Chapter 356 Menma VS. Class 7: Part 1 - Naruto's Magnetic Field Rotation
Chapter 356 Menma VS Class 7 - One Percent of the Magnetic Field Rotation
This question exploded like thunder in everyone's ears, instantly shattering the relaxed atmosphere.
Naruto and Sakura looked completely bewildered.
The two seemed to vaguely realize that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite grasp it yet, unlike Xiang who was much more perceptive.
Naruto stared wide-eyed, his forehead covered in confusion: "Kaori-chan, what are you talking about?"
Sakura frowned, trying to clear her mind.
Her intuition told her that Xiang wouldn't speak without reason.
However, the experienced Kakashi had a flash of inspiration the moment he uttered those words, and instantly understood the problem.
Oops!
Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank.
Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!
"Everyone, step back!!" he shouted in a low voice, his tone unusually serious.
Before he could finish speaking, he sprang up like lightning, his hands darting back to grab Naruto and Sakura, one in each hand, and dragged the two, who hadn't even had a chance to react, behind him without a word.
"Karin, you should also leave!"
"You three, evacuate immediately and find backup!"
Naruto and Sakura had never seen Kakashi-sensei shout so sternly before, and they couldn't help but feel a chill, realizing that the situation was far more serious than they had imagined.
At this moment, Kakashi had locked onto Menma a few meters away, and his chakra began to circulate wildly throughout his body.
From the sudden change in Menma's eyes, he clearly sensed an indescribable sense of danger.
A low chuckle was heard from Mianma: "Heh—"
The last vestiges of calm and surprise on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a cruel and dangerous smile.
"Kagura's Mind's Eye, it's quite a troublesome ability indeed," Menma said flippantly with a faint smile on his lips.
He clicked his tongue as he spoke, his cold gaze sweeping over Xiang, who was being protected by Kakashi.
"I was planning to spend more time with you guys—" he said casually.
The instant the word "play" was uttered—
A sudden change has occurred!
Mianma didn't even make a hand seal; he simply waved his hand behind him casually, his five fingers gently hooking the string like plucking a harp.
hum! !
A deep, resonant hum suddenly exploded out of nowhere, and a strange ripple appeared in the air behind him.
A huge black shadow seemed to emerge from the abyss, suddenly tearing through the air and shooting out from behind Menma.
That was none other than a giant scythe with a long handle!
The sickle has an exaggerated curve and an exceptionally sharp blade, reflecting a terrifyingly cold light.
The giant scythe slashed through the air with a sharp cry, and with overwhelming force, it cleaved straight towards Kakashi at the very front!
Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints; he recognized him!
The bizarre shape of this giant scythe, the way it appeared out of nowhere—isn't this the very move that mysterious boy used in the dream world?!
That dangerous person who posted a bounty on the black market in the dream world to collect bloodline limits —
Could this pockmarked face before me be the real form of the mysterious boy from my dream?!
In a flash, countless fragmented clues collided wildly in Kakashi's mind, but he had no time to think about them carefully at the moment.
clang!!!
A deafening roar erupted, the clanging of metal against metal piercing the eardrums, and dazzling sparks flew everywhere.
At the critical moment, Kakashi drew a kunai from his waist with lightning speed, crossed his arms, and barely managed to block the giant scythe that was falling like thunder.
A tremendous impact surged down from the point of impact, instantly cracking the ground beneath Kakashi's feet with spiderweb-like fissures, and forcibly lowering him by half.
This single blow caused his arms to go numb, and he felt unimaginable pressure.
Only then, protected behind him, did Naruto and Sakura get a clear look at the giant scythe. They both widened their eyes and exclaimed in shock, "This...this scythe?!"
They recognized them too!
Why does Menma possess that person's weapon?!
What is his relationship with the mysterious person in his dream?!
The immense questions and shock crashed into Naruto and Sakura's minds like a tidal wave, leaving them momentarily speechless.
In the brief moment that Kakashi was desperately trying to block the giant scythe, and Naruto and Sakura were still stunned, Menma's other hand also moved.
With a flick of his arm, a shimmering ribbon silently slid out from behind him, tracing a treacherous arc in the air like a serpent before hurtling towards the incense roll with lightning speed.
