After sacrificing nearly all his potential, Menma was brought to Root. On the eve of his escape, he gave his life just to see Naruto one last time. Then Li Kan took over his body. The new Menma swore he would never play the saint again.
Naruto: "Big Brother, didn't you promise to protect me?"
Menma: "The Fourth Hokage's son, the young master of Konoha. Who said I was your brother?"
