Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Liao Wu's kindness to Dai made it impossible for Dai to make up his mind to be Liao Wu's enemy!

Sakumo patted Dai on the shoulder: "Don't worry..."

Dai thought this would be a comfort.

"Orochimaru won't give you that kind of trouble. He'll turn you into a mindless fighting puppet when the time comes."

Dai sighed, "I'm just a low-ranking ninja, and a dead man at that. Why drag me into this war again?"

Before his death, Dai activated the Eight Gates Formation to protect his only remaining family member.

Fighting against such powerful ninjas as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, his youth gave him a perfect farewell.

Dai died a swift and complete death, leaving no regrets.

Youth has come to an end, so it's time for him to leave the stage.

Moreover, this cold body is completely devoid of youthful vitality; it is far too powerful.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique allows Dai to open the seventh gate of the Eight Gates without any side effects.

The power comes too easily; I'm not used to wearing it.

He felt that the principles of youth that he had always upheld should not be tarnished in this way.

Youth, like life, is never smooth sailing; it's a journey of falls and bruises, yet we keep running forward relentlessly.

But the youth of this filthy body—

As soon as the music starts, youth takes the stage; once the ultimate move is unleashed, the outcome becomes unpredictable!

Three big shots in one game, a youthful explosion!

Weakening it will do? My youth will never fade!

This is so youthful!

Dai suspected that he would start laughing as he played.

With its unlimited power, who wouldn't laugh when they use the Eight Gates Formation?

Suddenly, three figures appeared at Obito and Kakashi's training ground; it was Guy's team.

When Dai saw Kai, he immediately focused all his attention on Kai.

Looking at the wooden dummy that Obito had smashed, Kai's youthful spirit was instantly ignited.

"Who did this? Who insulted my youth?"

These wooden dummy dummies are used by Kai to practice physical techniques.

Genma Shiranui squatted down to examine a wooden dummy, analyzing, "This is piercing damage from lightning-style chakra; it's most likely Kakashi's Chidori."

Obito quickly pointed at Kakashi: "That's right, Guy, it was Kakashi who did it. He's the only one here who knows Chidori."

After saying that, Obito dove behind Kakashi and pushed him away.

Kakashi: "(#`皿´)".

Kai shouted at Kakashi, "Kakashi, you destroyed my wooden dummy. You must accept my challenge today."

Being entangled by Kai is like being strangled by death, being torn apart by a mad dog. Even the most energetic person will be worn down until they are weak all over.

Kakashi quickly raised his hand to explain, "Gay, it wasn't me—"

"What are you spouting nonsense for? Take this Leaf Village Power Whirlwind!"

Kai didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to challenge Kakashi.

Kakashi had no choice but to accept the challenge.

Watching Kakashi and Guy fight, Dai's eyes seemed to blaze with fire.

"That's it, Kai! Dive into his bot lane! Dive into his bot lane!"

Sakumo couldn't help but laugh as he watched Dai, who seemed eager to take Kai's place on the field.

How can youth ever come to an end?

The true meaning of youth is to get up again and again after falling down, and to always challenge yourself!

Even a dead youth is still youth.

Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado took turns engaging in verbal sparring with Kakuzu.

Before Kakuzu could even catch his breath, the three old men already felt a dryness in their throats and a tightness in their chests.

Kakuzu, who is 20 years older than them, is quite stubborn and insists on his own worth.

The three old men were wasting their breath trying to cut the price for hiring Kakuzu.

The Land of Fire is wealthy, but the money is all in the hands of the Daimyo. It's good that the Daimyo's government is fully supporting Konoha in forming the Allied Shinobi Forces.

But you can't just spend money recklessly.

Kakuzu casually mentions 100 million ryo; that much money could buy countless explosive tags and weapons...

As the number one rogue ninja in the world, Kakuzu certainly needs to hire employees, but he can't spend money on hiring employees so recklessly!

Finally, when the Third Hokage was too exhausted to say another word, he finally reached an agreement with Kakuzu on the price.

