Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Leaves, roots.

Danzo was resurrected under Kabuto's impure soil.

Danzo felt nothing when he tried to sense the impure body. No wonder people who were impure and summoned always looked terrible.

Because such a body is a blasphemous act against the soul and violates ethics.

But Danzo endured it thanks to his dark heart.

He listened as Ryoma recounted everything that happened after his death.

Danzo once tried to seal Liaowu using the Inner Four Symbols Seal, but Liaowu managed to evade it.

Later, it was the attack from the moon that gave the Allied Shinobi Forces the opportunity to escape the Land of Rain.

Then comes the final battle at Mount Myōboku.

Danzo listened to everything, and when he heard that the Third Hokage had sacrificed his soul to seal Madara inside his stomach, he remained silent for a long time.

"So, Sarutobi... can't be resurrected, nor can he be reanimated?"

Ryoma nodded and then told Danzo about the current situation in Konoha.

The era of Naruto is over; now, the common dream of children at ninja academies is to become the head of the Ninja Clan.

The rulers of the five great ninja villages.

"Talking won't do any good, take me out to see it!"

"good!"

Ryuma led Danzo out of Root, but many of the Root ninjas remained indifferent to Danzo.

Because Danzo's direct descendants were few and far between, most of them were from the Senju family, and they only obeyed Tobirama's orders.

Danzo entered Konoha from darkness into moonlight and immediately saw that the once famous Hokage Rock had become the Sage Rock.

There is also the Hermit Rock standing next to Kushina in the middle of the mountain.

Konoha has been replaced as the headquarters of the Ninja Clan.

Danzo remained silent for a long time before finally exhaling and saying, "The Hokage is not just a title, but also the dream of a generation."

"A dream that Sarutobi and I have pursued for half our lives!"

"Can Konoha still be Konoha without a Hokage?"

Danzo felt unfamiliar with Konoha, which had incorporated many foreign elements; this village was no longer the Konoha he knew.

Ryoma remained silent, watching Danzo search for traces of Konoha.

Danzo could not be found, and even the shadow rock of Hashirama underwent a major adjustment, transforming it into Hashirama's Sage Mode.

"I can't find my old village anymore, Ryoma. Tell me, what should I pursue now that I've been resurrected?"

Ryoma glanced around and said, "The Hokage hasn't disappeared; he's just been overshadowed by the title of Ninja Clan Master."

"Lord Danzo, the purpose of Root's existence is to eliminate internal enemies, whether it be the Ninja Cult or Konoha."

"They're just titles; what's important is the people who protect the village."

"Didn't Lord Danzo dream of becoming Hokage, defeating the other four great ninja villages, and ruling them?"

Danzo slowly recalled that his ideal had always been to become Hokage and lead Konoha to dominate the ninja world.

Now, Konoha rules over the other four major ninja villages, and its leader is a member of Konoha. Isn't this a kind of hegemonic ambition to rule over all ninjas?

"Lord Danzo, the Ninjutsu should become the Ninjutsu of Konoha. The ninjas of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and other villages are still too clinging together."

"We should find a way to make them completely side with the Ninja Clan and not give them any chance to become independent."

Danzo nodded and slowly shrank into the darkness: "From today onwards, I am the darkness of the Ninja Clan, and I will bury everything from the old era."

Kabuto saw that Danzo had found his own meaning, so what about me?

What is the meaning of my existence?

Who am I, really?

Ryoma called to Kabuto, "Kabuto, according to reliable sources, your mother is in Hozuki Castle. If you want to save your mother, help us summon more powerful warriors with Edo Tensei!"

Kabuto grasped at a thread that allowed him to continue living. He was the child of Yakushi Nonou, and he had to at least rescue his adoptive mother from Hozuki Castle.

……

The Land of Winds, the Nara Desert.

The rogue ninja gang led by Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

Golden Horn shattered Silver Horn's beautiful dream.

"Golden Horn, why won't you let me sleep?"

Goldhorn grabbed the other man by the neck and said, "Silverhorn, wake up! We've got work to do. Uchiha Ryougo has appeared!"

"What?!"

Silver Horn's still somewhat drowsy mind suddenly cleared up, and he became somewhat excited, his chakra erupting with immense pressure.

"Where is he? Where is that brat?"

"According to information from the black market, that brat has run off to Loulan."

"Well, he actually went to Loulan? That brat must be after the dragon vein."

"Yes, Silverhorn, we absolutely mustn't let him get away this time!"

Golden Horn and Silver Horn donned their ninja attire, grabbed their weapons, and, calling to their underlings, set off for Loulan.

On the border of the Land of Wind, Orochimaru leads an anti-gang squad.

The boundless Gobi Desert stretches out in undulating yellow sand, a lone wind sweeps by, and for thousands of miles no vegetation can be seen.

This is the desert of the Land of Wind.

Orochimaru, dressed in black and wearing a hood, looked at the desert of the Land of Wind with an extremely bad mood.

"I hate the desert."

Killer Bee rapped: "♪ What a terrible environment. Those idiots and bastards from the Ninja Clan, why did they send us to the desert to track Black Zetsu?♫"

Hiruko sneered, "Because both Uchiha Ryou and Black Zetsu are in the desert of the Land of Wind."

There is also a member of the Hyuga clan in the team, Hyuga Hizashi, the leader of the Hyuga branch family.

He said, "Headquarters just sent a message that Shuimen and the others have gone after Loulan, and Liaowu has been chased to Loulan by Hei Zetsu."

Orochimaru said, "Let's rest and rehydrate first, then head to Loulan."

"yes!"

The group found a cool spot under a rock wall to rest.

Orochimaru and Hiruko kept a safe distance from Killer Bee and the others.

Orochimaru poured some drinking water on himself to cool down.

It is not a desert snake, but a white snake that prefers damp cave environments. It lacks a heat dissipation mechanism and its skin is prone to dehydration.

Hiruko, watching Orochimaru pour the precious water over himself, couldn't help but exclaim, "Orochimaru, have you really become a snake?"

Orochimaru didn't care at all: "So what if it is? Being a human or a snake is the same principle: if a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be doomed."

"Snakes are the same."

Hiruko glanced around and, seeing Killer Bee and the others busy with their own affairs, approached Orochimaru and whispered, "Orochimaru, are you really going to stay in the Ninja Clan for the rest of your life?"

Orochimaru pulled open his collar and showed Hiruko a mark on his shoulder.

He has a curse mark on his shoulder, which is the symbol of the Flying Thunder God technique.

"Both of us have been implanted with the Flying Thunder God Mark by Tobirama. Where do you think we can escape to?"
