Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Seeing that Madara had already filled in the blanks in his mind, and not wanting to betray Liao Wu, Hashirama nodded.

"Yes, Madara, it was the Great Toad Sage who told me!"

If it were Tobirama, he would have already revealed Ryūgo, because that would have sown discord between Madara and Ryūgo.

Furthermore, it was deliberately concealed that Shisui's Kotoamatsukami controlled Ryou's clone, causing Ryou's clone to reveal information about Madara's eye technique.

They lied and said that Liao Wu had secretly defected to the Ninja Alliance.

But Hashirama didn't think as much as Tobirama did. He felt that since it was Ryougo who told them about Madara, they should be indebted to Ryougo.

That way we can't betray him!

It's a very simple thought: you've been kind to me, and I won't betray you just because we're on opposing sides.

The head is on the head, not on the butt.

Madara got angry upon hearing Hashirama's reply.

"hateful--"

Madara roared in exasperation, "Mount Myoboku! Mount Myoboku, you damned toad kingdom! After I've dealt with you all, I'll attack Mount Myoboku!"

"Let's catch that old toad from the Great Toad Sage and soak it in alcohol!"

Hashirama yelled, "Madara, do you have any manners at all? The Great Toad Sage is a sage who saved the world alongside the Sage of Six Paths!"

"How could you capture someone to make medicinal wine?"

"Hmph! Anyone who stands in my way is my enemy, and the Sage of Six Paths is no exception!"

"Ban, how could you say such outrageous things? I think you're completely lawless!"

Madara's Susanoo charged forward, wielding a large sword: "Hashirama, you dare to attack me knowing I have Limbo?"

"It seems you've found a power that can rival me!"

"It's not Madara, it's just that we've found a way to sense your Limbo!"

Hashirama formed hand seals, and the curse mark on his neck spread rapidly, activating his exclusive Sage Mode—Arhat Sage Mode—which merged with Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest!

In the blink of an eye, Hashirama transformed into the Azure Dragon Arhat wielding a three-ringed staff.

Madara exclaimed in horror: "The power of the Six Paths?!"

"No—this is not the complete power of the Six Paths."

Madara realized that he had seen the description of the Six Paths Mode on the Uchiha Stone Tablet.

The true Six Paths Mode involves holding a sage's staff and being surrounded by nine Seeking Truth Jewels behind one's back.

Hashirama only possessed a Sage's Staff, and it was only a three-ring staff, not a complete six-ring staff.

This does not match the description Ban saw.

Madara perceived that Hashirama had only improved in quality, but in quantity.

Hashirama nodded, pointing his Sage's Staff at Madara, and said, "Dama, this is the result of my training in Shikkotsu Forest. Although it's not the complete Six Paths power, I'd like to test your Limbo!"

Madara's expression darkened. "Very well! Hashirama, I never thought you could become my opponent even after you're dead. Excellent!"

Ban began to feel that things were not going in the direction he had expected.

Madara possesses the Rinnegan, which has the power of the Six Paths, but this power of the Six Paths is still not as powerful as the Truth-Seeking Ball, the core of the power of the Six Paths.

His black rods are merely Yin-Yang Release, while Truth-Seeking Balls are high-density chakra formed by adding Yin-Yang and the seven elements of the Five Elements to the Yin-Yang Release, possessing the power of all things in the universe.

If Madara wants to obtain the Truth-Seeking Balls, he needs to collect the nine tailed beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.

But to his surprise, Hashirama obtained the Truth-Seeking Ball before him. Although it was not a complete Truth-Seeking Ball, it had already touched the realm of the Six Paths.

Madara dispelled the Susanoo on his body, and the Susanoo's defense was useless against the Truth-Seeking Balls.

Madara touched his Rinnegan; things hadn't completely deteriorated yet.

Hashirama's Truth-Seeking Ball hadn't even reached the initial stage.

I can completely suppress him with my Rinnegan.

Madara asked Hashirama, "Hashirama, can you tell me how you trained with your Truth-Seeking Balls?"

Hashirama was about to speak, but suddenly covered his mouth: "Madara, the Slug Master told me not to tell anyone about the training methods for the Truth-Seeking Balls."

"Especially for you and Liao Wu, he said that you both have Yin-Yang Escape and are qualified to cultivate the Seeking the Dao Jade."

Madara scoffed, "Fine, don't tell me then. I'll become the Sage of Six Paths in my own way!"

"Hashirama, watch out!"

Hashirama jumped down from the wooden dummy's head, gripping the Sage's Staff and warily watching Madara.

"Limbo: Border Prison!"

Madara's left eye suddenly widened as he stared at Hashirama. With a slight lift of his fingertip, an invisible shadow quietly materialized from the void.

coming!

Sarutobi Sasuke, Sakumo, and the others paid close attention, using their senses to the fullest to find traces of Limbo's shadow.

Madara had previously used Limbo Shadow to block their attacks.

Unfortunately, it cannot be seen or sensed with the naked eye; there is not a sound of wind, nor a trace.

There was no overwhelming sense of oppression, nor any terrifying chakra.

It's all nothingness!

It was as if Madara had just glared at him, and nothing had happened.

Or perhaps the spotted creature sneaks into a woman's bed.

The next day, when people lifted the covers, they found Ban still wearing his pants, and nothing had happened.

This is the most frightening part; the fear stems from the unknown.

The greatest pressure comes from not being able to perceive anything.

The Limbo shadow must have been summoned from the Limbo world by Madara, but they just can't see it.

Only the pillars could detect a trace of the incident at the scene.

It's just perception, not seeing.

The mechanism of Limbo is that only those who possess the Rinnegan can see these shadows, and only those who have mastered the Six Paths Sage Mode can perceive them.

Hashirama sensed a trace using the Truth-Seeking Ball, but the perception was too coarse.

"Left side, no—right side!"

"It's behind!"

Madara sneered, and then Madara's Limbo shadow kicked Hashirama, sending him flying hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily into a pile of ruins.

"Hashirama, I told you, you are no longer my match!"

……

On the other hand, Ryogoku, who activated the Thunder God Susanoo, was practically a god descended to earth, treacherous to everyone he met, from humans to Buddhas.

Unstoppable! It's like a heifer taking off in an airplane—it's incredibly awesome!

The lightning brought Liao Wu's Susanoo lightning speed and extremely high voltage current.

It did not launch any attack; it merely passed through the air and triggered a massive thunderstorm.

However, Minato and Tobirama's Flying Thunder God technique was still too overpowered.

As soon as Ryougo charged over, Minato and Tobirama, along with Danzo and the others, activated Flying Thunder God Technique and fled.

Danzo felt a sense of fear as he looked at Susanoo, the Thunder God, who seemed to be the reincarnation of Takemikazuchi.

"This...this isn't the power a ninja should possess!"

Tobirama frowned deeply and said solemnly, "This kid uses Susanoo as a vessel, containing both the natural energy of the earth and the lightning elemental energy of the sky."

"Good idea! Madara once used Susanoo as Nine-Tails' armor, controlling the armored Nine-Tails Susanoo to attack Big Brother!"
