Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Liao Wu had finished his business and was no longer worried about the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura spying on him. At this moment, Liao Wu was giving Temari and Kamatari military training.

Temari is doing push-ups, while Kamatori is doing handstands.

Liao Wu held a thorny vine, and if either the man or the beast slacked off even slightly, they would be beaten by Liao Wu.

Ye Cang watched helplessly from the side, but there was nothing he could do.

This kind of training is too early for Temari at this stage, and it could hurt the child's body.

But since Liao Wu had Wood Release chakra that could repair Temari's body, Yekura didn't care and went to rinse her mouth.

Don't ask why I need to rinse my mouth so late at night.

Temari looked resentful, but she persevered and completed Liaowu's task, determined not to be underestimated by Liaowu.

Sickley began to beg for mercy: "Sir, I'm just a weasel, I can't take this kind of training!"

"Weasels, I hate weasels the most!"

Liao Wu tugged at Sickle Dori: "Stand still!"

Suddenly, Liao Wu realized something was wrong, feeling like someone was spying on him.

He activated his immortal mode to search for that strange feeling.

But as soon as Liao Wu entered Immortal Mode, that eerie feeling of being spied on disappeared.

"Damn it, if you dare to peep again, Cao's mother will be punished!"

"..."

Hamura glanced at the Sage of Six Paths.

Just as the Sage of Six Paths finished spying with his crystal ball, Liao Wu's auspicious greetings to their mother burst in.

The Sage of Six Paths chuckled somewhat awkwardly, "This brat is a descendant of Indra. Just as Tobirama Senju said, he is an Uchiha born evil."

Yu Cun said displeasedly, "Disrespecting the Immortal Master deserves punishment!"

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head: "We are all deceased souls; let's not interfere with the workings of this world!"

Hamura understood, "Does brother mean we shouldn't concern ourselves with Mother's chakra?"

The Sage of Six Paths nodded: "Our mission has come to an end. We should entrust this era to the future!"

The Sage of Six Paths' crystal ball flashed images of several people rapidly, like a slideshow.

Hashirama, Tobirama, Minato, Kushina, Kakashi, Obito...

Hamura even saw Madara in it.

"Even if it ends badly, doesn't your brother care?"

"It's not that I don't care, but I'm just going with the flow. Uncertainty is a good thing!"

"We, who should never have seen each other again, are now reunited!"

Hamura nodded, then said, "My descendants seem to have misunderstood my ideals; they want to destroy the ninja world you led."

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths flicked the crystal ball toward the moon and saw Hyundo performing a ritual for Aoi, his face filled with grief and hatred for the ninja world.

"They've grown so far removed from the earth that they've gradually placed themselves in the position of gods in the heavens!"

Hamura did not object, and looked at the Toneri in Xuan Dou's arms, saying, "This child's bloodline is very close to mine. As long as he has a pair of Byakugan, he can awaken my Tenseigan."

"If you teach them carefully, they will one day inherit my position and become the lunar defense line of the ninja world!"

Hamura not only guards Kaguya's seal, but also shoulders the task of defending against people from the Otsutsuki main family.

"But this child's father now only feels hatred!"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed: "Hatred is the theme of curses. I once thought of using chakra to connect our hearts."

"But compared to love, hate seems to occupy people's minds more easily."

Hamura did not speak.

"May Hashirama inherit Ashura's will and dispel all the curses!"

The Sage of Six Paths' crystal ball was moved to the Konoha meeting room.

Onoki's flattery followed immediately: "Everyone, I think this Ninja Clan needs a leader, and I propose that the First Hokage be our Ninja Clan's leader!"

"Alright, alright, the First Hokage shall be the leader of the Ninja Clan!"

Everyone agreed.

The Sage of Six Paths was speechless: "The leader of the Ninja Sect is not the sect master!"

The Ninja Sect is not a sect, but a philosophy, a religion.

The leader of the Ninja Clan is simply called the leader; there are no fancy titles like "Head of State" or "Emperor."

It's just a common name.

The leader of the Ninja Clan is not superior to anyone else.

But Onoki didn't know that since it's called the Ninja Clan, you, as the leader, are called the Clan Master!

Hashirama shrugged and said, "I'm already a dead man. The leader of the Ninja Clan shouldn't be a dead man!"

Mifune wasn't as sycophantic as Onoki when he flattered someone. He said, "First Hokage, only you are qualified to be the sect leader."

"You are the God of Shinobi, and the saint who pacified the Warring States period; no one is more suitable than you!"

"this…"

Hashirama still felt it was inappropriate.

Tobirama pressed on Hashirama's shoulder and said, "Brother, just agree! The Senju clan is the legitimate successor of the Ninja Clan."

Sarutobi Sasuke nodded: "Yes, First Hokage, my father told me that the Senju are a family with a long history."

"Many years ago, the leader of this clan led the Ninja Clan to spread love and justice. The First Hokage was a hero who ended the Warring States period."

"Our Ninja Alliance's Ninja Sect must be led by someone who can hold their own in a situation."

"Only the First Generation Lord has this qualification!"

After some back and forth, Hashirama was pushed into the position of leader of the Ninja Clan, and the Kage rank was not abolished.

However, above the Kage title appeared a title even more intimidating than the Daimyo – Ninja Clan Master!

The Five Kage obey the orders of the Ninja Clan Master! They manage the five great ninja villages for the Ninja Clan Master.

Onoki's flattery followed immediately: "I've heard that the Sage of Six Paths was the first leader of the Ninja Clan. I think Lord Hashirama deserves the title of Sage."

"How about this, I'll bestow a Buddhist title upon Lord Hashirama! How about 'Sage of the Spirit Tree'?"

The Fourth Raikage looked at Onoki with some disdain. Onoki was known in Iwagakure for his absolute authority, believing himself to be the only one worthy of respect.

It was this very personality that Lao Zi found extremely distasteful and that led to their discord.

But in front of Hashirama, Onoki was not as stubborn as he had imagined. On the contrary, he spoke quite nicely and put himself in the position of the Grand Elder of the Ninja Clan.

Hashirama felt somewhat ashamed: "I cannot bear the title of Sage!"

Everyone quickly reassured him, "What do you mean you can't bear it? Lord Hashirama is too modest. Your legend is second only to the Sage of Six Paths. You are worthy of being worshipped by the common people!"

After much persuasion from everyone, and after Hashirama declined three times, he finally became the Sage of Spirit Wood and the leader of the Ninja Clan.

Minato had a slight objection: "The name 'Sage of the Spirit Tree' doesn't sound good. I'll come up with something else!"

The Third Hokage pulled Minato down, saying, "Minato, don't bother taking it!"

With the Ninja Sect established, we also have the Spirit Wood Sage, who rivals the Sage of Six Paths.

Now the setup is completely complete!

Hashirama became the leader of the Ninja Clan. The Sage of the Woods scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

Tobirama sighed and said, "Brother, tell everyone to prepare to move to Mount Myōboku!"

Hashirama worried, "If the main force is all moved to Mount Myōboku, what will happen if the village encounters the enemy?"

Tobirama shrugged: "We'll just have to accept it. We're all already outmatched by Madara and Ryougo."

"How can we divide our forces?"
