Chapter 151 Genichi Under the Tree, Nagato, and Madara Uchiha (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Genichi Kinoshita doesn't have time to worry about the Akatsuki organization right now.

Because nothing can be changed.

He couldn't kill Nagato in advance and seize the Rinnegan, nor could he persuade Nagato and the others to join Konoha with words.

If we meet again in the future, we might be enemies.

With Danzo causing trouble in the Land of Rain, Genichi Kinoshita and Ina Uzumaki crossed the Land of Rain at top speed and arrived at the border of the Land of Birds.

Hidden in a mountain cave, Xuan Yi clasped his hands together under a tree, activating his Heavenly Eye to perceive a wide range of things.

A moment later, his senses directly enveloped the Sand Village and Iwa Village armies that were still locked in a standoff.

"This is……"

Genichi under the tree suddenly opened his eyes.

Uzumaki Ina quickly asked, "Genichi, what's wrong?"

Genichi smiled and said, "I've sensed an interesting person."

"The Fourth Hokage of Sunagakure!"

Uzumaki Ina exclaimed in surprise, "The Fourth Kazekage, isn't he in Sunagakure? There's already a ceasefire here, so even if it's for peace talks, he wouldn't need to personally intervene, would he?"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Unless it's not just ordinary peace talks."

Uzumaki Ina worried, "Could it be that Sunagakure is really going to form an alliance with Iwagakure? They just finished a war!"

Genichi Shushita said calmly, "In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"Interest can make people temporarily put hatred and everything else aside."

After finishing speaking, Genichiro began to perceive the situation in Iwagakure more precisely.

He didn't have information about the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki's, chakra, but his Heavenly Eye perception could "see" the outline of a person's height, weight, and build.

Onoki is so easy to recognize.

Sure enough, he found Onoki very quickly.

The presence of two villages on the front lines suggests either an impending major battle or a clandestine conspiracy.

Moreover... the troop strength of Sunagakure and Iwagakure that I sensed was also abnormal.

Sunagakure is indeed withdrawing its troops.

According to Root's intelligence, at its peak, this place was home to more than five thousand Sand Ninja.

There are only about 1,500 Sand Ninja left.

It doesn't seem like anything.

However, if the goal is not to continue fighting against Iwagakure, then this number would be far too many.

There are also about nine hundred soldiers on the Iwagakure side.

This number is not the number to be negotiated.

After a moment of thought, Uzumaki Ina exclaimed in surprise, "Genichi, does Iwagakure intend to attack the Land of Rain together with Sunagakure?"

Shuxia Gen nodded: "Based on the intelligence we have so far, there is a 90% chance that this is the case."

"Ina, I need you to return to the village immediately and report this matter to the Third Hokage."

"Furthermore, I would like to remind the Third Hokage that Sunagakure is very likely to be fighting on two fronts. The joint attack by Sunagakure and Iwagakure may be an attempt to draw the attention of the villages and create an opportunity for the Land of Rivers."

Uzumaki Ina nodded emphatically: "Yes, I understand!"

Xuan Yi immediately raised one hand under the tree.

Uzumaki Ina vanished from her spot in an instant.

This is an application of the Flying Thunder God technique that Genichi Kyo recently developed.

It originates from the original Flying Thunder God technique, Lightning Guide.

The Lightning Guide can redirect enemy attacks, such as Tailed Beast Balls, to locations marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol.

Genichi Shushita used this to develop the "teleportation" technique, specifically for sending people away.

He can teleport anyone who has come into contact with his chakra or possesses the Flying Thunder God mark to a location that also possesses the Flying Thunder God mark.

At the same time, he himself does not need to leave.

After sending Uzumaki Ina back to Konoha, Genichi Koushi created another shadow clone and left.

The situation in Sunagakure and Iwagakure must be communicated to Amegakure and that old bastard Danzo.

After the shadow clone left, Genichi Kishita pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed: "Danzo, did he accidentally hit the jackpot?"

"fair enough."

The more correct Danzo is now, the more it highlights Hiruzen Sarutobi's flawed decisions.

The more Danzo reasoned, the more justifiable his position became in forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi to abdicate.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's age, he could still serve as Hokage for many more years.

To be honest, Hiruzen Sarutobi is pretty good.

However, for Genichi Kinoshita, Tsunade would certainly be a better choice as Hokage.

Therefore, he wanted to use Danzo to force Hiruzen Sarutobi to abdicate as soon as possible.

