Menma read all the names on the graves. Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Hinata Hyuga. 'Don't worry everyone. I won't let what happen to you happen to anyone else. Your deaths won't be in vain.'-Menma.

The sky indicated it was late in the afternoon and the sun was setting. Menma stepped away from the graves and started walking towards the exit.

Suigetsu and Mina down the hallways and was preparing herself. 'Tsunades gonna be really mad this time.'-Shizune. Shizune walked around the construction workers and walked into the Hokage's office.

Tsunade noticed her walking in and asked, "So is Menma coming?"-Tsunade. Shizune gulped and responded, "No, he already left the village with Suigetsu and Mina.

Tsunade took a deep breath and Shizune prepared herself for a lot of yelling. But nothing ever came. Shizune opened her eyes and saw Tsunade sigh. "Oh well, it can't be helped. I guess this is just a habit of Menma."-Tsunade.

Shizune sighed in relief and started walking out of the office, but she was stopped when she heard the sound of wood being destroyed. "SO I GUESS I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO BEAT IT INTO HIM!"-Tsunade.

On A Road Leading To The Sound Village

While Menma Suigetsu and Mina were walking down the road towards the hidden sound village a thought popped up in Suigetsu's head, "We should come up with a name for our group!"-Suigetsu.

Menma looked at him with a curious look and asked, "Like the sannin or something?"-Menma. Suigetsu nodded his head.

Menma started thinking about a name and said, "How about we call ourself Kitsune?"-Menma. "Mmmhmmm. The name sounds cool but why Fox?"-Suigetsu.

"Well the main reason I formed this group is to hunt down Orochimaru. And he's very fond and similar to snakes, and Foxes hunt snakes."-Menma.

"Yes but a lot of animals hunt down snakes, like hawks. I think Taka sounds cooler. Mina stepped in and said, "Another reason our group will be called Kitsune is because Menma lost a friend to Orochimaru who was a fox."-Mina.

Menma's head lowered at the mention of his old friend and he thought back to when he had that vision. 'I have to go to Jotunheim.'-Menma.

Suigetsu understood and said, "Well I guess it's settled then, we'll be Kitsune then."-Suigetsu.

Menma forced a cheerful smile on his face and said, "His name was Kurama he was my bestfriend. And he is 1 of the many people I've lost to that bastard. I've lost someone who was like a grandfather to me, a friend, 2 teammates, and worst of all... my own brother. I guess you could say that's why I'm so intent on hunting him down."-Menma.

Suigetsu remained quiet after hearing that. He could relate to losing a brother. "Ya know, I also lost my brother. His name Was Mangetsu Hozuki, when we were both younger we both had the dream of becoming members of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. And eventually he became one of the members, he weirded this blade." Suigetsu said pointing at the executioner's blade on his back. Suigetsu frowned, "But then they betrayed him. He was the strongest one among them, so they had him framed for a crime he didn't commit. And they sent multiple platoons to take him down." Suigetsu smiled, "He put up a great fight, he never gave up up until his last breath. He came close to defeating them all, but he eventually died of chakra exhaustion... I still don't know why they betrayed him, whether it was jealousy of his natural skill, or his mastery of their own blades. I don't know, but what I do know is that I'm gonna get those blades so that they aren't used like that ever again."-Suigetsu.

Menma and Mina looked at Suigetsu with a newfound respect for him. Menma looked at Mina and asked, "So why do you still stick around? You're free to go wherever you want. And you don't owe us anything."-Menma.

"Well... I don't know. I'm not interested in being a ninja, but I'm not interested in living as basic of a life as a villager. So I just wanna be with you guys, you're my friends."-Mina.

Menma accepted that answer and looked up at a sign ahead. "We're only a couple miles away from the hidden Sound Village now. You said all of the hideouts are in this country?"-Menma. Suigetsu nodded.

Over To Itachi And Kisame

The last remaining Akatsuki duo was currently walking down a path towards the Hidden Cloud Village. They continued walking but were interrupted when they were surrounded on both sides by bandits.

"Stop right there unless you have a death wish! Now, give us any valuables you have! Rings, jewels, anything."-Bandit.

Itachi sighed and Kisame chuckled under his breath. All of the bandits maintained their glares until one of them took a good look at them. The frightened bandit started tapping their leaders shoulder and they asked, "What do you want?!"-Bandit.

