Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

In Madara's eyes, Mount Myōboku is someone who likes to meddle in other people's business.

So Madara's first guess was Mount Myōboku, and he was right; the Two-Tails and the Nine-Tails were indeed hiding there.

Liao Wu said resentfully, "No wonder my spies in Konoha couldn't find that vixen Kushina; she was hiding in Mount Myōboku."

"Madara, stop dawdling. Let's take Mount Myōboku now. The Two-Tails and the Nine-Tails are yours, and Yugito and Kushina are mine."

"That bastard Minato has ruined our plans time and time again. I've wanted to steal his wife for a long time!"

Ban slapped Liao Wu, sending him flying far away.

"A scapegoat for holistic education, truly a disgrace to the Uchiha clan!"

Madara cursed at Liao Wu, when suddenly his Rinnegan spotted a dilapidated building. His Sage Mode sensed a chakra spying on them.

"How dare you!"

Madara extended his hand and released Universal Pull, drawing a strong figure dressed in a Kirigakure ninja uniform from the building into his hand.

Madara grabbed the man by the neck and sneered, "The Allied Shinobi Forces didn't leave with Hashirama and the others. Are they trying to gather information about me from where they are?"

Liao Wu, standing nearby, got a clear look at the man's appearance: a shark-man, tall and strong, with blue skin and sharp teeth.

Just by looking at this person, you can tell that his ancestors did something terrible to sharks.

"Oh my, isn't that Kisame?"

Ban looked at Liao Wu with suspicion: "You know him?"

Liao Wu shook his head: "I don't know him, but I heard about this person when I was in Konoha. Madara, this guy seems to have come to join you."

"You want to come and join me?!"

Madara was somewhat surprised and released his grip on Kisame's neck.

Kisame let out a long sigh of relief; he had almost been strangled to death by Madara.

Fortunately, Liao Wu saw through his actions.

After Kisame regained his breathing, he knelt down in front of Madara.

"Lord Madara, I...I want to participate in your Eye of the Moon Project."

"oh?!"

Madara became interested; so far, this was the first person to proactively approach Madara and express their agreement with his Eye of the Moon plan.

The Eye of the Moon project is quite attractive to many people who can't find a place to belong in reality.

But these people can't even find a place to belong in reality, so what ability do they have to find Ban?

Sasori's approval of Madara's Eye of the Moon plan was merely an artistic endorsement; he simply felt that Madara's Eye of the Moon plan possessed eternal art, rather than providing ideological support.

When Kisame, a ninja from Kirigakure, came to see Madara, Madara found it quite novel.

Ban also needs to find some foundation for his grand ideals.

Right now, Kisame, the only Akatsuki member who firmly believed in the Eye of the Moon Plan from beginning to end, has come to join Madara.

Madara then asked Kisame some questions.

Is he just bored and has nothing better to do than support his Eye of the Moon project?

Kisame told Madara about his experiences. He was from Kirigakure and was like a sand tiger shark, having to compete with his brothers and sisters for food when he was young.

Upon graduation, you must kill your comrade, and during the mission, you must ensure that the intelligence does not fall into the enemy's hands.

Always keep your knife pointed at your comrades, and in case of an emergency, immediately silence them.

After hearing Kisame's description of the village atmosphere in Kirigakure, Liao Wu suddenly felt that living in Konoha was quite a blessing, although the bullying was a bit too much.

But at least they're still alive.

Growing up in such an extremely oppressive environment as Kirigakure, sexual repression would be considered a sign of mental health!

At least he's still a human being.

Most of the ninjas who emerge from the blood mist are psychologically twisted; they are either perverts or murderers.

After Kisame finished speaking, he looked at Madara cautiously.

This is a gamble. Madara is not an easy person to talk to; you can tell by how he kills indiscriminately at the slightest provocation.

Kisame's water-style techniques are among the best in Kirigakure, but they are nothing compared to Madara's.

Perhaps Madara looked down on Kisame and kicked him to death with one kick.

In that case—Kisame accepts it!

Everyone in this world is an illusion; perhaps Kisame will experience a sliver of reality when he dies.

"..."

Madara stood with his arms crossed, silently watching Kisame.

People like Ban usually poach people to be their subordinates; this is the first time I've seen someone apply for a job directly.

He believed that he would be a lone wolf after losing Izuna, otherwise he would not have left Konoha alone in the first place.

Should we accept someone like Kisame?

Kisame was not weak. With the help of his Sage Mode, Madara could sense that Kisame's chakra was far beyond that of ordinary people.

This chakra has the scent of the deep sea; it's clearly the work of a skilled Hidden Mist ninja with masterful Water Release techniques.

However, Madara had some doubts about Kisame's background.

Although Madara controlled Kirigakure, he only used genjutsu to control the Third Mizukage; he was not interested in the other members of Kirigakure.

Seeing Ban's indecisiveness, Liao Wu offered a solution: "Ban, kill him. You're a lone wolf whose entire family is dead; you don't need followers!"

"You brat!"

Ban reached out to slap Liao Wu, but Liao Wu quickly dodged.

Kisame glanced at Liao Wu subconsciously. He thought this guy had some great love for protecting the Land of Rain before, but it turns out he's a complete beast!

After Madara drove away Ryougo, he looked at Kisame, seemingly deciding Kisame's life or death.

Kisame also felt uneasy. Although he was not afraid of death, he also hated dying in a meaningless way.

Madara said, "Stay!"

Kisame breathed a sigh of relief and bowed before Madara: "I swear to serve Lord Madara to the death!"

However, Madara didn't completely trust Kisame. He patted Kisame's head and said, "You just arrived. I don't have time to verify your loyalty."

"I've left a curse mark in your mind. If you betray me, that curse mark will make you wish you were dead!"

Kisame firmly replied, "Lord Madara, rest assured, I will never betray you."

Kisame already knows what he wants: truth, the truth of treating truth with truth.

Madara's illusionary world is what Kisame believes to be real.

Spotted Head: "Get up!"

Fishball sighed beside him. Just like that, he followed Ban, and the youth of a promising young man was wasted.

Why would anyone come to seek refuge with that old devil, Ban?

When Ban saw Yuwan sigh, he tapped it on the head: "Yuwan, what are you sighing about?"

"No, Ancestor, I was just congratulating you on gaining a great general!"

"general?!"

Madara glanced at Kisame and shook his head: "He's not quite there yet!"

Kisame stole a glance at Samehada, the greatsword behind Uobu, his eyes gleaming with greed! Who would have thought that Samehada, the greatsword of Suigetsu Fuguki, would end up in the hands of a mere Hakimi?!

It seems that the pufferfish demon has already died in the previous war. Kisame mourned for his old superior for a second.
