Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

The Slug Sage blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him, and didn't explain clearly: "Anyway, it's something very wicked. Never mind, Lord Hashirama, I need to ask you for a favor!"

Hashirama stood at attention: "Master, please speak!"

The Slug Sage said, "Uchiha Ryou is heading to Ryuchi Cave to seek Sage Mode from the White Snake Sage. I'd like Lord Hashirama to help me deal with him."

"What?!"

Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise, "This brat is already so strong and he's still not satisfied? He wants to learn Sage Mode too?"

Tobirama said grimly, "Brother, we must stop this evil Uchiha. He implanted your cells, and I suspect he even transplanted your talent for Sage Mode!"

"If he learns the magic of Ryuchi Cave, he'll be the second you."

Hashirama shook his head: "No—obstructing someone from attaining enlightenment is tantamount to killing their parents."

Tobirama angrily said, "Brother, do you still consider Madara your best friend? Madara is now threatening the entire ninja world, and Ryougo, this accomplice, must be eliminated."

Orochimaru is now on Tobirama's side: "First Hokage, I have to tell you something. That brat, Ryou, is extremely lecherous and not faithful to Tsunade."

"What?!"

The Thousand Hands Brothers were both enraged.

Tobirama, in particular, exclaimed: "You little brat, you're not satisfied with marrying the Senju clan's princess? You even dare to go out and steal food!"

Hashirama couldn't completely believe him, so he asked the Slug Sage, "Master, is Orochimaru right? Did that brat Ryougo really let Tsunade down?"

Slug Sage nodded: "Yes, that brat is the most evil Uchiha I've ever seen. Women are his playthings, and Lady Tsunade is still under his control."

Tobirama angrily retorted, "Brother, what did I say? The entire Uchiha clan is sexually apathetic, except for this one lecherous oddball. He was born evil."

Hashirama was also a little angry: "That brat dared to let my Tsunade down. He really needs to be taught a lesson."

Tobirama exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, let's go! We'll head to Ryuchi Cave and ambush him!"

"No--"

Hashirama shook his head: "Let's wait until he's completed his Sage Mode training after passing the White Snake Sage's trials. I need to test his abilities!"

"Big brother, you—"

Tobirama panicked. According to Orochimaru's intelligence, Ryougo's power was already very close to that of Madara and Hashirama.

If he learns Sage Mode, wouldn't he become the second Madara Uchiha, or even his own older brother?

How come my brother has no sense of the bigger picture at all?

Hashirama didn't say much to Tobirama: "Tobirama, that's enough. I'm going to follow my master to learn Yin-Yang Release!"

Tobirama sighed.

The Slug Sage led Hashirama into the mist, leaving Orochimaru and Tobirama staring at each other in bewilderment.

Orochimaru concealed his hand seals in his sleeves, ready to use them to counter Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique at any time.

Without Hashirama, no one can control Tobirama!

Tobirama found an open space nearby and sat down, then said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, tell me again in detail what major events have happened in the ninja world during the years my brother and I have been gone!"

The information they had previously obtained was mainly a brief summary of Orochimaru's journey, and he couldn't explain it in detail.

Orochimaru nodded: "Alright! I'll explain it to the Second Hokage in detail!"

……

Leaves, roots.

After Kabuto fused with Orochimaru's white snake cells, his body showed signs of albinism, and the Root researchers examined Kabuto's condition.

Seeing that there were no side effects, Danzo retrieved the scroll of the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation and had Kabuto learn it.

Kabuto was studying the Impure World Reincarnation technique very seriously.

He was intelligent and knew that his greatest value lay in learning this forbidden technique called Impure World Reincarnation.

If he can't learn it, Danzo will get rid of him.

On the other hand, Kabuto was skeptical of the news that Danzo had told him about his adoptive mother, Yakushi Nonou, being killed by Uchiha Ryoubu.

However, there is no way to verify this.

He can only climb up step by step, become stronger, and then investigate the truth of the matter.

If it really was Uchiha Ryougo who killed him, he would find a way to take revenge.

If not, then we need to find a way to rescue the director and everyone at the orphanage.

The roots are too dark; this is not a paradise where you can eat your fill, but a dark underground world.

They must leave.

Danzo nodded as he watched Kabuto diligently studying the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The pocket is not a blank slate.

He has a foundation in ninja, and his ability to learn medical ninjutsu, which requires extremely high control over chakra, proves that he has the talent to become a top-tier ninja.

Such a person is a talent no matter where they go.

However, the Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique, and Kabuto couldn't possibly learn it just by looking at it once.

Unless he is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

Kabuto was practicing the Impure World Reincarnation technique on the side, while Danzo was pondering how to defeat Madara Uchiha in his own seat.

The Allied Shinobi Forces were just a smokescreen; the real target for Madara was the Impure World Reincarnation.

The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, Sakumo, Dai...

Danzo thought about it for a while, and almost forgot about the Third Hokage's father—Sarutobi Sasuke!

Danzo was speechless: "How can Orochimaru do anything like this?"

But then I thought, Orochimaru even robbed the graves of the First and Second Hokage, what else is he incapable of doing?

"Orochimaru's father, I remember, was the successor of the previous generation of Ryuchi Cave, right?"

Danzo stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Then Danzo looked at Kabuto, who was learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and sneered inwardly. Once Kabuto mastered the Impure World Reincarnation, he would have him resurrect Orochimaru's parents using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Does this venomous snake truly have no humanity?

There are also Liao Wu's parents. His parents were once elite members of the Uchiha clan and heroes who died on the battlefield.

We'll bring them all out of the mire then, and see if this traitor has truly lost all humanity. He doesn't even care about his own parents anymore.

And Ban's parents, younger brother, and relatives—

Danzo gradually realized that he could not defeat them, but he could have their dead relatives fight them.

If you resurrect the spirits of the Uchiha clan, and they see their ancestors besieging them, can those two evil Uchiha still remain calm?

Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Perhaps their ancestors, just by standing there, could make them die of shame.

As Kabuto learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he secretly glanced at Danzo's expression and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Danzo's old, bandaged expression is truly terrifying.

Danzo only thought about it with a wicked sense of humor; he couldn't possibly expect his enemy to have a change of heart.

People always have to face reality.

Danzo took out a scroll, and Kabuto secretly looked at it. This ninjutsu scroll was called "The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique".

I don't know what "兜" means.

As Danzo looked through the scroll, he lectured Kabuto: "Kabuto, what does a ninja mean to you?"

Kabuto quoted the answer he'd heard from Nonou: "The Dean once told me..."

"Ninjas are not just tools for killing and completing missions, but also for protecting children who have lost their support and guarding the light in their eyes."

Danzo snorted: "Foolish theory, ninjas are those who stand in the darkness, bearing all the filth alone, and silently protecting the village."

"To protect the village, ninjas can become shadows; to achieve the greater good, they will use any despicable and cruel means."

"I don't care if the world despises me or smears me. As long as the village can survive and the country can endure, I am willing to fall into the deepest hell."

"Kabuto, if I unfortunately perish in battle, you will inherit the will of Root and continue to protect Konoha in the darkness, carrying on my will!"

Kabuto was speechless. Danzo's words were noble, but did you use my companions as test subjects in order to protect the village?

Lord Danzo, that's enough!
