Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Longdi Cave.

The White Snake Immortal took a puff of his old pipe and then shivered. Everything that happened on Earth could reach the White Snake Immortal's ears.

Therefore, the White Snake Immortal heard Liao Wu's thoughts about the Grass Python through his ability to hear.

"This kid is even more wicked than Indra was back then!"

"However, his actions are very much in line with the style of Ryūchi-dō, except that he has absolutely no bottom line!"

After exhaling a cloud of smoke, the White Snake Sage said to the three snake maidens serving him, "You three, go and prepare for Uchiha Ryou's trial!"

"Uchiha Ryougo?"

The three Snake Princesses were somewhat puzzled. Ryuchi Cave was not completely isolated from the outside world. When the three Snake Princesses went out to buy humans in the market, they would gather information about the ninja world.

The biggest news in the ninja world right now is that Madara Uchiha is going to launch the Eye of the Moon Plan, and Madara was released by Liao Wu.

Therefore, many people harbor deep resentment towards Liao Wu, saying that Liao Wu opened Pandora's box.

Princess Ichikishima said, "Grandmaster, Uchiha Ryogoku is one of Uchiha Madara's men. Uchiha Madara wants to dominate the entire ninja world, and he may clash with you in the future."

"The founder imparted the Ryūe Sage Technique to the Uchiha clan; isn't that aiding the enemy?"

The White Snake Immortal took a puff of his cigarette and said, "So what if I aid the enemy? Everything is predestined. His coming to Dragon Earth Cave is a connection between us."

"Moreover, he still needs to pass trials before he can receive my immortal arts inheritance!"

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since the Uchiha clan has visited Ryuchi Cave!"

Princess Ichikishima asked in confusion, "Have any members of the Uchiha clan been to Ryuchi Cave?"

The White Snake Immortal nodded: "Last time it was Indra. He came to my cave to ask for immortal techniques, but his attitude was not that of someone asking for immortal techniques."

"He wanted to turn me into his summoned beast, and I fought him in a fierce battle."

"That brat Indra has pretty strong eye power! He almost used illusion magic to control me, but luckily I bit him."

"However, no matter how strong Indra is, he is ultimately no match for the ravages of time."

The White Snake Immortal said with a hint of smugness.

Time is merciless, yet also deeply affectionate. It makes the dead die, and the living live; it makes the cursed perish, and the praiseworthy flourish.

Although the White Snake Immortal is not the strongest, he is the most long-lived, because the White Snake represents longevity.

Those who cannot defeat it will be devoured by it, while those who can defeat it will not survive it.

The three snake princesses listened as the White Snake Immortal recounted his glorious past.

The White Snake Sage took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "By the way, how did Orochimaru's two disciples' trials go?"

Princess Tsurugi cupped her hands and said, "Respectfully, Orochimaru's two disciples, Anko and Yamato, have both passed the tests of desire and perseverance, but they both failed at the third test of willpower."

The three trials of Ryuchi Cave are each overseen by one of the three Snake Princesses.

Princess Tianxin is in charge of the first trial, a test of desire and willpower.

She would use her magic to conjure up delicacies from a magnificent castle, disguising herself as a beautiful young girl to entertain the challengers; if the challenger ate the food, the challenge would fail, and the challenger would be eaten by the Goddess of the Field Heart.

Princess Ichikishima is in charge of the second trial, the test of wisdom and perseverance. She sets up games and puzzles to test the test takers' thinking, patience, and perseverance.

Tuanjin-hime is in charge of the third trial, the test of will and mentality, which is the most difficult.

Princess Tsurugi bites the neck of the trial participant and uses her powerful illusion magic to create the illusion that the trial participant fears most, forcing the trial participant to confront their inner demons.

Many test-takers have failed at this stage in the past.

Both Hongdou and Yamato are asleep in their own inner demons and illusions, unable to wake up.

What people fear most is not the monsters and demons of the outside world, but the self within themselves that they are unwilling to acknowledge.

Cowardice, regret!

In reality, you can escape, but in a fantasy world, you have to confront your truest self.

That was destiny.

The more you try to escape fate, the more likely you are to run into it on the way.

Human thoughts are like pool water; they are difficult to clear and bright once they are disturbed by external factors.

Princess Tsuru asked the White Snake Sage, "Master, should we lower the requirements for Orochimaru's two disciples?"

The White Snake Immortal casually asked, "Why?"