The scared man pointed at their clothes and said, "Don't you recognize those robes?! Tha-that's the Akatsuki!"-Bandit2.

After he said that everyone else took a better look at their prey and got scared. Kisame smiled and gripped his sword, "So you finally figured it out. So can we just go on our way, or are we gonna have to fight?"-Kisame.

The leader of the group didn't seem frightened at all and smiled, "Well you aren't the only ninja, I use to be a chunin! So I don't know why you're so confident, cause we're going to kill you!"-Bandit.

Kisame smirked and asked, "Who's we?"-Kisame. The bandit lost his smile and looked around himself and realized that everyone ran away. The bandit turned back towards them and yelled, "Tsst! This won't be the last time we meet! Consider yourselves lucky!"-Bandit.

Aa the bandit was running away he yelled, "The names Sado, don't forget!"-Sado. Kisame released his grip on his blade and laughed, "Well that was amusing."-Kisame.

Itachi "hned" in response and continued down the road. Kisame followed after him and said, "So what did this "contact" of yours tell you?"-Kisame.

Itachi looked at him and told him." We're going to the Hidden Cloud Village to gather information about the 8 tails. But why did you say it like that?"-Itachi. Kisame continued looking towards the road and said, "I just feel a little skeptical about whether you met a contact or not yesterday. And 2 of our members died yesterday."-Kisame.

Itachi looked back towards the road and responded, "I'm not sure why you'd think that. But leave those thoughts for another time, we have to capture the 8 tails."-Itachi. Kisame grunted and complied.

Kitsune At The Leaf And Sound Border

The group of 3 arrived at the border and once they crossed it they were greeted by what looked like 3 ninja.

The ninja stopped them and asked, "What is your business here?"-Ninja. Menma showed them the leaf headband around his neck and responded, "We're here to hunt down a missing nin who's been hiding in this village."-Menma.

The first ninja narrowed his eyes at them and asked, "Do you have papers with you as proof?" Menma shook his head, "No, we didn't have time."-Menma.

The second ninja shook his head and said, "You need proof if you want to enter the village." Menma sighed and said, "Come on, there's gotta be a way you can let us in?"-Menma.

All 3 of the ninjas grew a grin and started circling them. The first ninja said "Well there is 1 thing you can do." The other ninja grabbed Mina's shoulder and said, "Yeah, how about you let us borrow her for a while. Then we'll let you go in the village."

Menma sighed in mild annoyance and said, "Ya know what? We'll just go back to our village and get those papers."-Menma stated as he started walking back in the direction of the village.

But he was interrupted when he felt a blade on his throat. "It wasn't a question."-Ninja3. Suigetsu gripped his blade and spoke with suppressed annoyance and anger, "How about this. We forget this whole thing happened, and I let you keep your heads?"-Suigetsu.

The 3 ninja stood silent for a second, but then they started laughing. And while they were laughing Mina grabbed the arm on her shoulder and broke it. The man screamed, and Mina side kicked him away from her.

Next she ran at the next one before he could prepare and she kicked him in the groin. Once he fell to the ground she axed kicked him and his face slammed into the ground.

The last one ran towards her but she used his momentum against him and tripped him. He fell to the ground and Mina stomped on his head a few times before he was unconscious.

Mina calmed down and looked over at Menma and Suigetsu to see that they both had surprised expression. "What? Just because I'm a woman and I like buying a lot of clothes I don't know how to defend myself?"-Mina.

Both Menma and Suigetsu snapped out of it and quickly put up their hands in defence, "No no no! It's not like that, it's just"-" hahaha, I'm just kidding. C'mon"."-Mina.

"Wait, let me do one thing first."-Menma stated as he walked up to the only ninja who was still conscious and activated his EMS. He used Kotoamatsukami and said, "You won't tell anyone that we were here." He was about to leave but another thing crossed his mind. "Hey bud, here's some advice coming from another man. Think less with your dick and more with your head"-Menma stated as he stood up followed behind Suigetsu and Mina.

"That was corny."-Suigetsu. Menma laughed nervously and said, "Yeah, I know, but I couldn't come up with anything else. Either way the message should have gotten across."-Menma.

As they were walking in the village they noticed that it looked very similar to Konoha. They arrived at giant fountain in the middle of the village and Menma said, "Alright, let's all split up. One of us will need to get us a place to sleep and the other will need to go gather information while I get familiar with the place."-Menma.