"Hmm!"
Xiang only had time to let out a short gasp before the ribbon, as if it were alive, tightly wrapped around her from head to toe several times.
Her arms were tightly bound, rendering her unable to move. The chakra she had just gathered was instantly sealed off by that strange energy, preventing her from gathering any more.
Xiang's heart sank, and she was immediately filled with shock and anger.
"Come here." Menma's lips curled into a cruel smile as he uttered a sentence in a tone similar to Obito's Kamui.
The giant scythe continued to press down on Kakashi, while the other hand gently pulled back.
Whoosh!
The ribbon suddenly retracted, and Xiang, who was tightly bound, was like a helpless doll, instantly dragged into the air and flew towards Mianma.
In the blink of an eye, she was pulled in front of Mianma.
With a casual reach of his free left hand, he firmly held her in front of him.
Xiang was bound hand and foot and unable to move. She was filled with rage, but could only stare helplessly at the boy in front of her.
All of this, from Mianma's sudden attack to Xiang's subjugation, took only two or three breaths, so fast that it was unbelievable and there was no time to react.
Karin!
Naruto finally came to his senses.
He looked at the incense struggling in Menma's hands, then turned to stare at the black-haired boy who had the same face as him but was now sneering like a demon. He felt a surge of anger erupt.
He had just been treating the boy who looked exactly like him as a brother, but suddenly he was betrayed.
"Menma! Why did you do this? Who are you?!" he shouted.
On the street, the few pedestrians who were originally there had already scattered and fled in terror at the sudden battle and the terrifying atmosphere.
The sun still shone, but this area was already shrouded in a chilling killing intent.
Menma calmly watched the extremely angry Naruto in front of him.
"Why?" Menma repeated softly with a half-smile, as if he had heard an interesting question. "Of course, it's to find the person I'm looking for."
He paused, his gaze shifting from Naruto to the subdued Kakashi, then landing on the struggling Kaori in his arms. His voice suddenly turned cold, "Didn't you already guess?"
Kakashi sighed in frustration.
He had suspected it for a long time and had been on guard, but he never expected that the worst would still happen.
Kakashi knew very well that Kagura's Mind's Eye ability was something else entirely; if she hadn't sensed something beyond reason, she could never have made Kagura so flustered.
Therefore, no matter how calm and harmless Menma appeared afterward, he remained on edge, never truly letting his guard down, and kept a close watch in secret, trying to find a flaw.
As Xiang said, how could Menma possibly know about the existence of Naruto in the dream?
They certainly wouldn't think that he was Naruto's brother.
In this way, he most likely not only knew about, but may have even seen Naruto in his dream, and even saw Naruto in his dream and Naruto appear at the same time!
Only in this way can the misunderstanding that they are brothers arise!
Furthermore, Kakashi realized that Menma's composure was highly unusual.
Which normal person could remain so calm after learning they've been transported to another world?
Unless, of course, his motives were impure from the beginning.
Combining the two clues, it can be deduced that Menma was not a pitiful missing person who was kidnapped at all; he left Konoha voluntarily—or rather, he defected!
Moreover, judging from Menma's previous actions, he has always been extremely secretive, unpredictable, and his strength is terrifying. Such a formidable opponent far exceeds Kakashi's understanding of Naruto.
Even though he had seen Naruto in his dream, Kakashi's heart sank suddenly at Menma, and he couldn't help but gasp.
"We must break this deadlock!" Kakashi took a deep breath.
Clang!
A sharp metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a shower of sparks.
Kakashi suddenly exerted his strength, sending the giant scythe flying!
The massive scythe grazed his headband, flew several meters diagonally, and crashed into the ground beside him, creating a deep trench!
Debris flew everywhere, and the violent impact even made the window frames on the street tremble slightly.
At the same instant, a tall figure slowly appeared behind Menma, holding the end of the giant scythe's long handle.
It was a burly humanoid figure draped in a gray cloak, exuding a chilling aura of death, like a messenger emerging from the underworld.
Even more horrifying, he was wearing a three-eyed fox mask that was exactly the same as the one Menma had used before.
At this moment, the strange, spiritual entity stood silently beside Menma, like the most loyal guardian.
