Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

I was so scared I cried.

Just how vast is this chakra? It's endless, like a lush, verdant forest.

Just like the endless chakra of the tailed beasts.

Furthermore, the abundant pupil power in its head, and the chilling Yin Release chakra, are like a passage to the abyss, releasing the evil of this world.

But the chakra within the body gives warmth like sunlight.

This feeling is like...like—Uchiha Madara!

Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock, and he stopped in his tracks.

Liao Wu walked past him without saying a word.

Jiraiya watched Ryogoku's retreating figure. In the past, when they ran calisthenics, Ryogoku had always been at the very back, suffering from kidney deficiency. Now, however, he had far surpassed Jiraiya.

When exactly did it start? Liao Wu got faster and faster, surpassing all of his classmates, the Three Ninjas.

Jiraiya remembered that it was the day he defected from Konoha that he stopped believing in the Will of Fire and only had ninjutsu and power in his eyes.

Having defected from Konoha, he lost his family, relatives, and comrades, but the gates to power opened for him.

This world is so fair.

Fukasaku said solemnly, "Ryogoku is giving off the same feeling that Uchiha Madara gave us right now—extreme eye power and extreme chakra."

"His eyes aren't always activated with the Sharingan; they're normally the Sharingan because of the immense power of his eyes, which prevents them from closing."

"Xiao Liaowu was most likely integrated into Uchiha Madara's cells, gaining the Sharingan and the power of Wood Release."

"Jiraiya, you're in danger."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya had a bad feeling that he might not even be able to get past Liaowu.

But there was nothing he could do. Before Jiraiya arrived, he had already prepared for the worst. The worst outcome would be that he would die at the hands of Madara Uchiha, and that he would also implicate the two great sages and Minato.

However, no matter how strong Liao Wu is, without the Rinnegan, he can never compare to Uchiha Madara.

Dealing with Liao Wu is better than overestimating oneself by challenging Uchiha Madara.

After leaving Yuyin for about ten miles, Liaowu chose a location near Huojin Lake.

He removed his crested haori and hakama, replacing them with a set of Titan Heavy Ninja Armor.

The hundred-pound ninja armor was nothing to Liao Wu, who now possessed the body of an Asura Sage; in fact, he thought it was a bit too light.

After putting on the ninja armor, Liao Wu felt a surge of excitement.

Because the previous wedding process was just too tedious and boring.

He's the kind of person who just wants to live a simple and brutal life like a bandit.

If there is treasure, call the brothers and go and grab some.

If there are women, capture them and bring them back to the mountain to be the bandit's wives.

There are officers and soldiers around. Brothers, hold them off. The leader will retreat first.

The purpose of striving to become stronger is to reduce the need for thinking and to make things simpler and more direct.

If one day you become so powerful that you no longer need to use your brain, then you can do whatever you want.

Liao Wu patiently waited for Jiraiya, and he even had the leisure to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Lake Huajin.

Lake Futsu isn't really that scenic. It was just filled with groundwater from the Land of Rain a few days ago, so it's all water.

Jiraiya followed, jumping into Lake Kakuzu and hovering above the surface.

Liao Wu, with a touch of poetic sentiment, recited: "Huojin Lake, lake of calamity, there are toads in Huojin Lake, poke them and they hop away."

"..."

Jiraiya is a future bestselling adult novelist and cultural figure. He doesn't know how to comment on Liao Wu's nonsensical doggerel.

He decided to ignore it and turned to look at the boundless Lake of Calamity, exclaiming in shock, "Is this the giant lake created after the divine punishment?"

"Do gods really exist in the ninja world?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Jiraiya's long-held worldview was greatly shaken.

He had never witnessed the scene of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion attacking Madara Uchiha, but just from the giant lake it created, he knew how large the attack range was at the time.

Only the might of God could unleash such an attack.

Fukasaku and Shima were also extremely shocked as they looked at the huge lake.

If they hadn't known about divine punishment, they wouldn't have believed that Lake Huojin was man-made.

Only God has this power.

And God again?!

It is true that Fukasaku and Shima are immortals who have lived for eight hundred years, but some of the gods' secrets are known only to the Great Toad Immortal.

For example, the goddess Kaguya Otsutsuki from a thousand years ago was only someone that Fukasaku and Shima had heard of.

They were unaware that Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki was the Ten-Tails' true form.

Shima asked Fukasaku, "You idiot, Jiraiya's asking you a question! Are there gods in the ninja world?"

The immortal Fukasaku said, "Well, death gods and evil gods do exist, but they are all special beings and do not possess such world-destroying power."

"If anyone truly possesses this level of power, it can only be the Sage of Six Paths."

Jiraiya scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Are you saying that Lake Motsu was created by the Sage of Six Paths using a divine technique from above Takamagahara?"

Fukasaku spread his hands: "I don't know. I was just saying that the Sage of Six Paths has this kind of power, but I don't think it was the Sage of Six Paths who did it."

"This indiscriminate attack has affected some towns in the Land of Rain. If it is a god, then it is an evil god, a malevolent god."

"Maybe—it was Indra who dried it."

The stories of Ashura and Indra have become legendary, and through generations of ninjas' recitations, they have gradually been revered as gods by the world.

Asuras are benevolent gods, while Indra is an evil god, because Indra, like Ban, has never done anything good.

The initial conflict in the ninja world was instigated by Indra, who aimed to destroy the Ninja Sect and negate everything established by the Sage of Six Paths.

Shima, the sage, quipped, "Madara Uchiha is a descendant of Indra. Why would he bother disciplining his own offspring?"

The hermit Fukasaku explained, "An evil god! If it weren't evil, would it be called an evil god?"

「ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ.」

Liao Wu was somewhat angry and shouted at Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, Fukasaku the Sage, Shima the Sage, what are you doing?"

"There's a war going on right now, is this the time for you to enjoy the scenery?"

Jiraiya turned around, scratching his head apologetically: "Sorry, sorry. I often travel the ninja world to gather information, so naturally I had to inquire about such a spectacle."

Liao Wu nodded: "Alright, Jiraiya, enough chit-chat, let's begin!"

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we fought each other since the Ninja Academy."

"Now, I'm going to test how much you've improved over the years."

Jiraiya was speechless: "You talk as if you were my equal when you were in the Ninja Academy. Back then, you were the worst in actual combat."

"You can't even beat the Inuzuka family's dog."

Liao Wu explained, "I wasn't in the right state of mind back then, but today, I have completely surpassed the Three Ninjas."

Liao Wu unleashed chakra like a tailed beast, which instantly materialized and released a powerful pressure.

Even Jiraiya in Sage Mode was sweating profusely.

He felt as if he were facing Madara Uchiha without his eyes back then.
