Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Before leaving, Orochimaru told Tobirama one more piece of news: "Second Hokage, I forgot to tell you something before, that is, Jiraiya has taken on a member of the Uchiha clan as his student!"

Tobirama was taken aback: "Jiraiya?!"

Then it dawned on him: "They're children of the Ogata family, the current generation's successors of Mount Myōboku!"

Orochimaru nodded.

Tobirama immediately flew into a rage: "What is this kid doing? Taking a member of the Uchiha clan as his disciple? Doesn't he know the Uchiha clan is a no-go zone for the Senju clan?"

Orochimaru told him the reason as he left Shikkotsu Forest with Tobirama.

"The child Jiraiya took in is named Uchiha Shisui. He is special because he is a descendant of Kagami."

Tobirama's cold expression softened a bit. Uchiha Kagami was a member of Tobirama's elite guard and one of the few Uchiha clan members who had gained Tobirama's trust.

"I can accept that Jing is a descendant of a narrow-minded clan."

Orochimaru said, "Jiraiya not only took him as his disciple, but also made him sign a summoning scroll for Mount Myōboku."

"What?!"

Tobirama exclaimed in alarm, "How can this be allowed? What's so special about that child named Shisui?"

Orochimaru said, "He has awakened the Uchiha clan's ultimate eye technique—the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"(°ﾛ°٥)."

Tobirama was somewhat taken aback, then asked, "How old is Shisui?"

"He was about 11 years old. I know it's hard to believe, but that's what Danzo's information said."

Tobirama touched his forehead, unsure how to express his shock: "11 years old? Madara and Izuna didn't even open their eyes at that age."

"but--"

Tobirama quickly accepted the fact that Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at an absurdly young age, saying, "The Uchiha clan's talent depends on two things: aptitude and emotions."

"This kid named Uchiha Shisui must have experienced a huge turning point in his life!"

Orochimaru shook his head: "I don't know. According to Danzo's intelligence analysis, Shisui's talent at the Ninja Academy was not top-notch. He was very arrogant and couldn't stand anyone surpassing him."

"He's a very traditional Uchiha!"

"The turning point came after he became a ninja. His squad had a member who was ranked number one among his peers, and that peer was killed in action during a mission."

"Since then, Shisui has become a completely different person, and the superior bloodline of the Uchiha began to show."

Tobirama nodded: "It's estimated that witnessing the death of his comrades awakened the Uchiha bloodline, but that's not enough to make him a contractor of Mount Myōboku."

Orochimaru continued, "Shisui possesses a very powerful eye technique called Kotoamatsukami, which can silently alter the will of others."

"He used this technique to extract information about Liao Wu's Rinnegan, but he didn't expect that he couldn't control Liao Wu permanently. Instead, Liao Wu stole his Mangekyou Sharingan."

"In order to prevent Ryogoku from obtaining the power of Kotoamatsukami, Shisui destroyed his own eyes."

"Second Hokage, how about it? Do you still believe the Uchiha are an evil clan?"

"..."

Tobirama did not reply, his gaze unfathomable as he stared at the giant glowing mushroom in the Shikkotsu Forest, as if he saw his own shattered reflection.

Orochimaru didn't provoke Tobirama; he stopped and waited for him.

He shared his understanding: "Jiraiya was a sentimental person. Shisui sacrificed so much for Konoha, and my teacher only praised him with a few words."

"Elders like Danzo and Koharu don't care about Shisui's eyes; they're just happy that Shisui destroyed the evil Kaleidoscope."

"Second Hokage, are you just as foolish as they are? Do you think the Uchiha clan should just fight amongst themselves?"

Orochimaru is a radical. He hates feudal and decadent things and likes to see changes in everything.

Just as he said—

I find things that move interesting, but things that stop are boring... A windmill that doesn't turn isn't worth watching at all.

Now we must use the momentum from the destruction of Konoha to get the windmill turning.

The prologue to Naruto Shippuden is the plan to destroy Konoha, with Orochimaru personally destroying the Third Hokage's old windmill.

Thus, Tsunade's reforms as the Fifth Hokage gradually swept through Konoha Village, which was indulging in a dream of peace.

Orochimaru was very distressed by the chaos in the ninja world, fearing that he would be hung from a tree by Madara Uchiha.

But on the other hand, I am also very happy.

He saw tremendous changes, far exceeding any previous transformations; this upheaval was not just about Liaowu's growth.

Orochimaru is also growing rapidly.

When a strong wind passes by, it will knock away some of the weak grasses, but the remaining ones will stand tall.

Orochimaru's goal is to become the one who stands firm and unshakeable.

If Orochimaru can defeat Madara Uchiha, then he is the most outstanding figure!

Tobirama moved and headed towards the exit of Shikkotsu Forest.

He said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, I have always believed that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the root of the trouble."

"There are certainly doves like Kagami and Shisui, but there are also hawks like Ban and Ryou. No, they are not hawks, but terrorists."

"Even if Madara and Ryougo are defeated, as long as the war continues, tragedies will occur, and the Uchiha will awaken their evil bloodline."

"This is not my subjective conjecture, but data and experiments. I have seen too many Uchiha people go to extremes because of the loss of love."

Orochimaru responded, "So, the Second Hokage is inclined to eliminate the Uchiha?"

Tobirama shook his head: "It's because the Uchiha clan no longer practices ninja!"

Orochimaru sneered: "The Uchiha clan's enemies aren't just the Senju clan; they have enemies all over the ninja world. Without a powerful deterrent, they'll just be courting their own destruction!"

Tobirama shook his head: "I won't say anymore. The Uchiha problem is no longer something I can consider, because I'm already dead."

"Let's deal with that brat Liao Wu first! He's cheating on his wife with my Senju family's princess by his side; he deserves to die!"

……

The next day.

Liao Wu slept on Wu's body for a while, and only woke up rubbing his sleepy eyes when he heard Tang Guo's voice.

He yawned, then looked around curiously and asked, "Have we arrived at Ryuchi Cave yet?"

The little slug said, "Ryuchi Cave is hidden within an underground barrier. This is the entrance to the underground barrier of Ryuchi Cave."

Liao Wu looked around at his surroundings, but he couldn't see them very clearly because the area was filled with miasma and dense forest that never dissipated.

Candy said, "This place is far from the Ninja World! Strangely, there's a village here!"

"A village?!"

Liao Wu was puzzled, so he let the candy and slug climb onto his body and jumped off Wu's body.

Satoru was extremely curious about the legendary Ryuchi Cave, so he transformed into the human form of the black and white cat maid he had seen before and followed Ryo.

Liao Wu looked at the village shrouded in thick fog.

The village consists of low, rustic wooden houses and winding stone-paved roads, with the houses arranged in a staggered pattern along the mountainside.

Around the village entrance stand countless roughly carved snake totems, with stone snakes coiled and flicking their tongues, their patterns ferocious. This is a village that worships large snakes.
