Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Konoha Hospital.

The afternoon sunlight filtered through the frosted glass window, turning it into a soft, milky white.

This time, Kakashi didn't fall; instead, Minato did.

Kushina was carefully feeding Minato the meal she had prepared.

Minato's face was filled with happiness, which made Kushina furious. She pinched his cheek and said, "Minato, do you know you almost didn't make it back?"

Minato scratched his head sheepishly and said to Kushina, "I'm sorry, Kushina."

Kushina put the food aside, then buried her head in his arms and sobbed softly, "Don't do this again."

"You know... you're going to be a father!"

Minato was overjoyed and almost jumped for joy: "Kushina, you're pregnant?"

Kushina hugged Minato's back and nodded: "Nono tested positive for it a few days ago."

Minato stood up from the hospital bed, happily picked up Kushina, and spun her around several times.

But a shadow immediately fell over Minato's face, because this was not the best time for Kushina to get pregnant.

Madara Uchiha is resurrected and has regained his Rinnegan, igniting a war in the ninja world even more intense than the previous three Shinobi World Wars.

Can we win?

Minato didn't think he had much of a chance of winning. First of all, the Susanoo summoned by Madara Uchiha was not something that ordinary ninjas could deal with.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha possessed the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths, making him far stronger than the First Hokage.

Is such a person truly someone that can be defeated by gathering all the power of the ninja world?

Minato then thought of the divine punishment that had descended that day, wondering if Madara Uchiha was dead.

Now we can only wait for intelligence from the reconnaissance team.

Seeing Minato's preoccupied expression, Kushina pinched his nose: "Minato, you're thinking about Madara Uchiha again, aren't you?"

Minato nodded, then sat on the hospital bed with Kushina in his arms.

He gently stroked Kushina's belly: "Don't worry, even if Madara Uchiha is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, I will never let him harm you and our child."

When it comes to hurting Kushina and the child, Minato doesn't think of Madara Uchiha, but rather Ryogoku Uchiha.

He was somewhat speechless: "Kushina, Ryougo has his eye on you, saying he's going to steal you away from me."

Kushina immediately stood up angrily: "What?! How dare that little Uchiha Ryoubu spout such nonsense?!"

"Minato, next time I'll go on a mission too, and I'll make sure that evil Uchiha sees the sealing techniques of my Uzumaki clan."

Minato quickly cheered Kushina up: "Alright, alright, with Kushina on the field, she'll definitely beat Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Ryouku to a pulp."

Kushina smiled and declared fiercely, "These evil Uchiha clans still need the unparalleled genius of my Uzumaki clan to seal them away!"

"..."

Minato looked towards the ward door and suddenly froze. Kushina turned around and saw Mikoto and Itachi carrying a fruit basket.

Kushina just mentioned the evil Uchiha clan; Mikoto and Itachi are from the Uchiha clan.

They were a little embarrassed and didn't know whether they should come in or not.

Kushina rushed over to Mikoto and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mikoto, I wasn't talking about you, I...I was talking about Madara Uchiha and that evil grandfather and grandson pair, Ryou Uchiha."

Mikoto placed the fruit basket on the table next to her, bowed to Minato, and Minato nodded.

Mikoto shook her head at the somewhat lively Kushina: "Kushina, you're pregnant, don't be so impulsive."

Kushina breathed a sigh of relief; Mikoto didn't take it to heart.

The relationship between the two families now has a bit of a political rivalry feel to it, with Minato being a candidate for Hokage and Fugaku also becoming a candidate for Hokage.

Kushina was afraid that her relationship with Mikoto would be strained due to the competition between Minato and Fugaku.

However, it seems that Mikoto is not acting like a political enemy, which makes Kushina cherish this friendship very much.

Kushina pulled Mikoto to sit on the sofa next to her and asked, "Mikoto, you got pregnant two months earlier than me. Have you decided on a name for the baby yet?"

Mikoto found it somewhat amusing: "It's only been a short time, the baby's due yet! But as for a name! I do have some ideas."

"After my brother died, I planned to name him Ryou in his memory, but Fugaku disagreed. He had a better name—Sasuke!"

Kushina was taken aback: "Isn't that the name of the third-generation old man's father?"

Mikoto nodded: "The Third Hokage's father was a great ninja, and Fugaku wanted Sasuke to become a great ninja like Sarutobi Sasuke-sama."

On the other side, Itachi walked to Minato's bedside and saluted him: "I'm sorry, Lord Minato, it's all because of the troubles of our Uchiha clan that you've been implicated."

Minato looked at Itachi, who seemed like a little adult. Despite his young age, Itachi had the demeanor of a ninja, which was reasonable and well-founded. He was much easier to get along with than the arrogant Uchiha.

He patted Itachi's head: "This is not the Uchiha clan's fault. It's already amazing that the Uchiha clan was able to hold on to Konoha after Madara Uchiha was resurrected."

Itachi then asked, "Lord Minato, were your injuries inflicted by Madara Uchiha?"

Mikoto and Itachi came to visit Minato. On one hand, the two families had a good relationship in the past. In the original story, Kushina even told Mikoto that she was pregnant.

Keep in mind that she is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the tailed beast could break its seal at any time during childbirth.

Even though Mikoto's family didn't know that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the fact that they were able to tell Mikoto such important information shows how close the two families are.

Since Minato was injured, and it was Mikoto who was injured by an ancestor of the Uchiha clan, she would naturally come to visit him.

On the other hand, they also came to gather intelligence. Most of the ninja cats in the empty area had joined Uchiha Madara, and the Uchiha had lost their source of information from the outside world.

The only way to find out is through the Senju lineage, and the only connection between the Uchiha clan and the Senju lineage is the Minato family.

Minato was not an ordinary Jonin, and Kushina was from the Uzumaki clan, which can basically be considered a branch of the Senju clan.

If Tsunade hadn't become Hokage, the Senju clan would have supported Minato.

To some extent, even if the higher-ups gave the Uchiha clan a chance, they still wouldn't have a chance to become Hokage.

The Uchiha clan... is too selfish!

After a moment of silence, Minato finally told Itachi, "Yes, Madara Uchiha is too strong. I was seriously injured by him in just one exchange."

"If it weren't for the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kakashi and the others would have all died."

Kushina walked over and tapped Minato on the head: "Minato, don't say such discouraging things."

Minato chuckled awkwardly, then added, "Itachi, your uncle isn't bad either; he learned Tsunade-senpai's monstrous strength."

"He possesses forbidden fire-style techniques, forbidden lightning-style techniques, and earth-style secret techniques. He's also a medical ninja with astonishing recovery abilities... His chakra is even more astonishing than Kushina's."

The more Shuimen recalled Liaowu, the more surprised he became. Unbeknownst to him, Liaowu had already become an opponent that even he was not confident of defeating.

That's too fast!

It had only been a few months since Liao Wu's defection, and he had already reached the level of the Three Ninjas.

If he were given a few more years, wouldn't he become another Madara Uchiha?

Mikoto and Itachi were increasingly surprised as they listened. A sense of pride rose in Mikoto's heart, for her brother's ninja talent was no less than that of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

It was all his bloodline disease that dragged him down!
