Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 357 Crushing Madara Uchiha's Plot Plan

What!

Can tailed beasts really be cultivated?

When Tsunade and the others heard Kirito suddenly throw cold water on their opinions, everyone except the well-informed Slug Sage was taken aback and looked at Kirito with suspicion.

The saying goes, "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving."

Kirito decided to convince the others with facts, saying, "If you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves. Grab me!"

Chizuru grabbed Kirito's right hand first, followed closely by Tsunade, who grabbed Kirito's other hand. The others also grabbed Kirito's body.

With both hands held, Kirito had no choice but to go through the trouble of using the Flying Thunder God Technique without a seal.

The next moment, Kirito led everyone into a room in the huge laboratory he had built in the basement of the orphanage.

Here, there is only a huge cylindrical glass container filled with a large amount of blue solution, in which a huge red tail is immersed.

The entire cylindrical glass container emanated a powerful chakra wave, and its tail would occasionally emit a red chakra wave. It seemed to be alive, constantly devouring the blue solution in the container to grow stronger.

"The Nine-Tails' tail!"

Tsunade saw the red tail inside the cylindrical glass container and immediately burst out of her mouth.

She was extremely familiar with the aura of the Nine-Tails' chakra; she had sensed it countless times from her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki.

Therefore, she immediately realized that the red tail in the cylindrical glass container in front of her was the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"It is indeed the Nine-Tails' chakra. So, this tail is the materialized form of the Nine-Tails' chakra. I didn't expect Kirito to be right. Tailed beasts really can be artificially cultivated."

Senju Momoka quickly recognized the true nature of the red tail in the container and exclaimed in surprise.

With Tsunade and Momoka Senju personally endorsing it, Chizuru Uchiha, Kazuma Hyuga, and Torifu Akimichi naturally believed it.

In fact, they had already recognized the red tail.

After all, they had all witnessed the Nine-Tails firsthand, and their impression of the Nine-Tails' nine tails was extremely deep. Although the tails in the container in front of them were not as huge as the Nine-Tails' tails, they looked very similar.

No, it's practically the same as a smaller version.

"You guys believe this kid? Madara Uchiha doesn't actually need to collect all the tailed beasts. He can raise one tailed beast. He just needs to obtain a portion of the tailed beast's chakra and then raise it."

As far as I know, the condition for the Ten-Tails to be revived is to absorb the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, not necessarily the chakra of all the tailed beasts. That is to say, Madara Uchiha could have taken advantage of this loophole and used a trick to revive the Ten-Tails.

Of course, this method will definitely weaken the Ten-Tails' power, but even so, the Ten-Tails, with all four tailed beasts gathered, is still incredibly powerful. If Madara Uchiha were to obtain this power, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Kirito glanced at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, knowing that they had all accepted the fact that tailed beasts could be artificially cultivated, and said with a serious expression.

"Kirito, does Madara Uchiha know that tailed beasts can be artificially bred?"

Tsunade had regained her composure and raised a question that everyone was very concerned about.

"Sister, it's best not to have any wishful thinking about matters concerning the life and death of Konoha. Madara Uchiha has definitely been planning for a long time to revive the Ten-Tails. His understanding of the Tailed Beasts might be even deeper than ours. You know, he was once the master of the Nine-Tails, and now he has obtained the body of the Ten-Tails, the Gedo Mazo. Do you dare to bet that he doesn't know that Tailed Beasts can be artificially cultivated?"

Kirito countered with a question.

Tsunade fell silent, and so did everyone else.

Yes, it concerns the life and death of Konoha, and even the future of the entire ninja world. They absolutely cannot afford to take any chances and must prepare for the worst.

Instead of hoping the enemy is unaware, it's better to prepare a foolproof plan early on and respond to any changes with constancy.

"Kirito, tell me what we should do next. We in Konoha absolutely cannot allow Uchiha Madara to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

Senju Momoka suppressed her surprise and said with a heavy heart.

Everyone thought that with Kirito protecting the One-Tailed Beast, Madara Uchiha would never be able to revive the Ten-Tailed Beast in his lifetime. But then, the fact that a tailed beast could be artificially cultivated was revealed.

It's like going from heaven to hell in an instant.

"Lady Momoka is right. We in Konoha absolutely cannot let Madara Uchiha's plot succeed."

