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

Chapter 379 I was imprisoned for ten thousand years...

Before traveling through time, young Sasuke and Boruto had already experienced life-or-death battles with Momoshiki and Kinji, and Boruto even had a mysterious "Karma" implanted by Momoshiki during that battle. However, they were still unaware of the nature and potential uses of the "Karma," and had never encountered Kawaki and Jigen from the Kara organization.

When they saw the black patterns on Menma's body, the dragon horns on his forehead, and especially the dazzling golden Tenseigan, although they could not accurately judge the authenticity of his appearance, the overwhelming majesty and oppressive feeling that cascaded down and dominated all living beings immediately reminded them of Otsutsuki!

Boruto's right palm's "Wedge" seemed to be stimulated by some kind of strong resonance, and began to uncontrollably heat up, sting, and even faintly flicker with an unstable blue-white light, causing Boruto to groan and clench his wrist tightly.

Young Sasuke's one arm instantly pressed down on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword, and the Rinnegan under his bangs was filled with unprecedented solemnity and astonishment.

Without any verbal communication, based on their experience fighting Momoshiki, Kimi, and Urashiki, as well as the unusual reaction of "Wedge" at this moment, the two came to a conclusion that made their hearts sink.

The "Menma" in front of me, radiating golden chakra, is definitely an Otsutsuki!

Moreover, they are a far more dangerous and unfathomable enemy than Urashiki!

The Ōtsutsuki Urashiki in the air was far more terrified than the people on the ground.

He had noticed before that the "Karma" in Boruto's palm was implanted by Momoshiki. Now that "Karma" was resonating, and the "kindred spirits" emanating from the human on the other side, along with this oppressive aura that looked down on everything, were also present!

Without a doubt, it is the pure bloodline of the Otsutsuki, even purer than that eyeless guy on the moon!
'Is it a container? Because of my attack, this container awakened prematurely? And...' Urashiki's gaze was fixed on that golden Tenseigan, and a chill spread uncontrollably.

'That eye… the golden Tenseigan… even within the Otsutsuki main family, it hasn't appeared for countless millennia?! Just who is this guy?!'

He frantically searched his mind for all known information about the Otsutsuki clan, especially their distinctive dragon horns, but found that there was no corresponding one in his memory bank!
According to the plan, this planet should have been Kaguya and Isshiki's target!

He was ordered to investigate because he noticed that Kaguya and Isshiki had been out of contact for a long time, and thus discovered the truth about Kaguya's betrayal.

But how could a strange member of the same race with golden Tenseigan suddenly appear here?
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Pu Shiqiang cautiously probed, "Who... exactly are you? I have never heard of any other members of our race remaining in this star field."

His voice was no longer as frivolous as before; instead, it carried a hint of nervousness.

Disguised as the awakened "container" of the Otsutsuki clan, Menma floated in mid-air, his golden Tenseigan coldly looking down at Urashiki as if scrutinizing an insignificant ant.

He slowly floated towards Urashiki, stepping on invisible steps. The golden chakra around him was like a burning flame, illuminating the darkening night sky as if it were daytime.

"Hmph..." Menma spoke, his voice deep and imposing, carrying a sense of vicissitude and authority: "You brat from the main family, haven't you even heard of my name?"

Upon hearing this, the ominous premonition in Urashiki's heart instantly intensified!
This kind of aura could never be possessed by the natives of this planet!

Even the remnant of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, whose bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form, could not possibly possess such a terrifying sense of oppression!
Could it be... an ancient kin who descended upon this planet in ancient times but has been dormant for countless years for some reason?
Just as Urashiki's mind was in turmoil, Menma's body began to rise rapidly, like a rising sun, its dazzling light dispelling the night and illuminating the entire coastline as bright as day.

On the ground, Boruto, young Sasuke, Jiraiya, teenage Sasuke, and Yugao and Sai, who had barely recovered some strength, all looked up, dumbfounded, at this miraculous scene, their hearts filled with indescribable shock.

Mianma's voice was like rolling thunder, carrying overwhelming killing intent, and resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years... and banished from my homeland... Now, you ignorant and arrogant brats dare to set foot in my territory... You are courting death!"

boom--!
Along with the words, a chilling and terrifying killing intent erupted from Mianma's center and soared into the sky!