Surely we can't just seize power through a coup d'état?
But would Danzo be willing to watch Tsunade rise to power?
"Heh heh, Danzo, don't let me beat you up for nothing..."

Xuan Yi's figure disappeared from the spot under the tree.

There's no need to infiltrate Sunagakure or Iwagakure's camps anymore.

The next target: the battlefield in the Land of Earth.

……

The country of rain, the village hidden in the rain.

A figure suddenly appeared in the heavily guarded area.

"who?"

With a loud shout, the sound of air being torn apart rang out, and a large number of Rain Ninja appeared, surrounding the suddenly appearing figure.

Several Root ninjas then appeared, and upon seeing that figure, their pupils constricted sharply, and their hearts skipped a beat without them even bracing themselves.

"Don't make a move! He...he's Genichi Kinoshita!"

A squad leader from the root unit shouted.

Inside the attic, Hanzo and Danzo, who were having a discussion, heard the commotion and got up to come out.

Upon seeing the person in question, Genichi Shushita removed his mask.

Danzo asked expressionlessly, "Kushita Genichi, what are you doing here?"

Although it was a question, he seemed a little unsure of himself.

Although there were many people here, he was still somewhat wary of Genichi Shuxia.

Ignoring Danzo, Genichi Kishita looked at Hanzo and said, "Lord Hanzo, I am Genichi Kishita, the captain of the Anbu directly under the Third Hokage of Konoha."

"I have been ordered to gather intelligence on Sunagakure and Iwagakure. I am now formally issuing a reminder to my allies."

"Sunagakure and Iwagakure have secretly formed an alliance, and the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage personally met in secret to discuss the matter."

"It has been decided that we will join forces to attack the Land of Rain."

"Both sides will have more than two thousand troops in the initial stages!"

Hanzo's expression changed: "Just as I expected!"

He quickly regained his composure and looked at Xuan Yi under the tree with great appreciation: "Thank you."

"Please convey my gratitude to the Hokage on my behalf!"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "I'll definitely bring it!"

After saying that, the person has disappeared.

Danzo's expression changed at first, but then he was secretly overjoyed.

He never expected that he would stumble upon such a perfect opportunity.

The combined attack on the Land of Rain by the Sand Village and the Stone Village is advantageous to him.

Only in war can his value be demonstrated, and his power restored, or even strengthened.

This is also why he wanted to provoke Hanzo; the Rinnegan was just one of the incidental targets.

As for Genichi Kinoshita ignoring him, Danzo deliberately ignored him at this moment.

……

Konoha Hidden Village, Hokage's office.

Upon hearing Uzumaki Ina's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression also turned serious.

After letting Ina Uzumaki rest, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered Orochimaru to be summoned, and Orochimaru was to bring the remaining Root members, along with one hundred urgently mobilized ninjas, to reinforce the Land of Rain and be placed under Danzo's command.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then summoned Fugaku Uchiha of the Uchiha clan and ordered him to lead a second batch of reinforcements to the Land of Rain in five days.

These five days are the time to mobilize troops and supplies.

After arranging everything, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was Genichi Kinoshita who was sent to gather intelligence. If it had been someone else, even if they had obtained the intelligence, the time spent going back and forth would have been much longer.

It's not that Hiruzen Sarutobi underestimated Hanzo and Amegakure; the current strength of Amegakure is far from its peak.

They could very well be caught off guard and defeated by the combined forces of Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

At that time, Konoha will likely face the danger of the combined forces of Sunagakure and Iwagakure invading the Land of Fire.

It is certainly better to fight in the Land of Rain than in the Land of Fire.

Now all we can do is suffer in the Land of Rain.

……

In the Land of Rain, Genichi's shadow clone did not immediately dissipate after leaving Amegakure, but instead stood on a high mountain to sense things.

at the same time.

Inside a cave, Yahiko's remains have been prepared.

Konan wiped away her tears and looked at Nagato, whose legs were wrapped in bandages and who looked emaciated, and asked, "Nagato, what do we do next?"

Nagato gazed outside the cave: "The others should have been dealt with by Hanzo and the others as well. Next..."

"I need to lie low. My legs can no longer walk, so I need to create other bodies to control with the Rinnegan."

Xiao Nan nodded: "What do you need to create a body? I'll go and prepare it for you."

Nagato did not refuse; he wanted to change, and Konan wanted to change too.

"The corpses of ninjas, five ninja corpses."

Nagato said.

Konan nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nagato, your leg should be healed if Tsunade from Konoha were to help."

