Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

The Third Hokage shouted, "Scatter! Don't gather in one place!"

All the Konoha ninjas scattered in all directions.

The Third Hokage formed hand seals and unleashed the ninjutsu: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

Walls of earth coalesced and blocked Liao Wu's ghost lantern.

The other ninjas didn't watch either, and one by one they used ninjutsu to defend against the ghost lantern.

"Human Bomber!"

"Insect Wall Technique!"

"Black Ball!"

"Woof!"

"Tooth-to-teeth!"

The combined efforts of the Konoha ninjas successfully exhausted Liao Wu's ultimate technique.

The Third Hokage appeared in a flash, pressing a kunai against Liao Wu's neck.

"Liaowu, it's time to end this."

At this moment, Liao Wu didn't even have the strength to stand up, and he was completely unprepared to guard against the Third Generation.

What puzzled the Third Hokage was that Liao Wu did not show any panic at being caught; he remained calm and composed.

Liao Wu even had the leisure to chat with the Third Hokage about the past: "Third Hokage, if you could go back to the day you went to the Ninja Academy, would you choose me as your subordinate?"

Liao Wu had one regret: he was not accepted as a disciple by the Third Hokage when he graduated from the Ninja Academy.

At that time, Liao Wu was a top student at the Ninja Academy, except for his poor performance in actual combat. He also dreamed of receiving guidance from the Third Hokage.

Most importantly, Liao Wu knew better than anyone that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was only a Jonin at the time, would one day become the Third Hokage of Konoha.

Liao Wu wanted to invest in advance, firstly to change the political status of the Uchiha clan, and secondly to get closer to Tsunade.

However, the Third Hokage did not choose him, and thereafter Liao Wu was arbitrarily manipulated by the higher-ups.

After hearing Liao Wu's words, the Third Hokage was somewhat moved, as Liao Wu still cared about this matter.

If Liao Wu had been taken in as a disciple and properly educated, he wouldn't have turned out the way he is today.

With his talent, solving the bloodline disease was a gift that Jiraiya and the others possessed, and with the Sharingan, it would be even greater.

However, the Third Hokage was well aware of his teacher's and the Senju clan's antagonism towards the Uchiha clan, and taking Uchiha Kagami into the Kage's Guard was already the biggest concession he could make.

The Senju clan always kept a close watch on the Uchiha clan ninjas.

"Sorry, Liaowu!"

The Third Hokage responded with some remorse.

Liao Wu laughed loudly, then sneered, "Monkey, our grudges are settled. The next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death."

The Third Hokage found it strange; how could Liao Wu escape from his grasp?

"Liao Wu, stop playing tricks and obediently tell us the information about Uchiha Madara, and accept your trial."

"Trial?? No one in this world can judge me, screw God—"

"burst!"

Liao Wu's last remaining chakra transformed into fire-attribute explosive chakra, and with a deafening roar, he recklessly self-destructed.

The Third Hokage burst out of the explosion, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Liao Wu, you bastard, you'd rather self-destruct than face Konoha's judgment?"

Minato and some other Jonin walked up to the Third Hokage and looked at the traces left by Ryoubu's self-destruction.

From beginning to end, the Third Hokage did not believe that Ryouwu was a clone.

He didn't believe that one of Liao Wu's clones could last that long and still have so much chakra.

The clues about Liao Wu have been exhausted, and Minato has no way of knowing Obito's whereabouts.

He was somewhat disappointed, but he still mustered his spirits and looked at the Third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, what should we do now?"

The Third Hokage looked in the direction of the Land of Grass. Madara Uchiha was in the Land of Grass. How could the Third Hokage just leave him alone?

But with all three Sannin wiped out, can regular ninjas still deal with him?

When Fukasaku left, he specifically instructed that Madara Uchiha should never be fought by force, as such a person could only be eliminated by the combined power of the entire ninja world.

The Third Hokage made the following arrangements: leave a group of reconnaissance ninjas in the Land of Grass to monitor Madara Uchiha's actions, and withdraw the rest of them to Konoha.

The Third Hokage is preparing to convene the Five Kage Summit and form an allied ninja army to defeat Madara Uchiha.

……

"Lord Madara, the Konoha ninja army has departed!"

The location of the Gedo Mazo in the Land of Grass, Kusagakure Village.

Madara's underground base was destroyed by Orochimaru's snake horde, and Madara abandoned the base.

Now that my freckles have regained their youthful appearance, I no longer need to hide them.

He directly took over Kusagakure with the Gedo Mazo.

When Madara arrived, all the ninjas from Kusagakure had already fled, so he settled down in Kusagakure.

At this moment, White Zetsu was reporting the situation in Konoha to Madara, and also informing him of some of Liao Wu's actions.

The giant serpent of Ryuchi Cave, the Fourth Shinobi World War...

Madara sneered, "Orochimaru, what a great Orochimaru. I didn't expect that a single punch from the wooden puppet wouldn't kill him. He's a snake with a tough life."

As dusk approached, Liao Wu followed the senses of his clone and found the Hidden Grass Village.

When he arrived, his spore clone had already transmitted back the memory of his confrontation with Konoha, and the people of Konoha thought he was dead.

Actually, he's not dead yet.

Liao Wu jogged closer to the location of the Outer Path Demon Statue. Outside, he was a force to be reckoned with, but at home, he had to be submissive.

"Grandpa, your grandson has already dealt with Orochimaru. I didn't expect him to be so tough. He was hit by your forbidden technique and he's still alive."

Liao Wu observed Madara Uchiha's condition out of the corner of his eye and discovered that Madara's back had been pierced by the Gedo Mazo's conduit again, and that part of his skin was still black.

It seems Orochimaru's poison seal is quite potent; Madara hasn't recovered yet.

"Ancestor, I see you're nearing your end. Let's hurry and divide the inheritance!"

"Obito, give him a few White Zetsu as girlfriends! The rest are mine."

"Unfilial descendants!"

Ban roared and slapped Liao Wu away.

Madara coughed in anger, and Black Zetsu quickly stepped forward to pat Madara's back.

"Lord Ban, please calm down. Don't let this heartless bastard get to you."

Black Zetsu is a very filial son and despises people like Liao Wu who are disloyal and unfilial, just like those two heartless bastards, Hamura and Hagoromo.

After Liao Wu's outburst, Ban stopped mentioning the contract between Liao Wu and Ryuchi Cave.

When people reach the level of Madara and Hashirama, summoning beasts can no longer keep up with their battles, unless it's a tailed beast like the Nine-Tails.

Ban looked down on the giant serpent in Ryuchi Cave.

But the White Snake Immortal is truly someone to be wary of.

Madara was poisoned by the White Snake Sage's Serpent Poison and needs the Outer Path Demon Statue to cure it. He probably won't be able to go to the Land of Rain to retrieve his eyes in the next few days.

He was preparing to arrange for Liao Wu to go, but before that, he had some things to take care of.

"Where's Obito? Pull Obito up here."

Liao Wu's orange cat, Yuwan, beckoned to Afei to grab Obito.

Even after regaining his senses, Obito remained defiant.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Upon seeing Madara Uchiha, Obito immediately shouted, "Madara Uchiha, your ambition to rule the ninja world is doomed to fail. My teacher will definitely deal with you!"
