Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

The three Shinobi World Wars made Tobirama realize the drawbacks of Hashirama's balancing policy.

He wasn't surprised; he had guessed that this day would come.

War is inevitable; as long as people exist, there will be conflict.

Furthermore, confining the war to the world of ninjas is also an advantage.

If the flames of war were to spread to the secular world, the destruction would be all-encompassing.

The country is very willing to let ninjas, a high-quality military force, replace a large number of ordinary people in the war.

During the Warring States period, ninjas were a group of mercenaries who fought for their country and received high rewards.

In the era of ninja villages, ninja villages were closely tied to the nation, but their duty remained to fight for the nation.

Only when they demonstrate their value will the nation provide strong support to ninja villages.

If they fail to demonstrate their value, as in the original story where Sunagakure suffered repeated defeats, causing the Daimyo of the Land of Wind to become extremely disappointed and thus reduce the funding allocated to Sunagakure.

What's outrageous is that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind even entrusted Konoha with his country's mission.

This is like the Americans sending troops to steal their oil – it's utterly absurd.

The essence of ninjas is war. Tobirama saw this essence, which is why he worked with Hashirama to balance the five great ninja nations.

Unifying the world is not something that ninjas, as fighting tools, should be thinking about; it should be decided by the daimyo, the ruler of a nation.

For example, if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire decides to unify the ninja world and become Emperor, then Konoha will expand its military with all its might to help the Daimyo of the Land of Fire unify the ninja world and end the millennia-long conflict in the ninja world.

After the war ends, Konoha ninjas will act as executioners, suppressing various revolutionary uprisings.

What ninjas are all about is how to kill. They are always the sharpest blades of the ruling class.

Therefore, Tobirama wouldn't think about meaningless issues like peace in the ninja world.

Protecting the village and obtaining more funding from the daimyo should be the Hokage's priority.

To be a bit cunning, the ninja villages would love for the war to escalate, so that the daimyo would invest in them regardless of cost, allowing the ninja villages to train even more ninjas with the huge sums of resources they received.

Madara and Hashirama pursued peace because they had transcended the mindset of ninjas and begun to view the world from the perspective of revolutionaries.

Orochimaru explained the composition of the Allied Shinobi Forces to Tobirama.

For example, the forces deployed by the Allied Shinobi Forces, their commanders, and their command centers.

Orochimaru spoke of the Allied Shinobi Forces' headquarters: "The headquarters is located in Konoha, relying on the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transmission Technique, combined with a sensory barrier and technological communication—a three-in-one system."

"To achieve ultra-long-distance, real-time, and all-domain information transmission and command."

"Although the chief of staff is Onoki, what can that old stubborn Onoki advise on? It is Nara Shikaku of the Nara family who is in charge."

Tobirama nodded. He had never met Shikaku. By the time Shikaku was born, Tobirama's grave had been cleared of grass several times.

But the name Nara itself proves a lot.

Command still requires highly intelligent personnel.

Orochimaru added, "However, the Allied Shinobi Forces are just a smokescreen. The real killing move is a rapid reaction force composed of the Five Kage and many elite Jonin."

"The Allied Shinobi Forces will launch the main attack on the front lines, while covering the Five Kage's infiltration into Amegakure to find Madara and fight him to the death."

"However, because Limbo is unsolvable, the Five Kage cannot pose a threat to Madara. They must rely on Edo Tensei to restrain Madara and then seal him away."

"Danzo ordered me to go back, wanting the First and Second Hokage to join the war."

Tobirama thought for a moment, then asked Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, who have you imprisoned?"

Orochimaru listed all the people he had resurrected: "Among my peers are Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha; Might Guy, who mastered the Eight Gates; Dan Kato, who mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique; and Hiruko, who mastered the Oni-Garaku Technique."

"Uchiha Kagami, the father of the previous generation's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Sasuke."

"Time was too short. If I had a little more time, I would have used Edo Tensei to summon Aburame Shiguro of the Aburame clan as well!"

"Shiguro's nano-poisonous insects must be a real headache for Ban."

Orochimaru was still somewhat dissatisfied with the number of people he had reanimated.

But this is also his limitation. In the original work, Kabuto was able to use Edo Tensei on so many people because he had Sage Mode.

Orochimaru doesn't have Sage Mode; the reason he can use Edo Tensei on so many people is because he has White Zetsu cells implanted in him and has abundant chakra.

"..."

Tobirama's brain short-circuited for a moment: "Sasuke? How could you even rob your monkey father's grave?"

Orochimaru explained, "Sarutobi Sasuke is proficient in all ninjutsu and is a ninja as famous as the First and Second Hokage during the Sengoku period."

"Didn't the teacher say he was willing to sacrifice everything for the village? What does sacrificing his own father matter?"

"If Danzo's father hadn't been just an ordinary ninja, I would have definitely resurrected him using Edo Tensei to see if that hypocrite would be willing to disturb his father's peace."

"(｡ŏ_ŏ)."

Tobirama was silenced after being defeated. The ninjas of the new era are becoming increasingly evil, and their actions are increasingly devoid of tact and morality.

In the first battle, they would summon the enemy's entire family.

"Orochimaru, why don't you just resurrect Madara's family, and that brat Ryou's family too!"

Orochimaru nodded: "Sure! But I don't know where they buried them. Could the Second Hokage provide me with the exact location?"

"Orochimaru, are you really going to insult my ancestors just because I said it casually?"

Tobirama shook his head: "A person should have some bottom line, otherwise things will only end badly."

Although the older generation played aggressively, they still had to maintain a certain level of self-respect.

Orochimaru sneered, "It's best to tear off the mask of civility."

He will definitely investigate the ancestral tombs of the Uchiha clan and resurrect them using Edo Tensei.

He wanted to see how interesting the expressions of Liao Wu and Ban, those two evil Uchiha, would be when they saw their ancestor become their puppet.

Tobirama calculated that Sakumo, Dai, and Dan were all from the same era as Tsunade and Orochimaru.

They were still polishing shoes when Tobirama died; we have no idea how strong they were.

Just by listening to the techniques they've mastered, you can tell what they're good at!

These ninjas were all elite ninjas of Konoha who had passed away.

However, it is ultimately limited by the constraints of a conventional ninja and has not yet exceeded that framework.

It's difficult to deal with spots that have an eternal kaleidoscope, let alone spots with the Rinnegan.

Tobirama made a decisive statement: "Orochimaru, my brother and I will go to Amegakure to join the battle. Before that, let's go and snipe Uchiha Ryou."

"His threat should not be underestimated; in a sense, he was the one who released Ban from the underground world."

"If he can unleash it once, he can unleash it a second time. We can't defeat Madara completely without controlling this kid."

Orochimaru nodded, a hint of greed in his heart. This time, he could completely capture Liao Wu alone and seize his body.

Although Orochimaru didn't stay in Ryuchi Cave for very long, he was still considered a successor of Ryuchi Cave, and Ryuchi Cave was his home ground.

With his group of powerful henchmen, they're sure to be able to take down that brat Liao Wu.

If Orochimaru obtains his body, he can completely transform into a dragon.

"There's no time to lose, Second Hokage! Let's head to Ryuchi Cave immediately!"

"good!"