They both stood there nervous for a second and one of them spoke up, "Uh, Menma, look at the sky."-Suigetsu. Menma did what he said and noticed it was nighttime. Menma laughed nervously and said, "Oh, well in that case let's just find a place to sleep."-Menma.

Kitsune started making their way down a street and were searching the buildings signs for one that said hotel. "Don't you know where anything here is?"-Menma.

"Of course not! I was shipped between hideouts, I didn't just go on strolls in the town."-Suigetsu. "Haha, oh right that makes more sense."-Menma.

They continued walking and eventually Menma stopped looking at the street signs and looked at the people around him. They all looked gloomy and mad at the same time while also looking Mischievous. He noticed a red haired woman walk into an alleyway with grocery bags and felt like his left arm tugged towards her. "Hey guys, go ask around to see if anyone knows where a hotel is. Imma go check something out.

They both compiled and Menma followed after the woman. He peeked around the corner and saw her make a turn deeper into the alley. He caught up to her and jumped onto a building. While she was walking Menma got a better look at her.

She had mature defined features and was very beautiful and had straight upper back length red hair to compliment it, along with matching scarlet eyes. She had a cautious look on her face and started jogging towards the exit of the alley.

But before she could make it, a man stopped her and she backed up until she accidentally walked into another man. She backed away from them both and of the bulky men said, "Your protection money is due."

She shook her head and said, "I don't have the money right now, please give me another we"-"Uh uh uh, you know the rules. We don't do late fees." The man said as he took a step forward.

She stepped back and said, "Please! Just give me some extra time, I promise it won't happen again!" The man shook his head and they both took a step forward. "I don't know missy. Maybe if you trade us that daughter of yours you won't have to worry about protection money for the next couple of years."

The woman revolted and said, "No way! There's no way I could do that! Anything but that!" The man stroked his chin and both the men looked at each other and grinned.

Menma at the moment was holding himself from jumping down to see what would happen. The 2 men examined the woman head to toe and said, "Well there is one thing you could do." The man stated as he put a hand on her shoulder.

The woman quickly knew what he was referring to and jerked herself back, "No. C'mon, there's gotta be another way!" The other man shook his head and said, "Sorry, it's either this, or we let those fancy police capture... and we'll take your daughter."

The key word Daughter seemed to trigger something and the woman looked down. She contemplated and looked back up and said, "Ok, I'll do it as long as it's for my daughter..."

Menma saw enough and jumped down into the alley. All 3 of them noticed him and one of them said, "Doppo, take care of him. No witnesses." The man now known as doppo pulled out a machete and said, "Got it Hakura."

"Don't get involved! You don't know what you're dealing with!"-woman. Menma's face expressed his determination and he said, "I know I don't, but what kind of person would I be if I didn't help anyway?"-Menma.

Doppo ran at Menma and slashed down at Menma. Menma sidestepped it and punched the brute in the gut. He fell to the floor and Menma blitzed the other in his gut. He also fell and Menma looked at both of them and activated his EMS. 'God I wish I could just beat both of you to the point where you could barely breathe, but if I do that your people will suspect something. And i don't want to heal you so...' "You will go back to where you came from and forget this woman ever existed."-Menma.

Both the men stood up and started walking away while Menma looked at the women who had an amazed look on her face. 'Those eyes... they're so similar too...'-Minako.

"Don't worry miss, they won't ever come back to bother you again."-Menma. The woman still seemed nervous and said, "You didn't have to do that."

"Of course I did, I'm not just gonna stand by and watch if I have the power to interfere. I've already seen this kinda thing happen before and I don't wanna see it again."-Menma.

The woman asked a bit at the sentence and looked at him with awe. 'That's just like my husband Kagami.' Menma started feeling uncomfortable under her gaze and said, "So what's your name?"-Menma. She snapped out of it and answered, "My name is Minako."

"No last name?"-Menma. "I'd rather not say."-Minako. Menma realized what he said, "Oh sorry, that's a weird question to ask."-Menma. "Oh no! It's not that, it's just that... my name is dangerous for me and my daughter."-Minako.

"Oh, that's understandable. Anyways who were those guys?"-Menma. Minako looked surprised, "How do you not know them? They are the most well known group here."-Minako.

"Haha, well sorry but I'm new here. I'm gonna be staying here for about a month. So who are they?"-Menma. "They are part of a gang called Hagetaka. They have members from as small as mailman to as big as political officials. The only thing that stops them from ruling the village is our hardened leader Orochimaru, and no one likes him either."-Minako.