Just moments ago, Urashiki had been leisurely and timid, like a cat playing with a mouse. Now, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a huge sense of crisis, as if he were on the verge of death, came over him!
He couldn't even see the other person's movements clearly. He only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes, and that figure exuding endless majesty appeared in front of him as if by teleportation!
His horrified face was reflected in the golden eyes of the reincarnation, his gaze filled with undisguised contempt and pure killing intent!
"Oh no!" Pu Shi exclaimed in alarm. His survival instinct made him raise his red fishing rod almost reflexively, barely managing to block the attack in front of his chest!

boom! ! !
A dull, loud bang exploded!

Mianma's seemingly casual kick contained terrifying power, capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, and slammed into Urashi's hastily parried fishing rod!

Urashi felt an irresistible force coming from the fishing rod. His arm, which was holding the rod, was in excruciating pain and went numb. He spat out blood and flew backward at high speed!

He almost lost his grip on the fishing rod, and the red fishing line tied to Naruto was about to slip away!
"Whoa!" Naruto exclaimed as he fell from mid-air.

"Naruto!" Although Jiraiya was also intimidated by the terrifying killing intent, he reacted extremely quickly. Despite the heart-palpitating pressure, he leaped up and caught the falling Naruto in mid-air. He then quickly landed back on the ground, protecting the still-shaken Naruto behind him.

In the sky, the battle was overwhelmingly one-sided from the very beginning!

Urashiki, who had just been toying with Jiraiya, young Sasuke, and others, was now like a clumsy punching bag in front of Menma, only able to passively take hits!
Urashiki barely managed to steady himself in mid-air, his internal organs throbbing with excruciating pain as if they had shifted. Before he could even catch his breath, a deadly sense of crisis struck him from behind once again!

Without a second thought, his body instantly transformed into hundreds of red origami cranes, which scattered in all directions!

Almost the instant he dispersed, a jet-black chakra rod swept across the flying origami cranes, and the sharp wind pressure it generated tore several origami cranes into pieces!

Menma's figure appeared. He casually retrieved the black chakra rod, slung it over his shoulder, and coldly glanced at Urashiki, who was re-forming in the distance with a pale face.

"How is this possible... My six-tomoe Rinnegan can't even see his movements?!" Urashiki's heart was filled with shock. The speed of his opponent's movements was unbelievable!

Before he could think it through, that sense of crisis returned!

Urashi was terrified and almost instinctively raised his right hand, palm facing forward, and once again unleashed that powerful repulsive force similar to "Shinra Tensei"!

"Go away!"

An invisible, immense repulsive force erupted suddenly, surging towards the rapidly approaching face like a raging sea!
However, what made Urashiki's pupils shrink was that, faced with the terrifying repulsive force that he had never failed to use, Menma's forward-rushing figure only paused slightly, and the golden chakra cloak burning like flames around his body resisted the enormous repulsive force!

The black chakra rod in his hand remained steadfast, bit by bit, defying the violent repulsive force, and thrust towards Urashiki's palm!
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
He is only in the initial awakening stage of the 'wedge'!

How could they possess such overwhelming power?!
Urashiki's heart was filled with absurdity and fear; everything happening before his eyes completely overturned his understanding!

In Urashiki's despairing gaze, the black chakra rod, like a red-hot iron rod piercing through ice and snow, stubbornly resisted his repulsive force, advancing inch by inch until—

puff!

With a soft sound, accompanied by Urashiki's shrill scream, the black chakra rod pierced precisely through his right palm!
Blood gushed out from the hole in his palm like a fountain!

"Ah!! Yomotsu Hirasaka!" Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, Urashiki could no longer care about anything else and frantically activated his eye power, trying to open a spatial passage to escape this terrifying "kin"!
"Trying to leave?" Menma sneered, releasing his grip on the black chakra rod and closing in again!

Dark red and gold chakra spiraled around his right fist as he slammed it down toward Urashiki's face, which was contorted in pain!
boom! ! !
Another teeth-grinding sound!

Pu's cheeks were visibly sunken and deformed, and several teeth mixed with blood spurted from his mouth!
The Yomotsu Hirasaka that he had just begun to activate collapsed and dissipated instantly because the caster was severely injured!
Urashi was sent flying backwards like a tattered sack, tracing a pathetic arc in the air as he coughed violently, blood staining his white clothes.

