Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 2 I can't tell! I really can't tell!

Three years later.

Konoha Orphanage.

"Menma, this is your food for tonight. Don't be picky." Yakushi Nono was distributing food to the children one by one, with several older children helping her, including Yakushi Kabuto who wore glasses.

"Oh." Three-year-old Menma, dressed in somewhat ill-fitting clothes, accepted the plate expressionlessly.

"You child, remember to say thank you, be polite!" Yakushi Nonou was a little angry, but still spoke gently to Mima.

"Thank you, Dean." Menma sighed and bowed slightly to Yakushi Nonou.

After all, she was his foster mother who provided him with food and shelter. Although her care was a bit nagging, Mianma still felt a warmth in his heart.

Kabuto, who was helping out nearby, said with a smile, "Go eat, Menma."

Three years have passed, and Menma Uzumaki, who came out of the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World', is still somewhat unaccustomed to it, fearing that this world is also fake.

This aftereffect has been tormenting Mianma ever since.

He stared at Kabuto Yakushi, who was being very gentle with the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, and felt that he was completely different from the spy Kabuto Yakushi in his memory.

Having spent fifteen years in the limited Tsukuyomi world, I've lost many of my memories. When was Kabuto Yakushi taken away by Danzo? When did Nonou Yakushi die?

Whirlpool Face Ma felt that those fifteen years didn't feel like a dream, but rather a real fifteen years that he had experienced, which made him a bit delirious now.

Meanwhile, Kabuto, sitting opposite Menma, felt a little uneasy under Menma's gaze, wondering what his usually taciturn younger brother was thinking.

Compared to the other orphans in the orphanage, Menma was always very quiet. She didn't cry or fuss even as an infant. While other children were still wetting the bed, Menma was already able to help take care of the other children.

He's a bit withdrawn and always looks at people with a strange expression.

Mianma, carrying her tray, casually found a table and sat down. When the other orphans around saw Mianma coming over, they all shifted their positions.

It's not that Mianma is isolated, but everyone feels uncomfortable around him. In the past, some children wanted to play with him, but he refused. After this happened many times, no child wanted to play with Mianma anymore.

Menma has become accustomed to being alone, and in the limited Tsukuyomi world, due to her instinctive rejection, she feels alienated from her peers and even her parents in that world.

Furthermore, Menma also knew that Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto would soon be transferred away by Root, and Danzo might even select some people from the orphanage to join Root for cruel training or even human experimentation.

Therefore, we must improve our strength as soon as possible!
He didn't want to be chosen by Danzo, that scoundrel, to join Root.

"Mianma." Just as I was pondering, a soft voice called out from the side.

Without even turning around, one can tell that it's Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto, carrying a plate, sat down next to Menma and, very naturally, acted like an older brother, picking up a piece of meat from his plate and placing it on Menma's plate.

"Huh?" Menma turned his head to look in surprise.

"I see you always eat very cleanly. Are you getting hungry quickly because you're growing? Let me share some with you." Kabuto, the pharmacist wearing glasses, spoke gently to Masah, mimicking the director's tone and mannerisms.

Then, he shared half of the meat on his plate with Mianma.

Looking at the extra pieces of meat on his plate, Mianma felt a little unreal.

When he watched Naruto in his previous life, Kabuto Yakushi was already the 'spy Kabuto Yakushi' who was good at disguising himself and was cold and treacherous.

However, in the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World', there was no trace of Kabuto Yakushi, nor was there any mention of Nono Yakushi.

If the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World' is a parallel world as netizens speculated in the past, then it should exist.

However, there is another theory: the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World' is a world constructed based on the perceptions of the caster and the castee, so nothing beyond their perceptions will appear.

This is also why Menma suffered a mental breakdown in the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World'. He knew he was in a fake 'Limited Tsukuyomi World'.

Kushina and Minato's gentle family, and the reversal of the personalities of the twelve Konoha 11, made him feel with every sense that this world was real.

But without Madara Uchiha and the Sage of Six Paths, it means that this illusory world has no past or future!

I can't tell the difference between the swirling surface and the rough texture, I really can't!
"Why are you so good to me?" Menma asked, her head bowed and her voice trembling slightly.

He was terrified that this world was also a fake world.

In his memory, Kabuto Yakushi should have been a cunning, treacherous, and ruthless enemy skilled in disguise.

But now he cares about his physical development like an older brother.

"We're brothers, shouldn't we help each other out?" Kabuto Yakushi's childish voice sounded somewhat puzzled.

Everyone in the orphanage is family, and we should help each other. This is the mindset that the director has always instilled in them.

"If I'm in trouble, Menma will help me, right?" Kabuto Yakushi said to Menma with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

Under the influence of the director, Pharmacist Nonou, Pharmacist Kabuto cares deeply about the children at the orphanage because it is his home.

"Is it difficult..." Menma thought of the future and ending of Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto.

In this world, he lost his family and was abandoned by Obito in an orphanage. Yakushi Nonou and the children in the orphanage are Menma's family in this world.

No one has come to the orphanage to investigate the extra orphans born on the night of the Nine-Tails in the past three years, which suggests that the Third Hokage may not have known that Kushina gave birth to twins.

He maintained his aloof personality and kept his distance from others, precisely because he didn't want to affect the development of the original plot.

However, this cautious mindset, fearing the butterfly effect, softened under Kabuto Yakushi's kind actions.

"At worst, we can just treat this as a second, fake world." Menma Uzumaki relaxed his mindset and looked up at Kabuto Yakushi earnestly, saying, "I will help you solve the difficulties you encounter."

Having spent the last three years in the orphanage, Whirlpool Mather is still uncertain about the situation in the outside world.

But for the sake of the dean's kindness in taking him in over the years and for the meal Kabuto Yakushi provided, he doesn't mind changing the future of Nono Yakushi and Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto was a little taken aback by Menma's seriousness, but he quickly laughed again.

"Director, Lord Danzo is looking for you." A woman from the orphanage suddenly found Yakushi Nonou, who was watching the children eat.

Upon hearing this name, Yakushi Nonou's expression, which had been beaming with a gentle smile, immediately changed.

"Okay, you watch over the children, and remember to put them to bed early after dinner." After giving some instructions, Yakushi Nonou turned and left the cafeteria.

The other dozens of children eating didn't notice anything unusual, only Yakushi Kabuto and Uzumaki Menma noticed something was wrong.

Kabuto put down his plate and secretly followed them.

Watching Yakushi Kabuto's small figure leave the cafeteria, Uzumaki Menma picked up the pieces of meat with her chopsticks and ate them in big mouthfuls.

He's currently growing, and the energy consumption is enormous in order to refine more chakra.

Menma felt that something was absorbing the chakra he had refined, which had prevented his efforts over the years from yielding any results.

There's a vague guess about the vortex surface.

It seems he brought something out of the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World'.