"Why don't people like either of them?"-Menma. "Well, I would love to tell you. But it's getting late."-Minako.

Before Menma could respond Suigetsu and Mina ran towards him and Suigstsu said, "Everyone here are just a bunch of dicks! No one would answer our question."-Suigetsu.

"What are you looking for."-Minako. "We're looking for a place to sleep. So I had them ask people if there was a hotel anywhere."-Menma.

"Oh, well sorry but this village doesn't have any hotels. They've all been converted into warehouses."-Minako. All of Kitsune got into a orz position and accepted defeat. "I guess we'll have to sleep on the street."-Menma.

"No! You all can come live at my house. I have a couple of vacant rooms."-Minako. Suigetsu smiled and said, we would love"-"No, you already have money problems. I don't wanna bother you with having more mouths to feed."-Menma.

Suigetsu looked at Menma with surprise and Minako said, "Nonsense! After what you've just done for me this is the least I can do!"-Minako demanded with determination. Suigetsu was tugging at Menma's hand in a way a child would when asking for a toy and was whispering in his ear, "Please say yes please say yes please say yes.."-Suigetsu. Menma sighed and said, "You aren't gonna take no for an answer are you?"-Menma.

Minako shook her head and Menma walked up to her, "Alright then, lead the way."-Menma.

Minako's Home

Minako opened the front door and invited them in. They walked inside and took in the atmosphere. The floor was brown hardwood and the walls and ceiling are a pale color. Suigetsu walked up to a fish tank and looked at it.

Mina saw a hat rack and started walking towards it with a smile on her face, but Menma grabbed her and Suigetsu and they started following Minako in the hallway.

While they were walking down the hallway Menma's left arm felt weird and he looked down at it. He stopped walking and the seal showed itself.

Menma faced towards the door on his left and the seal started glowing. "C'mon Menma, your rooms this way. That's my daughters room."-Minako.

"Huh? Oh right, sorry."-Menma. Menma walked towards her and she pointed at 2 doors and said, "2 in one room and 1 in the other."-Minako.

Menma was the first to decide and said, "I'll take the room on my left for myself."-Menma. Suigetsu tried to protest and said, "C'mon, we can't be do"-"Sorry Suigetsu, I'm not doing this for the reason you think I am. I just don't want to wake one of you up in the middle of the night due to night terrors."-Menma. Suigetsu remained silent and Menma walked into his room.

Menma took off his cloak and got comfortable. 'It's time for another night of torture.'-Menma.

The Next Day

Menma woke up in the morning and instinctively rubbed his forehead. After a second Menma realized there was no sweat on his forehead. 'No sweat?'-Menma. Menma looked outside the window and noticed it was daytime.

"I... I didn't have any night terrors... I didn't have a night terror!"-Menma. Menma smiled and put his cloak on. 'It must be because I've mastered sage jutsu. Fukasaku says it heals the mind and soul.'-Menma.

Menma confirmed that that must have been the reason and walked out of his room. While walking down the hallway he saw that a door was open and he peeked inside.

Inside the door he saw a head of red hair that was facing the opposite direction as him. Menma sensed someone turning the corner to his right and quickly jolted back.

Minako turned around the hall and said, "Good morning Menma! Your 2 friends already left out, they said something about gathering info. But since you're still here, can you help me with some chores?"-Minako.

"Of course! What kind of chores?"-Menma. "Things like house chores and grocery shopping."-Minako. "Huh? Didn't you go grocery shopping yesterday?"-Menma.

"Yes I did but... well, you'll know when we get there. Come now!"-Minako. Menma followed behind her and they started walking outside, but before they could make it outside something caught Menma's eyes and he looked towards the source.

He saw a picture on the dresser and picked it up, it was Minako wearing a princess dress with her daughter. The daughter had neck length red hair and dazzling greenish blue eyes. In the picture she seemed to be a baby.

There was also another person, it was a man standing next to Minako. He had curly onyx hair with matching vantablack eyes. Something about his facial complexion reminded Menma of someone.

Menma felt a poke on his shoulder and he looked up. Minako took the picture from him and set it back on the table. "Come on."-Minako.

Menma followed behind her and they entered the backyard. Menma quickly noticed that there was no backyard and only saw a giant clearing before him. "Uhhhh, where's the backyard?"-Menma.

