Chapter 479 Cruel Crushing

PS: I will update one chapter as an apology.

Of course, the Sarutobi clan is not included.

Menma glanced at Asuma with a faint look.

Although Menma would not go to the extreme of hating the whole family and taking vengeance on Asuma and Konohamaru because of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would still do so if he could make some trouble for them.

The same is true for the Sarutobi clan.

Now for the sake of peace.

Menma can allow the Sarutobi clan who do not resist and choose to surrender to be preserved. In the future, Menma will set some small difficulties for the Sarutobi clan. Whether the Sarutobi clan can get through depends on themselves.

If they can, then everything will come to an end.

If not, that is their fate.

Menma has always been a person who "clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment".

After hearing Menma's words, all the Konoha jonins, including Shikaku, were stunned. On the battlefield, the battle had just begun not long ago, and the leader of the opposing side directly persuaded them, the backbone of the ninja village, to surrender?

Isn't this a bit too frivolous?

It feels very magical.

But no matter who it is, it seems that they can detect a trace of sincerity in Menma's words! ?

Especially Shikaku, he has a very strong intuition telling him that what Menma said is true.

As long as they surrender, it seems that everything can start from scratch?

Even Shikaku.

At this moment, such a slightly scary thought can't be suppressed in their hearts.

After all, people are still afraid of death.

It's just that in front of death, everyone's performance is different. People who can fearlessly die don't mean that they really think death doesn't matter, but just because they have something more important than death in their hearts, such as family, such as faith, etc.

Shikaku and others are fighting for the greater good in their hearts. They are fighting for the greater good of Konohagakure Village, for the safety of the village, and also for their own personal feelings, for the survival of their families, and for the continuation of their tribes.

This is also human nature.

Humans are not machines.

They must have their own emotions.

Everything is for justice, everything is for the collective. Such people do exist, but they must be rare. The reason why great people are great is because they have such greatness. The rest are just ordinary people.

In Menma's previous life, such existences were rare, let alone in this world.

Menma's words, if you say that Shikaku and others are not touched at all, that is absolutely false, but for them, such a choice is also impossible to make easily. Not to mention more, just the part of going against one's will, Shikaku and others can't get over it.

Especially for Sarutobi Asuma.

His father is the third generation Hokage.

Surrender and admit defeat! ?

Others may be able to accept it, but Asuma Sarutobi will never accept it.

"Uzumaki Menma, your father is also the Hokage of Konoha, and he sacrificed for the village. Today, are you going to force Konoha like this? Are you worthy of your identity with such behavior? Are you worthy of the dead Fourth Hokage and his wife? You are trampling on the efforts of your fathers. Do you really want to destroy Konoha!?"

Asuma Sarutobi stepped forward with a very serious look, holding his chakra blade in both hands, looking at Menma with burning eyes, and said word by word.

The purest blood of the Hokage.

Still the most determined defender of Konoha's righteousness.

The rebellious nature of the early years has long dissipated, and what remains now is a jonin of Konohagakure who agrees with his father's will of fire.

Faced with Uzumaki Menma's obvious desire to destroy Konohagakure.

How could Asuma tolerate it?

"Are you saying the same thing again? You are really just changing the soup but not the medicine. Forget about these nonsense. Sarutobi Asuma, you should know the ugliness of Konoha better than me. Do you really have the confidence to say these words? Who gave it to you? The identity of the son of the third Hokage? It's really stupid and ridiculous. I don't have the heart to waste these words. The choice has been given to you. You just need to answer me now, agree or refuse, that's it. You should keep the extra words to yourself."

Menma's expression turned cold, no longer as gentle as before, and the cold killing intent suddenly filled the world.

When Asuma heard Menma's words, his face became a little ugly. After all, Asuma was not the kind of person who was completely shameless. What he said before was just subconsciously said.

After being refuted so nakedly by Menma, he really didn't know what to say.

However, even so, Asuma would never choose to surrender here. His surname is Sarutobi, and he is the son of the third Hokage.

His natural position and identity destined him to make the only choice.

There were some people on the scene who were like this.

But Menma's patience was limited.

It would be best if he could persuade the other side to surrender, but if the other side hesitated or wanted to delay, Menma would directly use thundering means. Having an advantage does not mean that there is no need to pay a price.

The number of allied ninjas is there after all.

If the battle is delayed, even if the light ninjas finally win, they will have to pay a very tragic price.

This was something Menma had to try to avoid before going into battle.

The huge chakra pressure released slightly.

The huge gap between heaven and earth was enough to make Shikaku and others on the opposite side hold their breath. The ninjas in the sealing class and barrier class behind them all trembled slightly, unable to restrain themselves.

Is this still pressure that humans can unleash? ?

Uzumaki Menma hasn't transformed into a tailed beast yet! ?

Could it be that the previously mentioned joint information about Menma Uzumaki defeating the Third Tsuchikage, Yellow Earth, Four-Tails, and Five-Tails alone is 100% true and unadulterated! ?

The thought of this.

Ordinary Konoha ninjas felt an aura of ultimate terror, and their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.

A strong enemy is terrifying, but as long as there is hope of victory, even if it is only a theoretical possibility, the ninjas of Konoha will not give up and doubt themselves, because they are ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village, but it is completely impossible to see When it comes to hope, and when the heart is filled with a dark color covered by a heavy haze, no matter how firm the mind is, no matter how powerful the ninja is, it will waver.

Not to mention these ordinary ninjas.

As the think tank of a village, it is more likely to be said to be the highest intellectual responsibility in the ninja world.

How could Shikaku not see the current predicament.

Honestly.

Surrender seems like a really good option.

But this idea only passed through Lu Jiu's heart for less than a second, and Lu Jiu himself gave up.

