Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Rain-Hidden Village.

Ryoma Aburame relayed the information that Kakashi and Rin had revealed to Danzo.

Danzo was immediately shocked: "What?! The Rinnegan?"

There were so many shocking things today, from Uchiha Madara to the Rinnegan.

If this happens a few more times, Danzo will be impregnated.

Danzo stared intently at Kakashi and Rin, unleashing a dark and gloomy aura upon them.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Kakashi finally realized what a stupid thing he had done. He wanted to slap his own mouth for saying all that.

Unlike Rin, Kakashi is a Jonin. Although he hasn't been a Jonin for long, a Jonin is a Jonin, a backbone of the village, and is qualified to participate in important village meetings.

He knew that there was a mysterious Root organization within the Anbu, personally commanded by Danzo Shimura, who was assisted by the Hokage.

Root originally complemented Anbu, serving as Anbu's training department. However, with the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, Root's power grew, and it became increasingly independent.

Root gradually began to obey only Danzo's orders, and he would stop at nothing to carry out his missions.

Although it is said that the old and young should not be killed, the elderly are considered young and children are considered old.

Chop an earthworm vertically, shake an egg until the yolk turns out.

Danzo was a good assistant to the Hokage, but his relationship with the Third Hokage was both cooperative and adversarial, making him an extremely contradictory person.

Now that he knows about Nagato's Rinnegan, he might take drastic measures that could affect Minato-sensei's mission.

Danzo's aura was like that of a dark demon, making Rin feel breathless, and she couldn't help but speak out her fear.

"Elder Danzo, we—"

Kakashi grabbed Rin's arm, stopping her from speaking.

Danzo stared at Kakashi with a dark expression: "Kakashi, is it possible that even I can't know about your mission?"

Kakashi wanted to explain something.

Suddenly, a yellow shadow appeared in front of them; it was Minato, dressed in red.

"Minato-sensei!"

"red!"

Kakashi and Rin were overjoyed, but they couldn't help feeling disappointed because Obito wasn't there.

Danzo and Ryoma Aburame immediately noticed the signs of battle on Minato's body and the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Minato is injured! The Yellow Flash of Konoha! A top-tier ninja who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique is injured?

Danzo's mood suddenly soured.

"Minato, what kind of enemy did you encounter?"

Now that things have come to this, it's no longer time to keep it a secret.

Nagato's previous attack on Minato had already proven that their negotiations had broken down.

The Akatsuki members did not believe that Nagato's Rinnegan belonged to Madara Uchiha.

Minato's statement is only one side of the story; there is no clear evidence to prove that Nagato's Rinnegan belonged to Madara Uchiha.

Perhaps Nagato was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, and that he awakened the Rinnegan.

Madara Uchiha knew that the Rinnegan was on Nagato and sent Ryoubu to steal it.

Regardless, Madara Uchiha had his eye on Nagato's Rinnegan, and Konoha would never allow Madara Uchiha to obtain the Rinnegan.

However, Akira did not believe Minato, even though Minato was Nagato's nominal senior brother.

If you don't even offer a cigarette when we meet, who would consider you a senior brother?

If Minato wants to gain the trust of Nagato and the other two, he must ask Jiraiya for help. Only Jiraiya is a Konoha ninja that Nagato and the other two can truly trust.

However, Jiraiya was recuperating at Mount Myōboku and couldn't spare the time.

Liao Wu could seize Nagato's Rinnegan at any moment, leaving Minato little time to return to Konoha for reinforcements.

It must be supported by the strength of the roots.

"Elder Danzo, it's a Rinnegan eye technique..."

If he could, Minato really didn't want to cooperate with Danzo.

Danzo's ideology was too extreme, and his methods were too cruel.

That's not the behavior of a proper ninja.

Minato wanted to return to Konoha to gather reinforcements, but Konoha's army was currently undergoing reorganization, and it would take time for them to reach the Land of Rain.

Minato can only cooperate with Danzo.

It's better for Danzo to get the Rinnegan than for Madara Uchiha to get it.

Minato told Danzo about his previous experience at Akatsuki.

Danzo listened attentively; Minato wasn't driven away.

Rather, it was because they were constrained by multiple parties and had to abandon the mission and retreat.

On one hand, Uchiha Ryougo was hiding in the shadows, ready to launch a sneak attack on him at any moment.

On the other hand, the members of Akatsuki rushed up. They were all innocent people who had been led astray by Liao Wu, and Minato would not harm them.

Besides, Minato also has Kurenai Yuhi as a burden by his side.

Danzo frowned as he listened, thinking to himself that Minato was too old-fashioned; what if he had captured the Akatsuki members instead?

Capture ten or eight of them and force Nagato to hand over the Rinnegan. If he doesn't, kill him.

Sarutobi's disciples and followers had all been corrupted by their peaceful and comfortable lives, and only Orochimaru was to his liking.

Orochimaru was killed by Madara Uchiha.

Unfortunately, he could only swallow his losses and accept the fate of Konoha's team with tears in his eyes.

After Minato finished speaking, the problem facing Danzo and Minato was how to persuade Nagato to go to Konoha.

No, this is just a problem with Watergate.

Danzo's problem was how to seize Nagato's Rinnegan.

Danzo touched the bandage around his right eye.

Danzo wasn't actually blind; his right eye was transplanted from the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. As for how he got it, he found it on the ground, of course.

Danzo knew it, and the Hyuga clan knew it too; everyone was a master of feigning ignorance.

How could the Sharingan compare to the Rinnegan? Those are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, said to control the power of life and death, the cycle of reincarnation.

Minato was sent flying by the Rinnegan's eye technique in just one exchange; only eyes like that could deal with Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Danzo suddenly realized: "Minato, you said Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan are Jiraiya's students?"

Minato nodded.

Danzo's face darkened: "No wonder Jiraiya stayed in the Land of Rain after the war; he discovered the Rinnegan."

"He kept such important information hidden. Is he even still a Konoha ninja?"

Minato defended his teacher's reputation: "Elder Danzo, Jiraiya-sensei will always be a Konoha ninja, but Nagato is the prophesied child spoken of by the Great Toad Sage."

"The prophetic child is of great importance; we cannot allow the power of major nations to interfere with his future."

Danzo roared at Minato, "So what if you're the Great Toad Sage? So what if you're from Mount Myōboku? Where did you learn your Will of Fire?"

"Don't you know that the village's interests come first?"

"What if one day, that Nagato becomes a ninja of Amegakure and invades Konoha?"

"Who will be responsible then? Will you be responsible? Or will Jiraiya be responsible?"

"..."

Minato remained silent, simply standing there as punishment.

Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai were also disciplined by Danzo along with Minato.

This is all the fault of Mount Myoboku.

"Ninjas cannot be controlled by their summoned beasts; they are nothing but a bunch of beasts."

"While the three sacred sites of Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave have brought great help to Konoha, they have also been constantly influencing the village's politics."

"From now on, the village should set up a psychic training class, and the summoned beasts should also learn the Will of Fire."

"If the Great Toad Sage doesn't learn the Will of Fire, then his prophecies are nothing but falsehoods and misleading the public."

The liaison toad in the water gate couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to jump out and point at this old codger's nose to curse him.

The Great Toad Sage is an elder who taught the Sage of Six Paths the Sage of Immortality. How could this old geezer describe him as a beast?

You're the beast, your whole family are beasts.

Minato held the communication toad firmly. At this moment, it's best to avoid conflict and just hold back!

"If the Slug Sage doesn't learn the Will of Fire, then its healing is just practicing medicine without a license."