"Xiao Nan!"

Nagato's voice suddenly rose, but then calmed down: "From now on, give up everything from the past! Give up those fragile thoughts, those fragile relationships."

"Konoha cannot be trusted."

Xiao Nan remained silent, then nodded.

Nagato added, "My legs are beyond saving. Let it be. From now on, my clones can walk in my place."

Xiao Nan asked, "So where do we go next?"

Nagato was about to speak when his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Xiao Nan immediately realized what was happening, pulled out her kunai, and looked warily at the figure appearing at the cave entrance: "Who is it?"

Nagato, however, remained remarkably calm.

Once he was no longer cowardly and no longer rejected the power of the Rinnegan, he had enough confidence in his strength.

Moreover, with Yahiko dead, he had nothing to fear.

At the cave entrance, Madara Uchiha, wearing the bio-armor of the White Zetsu, stepped into the cave.

Aloe vera followed behind him.

Standing two meters away from Nagato, Madara Uchiha opened the bio-mask on his head, revealing his aged face, and at the same time, a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan eyes appeared.

Konan became even more wary: "Sharingan, an Uchiha from Konoha!"

Madara Uchiha ignored Konan and looked at Nagato, saying, "I am Madara Uchiha!"

Nagato's eyes flickered: "Uchiha Madara, I've heard of you."

"But what are you doing here?"

That being said, Nagato did not actually believe it.

Madara Uchiha understood, but didn't care: "The inheritor of the Sage of Six Paths' will, the owner of the Rinnegan, the savior of the ninja world, I've been watching you for a very, very long time."

"Your eyes are destined to end the wars in this world, just like the Sage of Six Paths back then."

"And I will be your guide, helping you gradually master the power of these eyes and gain godlike power."

Upon hearing this, Konan immediately shouted, "Nagato, don't believe him!"

"If that's the case, why didn't it appear before?"

Nagato raised his hand: "Konan, let him finish speaking."

Madara Uchiha glanced at Konan, then continued, "Before... because Nagato hadn't awakened yet."

"Even if I appeared, you wouldn't believe in your ideals of peace at all."

"Now you understand that there is no such thing as a peaceful way."

"But it's not your fault, because there were people who were just as naive as you once were."

Nagato asked, "Who?"

Madara Uchiha's expression turned to one of reminiscence: "My good friend, one of the founders of Konoha, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

"Back then, we established Konoha together, ending the chaos of the Warring States period and bringing a new order to the ninja world."

"With our strength back then, we could have swept across the entire ninja world and unified all the ninja villages."

"But Hashirama opposed using war, because the original purpose of establishing the village was to prevent children from ever having to go to the battlefield again!"

A smile appeared on Madara Uchiha's face, but it quickly turned into a mocking one: "So he was so stupid that... no, I was stupid back then too."

"We distributed the Tailed Beasts to balance the various forces in the ninja world in order to maintain peace."

"However, the struggle did not disappear."

"I realized my mistake, so I left Konoha."

"Afterwards, in order to make Hashirama realize his mistakes, I led the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha..."

"As you have seen, Hashirama's ideas have completely failed. The Fourth Shinobi World War has been fought again and again, plunging everyone into the pain of war."

Madara Uchiha extended his hand to Nagato: "How about we cooperate and bring lasting peace to this suffering world!"

Nagato said calmly, "Tell me your plan!"

Madara Uchiha withdrew his hand without any embarrassment, knowing full well that Nagato couldn't completely trust him.

But that doesn't matter, as long as Nagato collects the Tailed Beasts according to plan and then revives them.

He will finish the rest himself.

It doesn't matter if Nagato isn't resurrected; he still has a backup plan.

Then, Madara Uchiha slowly revealed his Eye of the Moon plan.

Collect the tailed beasts, create the strongest war weapon, the Ten-Tails, and use the power of the Ten-Tails and the power of the Rinnegan to revive him, restoring him to his peak state. Then activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a clean world without any war.

Nagato listened quietly; the so-called Eye of the Moon plan held no appeal for him.

However, he was very interested in collecting the tailed beasts and creating the Ten-Tails.

Then he can use the power of the Ten-Tails to start a war, make those great powers suffer the pain of war, and then understand that pain.

How can one fear war if one does not truly understand the pain of war?
As for the illusion technique Infinite Tsukuyomi, it is nothing but a false peace.

"I agree to your plan."

Nagato agreed.

