A beam of purple light shot out from the two tentacles on the Demon King's forehead, illuminating the body of the Uzumaki Menma.
Minato Namikaze reacted quickly, standing in front of Uzumaki Menma, but he couldn't stop the light from shining through.
A ball appeared in his hand, ready to attack the Demon King.
To him, both Naruto Uzumaki and Uzumaki Menma were his children, and now the Demon King's actions were harming his sons.
"Nonsense!" The Demon King pointed a finger at the Rasengan in Minato Namikaze's hand.
The Rasengan exploded, and the massive shockwave blasted Minato Namikaze's body away.
However, Minato Namikaze, who was in the ruins, was unharmed.
Three Kunai imbued with special techniques had already been launched and planted in the corners of the battlefield.
His body flashed into mid-air, and he gathered another Rasengan in his hand, ready to attack.
"Father, stop!" Uzumaki Menma opened his eyes and called out to Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze stopped making dumplings and looked at him questioningly.
Beside Uzumaki Menma, Kushina Uzumaki had already begun using Ninjutsu to examine and treat him, but she couldn't find any injuries on his body.
"You? My memories!" Uzumaki Menma's eyes were vacant, the memories in his mind still constantly awakening, and he didn't know how to face his parents in front of him.
In his memory, he was merely a consciousness created by Uchiha Feng based on Uzumaki Menma, and he remained absolutely loyal to Uchiha Feng.
His objective was to trap Naruto Uzumaki, or at least prevent Naruto Uzumaki from appearing in the battle against the Sage of Six Paths.
However, he was hidden inside Naruto Uzumaki's body, and Ashura's sudden takeover of the body impacted his memories.
For some unknown reason, his memories were sealed away and are now slowly awakening.
"Menma? Are you alright?"
A warm hand was placed on the Uzumaki Menma forehead.
"Mom? I...!" Uzumaki Menma didn't know how to face Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Judging from their behavior, these two really treated him like their son.
That kind of care and love is absolutely genuine.
Deep down, however, he remained absolutely loyal to Uchiha Feng and was determined to carry out Naruto Uzumaki's order to trap Uchiha Feng.
"I'm fine. He didn't mean to hurt me. He was just helping me regain my memories. I've found a way to save Naruto Uzumaki," Uzumaki Menma explained, having made a decision.
If he sacrifices himself to trap Naruto Uzumaki, and then unseals Naruto Uzumaki after this battle, then he will have done right by Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
Most importantly, he was able to complete Uchiha Feng's mission.
His thoughts suddenly became much clearer. Once all the memories in his mind returned, he realized that it was Uchiha Feng had sealed his memories. This was because Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were able to read his memories after the seal was broken within the sealed space.
All of this was within Uchiha Feng's calculations.
The only unexpected thing was Nine-Tails's attitude. According to Uchiha Feng's plan, Nine-Tails should have sacrificed itself for Naruto Uzumaki in the end.
Now they need to kill Ashura, steal Naruto Uzumaki's body from him, and then he must voluntarily relinquish the shackles on his soul so that Naruto Uzumaki can continue to live.
Kushina Uzumaki stared intently at Uzumaki Menma, activating her senses to confirm that Uzumaki Menma was not under Genjutsu control and was not deceiving them.
Within the sealed space, after reading Uzumaki Menma's memories, Kushina Uzumaki did indeed treat Uzumaki Menma as her own child. However, having witnessed so many Genjutsu and conspiracies, she had to be cautious; there were too many old foxes in this world.
There's always a need for some preparation. That purple light from the Demon King just now didn't seem like a good thing either. Although Uzumaki Menma explained that it was helping him, we still need to confirm it.
Uzumaki Menma clearly sensed the sensory ability released by Kushina Uzumaki. This sensory ability not only possessed the talent of the Uzumaki Clan but also developed a part of the Nine-Tails' ability, allowing him to discern whether others were deceiving him.
He opened his heart without any shame, only concealing the crucial information that he would ultimately sacrifice himself.
The condition that Ashura must be killed as a sacrifice to reshape Naruto Uzumaki's body is revealed.
"I'm sorry, Menma, there are some things we need to confirm. I'm afraid you might be controlled by them too." Seeing Uzumaki Menma 'Kushina Uzumaki felt a pang of guilt.
Compared to Uzumaki Menma, doing this myself seems somewhat distrustful.
"It's alright, our most important thing right now is to take him down. Naruto needs his current body." Uzumaki Menma's expression was full of doting affection, as if he were the one who should be the parent.
"Menma? Who are they?" Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Uzumaki Menma and asked about the identities of the Demon King and the others.
"He's helping me, but he won't interfere with our enemies," Uzumaki Menma explained to Minato Namikaze, giving the Demon King an apologetic look.
"Remember your mission!" The Demon King nodded, noticing that the Uzumaki Menma had recovered and there was no sign of anything amiss.
This indicates that this outcome was still within Uchiha Feng's plan.
Since Uzumaki Menma didn't ask him for help, he went to complete his own task.
His body shot skyward, eager to savor his newly acquired power.
"Demon Wave!"
The Demon King, soaring through the air, had a purple halo behind his head—the true manifestation of his authority. This was a privilege he didn't receive in the Dragon Ball World, where he could never become a true god.
In this world, he has already gained its recognition.
When the Demon Wave in his hand lands on someone from the Sage of Six Paths' side, they will be transformed into purple-skinned demons.
In a short period of time, most of the fighting force on the Sage of Six Paths' side was converted.
