Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Madara smiled slightly: "That's it, that's it, Tsunade died at the hands of the Konoha ninja."

"Thus, Liao Wu, who witnessed all of this, awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan and fully realized that this was an illusory world."

"The real world exists in dreams!"

Minato saw the smile on Madara's face and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Minato already knew that the Uchiha clan would become extreme and gain powerful eye powers after losing their loved ones.

Minato instantly deduced that Madara wanted to use Tsunade's death to awaken Ryougo's Mangekyou Sharingan.

No, this can't be, Tsunade can't die.

She was the last thread holding Liao Wu back from being human. If Tsunade died at the hands of Konoha, Liao Wu would definitely awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan and destroy the entire village.

Furthermore, Tsunade is Kushina's older sister. Konoha was able to win both Shinobi World Wars because of Tsunade's superb medical ninjutsu and her reforms to medical ninjutsu.

No matter what, we can't let Tsunade die here.

Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and jumped to Jiraiya's side.

The Vacuum Jade arrived in an instant, aimed directly at Tsunade's chest.

But it was all too late; Danzo's Vacuum Jewel was too fast!

"Spiritual communication!"

Fishball and Raicai appeared on the battlefield where Tsunade and the others were fighting. Fishball pressed his claws to the ground and formed a summoning hand seal.

……

Longdi Cave.

The ancient Buddha of Liaowumuzhi and the Thousand-Hand Buddha between the pillars destroyed the entire Ryūchi Cave.

After the two giant Buddhas finished exchanging blows with all the wooden arms and snakes, they engaged in close-quarters combat. Liao Wu and Zhu Jian were not idle either.

A fierce clash unfolds with the tops of the two Buddhas' heads as the battlefield, with Hashirama piloting his wooden Arhat and Ryougo unleashing his complete Susanoo.

The two supreme beings fought to the very edge of the universe, shattering galaxies and obliterating even the Great Dao.

Hashirama grew increasingly excited as the fight progressed, laughing heartily, "This is exhilarating! I haven't had this much fun in ages! This body is really getting fired up!"

Seeing the blood smeared on Hashirama's arm by his Susanoo, Liao Wu exclaimed, "Grandpa Hashirama, you've been resurrected?"

Hashirama shook his head: "No, this is a temporary resurrection. I obtained the incomplete power of the Six Paths through this Arhat Sage Mode."

"Once the Arhat Sage Mode is deactivated, I will return to my original impure world form."

Liao Wu suddenly realized what was happening, and immediately turned hostile, shouting, "Hashirama, you old bastard, what are you doing acting all high and mighty in front of me when you're not fully resurrected?"

"Take this! Time stop—"

Liao Wu activated the ultimate Wood Release: Muzhi Rinda Nyorai, but had exhausted most of his chakra and had not had a chance to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique.

But after fighting for so short a time, Shukaku and the Seven-Tails had already gathered a considerable amount of Sage Chakra for him.

Liao Wu stopped when he had chakra to activate his ability.

The world suddenly came to a standstill.

The effect of time stop is reduced for those with the power of the Six Paths, but it is still very useful.

In the world of time stop, Hashirama's movements appear as if they are being broken down frame by frame, with all his actions slowed down tenfold.

Unable to attack Liao Wu, he could only slowly activate the Seeking the Dao Jade to transform into a shield to defend himself.

Liao Wu laughed loudly: "Old hag, Hashirama, die!"

"Sage Art: Muzhilindra Dragon King!"

Liao Wu manipulated the seven-headed serpent on the head of the ancient Buddha Muzhi. The seven-headed serpent seemed to come alive under the infusion of immortal magic, roaring as it attacked the wooden Arhat figure in the pillar.

Each snake head emitted a red light, and the dragon unleashed a white burst of energy.

Hashirama was immediately struck by a seven-fold burst of light and became dizzy. His soul felt as if it were being steamed and roasted in a steamer, and he screamed in pain.

Even the shield formed by the Seeking the Dao Jade was dispelled.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liao Wu spread Susanoo's wings and flew towards Hashirama, while Susanoo's arm formed the Shukaku seal.

If Hashirama is attacked by Ryougo's Susanoo and a stalemate ensues, Ryougo will activate Shukaku's Magnet Release to seal him.

But at the crucial moment, a spiritual power came from afar.

"Who is that, alpaca?!"

Just as you're about to catch a snake, someone suddenly grabs you from behind. Who wouldn't be devastated in that situation?

Liao Wu was uncontrollably summoned out of Ryuchi Cave, leaving along with Susanoo.

Liao Wu was sent away by the spirit, but the Seven-Headed Naga is still at work.

Hashirama closed his five senses, reassembled the Truth-Seeking Ball, and flung it out. The seven-headed Naga were instantly destroyed by Hashirama's Truth-Seeking Ball.

Even if it's just a half-finished Truth-Seeking Ball, it still possesses the power of the Six Paths that surpasses Bloodline Elimination and Sage Art.

Immortal techniques can deal with it, but they are simply not in the same league.

After Liao Wu left, Muzhi Ancient Buddha stopped and transformed into Takigakure Ancient Tree. Then, Takigakure Ancient Tree released its spiritual connection and returned to Hozuki Castle.

Hashirama was left standing there, somewhat bewildered.

"Where did that brat run off to?"

Tobirama appeared beside Hashirama, accompanied by Kagami and Yamato.

Tobirama said, "Brother, I just saw that brat get summoned. I think something's happened in Amegakure; he's been reverse-summoned by his summoning beast!"

"Rain Village?!"

Hashirama sighed, then released the Thousand-Armed Buddha and the wooden figures, looking at the ruins of Ryuchi Cave with a sense of melancholy.

The Ryuchi Cave, one of the three sacred sites, has been completely destroyed.

"What a terrible thing!"

Tobirama said with a hint of satisfaction, "What's there to pity? Ryuchi Cave wasn't some sacred place; it was a den of demons that devours people without spitting out their bones!"

"By razing this godforsaken place to the ground, brother, you've done a great service!"

"You can't say that. Ryuchi Cave is where all the giant snakes of the ninja world gather. If Ryuchi Cave is gone, those giant snakes will wreak havoc on the ninja world!"

Hashirama shook his head.

If something exists, it has a reason. If there is no place to accommodate bad people, then bad people will roam everywhere.

"Let's figure out a way to get to Amegakure and deal with Madara!"

"Huh~ this child—"

Hashirama looked at Yamato next to Tobirama and sensed that the other man possessed the same power as him.

However, this force was too weak.

Tobirama explained to Hashirama, "Brother, this is a product Orochimaru created in his experiments to obtain your power..."

Tobirama then told Hashirama about Yamato's origins.

Upon hearing that Yamato was the only survivor among the 60 children tested in the Wood Release experiment, Hashirama was furious: "Orochimaru is so inhuman?! Now I know why Ryougo defected!"

"He was labeled a rogue ninja simply for using some evil people for human experiments, but Orochimaru can do evil at will just because he is a disciple of the monkey."

"How did the village that Ban and I worked so hard to build end up like this?"

"Ban was right. A village can unite people, but it can also harbor darkness because of those people. Centralized power and monopolies breed corruption!"

Tobirama explained, "Brother, Konoha isn't a village where people make a living by farming. Konoha is a military organization employed by the Land of Fire; it's a machine of violence."

"How can you expect Konoha, this killing machine, to have any humanity?"

"Sacrificing 60 children to obtain a Wood Release test subject, it was all worth it."
