Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

The wood in Tobirama's hand sprouted leaves and turned into a sapling.

Tobirama looked at the sapling in his hand and said, "Many members of the Senju clan have had White Zetsu cells transplanted into them. Wood Release has now truly become the Senju clan's bloodline limit."

"Even in death, my elder brother is using his power to protect future generations."

Tobirama squatted down and planted the sapling in his hand on the ground. The sapling then quickly grew into a large tree.

"Kushina, you have your elder brother's talent. You must inherit his power and protect the Ninja Clan well."

"yes!"

Kushina stood at attention.

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation. I'll go take care of your work!"

Kushina asked, "Grandpa Tobirama, what level of training do I need to reach to be considered qualified?"

Tobirama crossed his arms and thought for a moment: "How about this, as long as you can unleash the Thousand-Armed Buddha, you can go wherever you want?"

Kushina clenched her fists, her fighting spirit high, and said, "Grandpa Tobirama, just you wait! I'll be able to summon the Thousand-Armed Kannon soon."

Tobirama smiled. The Thousand-Armed Buddha, as the highest level of Wood Release ninjutsu, is not so easy to master.

Tobirama turned and left, but as he left, he worried that Kushina's training in the Thousand-Armed Buddha would destroy Konoha.

"Kushina, take it easy. The power of the Thousand-Armed Kannon could easily destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Go train at the furthest training ground!"

"yes!"

……

root.

Ryoma Aburame approached Kabuto: "Kabuto, you've mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Now, summon Lord Danzo from the Pure Land!"

After the establishment of the Ninjutsu, the Root organization, as the darkest branch of Konoha, was not abolished; on the contrary, it was expanded.

It was Tobirama's order.

The Anbu is a special assassination unit composed of elites from Konoha and other villages, and it is under the command of the Five Kage of the Ninja Clan.

The Root organization is entirely composed of Konoha ninjas, all of whom are the most steadfast fighters in Konoha.

The Senju family accounted for a large proportion.

The Root organization is completely under Tobirama's command; it is a private army that Tobirama established himself, bypassing the Ninja Cult.

Root has only one mission: to secretly execute separatists from other villages who have independence tendencies, and to monitor the Five Kage and the Uchiha clan.

The Root organization does extremely shady things, and once exposed, Tobirama will become a rat that everyone hates.

Ryoma felt that such matters should be handled by a specialist, so he asked Tobirama to agree to the request of Danzo, the former leader of the Edo Tensei Root.

Tobirama agreed, wanting to personally use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but Ryoma said that their Root organization had a member who mastered it.

Tobirama was quite curious, so Ryoma handed over the information about Kabuto to Tobirama.

After Tobirama finished reading it, he had Ryoma implant a cursed seal into Kabuto.

Kabuto was forced to have Orochimaru's cells implanted by Root, who threatened the lives of orphans in the orphanage, and thus learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Kabuto has the potential to betray his roots, so he must be kept firmly under control.

Kabuto looked at Ryuma with his snake-like eyes and asked, "Now that Lord Danzo has been resurrected, can Urushi be released?"

Ryoma said, "Kabuto, Urushi and the others have adapted to life in Root, and they have become qualified Root ninjas."

"..."

Dou remained silent.

Rather than being a qualified Root ninja, it would be more accurate to say that all his emotions had been extinguished.

They passed the final test at the root, which was to kill their own companions with whom they had spent every day to complete the assessment.

Children chosen from ten orphanages fought each other in pairs, leaving five in the end. Two of them, unable to bear the pain of killing their best friend, committed suicide.

Besides Dou, there are three other orphans left.

Uruxi is one of them.

Kabuto had considered using snow leopards to rescue the children, but Tobirama had the Anbu search all the dark corners of Konoha.

The snow leopard's methods within Root were all eliminated, and in order to avoid Kushina's malicious perception, it quickly left Konoha.

A dangling cloth can't save anyone.

Ryoma reminded Kabuto: "Kabuto, let's begin. Kushina is a leaf bathed in sunlight, while we are roots in the darkness."

"Let's resurrect Lord Danzo, so he can lead us to take deeper root and make the Ninja Sect tree grow even taller!"

Dou nodded numbly as Ryuma led him to the Edo Danzo ceremony.

One of them, a white Zetsu, was cultivated by Root itself.

The root region is Tobirama's private army, where white Zetsu cells are extensively used.

Kabuto saw Urushi while he was on guard duty.

Even though the other person was wearing a cold mask, Kabuto still recognized him.

However, Urushi did not meet Kabuto's gaze. His eyes had lost all light; he had recently killed his companion with whom he ate and slept.

They have been completely reduced to cold and ruthless ninja tools.

Kabuto hated all of this. Why could the Ninja Sect, which claimed to end all wars, tolerate such darkness as Root?

Does this world really need such darkness?

……

It is unclear when exactly, but rumors began to spread that Uchiha Ryou was hiding in the Nara Desert, and many forces turned their attention to the Land of Wind—the hometown of Shukaku.

The Land of Wind, the Nara Desert, the Thief's Hollow.

Zesawakubo is a depression oasis surrounded by shifting sands in the Nara Desert, where desert caravans and messengers would pass through.

It also attracted rogue ninjas, hardened criminals, and sand bandits from the Land of Wind.

The villains would ambush caravans and messengers crossing the desert to divide their loot and rest.

Zesawakubo is the largest oasis raiding stronghold in the Land of Wind, and is not subject to any laws.

However, a few months ago, two ninjas with horns on their heads and six lines on their faces broke into the place.

The villains thought they would be easy prey, but they never expected it to be two beams of light in the clouds, the most notorious villains in the history of Cloud Village—Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

Jinjiao and Yinjiao entered Zeizewa and killed half of the people. The other half submitted to the two brothers and became their henchmen, helping them find Liaowu's whereabouts.

The caves where the Golden Horn and Silver Horn dwell.

Golden Horn was eating a roasted wolf leg, his mouth covered in oil.

Silverhorn was also eating meat heartily beside him.

Silver Horn paused for a moment, then asked Gold Horn, "Gold Horn, is that brat Uchiha Ryou really in the Nara Desert? We've been searching for so long and haven't found him. Could we have made a mistake?"

Kinkaku shook his head: "Impossible. We could sense the presence of Uchiha Ryogoku and Shukaku back then, but later this guy used some kind of technique and we couldn't sense Uchiha Ryogoku's presence anymore."

Golden Horn and Silver Horn were once on the front lines of tracking Liao Wu. They were descendants of the Sage of Six Paths and possessed very powerful perception and tracking abilities.

Tobirama had no way to escape the relentless pursuit of the two brothers.

They couldn't sense Liao Wu's presence at first, but Shukaku's presence didn't disappear when Liao Wu vanished.

The two brothers guessed that Ryougo had been taken to the Nara Desert by Shukaku, so they came after him.
