Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Yekura retorted, "The Tsuchikage Onoki is over 60 years old this year, and the Third Hokage is only one year younger than Grandma. I think Grandma's age is the perfect time for her to take risks."

"Cough cough... Ye Cang, how can you be so selfish?!"

Grandma Chiyo quickly coughed, pretending to be unsteady on her feet.

Ebizo silently helped up Chiyo's grandmother.

My sister loved to play hard to get when she was young, and even in her old age she would often pretend to be dead to fool him. Now that she's regained her youth, she seems to love playing around even more than before.

A group of people, seeing that Granny Chiyo was unsteady on her feet, began to condemn Yokura.

"Yakura, stop talking nonsense. Only you are capable of being the Kazekage right now."

"Yes, Lady Yecang, this is the time when a hero like you is needed to step forward."

The members of the Dark Guard somehow found a Wind Shadow Robe, draped it over Ye Cang, and ushered her to the front.

Everyone knelt on one knee in unison: "Greetings, Kazekage!"

Yecang felt sad because she was about to be sent to the battlefield to fight Madara Uchiha.

Grandma Chiyo smiled secretly.

In Konoha 51, Uchiha Ryougo attacked Sunagakure, massacred the elders, killed the Fourth Kazekage, and stole the One-Tailed Shukaku.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

"What?! Uchiha Ryougo has attacked Sunagakure and is preparing to steal the One-Tailed Shukaku!"

The Third Hokage, along with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, immediately became anxious.

Their worst fears came true: their opponents wouldn't just stand by and watch them form an alliance; they were also looking for isolated ninja villages to target.

Koharu, the girl in the next room, asked anxiously, "Where's Minato? Where did he go? We need to get him to Sunagakure as soon as possible to stop Uchiha Ryougo!"

Minato, please save me!

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Minato went to Mount Myōboku to train in Sage Mode with the two great sages. We can't rely on Minato for everything, can we?"

Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses: "Hiruzen, why don't you go to Sunagakure and stop Uchiha Ryoubu!"

"..."

The Third Hokage put down his pipe and said to the Anbu members, "Someone, tell Tamahaya and Shinobi Hawk to come! Prepare to head to Sunagakure."

It takes at least three days to travel from Konoha to Sunagakure, and only by flying can one reach Sunagakure as quickly as possible.

The Third Hokage was not one to fear death, and immediately set out to attack Sunagakure.

Koharu and Mitokado quickly stopped him.

"Hiruzen, don't rush!"

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Yeah, Hiruzen, you're the Hokage of Konoha now. If you get killed by that brat Uchiha Ryou, who will be able to hold the village together?"

"Watergate!"

The Third Hokage was no joke; he had already stood up, taken off his Hokage robe, and revealed his black battle suit.

Mitokado Homura grabbed the Third Hokage's hand: "Hiruzen, Minato lacks authority. Only you can become the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces!"

Minato indeed made a great name for himself in the Third Shinobi World War and made great contributions to Konoha.

But the Allied Shinobi Forces need the Third Hokage's composure and experience even more.

Just as the Third Hokage was about to push Mitokado Homura aside and head to Sunagakure to stop Ryougo from capturing Shukaku, the Anbu arrived with another report.

"Lord Hokage, something terrible has happened! Kazekage Rasa has been killed, and Shukaku has been captured by Uchiha Ryougo!"

"Nani—"

The Third Hokage and two other high-ranking officials were at a loss for words after reading the intelligence.

With Rasa killed and Shukaku captured, Madara Uchiha has already obtained one of the nine tailed beasts.

The Third Hokage is currently most worried about the tailed beasts of the other villages. Madara Uchiha sent Ryogoku to Sunagakure. Will he personally go out to capture the tailed beasts of the other villages?

"Immediately inquire with the Kage of the remaining three ninja villages about the situation of their tailed beasts and Jinchuriki."

"yes!"

Koharu Utatane said worriedly, "Hiruzen, you've forgotten about a village."

"Which one?"

"Takigakure!"

The country of Taki.

This country is closely surrounded by the four countries of Earth, Fire, Grass, and Frost, and is located in the gap between powerful nations.

Unlike the Land of Rain, Takigakure in the Land of Waterfall has always been very dutiful, honestly guarding its own little plot of land.

It has never produced an ambitious figure like Hanzo, has always maintained neutrality, and has not been specifically targeted by major powers.

