Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Everyone calmed down; the most anxious people now were probably the higher-ups in Konoha.

If the more than 200 Uchiha ninjas were to fight each other, Konoha would suffer heavy losses, not to mention the upcoming battle against Uchiha Madara.

The most important thing for Konoha right now is to stabilize the Uchiha clan.

Upon hearing this, many members of the Uchiha clan laughed.

The Eighth Hokage suggested, "Let's go to the Hokage Building now and confront the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage must agree that the Fourth Hokage is one of our Uchiha clan, otherwise—"

Yashiro didn't continue speaking, but instead lit up his crimson Sharingan.

The Uchiha fighters all stood up, their crimson eyes gleaming.

Shisui looked worried. The best solution in this situation was to share the burden of Madara Uchiha with Konoha.

Let's work together to overcome this difficult time.

Instead of using the opportunity to bargain with higher-ups.

Hokage Building, Jonin Joint Meeting.

Apart from the Uchiha, all the Jonin from the village were present.

The Third Hokage kept the matter of Madara Uchiha a secret; the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Koharu Utatane said to the Third Hokage, "Hiruzen, the Daimyo's inquiry has arrived. The Daimyo is questioning why we withdrew the Konoha army and abandoned the Land of Fire's coastline."

The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette, then waved his hand and said, "Reply to the Daimyo and tell him about Madara Uchiha! I believe the Daimyo will make a choice between Kirigakure and Madara Uchiha."

Xiaochun nodded as she turned to her new room.

Mitokado Homura said, "Hiruzen, how do we deal with Madara Uchiha? Jiraiya and Orochimaru are no match for him."

"Our village alone cannot possibly defeat Uchiha Madara!"

The Third Hokage said, "The best course of action now is to unite with the other four great nations, form a ninja alliance, and gather the strength of the entire ninja world to jointly defeat Uchiha Madara."

Shikaku analyzed, "I'm afraid that won't work. The three wars have reached this point, and the five great powers have formed deep-seated hatreds with each other. They're not so easy to talk to."

Why was the Allied Shinobi Forces formed during the Fourth Shinobi World War?

Since more than a decade has passed since World War III, the hatred between everyone has faded.

But the three battles aren't over yet. You just beheaded my father yesterday, and today you come to shake hands and make peace with me, drinking and laughing together. Is that right?

Furthermore, Obito arrogantly revealed the Eye of the Moon plan to everyone.

The Eye of the Moon Project aims to drag everyone into a dream world of illusion.

This was something the rentier classes of the five major powers could not possibly agree to.

I'm already exploiting ordinary people in reality, why am I still daydreaming?

The Third Hokage continued calmly, "Tell them the information about Madara Uchiha's resurrection. I believe they should understand the danger Madara Uchiha poses."

Fifty years have passed since the Warring States period, and each village still has elders who emerged from that era.

No one feared Madara Uchiha's power more than they did.

Take, for example, Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. He would shrink back upon hearing the name Madara Uchiha.

There are also Chiyo and Ebizo from Sunagakure; they both know what Madara Uchiha really means.

Shikaku nodded, but even with the threat of Madara Uchiha, the Allied Shinobi Forces wouldn't be formed so quickly.

The ninja villages of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure would definitely need to verify the authenticity of the information first; they wouldn't just blindly believe Konoha's intelligence.

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha's goal was to rule the five great ninja nations, and many resource-poor ninja villages would not recommend having such a supreme ruler above them.

For example, if you become the leader of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, shouldn't you allocate some of the resources from the Land of Fire to us?

Madara Uchiha wasn't trying to destroy the ninja world. If he wanted to rule, so be it. How can one person rule a world? It still requires others to rule together.

Right now, Madara Uchiha isn't as foolish as Obito, telling the whole world that he's going to let everyone daydream.

The Eye of the Moon project has not yet been exposed, the interests of the ruling class have not been completely affected, and the threat is not great enough!

Next comes the most crucial issue—the Uchiha clan!

An elder of the Senju clan raised the issue, and the entire conference room fell silent; one could hear each other breathing.

How should we deal with the Uchiha clan?

The village's rejection of the Uchiha was obvious. Although it wasn't as severe as after the Nine-Tails' attack on the village, the estrangement between the village and the Uchiha, or rather, between the Senju lineage and the Uchiha, still flowed in their blood.

They were all killed?

No way! There are so many Uchiha ninjas, it's not like you can just throw a punch at them and expect them to obediently put their faces on the table and let you slap them!

Konoha has the ability to eliminate the Uchiha clan, but eliminating the Uchiha would also leave them severely weakened.

Moreover, what about the excuse? There always needs to be an excuse to slaughter an entire family.

The Uchiha clan is not currently rebelling; they simply want someone from their clan to be elected as the next leader of Konoha.

Konoha is a village that promotes the Will of Fire. We can't just slaughter a powerful ninja clan like that. What would the Hyuga clan think?

What will the other ninja clans think?

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and asked a masked Root ninja, "Where's Danzo? The main force from the Hidden Mist front has all withdrawn, so why haven't Danzo and his Root members returned yet?"

The Root ninja said, "I'm sorry, Hokage, Elder Danzo is on a very important mission in the Land of Rain and has lost contact with us."

"What? What's that old man doing? Why did he disappear at this crucial moment?"

The Third Hokage was somewhat indignant.

The best weapon against the Uchiha clan was Danzo's Root organization. Now that Danzo and Root are gone, the Third Hokage has to deal with the Uchiha problem on his own.

He also missed that old guy who used to want to kill every Uchiha.

"It's terrible! Hokage-sama—the Uchiha clan has come to force your abdication!"

A ninja who was guarding the door barged in.

"What?!"

The Third Hokage was so startled that he stood up.

The Uchiha clan, numbering over a thousand, including the elderly and children, all came along when they heard that there would be eggs and snacks to be given away at the Hokage Building.

The Uchiha members were all dressed in black robes, their faces solemn, each exuding a chilling aura as if their parents had died.

Many shops on the street thought the Uchiha were about to rebel, so they all closed their doors and shut down.

Mikoto pulled Itachi along with the group.

Itachi said with some concern, "Does it really have to come to this?"

Mikoto shook her head: "At this point, we can only wait and see what the Third Hokage decides."

Itachi clenched his fists. He felt that the village and his clan had come to this point because his uncle had resurrected Madara Uchiha.

Uncle, how could someone as kind as you do such a thing?

The meeting at the Hokage Building could not continue, and everyone left the building to confront the Uchiha clan.

As soon as Koharu and Homura Mitokado came out, they questioned Fugaku.

"Uchiha Fugaku, what are you Uchiha people trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?"

They dare to rebel! This is no ordinary Uchiha clan. We must strike hard!

Yashiro, drinking with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, said, "Elder Koharu, Elder Homura, there's no need to lie to us. We already know about Lord Madara's resurrection."

"Who, who told you that?"
