Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Orochimaru was somewhat greedy for Snake Lady because her body was now made up of the power of Liaowu.

If Orochimaru were to devour her, it would be equivalent to obtaining the power of Liaowu.

Snake Auntie also saw Orochimaru's greed for her, and clasped her hands together, preparing to form hand seals.

Red Bean glanced at Orochimaru and Snake Aunt.

Compared to her original self, who treated her as a sacrifice, Red Bean trusted her clone, Snake Aunt, who cared for her more.

Red Bean also placed her hands in front of her chest, ready to form hand seals and unleash ninjutsu at any time.

Yamato glanced around, then suddenly fixed his gaze on Tobirama, his pupils contracting slightly.

The Second Hokage?!

Yamato is a Root ninja who previously accompanied Danzo to meet Orochimaru, where he met Sakumo Hatake and Hiruko.

He knew a little about the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but he was still very excited to see the Second Hokage, Yamato.

This is the embodiment of the Will of Fire, one of the founders of the server.

With the Second Hokage on the other side, should Yamato go and stand on the Second Hokage's side?

Yamato hesitated for a moment.

He had already learned from Anko about Orochimaru's cruelty; Orochimaru had not implanted cursed seals on him and Anko to give them greater power.

Instead, they wanted to use them as sacrifices for reincarnation.

If anything happens to Orochimaru's original body, he will be resurrected from the bodies of these reincarnated beings.

This is possession.

Orochimaru noticed Yamato's wavering gaze, staring intently at him with a mixture of deception and greed.

"Yamato, have you forgotten your place? You are a ninja from Konoha's Root."

"Protect the roots of the big tree's leaves at all costs in the darkness."

"The place you're standing right now is Uchiha Ryou's territory! Hurry up and come to meet the heroic spirits who protect the village!"

Yes, Yamato is a ninja instilled with the Will of Root, the sharpest blade of Konoha. How could he stand on the side of the enemy?

Tobirama, Kagami, and Dan, the heroic spirits of Konoha, watched Yamato with great interest.

Both want to see what the other will choose.

Orochimaru is a villain, but we can't not choose him because it's a matter of political alignment.

There is no right or wrong, only correct.

Yamato had only taken two steps when Anko slapped him across the face: "Idiot Yamato, do you still consider yourself a free man?"

"Both of us have had spores implanted in our bodies by Uchiha Ryou, and we've become his slaves!"

"That's right!" Yamato realized that he had already been controlled by Liao Wu.

It's taken!

Yamato cried out to Orochimaru for help: "Lord Orochimaru, come quickly and save me!"

Red Bean slapped Yamato again, then grabbed his hand to form a hand seal.

Wood Release hand seals?

Tobirama's pupils contracted.

"Yamato, form the hand seals!"

"yes!"

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

The area where Orochimaru and the others were suddenly trembled, and countless thick tree roots burst out of the ground like raging pythons, spreading wildly in all directions.

In an instant, towering trees sprang up from the ground, their branches growing wildly and intertwining, their vines swirling and twisting like giant pythons.

Princess Tianxin formed hand seals: "Immortal Technique - Inorganic Rebirth!"

Princess Tianxin used her magic to control the surrounding stones, turning them into stone snakes that clashed with the tree roots. Thus, the two groups began their battle in front of the White Snake Immortal's temple.

Tobirama looked at Anko and Yamato, who were forming hand seals and using Wood Release, with some surprise.

"Orochimaru, what's going on? Why are your two disciples able to use Wood Release?"

Orochimaru, with a somewhat gloomy expression, explained the Hashirama cell experiment to Tobirama, Kagami, and the others.

Because of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha wanted to send the Nine-Tails into battle.

But the Nine-Tails' power is too strong. Just stabilizing the Jinchūriki requires a lot of manpower and resources, so how could we possibly control the Nine-Tails' power?

In fact, the power to control it does exist.

One type is the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, whose eye power has a strong hypnotic effect.

However, due to the Konoha leadership's policy of isolating the Uchiha clan, they were unwilling to let the Uchiha get involved in the Nine-Tails' affairs.

That leaves only the First Hokage's Wood Release, which can control the Tailed Beasts.

Because none of Hashirama's direct descendants inherited Wood Release, the Konoha leadership decided to conduct an experiment to fuse Hashirama's cells and obtain Wood Release.

