Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Hashirama asked the Slug Sage, "Master, what's the situation outside? Have the Allied Shinobi Forces and Madara gone to war?"

The Slug Sage shook his head: "I don't know either. Lady Tsunade didn't summon my clones, so I can't sense the situation of the Allied Shinobi Forces."

"But Lord Hashirama need not worry. Even if the allied forces are completely defeated, there is no need to be afraid, as the Two-Tails and the Nine-Tails are both at Mount Myōboku."

"With Yin-Yang Release, Lord Hashirama already possesses the ability to contend with the Rinnegan!"

"With Lord Hashirama guarding this last line of defense, Madara won't be able to capture the nine tailed beasts so easily."

Hashirama nodded, and suddenly a surge of spiritual power came over him.

"Master, someone has communicated with me through spirit communication. It seems I'm in trouble. I must take my leave!"

"Um!"

With a bang, Hashirama was summoned out of the Wet Bone Forest.

The Slug Sage looked at the Sage Talisman that Hashirama wouldn't accept and shook his head: "This is really troublesome!"

The phantom of the Sage of Six Paths appeared next to the Slug Sage.

The Slug Sage said to the Sage of Six Paths, "Lord Hagoromo, Lord Hashirama is not someone who covets life."

The Sage of Six Paths looked helpless: "Asuras are all like that, stubborn and inflexible. Let them be!"

"Actually, Hashirama had another chance to be resurrected! That was to fuse the seven chakra natures and generate Truth-Seeking Balls!"

In the original story, Onoki was nearly 80 years old during the Fourth Shinobi World War, but he still had a huge amount of chakra and could fight the entire battle.

He was a key player when the Five Kage fought Madara.

This is somewhat unbelievable, because ninjas' physical abilities are not much different from ordinary people, and their physical abilities decline significantly as they get older.

For example, the Third Hokage was able to suppress the Nine-Tails briefly with a single blow when it attacked the village.

However, when Orochimaru attacked Konoha, the Third Hokage was unable to knock Orochimaru unconscious with a single blow.

Ninjas become weaker as they get older.

However, Onoki maintained an extremely high level of combat power.

It was precisely because of the dust escape.

When Edo Tensei saw Onoki, he guessed that Onoki's ability to live so long and maintain his peak ninja stats was due to Dust Release.

Dust Release is a bloodline limit fusion of wind, fire, and earth chakra, surpassing bloodline limits.

Onoki trained through secret techniques, but Dust Release had already been integrated into his body, influencing Onoki's body in reverse.

To ensure his longevity and combat effectiveness.

The official guidebook for the Truth-Seeking Ball states that it is a ninjutsu, without specifying that it is a bloodline limit.

However, the description of Bloodline Limit is that it is formed by the fusion of seven chakra nature transformations: fire, wind, earth, water, lightning, yin, and yang, and is a technique that surpasses Bloodline Limit and Bloodline Elimination.

The Truth-Seeking Ball is also a fusion of seven chakra nature transformations; it is the Bloodline Limit.

Bloodline limit can reverse the effect on cells, giving ninjas the miraculous effect of longevity and maintaining peak combat power. Wouldn't a bloodline limit higher than that be able to reverse yin and yang and steal the sky and change the sun?

The Slug Sage shook his head: "It's too difficult to control the Truth-Seeking Balls in the body of the dead. Lord Hashirama refused to attempt to revive them using external forces."

The Bloodline Limit possesses extraordinary power; it might even be able to revive Hashirama.

However, it is difficult to fuse the deceased's body with the Bloodline Limit.

Therefore, the most important thing is to rely on external forces.

The Slug Sage gestured to the Sage of Six Paths, "Give the child some help!"

The Sage of Six Paths hesitated: "This—I have favored Ashura many times, and it is because of my favoritism towards Ashura that Indra is jealous."

"This led to their irreconcilable differences!"

The Sage of Six Paths was in a dilemma. He could give Hashirama a small boost in stats, but that would mean he was once again favoring Ashura.

In the original story, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Sage of Six Paths activated his powers on both Naruto and Sasuke, and even his two sons were not spared.

