Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

The Third Hokage comforted him, saying, "Don't say that to Minato. You've already tried your best, it's just that your opponent was Madara Uchiha."

"He is a ninja that only the First Hokage could defeat. Even if I went, there would be no way to defeat him. I might not be able to come back like Danzo."

During the time Minato was unconscious, Kakashi and the other two had already submitted their mission logs.

The Third Hokage also saw it; it was already a struggle for Minato and the others to escape, let alone Danzo without the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Danzo was essentially dead.

The Third Hokage was deeply saddened by the death of his old colleague, but had no heart to mourn for him.

The entire village of Konoha rests on the shoulders of the Third Hokage, and there can be no slackening at this time.

Abandon illusions and prepare for battle.

Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, Kushina approached, carrying the white cat in her hand.

The Third Hokage was startled; the white cat's eyes were bright red, and at first glance, they looked like Sharingan.

Kushina said with a hint of pride, "Third Hokage, do you see this? This is Uchiha Ryougo. He's hiding inside Kakashi and Kurenai."

"Luckily, I arrested him!"

The white cat kicked its hind legs hard: "Kushina, you can only bully this clone of me."

"Just you wait, the Eye of the Moon Project has begun, and you've already been assigned. The little fox inside you is Uchiha Madara's, while you are my true form!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage, Minato, and Kushina all had their pupils shrink.

The others were puzzled by the little fox. Was there a little fox inside Kushina's belly?

Lin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Little fox? Kushina-sensei, aren't you carrying a baby in your belly?"

"Yes, could it be that Kushina-senpai is a fox spirit reincarnated?"

"It's possible. A lot of civilians have gone missing from the village recently. It must be Kushina Kaneki's doing."

Kushina quickly covered the white cat's mouth.

Minato laughed it off, saying, "When Kushina was little, she looked like a little fox, so she had a nickname called 'Red-haired Fox.' The 'little fox' referred to the baby in Kushina's belly."

"Madara Uchiha is so evil, how dare he lay a hand on my child."

Mikoto glanced at Kushina with some suspicion.

The Third Hokage, Minato, and Kushina never expected that Ryougo would know that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The fact that Kushina was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki was kept so well hidden that Jiraiya never knew that his apprentice-in-law, Uzumaki Kushina, was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

He still thought that the Nine-Tailed Fox had been summoned to the village.

From beginning to end, Jiraiya believed that the Nine-Tails was a natural disaster and that Konoha did not have the Nine-Tails.

Even high-ranking members of the legendary Sannin, including Orochimaru and Tsunade, were unaware that Kushina was the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only five people clearly knew that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki: the Third Hokage, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Minato.

Danzo and Koharu Utatane are high-ranking officials in Konoha, while Minato is Kushina's husband.

Konoha has always kept information about Jinchuriki very tightly under wraps, and they never even considered using the Nine-Tails' power.

It's a seal!

Because they cannot control the power of the Nine-Tails.

Konoha didn't study the Nine-Tails' power or the seals on the Tailed Beasts, which led to everyone being clueless when the Nine-Tails broke free of its seal.

Because they had no experience dealing with the Nine-Tails, they thought the Nine-Tails was controlled by the evil Uchiha from outside the village to destroy it.

Since Madara Uchiha left, Konoha has maintained a conservative policy, only thinking of resisting when others attack.

This village has no ambition and has been living off its past achievements.

The Third Hokage and Minato never expected that Ryou would know Kushina's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but when they thought of Madara Uchiha, they suddenly realized.

After all, the Nine-Tails was once Madara Uchiha's summoning beast.

But Minato immediately became deeply worried.

The Eye of the Moon plan requires the Nine-Tails in Kushina's womb, which proves that Madara Uchiha has his eye on his wife.

In front of Madara Uchiha, he was a useless husband!

Fearing he would end up like Jiraiya, Madara Uchiha kidnapped his wife and gave her to Ryougo to have a baby Uchiha.

Shuimen was in a terrible state of mind.

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette, looked at the eager Obito, and smiled, "Obito, I'm glad you're still alive."

"Can you tell us the information you gathered during your time as an undercover agent for Madara Uchiha?"

It's finally my turn to show off!

Obito was so excited! He knew a lot, and he couldn't bear not to tell everyone.

"Project Eye of the Moon is—"

Bang!

Before Obito could speak, he heard a huge noise outside the window, as if the whole village had been hit by an earthquake.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village immediately erupted into a state of high alert, entering a state of emergency.

The Hokage Building was surrounded by a group of giant toads.

Atop the giant toad, the sage Fukasaku roared, "Danzo, how dare you insult the great sage of Mount Myōboku! Get out here right now!"

Beneath the walls of Konoha, Danzo was counting his remaining resources. This battle had essentially wiped out Root's entire fortune.

Apart from some support staff, there was basically no one left in Root, so Danzo had no choice but to try to swallow Orochimaru's Root.

But the shout from above, naming names, made Danzo realize something was wrong; he really didn't dare show his face now.

"Gu, go tell Hiruzen that I have already died in the Land of Rain!"

"yes!"

……

As soon as the two hermits of Mount Myōboku appeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at attention.

The Third Hokage respectfully invited the two sages in, and offered them the best food and drink.

They even dispatched the entire secret service to catch insects to feed the toads of Mount Myōboku.

The Third Hokage truly wanted to kill Danzo.

Even a great figure like the First Hokage would consider the Toad Sage a junior, yet Danzo spoke ill of him?

If this guy hadn't been kept in check all these years, he'd become so arrogant he wouldn't even know his own name!

The Third Hokage apologized profusely: "Fukasaku, Shima, please don't be angry. Danzo has already died in the Land of Rain."

"He has already paid the price for his actions!"

Fukasaku nodded: "He died a good death, but there's one thing I need to make clear."

"Mount Myoboku is not the Mount Myoboku of Konoha. The purpose of Mount Myoboku is to protect the peace of the ninja world and to find the Child of Prophecy to help him cut off the curse on the ninja world."

"It was Mount Myōboku's decision to conceal Jiraiya's Rinnegan. The future of the Child of Prophecy is not something that Konoha can control."

"It might backfire, causing the Child of Prophecy to hate Konoha and become the executioner who destroys the world."

The Third Hokage glanced at Jiraiya, who was grinning smugly to the side.

Jiraiya would definitely face severe consequences for concealing the Rinnegan, but with Mount Myōboku protecting him, the Third Hokage couldn't really say anything.

In the current situation, if Konoha were to offend even Mount Myōboku, it would be better to be destroyed sooner rather than later!

"What Fukasaku the Sage said is true; the power of the Rinnegan is indeed beyond the reach of Konoha."

"However, Fukasaku the Sage, the Rinnegan belongs to Madara Uchiha. Is he the child of prophecy that you all believe in?"

The immortal shook his head: "I don't know. Only the master can answer this question."

"But don't worry, the purpose of Mount Myōboku is to protect the peace of the ninja world. If Madara Uchiha wants to destroy the ninja world..."

"Even if he is the child of prophecy, we must stand up and stop him."

The Third Hokage was relieved, but he was truly afraid that Mount Myōboku would also be taken over by Madara Uchiha, in which case it would be truly over.