Takigakure is a ninja village in the Land of Waterfalls. It is the only non-five great nation ninja village that possesses a tailed beast. It is completely hidden by a huge waterfall and has never been breached by an external enemy.

In the original story, Kakuzu and Hidan did not capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Fu in Takigakure, but rather when Fu was evacuating from Sunagakure after participating in the Chunin Exams, by blocking the bridge.

However, even if Fu doesn't leave the village, Kakuzu can still catch her.

Kakuzu was once an elite member of Takigakure, so naturally he knows where Takigakure is. How do we find it by crossing the waterfall?

Takigakure can truly be considered a ninja village hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

However, at this moment, this village hidden in the waterfall is being invaded by foreign ninjas.

Takigakure Village, the sealing altar of Shigeaki Nanao.

The leader of Takigakure and the village's middle and high-ranking ninjas are fighting a group of invaders.

The ninjas of Takigakure were forced into retreat. One of them, a red-haired ninja, was an all-rounder of the Five Elements, capable of using ninjutsu of all five elements.

Wind Release, Water Release, Fire Release... and an extremely large amount of chakra.

The leader of Takigakure, along with two Jonin, was no match for him.

This person's chakra seemed inexhaustible, unleashing one powerful ninjutsu after another over a wide area.

There is also a blue-haired female ninja who flies in the sky and uses a paper-based technique that makes her immune to any physical attack.

The leader of Takigakure stared grimly at the unfamiliar ninja who had invaded Takigakure and were preparing to seize the Seven-Tails: "Who exactly are you?"

These two are Nagato and Konan, and the rest are elite ninjas from Kusagakure and Amegakure.

To capture the Seven-Tails Madara, Amegakure dispatched all the elite troops they had left behind.

Nagato, Konan, Shirakawa (leader of Kusagakure), Mui (representative of "Kusa no Shi"), and Chiho Hagi (representative of "Kusa no Hana").

In addition, there are the 12 Zodiac Elders of Kusagakure, each of whom is a Jonin.

In addition, there are some elites from Rain Village.

Nagato and Konan did not answer, but the leader of Takigakure had already guessed: "I know, you are subordinates of Uchiha Madara, and you are here on his orders to steal our Seven-Tails."

Although Takigakure is hidden deep in the mountains, it is not a rural village. They also have connections with the outside world and with the Daimyo of Takigakure.

They couldn't possibly be unaware of the uproar caused by Madara Uchiha.

Moreover, the Third Hokage also sent a message to Takigakure warning them to be wary of Madara Uchiha trying to steal the Tailed Beasts.

"That's right!"

Konan looked down at the Takigakure ninja from the air, like a high angel offering Takigakure pity.

"Takigakure leader, face reality! You are no match for us. Hand over the Seven-Tails obediently!"

The leader of Takigakure looked grim: "Damn it, how did you manage to break in?"

"..."

Nagato Konan remained silent, offering no reply to the Takigakure leader.

Hidden among numerous waterfalls, how did Nagato and Konan find the location of Takigakure and cross the waterfalls?

Actually, this is all thanks to Kusagakure.

In order to open the Box of Bliss, Kusagakure would naturally set its sights on ninja villages that possess tailed beasts.

Takigakure was not among the Five Great Ninja Villages, so their tailed beast, the Seven-Tails, naturally caught the eye of the people of Kusagakure.

When Takigakure ninjas go out to accept commissions and carry out missions, they will naturally have some interaction with the outside world.

Kusagakure's chosen target from Takigakure is Suigan, a rogue ninja who, in the original story, wanted to seize the Hero's Water and attempt to overthrow the Takigakure village's regime.

Kusagakure used a few enticements to make Shuiyan willingly become a pawn of Kusagakure.

The people of Kusagakure naturally learned the location of Takigakure Village from the information betrayed by Suiken.

However, when they were crossing the waterfall, Nagato and Konan got lost, and it was the White Zetsu who appeared and gave them directions.

Actually, you can find Takigakure Village even without Kusagakure Nagato and Konan.

White Zetsu considers itself second to none in terms of reconnaissance ability; no one in the ninja world dares to claim the top spot.

Under the powerful invasion technique of the Mayfly Technique, the natural barrier of Takigakure's waterfall is simply a joke.

After entering Takigakure, Nagato and Konan, guided by White Zetsu, headed straight for the location where the Seven-Tails was sealed. The Takigakure ninjas discovered them, and the two groups started fighting.