Specifically, the Root organization, which always takes the blame, is led by Orochimaru.

Sixty wild children were captured in the wild and injected with Hashirama cells. In the end, one survived, and that person was Yamato.

However, Yamato only inherited Hashirama's techniques, not his vast chakra reserves and a range of support abilities.

Later, Orochimaru injected Anko with White Zetsu cells, allowing her to inherit Hashirama's vast chakra.

Yamato's techniques and Anko's chakra, when combined, can unleash a power comparable to Hashirama's Wood Release.

Although no wooden golem was created, this Wood Release technique, capable of going head-to-head with Sage Mode, should not be underestimated.

Tobirama said grimly, "Orochimaru, so you're saying—your two disciples already inherited your elder brother's Wood Release before you sent them to participate in the Ryuchi Cave trials?"

Orochimaru nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Tobirama simply couldn't understand Orochimaru's stupidity. He instantly closed in on Orochimaru and punched him, sending him flying and crashing into the rock wall, embedding himself inside!

"＜(‵□′)───C＜─___-)||."

"Orochimaru, you idiot! You've driven two children who could have inherited your brother's Wood Release to betray you!"

"How can someone like you be changed? Huh?!"

Orochimaru, stuck in the wall, was somewhat annoyed.

Of course, we'll change things with our fists!

You've shown me that with your own actions!

Everyone stared in shock at Tobirama's imposing presence.

What's going on here that Tobirama, who is supposed to be a puppet, is actually beating up the Heavenly Gang in reverse?

Dan and Kagami were shocked. They could only become Orochimaru's puppets, but Tobirama was able to turn the tables and beat Orochimaru up.

That's the difference!

Orochimaru could understand it; Tobirama had been strengthened by the cursed seal implanted by Orochimaru, and Tobirama was also very fast.

Orochimaru probably only just started forming hand seals to control Tobirama before Tobirama's hands were severed.

Orochimaru was unable to control Tobirama.

Tobirama crossed his arms and looked at Anko and Yamato, saying, "You two are Konoha ninjas, you shouldn't follow an evil Uchiha."

"Come here, all of you. I promise I won't let Orochimaru hurt you."

Snake Aunt stepped forward, blocking Anko and Yamato's path: "Second Hokage, don't you think it's too late to say that?"

"My true form pushed them into the abyss, and now they've climbed back up on their own. Do you think they can still trust you who stand with the perpetrators?"

Yamato had something to say: he was unwilling to believe Orochimaru anymore, but Orochimaru and the Second Hokage were not bound together.

Judging from the way the second generation is acting, you can tell that he will value him and Anko.

Yamato tried to speak, but Anko slapped him again.

"Go away and play somewhere else. Who gives you the right to speak here?"

Yamato squatted down to the side and cried silently.

They all laugh at me, but I'm the funniest one!

Gold always shines, but I'm just a buddy.

Tobirama looked at Orochimaru, unleashing a gust of chakra to suppress her: "So, you really intend to become enemies of Konoha?"

Snake Lady retorted, "Second Hokage, don't say that. I will not be an enemy of Konoha, but I can't believe your promise."

"You yourself are a puppet of my true self, so how can you guarantee that my true self won't harm my two disciples?"

"..."

Tobirama remained silent.

The next second, Orochimaru proved what Snake Aunt had said by quickly forming hand seals where Tobirama couldn't see.

Tobirama's body suddenly convulsed, as if controlled by a spell, his face twitching violently.

It looks like there's something inside the dermatitis.

Orochimaru, maintaining his hand seals, leaped out, sneering, "Tobirama, you're starting to lose your bearings. Looks like I really need to keep you under control!"

Orochimaru!!

Tobirama released the cursed seal, and the cursed seal patterns on his neck spread out, causing all the surrounding natural energy to converge towards Tobirama.

Orochimaru's cursed seal has powerful side effects. If it is activated for too long, he will lose his humanity and eventually be corrupted by natural energy, turning into a monster.

But Edo Tensei Tobirama wasn't affected by this, because he was already dead!

The immortality of the Impure World Body makes him immune to the side effects of the curse seal.

In the original work, Kimimaro was somewhat underwhelming after being resurrected using Edo Tensei. If he were placed on the main battlefield, his unrestricted "Dance of the Morning" would be a nightmare for the Allied Shinobi Forces.
