Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

War is about giving everything to win, even sacrificing important figures on your side!

The people of Sunagakure are now the most supportive of killing the Jinchuriki to delay the Eye of the Moon Plan, because they no longer have any Tailed Beasts.

They would love for all the tailed beasts in the other villages to die out, so that the power of each country could be balanced.

However, the younger generation disagreed. For example, the Fourth Raikage, with his fiery temper, stood up and confronted Danzo, saying, "Then who should be sacrificed?"

"I will not sacrifice Yugito and Bi in any way. Since it was Konoha that proposed this, then Konoha should make the sacrifice!"

Minato stepped forward and stood in front of Kushina.

Killer Bee then spoke to Kushina, "Big brother, you idiot, you bastard! We can't sacrifice Kushina, she's pregnant!"

Yugito nodded: "Yes, if your war is for the nobles behind you, then my reason for fighting is to protect the future of the ninja world."

"If we can't even protect pregnant women and children, then we might as well turn this world into a world of illusions."

Kushina looked at Yugito and Killer Bee with deep emotion; this was what family felt like.

Only those who have experienced your pain will sympathize with you.

The masked man who had remained silent throughout the ordeal stepped forward: "If someone has to sacrifice themselves, then let it be me!"

"Chinese?!"

Everyone in Iwagakure was looking at Han, and everyone in the conference room was staring in astonishment at the Five-Tails Jinchuriki—Han.

Han is taciturn and has never spoken since becoming a Jinchūriki, giving people a cold and aloof impression.

However, he is extremely friendly to his companions, open-minded, and has a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Onoki shook his head: "No, the Five-Tails is the village's property, how can we sacrifice it?"

Onoki didn't have the same level of trust in Rōshi and Han that the Fourth Raikage had in Killer Bee and Yugito.

Especially Ozaki, who often clashed with Onoki in the village. In the original story, Ozaki also left the village to become a monk because he couldn't stand Onoki's way of doing things.

Therefore, someone who knew the truth got lucky.

Ōnoki and Rōshi do have conflicts, but these are only conflicts of personality.

As the Shadow, how could I allow my village comrades to sacrifice themselves to achieve victory?

The Will of Stone emphasizes a heart as firm as a rock, resolutely protecting one's companions.

Onoki looked at Danzo: "Danzo, since it was Konoha that proposed this, you should decide which Jinchuriki to sacrifice?"

Danzo was definitely unwilling to sacrifice Kushina. It wasn't that he was kind, but the Nine-Tails was Konoha's treasure, so how could it be sacrificed so easily?

They only knew that the tailed beasts were immortal, but they weren't quite sure how they were resurrected.

The Nine-Tails won't be so easily sealed away by Konoha when it revives next time.

Danzo preferred to sacrifice either Killer Bee or Yugito.

Killer Bee is the perfect Jinchūriki, and Yugito is also very close to perfect.

Killing Killer Bee and Yugito would both weaken the fighting power of Kumogakure, the second strongest ninja in the world, and prolong Madara's Eye of the Moon plan—a win-win situation!

However, he was not a high-ranking member of the Allied Shinobi Forces, and people from other ninja villages would not trust him.

The Third Hokage spoke up: "Danzo, don't say things that are detrimental to unity. Jinchuriki are important partners of each village."

"This time, the Allied Shinobi Forces were formed to protect them in order to fight against Madara Uchiha."

Danzo withdrew; he had only brought it up to prepare everyone mentally.

When you really lose everything, you're capable of anything!

Even if they were unwilling, the daimyo and nobles behind them would force them to kill the Jinchūriki.

Mifune then said, "Everyone, since Madara Uchiha's goal is the Tailed Beasts, we must think of a place to protect the Jinchuriki."

Jiraiya said, "I suggest Mount Myōboku. Mount Myōboku is an alternate dimension, and there is a huge maze in the outside world, which would make it difficult for Madara Uchiha's White Zetsu to find."

Everyone nodded.

The Fourth Raikage was originally intended to be stationed on Turtle Island, but once Mount Myōboku appeared, it far surpassed Turtle Island in importance.

This is a sacred place.

There's also the legendary toad sage who can foresee the future, numerous top-tier summoned beasts, and defensive measures capable of tearing Turtle Island apart.

Now that the territory for protecting the Jinchūriki has been chosen, how many Jinchūriki are willing to go there?

It's impossible to go to everyone!

Jinchuriki are all at least Kage-level ninjas, so having too many of them is useless against Madara Uchiha. You need to be an elite Jonin or higher.

Jinchuriki are provided with a massive amount of chakra by tailed beasts, making them the best weapon against Madara Uchiha.

Killer Bee raps his refusal to be protected: "~I am the perfect Jinchuriki, I want to fight, I will not go to Mount Myōboku."

Yugito is the same; she refuses to be protected.

The remaining villages, Sunagakure, had no tailed beasts and seemed to have disappeared during the Five Kage Summit.

Every time someone mentioned the Tailed Beasts, the people of Sunagakure felt a pang of pain, because their Tailed Beasts had been stolen by Liaowu.

Although Rōshi and Han from Iwagakure were not perfect Jinchūriki, they were still able to transform into Tailed Beasts. They did not want to stay in the rear and be protected by others, and they also wanted to participate in the war.

Yagura is another example; he's a candidate for Mizukage. Since the Mizukage hasn't arrived, he's the representative of the Land of Water.

They cannot be protected by others.

Kushina lowered her head, feeling somewhat ashamed. The Jinchuriki were all brave people, but Kushina was not.

She is pregnant and needs to go to Mount Myoboku for protection.

Minato held Kushina's hand, comforting her somewhat wounded heart.

Mifune disagreed with having so many Jinchuriki participate in the battle, suggesting, "At least two Jinchuriki should be left behind!"

"One Nine-Tails, one left..."

Mifune looked around and then focused his gaze on Yugito.

This is not discrimination against women, but rather a mindset that has long held that men have the dominant position in terms of force.

Yugito was somewhat unconvinced and was about to retort to Mifune when the Fourth Raikage stopped him: "Yugito, you stay here."

"Raikage-sama..."

"This is an order, and I want you to teach Kushina how to control the power of the tailed beasts. The Nine-Tails is the strongest tailed beast, and if we are all defeated, we will need the power of the Nine-Tails."

The wooden figure nodded.

The Fourth Raikage said to the Third Hokage, "Now that we're all united, the Hidden Cloud Village can no longer keep things to itself. We will share our experience in controlling the Tailed Beasts."

"I hope that Konoha can develop the full power of the Nine-Tails."

The Third Hokage looked at Kushina, who was pregnant. Developing the power of the Tailed Beasts while carrying a child would be very dangerous.

Kushina stopped pretending to be weak and said to the Third Hokage, "Third Hokage, I am a member of the Uzumaki clan, and my vitality is much stronger than others."

"If it's just about acquiring the power of the Tailed Beasts, I can handle it!"

Minato gripped Kushina's hand tightly. He desperately wished that the world where Madara Uchiha existed was a lie, so that Kushina wouldn't have to step forward and bear all of this.

Unfortunately, one must face reality.

"Alright, Yugito and Kushina will go to Mount Myōboku for protection! The other Jinchūriki will join the battle against Madara Uchiha."

The Third Hokage left out one last thing: if things really came to a desperate situation, he hoped the Jinchuriki would step forward and commit suicide.

He was willing to accept defeat, but his backers would never accept a world of illusions; they would do anything to win.
