Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

The Fourth Raikage said somewhat impatiently, "Hiruzen-senpai, when do we have to wait? We can storm Amegakure now."

The Fourth Raikage was eager for battle, and now that the First Division of ninjas had all assembled, his warlike spirit could no longer wait.

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and chuckled, "Ah, don't rush. Let's wait for the command center's instructions. Let the professionals handle the professional tasks."

"That same excuse again!"

The Fourth Raikage simply couldn't stand it anymore.

The Third Hokage said to the ninjas around him, "Let all the units return to their camps to rest first; they won't be able to go to the battlefield for a while."

"good!"

The ninja immediately went to inform the greenhorns standing below to disperse.

Seeing that there was nothing important to do and that he couldn't wait any longer, the Fourth Raikage took his younger brother to the nearby mountains to train his muscles.

The Third Hokage was waiting for the other villages to gather, and also for news of Orochimaru.

He looked at Danzo: "Danzo, hasn't Orochimaru replied yet?"

Danzo shook his head.

The Third Hokage frowned slightly: "What is this guy doing? Does he still have his own plans at such a crucial time?"

The mysterious hooded figure spoke up: "Lord Hokage, no need to rush. Orochimaru gave me a copy of the Impure World Technique formula, and I will summon the Impure World Body to deal with Madara Uchiha when the time comes."

The Third Hokage looked at the mysterious hooded figure and said, "Hiruko, do you know what Orochimaru is doing?"

The mysterious hooded man was Hiruko, who came along as Orochimaru's representative.

Hiruko shook his head: "I don't know. Orochimaru, that venomous snake, always acts on his own. In my opinion, if the battle situation is not good, he might hide in Ryuchi Cave."

Jiraiya scratched his head: "That really suits Orochimaru's personality."

The Third Hokage sighed and asked Hiruko, "Hiruko, how many Edo Tensei bodies can you summon?"

Hiruko said, "Aside from the First and Second Hokage, I can summon all of Orochimaru's reanimated forms. These include White Fang, Dai, Kagami..."

When Hiruko mentioned Sarutobi Sasuke, he glanced cautiously at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage remained expressionless; his face wasn't particularly grim.

He already knew.

But Jiraiya and Minato were dumbfounded when they first learned about it.

Orochimaru is truly capable of any kind of monstrous act.

The Third Hokage comforted everyone, saying, "This is nothing to be ashamed of. My father was a great ninja, and he would surely be happy to fight for the future of the ninja world."

"If I unfortunately die in battle in the future, then resurrect me using Edo Tensei to protect Konoha!"

The Third Hokage thought of the Reaper Death Seal, a sealing technique that would pull his soul into the stomach of the Shinigami (Death God) after its execution.

They probably won't even have a chance to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Everyone admired the Third Hokage's noble character.

Jiraiya followed up by saying, "If I also die in battle, take back a part of my remains."

"If the village is doomed, then let my unearthed form protect it."

Minato also said that he would protect the village even if it meant his death.

Danzo chuckled inwardly. Did these people really think that anyone could learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique?

Alright, alright, since you've put it that way, then from now on you'll become the underground reserves of the Roots, protecting the village in the darkness.

Kakuzu, who was listening to the story of Edo Tensei, had an expression that could not be seen because of his mask, but it was extremely gloomy.

If I die, won't I be summoned by these people from Konoha and disturb the peace?

Tobirama Senju's techniques are truly insidious beyond measure.

Upon hearing this, the hermit Fukasaku couldn't help but say, "That's enough. The dead shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the living, as this will lead to an imbalance between yin and yang."

Different perspectives lead to different problems.

The Third Hokage and Danzo saw the power boost from the Impure World Reincarnation technique, while the two great sages of Mount Myōboku saw the imbalance of Yin and Yang caused by its misuse.

The Third Hokage bowed to the two sages and said, "Sages, I understand what you mean, but this time is an exception."

"We can't defeat Madara by our own strength alone."

