Chapter 4: Lord Nabeshadow Doesn’t Mind A Few Extra Pots
At night in the orphanage, when Uzumaki Menma opened his eyes again, he had already returned from the spirit world to reality.
Feeling the chakra continuously flowing through his meridians in his body, Uzumaki Menma only felt full of power throughout his body.
With his Uzumaki Clan member’s physical qualities, it also took three years to accumulate the Little Nine-Tails’s chakra, but with the birth of the Little Nine-Tails, Menma’s chakra no longer needed to be absorbed by this bottomless pit.
He could even demand chakra from the Little Nine-Tails.
“Little Nine, give me some chakra.” Menma communicated with the Little Nine-Tails in his heart.
“I’ll give you chakra for one Tailed Beast Bomb first. I don’t have much left.” The Little Nine-Tails somewhat reluctantly divided her limited chakra to Menma.
The chakra for one Tailed Beast Bomb, for a Tails Beast in normal condition, was just a drop in the bucket, but for the current Little Nine-Tails, it was almost half of her total amount.
However, the amount of chakra from this one Tailed Beast Bomb already exceeded the total chakra of the vast majority of jonin strong practitioners.
“Shadow Clone Jutsu!” Menma formed several hand seals with both hands.
Bang!
After a burst of smoke, a shadow clone Menma appeared by the bedside.
After exchanging a nod with the shadow clone, Menma carefully got up from the bed, and the shadow clone lay on the bed in his place.
Then Menma came to the window, and after opening the window, he did not jump out directly.
Instead, he used the Little Nine-Tails’s chakra to activate Malice Perception.
The Little Nine-Tails that came from the Limited Tsukuyomi World was also regarded by the people of that world as the embodiment of ‘hatred, loathing, betrayal’, with extremely keen perception of good and evil.
Menma, who obtained the Little Nine-Tails chakra, was also very proficient in the ability of ‘Malice Perception’.
It is known that during the Fourth Great Ninja War, the Nine-Tails could sense the malicious chakra across the entire main battlefield. What is the range of ‘Malice Perception’?
“Found it!” Without time to think more, Menma detected through ‘Malice Perception’ the malicious chakra in a big tree less than ten meters from the orphanage.
A White Zetsu was surveilling the orphanage.
To avoid disturbing the children in the orphanage and his foster mother Nono Yakushi, after flipping out the window, Menma closed the window and then quickly body flickered forward.
Purple lightning attribute chakra gathered in his palm, enveloping his right hand, forming a ninjutsu similar to Chakra Scalpel.
This was one of the many ninjutsu that Menma had studied in the ‘Limited Tsukuyomi World’.
In order to leave the ‘Limited Tsukuyomi World’, Uzumaki Menma not only captured the Tails Jinchūriki from various countries, but also collected many secret techniques and ninjutsu, possessing a very rich amount of ninjutsu knowledge.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—
The purple lightning on his right hand emitted a soft hum, and Menma’s right hand directly pierced through this tree.
“Ah!!!” A scream rang out from this big tree that would take at least three people to encircle.
“You…” A completely white human figure was dragged out of the big tree by Menma, that pale face full of terror.
This White Zetsu couldn’t understand why the kid he had been surveilling for over two years had discovered him, and moreover possessed such terrifying ninjutsu.
White Zetsu’s combat power was very weak, and after being pierced in one strike, it died on the spot, leaving only a white corpse.
“Unfortunately, no storage scroll.” Menma hoisted this White Zetsu corpse and quickly headed toward Konohagakure.
While dashing between the trees, Menma carried the White Zetsu corpse in one hand and formed hand seals with the other, casting a Transformation Jutsu on himself to restore his appearance from the ‘Limited Tsukuyomi’ world.
Under a head of black medium-short hair, the White Three-Eyed Fox Mask covered his handsome face, clad in a black robe with white fur collar shoulder covers, arms and legs wrapped in red bandages, hands in toe-less sleeves gloves.