Minako looked at him confused and Menma explained, "Well I thought that there would be a yard back here where we would pick strawberries or something, but all I'm seeing is a clearing."-Menma.

Minako smiled and laughed some before grabbing some seeds and giving them to Menma. "Plant these seeds throughout the clearing."-Minako. "What kind of seeds are they?"-Menma.

"They're different kinds of tree seeds. And if you're wondering why we're planting trees then start planting and I'll tell you."-Minako. Menma complied and started working. First he would dig out small holes to put the seeds in, then he would cover it back up and use a small water jutsu on it.

"So why are we planting these trees?"-Menma. "Planting these trees will help out both the animals and the people. People just need to realize that you can't just cut down all the trees in such a short amount of time or else they won't be able to grow back, then this land will be a flat plane and all the animals will have to go somewhere else. Then no one will be able to hunt and everyone will starve."-Minako.

Menma remained silent for a second then he made a hand sign. As soon as he did the ground started shaking and Minako stopped what she was doing. "I would back up if I were you."-Menma.

Minako complied and as soon as she got away from the area trees sprouted from the ground and what was previously a plain lifeless terrain was now a flourishing forest. "That should take care of everything. Now all the animals will have a habitat again, but you should teach people not to destroy everything at once." Menma walked towards her and asked, "So what's the next chore?"-Menma.

Minako smiled and looked at the trees. "They're already bearing fruit! What kind of power is that?"-Minako. "Well it's called wood release, but the name kinda gives away the main power. But it also let's me heal faster so that's a plus!"-Menma.

"Well we should go get the groceries now."-Minako stated as she started walking away. Menma followed behind her and they arrived on an open street.

"So why are you getting groceries?"-Menma. Minako sighed and said, "You sure ask a lot of questions don't you?"-Minako. Menma put his head down and said, "Sorry, but I just want to help in anyway so that's why i want to know as much as possible."-Menma.

Minako waved him off and said, "No need to be sorry, I understand." Minako cleared her throat, "I'm taking this food to a group of homeless people I know."-Minako.

This peaked Menma's interest and he asked, "Why is that?"-Menma. "You'll find out why."-Minako.

30 Minutes Later

"Menma, you got the apples right?"-Minako. Menma checked the bag. 'Alright there's bananas, pickles, oranges, grapes, strawberries... Where's the apples?' Menma realized there were no apples and quickly looked around himself. 'Okay so where's another fruit stand? Vegetable stand, meat stand, trading stand, ramen stand, that actually sounds nice. Wait I can't be doing that now, uhhh soup stand, wait why would there be a stand for only soup?'-Menma.

Menma tried looking around for another stand but eventually gave up. Minako turned around and asked, "Well is there?"-Minako. "Y-yes there is!"-Menma. Minako turned around and Menma thought, 'Okay I'm gonna have to come up with something. Okay think'... "The trees are already bearing fruit."

A lightbulb just went off in Menma's head and he got an idea. Menma raised his hand and wood came out of it. He made a small tree in his hand and 3 apples grew out of it.

He picked the apples and put them in the bag. 'So I can make my own food now huh? That's useful.'-Menma.

Minako and Menma turned a corner and they went down an alley. She pulled a pair of keys and opened a door. They both walked inside and Menma came face to face with multiple different people.

Minako walked past him and sat all of the groceries on the table. "Are all of these people homeless?"-Menma. Minako nodded her head and said, "Yes, they all have their own stories on how they ended up like this, but I'm in no place to tell you."-Minako.

All 20 of the homeless people stood up and started eating. Menma looked around and was thinking about what he could do.

He walked up to a random man that had a woman feeding him and tried to start a conversation. "Hey sir, my names Menma, what's yours?"-Menma.

The woman stopped feeding the man and he looked up at him. Menma could get a good look at him now and saw that he was a wrinkly old man in his 50's with a calm look on his face. "My names Akiro. I assume you want to know how I got here correct?" Menma nodded and Akiro cleared his throat.

"It's a pretty short story. I use to work at a hospital as a surgeon among other things. I was one of the best surgeons they had, and I had a high class home. Then one day a member of Hagetaka came to me with one of their friends. His friend was bleeding out of multiple stab wounds and he told me to save his life or else something bad would happen... and well, his friend was dead before he even got to me. But when I told him that it was too late he didn't accept that answer and did this to me."-Akiro stated as he raised his arms to show that he had no hands.

