Naruto: The Whirlpool Noodles from Infinite Tsukiyomi

Chapter 5 That is the death knell I sound for them

"It's time to go see little Naruto."

The third generation took off his imperial robe and put on regular clothes, with a kind and kind smile on his face again.

People who don't know him will only think of him as an ordinary little old man.

At this time, Menma Uzumaki's movements on his hands also stopped, as if he was keenly aware of it.

"Is anyone coming?"

He closed his eyes, opened his mind, and instantly took in all the movements within a radius of ten kilometers with little Naruto as the center.

This is the exclusive detection ninjutsu "Kagura Heart's Eye" of the Uzumaki clan.

If a specific chakra is known, Menma can even sense the detailed location and movement.

When he opened his mind, he found a "dark" chakra above the Hokage Rock.

This chakra that was as rotten as rotten wood was something he was extremely familiar with and couldn't be more disgusted with.

"The old peeping tom is at it again."

Menma smacked his mouth in displeasure, turned to Naruto and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened here."

"Ah? What..."

Not paying attention to little Naruto's shocked and regretful expression, Menma directly waved his hand and kicked him out of the sealed space.

"Are you so confident in letting that kid out? No matter how precocious he is, he is only a three-year-old kid, and his mouth can easily be opened by someone with evil intentions, right?"

Hearing Kyuubi's loud voice, the smile on Menma's face did not change, and he said gently: "Of course, don't worry, Naruto is a very smart boy, I believe he will not tell anyone."

This is a lie.

Menma was not at ease with the young Naruto, or in other words, he would not have absolute trust in anyone.

However, he had already used the "Book of the Vermilion Moon" to change this sealed space into his own shape, and his authority had already surpassed that of Naruto.

Once he senses the risk of being exposed, Menma will warn Naruto before he is exposed, and even forcefully pull him into the sealed space.

After all, he only has a "weak" soul body now, and the water in this world is a bit deep, and there are too many old silver coins and old immortals.

Kaguya, Black Zetsu, Madara, Obito, Danzo, the old man of Six Paths who is hiding in the Pure Land, the three great immortals who live in the Holy Land, and Otsutsuki Ishiki who is hiding somewhere...

If you want to keep moving forward and become stronger, and transform the world into what you want in terms of economy, technology, ideology, and systems, then making a fortune in silence is the right way.

This is not a small Tsukuyomi world. It would be difficult for him to defeat those old silver coins and old immortals by himself.

Therefore, he needs strength and needs to bring more geniuses under his command, and the first target is naturally Uzumaki Naruto, the "Child of Destiny".

As if he thought of something, the corners of Menma's mouth turned up slightly, becoming a little playful and happy.

"I really want to see Naruto chatting on the ruins of Konoha soon, hahaha!"

…………

"here it is……"

On the Hokage Rock, little Naruto opened his eyes with a blank expression and slowly sat up.

What comes into view is the blue sky, white clouds, rocks, and the noisy crowd below...

This is Konoha, the place where he has lived since he was a child but has no sense of belonging.

Bang!

Naruto jumped up as if waking up from a dream, his eyes widened and round, looking around him back and forth.

There is no beach and sea, there is no that gentle and friendly smile of Brother Menma, and there is no that big fox who eats and drinks from the sea!

"What's going on! Was I just dreaming?"

Thinking of this, little Naruto suddenly deflated like a balloon being popped, and his expression became depressed.

Yes, I should have understood a long time ago, how could anyone like me?

How could a place as beautiful and peaceful as a dream exist?

How could the terrifying nine-tailed demon fox considered by adults be a greedy giant fox that is harmless to both humans and animals?

It was just a dream, a beautiful and false dream.

"But, but, it's still so sad..."

Little Naruto's baby-fat cheeks trembled slightly, and his mouth became deflated, but a layer of mist still appeared in his eyes.

That was the first big brother who truly recognized him.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is not a ferocious monster that drinks blood, nor is he the incarnation of an evil fox.

But now it’s gone!

Just when little Naruto was sniffing and tears were about to flow out.

"Naruto."

The familiar magnetic voice seemed to appear in his ears again.

No, it sounded more like it was directly in his head.

The expression of tears on Little Naruto's face instantly froze, looking very cute and funny.

After coming back to his senses, he spoke cautiously as if he was afraid of breaking his illusion: "...Brother Menma?"

"You don't need to speak, you just need to think silently in your heart to hear your voice. No one except you can hear my voice."

Little Naruto nodded his head in confusion, and then asked silently in his mind: "Brother Menma, are you there?"

"I am here."

"...Menma-nii?"

"...I'm here, Naruto, I'm always here."

It could be heard that Menma was a little helpless, but he still responded with a smile and a gentle tone.

Suddenly the conversation changed and he joked with a smile: "But now, Naruto, if you don't go catch fish, you will be hungry at night."

Gu Gu Gu~

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice echoed.

Little Naruto's face turned red, he held his stomach and ran towards the river in embarrassment.

At this time, in the sealed space, the smile on Menma's face gradually dissipated, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The Book of the Red Moon was suspended in front of him, reflecting the scene outside the sealed space like a mirror.

"It's so noisy..."

The noisy and lively crowd under the Hokage Rock always sounds a bit harsh now.

They framed themselves as a matter of convention and only tasted a cup of human misery in the gentle land.

They were favored for peace and joy, and they fell asleep in the beautiful lights of thousands of houses, and they squandered what they had at their fingertips.

This is Konoha, the strongest ninja village established by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and Shura Uchiha Madara in the ninja world.

A place with outstanding people and rich resources.

Even after three ninja wars, it is still strong. Every year, in every generation, geniuses emerge, turning the tide from falling, and supporting the building that is about to collapse.

Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, Inogacho, Aburame, Kurama...

The first generation and the second generation, Konoha White Fang, Konoha Sannin, golden flash...

If he hadn't appeared, there would have been Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke in the future.

Uzumaki Menma admires their will and forbearance, but look at these ignorant guys, are they worth their lives to protect?

"Nine Lamas..."

Menma looked down at Konoha at his feet, his eyes blurred and he murmured: "Did you hear that?"

"Huh?" Kyuubi responded in confusion.

"That's the death knell I sound for them."

Menma's eyes were deep, as if he had seen a more distant future.

The old era is coming to an end.

The ninjas of the old era are also about to usher in their gods.