The overall color tone was dark and somber, in stark contrast to Naruto Uzumaki’s orange sunny outfit.
“Menma, what is this guy?” The Little Nine-Tails lay on Menma’s shoulder, poking out a small head from between the white fur collar.
Looking at the white creature Menma was carrying in one hand, she instinctively felt some disgust.
She had never seen such a thing in the ‘Limited Tsukuyomi World’.
“White Zetsu, just a tragic figure from the God Tree era whose chakra and life force were drained dry.”
With that said, Menma had already arrived at the outskirts of the village, and through Malice Perception, he detected another White Zetsu hiding inside a big tree, seemingly staring in the direction of Konohagakure’s gate.
‘It seems Black Zetsu has invested quite a few White Zetsu in Konohagakure.’ Menma recalled that after Uchiha Madara’s death, the blackened Obito should have started targeting Konohagakure.
Except for the Hyuga Clan’s clan territory with Byakugan, there should be quite a few White Zetsu lurking in the village, especially around the Uchiha Clan’s station.
In the midst of his thoughts, Menma had rushed to the big tree hiding the White Zetsu, and with a chakra hand blade, he severed the tree, cutting the White Zetsu inside in half at the waist.
Picked up the corpse, continued forward.
He needed to find a way to clean up the White Zetsu lurking around the orphanage perimeter to make his movements more convenient, otherwise being constantly surveilled by White Zetsu would be unpleasant.
But he couldn’t alert Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu, so he had to shift the blame.
Konohagakure at night was peaceful and serene.
Uzumaki Menma came out of a ninja tools shop, jumped onto the rooftop, gazed toward Hokage Rock, taking in the night view of Konoha at a glance.
He no longer had the White Zetsu corpse in hand, but had gained several storage scrolls.
He had also swiped quite a few ninja tools from the shop, probably worth about one Asuma’s head.
“This ninja tools shop wouldn’t be Tenten’s family’s, would it.” Menma felt that the location of this ninja tools shop was somewhat familiar.
‘Whatever, if there’s a chance later, I’ll pay them back.’ No longer dwelling on these minor things, Menma turned his gaze to Hokage Rock.
‘If I remember correctly, Root’s base is right below Hokage Rock.’
Menma’s feet leaped, continuously jumping across the rooftops in Konohagakure.
‘It seems I need to develop Nine-Face Sūvarṇa as soon as possible.’
Menma somewhat missed the flight ability brought to him by the ‘Celestial Maiden’ in Nine-Face Sūvarṇa.
And the main bodies of the Nine-Face heads were foxes, while Nine-Face Sūvarṇa was a summoning jutsu developed based on Nine-Tails chakra.
Therefore, it could only be developed with the help of the Little Nine-Tails to summon those nine summoned beasts.
Menma shuttled inside Konohagakure, using his extremely high mobility and Malice Perception ability to avoid some perceptive ninjas in the village, and eliminated two White Zetsu lurking below Hokage Rock.
But he did not eliminate all the discovered White Zetsu, merely clearing the path from Hokage Rock to the orphanage.
Pot Shadow Lord probably wouldn’t mind a few more pots anyway.
By the time Obito and Black Zetsu reacted, Menma should already be living independently.
After finishing his tasks, Menma felt hungry, so he decided to find something to eat.
Menma landed in an alley, disguised himself as an ordinary black-haired boy using Transformation Jutsu, then walked out of the alley and entered Ichiraku Ramen.
“Hey hey, I heard the war is about to end, and peace is coming.”
“The Cloud Village envoy arrived yesterday, and the Third Hokage personally hosted a banquet for them. This war should be over soon.” Two ninjas slurped their ramen while chatting.
‘Cloud Village envoy?’ Menma sat down nearby.
Right, this year is Konoha 54, and the war between Cloud Village and Konohagakure also ended this year.
