Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

However, after Kinkaku and Ginkaku caught up with him, Shukaku fled into the Nara Desert and blended into the surrounding desert.

The Nara Desert is the largest desert in the Land of Wind, covering an area the size of the Land of Water.

Finding traces of the crane in the vast desert is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The Gold and Silver Brothers weren't going to be foolish enough to just search for Liaowu in the desert. They subdued the villains of Zeizawa and established their own rogue ninja group—Koujiao.

The term "寇" means to plunder and harass. Taking the horns of the two brothers together makes it "寇角".

Besides the villains subdued in Zeisawakubo, the villains of the Wind Country, upon hearing that they were the legendary Golden Horn and Silver Horn, came to seek refuge with the two brothers.

They formed a gang of thieves numbering over a thousand.

Silver Horn carelessly tossed the leftover bones aside, somewhat dejected, and said, "If you ask me, don't bother going after that brat Uchiha Ryou."

"We, Kouju, have gathered hundreds of rogue ninja. Let's go to Sunagakure and have a good, thorough slaughter!"

"We brothers possess the power of the Nine-Tails; the Kazekage of Sunagakure will be no match for us."

Kinkaku shook his head: "Ginkaku, this is no longer the chaotic era we lived in. The Ninja Clan is very powerful now."

"If we attack Sunagakure, they will definitely ask Konoha for help, and that guy Tobirama Senju has the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he can arrive at Sunagakure very quickly."

Silver Horn snorted, "I'm not afraid of Tobirama. If we brothers can kill him once, we can kill him a second time."

Kinkaku leaned against the cave wall and said, "We don't need to be afraid of Tobirama, but Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"We can't use our Nine-Tails chakra in front of Kushina, and we might even be controlled by her."

Silverhorn was somewhat frustrated: "I thought that with Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage dead, this world would be ours, but I didn't expect there to be so many people who can threaten us."

"Golden Horn, why are you so determined to track down Uchiha Ryou?"

Gold Horn cursed at Silver Horn: "Silver Horn, are you stupid? He has Madara's other Rinnegan. If we could steal his Rinnegan, we brothers wouldn't be afraid of anyone!"

"But can we transplant the Rinnegan?"

Silverhorn was somewhat worried.

"Why can't we have it transplanted? We are also descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. We can even fuse with the Nine-Tails' cells, so why can't we fuse with the Rinnegan?"

Silver Horn nodded, thinking smugly, "Gold Horn, when we find Uchiha Ryou, the Rinnegan is yours, and his two Sharingan are mine."

Jinjiao hummed in agreement.

Silver Horn asked Gold Horn, "Gold Horn, have you thought about what you'll do after you get the Rinnegan?"

Jinjiao sat up cross-legged: "Then of course we must fight our way back to Yunyin and reclaim everything that belongs to us."

When it comes to Yunyin, both brothers feel a sense of nostalgia.

They were all ninjas from Kumogakure who, dissatisfied with the Second Raikage's weak peace talks, decided to launch a coup, dominate Kumogakure, and reignite the Ninja War.

Silverhorn was somewhat worried: "Kumakuha is now a branch of the Ninja Clan. If we attack Kumogakuha, the Ninja Clan will also react."

Kinkaku nodded: "That is indeed a difficult problem. Then we will take in the entire rogue ninja world and deal with the Ninja Clan."

"A traitor to the ninja world?!"

"Yes, the Ninja Sect wants to control all ninjas in the ninja world. Rogue ninjas and wandering ninjas are used to being unrestrained, so how can they be subject to the strict control of the Ninja Sect?"

"Look at our Koujiao, the reason why so many rogue ninjas can gather here is because the Ninja Clan has compressed their living space."

"In that case, my brother and I will subdue all the rogue ninjas in the ninja world and fight against the Ninja Sect."

"Alright, let's fight against the Ninja Clan!"

Silver Horn chimed in with a touch of bravado.

The brothers, Gold Horn and Silver Horn, possess the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox's resentment, making them inherently bloodthirsty and violent.

The stronger the Ninja Clan became, the more determined they were to resist.

Fighting with others is endlessly enjoyable.

After chatting for a while, Silver Horn lay down and said, "Gold Horn, if Uchiha Ryoubu hides in the sand and never comes out, are we going to spend the rest of our lives searching for him in this godforsaken place?"

Jinjiao shook his head: "Impossible. Let's search for a while longer. If we still haven't seen him, then we should leave!"

Silver Horn suggested, "Gold Horn, I heard from my men that there is a small country called Loulan in the Nara Desert."

"There is a powerful chakra in the ground of this country called the Dragon Vein. The Loulan people use the Dragon Vein to make puppets, which can make the puppets perpetually moving puppet soldiers."

"A dragon vein?! It actually possesses such wondrous chakra?"

"Yeah, if we can't find Uchiha Ryou, we'll steal the Dragon Vein Chakra."

"good!"

……

A desert city in the Nara desert, named Hisa-zhai (飛沙砦).

A nightclub in the Hisa Fortress is called Sunset Flower Town.

Layer upon layer of curtains blocked out the biting desert winds outside, while the warm aroma of incense filled the room, suppressing the earthy smell of sand and dust.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the woman's slender, supple waist, her sheer dress partially concealing her skin as she swayed gently with her dance steps.

The courtesans of Sunset Flower Town have captivating eyes and alluring charm. With a slight lift of their fingertips, they raise their cups to offer a drink.

The ninja, samurai, and wealthy merchants who came and went shed their worldly dust and guardedness, indulging in the pleasures of the land.

Sunset Flower Town, also known as Chicken Shop.

A masked boy with silver hair sat in the corner, next to a person wearing a hood and hiding himself completely.

"Kakashi, you rascal, here you are again, drinking and carousing."

Obito, his face flushed, peered through his hood at the alluring and sexy geishas.

Obito and Kakashi are not young anymore; in the Warring States period, people their age were already old enough to pull carts.

Kakashi, holding a wine glass and taking a sip, said, "Obito, we've been in the Land of Wind for quite some time now, and we still haven't found any trace of Liaowu."

Where do you think he'll hide?

Obito pointed at the wine glass in Kakashi's hand and scolded, "Kakashi, have you forgotten the Three Commandments of Ninja? I'll tell Lord White Fang."

Kakashi put down his wine glass, looked around at the lavish surroundings, and said, "Obito, do you remember where we found the Raigu back in the Land of Rain?"

Obito was confused: "Kakashi, I don't think I was part of your team back in the Land of Rain?"

Kakashi realized that Obito had been mistakenly thought to be dead, and that the new member of Minato's team was Kurenai.

"Obito, you weren't there at the time, but Rin and I found Ryou in a brothel. I remember it very clearly; he was embracing two sexy women."

Obito looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, you mean—Liaowu might very well appear in such a brothel in the desert!"

Kakashi nodded: "Just as a drunkard frequents taverns, a lecherous man can't possibly avoid brothels!"

"Uchiha Ryou, after staying underground in the desert for so long, he's bound to lose control. He'll definitely come up here to solicit prostitutes."

Kakashi took out a yellow book and began to state his opinion.

Obito looked at Kakashi with disdain: "Kakashi, I think you're just enjoying yourself at public expense. And you even told Minato-sensei that you were out searching for Liaowu's whereabouts."

Kakashi pointed at Obito: "Obito, you can leave!"

Obito didn't move an inch. He explained, "Kakashi, I have Kamui. If we encounter Ryoubu, I can take you away."

"Stubborn!"
