Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Tsunade yelled at Liaowu, "Liaowu, why did you help Uchiha Madara regain his strength?"

Liao Wu was taken aback, then realized what was happening: "Tsunade, you're interrogating me now? You should know you're the one who's a prisoner."

Liao Wu rushed forward and pinned Tsunade down.

"You bastard! What do you think you're doing?"

"What are you doing? Hmph, a man and a woman alone in a room, if nothing happens, it just means the man is gay."

The slug jumped onto Liao Wu's face and tried its best to stop him.

"Lord Liaowu, please don't act rashly."

Liao Wu grabbed the slug: "Slug, you really think I can't handle you, huh?"

The slug threatened, "If you dare to harm Lady Tsunade, my true form from Shikkotsu Forest will descend, and I will kill you even if it means fighting Madara Uchiha to the death."

Liao Wu immediately went limp and quickly kowtowed to the slug: "Lord Slug, please just let me go like a fart."

The slug was relieved.

Liao Wu was suddenly stunned. He felt that his contract with Longdi Cave was being modified.

"Is that guy from Biyang revising the contract?"

……

Leaf, the underground base of the roots.

With Hiruko's help, Orochimaru emerged from the belly of a white snake, his entire body covered in snake slime.

Hiruko looked at Orochimaru, who was so weak he was barely recognizable, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes.

"Orochimaru, is Madara Uchiha really that strong?"

Hiruko was previously bound by Ryougo's pitcher plant technique, but escaped by self-destructing and breaking the Wood Release bindings.

Later, they found Orochimaru, who had collapsed in the wilderness, and brought him back to Konoha's underground base.

Orochimaru found a place to sit down, panting heavily, and explained to Hiruko, "I didn't faint because of Madara Uchiha, but because of that bastard Ryou Uchiha."

"I knew he wouldn't keep his word. While he was signing the summoning scroll, I forcibly overexerted my body, refined my chakra, created a clone, and escaped."

Orochimaru spoke weakly, and resentment towards Liaowu lingered in his eyes.

Orochimaru had previously fainted due to overexertion of his chakra, but fortunately, he had absorbed the white snake cells from Ryuchi Cave, giving him strong vitality.

Otherwise, they would really lose their lives due to the forced extraction of chakra.

"You brat, do you really think I can't deal with you just because you signed the summoning scroll from Ryuchi Cave?"

Orochimaru grew angrier the more he thought about it. "If I can't beat Uchiha Madara, can't I at least beat Uchiha Ryou?"

Orochimaru opened his mouth and spat out the summoning scroll from Ryuchi Cave, then unfurled it and stopped at the last row, where "Uchiha Ryou" was located.

With a flick of his hand, he erased Liao Wu's name from the spell.

Can the contract between a ninja and his summoned beast be forcibly broken?

Yes, the Uzumaki family has a contract seal that can break the contract between the summoner and the summoned beast. In the original work, Minato used the contract seal to break Obito's control over the Nine-Tails.

The contract seal only removes control, not permanently cancels the psychic contract.

To resolve this, we need to address the root cause. Orochimaru simply erased Liao Wu's name from the summoning scroll in Ryuchi Cave.

Of the four essential elements of spirit summoning, he directly destroyed the first element of Liao Wu's technique—signing a contract with the summoned beast on the contract scroll.

After giving Liao Wu a little revenge, Orochimaru felt somewhat better and then answered Hiruko's previous question.

"The issue with Madara Uchiha isn't whether he's strong or not, but that he has transcended the concept of a ninja. I think he has reached the level of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the founder of ninjutsu."

Hiruko was somewhat shocked: "The level of the Sage of Six Paths? Isn't that invincible?"

Orochimaru nodded: "That's right. Jiraiya was killed, Tsunade was captured, and I almost died in the Land of Grass. Madara Uchiha is invincible."

Hiruko said angrily, "Damn it, with Uchiha Madara as his backer, we'll never be able to kill him again."

Orochimaru glanced at Hiruko: "Hiruko, you were dealt with by Ryougo before."

"this--"

Hiruko suddenly became somewhat hesitant. He had already fused with the white snake cells and could transform into a white-scaled serpent, yet he had failed to defeat Liaowu.

"By the way, Orochimaru, I've discovered a secret: Liao Wu knows the Wood Release technique!"

"What?!"

Orochimaru was shocked. It was one thing that Madara Uchiha knew the Wood Release technique, but what the hell was Liao Wu?

Hiruko was very certain that when she told Orochimaru about her previous experience of being bound by a giant pitcher plant, she knew that plant attacks could absorb chakra, and that this was the authentic Wood Release technique.

Orochimaru stroked his chin and analyzed, "In that case, Madara Uchiha must have obtained the First Hokage's cells when he fought the First Hokage at the Valley of the End."

"In addition, decades of dedicated research have enabled him to overcome the compatibility issues of the first generation of cells and master them."

"Uchiha Madara, he actually understands science!"

Orochimaru became interested; he admired anyone who possessed the truth.

What I despise most in my life are those who talk big and always claim it's all for Konoha's sake, but are just empty talkers.

"Wood Release, Sharingan! I must find a way to obtain these two powers."

Orochimaru showed his ambition.

Hiruko warned, "Orochimaru, I must remind you, Madara Uchiha's problem is imminent; he will destroy the entire ninja world."

It's almost the end of the ninja world, and Orochimaru still wants to level up. Does he even have any sense of self-awareness?

Orochimaru waved his hand: "No rush, I'll make my move."

Hiruko looked at Orochimaru in confusion: "Orochimaru, how are you going to make a move? You were beaten like a dead dog by Madara Uchiha before."

Orochimaru pointed at Hiruko: "Hiruko, how did you get here?"

"Impure World Reincarnation?!"

Hiruko immediately realized: "Orochimaru, you're preparing to use Edo Tensei on the First Hokage?!"

It's a very simple principle: in the ninja world, only Hashirama Senju could resist Madara Uchiha, so why didn't Orochimaru just revive Hashirama Senju?

Orochimaru nodded: "Let's go, we'll go to the Konoha Cemetery!"

Hiruko exclaimed urgently, "Orochimaru, do you know what you're doing? You're offending a hero!"

Although Hiruko was a bad person, she grew up listening to stories about Hashirama Senju and deeply admired the achievements of the First Hokage.

Orochimaru is going to disturb the tomb of the previous Hokage; this is tantamount to committing seppuku in front of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Orochimaru looked at Hiruko: "Hiruko, if you don't summon the previous Hokage, do you think you can defeat Madara Uchiha?"

"..."

Hiruko suddenly fell silent; it now seemed that Orochimaru's method was the optimal solution.

……

Liao Wu felt that his spiritual contract with Longdi Cave had been broken. He quickly bit his finger to draw blood and then activated the spiritual technique.

With a bang, what Liao Wu summoned through his spiritual medium was not a snake, but a cat—a white, short-haired cat.

Liao Wu once adopted a cat named Egg Fried Rice. As its name suggests, Liao Wu used to make it cook, so he named it Egg Fried Rice.

At this moment, the fried rice was still wearing a chef's uniform and holding a spatula.

It seems that she was still cooking while being psychic.

Liao Wu stared wide-eyed at the fried rice, his mouth agape in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, where's my giant snake? Where's my huge giant snake?"

"I don't believe in psychic magic!"

Liao Wu refused to believe that his spiritual contract with Longdi Cave had been forcibly dissolved, so he continued to try.

Egg Fried Rice was still a bit dazed. She was cooking for the ninja cats in the empty area when she was suddenly summoned to this place.
