Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Below, Hashirama was constructing a giant wooden barrier, allowing members of the Senju and Uchiha clans to hide inside.

He then charged toward the Allied Shinobi Forces, trying to gather more shinobi under his Wood Release.

Faced with such a disaster, Tobirama would save as many as he could.

Unlike Tobirama, Hashirama wanted to save everyone, just as he had made Tobirama give up killing Madara and leading the Uchiha clan to establish Konoha.

Hashirama's compassion prevented him from abandoning those who deserved salvation.

On his way to the Allied Shinobi Forces, Hashirama suddenly saw Ryougo flying into the sky, using his mortal strength to block the power of the gods.

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Liaowu, I was right. You don't need to deceive yourself anymore. You are a kind person."

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be able to become a medical ninja!"

"Celestial Technique!"

Hashirama instantly activated Sage Mode, entering Arhat Sage Mode, and flew into the sky with the Sage's Staff to support Ryou.

He gave up using Wood Release to defend against the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

There wasn't enough time; Hashirama's Wood Release couldn't accommodate so many people, and he didn't believe Wood Release could withstand such an attack from a god.

"Night Kai!"

After Hashirama, Might Guy activated the Eight Gates Formation, transforming into a long red dragon that shot straight into the sky.

Tobirama was stunned. He stared blankly at these people who didn't know what was going on: Uchiha Ryougo, his older brother, and Might Guy.

Did they not know that such divine power could not be resisted by mortals?

Yes, although Hashirama and Ryogoku were both extraordinary ninjas, they were still just ordinary people.

Such a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion is a divine power that only a god, a deity like the Sage of Six Paths, could unleash.

Even someone as powerful as Madara fled in defeat, so why would they want to resist the gods?

Madara was about to call on Ryogoku to escape together, but he didn't react for a long time when he saw Ryogoku activate Susanoo and rush towards the light descending on the moon.

Does this kid think he's the Sage of Six Paths?

Trying to withstand such divine power will result in death!

Hashirama and Might Guy are impure beings, so they can be resurrected even if they are turned to ashes, but Ryogoku cannot be resurrected.

Shouldn't such a selfish person run even faster than him?

Ban suddenly stopped, and seeing Liao Wu seemed to be a reflection of his younger self.

Back then, Madara was determined to end the Warring States period with Hashirama and create a world where children would not have to go to war.

Whom does Liaowu protect?

Madara looked down and saw the Allied Shinobi Forces kneeling on the ground, terrified by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and he saw Tobirama, the one from Biyang.

I get annoyed just looking at it.

Madara looked away. Liao Wu would never save the Allied Shinobi Forces. At most, he would save his eldest nephew and some pretty female ninjas.

Madara shifted his gaze to Hakimi's army. These treacherous Hakimi were all running faster than the next one, and at the slightest sign of trouble, they would use the Mayfly Technique to escape into the earth.

However, some cats could still be seen resolutely staying behind to pray that Liaowu could withstand the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Ban saw the wealthy cats Candy, Fish Ball, and Lai Cai, and they all stayed where they were, instead of running away with the cowardly bad cats.

Especially Lai Cai, even in such a critical situation, it still manipulated Luo Sha to steal Xia Ri Xing from Xing Yin Village, intending to pack her up and send her to Liao Wu.

They're all expensive cats!

Nagato and Konan, among others, did not panic.

It was certainly worth it to protect them, but Ban felt it wasn't enough.

Oh, and the villagers of Amegakure.

Ban's gaze seemed to reach the salamander swamp, where he saw Egg Fried Rice and Nine-Pin making a praying gesture.

They were not like the villagers of Amegakure who knelt down and begged the gods for forgiveness.

They knew who was blocking the divine power that was about to destroy everything.

God is destroying them, while people are protecting them.

Gods are not worthy of reverence and worship; people should worship those who are risking their lives to protect them.

At this moment, Liao Wu, Zhu Jian, and Dai have blocked the impact of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, giving the people underground more time to escape.

Egg Fried Rice said to Ninth Rank, "Ninth Rank, take this opportunity to escape quickly. Let my master's clone take you underground."

Jiupin, stroking his fried rice, said, "Escape? Where can I escape to? My country was destroyed when I was young. I fled to Kusagakure and met my husband there."

"My husband was killed in the war, and my only concern is the child in my womb."

"Knowing you all has rekindled my attachments!"

"If we can't escape, then we'll all die together!"

"But--"

Egg Fried Rice said anxiously, "But you're pregnant!"

Jiupin stroked the fur on Egg Fried Rice's head and laughed, "But you're just a cat—why don't you run away?"

Looking at Liao Wu's figure braving the golden pillar of light in the sky, Egg Fried Rice felt somewhat disheartened: "I'm just a cook, there's nothing I can do!"

"Unlike candy and snow leopards, they can't help their owners!"

Jiupin comforted Egg Fried Rice, "Egg Fried Rice, being able to stay here and die with the people you care about is a truly noble thing!"

"Really?"

Rain-Hidden Orphanage.

Nono looked at Liaowu, who was under the divine power in the sky, adjusted her glasses, and seemed to be thinking about something.

At least Liao Wu was protecting her and the children at the orphanage.

Madara withdrew his gaze, looked up at the three figures in the sky, and then looked at the Allied Shinobi Forces on the ground.

Minato appeared with Pakura and the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage pushed Minato aside: "Minato, don't save me! I want to die with Bee and my subordinates!"

"But Raikage—"

The Fourth Raikage saw the Third Hokage beside Tobirama, as well as Iwagakure's Yotsuchi.

Shouldn't they be protecting Killer Bee, who is a Jinchūriki, right behind them at this moment?

The Fourth Raikage realized that Tobirama had ulterior motives; he wanted Killer Bee to die from the Origin Strike, so that the Eight-Tails would die along with Bee.

After the Eight-Tails dies, it will take some time to revive, which will delay Madara's Eye of the Moon plan, giving the Allied Forces a chance to catch their breath.

A very rational decision.

But such decisions are made at the expense of others to achieve one's own goals.

If Tobirama were willing to sacrifice the Nine-Tails of his own village, the Fourth Raikage would think more highly of him.

Sacrificing your own brother is betraying your allies.

The Fourth Raikage didn't say anything; this wasn't the time to argue.

But he would not agree to abandon Killer Bee to survive.

Although he and Killer Bee are not blood brothers, their bond is stronger than that of blood brothers; it is a friendship forged through years of working together and facing life and death together.

Not just Kirabi.

There are also the ninja forces of Kumogakure, whose members are the elite of the Land of Lightning and comrades-in-arms who charged into battle alongside the Fourth Raikage.

How could he abandon his comrades and run back alone?
