Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 363: Madara: My brother and father are in his hands!

There were continuous explosions in the forest.

Looking around, fierce battles were taking place almost everywhere along the several-kilometer-long front!

Black poisonous insects and highly toxic mist had occupied the battlefield at some point, causing any ninja who came into contact with them to fall to the ground. After struggling in pain for a few breaths, they were silent.

"It's the poisonous insect user Aburame Shiguro and the demigod Hanzo's salamander poison mist!"

At the rear command center, Shikaku frowned when he heard a ninja's report, and immediately arranged for Konoha's ninjas to gather information on the Second Ninja World War.

The Second Ninja World War was initiated by the Rain Country. In order to deal with Hanzo, who was at the peak of his power at the time, Konoha naturally conducted targeted research on Hanzo's abilities.

Tsunade played a big role in this.

The antidote she developed played an important role in enabling the three ninjas to fight to exhaustion before being defeated.

Although it is not a complete solution, it can at least delay it for a long time.

After making a plan to deal with Hanzo, Shikaku found another ninja from the Aburame clan and asked, "Does your clan have any way to deal with Shiguro's poisonous insects?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Shikaku, but the clan doesn't have a plan to deal with Shikuro's ability. But if you give us some of his poisonous insects, we might be able to develop one that can restrain him."

Shikaku nodded upon hearing this, "Call all the Aburame on the front lines and immediately develop a plan to restrain them."

"Yes!"

After the Oil Ninja retreated, Shikaku rubbed his brows tiredly.

So far it's all bad news. Although he had made preparations before the war, the current situation still caught him off guard.

The era of the five great nations has indeed long passed.

"Shikaku-sama, Sandaime-sama is here with reinforcements and supplies."

An hour later, a ninja came to report.

"Ok?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Shikaku looked at him in confusion, "Reinforcements?"

The Third Hokage is now in charge of logistics, and there are some ninjas who obey his orders, but what’s the use of having so few people come to reinforce?

Shikaku was full of questions, but soon his doubts were answered.

"Yes, Lord Shikaku. Lord Sandaime brought an army of clones, as well as wanted members of the Akatsuki organization," the ninja replied with a strange look on his face.

God knows how horrified he was when he saw the Third Hokage with members of the Akatsuki organization.

Fortunately, he found that the Third Hokage's expression was not good, and it was obvious that the other party was not in collusion with the Akatsuki organization.

When Lu Jiu heard this, a hint of surprise and realization flashed in his eyes.

"Akatsuki organization?"

That's right, at this point, if the Akatsuki organization didn't take any action, he would instead suspect that they had already been annihilated by Hinata Yu.

It’s just that Akatsuki came to support them... It’s really hard to laugh at.

After pondering for a moment, Shikaku thought of the Raikage with a strange attitude, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Take me to see them."

Shikaku followed the ninja and walked quickly towards the tent where the Third Hokage was, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The arrival of Akatsuki is definitely not good news. The Raikage and Akatsuki have a deep hatred for each other. If the two meet, I'm afraid they will fight to the death.

And if they ignore each other and live in peace, the problem is even bigger.

That means the Raikage might have already...

Shaking his head secretly, Shikaku walked into the tent under the guidance of the ninja, and saw the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen at a glance.

He was wearing the Hokage cloak, and although he was old, he was still energetic and his eyes were sharp.

Next to the Third Hokage stood several figures dressed in red clouds and black robes. They were the members of the Akatsuki organization - Pein, Konan, and Shinichi. "Shikaku." The Third Hokage spoke first, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, "They are carrying the Raikage's token. The situation is urgent. The moment they came to my door, I had no other choice."

Shikaku nodded slightly to show his understanding, then his eyes swept over the members of the Akatsuki organization, finally stopping on Tendo Pain.

"Nagato-sama," Shikaku said solemnly, "I never thought we would meet in this way."

Nagato nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shikaku, although our Akatsuki organization has many grievances with Konoha, when facing a common enemy, we may be able to temporarily put aside our prejudices. Otherwise..."

"No need to say more, I understand!" Shikaku sighed and interrupted directly: "The Raikage... since you have come to our door, it means that he has been controlled by you, right? I don't believe he will trust you. But now that the Land of Lightning is controlled by you, we have no room to stop... I will not say any more."

Tian Dao nodded indifferently and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is indeed rational. I hope that we can cooperate sincerely before the Snow Country falls."

"..."

Shikaku looked at him expressionlessly and did not answer.

The people in the Akatsuki organization also understood his feelings, and tactfully left here and headed for the defense line, leaving the Sandaime and Shikaku alone.

The two looked at each other without speaking.

After a moment, the third generation shook his head and said with emotion: "Since the outcome will be determined by a single battle, it would be better for everyone to participate."

"Yes."

Shikaku nodded slightly, and the scene became quiet again.

……

The Third Hokage brought reinforcements to the Akatsuki organization and a large amount of supplies, including Tsunade's special antidote.

Although these antidotes cannot completely break Hanzo's poison mist, they can at least temporarily relieve the symptoms of the poisoned ninjas and buy time for ninjas from various countries to deal with Hanzo.

The most crucial thing is the reinforcements of the Akatsuki organization. Several people in the Akatsuki organization are strong men above the level of Kage. Tendou became even more powerful after Nagato became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

With their support, the command center blocked the attack from the Snow Country.

Senju Tobirama and Minato crossed paths, looked at Tendou who was rushing to the battlefield in the distance, and narrowed his eyes, "You are coming so fast."

When Minato saw Tendo looking for Hanzo, he frowned and felt a little complicated, but considering that they were here on the battlefield, he did not let his emotions get the better of him and turned his attention back to Senju Tobirama.

"It seems you can't break through here."

"If it were just me and Hanzo and the others, that would be the case."

Senju Tobirama did not refute, "But you can only defend this place."

Unfortunately, Madara was determined to cause trouble for Orochimaru, but was stopped by his eldest brother, otherwise, even a single Heavenly Dao would not have been able to stop them.

However, this may not be a bad thing. He was not sure that he could control Madara all the time during the battle. If he found an opportunity to break free from his control at this moment, it would still be a trouble later.

……

"Madara, why are you here?"

"Hashirama, this is the same question I want to ask. Can Orochimaru control you?"

"According to him, he possessed a person who could perfectly transplant the Sharingan and my cells. His strength is not weak. If he really wants to control me, he should be able to do it."

On a cliff some distance away from the battlefield, Madara and Hashirama sat opposite each other, neither of them having any intention of fighting.

"Even if he can control you, unless he tampered with the sacrifice like your brother did, he can only control you for a moment at most."

Madara's face turned dark, "Get out of the way, I don't want to fight you now, I want to kill Orochimaru!"

Hashirama scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you so determined to kill him?"

"The Impure World Ninjas in his hands include my brother and my father!"
