Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

First, Liao Wu's Sharingan did not evolve step by step; it was purely Madara who forcibly unlocked it for Liao Wu using his own eye power.

Liao Wu is still unable to unleash the Sharingan's full genjutsu capabilities.

Secondly, although the Third Hokage was old, he was still a Kage-level powerhouse, and had Sharingan experience fighting against Uchiha Kagami when he was young.

Their resistance to illusions is naturally far greater than that of ordinary Jonin.

Thirdly, Liao Wu's body was generated from life spores, making it stronger than a typical White Zetsu clone, capable of replicating even bloodline limits and forbidden techniques.

But a clone is still a clone.

Seeing that he couldn't control the Third Hokage, Liao Wu stopped wasting chakra and shouted at him, "Monkey, I have nothing more to say to you! I won't listen to anything you want to say!"

monkey?!

Many of the ninjas present stared wide-eyed.

The Third Hokage smiled wistfully.

"Monkey" was the nickname of the Third Hokage, because his surname was Sarutobi, which means "to leap like a monkey." It was also because his summoning animal was a monkey.

So when I was little, many of my peers called the Third Hokage "Monkey".

Especially the first and second generation leaders, Danzo and Koharu, their companions would also call them that back then.

But I don't know when it started, no one called the Third Hokage by his nickname anymore.

Because he is the Hokage, those around him must uphold the Hokage's dignity, even his comrades.

It is a workplace rule to avoid using the names of superiors.

Like a joke from the Ming Dynasty:

On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang went out to eat with Shen Wansan.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the pig's trotter and asked what it was.

Shen Wansan replied that this was a pig's round foot, weighing eight taels and eight mace, also called a pig weighing eight. This pig is fed five times a day, also called a pig fed five times a day. It tastes spicy, hence the name spicy big foot. This meat is quite fatty, also called pig fat. This pig is still young, also called a pig brother.

Shen Wansan could never distinguish between the mango and Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang taught him: "You can peel the skin off a mango, but Zhu Yuanzhang will peel yours off."

……

The Third Hokage hadn't heard anyone call him by his childhood nickname in a long time, and when he suddenly heard it again, he felt a little nostalgic, but in an instant, he became serious.

The Third Hokage looked at the giant serpent from Ryuchi Cave beneath Ryogoku's seat, a flicker of heartache in his eyes. Orochimaru's summoning beast had been taken away; it was clear that something terrible had happened to it.

The Third Hokage put aside his heartache for Orochimaru and looked seriously at Liao Wu, saying:

"Liao Wu, you should have heard of the Uchiha clan's history. Do you know what Uchiha Madara represents?"

Liao Wu sneered: "What does it mean? It means the loser. My ancestor was one of the founders of Konoha. The name Konoha was given by my ancestor."

"But he was ostracized from Konoha by the Senju brothers!"

"Konoha outwardly adheres to the Will of Fire and the Jonin election, but in reality, it is still a hereditary succession system of the Senju lineage."

"The Uchiha are like poultry raised in Konoha; one day they will be devoured."

The Third Hokage roared, "It was Madara Uchiha who betrayed his and his comrades' original dream; otherwise, why didn't a single Uchiha follow him back then?"

"The Uchiha are not domesticated poultry in the village, but partners, our partners."

Liao Wu roared even louder than the Third Hokage: "Monkey, stop being hypocritical! If the Uchiha clan were truly allies, why aren't there a single Uchiha ninja here?"

"..."

The Third Hokage was speechless.

……

At this moment, the ANBU ninjas of Konoha surrounded the Uchiha police department.

A tense standoff between the police force and the secret service.

Fugaku asked the two leaders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, "Elders, why do you restrict Uchiha ninjas from leaving the police department?"

Koharu Utatane said, "Fugaku, this is Hiruzen's order. It was Uchiha Ryougo who caused this commotion."

Fugaku and the police force were taken aback.

"Liao Wu! Liao Wu isn't dead?!"

