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

Chapter 53 Uchiha's Wild Laughter

While Menma's shadow clones were playing house with Naruto and Hinata.

Menma's true form had already left Orochimaru's base and, using the Flying Thunder God technique he had left behind somewhere on the southern coast of the Land of Hot Water, teleported directly to the Land of Hot Water.

This is a dock warehouse located in a coastal city of Yu-no-Kuni, which was purchased by the Kado Group and then sealed off.

Menma checked the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the secret room of the warehouse, as well as some warning items from his subordinates around him. After confirming that nothing had been triggered, he set off along the coastline towards the ruins of Whirlpool Village.

He followed the coastline and soon found the small island where the Land of Whirlpools had once been located.

In the ruins of Wochao Village, the faint light of a few campfires illuminated a corner of the ruins.

When Menma, dressed in a long black robe and wearing a white three-eyed fox mask, arrived here, he immediately attracted the attention of the pirates and wandering ninjas who were based here.

"Where did this kid come from?" Several pirates were the first to approach, carrying weapons such as machetes and spiked clubs.

The Land of Whirlpools was destroyed around the time of the Second Shinobi World War, which was around Konoha 37. Seventeen years have passed since then, and some lush green trees have grown there.

Under the glow of the campfire, weeds grew rampant among the ruins, and shrubs buried the outlines of the buildings that remained from the destruction of the country seventeen years ago.

It is likely that after the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, most of the assets of Whirlpool Village were divided up by other countries.

Even this site must have been guarded by ninjas for a long time back then, digging deep into the ground to search for the Uzumaki clan's secret treasures.

Seventeen years have passed, and now this place has become a den of pirates and wandering ninjas.

"Hey! Kid, we're talking to you!" Several pirates walked up to Mianma, their expressions arrogant, and one of them spat.

call out--

With a whoosh of wind, the pirate's head fell off like a ball.

Blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed neck, staining the surrounding pirates red.

"Aaaaaah!!!" The pirates had never seen such a terrifying scene before, and they fled in all directions in a panic.

Seeing this, the other wandering ninjas knew that the newcomers were hostile and drew their weapons.

Death, with its scythe slung over its shoulder, drifted down from the night like a ghost.

He brandished his scythe, unleashing countless wind blades that slayed all the pirates who tried to escape.

"Who are you!" shouted a man who appeared to be the leader of the group of wandering ninjas.

But the slight trembling of his hand holding the kunai betrayed his inner fear.

"Rogue ninja from Kirigakure?" Menma noticed that the symbol representing Kirigakure on the foreheads of these people had been crossed out with a horizontal line.

However, these wandering ninjas had very little chakra. Apart from their leader, who was close to Chunin level, the other ninjas were only Genin.

Moreover, Menma had no interest in these people, not even in recruiting them.

"Kill them." A cold voice came from behind the white three-eyed fox mask.

The Grim Reaper behind them suddenly flew forward, wielding his scythe to reap the lives of these rogue ninjas.

The screams lasted only a short time.

Menma entered the stronghold of these wandering ninjas and pirates and looted it.

Sure enough, apart from a few ninja tools, there was only some food and money; nothing related to Uzushio Village.

"Kagura Mind's Eye!" Menma closed his eyes, activated Kagura Mind's Eye, and increased his sensitivity to chakra, beginning to explore the entire island.

"..." Before long, Menma sensed a faint chakra fluctuation deep within the ruins of Uzushio Village.

Even when Menma used Kagura's Mind's Eye to sense the island at sea, he didn't notice it. It was only when he increased his sensitivity to chakra that he detected the anomaly.

He followed the direction perceived by Kagura's Mind's Eye and soon arrived at an abandoned stone chamber.

The entire stone chamber has partially collapsed, and most of the characters on the walls have been destroyed. In many places, the walls have even been hollowed out, as if to check if there is any space behind the stone chamber.

Menma walked to the wall of the stone chamber and looked at the destroyed text.

That faint chakra emanated from these words.

"A sealing technique?" Mianma stopped in front of the stone wall, raising his hand to try to decipher the characters.

But when his chakra attempted to invade these words, a feeling of gentleness and a feeling of repulsion came at him at the same time.

“Countermeasures… but not so much resistance…” Menma was very familiar with this feeling of resistance; he had always had a vague sense of rejection when he was in the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World'.

Until he launched the Fourth Shinobi World War in the 'Limited Tsukuyomi World' and caused a great disturbance, he was completely rejected by the world.

But these words contain not only a sense of rejection, but also a gentle acceptance.

"It seems to be related to bloodline." Menma guessed that only those with pure Uzumaki blood could open this sealed chamber.

Behind the secret chamber might lie the Uzumaki clan's treasures, their historical records, or even the records of sealing Uchiha Hikaru.

That's right, Menma's purpose in searching for the ruins of Uzushio Village was to find the record of the sealing location of 'Uchiha Hikaru'.

Although he could use Kagura's Mind's Eye to search along the Land of Fire's coastline like a radar, it would take too much time.

"A pure-blooded Uzumaki clan member..." Menma pondered, raising his hand to touch his hair.

It's all because Minato Namikaze's genes are too strong; they even washed away his hair color.

Among the Uzumaki clan members still alive in the ninja world, Nagato Uzumaki should be considered a mixed-blood, but it's impossible to find him.

It's unclear whether Hinoka Uzumaki from the Land of the Sea is a mixed-blood or pure-blood, and she's probably still a child, so she might not have learned chakra refining yet.

That leaves only Karin's mother...

"We still need to go to Kusagakure." After deciding on the next course of action, Menma did not head directly to Kusagakure.

Instead, they rested at the camp of wandering ninjas.

Under the cover of night, the ruins of Wochao Village crackled with the sound of campfires, while the two spirit beasts, Death and Celestial Maiden, stood guard around the area.

Menma then reverted to his child form, sat in front of the campfire, and took out the glass culture bottle containing the two-tomoe Sharingan he had taken from Orochimaru.

In the pale green liquid, the Sharingan swayed slightly.

Menma opened the bottle cap, reached out and grabbed the Sharingan, then gouged out his own right eye and replaced it with the Sharingan.

The almost omnipotent chakra began to rapidly connect with this eyeball.

Although the main body is only three years old, the eyes are the part of the human body that changes the least. A three-year-old's eyeball is already 80% the size of an adult's, and the owner of this eye seems to be a teenager.

With his eyes closed, he adjusted to the Sharingan's power and began to stimulate the eyeball with Yin-attribute chakra.

After a while, Menma lowered the finger covering his right eye and opened it! The two tomoe slowly rotated in his bloodstained eye socket, eventually transforming into the three-tomoe Sharingan!

"Hmph—" Menma hummed softly as he looked at the world with his Sharingan.

"Hahahaha!" Finally, he couldn't help but burst into a maniacal laugh like an Uchiha.