Princess Tsurugi explained, "Now that the chaos in the ninja world has spread to the Holy Land, I think our Ryuchi Cave should cultivate some useful humans."

The White Snake Immortal exhaled a puff of smoke: "Fate is fate. Since they can't face their inner selves, then they have no fate with my Dragon Earth Cave."

"If we can't get out of here by tomorrow, then let's deal with it!"

"yes!"

"Alright, go and prepare for Uchiha Ryou's trial!"

"Um?!"

"Why did Orochimaru bring someone back? Tobirama Senju, although not strong, has an extremely rare talent in jutsu."

The White Snake Sage sensed that Orochimaru and Tobirama had entered Ryuchi Cave.

The White Snake Immortal's ability to perceive everything through the earth is not absolute; she cannot perceive those with immortal techniques or the power of the Six Paths.

Orochimaru and Tobirama were previously in Shikkotsu Forest, where the Slug Sage was the nemesis of the White Snake Sage.

The White Snake Immortal could not hear what was happening in the Slug Immortal's Wet Bone Forest.

"Ryuchi-dong has really become lively lately; all sorts of monsters and ghosts are flocking here!"

……

The border of the Land of Rain, the Konoha camp.

The entire ninja camp stretched out like the vast earth, with no end in sight.

Each squad stood in formation, with Jonin at the front and Chunin at the back, and the uniforms and armor of each clan, ninja family, and detachment were clearly distinguishable.

The figures in the shadows were hidden on both sides of the formation like a flock of crows.

Countless headbands gleamed with a cold white light under the sunlight, and instead of the bird symbol of Konoha, they bore the character "忍" (ninja).

This is the Allied Shinobi Forces, an alliance of ninjas formed by the five great ninja nations, the Land of Iron, and various smaller nations.

Unlike in the original story, the Five Kage did not gather their allied forces beforehand, form a dozen or so squares, or explain their reasons for participating in the war.

There's no need for that. The five great ninja villages set up their command headquarters in Konoha, with Nara Shikaku, the head of the Nara clan, in charge.

The Allied Shinobi Forces were divided into three battalions from the directions of the major nations and the Land of Rain.

The First Battalion is the main force, composed of troops from the Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Iron.

In addition, there are some small countries, such as the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Bears, and the Land of Craftsmen...

As seen on the map, these countries are all located on the right side of the Land of Rain, so their forces merged to form the First Battalion.

The Second Battalion is a ninja force composed of members from the Land of Earth and some smaller countries.

The Third Battalion is a ninja force composed of members from the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, and some smaller countries.

They surrounded the Land of Rain from three directions, making it completely impenetrable.

Stray dogs that try to enter the Land of Rain will be slapped twice and then captured by the Allied Shinobi Forces to serve as ninja dogs in trenches.

However, Kirigakure in the Land of Water is a bit strange; it's located on the right side of the map and hasn't joined forces with Konoha's troops.

Instead, they traveled by water to enter the Land of Rivers and merge with the Land of Wind.

It's no surprise that the higher-ups in the Allied Shinobi Forces thought that water transportation would be more convenient.

The First Division at this time.

The Allied Shinobi Forces formed square formations composed of Jonin and Chunin.

No one whispered among themselves; only the soft clatter of ninja tools and the rhythmic sound of breathing filled the air.

Ninjas were an elite military unit, and this was the first time they had ever assembled and stood in formation like samurai.

Moreover, this war no longer emphasizes individual or small-team combat, but rather large-scale troop operations.

In large-scale military operations, strict military discipline is essential.

In large-scale battles, Iwagakure is the most experienced village, always launching a coordinated attack.

All the ninjas stood still, waiting for orders from headquarters.

With just a single command, these tens of thousands of elite troops will transform into a storm sweeping across the battlefield, rushing into the Land of Rain and crushing everything in their path.

The high-ranking officials in Konoha are mainly the Third Hokage.

This time, instead of staying in Konoha's command center, he led Danzo, Jiraiya, Minato, Kurenai Yuhi, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, and other elite troops directly to the front lines.

There are also the elites of Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee...

The two great sages of Mount Myōboku, along with the giant toads of Mount Myōboku, arrived and were incorporated into the Allied Shinobi Forces.

In addition, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and others were accompanied by Kakuzu, a representative of the rogue ninja world, and there was also a mysterious person wearing a hood.