Menma gasped and Akiro continued, "After that I lost my job. And there's almost no job out there that doesn't require hands, and for the ones that did they wouldn't hire me because they knew about my encounter with those brutes of a gang. So that's how I ended up like this. And everyone else is here for similar reasons."-Akiro.

Menma got angered by the thoughts of what the gang could have done to these other people and asked, "Was the Hagetaka gang always like that?"-Menma.

Akiro shook his head and said, "No, they use to be a group loved by all. They use to be called Kawasemi because of what the kingfishers bird was known for. But now they're called Hagetaka which means vulture... They also had a leader that was extremely powerful. He liberated us from a corrupt Daimyo only using Taijutsu! We thought he would take over, but once our land was liberated the leader left the village to go on a journey."-Akiro.

"And what caused them to change?"-Menma. The man laughed a little and said, "Well it turns out it takes a lot of money to rule a land that's probably one of the things that the previous leader knew. After they liberated us our country became poor and they became desperate. Eventually a pale man came to this land and took it over. They easily accepted his rule and served under him. We thought things would get better but they only got worse, the new ruler placed us under unfair rules and would rob us of our children in the middle of the night. We tried to revolt but the men of Hagetaka would suppress us with violence and worse laws, if we could leave we would but we can't... the new rulers name is"-"Orochimaru."-Menma.

Akiro looked up and asked, "You know about him?"-Akiro. Menma nodded his head and said, "A little too well. That's the reason why I came here in the first place. I'm gonna get rid of him."-Menma.

Akiro stroked his beard and said, "hmmm, that's quite a big goal. No one even knows where he lives."-Akiro. "Well I didn't come alone. I have someone with me who used to be one of his prisoners."-Menma.

"Yes that will be helpful. I hope you succeed."-Akiro. Menma was about to leave him alone but had one more question, "So, when Hagetaka was good you said they had a different leader. Tell me something about him."-Menma.

"Hmmmm. Well, he stood at around 6'5 and he was extraordinarily muscular. He was inhumanely muscular! He was dark skinned and had a thin mustache. Also he must have been the greatest Taijutsu user to have ever existed. I don't think he can mold chakra, cause he never uses it at all. One time I saw him fighting someone, he missed a punch and the air pressure from his punch knocked down a tree! I believe he had a good heart, but when he met someone that he believed would put up a great fight he would lose some of his morals. He wouldn't kill them but he would go to great lengths to fight them. His name was Olivia."-Akiro.

Menma had a look of awe on his face and asked, "Can you give me another example of how powerful he is?"-Menma. "Well possibly one of the most Intimidating thing I've seen he do is cut someone's head clean off with his hand."-Akiro.

Menma laughed nervously and said, "Wow, well I'm glad someone like him didn't end up evil."-Menma. Menma was about to walk off but Akiro said, "Wait! Since I told you so much how about you tell me why you want to go after Orochimaru?"-Akiro.

Menma sighed and said, "Well, he came to my village and did a lot of bad things. 6 people dear to me are dead because of him. And he's gonna pay for that."-Menma.

Akiro turned his head back to his food and said, "Well I'm glad I met you Menma, hopefully I'll see you again."-Akiro. Menma smiled and said, "Don't worry I'll come back to tell you about my progress sometime In the future."-Menma stated as he walked off. Minako smiled after hearing the entire conversation and said, "I'm glad that you're getting to know these people."-Minako.

"Yeah, but why don't you teach some of the capable ones how to hunt and fish for food? They have to be able to take care of themselves in some way."-Menma.

Minako sighed and said, "Well I would love to. But Hagetaka are the only ones who have any of those things, so I can't buy any."-Minako.

"Hmmm, well where do they keep the supplies?"-Menma. "They keep it in warehouse 3, but it's heavily guarded so there's no point in trying. Besides"- Minako stopped talking when she looked in the direction of Menma and realized he was already gone. "Damn it."-Minako.

One Of Menma's Torture Rooms

Menma took off his surgical glove and dug his hand into the nape of someone's neck. Once he found their spinal cord he grasped it and pulled it all the way out along with the skull.

The victim screamed with unimaginable pain and Menma wrapped the spinal cord around his mouth and hung him from the ceiling to suffocate. Eventually his soul passed out and Menma sighed. "This technique doesn't feel the same way it used to." Menma picked up a hammer and some nails, "I guess I'm gonna have to try something else!"-Menma.