Seventy million taels, equivalent to two Asuma's heads employed by Kakuzu.

Kakuzu was not satisfied. He felt that with his net worth of 100 million ryo, it was already giving face to Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

The Third Hokage was very satisfied and secretly tripped up Kakuzu by having Jiraiya tamper with the employment contract.

The contract is for a term of... one hundred years!

Kakuzu thought the deadline would end when he defeated Madara Uchiha, but in reality, he had been employed by Konoha for a hundred years.

Of course, if Kakuzu doesn't keep his word, he can leave Konoha as soon as the war ends.

The contract has been signed and the agreement is binding. Anyone who breaks their word shall be punished by being eaten alive!

Kakuzu looked very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

Just like Koharu Utatane said, he only has the Allied Shinobi Forces as a side he can choose.

Going to Madara Uchiha's side is like falling into a fire pit.

Kusagakure Village is like a pirate ship that can't be disembarked.

The Third Hokage, looking at Kakuzu's Takigakure rogue ninja headband, suggested, "Kakuzu-senpai, I can contact the leader of Takigakure and have them remove your rogue ninja status."

"No need. I am no longer a ninja of Takigakure. This headband is just a relic of an old era."

Kakuzu shook his head.

Almost 50 years have passed, and Kakuzu and Takigakure Village have long since lost all connection.

It's estimated that Takigakure has forgotten about Kakuzu for a long time.

If Kakuzu still harbors hatred, he can seek revenge now, and no one in Takigakure can stop him.

Kakuzu then reminded the Third Hokage: "Hokage, I must remind you, the Seven-Tails is in Takigakure. With their strength, they cannot protect the Tailed Beast."

"If Madara Uchiha were to try and take it, that small village wouldn't be able to stop him."

Do you think we can stop them?

The Third Hokage and everyone present thought this to themselves.

It wasn't that the Third Hokage stood idly by; it was that there was simply no way to manage such a situation.

The fact that they can still drag their feet on forming the Allied Shinobi Forces is all thanks to Madara Uchiha.

The Third Hokage has already revealed Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan to the ninja world.

Knowing about the Eye of the Moon Plan, any ninja village with a tailed beast would likely be wary of Madara Uchiha's attempt to steal it.

But how do you protect yourself?

If Madara Uchiha personally comes to the rescue, you go and stop him!

The Third Hokage could only hope that the villages with tailed beasts would be more careful and hide them and their jinchūriki properly.

He once suggested that all the major ninja villages gather their Jinchuriki in Konoha so that Konoha could help them protect the Tailed Beasts.

But no one responded, fearing that Konoha would take the Tailed Beasts back.

After all, their tailed beasts were given to them by Konoha.

Since Kakuzu said that, it's impossible for the Third Hokage to remain completely silent.

"Jiraiya, go to Takigakure and protect the tailed beasts there."

Jiraiya was somewhat reluctant to go. Holding his pen, he said, "I still need to write erotic novels! Sending me on a mission at this time would only cause trouble, wouldn't it?"

"Jiraiya!"

The Third Hokage picked up his pipe, ready to knock Jiraiya's lewd head.

This good-for-nothing! A dignified Konoha ninja actually wrote such disgusting stuff!

Jiraiya quickly got up, put away his manuscript, and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll go to Takigakure then!"

Kakuzu said, "I'll go back to the village too! Come to think of it, it's been almost 50 years since I've been back."

Jiraiya nodded, and then led Kakuzu out of the Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage felt it was too risky, so he summoned several powerful Anbu members to accompany Jiraiya and Kakuzu.

He then wrote letters to the Kage of the other four major ninja villages, warning them to be wary of Madara Uchiha's attempt to seize the Tailed Beasts.

If Madara Uchiha's men show up to steal the Tailed Beasts, tell them not to try to handle it themselves, but to seek help from Konoha.

"Someone, deliver the letter to the four Kage of the four great ninja villages, instructing them to move the Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts as soon as possible, and to be wary of Madara Uchiha stealing the Tailed Beasts."

"yes!"