Even when Sasuke later wanted to kill the Five Kage, destroy the Five Great Ninja Villages, and unify the world, the Sage of Six Paths did not intervene.

The Slug Sage said, "A little bit of opening doesn't count. Lord Hashirama even refused resurrection. Doesn't his ideology align with your Ninjutsu philosophy?"

The Sage of Six Paths nodded; Hashirama did indeed embody the principles of Ninjutsu.

If Ninjutsu still existed, then Hashirama would be the most suitable successor.

"Slug, he even refused resurrection, so he'll probably refuse my selfishness too!"

"If possible, I would still like to see this generation of Asura transcend destiny."

There's a saying that goes, "The wise seek strength within, while the unwise seek it without."

The Truth-Seeking Ball is a technique acquired after mastering the power of the Six Paths; one must first become one of the Six Paths before obtaining the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Hashirama's situation was the opposite; he didn't receive the Six Paths Power from the Sage of Six Paths, so he had to try to develop the Truth-Seeking Balls himself.

This method of obtaining the power of the Six Paths is the most difficult.

Even though Madara obtained the Rinnegan, he still wanted to take a shortcut and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki to obtain the power of the Six Paths.

But the power of the Six Paths obtained in this way is ultimately not one's own.

Hashirama's method is the most difficult, but once you obtain the power of the Six Paths, it will be yours forever.

He will become the first Ashura in a thousand years to obtain the power of the Six Paths through his own abilities without relying on the Sage of Six Paths to modify the parameters.

This is the path to surpassing the Sage of Six Paths.

In the original work, Naruto, the prophesied child, could never satisfy the Sage of Six Paths.

Because both he and Sasuke were waiting for the Sage of Six Paths to help them out, their limitations meant they could never surpass the Sage of Six Paths.

Their initiative is even less than that of most Jonin; they rely entirely on cheat codes and the help of others.

So when the Boruto One Style came out, the two of them were kicked like dogs because the server had changed, the administrator was no longer one of their own, and the cheat was no longer available!

The elders' greatest hope is that their descendants can surpass them and forge their own path.

……

In Ryuchi Cave, Tobirama forcefully made Orochimaru perform hand seals to summon Hashirama.

As soon as Hashirama appeared, Liao Wu tore through the Four Red Yang Formation, unleashing an air burst that attacked Tobirama and the others.

"Reload now!!"

Snake Auntie quickly fled with Red Bean and Yamato, unable to spare any energy to control Mirror and Broken, who had escaped her control.

"What's going on?"

Hashirama was stunned; he had just come out when he was attacked by a peerless demon.

Hashirama noticed a necklace around the cat demon's neck: "Tsunade's necklace!"

"You're Liao Wu?!"

At this moment, Liao Wu's pair of eerie three-tomoe cat eyes were filled with killing intent and destruction, clearly indicating that he was the kind of person who didn't like eating beef.

Tobirama, appearing in shadow, reminded Hashirama: "Brother, it's that evil brat Uchiha Ryougo! He's been corrupted by natural energy and turned into a demon!"

"Did the cultivation of immortal arts fail?"

Hashirama's gaze was solemn; the current Liao Wu gave Hashirama the feeling of a human-shaped Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails' immense power, compressed into human form, is terrifying.

Strength will be greatly reduced, but speed and agility will be maximized.

"Let me calm you down first!"

"Celestial Techniques—"

Hashirama clapped his hands, and his words became law, instantly activating Sage Mode.

Golden rings and black eyes, a black bullseye pattern on the forehead, and symmetrical black vertical lines at the corners of the eyes.

Snake Aunt was extremely shocked upon seeing this, and instantly activated her immortality?

Activating Sage Mode requires stillness to fuse with Sage Chakra.

Even though Hashirama was already in Edo Tensei form at this point, there was no risk of him going berserk from absorbing too much natural energy.

But opening it so instantly is just too unreasonable!

Are there any humans left?

Why doesn't the Sage of Six Paths care about this blatant display of power?

What does the Sage of Six Paths care about! This administrator loves to take sides, and in the original story, he even personally intervened to change parameters for others.
