Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Shikigami no Mai is Konan's unique paper-escape technique. After casting it, she can turn herself into a piece of paper, making her immune to physical attacks.

Its weakness is that it is susceptible to oil; once the paper is soaked in oil, the technique cannot be performed.

Neither Amegakure nor Root had any ninjas who knew oil-based ninjutsu; only Jiraiya's ninjutsu involved oil.

With this trick up her sleeve, Xiao Nan felt much more at ease and focused her attention on Shui Men.

As for the other Akatsuki members facing Hanzo and Danzo, as well as the Amegakure Anbu and Root, good luck to them.

Liao Wu might not even be able to stop Minato, so it's already more than enough that he managed to stop Minato, the strongest among them.

Liao Wu let the snow leopard and candy jump off his shoulders to help Xiao's people fight off the enemy.

"Xiao Nan, be careful!"

Xiao Nan nodded: "You should be careful too."

Liao Wu nodded.

A pair of white wings then sprouted from Konan's back, and she flew into the air like an angel. She flew to the hilltop and went with Nagato to rescue Yahiko.

Liao Wu activated his Sharingan and met Minato's azure eyes.

Kakashi, Kurenai, and Rin all dared not look into Liao Wu's eyes.

Water gates, however, can be seen directly.

Liao Wu used the illusion tree binding technique copied from Hong, but Minato on the other side showed no signs of being controlled by the illusion.

There are two ways to break an illusion: one is through external force, and the other is by breaking it yourself.

He realized he was in a genjutsu, and then formed hand seals to disrupt his chakra flow in order to break free.

Such people are usually ninjas who are talented in genjutsu and have excellent chakra control.

A master can even deflect illusions back.

Minato is not a genjutsu-type ninja, but his ninja stats are at the Kage level. He relied solely on his own mental energy to withstand Liao Wu's genjutsu.

Then disrupt your own chakra flow.

To deal with an elite ninja like Minato, the genjutsu released by the three-tomoe Sharingan won't work; you need the Mangekyou Sharingan to control him.

Liao Wu then looked behind the water gate in surprise and said, "Ancestor, why are you here? These lackeys don't need your help at all!"

Minato was immediately drenched in sweat. His worst fears had come true: Madara Uchiha had arrived!

Minato looked back, but saw nothing.

Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Liao Wu spewed out three fire dragons, the intense heat evaporating the rain falling from the sky, and the fire dragons roared as they rushed toward the water gate.

Minato activated his Body Flicker Technique, taking Kakashi and the other two away from the range of Liao Wu's fire dragon.

He said to Kakashi and the other two, "You three be careful, and find an opportunity to rescue Obito."

"yes!"

Kakashi nodded.

Minato immediately picked up a kunai and attacked in the direction of Ryougo.

Minato rushed over like a yellow flash, and the Akatsuki members couldn't even see his shadow.

Only then did they understand why Minato was called the Yellow Flash of Konoha.

Because of his speed, it was like a flash of light.

Liao Wu was able to see Minato's movements only after activating his three-tomoe Sharingan.

The water gate opened quickly.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

Liao Wu concentrated all his chakra in his feet and slammed it down towards the direction from which Minato was attacking.

In the critical moment, Minato quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

Rumbling--

The ground was smashed to pieces by Liao Wu's massive foot, and within a 10-meter radius of him, a large crater was created, as if struck by a meteorite.

The Akatsuki and Root members all stayed far away, leaving the battlefield to Minato and Ryougo to avoid being caught in their crossfire.

"A yellow flash?!"

Hanzo had never met Minato before and was unaware that Danzo had also summoned Minato to attack Akatsuki.

He sensed something was wrong and assumed that Danzo and Minato had come specifically to eliminate Uchiha Ryougo and thwart the Land of Rain's dream of becoming a great power.

"Amegakure ninjas, go protect the Uchiha!"

Danzo suddenly stopped Hanzo: "Hanzo, wait! We are not enemies."

"Pooh!"

Hanzo berated Danzo: "Danzo, you even summoned the Yellow Flash! Is this the setup for dealing with Akatsuki? I even suspect you're here to specifically behead me."

"..."

Danzo remained silent.

Listening to Hanzo and Danzo's conversation, Yahiko realized that the people of Konoha had come for Nagato's Rinnegan.

Hanzo was kept in the dark, believing that the people of Konoha had come to eliminate Ryogoku.

He sneered, "Hanzo, you're pathetic. You've been kept in the dark all this time."

"What did you say?"

Hanzo stared coldly at Yahiko, his gaze as if a cold knife were tearing Yahiko to pieces.

Yahiko sneered, "You call yourself the leader of Amegakure, yet you don't even know what Akatsuki's most precious possession is?"

Hanzo wondered, "Isn't Akatsuki's most precious possession Ryou's medical ninjutsu and the forbidden technique for immortality?"

What other tricks can they come up with?

Hanzo turned his head and stared intently at Nagato's direction.

At this moment, Nagato was being entangled by the Amegakure Anbu, who were using poison and various assassination techniques.

Nagato's Rinnegan had just erupted, but because Ryougo had messed things up again, the power of his Rinnegan stopped boiling, making it quite difficult to deal with Amegakure's assassination techniques.

Nagato's techniques are too strange; he can release ninjutsu without hand seals, just like how the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can cast genjutsu without hand seals.

Moreover, Hanzo had never seen such a technique involving repulsion and attraction before.

Is this still ninjutsu?

Hanzo had a guess in his mind: "Could it be?"

Yahiko nodded: "Not bad—"

Danzo rushed over and interrupted Yahiko: "Hanzo, what are you dawdling about? Hand Yahiko over to me."

Danzo couldn't capture Konan. If he had known Nagato was so sentimental, he wouldn't have let Ryoma hand Yahiko over to Hanzo.

He threatened Yahiko and said he could make Nagato hand over the Rinnegan.

Yahiko exclaimed, "Nagato's eyes are the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths!"

"What?! The Rinnegan?!"

Hanzo was shocked: "Rinnegan, so it's the Rinnegan! No wonder he has such strange ninjutsu?"

"No wonder Danzo summoned Minato Namikaze so hastily!"

The value of the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan is clearly greater than that of Liao Wu.

Legend has it that the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan is the eye that controls the cycle of life and death. What use would it be for Hanzo to obtain Ryogoku's immortality technique?

Immortality without power will one day be slain.

If Hanzo could obtain the Rinnegan, he might be able to unify the ninja world.

Danzo rushed forward, intending to snatch Yahiko away to threaten Nagato.

"Danzo, get out of my way!"

After learning the importance of the Rinnegan, Hanzo broke off relations with Danzo and took out his chain scythe to cut off Danzo's hand.

Danzo quickly retreated, but his worst fears came true: Hanzo would turn against him because of the Rinnegan.

Hanzo grabbed Yahiko by the neck and threatened Nagato loudly: "Nagato, hand over your Rinnegan to me, or I'll kill Yahiko."