The hermit Fukasaku said with great compassion, "Since you've brought the village's heroes into the war, you should at least make up for their regrets! For example, let the dead see their grown-up children."

Fukasaku the Hermit hoped that these heroic spirits, resurrected from the wasteland, would fight willingly for their descendants, rather than be used as puppets in the war.

The Third Hokage nodded: "The Sage is right. Hiruko, summon all the heroes who sleep beneath the earth! Let the heroes of Konoha see if this era is worth protecting."

Hiruko nodded: "Alright, come to think of it, I guess I'm a ninja with a bad reputation!"

The Third Hokage said, "The things you did are all sealed away by the Anbu and will not be exposed. In the end, you were still an excellent Konoha Jonin."

Thanks!

Hiruko nodded and thanked the Third Hokage. Hiruko also had some relatives in Konoha. Everyone hopes to die with honor and be well-regarded after death.

He is also included!

Hiruko then summoned all the reanimated bodies except for the First and Second Hokage.

Shuo Mao, Dai, Jing, Duan...

Inside a Chunin tent.

Asuma showed off his chakra weapon to Kurenai and Shizune.

"See this! Red, Shizune, this is my Flying Swallow, made for me by my older brother. It's a chakra weapon."

Kurenai and Shizune looked on with great envy, for chakra weapons were made from the finest metals that could conduct chakra.

It can be infused with chakra that has undergone nature transformation, giving it power beyond that of ordinary weapons.

For example, when combined with wind, chakra weapons become exceptionally sharp, capable of penetrating even steel.

However, chakra metal is extremely expensive, and even Jonin might not be able to afford it.

Asuma, despite being only a Chunin, possessed a pair of flying swallows made of chakra metal, which made Kurenai and Shizune extremely envious.

Hong was somewhat unconvinced and snorted, "Asuma, stop showing off. A master's pebbles are far more powerful than your flying shuriken."

"You're only a Chunin and you're already using such good weapons. Be careful you don't become a hot commodity on the battlefield."

Asuma waved his Flying Swallow and said, "I'm not afraid. This time I'm going to make a name for myself and become the youngest Jonin after Kakashi and Obito."

"By the way, where are Kakashi and Obito? I haven't seen their team."

Shizune said, "Kakashi and Obito are Jonin. They are responsible for protecting Kushina and Yugito-senpai in the village."

Asuma said with some regret, "I see! That's a real shame. The two of them won't be able to witness my invincible prowess on the battlefield."

"This time, I will charge to the front, capture Uchiha Ryoubu alive, and make a name for my Sarutobi clan."

Hong advised, "Asuma, let's just stay in the logistics and transport supplies. Don't think about going to the battlefield to make a name for yourself."

"If you run into that big bad guy Uchiha Ryou, you might get kicked to death before you even get a chance to touch the hem of his clothes."

Asma was somewhat hurt: "Red, how could you say that? Don't you have a grudge against him? How can you speak to our enemy?"

Kurenai wiped her sword and kunai, somewhat dejectedly saying, "It's not that I'm speaking up for my enemy, but Uchiha Ryouu... I don't know what kind of powerful drug he took?"

"Even Jiraiya and Minato are no match for him!"

"On the other hand, I haven't even mastered the art of darkness yet. I won't even be qualified to shine shoes for others anymore!"

Hong has lost her former pride.

War may unleash a ninja's latent potential, but it doesn't mean they can use cheat codes!

Although Hong has a high talent for illusion magic, she cannot convert it into her natural talent in a short period of time.

Obito was able to learn Kakashi's Chidori in a short time because Obito's Sharingan had been awakened, and the talent belonging to the Uchiha elite clan had been awakened.

But Kurenai is different; she was already quite pleased that she had made some progress in her Dark Arts training.

And what about one's enemies?

Although Liao Wu is not as unparalleled as Uchiha Madara and is the number one threat to the Allied Shinobi Forces, he should not be underestimated.