The extreme fear and excruciating pain finally unleashed his ferocity. He steadied himself, gripped the fishing rod tightly with his remaining left hand, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes, and roared hoarsely, "You monster! Even if you're one of my own kind, I'll make you pay!"

"Amansuha Ryusei Mate!"

He no longer cared about the prohibition against killing each other among his own kind. He swung his fishing rod wildly, and dozens of red fishing hooks shot towards Mianma like a storm, with sharp whistling sounds.

With an expressionless face, Menma simply raised his left hand, and dozens of black chakra rods, each only as thick as a finger but also exuding an ominous aura, instantly condensed around his body and floated beside him.

Then, dozens of black chakra rods shot out like arrows, precisely hitting the incoming red fishhook!
Boom boom boom boom——!
A series of deafening explosions suddenly erupted in the sky!

Red and black light intertwined and shone, and a violent chakra shockwave spread out like ripples, pressing the trees in the forest below to the ground!
On the ground, Jiraiya and Naruto looked up at the terrifying battle, their faces filled with shock. "Such terrifying strength... to actually beat that guy who could drive us to the brink of defeat so badly..." Jiraiya turned his head to look at the equally grim-faced young Sasuke, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, 'Sasuke,' what's going on? How could that brat......"

Young Sasuke slowly shook his head, his Rinnegan filled with confusion and vigilance: "I don't know... but the chakra emanating from him feels... very unusual."

He had just tried to use his Rinnegan to perceive Menma's chakra, but received a vague and dangerous response.

Menma's chakra felt like... the Ten-Tails!
But there was also a certain indescribable sense of 'emptiness'...

Meanwhile, the young Sasuke, even with his Sharingan at its limit, couldn't catch the intersecting trajectories of the two figures in the air. He could only see the aftershocks of explosions and energy collisions.

He gritted his teeth, his nails digging almost into his palms, a tremendous sense of powerlessness and resentment welling up inside him: 'That Menma guy… how could he possibly possess such power?!'

Just then, the "wedge" in Boruto's right palm began to stir violently again, and the stinging sensation made him break out in a cold sweat.

Upon seeing this, young Sasuke quickly reached out his one arm and pressed it against Boruto's shoulder, trying to use his meager chakra to help stabilize the situation, but to little avail.

The smoke from the explosion slowly dissipated, revealing the scene inside.

However, Urashiki has disappeared without a trace!

Only Menma's figure, radiating golden light, remained silently suspended in the air, his golden Tenseigan coldly scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.

Clearly, Urashiki used the smoke and chakra fluctuations from the explosion as cover to reactivate Yomotsu Hirasaka and escape without hesitation.

However, Menma was not anxious.

Firstly, he had already left the "Flying Thunder God Mark" on Urashiki during the close combat just now; secondly, he knew very well that the "Plow" in Urashiki's hands was in Boruto's hands, and he did not have a second Noble Phantasm that could travel through time and space, so he could not directly return to the original time and space.

As long as he remains on this planet, he will reappear sooner or later, and his target will most likely still be the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

Menma slowly lowered his head, his eyes cold and indifferent, looking down at Jiraiya, young Sasuke, Boruto, and Naruto with a worried expression, like a god.

"Menma-nii!" Naruto shouted when he saw Menma looking at him, and tried to rush over, but Jiraiya held his shoulder down tightly.

"Don't go over there, Naruto!" Jiraiya's voice was more serious than ever before, and he didn't care that he hadn't even 'met' Naruto yet.

Jiraiya stared sharply at Menma floating in the air and said in a deep voice, "That guy... is not the Menma you know at all now!"

Everyone was on high alert, their muscles tense to the extreme.

They had just driven away a vicious wolf, but it seemed they had been greeted by an even more ferocious and terrifying tiger!

Then, the face in the air slowly raised its right hand.

A dark purple chakra, seemingly condensing all the negative energy in the world, began to spin and compress rapidly in his palm!
Soon, a chakra sphere the size of an apple, jet black, emitting a faint purple glow inside, and wrapped with sharp wind-style chakra rings on its surface, took shape!

The sphere exuded a terrifying aura of destruction, and the surrounding space seemed to distort slightly as it could not withstand the power!
"That's... the Rasengan?" Jiraiya was stunned, but immediately dismissed the idea.

Do not!
wrong!

