

That one word whispered.

Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up, with a look of joy on her face and tears in her eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

"I really want to see you two brothers get married, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity. I am not a qualified mother. I hope you brothers can forgive me. Menma, Naruto, mom will always love you."

At the last moment of separation.

Kushina's emotions finally couldn't be restrained.

The figure rushed up quickly.

The arms that tightly hugged Menma and Naruto, the tears that fell from the eyes, the tone that seemed to become sobbing.

The last warmth.

The last words.

In the blooming of stars.

This fiery red figure also flashed away and disappeared in the eyes of Menma and Naruto.

The lost warmth.

This indescribable feeling of emptiness.

'It's also the feeling of a mother. . . '

Menma raised his head slightly, and then closed his eyes, and his heart was surging.

This time, Menma didn't force himself to calm down, feeling the first and most sincere family affection since he came to this world, which is also a particularly important part for Menma.

Naruto, who was standing by, had already burst into tears again.

Naruto is a carefree person.

But the more carefree, optimistic and positive a person is, the easier it is for him to vent his emotions at this time.

Naruto also lost his parents and lived alone in a house for 13 years. In this regard, Menma and Naruto are no different.

This is why Naruto was far more happy than shocked when he first learned that Menma was his biological brother.

No matter how close Jiraiya and Kakashi are, they are still "outsiders" after all.

But Menma is his real brother.

He is his real family.

Even if this family treats him as a stranger, Naruto's obsession is still so firm, just like in the original book.

Disintegrating chakra.

Exiting the spiritual world.

The real world that he returned to.

The two remaining brothers.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like less than a second had passed.

The two brothers stood face to face again.

"That?"

Naruto had a bit of a grin on his face because he had to endure the pain, and when he caught Menma's eyes.

Menma's expression also moved slightly.

At a close distance, he could more clearly sense Naruto's already much weaker breath.

Menma made seals with both hands.

"Buzz!"

At the moment the technique was completed.

"Palm Immortal Technique!"

When the gentle green light imagined on his hands was attached to the two exaggerated wounds on Naruto's body, the blood that had been constantly flowing out stopped at this moment.

The wound was also gradually healing.

"Eh? Do you know medical ninjutsu, brother?"

Naruto widened his eyes and spoke with a hint of disbelief.

And as the wound healed, Naruto's breath also stabilized a lot.

Even if he had a body of an immortal, his physical fitness was strong enough, but if he lost too much blood, he would still face death. Menma also stopped his treatment after seeing that the wound had stopped bleeding. As long as Naruto didn't die, he didn't need to worry about the rest. As the saying goes, Menma only spared Naruto's life because of the "blood relationship" and the face of his parents in this life.

Other unnecessary things were not within Menma's consideration.
