Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

After the Fourth Raikage returned from the river, medical ninjas from Kumogakure examined and treated his body.

The Fourth Raikage's face was ashen, and a lingering murderous aura emanated from his brows.

If you lose, you're naturally not going to be in a good mood.

If it were a pure hand-to-hand combat, the Fourth Raikage would have no grounds for complaint if he lost, but Liao Wu played dirty tricks on him and didn't engage in hand-to-hand combat.

That's disgusting!

Killer Bee comforted the Fourth Raikage: "Brother, you're too stupid. How could someone as cunning as Uchiha Ryougo fight you fair and square?"

The Fourth Raikage slammed a punch into Killer Bee's head, roaring, "Don't you dare call your brother stupid! You idiot! You bastard!"

The Fourth Raikage felt much more relaxed after punching Killer Bee.

He apologized to the Third Hokage, saying, "I'm sorry, Hiruzen-senpai, I've disgraced the Allied Forces!"

The Third Hokage comforted him, saying, "It's alright. There are winners and losers in wars between men. What's most disappointing is that none of us dared to accept the challenge."

Mifune also tried to persuade the Fourth Raikage: "Raikage, you are still young. Ryogoku is older than you. It's not shameful to lose."

Despite his dark and burly appearance, the Fourth Raikage is only 30 years old, which is relatively young for a Kage.

The Fourth Raikage nodded, but his mood wasn't comforted much.

A loss is a loss.

Liao Wu, who was on the other side, was just a Chunin who couldn't even use ninjutsu. After solving his physical defects, he quickly became a major enemy threatening the five great ninja nations.

It's true that he's younger than Liao Wu, but Liao Wu is now immortal. The longer it goes on, the further Liao Wu will leave them behind.

The Fourth Raikage still has room for improvement, but he will get old, and once he gets old, the quality of a ninja will decline significantly.

Just like the Third Hokage next to him, when he was young he had such a fiery temper, he would take the golden cudgel and challenge Liao Wu to a duel.

The Fourth Raikage can still counter a few moves now, but in the future, he will be far behind.

"That's strange!"

Kakuzu stroked his chin.

"(*￣︿￣). What's so strange?!"

Hiruko watched with envy next to Kakuzu, his teeth practically grinding to dust at the sight of Ryou's imposing presence.

Liao Wu owes a great deal to his Ghost Sprout Luo Technique, which is why he is where he is today.

This kind of showing off should have been his, but this kid got to do it all.

Hiruko was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Kakuzu said, "Uchiha Ryoubu shouldn't have fought like that. His strength was so great that he didn't need to use the Hidden Mist Technique to block the Raikage's vision."

Kakuzu had seen Ryouu summon the Thousand-Armed Buddha. The wooden Buddha, hundreds of meters tall, was an insurmountable mountain for the Allied Shinobi Forces once it was summoned.

That's absolutely divine power and magic!

Even without the Thousand-Armed Buddha, Liao Wu could easily defeat the Fourth Raikage with his top-tier stats, which are close to those of Madara and Hashirama.

But now we have to develop a strategy based on the opponent's weaknesses. What are we trying to cover up?

Jiraiya and Minato both realized that Ryogoku shouldn't have fought the Fourth Raikage to a standstill; given his temper, he should have kicked the Fourth Raikage to death.

Then, they mocked the Allied Shinobi Forces, asking if there was no one left.

Jiraiya guessed, "Could it be that he's not in good form?"

Kakuzu scoffed, "Is he a woman, and he's on his period, so he's not in the mood? I bet it's a clone!"

"A clone?!"

Jiraiya was taken aback.

Kakuzu nodded: "Yes, it's a clone. Wasn't Uchiha Ryou's clone technique so powerful that even the Byakugan couldn't see through it?"

Jiraiya wondered, "If this is a clone, then what is the original body doing?"

"I don't know, maybe they've gone around to attack the command post!"

"ah?!"

Liao Wu dispersed the fog and sat on the cat's back.

His brows and eyes held a commanding presence, his posture was as imposing as a mountain, and every gesture he made exuded the sharp edge of a military general.

The cats behind Liao Wu were drumming and banging gongs, shouting in unison, "General, you are mighty! The Ninja Alliance is nothing but a joke!"

Liao Wu couldn't help but burst into laughter, pointing his halberd at the ninja alliance: "Liao Wu is here, you won't be able to take another step!"

