Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Shisui thought his Kotoamatsukami was insidious enough, but after hearing about the Impure World Reincarnation, he realized that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was the most insidious.

At least the Kotoamatsukami of Shisui has side effects; using it once will result in a cooling effect that lasts for ten years.

But what about Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation)?

What are its side effects?

The only drawback is that it's extremely costly, requiring a ninja with chakra as a sacrifice to summon the souls of the dead from the Pure Land.

But for the strong who regard human life as worthless, this is not a drawback.

Moreover, the impure bodies created by Edo Tensei are immortal and can quickly regenerate from damage caused by being broken or severed.

Because they are immortal, they will not die even if their chakra is exhausted, as their chakra will be replenished.

Theoretically, it possesses inexhaustible chakra.

Shisui stared at the Third Hokage with empty eyes: "Hokage-sama, this kind of technique is far too forbidden."

The Third Hokage nodded: "That's why it's a forbidden technique. Besides, it's not something an ordinary person can learn."

The Third Hokage turned to Danzo: "Danzo, the best way to deal with Madara Uchiha is with the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Danzo nodded: "The Impure World Body can only be sealed. Madara Uchiha is not good at sealing. His Planetary Devastation only uses stones to restrict the enemy. This is not a proper sealing technique."

Madara's mechanism is unsolvable; only the Rinnegan and the Sage of Six Paths can perceive it in Limbo.

The Allied Shinobi Forces do not have such a person.

Since Madara's mechanics are unsolvable, they will use unsolvable techniques to deal with Uchiha Madara.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique can only be sealed away because there is no way to escape it.

This is the best way to deal with Madara Uchiha. They only have one head and cannot possibly fight Madara Uchiha with their flesh and blood.

The margin for error for flesh and blood is too low, while the Impure World Reincarnation, being an immortal being, has a very high margin for error and is the best weapon to counter Madara Uchiha.

Shisui then said, "The information given by Senior Ryouwu mentioned that Madara Uchiha has a black rod for chakra conduction, which can restrict the flow of chakra within a ninja's body."

Jiraiya also realized: "Old man, Fukasaku and Shima also suffered from Madara's chakra rods."

"They were pierced by Madara's black rods back then, and even their Sage Mode was sealed. I estimate that those black rods can seal the chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation."

The Third Hokage stroked his chin: "We'll just need to be careful then."

"In the end, we were just using the Impure World Reincarnation to restrain Madara. The real way to deal with Madara is with sealing techniques."

Madara's mechanics are the same as the Edo Tensei form, so strong that it's impossible to kill him.

At this point, the only option left is to try every possible way to seal it.

The Third Hokage clenched his fist, having already made his choice.

Minato glanced at the Third Hokage with a hint of reluctance. Some time ago, the Third Hokage had come to his house to retrieve the Uzumaki clan's sealing scroll and learned a sealing technique.

The Third Hokage didn't let Kushina and Minato see him learn it.

But they all guessed it was the Corpse Sealing Technique, which could summon the Grim Reaper.

It summons the Grim Reaper at the cost of its own soul to devour the target's soul and seal it permanently, but after the Grim Reaper devours the target's soul, its own soul will also be devoured by the Grim Reaper.

Afterwards, the souls of oneself and the enemy will continue to hate and fight each other in the belly of death, never to be reborn.

This is a sorcery that sacrifices oneself and even one's peace after death.

Despite all that talk, none of them were able to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The Third Hokage asked, "Where is Orochimaru?"

Now that things have come to this, Danzo can no longer hide it. Everyone is on guard against—the ninja world's wild chicken, Bamandan!

Danzo said, "Orochimaru is not in Konoha, but has gone to Ryuchi Cave with his two disciples."

"Ryuji Cave?!"

Jiraiya was surprised that Orochimaru was still alive, but at the same time he wondered what Orochimaru was doing at Ryuchi Cave.

Are you planning to hide in Ryuchi Cave to escape Madara Uchiha's Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Based on Jiraiya's understanding of Orochimaru, he would really find a place to hide in and live the rest of his life just to survive.

Danzo said, "Orochimaru has had White Zetsu cells transplanted, which has enhanced his body. He plans to learn Sage Mode to strengthen the Impure World forms of the First and Second Hokage."

One drawback of the Impure World Reincarnation technique is that the power of the impure body cannot be unleashed at the peak strength of the deceased in life.

You can only approach it, never surpass it.

But with an inexhaustible supply of chakra and an immortal body, this means sacrificing explosive power for increased endurance.

Orochimaru has only just mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He needs to use Sage Mode to enhance the Impure World Reincarnation and increase his ninja stats to summon more Impure World bodies.

When thousands of zombies attack Madara, even if Madara is made of iron, he will be worn down and killed.

The Third Hokage frowned. Learning Sage Techniques was very dangerous, as the Sage Techniques of the three great holy lands were all the same.

It is very difficult to achieve a perfect balance between the body's natural energy, physical energy, and mental energy.

If you are not careful, inhaling too much mental energy can lead to physical collapse.

It is precisely because of the difficulty in learning Sage Mode that so few people in the ninja world have mastered it.

Even a genius like the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, couldn't learn the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique passed down by the Senju clan.

Orochimaru is going to learn the most dangerous of the three holy lands, Ryuchi Cave Sage Techniques, which is quite risky.

The Third Hokage said to Danzo, "Can you call Orochimaru back? We can't take any risks now!"

Danzo shook his head: "Orochimaru is your disciple. You know his personality. The more difficult the technique, the more interested he is in learning it."

"Even if you can't learn it, you have to find a way to create its derivatives."

As Jiraiya listened to Danzo's words, he thought of the cursed seal Orochimaru displayed when the three legendary Sannin fought against Madara Uchiha.

The immortal Fukasaku once said that it was a simplified form of immortal magic.

Orochimaru is that kind of person, with an insatiable thirst for ninjutsu, which he will never be satisfied with.

It's a little gluttonous snake that can never be full, and one day it will devour the entire ninja world.

Jiraiya scratched his head, thinking that if there really was a chance to defeat Uchiha Madara and Ryou, Orochimaru might become a new problem for the ninja world.

This is why the ninja world is mired in an endless war, because there are simply too many extraordinary beings.

The Third Hokage wants to talk to Orochimaru about Madara Uchiha, but Orochimaru isn't there.

He then said to Danzo, "Danzo, send the information about Uchiha Madara to Orochimaru. He should have left his own contact token in Konoha."

Danzo nodded: "Yes, Orochimaru is still closely monitoring Madara Uchiha's situation."

The Third Hokage said, "Regardless of whether Orochimaru has mastered Sage Mode, he must return to participate in the war before the Allied Shinobi Forces attack Amegakure."

Danzo nodded again: "I will tell him."