Naruto and Sakura tensed up at the sight, feeling a chill run down their spines.
"It's... a summoning jutsu?!" Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly.
The exquisite summoning technique, which allowed him to summon and manipulate a portion of such a high-level summoning beast to participate in battle at will, involuntarily reminded him of his senior, Jiraiya.
Oh no, the other side's methods are unpredictable, and the situation is getting increasingly difficult!
Kakashi thought to himself.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why is Naruto so difficult to deal with no matter which dream he's in?!"
"Heh—as expected of White Fang." Menma raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone a mix of disdain and admiration, yet also a hint of mockery. "Your reaction and strength are quite good."
He was slightly surprised by Kakashi's sudden exertion of force to shake off the giant scythe, but the calm smile on his face did not diminish at all.
Menma remained standing calmly, looking at Kakashi with a half-smile, as if enjoying the other's futile struggle.
After all, the hostages were still firmly in his hands, so what trouble could the other side possibly cause?
Kakashi ignored his provocation.
Just as the spirit beast appeared and the situation paused briefly, a buzzing sound was heard!
Kakashi suddenly lifted the headband on his forehead.
The left eye, which had been hidden all along, was finally fully exposed to the air. The three tomoe were linked and rotated, instantly transforming into a complex pattern like a shuriken!
It is the [Kamui] Mangekyou Sharingan!
"Release her." Kakashi's voice was as cold as ice, his Mangekyou Sharingan locked on Menma.
"Release them now, and everything can still be discussed," he said in a deep voice. "Otherwise—"
When Menma's gaze fell upon the scarlet kaleidoscope, it finally flickered noticeably for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes, a fervent desire and greed flashing in his dark pupils.
"Oh? Obito-sensei's Kamui—it's here with you?"
This title sent a jolt through Kakashi's heart.
Obito—Teacher?
"pity----"
The surprise on Mianma's face vanished in an instant, quickly replaced by that enigmatic faint smile.
Immediately afterwards, he slipped, pulled Xiang, who was bound by the ribbon, and moved a few steps to the side.
This seemingly casual action precisely adjusted the angle between Kaoru and Kakashi, completely hiding his body behind Kaoru.
From Kakashi's perspective, for Kamui's aim to lock onto Menma, it must first pierce through Kaoru's body.
Kakashi's heart sank. This kid even knew the weakness of Kamui perfectly.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. Not only was his opponent incredibly powerful and cunning, but their knowledge of Konoha and their people was also terrifyingly detailed.
"It seems you really know these eyes well." Kakashi tried his best to remain calm, his expression still cold, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Across from him, Mianma appeared unusually calm, even composed, as if to say, "Don't waste time."
At that moment, Xiang's body stiffened abruptly. The feeling of suffocation made her struggle involuntarily, her face turning red rapidly due to lack of oxygen and fear.
"Stop! Let her go!"
Naruto's eyes widened in fury when he saw Kaori's pained expression.
"Naruto! Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
Sakura was equally anxious.
"You want me to let her go?"
Menma's smile deepened as he watched Naruto's angry and anxious expression; he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of controlling other people's emotions.
"It's simple. Tell me, who is the one who cast the spell that brought me into this world?"
Where is he now?
Although Mianma's voice was calm, everyone could hear the urgency in his words.
Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine.
Sure enough, his target wasn't Naruto or Kaori, but the manipulator of that dream world.
Or rather, it was the source of power that allowed him to travel through the world.
Naruto was completely dumbfounded.
The caster?
What kind of spellcaster?
Who brought him here?
Naruto's mind was in chaos. All he knew was that they had voted for Menma, and Menma would descend upon this world.
As for who the spellcaster was, or how it was done, he had absolutely no idea.
"I don't know!" Naruto shouted anxiously, his voice changing. "There's no such thing as a caster."
He was telling the truth, but to Mianma, it was just a flimsy excuse born of embarrassment.
"Don't know?" Mianma raised an eyebrow.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang let out a painful groan, and struggled more violently. Her face gradually turned from red to blue!
"That guy—made two of you appear in my world at the same time."
"He summoned me from my world to this world again—you don't know who he is?"
Ha, still lying?!
Menma didn't believe it at all.