"Impossible. I saw him stabbed in the heart by Minato Namikaze and then self-destruct with an explosive tag."

"The Hokage is lying to us; they must be plotting something against the Uchiha."

Koharu frowned. All the village's elite troops had been transferred to the Third Hokage.

If the Uchiha clan were to rebel at this critical juncture—

"Captain Fugaku!"

"Fugaku!"

The elite members of the Uchiha Police Force all looked at Uchiha Fugaku, hoping that the Uchiha would take a tougher stance against the Anbu.

Having been ostracized by the Konoha leadership for so long and endured so much humiliation, he was already fed up.

The time has come, let us rise up today!

Fugaku gestured for the police officers to be quiet.

"Calm down! Don't act impulsively. I believe the Hokage wouldn't harm us."

"Fugaku!"

The Eighth Generation glared at Fugaku, while the other Uchiha Jonin, including Tekka and Inahisa, all wore expressions of resentment.

With the underworld forces now openly surrounding us, do we still need to remain calm?

Fugaku activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, suppressing the unruly Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

"I already said, calm down! We are Konoha ninjas, and we must not disobey the Hokage's orders."

Koharu and Homura exchanged a glance. Luckily, Fugaku Uchiha was a spineless coward.

Uchiha Itachi secretly watched from the nearby forest, and became somewhat nervous upon seeing the tense standoff between the Anbu and the Uchiha police force.

Have the family and village become so estranged?

……

The Third Hokage is beyond reproach; the others will have to share the burden with their master.

"Liaowu, the village has indeed always been wary of the Uchiha, because we fear the power of the Uchiha, and even more so, Madara Uchiha."

Yuhi Shinku looked at Ryou-e with his red eyes.

Kurenai Yuhi was one of the few people besides the Third Hokage who dared to look directly into Ryoumu's Sharingan, because he was Konoha's number one genjutsu Jonin and also the head instructor for Chunin and Genin.

Asuma, Kurenai, and these middle and lower-ranking ninjas were under the supervision of Yuhi Shinku, who was also Ryou's former superior.

"Shinku-senpai!"

Liao Wu's Sharingan met Yuhi Shinku's red eyes, but this time Liao Wu did not release his Sharingan genjutsu.

Because they knew each other, Liao Wu and Xi Ri Zhen Hong were from the same generation, and he was also Liao Wu's senior.

At the Ninja Academy, Yuhi Shinku and Hatake Sakumo were a year ahead of Ryougo and Tsunade.

Apart from the Third Hokage, most of the ninjas here graduated from the Ninja Academy, and they are all juniors and seniors.

Even so, the illusion still needs to be cast.

Liao Wu has already betrayed his fellow townsman, yet he still cares about this little bit of friendship with his senior.

Liao Wu cast an illusion on Xi Ri Zhen Hong, but Xi Ri Zhen Hong unexpectedly reflected Liao Wu's illusion back at her. Liao Wu hurriedly and frantically dispelled it.

"As expected of Konoha's number one illusionist!"

Kurenai Yuhi, a ninja without the Sharingan or the ability to control her five senses, became Konoha's number one genjutsu master. This was not simply a political denigration of the Uchiha clan by the higher-ups.

Kurenai Yuhi's skill in illusion magic is already very strong.

Yuhi Shinku looked at Ryoubu and said, "Ryoubu, you should know the destructive power Madara Uchiha has had on the ninja world. Why are you helping him regain his strength?"

Liao Wu didn't know if Madara's White Zetsu was eavesdropping, so he assumed that Madara's White Zetsu was monitoring him, and he always used respectful terms when referring to Madara.

"Shinku, I don't want to hear your nonsense. Hashirama Senju's ninja world was a flawed world. My ancestor was resurrected by purging this chaos."

"If you know what's good for you, Konoha, you'd better surrender obediently and offer up your wives and children. Otherwise, the day my ancestor comes out of seclusion will be the day you perish."