Tsunade then stepped forward to express her opinion.

The others nodded to Kirito, indicating that they all agreed.

"As things stand, Madara Uchiha has successfully captured the Two-Tails, Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Six-Tails. The Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Six-Tails were captured recently, so he is probably currently working on having the Ten-Tails absorb these three tailed beasts and is temporarily unable to act."

The three tailed beasts certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch themselves be absorbed by the Ten-Tails; they would definitely put up a fierce resistance. In order for the Ten-Tails to successfully absorb the three tailed beasts, Madara Uchiha would definitely sit by the Ten-Tails' side to keep watch.

Therefore, now is a good opportunity for us to eliminate Uchiha Madara, but the prerequisite is that we need to find him first.

Seeing that everyone was determined to deal with Uchiha Madara and was willing to take risks for it, Kirito slowly began to express his own opinion.

"That makes a lot of sense. Now is indeed a good time to eliminate Uchiha Madara. If we can successfully interrupt his process of letting the Ten-Tails absorb the three tailed beasts, we will definitely make him suffer a great loss, and he may even die from the backlash."

Chizuru said coldly, a look of eager anticipation appearing on her face.

She finally decided to fight Uchiha Madara. Although it was inevitable, she knew that a large part of Konoha was cowardly and always wanted to resolve things through non-combat means, even fantasizing about negotiating with Uchiha Madara.

And among these cowards who fear death, there may well be some among those present.

Now, the pressure from Madara Uchiha has suddenly piled up, forcing these people to prepare for the worst and fight Madara Uchiha to the death with all their might.

"The idea is good, but the problem is where is Madara Uchiha hiding now? This guy faked his death for decades without being discovered by the world, which undoubtedly shows that his ability to hide is terrifying. It will probably not be easy for us to find him in a short time."

"I am calm and experienced," said Akimichi Torifu with a stern face.

"There is still a way. Not long ago, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure sent an invitation to the Five Kage Summit to Konoha. Since Kirigakure has been destroyed, the remaining seats will be temporarily taken over by Amegakure. At that time, I will reveal Madara Uchiha's conspiracy at the summit."

By then, I believe the other ninja villages will cooperate with us to search for Uchiha Madara. By combining the strength of the five strongest ninja villages in the ninja world, even if Uchiha Madara is a rat in the gutter, he won't be able to hide for long.

Tsunade paused for a moment before offering her solution.

This solution was a revelation to everyone, and Momoka smiled with satisfaction, very pleased with Tsunade's growth as Hokage.

That's right, fighting against Madara Uchiha is not just Konoha's responsibility; other ninja villages should also join in.

Madara Uchiha resurrected the Ten-Tails and activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to dominate the ninja world, which undoubtedly made him an enemy of the entire ninja world.

"Sister's suggestion is great, it's definitely worth a try. But I have another plan. If we're lucky, we might be able to find Uchiha Madara right away."

Kirito said with a smile.

"What plan? Tell me quickly."

Tsunade urged.

Preventing Madara Uchiha from absorbing the three tailed beasts as quickly as possible is of course the better. She is now very curious about what method Kirito has to quickly find Madara Uchiha.

"Seven-Tails, doesn't everyone find it strange that while major ninja villages like Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure have all lost their tailed beasts, why hasn't Takigakure announced any tailed beast loss yet? Are they worried that others will find out about their missing tailed beasts?"

Kirito suddenly voiced a question.

Hearing this question, the others couldn't help but feel puzzled as well.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

Yes, all three major ninja villages have experienced the loss of tailed beasts. Why hasn't the small ninja village of Takigakure, whose strength has declined significantly, experienced the same thing?

While it cannot be ruled out that they are worried that the loss of the Tailed Beasts will weaken their own strength and affect their international standing, such a major event as the loss of the Tailed Beasts will eventually be exposed.

There's something wrong with Takigakure Village!

For a moment, Tsunade and the others all had this realization.

"Kirito, you don't mean to say that Madara Uchiha is hiding in Takigakure, do you?"

Chizuru said with a hint of hesitation.

"It's not out of the question. Madara Uchiha has White Zetsu, a strange creature that can impersonate others, by his side. And he himself is the top genjutsu master in the ninja world. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to control the entire Takigakure without anyone noticing."

