Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Not again?!

After smashing a patch of muddy ground with a single punch, Liao Wu couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Okay, okay, is that how you play? I'll play too!

Liao Wu moved swiftly, instantly disappearing and grabbing a Root ninja, unleashing his Lightning Blade aimed at his head.

Liao Wu shouted at Minato, "Minato, don't think you're the only ones who would do this. Look closely, these are Konoha ninjas, your own people from your village."

"His life or death is now in my hands. You must turn around and leave this country immediately, or I will kill him."

"..."

Minato was stunned when he saw the Konoha ninja being captured by Liaowu.

Although the members of Root are mission machines who kill without blinking an eye, the fact that he wears the Konoha headband makes him a Konoha ninja.

Everyone in the village chanted the Will of Fire, protecting their comrades and the village.

But when it really comes down to it, most people still prioritize their own interests and choose the side that benefits them.

Minato could not leave the Land of Rain to allow either Ryoubu or Madara Uchiha to obtain the Rinnegan.

But this would mean abandoning one's fellow villagers.

He could have countless reasons to convince himself.

For example, the Rinnegan is more important, the mission is more important, and we must never let Madara Uchiha obtain the Rinnegan.

The Root ninjas always wore masks, and Minato had never even seen his true face. Such people were Danzo's loyal followers and could be abandoned by Danzo at any time.

But abandoning a comrade is abandoning a comrade, and even if Minato becomes Hokage, he will still feel guilty about what happened today.

But the Hokage is not a pure and innocent person; he is someone who can withstand darkness, and he will always make the best choice in the most unfavorable circumstances.

"Sorry, Root ninja."

Minato looked at the Root ninja in Ryou's hands with a guilty expression.

Liao Wu chuckled: "If I had Kushina or Minato in my hands, would you still be saying that?"

"..."

Minato fell silent. He suddenly realized his own heart had been opened, and he realized that he was also a selfish person.

He couldn't help but feel ashamed of it.

Those below chose to give up, but those above would never give up even if it happened ten thousand more times.

Nagato touched his eyes, this time even more decisively than before.

The Rinnegan did give Nagato immense power, but it ultimately couldn't compare to the bonds he formed with his comrades!

If you can't even protect your most precious comrades, how can you talk about breaking the curse of the ninja world?

Xiao Nan looked on in extreme pain.

They are too naive and too inexperienced.

They thought the world could be set ablaze and people's hearts could be awakened, but in reality, the world was occupied by a group of cold monsters whose mouths were full of human blood.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from the ground. It was Liao Wu's hidden clone, who grabbed Hanzang's leg and unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning.

Hanzo cried out in pain from the electric shock and couldn't help but release Yahiko.

Nagato was overjoyed and unleashed the Universal Pull on Yahiko, who quickly moved towards Nagato's direction.

Things seemed to be heading towards a happy ending, with Nagato and Konan on the verge of rescuing Yahiko.

At the critical moment—

Ryoma Aburame made his move, transforming into a swarm of insects to block Yahiko's path.

Danzo laughed loudly: "That's it, Gu. Now it's my turn to control Yahiko."

But Danzo suddenly stopped laughing, because Yahiko held the explosive tag in his palm and formed a hand seal with his other hand.

Yahiko gave Nagato and Konan a bright smile, just like when they first met.

"Nagato, you must protect Konan well!"

"No--"

Boom—

A burst of intense flames erupted from Yahiko's body, blasting him to pieces.

Nagato froze on the spot, his hand still in the hand gesture of releasing the Universal Pull.

This time it's no joke. Yahiko is not Liaowu. He doesn't have his forbidden techniques, nor is he as resilient to death as he is.

Yahiko only has one life.

Yahiko died, in front of Nagato and Konan, in the flames, and because of his naivety.

The next moment, the Rinnegan was fully unleashed!

A powerful aura erupted from Nagato's pupils, and shockwaves resembling the Shinra Tensei rippled outwards from him.

One by one, the members of the Rain Shadow's ANBU took to the sky.

Nagato unleashed a roar that sent pain through the world: "Summoning—Gedo Mazo!"

Konan tried her best to stop him: "Nagato, you can't use this move."

Once the Gedo Mazo is summoned, it will drain Nagato's life force.

This grand commotion attracted everyone's attention.

Minato gripped his kunai tightly, gazing sadly at the hills above: "Yahiko is dead!"

Minato agrees with Yahiko's idea of ​​peace, arguing that without Madara Uchiha, there would be no Rinnegan.

Maybe they'll sit down, make a cup of tea, and talk about peace and how to break the curse on the ninja world.

But that's just how the world is; life is full of disappointments and unbelievable things.

Who knows, one day, Minato might die at the hands of his own student.

Liao Wu also turned to look at Nagato's Rinnegan power, which was so powerful that it was visible to the naked eye. At this moment, Liao Wu was no match for Nagato.

He looked at Yahiko's body, which had been blown to pieces, and at that moment, Konan was holding Yahiko's corpse and crying bitterly.

Liao Wu felt extremely distressed. He sighed, "Yi Yan, in the end, he still couldn't escape this calamity."

Taking advantage of Liao Wu's momentary lapse in vigilance, the Root ninja in his hand suddenly made a move, detonating the explosive tags all over its body.

"Lord Minato, I am very grateful that you took a few extra glances at someone like me. I am already very grateful to be cared for by someone as important as you."

Amidst the flames of the explosion, the Root ninja removed his mask.

Liao Wu and Shui Men's pupils both contracted.

Beneath the cold mask was the face of a young woman, quite pretty, who looked at Minato with a gentle smile.

That was probably the first time she smiled since joining the Root!

Rumbling--

The Roots have no names, no emotions. They have no past, no future, only a mission in their hearts.

But how can a human being be without feelings?

Perhaps that female ninja from Root was a classmate of Minato's in the past, secretly thinking of Minato, because Minato felt no regret that he could spend a few more seconds with someone like her.

Perhaps she had always been in hell, and it was Minato's struggle with his choices that allowed her to grasp a ray of light, a ray of light that allowed her to escape from hell.

Minato's azure eyes reflected the light of the explosion, and a hint of tears welled up as he said remorsefully, "But I had already given up on her."

Yes, Minato has already given up on her. Was it because of his hesitation when making the decision?

All she needed was this tiny bit of attention.

After the smoke from the explosion cleared, Liao Wu crawled out of the ground and cried loudly.

"Girl, if you take off your mask sooner, I won't arrest you."

Liao Wu didn't cry when Yahiko died, but he cried like a child when this unrelated, beautiful woman died.

When Liao Wu was at Konoha Hospital, he didn't know most of the Jonin who had made outstanding contributions to the village.

He was familiar with all the female nurses who were even slightly attractive, and he could even call out the nicknames of the female nurses who had just started their internships at the hospital.

This comrade's most notable characteristic is his fondness for looking at beautiful women.

Minato, holding the Flying Thunder God kunai, looked at Ryo Wu with a serious expression: "Uchiha Ryo Wu, I will kill you today."

Liao Wu squeezed out his fake tears: "Minato, I won't kill you, but I'll take away everything you love most."

"Your village, your companions, your...Kushina!"

Minato bit his finger, slamming it into the ground: "Summoning Jutsu!"

Liao Wu also bit his finger and pressed it to the ground to activate his spiritual communication.

But even more violent than theirs was Nagato's summoning technique, which summoned—the Gedo Mazo!