"Why..."

That low sigh.

The moment Yu Menma narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp sound broke through the air.

High in the sky to the left of Menma, Asuma's burly figure appeared.

"The art of shadow imitation!"

At the same time, a longer version of the shadow rushed over from the bottom position.

The moment he touched Menma's shadow.

"solid!"

Shikaku, who was in the opposite position, made a gesture with his hands.

Menma could feel a force that could be said to be powerful spreading throughout his body. This was a powerful binding force that ordinary jounin could not easily break away from, and even those at the Kage level would be affected to a considerable extent.

pity.

This ‘powerful’.

For Menma, it is the power of quotation marks.

Menma didn't care about being restrained at all.

He just glanced at Shikaku with pity and shook his head slightly.

"It seems that you chose the wrong answer."

Menma raised his right hand slightly.

It was as if he couldn't control his eyebrows at all.

Yu Lujiuna seemed to have expected it, but still had a somewhat heavy expression.

"Uh-huh!"

The sword of Thunder God in the right hand raised high.

It was pointed straight towards the direction of the incoming Asma, and it seemed to be slashing down lightly.

"Keng!"

Submerged in the downward angle.

Asuma's pupils suddenly shrank.

The blade seemed to be very slow, but it was coming in an instant. Asuma could only rely on his instinctive reaction to forcefully twist his body, then cross his hands and assume a blocking posture.

That's when the two collide.

Then the huge power was transmitted.

"What!?"

Asuma's expression changed.

"Uh-huh!"

The defense was easily thrown away, and the sword pointed directly at Asuma's face.

"Secret Technique—Wall of Insect Jade."

"Wooden Escape - The Technique of Wooden Spindle Wall"

Between the lightning and flint.

in the left position.

Zhiwei and Yamato, who were pressing forward together, had already expected it. They clapped their hands in advance and unleashed their special skills.

In the closest position to Asma.

The double solid barrier formed was as fragile as a thin piece of paper in Menma's eyes.

"Pfft!"

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

No more effort is required at all.

Even the wooden escape wall and the insect jade wall that were chopped down directly did not stop at all. Yamato and Zhiwei's pupils also shrank suddenly subconsciously. They understood in their minds that they were still two people after seeing it with their eyes. a concept.

Only when they saw with their own eyes that Menma could break through their techniques so easily did they truly realize how exaggerated the gap in strength between them was.

But fortunately, this is more or less a double barrier to gain a few tenths of a second.

Asma seized this opportunity, kicked off his feet, and tried to open up the distance. The sword blade was about to open Asma's chest, and the sharp edge had just broken through the surface of Asma's skin. Ma Cai managed to distance himself dangerously.

This fatal attack was avoided.

Kurenai Yuhi, who was in the distance, had just reached the right wing with support. When she saw her lover dodge the fatal attack, her beautiful ruby-like eyes suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If that sword could actually chop down.

There is absolutely no reason why Asuma will be spared.

"Illusion - magic - the art of shackles."

at the same time.

‘Buzz buzz! ’

"Wood Release!"

"The art of enchantment!"

When Zhiwei, Yamato, Leitong, and the Konoha ninjas from the barrier class behind them launched an attack together.

Red is also printed immediately.

Although he knew clearly that his illusion would not work much against the Jinchūriki Menma.

But any effect would be better.

However.

It was just at the moment when Hong's technique was not completed and the attack methods of others had not arrived.

On the spot.

"Eh!?"

"Huh?"

It seemed that it happened in just a moment.

Menma, who was originally in the sight of Zhiwei, Shikaku, Haiyi, Hong and others, disappeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards.

Hong only felt a chill all over her body.

Following the instinctive call, Hong's sight suddenly turned around.

"Asuma!"

The words shouted subconsciously.

The vision above.

"Puchi!"

What came into view was the scene of Asuma being pierced by a sword full of thunder.

"No!!!"

The figure suddenly paused.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The situation was even more miserable than in the original book, watching the scene of the lover dying in front of her.

Kurenai let out an extremely shrill cry and ran towards Asuma's position like crazy.

"Do you think you can escape? Sarutobi Asuma."

Menma slowly walked out from behind Asuma.

Facing Asuma's sidelong sight.

Menma's face was indifferent.

He gently twisted the hilt of the sword again.

"Zizizizizizizizi!"

It was followed by thunder.

All organs were completely crushed and destroyed.

Asuma could no longer restrain himself from spurting a large amount of blood from his mouth, feeling the power flowing rapidly from his body, and his vision in front of him also dimmed rapidly.

In the last frozen second.

He saw Kurenai running over with tears on her face.

'No, Kurenai. . Run. . . . '

At this moment.

Asuma truly regretted why he didn't choose to surrender just now.

But it was too late.

His hands could no longer be raised.

The last sound was completely lost.

"Plop."

The moment Yu Menma suddenly pulled back the Thunder God Sword, Asuma's body fell softly on the ground in front of him, his eyes wide open with regret.

He was not afraid of his own death.

He was worried about his lover and his companions.

Uzumaki Menma's strength really exceeded their cognition limit.

"Hong, calm down."

Shikaku was also extremely shocked when he saw Menma move so quickly and kill Asuma directly, but the next second, when he saw Hong rushing towards Menma regardless of everything, his face changed.

"Haiichi! Zhiwei!"

But Hong, who had lost his mind, would not listen to Shikaku's shouting.

The words he shouted hurriedly.

"Ah!"

"Yeah!"

Yamanaka Haiichi and Aburame Zhiwei also responded synchronously.

Each of them quickly formed seals and prepared to release the spell.

"Secret Technique - Insect Subjugation Technique."

"Heart-to-Heart Technique."