Although they look somewhat similar, they are completely different in essence!
That concentration and nature of chakra... it's too dangerous!
Boruto's eyes widened as well; he could also sense the terrifying power contained within the black, Rasengan-like ball!
A deadly sense of crisis instantly gripped the hearts of everyone present!
Jiraiya was even prepared to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape with Naruto at any time!
However, at this very moment, another change occurs!
The body of the floating creature suddenly began to tremble violently!

His originally indifferent face revealed a look of painful struggle!
He suddenly raised his left hand and gripped his right wrist, which was filled with black orbs, as if he were fighting against some invisible force!
He lowered his head, looking at Naruto on the ground. The coldness in his eyes seemed to dim for a moment, replaced by the familiar anxiety and concern Naruto possessed. He roared with all his might:
"Naruto! Run!!"

But this sliver of clarity lasted only a moment before his expression was replaced by ferocity and violence. His left cheek twisted as he let out a low, angry roar: "Shut up! You ant! Go back to sleep!"

Jiraiya and young Sasuke on the ground almost simultaneously noticed this brief but intense change!

The same thought flashed through their minds instantly: 'A struggle! It's Menma's own consciousness fighting against the "Otsutsuki consciousness" that has taken over his body for control!'

The next moment, as if confirming their guess, Menma suddenly let out a roar, seemingly suppressing the "Otsutsuki consciousness" within his body for a brief moment!
With his right hand, which was focused on the black ball, he used his last bit of strength to swing it upwards!
The black pellet, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, trailed a dark red tail and shot straight into the pitch-black night sky, instantly disappearing into the thick clouds!

The whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards——

boom! ! !
A blindingly bright white light, even more dazzling than the sun, suddenly burst forth from the depths of the clouds thousands of meters above the ground!
The explosion instantly swallowed all the clouds within a radius of several thousand meters, blasting a huge spherical hole with clearly visible edges into the night sky!

The terrifying chakra shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

Even though the explosion occurred thousands of meters in the air, the terrifying shockwave still crashed down on the ground like a tsunami!

The entire forest on the island of the Land of Waves was bowing down in unison, groaning under the weight of the burden!
On the sea surface, huge waves several meters high swept outwards!

Jiraiya and the others, who were directly below the explosion, were the first to be hit!
A violent shockwave, mixed with scorching heat, rushed towards them, making their clothes flutter wildly and their hair fly wildly backward. The white light was so bright that they could hardly open their eyes!

Boruto and the younger Sasuke, who were slightly weaker, were forced to retreat by this pressure and had to use their chakra to stick to the ground in order to barely stand!
After a long while, the suffocating light and shock slowly dissipated.

Everyone looked up at the sky, still shaken.

The night sky, which was originally covered with clouds, now had a huge and eerie hole. The clouds at the edge of the hole were still slowly rolling, as if a piece of the sky had been forcibly gouged out!
Meanwhile, the dazzling golden chakra cloak surrounding Menma in the air went out like a candle in the wind, the golden Tenseigan on his forehead slowly closed and disappeared, and the dragon horns and black patterns on his body receded like the tide.

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his body went limp, and like a bird with broken wings, he fell straight down from the sky!
"Brother Mianma!"

Naruto was the first to react, breaking free from Jiraiya's grasp and running frantically in the direction Menma had fallen!

Jiraiya immediately followed, and in a few leaps, he arrived near the crash site.

Naruto caught the unconscious Menma and laid him flat on the ground, calling out to him anxiously.

Jiraiya crouched down and carefully examined the numbness on his face.

Mianma's breathing was steady, and although his face was pale, he seemed to have just fainted from exhaustion. Apart from some minor external injuries from his previous battle with Urashiki, he was otherwise unharmed.

Jiraiya looked up again at the shockingly huge hole in the sky and the surrounding forest, which looked as if it had been ravaged by a hurricane. He couldn't help but click his tongue, his face filled with disbelief and deep worry: "What kind of monster is hiding inside this kid... If that attack had landed on the ground just now..."

He could imagine that it would be far more destructive than the Tailed Beast Ball; the entire Land of Waves would probably be wiped off the planet.

Young Sasuke also came over with Boruto, looking at the unconscious Menma with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Boruto looked at his right palm, which had finally calmed down but still felt a burning sensation, and his feelings were extremely complicated.
