Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Itachi looked at Tsunade with his Sharingan, showing no fear in the face of the legendary Sannin, who were far superior to other ninjas.

"Because my uncle killed his fellow villagers, he is now a rogue ninja, and every ninja in Konoha has the right to kill a rogue ninja."

Tsunade nodded: "I didn't expect that someone your age could see things so clearly. Mikoto, you, as his mother, are not as mature as he is."

"I'm sorry!" Mikoto bowed deeply.

Tsunade shook her head: "I can't be bothered with your Uchiha affairs anymore, but the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. This brat named Itachi shouldn't be running around like this anymore, or he might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Tsunade."

Mikoto felt that if Tsunade became Hokage, she might be able to change the awkward situation of the Uchiha clan in the village.

She doesn't hold the same old ideas as those older people.

Tsunade appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She was only four years old, and she could open her Sharingan at the age of four.

No wonder Grandpa, Teacher, and that old man Danzo were so wary of the Uchiha.

The Uchiha's power is too extreme; they gain power by losing their loved ones!

"Come on, tell me what kind of person Liao Wu is? To this day, I have never truly understood his heart."

Mikoto nodded, and as she led Tsunade to a place, she reminisced about Ryou's past: "My brother was the most cheerful and lively Uchiha."

"He used to stay up for three nights straight, his eyes bloodshot, and then he went to the clan to ask for subsidies, saying that he had opened his eyes."

"Hahaha……"

Kushina has a very low threshold for laughter; she couldn't help but laugh when she heard about the outrageous things Ryou did when he was a child.

The village that suited her best was Ryoubu, but unfortunately Kushina was strictly forbidden from getting close to the Uchiha, and could only associate with a few Uchiha who did not have ulterior motives.

The Third Hokage specifically instructed Kushina not to get close to Ryogoku, even though he had done Minato a favor!

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh, thinking of the silly things Liao Wu had done when he was a child to get her attention.

Mikoto took Tsunade and Kushina to Konoha Hospital, where Ryouwu used to work.

"Liao Wu is a complete scoundrel. After buying accident insurance for the child, he just brought two wads of paper to claim compensation."

"Liao Wu is all talk and no action. I know he's rich, and I wanted to have a one-night stand with him to earn some money, but he asked me if I could use my medical insurance?"

Kushina laughed all the way, clutching her stomach. She was determined to give Minato a good talking-to when she got back.

How could we just kill such an interesting Uchiha like that? It would be much better to capture her and keep her entertained.

Minato really has no sense of propriety!

Itachi was speechless. Liao Wu had been lying to himself about how highly respected and compassionate he was at Konoha Hospital.

This is completely unlike the Uchiha style!

No wonder the clan has always disliked him!

until--

Mikoto led Tsunade and the others to the patients that Liaowu often treated. Whenever Tsunade and the others mentioned Liaowu, they denied it. When Liaowu was mentioned, they looked like they were jumping up and down in the sun.

"Lord Ryogoku, I never believed he would defect. The Third Hokage must have made a mistake."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, let me tell you a secret, every time I come to Lord Liaowu for treatment, it's the most cost-effective. A special medicine that costs 10,000 taels only costs 1,000 taels in his hands."

"This medicine is not available in hospitals. It is all made by Lord Liaowu himself. The raw materials are also grown by Lord Liaowu himself, and he does the quality inspection himself."

"But I didn't tell him that the money I gave him was from a drawing I did myself, hahaha..."

"..."

Tsunade looked at the bald patient in front of her and was smugly pleased with herself for being able to take advantage of Liao Wu.

She shook her head and turned to ask the next person, a disabled ninja with missing arms and legs.

The ninja grabbed Liao Wu and started cursing: "That Liao Wu, he drew a bunch of explosive tags and made me buy them on the black market. I got caught and almost got beaten to death."

Tsunade asked in confusion, "Your legs and arms are thanks to Liao Wu."

The disabled ninja shook his head: "No, I accidentally stepped on an explosive tag on the front line and it exploded. I didn't expect Liao Wu to save me, but I'm crippled now, my home is gone, and my wife and children have run away."

"The village's meager subsidies were no match for me. Fortunately, I still had some mobility, so Liao Wu introduced me to his gang and asked me to help him sell counterfeit explosive tags on the black market."

The disabled ninja glanced at Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade, Liao Wu really committed suicide? So I just pocketed all the money I got from selling him fake talismans?"