Kirito nodded.

Because of him, the original storyline has deviated too much, and as far as he knows, after Danzo led the old Root to leave Konoha, the place where they settled down was in the Land of Waterfall.

Madara Uchiha clearly seized the legacy of Danzo's former Root organization, so his current stronghold might really be in Takigakure.

After all, Takigakure has the Seven-Tails he wants to seize, and Takigakure itself is a very good protective shield, providing him with excellent concealment when he hides within it.

"No matter what, Takigakure is indeed worth paying attention to now. The Seven-Tails' chakra is second only to the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails among the nine tailed beasts. Madara Uchiha will definitely not let it go, and with Takigakure's current strength, it is absolutely impossible for them to protect the Seven-Tails."

Given what Madara Uchiha did in Kirigakure, I believe Takigakure is in grave danger. To prevent the Seven-Tails from falling into Madara's hands and out of humanitarian concern to avoid a tragedy like that of Kirigakure, I believe it is Konoha's duty to help Takigakure protect the Seven-Tails.

Thousand Hands Peach Blossom said this.

With just a few simple words, she had already made a decision for Takikage.

When Tsunade heard her say this, she wanted to refute it, but she found that everyone's eyes were on her, and all of them were serious and resolute.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade sighed inwardly.

While Momoka's words were eloquent, they essentially revealed Konoha's domineering behavior.

This hypocritical act of extortion really disgusted her.

However, things have come to this point, and she really can't afford to deal with things slowly anymore. She has to act decisively, otherwise, if she really gets into a fight with Takikage's people, she doesn't know when she'll be able to see the Seven-Tails again.

"I understand. I will send someone to Takigakure to investigate the situation and request that they protect the Seven-Tails."

Tsunade made a compromise.

Seeing this, Momoka breathed a huge sigh of relief. She was genuinely worried that Tsunade would suddenly throw a tantrum and ruin everything. Fortunately, the heir of the Senju clan had finally grown up and begun to understand the art of compromise.

Life is full of disappointments. If you don't know how to compromise appropriately, you're destined to go nowhere in life.

"Sister, the Five Kage Summit must be held as soon as possible. Madara Uchiha's time to seal the Tailed Beasts will definitely not be too long. While he is temporarily unable to send out enough forces to disrupt the meeting, you must quickly reach a consensus with the leaders of the other ninja villages."

Once Tsunade made her compromise, Kirito immediately brought up the Five Kage Summit.

"This is probably not going to be easy; Iwagakure and Sunagakure are still at war."

Hinata Kazuma suddenly interjected.

"Hmph, then let's hurry up and help them end the war. Also, Sunagakure may be cooperating with Uchiha Madara. If Sunagakure keeps hindering the Five Kage Summit, then we can use this to confirm that it's true."

Chizuru said menacingly.

She is now extremely eager to kill Uchiha Madara as soon as possible, and she will not hesitate to crush anyone or anything that gets in her way.

Moreover, in her view, Sunagakure is now nothing but a fallen village, and she alone has the ability to wipe out Sunagakure without leaving a single survivor. What puppet army? That's nothing more than something that can only affect low-level battles.

"Sunagakure is indeed very suspicious. The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Akazawa, is extremely hostile to Konoha. Before leading Sunagakure into conflict with Iwagakure, he wiped out the pro-Konoha faction that Konoha had painstakingly developed in Sunagakure and killed a group of our spies. It's not surprising that he is said to be colluding with Uchiha Madara."

"I am also filled with murderous intent," said Senju Momoka, who was in charge of the intelligence department.

She has never been ruthless towards enemies. The reason she didn't destroy Sunagakure before was because she was worried that doing so would cause other major ninja villages to unite against Konoha. But now the strength of other major ninja villages has declined drastically, Kirigakure has been completely wiped out, and with Madara Uchiha, the public enemy of the ninja world, standing in front of them, Konoha no longer needs to worry about the consequences of destroying Sunagakure.

To be honest, the appearance of the Sand Village puppet army gave her a glimpse of the Sand Village's revival. If the Sand Village vigorously develops its puppet army and trains puppeteers, then the Sand Village will sooner or later become a major threat to Konoha.

Konoha should take advantage of the fact that Sunagakure and Madara Uchiha are accomplices to eliminate them.
