Chapter 467: Each person's decision

Finally, the coalition of the four nations arrived.

Although it would be relatively difficult to gather all the troops at once, and it was indeed impossible to do it in just three or four days, it was still no problem to integrate more than half of the military force, especially for the Hidden Leaf Village, because of Shikaku's proposal, it also started its own ninja village war machine in advance.

In just three days.

There were nearly 10,000 Konoha ninjas gathered at the border of the two countries, which was more than half of the troops that the Hidden Leaf Village could gather.

A large number of elite ninjas in the ninja village, including Hatake Kakashi, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, Aburame Shiwei, etc., also went to the battle together, and the Hidden Leaf Village ninjas, including Hyuga, Inuzuka, Kurama, Aoki, Shiranui, etc., were also dispatched under the command of Tsunade, the fifth generation Hokage, and the absolute elites were sent out.

The commander was Danzo Shimura, a senior elder of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Wait until the day when the army set out.

"Why don't you let me go? Grandma Tsunade."

In that large Hokage office.

Naruto looked at Tsunade with a touch of anxiety and asked in confusion.

"Naruto, it's not impossible for you to go, but are you ready to face Menma again?"

Tsunade sighed softly and looked directly at Naruto and asked.

In terms of strength, Tsunade has nothing to say about Naruto. After all, he has learned fairy arts. In terms of hard strength, he is not Naruto's opponent now. Naturally, it is not good to say more in this regard, but the real problem is that Menma and Naruto are brothers. In terms of blood relationship, they are the existences that no one can match in the current ninja world. Menma is completely ruthless to other people in the Hidden Leaf Village, but he has let Naruto go again and again, and Menma is still like this.

What about Naruto?

Tsunade doesn't want to embarrass Naruto.

And there is another point, Menma's previous kindness does not mean that he will always be kind in the future. Once Naruto stands on the opposite side of Menma again, Tsunade always has a feeling that Menma may not let Naruto go this time.

From Tsunade's point of view.

No matter what the result is.

It is better for Naruto not to get involved in this matter.

Let them handle everything.

In this way, no matter what the result is, it will at least not be worse for Naruto.

Just like in the original work, Tsunade in this life also overlaps Naruto's figure with that of her brother and her lover.

Tsunade really doesn't want to see Naruto die at Menma's hands, or Menma die at Naruto's hands.

That is the most tragic result.

Unlike Jiraiya, who is likely to be obsessed with the prophecy of Myoboku Mountain.

Tsunade really puts all her remaining feelings for her family on Naruto.

"But..."

When Naruto heard Tsunade's question, he subconsciously wanted to refute something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

Can he attack Menma?

Let's not talk about the question of whether he is strong enough, it's just a question of whether he will attack.

The answer seems to be uncertain.

When Jiraiya's grandfather died in front of him, he was really furious at that moment and wanted to kill Menma, but in the end, he still stopped.

What about now?

It seems even more impossible.

Naruto himself is actually very confused.

Now he has completely lost his way. He once tried to understand his brother and wanted Menma to understand him. He always felt that one day they could reach an agreement between brothers.

But what about the end?

The development of things is far from what he predicted.

So should he blame Jiraiya?

If Jiraiya didn't mess around, could he have unfolded as he had expected? It seems that it is hard to say, because although Naruto himself is not very willing to admit it, he is vaguely aware that his brother is more determined than anyone else, and he has his own goals to achieve.

It was the one who said to him before, and he didn't believe it at the time, but now he vaguely feels that it seems to be his brother's dream of "building a peaceful world".

Menma doesn't seem to be really blinded by the so-called hatred, he really has his own ideas and puts them into practical actions.

Looking at Naruto like this.

Tsunade couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.

Naruto used to be so sunny and positive, and he never showed such an expression.

I can only say that fate is so unpredictable and so fucked up!

"Hey, Naruto, you should take a good rest first, and wait..."

"No, Tsunade-san, that's why I need to have a face-to-face conversation with Menma, my brother. No matter what the final result is, at least I have to work hard for it. Of course, I won't do anything rash. Tsunade-san, I will go to Myoboku Mountain first, and there should be the answer I want."

Naruto took a deep breath and raised his eyes again. At this moment, even though he was still confused, he still said this with a touch of determination.

It is absolutely impossible to stand still.

If there is no answer, then it is even more important to find the answer.

The fate of myself and my brother, the future of the village, and true world peace, what is right?

Naruto must use his own hands to search and his own eyes to confirm. Even if it is a road of no return, Naruto will not hesitate at all.

Because this is his duty.

"Naruto..."

Seeing Naruto like this, Tsunade was also moved.

Yes, this is the only way to be Naruto's style.

"I understand, but just like what you said, Naruto, please remember, no matter what time, don't mess around!"

Tsunade nodded slightly, looked directly at Naruto and said slowly.

Although Tsunade still doesn't have any good impression of Mount Myoboku, compared to Naruto going to the front line immediately, it is better to go to Mount Myoboku first. No matter what kind of answer Naruto finally gets, what can he do at this stage? Just delay a little longer, just delay a little longer.

Such things as fratricide.

Still a bit too sad.

"Well, don't worry, Granny Tsunade, I understand."

Naruto also wanted to show a relaxed smile as much as possible, but in such a situation, even with Naruto's character, he couldn't smile anyway, so he could only nodded lightly and responded. replied.

The future path is still unclear.

Everything seems to be in the current situation that has become extremely dangerous.