"Would you like me to share some with you?"

"..."

Tsunade really wanted to lock this guy up in Konoha prison, but seeing his miserable state, she decided against it.

After going around in circles, Tsunade and Kushina were feeling rather heavy-hearted.

Liao Wu was indeed not as simple as he appeared on the surface; the things he did in secret were all aimed at undermining the interests of Konoha Hospital.

Even if he didn't defect because of human experimentation, he would eventually be imprisoned as a prison guard.

But what about the money? Where did it ultimately end up? Is it in his refrigerator?

Mikoto said, "My brother himself is not doing well, and he can't stand seeing so much suffering in the world. The Uchiha police only found some explosive tags he drew and some counterfeit drugs in his refrigerator."

"He used part of his money for forbidden jutsu experiments, and the rest was used to help ninjas who had lost their ability to survive after returning from the battlefield!"

"Lady Tsunade, you also know about the medicine at Konoha Hospital..."

If Konoha is truly as peaceful as it seems, then all you need to do is go to Konoha Hospital and find out about the medical fees!

In the official Naruto novel "Itachi's True Story," there is a Hyuga branch named Kohinata Mukai, a Jonin.

Because his child was seriously ill and needed expensive medical treatment, he had to act as a spy for the Hidden Mist.

A Jonin who can't afford his own child's medical expenses?

A Jonin is rewarded with 15 to 100 ryo for completing an A-rank mission.

How expensive do you think this medicine has to be to be considered expensive?

Konoha's medical system is the most comprehensive in the ninja world, but it is not solely owned by the village; rather, it is monopolized by the major clans.

The Ino-Shika-Cho clans provided medicinal herbs, the Sarutobi clan provided political support, and the Senju clan provided medical ninjas...

"Note: The Senju clan is not an entirely fabricated story from fanfiction where they are all extinct or disbanded. In the official novel 'Itachi Shinden,' the Senju clan is alive and well, still teaching at the Ninja Academy."

The relationship between ninjas and villages is one of employment, but it's a buyout system.

The higher-ups must take into account the ninjas' motivation for carrying out missions, just as the upper class designs the driving forces of people.

Is 3,000 yuan a month enough for him to eat his fill and then work himself to death?

A Jonin only needs to complete a few A-rank missions to achieve financial freedom. But once he's financially free, would he still want to go back to those days of living on the edge, where his fate was not in his own hands?

Unless it is a mandatory mandate from the village, such as a mandatory mobilization order during wartime.

At other times, Jonin have the right to refuse dangerous missions.

Ninjas are a group of people who do dirty work for the rich and powerful. If they lack motivation, who will take on the village's tasks?

Therefore, the village will always keep ninjas without economic means in check, ensuring that they work hard to complete missions and fulfill their obligations.

Specifically, this is reflected in the high cost of medical and logistical support. Ninjas are not immortal cultivators. Although they have higher resistance to injury than ordinary people, they are still within the realm of humanity.

They eat when they're hungry and sleep when they're tired. They get injured and bleed; losing limbs is commonplace in ninja battles.

Moreover, most of the injuries were caused by ninjutsu, which ordinary medical personnel could not treat.

It requires a medical ninja with superb medical ninjutsu skills, and also must be combined with specially made special medicine.

During the Chunin Exams, Rock Lee was injured by Gaara, breaking his bones.

Such accidents happened far too often to ninjas.

Rock Lee was lucky to have met Might Guy, a great Jonin mentor, and Tsunade, a Hokage who recognized his ninja way.

Without personal connections and Tsunade's influence, even an elite Jonin like Guy would have to become a spy to raise enough money for Rock Lee's surgery.

It's not even certain that it can be cured.

Without a clan or a powerful backer, ninjas are just a group of food delivery runners.

People only see the generous rewards ninjas receive for completing missions, but on the other hand, medical care for ninjas is extremely expensive.

The prices of weapons are beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas. Not to mention specially made ones, weapons such as explosive tags, kunai, and shuriken are ridiculously expensive.

To perform well, you need to fully upgrade your character, maxing out explosive tags, kunai, and shuriken, and using the most expensive painkillers and medkits.

Konoha has abandoned the heavy armor of the Warring States period, which has resulted in everyone being like glass cannons, collapsing at the slightest touch.

Ninjas may be flashy and seemingly invincible, capable of scaling walls and leaping across rocks, but in reality, they are just like ordinary people, subject to the harsh realities of life.