"Arrogant!"

The Yunyin group were all hot-tempered and couldn't stand others showing off. They couldn't tolerate Liao Wu's arrogance.

The Third Hokage took off his pipe and was about to step forward, but Minato beat him to it.

"Lord Hokage, let me do it! My Flying Thunder God Technique is inherently invincible."

The Third Hokage nodded: "Minato, I'm counting on you!"

Minato nodded, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Minato who was going to fight.

Even someone with a fiery temper like the Fourth Raikage felt confident that the situation was under control.

Even a gloomy and dark person like Danzo loosened his clenched hands when he saw Minato come out.

The blond guy stood there so steadily!

Minato's stats might not be that great, but his Flying Thunder God Technique is top-notch. The fact that he was able to escape from Madara's clutches several times demonstrates the excellence of Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.

The space-time ninjutsu is more insidious than the last.

Minato stepped out of the Allied Shinobi Forces' camp and onto the rushing river.

The river was turbulent, but the water gate stood firmly in place.

His blond hair fluttered wildly in the wind, his eyes were calm as a deep pool, showing no sign of panic, only sharpness.

He would remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, and his eyes would not blink even if a deer ran past on his left.

Mifune was full of praise for Minato: "A heart of thunder, a face as still as water—this man is destined for greatness. He deserves to be the Fourth Hokage!"

The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette, feeling quite gratified. Minato was the most outstanding successor he had envisioned.

According to the original plan, the Third Hokage would be criticized by the village for compromising with other countries, refusing war reparations, and restoring peace as soon as possible.

This was the time when Minato became Hokage.

But the situation changed drastically—

The Third Hokage never expected that Madara Uchiha would be hiding underground and playing dirty tricks.

Danzo gave a strange snort; he had to admit Minato's excellence.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru will be the biggest contributor to this war.

Minato, you're still too green!

Liao Wu sat on the back of the cat, his halberd pointing at Shui Men: "You brat, I've spared your life several times, yet you've taken advantage of me. Today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

Minato pulled a Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool pouch and tentatively asked Ryouwu, "Ryouwu-senpai, are you a clone?"

Liao Wu was immediately drenched in sweat.

"Haha, Minato, what did you say? If you're afraid of dying, go back home!"

"Senior Liao Wu, why are you retreating?"

Liao Wu made the cat slowly retreat, until it somehow ended up in the Hakimi army behind him.

He pointed at Minato and said, "Minato, you guys are too despicable. I'll leave this place empty-handed and have my generals deal with you."

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

"..."

Minato was speechless, becoming increasingly certain that the opponent, Liao Wu, was a clone; if it were the real Liao Wu, it wouldn't be babbling like this.

So here's the question: should we expose him?

If we defeat Liao Wu, will Madara emerge from Amegakure and face the ninja army head-on?

Minato informed Shikaku of the situation, and Shikaku asked Minato to stall for some time, as the three main forces would be arriving at their designated positions soon.

Plan B will be implemented soon.

Minato was somewhat worried that Ryougo might launch a sneak attack on Konoha, but Shikaku told him not to worry, as Minato had his Flying Thunder God Kunai at the command post.

They maintain constant contact, and if Liao Wu attacks, they will immediately send Shuimen back with his men.

Minato is no longer worried.

Liao Wu glanced at his cat soldiers from left to right. His gaze seemed to cast an illusion, and any ninja cat that came into his sight fell to the ground.

He's lying there pretending to be dead!

Especially Yuwan and Laicai, they immediately pretended to be dead when Liaowu said he wanted his generals to go into battle.

These are the soldiers Liao Wu led!

"A bunch of useless trash. I've been supporting you with my Jonin salary, and you've turned out to be nothing but a bunch of rats?"

"If no one else volunteers, your salaries will be confiscated and your cat food will be halved."

Seeing this, the ninja cat stopped pretending to be dead, pushed the fish balls and the wealth to Liao Wu, and poured water on them to wake them up.

After waking up, Yuwan and Laicai pretended to be stupid, looking like Mambo Mambo.

Liao Wu poked Yuwan and Laicai's heads with the handle of his halberd and said to them, "Who dares to fight? Whoever dares to fight, I will appoint that person as heir apparent to inherit my throne."

"I volunteer!"

Fishball and Laicai immediately stopped pretending to be stupid.
