Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the conflict was resolved.

The Ninja Sect was not destroyed, and Liaowu also gained a piece of land to cause trouble.

The only one to lose was the daimyo of the Land of Wind.

The Ninja Clan members released the Ryōe Ninja Cat, and Uomaru breathed at Tobirama: "Old Demon Senju, don't think that just because we signed a peace treaty we'll stop fighting."

"You just wait, you'll get what's coming to you next time!"

Tobirama glared at Yuwan, who quickly ran to Ryou's side.

"From now on, we're family!"

Liao Wu's hand and Kushina's hand clasped together, signifying the end of their hostile relationship.

……

The Uchiha clan's residence, Izuna's mansion.

Black Zetsu said with some regret, "That Liao Wu guy is just a weakling pretending to be an extremist. Why can't he fight the Ninja Clan?"

Black Zetsu hoped that Liao Wu would fight fiercely with the Ninja Clan, the more intense the fight, the better, so that he and his mother could continue to rise in the chaos.

Izuna snorted, "Unfilial descendant! He's satisfied with just a few pieces of land. Since he possesses power surpassing his elder brother, he should also have ambition to match it!"

Kuro said to Izuna, "It seems they are preparing for a ceasefire. Kushina has the ability to read malice, so I can't stay in Konoha for too long."

"And you? Have you thought it through?"

"..."

Izuna paused for a moment, then ultimately chose to cooperate with Black Zetsu. He needed power; having his chakra sealed by Tobirama, he couldn't do anything.

To rescue his older brother, who has been sealed away by the Grim Reaper, he needs more power, or rather, more allies.

……

Orochimaru watched Liao Wu from the side, his mind filled with doubt. He wished that Liao Wu and Kushina would fight to the death, so that they would both be severely injured and he could reap the benefits.

But how did peace eventually come about?

He was puzzled; Liao Wu didn't seem like the kind of Uchiha who could sit down and talk about peace.

Why are you giving in now?

Where did your previous arrogance go? Bring it out!

Hashirama knew how Ryougo had given in; he probably got warned by the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land!

Tobirama is negotiating with the cats, including Candy and Fish Ball.

Fishball said, "From now on, your Ninja Clan must recognize our Hagi Clan as its sect, because our Hagi Clan is the fourth holy land in the Ninja World."

"What fourth holy land? You made that up yourself!"

"I don't care, your Ninja Clan has to acknowledge our Hagi Clan as your sect and pay us protection money every year, or we'll have someone deal with you!"

"Nonsense!"

Hashirama called over Tobirama, who was negotiating with a group of thieving cats.

Hashirama said to Tobirama, "Tobirama, now that this matter is settled, I should leave!"

Tobirama's brows furrowed with displeasure; negotiating with those thieving cats like Fishball was practically like taking his blood pressure.

Unfortunately, Liao Wu didn't have many talented people around him, so these ninja cats were put in high positions.

Tobirama was even more upset when Hashirama was leaving.

"Big brother, I have a way to bring you back to life!"

In the ninja world, the line between the living and the dead is not particularly clear.

Even a small ninja village like Kusagakure possesses a secret technique that can revive people.

As a master of forbidden techniques, Tobirama had countless ways to revive Hashirama.

But the question isn't whether Tobirama possessed a forbidden technique for resurrection, but rather whether a saint like Hashirama would be willing to be resurrected.

This time, if it weren't against Liao Wu, but against someone else, then Hashirama in the Pure Land would be immune to Tobirama's soul summoning.

After acquiring the Truth-Seeking Balls, Hashirama was able to regain consciousness in the Pure Land and was received by the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura, and the Great Toad Sage.

Like them, they became guardians of the Pure Land.

Hashirama shook his head at Tobirama: "Tobirama, I can be resurrected without your power!"

Can the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land be resurrected?

can!

He has that ability, but he's unwilling to use it, just like Hamura.

They all possess the ability to evade death, yet they submit to it.

Those who make the rules are usually more committed to them than anyone else.

Hashirama had already mastered Yin-Yang Release and possessed Truth-Seeking Balls by fusing the seven attributes.

At that time, he, being in the form of impure earth, was able to be resurrected.

Even now, resurrection is just a thought for him.

But he was unwilling to, like the Sage of Six Paths, respect the rules and strictly define the boundaries between life and death.

Since you're dead, don't come out and cause trouble.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you!"

Unable to win against Hashirama's offer, Tobirama pleaded, "Keep an eye on Ryougo for me. I'm afraid he'll break the newly signed ceasefire agreement. Let's wait until that brat leaves Konoha before we leave, brother!"

Hashirama nodded.

Tobirama glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then whispered to Hashirama, "Big brother, why is that brat giving in?"

Hashirama pointed to the ground and whispered to Tobirama, "It's the Sage of Six Paths. He just warned Ryougo!"

Tobirama's pupils contracted, filled with horror.

The Sage of Six Paths, a figure from a thousand years ago, is still alive?

What exactly is his state of mind?

Could it be the legendary unity of heaven and man, or merging one's body with the Tao?

Tobirama wanted to use scientific evidence to understand the Sage of Six Paths' state, but the Sage of Six Paths' state could not be explained by science.

Tobirama was also amazed by the Sage of Six Paths. They couldn't handle Ryogoku, but Tobirama made Ryogoku sweat profusely with just a glance from across the yin and yang realms.

They're amazing!

Tobirama quietly asked Hashirama, "Brother, what level is the Sage of Six Paths at now? Has he become a god?"

After thinking for a moment, Hashirama replied, "His level of cultivation is very high; he is said to be the guardian of the Pure Land!"

"Isn't this like the King of Hell?!"

"I guess so! I myself was also assigned some work by the Sage of Six Paths!"

Tobirama exclaimed with delight, "Brother, no wonder you didn't want to be resurrected! Looks like you've finally found a job in the underworld!"

"Don't say that!"

Tsunade walked over, and Tobirama and Hashirama stopped their discussion about the Pure Land.

Tsunade had been so busy dealing with the troublesome Liao Wu that she hadn't had a chance to properly spend time with her two grandfathers.

Now I can save time to catch up with them properly.

The moment Tsunade and Hashirama saw each other, they both put their hands on their hips and burst into laughter, just like before.

"Tsunade, how have your gambling skills improved over the years?"

"Need I say more? You don't know my nickname outside: the God of Gamblers in the Ninja World!"

Tobirama scoffed, "You're not a gambling god, you're a fat sheep. You're going to gamble away the entire Senju family fortune."

"..."

Tsunade smiled somewhat awkwardly.
