Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Seeing that Ryou was really going to massacre the Allied Shinobi Forces, Tobirama threatened, "You evil Uchiha brat, stop right there!"

"I sense the presence of the Amegakure villagers. If you go and slaughter the Allied Shinobi Forces, I'll slaughter the civilians you're protecting!"

Liao Wu suddenly stopped Susanoo, turned around and cursed Tobirama, "Old Demon Senju, you were the Second Hokage of Konoha, a hero who died protecting your subordinates."

"How can someone be so rude?"

Tobirama pointed at Ryou's nose and yelled, "You brat, you're the one who forced this into this situation!"

Liao Wu shook his head: "It's different. I'm going to slaughter ninjas. They are enemies who invaded the Land of Rain. I have a reason to kill them."

"But you, Thousand-Handed Demon, are about to slaughter a group of defenseless civilians."

"According to ninja tradition, you're breaking the rules!"

Tobirama would never actually massacre a group of civilians, but if he could use them to threaten Ryougo, he would do so.

Rules are meant to be broken!

Tobirama said to Ryou, "Don't give me that civilian or ninja nonsense."

"You, Big Brother, and Madara are already ninjas beyond the norm. You people treat regular ninjas like you would treat unarmed civilians."

"You were shameless first, don't blame me!"

"..."

Liao Wu remained silent. The key was not the villagers of Yu Yin, but the person among them who caught Liao Wu's attention.

Nine-Pin, Ryuzetsu, and Nonou...

They are all Liaowu's wings. If they die, Liaowu will feel the same pain as if he saw Jiraiya die.

I thought of Jiraiya.

Liao Wu's Susanoo stopped on the earth and quietly released the white-scaled serpent into the earth.

He looked directly at Tobirama and said, "Tobirama, I don't care about formalities. Just hand over Danzo's life to me, and I'll withdraw from your fight with Madara!"

"real?!"

Tobirama asked.

Liao Wu nodded: "Guaranteed authentic!"

At this moment, Ryou and Tobirama stopped, and Danzo and Juzo followed.

Tobirama looked at Danzo.

Tobirama's meaning was clear: let Danzo make his own choice.

Unlike Minato, Tobirama prioritized his comrades and would not compromise with anyone.

But Tobirama was a pragmatist; if sacrificing one person could save a group of people, then that person should be sacrificed.

He was willing to do it even if it meant sacrificing Tobirama.

"..."

Danzo fell silent. Should he sacrifice himself to let Ryogoku withdraw from this war? It was clearly a very worthwhile deal.

Danzo was a hawk in Konoha.

What is a hawk? It's a militant faction that will take the lead in fighting to protect the interests of the village and the country.

Even if they don't go to the front lines themselves, they will send their sons or relatives to fight in their place.

Instead of sending civilians' sons to the battlefield from the rear, they put on a tough front but are actually cowards pretending to be hawks.

The Danzo we know now isn't the same despicable politician who, even after Nagato comes knocking on his door a decade or two later, is too afraid to move and only wants to wait for the Hokage faction and Nagato to weaken each other before reaping the benefits.

Danzo is now a typical hawk. Not long ago, he personally led the elite of Root to the Land of Rain to kill people, and was almost killed by Madara.

This is far more courageous than many superficial hawks who hide in the rear and send civilians' sons to the battlefield.

They're talking about Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, those two old fogies who rely on their seniority and have been holding onto power even in Boruto, when they're practically blind.

Danzo took out a kunai from his pocket, seemingly wanting to end his own life and force Liaowu to leave the battlefield.

But suddenly I felt something was wrong.

How could I possibly have the idea of ​​sacrificing myself to benefit the enemy?

Liao Wu kept provoking Danzo: "Danzo, what are you still doing? If you sacrifice yourself, I will withdraw from this war. What a worthwhile deal!"

The white-scaled serpent on the Ryōe Susanoo that Danzo and the others didn't see has disappeared; it has hidden underground.

According to Liao Wu's will, he released Sage Chakra to interfere with the will of the person above who was connected to the earth.

This is an illusion technique from the Ryuchi Cave system, an illusion technique from the Goddess of the Field.

Infuse the earth with genjutsu chakra, using the earth as a conductor; anyone connected to the earth will be induced by genjutsu.

Liao Wu's white-scaled serpent tricked Danzo into believing Liao Wu's words that if he killed himself, Liao Wu could withdraw from the great war.

Not only Danzo was misled, but Tobirama, Minato, and others were also misled, and they seemed to be encouraging Danzo to commit suicide.

Danzo looked at Ryou and said, "Uchiha Ryou, I want you to swear an oath to your parents, to the ancestors of the Uchiha clan, and to the Six Paths of Hell."

"If I die, you must leave this battlefield!"

Liao Wu made a vow: "I, Uchiha Liao Wu, swear that if Danzo dies, then my grudges with the Allied Shinobi Forces and with Konoha will be wiped clean."

"Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning, and may my driftwood and my ancestors never find peace."

"The Sage of Six Paths will personally descend to the mortal realm to suppress me, ensuring I am never reincarnated!"

"Uchiha Ryogoku, remember what you said!"

Danzo nodded and then pointed the kunai at his chest.

He looked at Liao Wu one last time and said, "Uchiha Liao Wu..."

"I could tell back in the Ninja Academy that you had a strong ambition in your eyes. You would never be content to be an ordinary ninja. You are like your ancestor Madara."

"As it turns out, I was right; deep down, you crave chaos and war!"

"All the differential treatment you received in the village was orchestrated by me. After my death, I hope you will fulfill your promise and cease being enemies of Konoha!"

Just as Danzo stabbed the kunai into his chest, the Third Hokage suddenly teleported to Danzo's side and grabbed his hand.

"Danzo, what are you doing? How could you believe in Ryou's conscience?"

Danzo said to the Third Hokage, "Sarutobi, I have done many wrong things. It was I who advocated targeting Ryōe in the first place."

"I accidentally killed Jiraiya again. If my death can pull Ryogoku out of this war, I think it's worth it."

The Third Hokage looked at Danzo in surprise, then realized that Danzo seemed to be under a genjutsu.

Hiashi shouted a warning: "There's a giant white-scaled serpent underground, using the earth to unleash genjutsu chakra to affect Elder Danzo and the others!"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, using powerful lightning to attack the white-scaled serpent underground.

Lightning Release is powerful, and the White Scale Serpent has the added advantage of Sage Mode, but the Fourth Raikage's lightning is also the ultimate form of Lightning Release.

The white-scaled serpent was attacked and stopped releasing its genjutsu chakra.

Tobirama, Danzo, and the others, having lost the influence of the genjutsu, began to return to normal.

Tobirama suddenly realized what was happening and was somewhat annoyed: "Damn it, how could I trust this brat's conscience?"

"Ryuchi Cave's use of earth illusions is rather strange. From now on, don't believe a word this brat says."

Liao Wu chuckled, "Too late. My White Scale Serpent is right beneath your feet. Guess if it can swallow Danzo in a second?"