Xiao Nan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Madara Uchiha smiled and said, "I know you don't believe my identity, but that's alright."

Slowly turning and walking out of the cave, Madara Uchiha said, "Next, I will show you my power!"

Outside the cave.

Behind a large rock, under a tree, Xuan Yi sighed softly, "We've been discovered!"

He stepped out, and at the cave entrance, four figures stood in a row.

Removing his mask, Genichi greeted them from under the tree: "Nagato, Konan, it's been a long time!"

"It's you!"

Xiao Nan recognized Genichi under the tree. At first, her expression was complicated, but then her face turned cold, and she said nothing more.

Nagato spoke up, saying, "Xuanyi, you were right back then."

"Unfortunately, it's too late."

"If you're here to offer advice, then you don't need to say anything."

"I can guarantee your safe departure today."

Genichi Shushita first said thank you, then smiled and said, "I'm not here to offer any advice, but to congratulate you on finally getting on the right path."

"It's a great pity about Yahiko's death, but the world needs the power of revolution, and revolution requires bloodshed."

Nagato was moved by what he heard: "Revolution, bloodshed... You are as perceptive as ever."

"Unfortunately, we can't be together."

Genichi chuckled softly, "As long as we share the same goal, why bother about whether we're walking the same path?"

Nagato nodded slowly.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why Yahiko had enjoyed talking with Genichi Kinoshita so much back then.

The feeling of having a close friend.

pity……

From today onwards, we are enemies!
However, at this moment, Genichi under the tree was completely saying one thing to one person and another to another.

He had no concern for the fate of the ninja world, nor did he care about war or peace.

Immortality, the vast universe—that is the ultimate goal.

Everything else is scenery along the way.

After speaking with Nagato, Genichi Kinoshita looked at Madara Uchiha, who had put on the White Zetsu mask again: "Sharingan, you're from the Uchiha clan?"

"Or did they steal the Uchiha's eyes?"

At this moment, Genichi under the tree was completely pretending to be confused when he knew the truth.

Madara Uchiha did not reveal his identity, and Genichi Kinoshita was not qualified to do so, so he simply said, "You will know in the future."

"Now, let me see just how good this genjutsu genius, who's been called a 'superhuman' compared to the Uchiha, really is!"

Genichi Shushita tapped his mask on and chuckled, "Then let me see what your face looks like hidden behind this mask!"

As the words fell, the illusion was activated.

The art of darkness!
The Realm of Silence!

The art of preventing impure sexual intercourse!

Abyssal Prison!

After performing four illusions, Genichi under the tree suddenly lunged forward.

"An illusion that deprives one of the five senses?"

"Interesting, but useless to me."

Madara Uchiha casually commented, his black hair flying and his robes fluttering as he skillfully dispelled the four genjutsu, then formed hand seals.

Fire Escape - Fire is extinguished!

The fiery flames of the seal were extinguished, and a sea of ​​raging flames swept over Xuan Yi beneath the tree.

But Xuan Yi under the tree did not pause at all, rushing into the sea of ​​fire and fighting his way out.

boom!
The ground where Uchiha Madara stood exploded, sending rocks flying through the air.

Konan and Nagato leaped to the side, shocked that Genichi under the tree had actually ignored that level of fire jutsu.

On the other side, the Aloe Vera White Zetsu also leaped to one side to avoid the flying stones.

Madara Uchiha, with his keen insight and swift reaction, had already leaped away from the attack and appeared above the cave, at the summit.

"Ice Release, huh..."

Madara Uchiha looked down at Genichi under the tree.

Genichi's attack missed, but instead of continuing to pursue Madara Uchiha, he launched a surprise attack to the left.

"what?"

The Aloe Vera White Zetsu, which had leaped backward, was surprised to see Genichi approaching from under the tree in the blink of an eye.

He never expected that his target would be himself.

Madara Uchiha was also caught off guard. With a cold snort, his Susanoo rose up, first as a skeleton, but quickly covered by muscles. He clenched his hands, and the Susanoo sword emerged. With a swing of his right arm, he slashed down at Genichi under the tree below.

"This is……"

Nagato, landing on the ground, looked at Susanoo with shock: "Uchiha Madara..."

On the other side, Genichi under the tree made a buzzing sound as wind chakra covered his palm and extended from his fingertips to form a chakra blade. With a wave of his hand, he diagonally sliced ​​Aloe Vera White Zetsu in half from his chest.

Rumble!
The earth cracked open, and Susanoo cleaved a huge chasm in its wake.