Seeing Naruto turning around and leaving, Tsunade's hands under the table couldn't help but clenched tightly. She seemed to be able to see the unprecedented bleak future of the village and herself and others.

‘Grandpa, Grandpa, please protect me and Konoha. ’

Tsunade murmured to herself inwardly, and there was also a faint hint of prayer in her beautiful amber-like eyes.

This is enough to prove how critical the current situation is. Tsunade is not a headstrong and arrogant person like Danzo. She knows very well how strong Menma is who can easily defeat Jiraiya and Naruto in sage mode.

The intelligence said that he could defeat the Third Tsuchikage alone, the Fourth-Tailed, the Five-Tailed, and Loess together. Others did not believe it, but Tsunade believed it. Menma who could reach this level was not as good as his grandfather. , it’s definitely not much different, it’s no longer something that can be dealt with by numbers.

On the other side, Naruto, who had just left, naturally didn't know that his mother-in-law, the Hokage, who clearly looked extremely powerful on the outside, was now placing all her hope on the illusory blessings of her ancestors.

Naruto also had no time to take care of these problems.

To know.

Naruto is still less than 15 years old.

At this age, he is the period when he has the most longing for life, but at this moment he has to face such a cruel situation.

It is already commendable that you can still maintain a minimum level of rational thinking.

"Naruto-kun, are you going to the front line?"

On the road that Naruto had just left the Hokage Building and returned to where his house was.

Just around the corner.

A timid word rang in Naruto's ears.

The next second.

A pretty figure came into Naruto's eyes, with long black and smooth hair, eyes as bright as stars, and a faint aura of beauty. The person standing in front of Naruto at this moment, It is the princess of the Hyuga clan—Hinata Hinata.

"Hinata? Ah, it hasn't been decided yet. Mother-in-law Tsunade doesn't allow me to go to the front line yet."

Naruto was startled for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said.

"Really? Naruto?"

After hearing that Naruto did not go to the battlefield immediately, Hinata's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise and relaxation.

Hinata doesn't understand many things.

She only cared about Naruto's safety.

Just like the battle with Nagato in the original work.

The moment Naruto was subdued by Tendo Pain, Hinata was the first one to jump out to rescue, which already speaks volumes.

In the heart of this little girl.

Naruto's importance is self-evident.

"Ah? Of course it's true. How could I lie to you? Hinata."

"Then, if you want to go to the front line one day, Naruto-kun, please be sure to take me with you. My Byakugan can definitely help you, Naruto-kun."

Hinata took a deep breath, as if she was trying to use up all her courage, raised her eyes slightly, looked directly at Naruto, and said in a very firm tone.

"Ah? I'm afraid that's not possible. Uncle Hizu probably won't let you go to the front line, Hinata."

Naruto scratched the back of his head and replied as if he was a little unresponsive.

"No, it's okay. I will persuade Father, as long as Naruto-kun doesn't disappear suddenly. If Naruto-kun, you must go to the battlefield, please take me with you, Naruto-kun. "

Hinata shook her head firmly and said, unlike in the past when she would blush when she looked at Naruto, this time Hinata looked straight at Naruto without even looking away, especially when At the moment when the words 'disappear suddenly', if Naruto's mind was more delicate and sensitive, he could hear this slight vibrato.

Hinata was really afraid that one day she would suddenly hear the news of Naruto's death.

In the heart of this girl.

This is the result she least wants to see, and it will also make her collapse. Therefore, if there must be such a day, Hinata hopes that she will die before Naruto.

This is Hinata's determination.

Just like in the original work, facing the unrivaled Tendo Pain, she still stood up unwaveringly.

"Ah? This? Hinata, why do you have to go to the front line with me? It's very dangerous there, I think..."

Naruto still didn't quite understand Hinata's thoughts, and the words he wanted to persuade Hinata to give up his intention to follow him to the battlefield were not finished.

He was interrupted by Hinata.

"Aren't we companions, Naruto-kun."

Facing Hinata's pair of pure white eyes, Naruto was speechless for a while.

"So, I want to help you, Naruto-kun."

Hinata still looked very determined, and said word by word.

"Hinata..."

Naruto seemed to have something blocking his throat, and he was speechless.

"Yes, Naruto, if you refuse this, it would be too strange."

"We are companions, Naruto-kun, please let us go to the front line with you when the time comes."

"Naruto, we will always be your companions."

It was at this moment.

On both sides of the road.

Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, Lee, Sakura, Kiba and others came out one after another. As the most outstanding existence of the next generation of the major ninja clans in Konohagakure Village, unless they really have to go all out, otherwise, these boys and girls will not be easily sent to the front line.

The ninja clan also wants to keep the flame.

Moreover, unlike the original work, Obito's declaration of war is the infinite moon reading, which is almost like destroying the future hope of all mankind. Naturally, there is no distinction between the old and the young, and all those who can go to the battlefield must participate in the war. After all, if they fail, it is no different from death, and they must fight.

But in this life, the battle with Menma is different.

If they fail, there is still another way to choose.

Even if the interests of the Hidden Leaf Village are almost tied together, the ninja village is the ninja village, and the ninja clan is the ninja clan, and they can never be confused.

The people in power of the major families are very clear about this.

Didn’t you see that even Shikaku didn’t bring Shikamaru with him this time! ?

Isn’t it just to make the worst plan.

They can die for the village, but their next generation must be properly arranged. This is also a little thought of Shikaku and others.

However, these boys and girls obviously will not obey the wishes of their fathers.
