Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Jiraiya left Mount Myōboku somewhat dazed and returned to Konoha.

He was completely baffled by the giant toad immortal.

What evil forces of the past, what weak forces now, that will destroy the world in the future.

The information given by the Great Toad Sage was abstract, but not too obscure; at least Jiraiya was able to deduce some things from it.

"If they have Sharingan, then they are from the Uchiha clan."

"But that's not right either. Kakashi isn't from the Uchiha clan, and he also has the Sharingan!"

"If this... Ancient Demon is a member of the Uchiha clan, then we can now confirm two people."

Jiraiya summarized the evil forces of the past that the Great Toad Sage spoke of as the Demons of the Past.

As far as Jiraiya knows, only Sasuke and Itachi remain in the Uchiha clan in the ninja world today.

"No, Kakashi should be included too!"

"But the master also said that this person comes from the past!"

"What does this mean... Could it be that this ancient demon has traveled through time from the past to the present?"

"Time travel—isn't that a plot from fantasy?"

"And the Rinnegan!!"

Jiraiya's expression immediately turned serious. He had once left three disciples in the Land of Rain.

One of the disciples was named Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

Jiraiya regarded him as the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, the prophesied son spoken of by the Great Toad Sage.

Jiraiya placed high hopes on Nagato, hoping that Nagato could break the eternal curse of the ninja world and fill the world with love.

After Jiraiya left, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan established an organization in the Land of Rain to spread the idea of ​​peace.

But I never heard of Nagato and the others again after that.

Jiraiya later went to look for traces of them, but he could not find Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan no matter what he did.

Jiraiya could only conclude that Nagato and the other two had met with misfortune.

"The Rinnegan?"

Jiraiya had an idea.

The Rinnegan is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths. This ancient demon possesses the eye of the Sage of Six Paths. Does this mean he is the Sage of Six Paths from the past?

No, how could the Sage of Six Paths destroy the world?

"This is really a headache!"

Jiraiya scratched his head, wondering how he should investigate this ancient demon.

All we can do is closely monitor the movements of the ninja world and inquire from all directions.

If the demons of the past truly exist, they will surely do evil things, very, very evil things.

"I heard Naruto and the others are back from their mission, let's go see him!"

……

The Hokage's office.

The spacious Hokage's office features a large mahogany desk piled high with various mission files and scrolls.

Tsunade's sake bottle sits in the corner, a map of the village is posted on the wall, and five Hokage Rocks can be seen from the window.

Tsunade leaned lazily against the chair, looking tired.

Dressed in simple black attire, Jingyin stood at the table, carefully organizing the mountain of official documents.

Yamato, as the captain of Naruto's team, reports the mission to Tsunade.

Naruto was among them, and after two days of travel, his injuries had healed.

Although Tsunade is carefree, she becomes very serious when it comes to work. She was checking Naruto and the others' mission logs while listening to Yamato's report.

"At that time, the centipede devoured the Fourth Hokage's seal on the dragon vein, releasing the underground dragon vein."

"Naruto and I were both caught up in the Dragon Vein, but strangely, the Dragon Vein was quickly resealed, and Naruto and I didn't experience any abnormalities."

Tsunade was somewhat puzzled: "According to what you said, the centipede was eliminated because of the attack from the dragon vein, but you two were also drawn into the dragon vein, so how come you weren't attacked?"

Yamato shook his head: "We don't know about that."

Tsunade asked, "Is there anything unusual about you?"

Yamato scratched his head: "Naruto and I both feel like we've had a long nap, like we went through something, but we've forgotten about it!"

"I request the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan to examine our brains."

There was a strong sense of incongruity between Yamato and Naruto. As a member of the Anbu, Yamato felt that this matter was not simple and wanted to request further investigation.

Tsunade shook her head: "There's no need. Yamanaka clan ninjas usually examine other people's brains to examine enemies or the dead."

"Ninjutsu that probes someone's brain will damage it. I think we should call it a day for capturing the rogue ninja, Centipede!"

Tsunade gave a definitive answer to Naruto's team's mission to Roran, not wanting to waste any more time on the rogue ninja, Hyakujutsu.

The main conflict right now is with the Akatsuki organization, whose indiscriminate capture of tailed beasts from various ninja villages has aroused the fear of all forces in the ninja world.

There's also Uchiha Sasuke, who recently killed Orochimaru and is now seeking revenge on Uchiha Itachi for the massacre of his clan.

A mere traitorous centipede is not worth wasting any more energy dealing with.

Tsunade noted down the points of doubt that Yamato had raised in Yamato's mission report and then announced the end of their mission.

"Lord Hokage..."

Yamato raised his hand as if to say something, still instinctively feeling that he had lost a very important memory in his brain.

Tsunade waved her hand: "That's enough! Yamato, there's no need to pay too much attention to a rogue ninja from Sunagakure. Your next mission is—"

Tsunade looked at Naruto and Sakura, especially Naruto, who kept staring at her chest and was almost drooling.

"Baka yarou!"

Sakura clenched her fist and punched Naruto on the head, making his head smoke.

What's wrong with this bastard?

Although she admitted that Tsunade's voluptuous figure always attracted the attention of any man, she should at least keep her eyes to herself in this situation!

Naruto lay on the ground, clutching his head tightly: "Sakura, what are you doing?"

Sakura grabbed Naruto's collar: "You better behave yourself and stop looking around!"

Tsunade chuckled softly and puffed out her cheeks with a touch of pride.

It seems Naruto's sexual function has matured and he's starting to get restless!

Tsunade said to Naruto and Sakura, "Naruto, Sakura, your next mission is to find Sasuke!"

Sakura immediately focused her attention when Sasuke was mentioned.

Naruto also got serious.

"Grandma Tsunade, is there any news about Sasuke?"

Tsunade nodded: "According to intelligence gathered by the Anbu, Sasuke has killed Orochimaru and broken free from Orochimaru's control!"

Naruto exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Sasuke's body is saved! Where is he now?"

Sakura also had a happy expression on her face.

Tsunade said, "After Sasuke got rid of Orochimaru, he inquired about Itachi Uchiha everywhere. He wanted to find Itachi Uchiha and take revenge."

Naruto stood up, worriedly saying, "Itachi is from Akatsuki. How can Sasuke handle him alone? We must bring Sasuke back quickly!"

Tsunade nodded: "I know. This time I want Kakashi to lead the team, your team, plus Kiba's team, to go and retrieve Sasuke."

Tsunade was speaking.

Koharu and Homura pushed open the door to the Hokage's office and immediately stopped Tsunade.

"Tsunade, we disagree with you letting Naruto continue going out on missions!"

Tsunade frowned. Only after becoming Hokage did Tsunade realize how difficult it was for her teacher, the Third Hokage.

The Hokage is elected, not someone who can do whatever they want.

Power is subject to checks and balances, especially for a village chief like the Hokage who is elected.

Why?
