It's just that the attackers weren't that strong.

The five hidden villages are currently in the open, but the Akatsuki organization is operating in the shadows, putting them in a very passive position.

If the experts sent next time are even more powerful.

The remaining hidden villages were utterly powerless to resist.

Frowning, looking at the solemn expressions of everyone in the room, Xuan Ye said, "Perhaps we should move all four hidden villages, or any other villages that are willing, to Konoha's sphere of influence, so that we can better manage and protect them."

When Genba's voice fell, everyone in the room was shocked. Shikaku was the first to say, "Making the ninjas and villagers of all the major villages leave their native villages and relocate to the Land of Fire is not only a huge project, but they may not even be willing to do it."

Tsunade frowned and said, "Moreover, with such a large increase in population all at once, even though Konoha is a powerful village with abundant resources, it will not only be difficult to manage all at once, but the food supply alone will also be a major problem."

There were also many Konoha high-ranking officials in the audience who opposed it.

“Everyone’s points are valid.” Gen Ye’s words carried an air of agreement as he continued, “However, the ninja world has been plagued by constant warfare since the Warring States period. The only way to achieve peace is through unification.”

"Unification?" Upon hearing this shocking term, everyone in the room was stunned and looked at each other in disbelief.

Even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, failed to achieve this goal, yet this young man before me proposed it so casually. He certainly has the guts, but isn't this a bit too frivolous?

However, to everyone's surprise, Tsunade, who is usually cautious, was the first to stand up and express her opinion. She looked directly at Genba with piercing eyes and said firmly, "I agree to the Fifth Hokage's plan!"

Over the years, due to the war, his former lover, Kato Dan, and his only younger brother, Nawaki, also died on the battlefield.

Even the First and Second Hokage.

He died young, also because of the war.

All of this had left Tsunade physically and mentally exhausted. Although Genba had proposed this idea, there were many difficulties ahead, but if successful, it could resolve the conflict that had plagued the ninja world for a thousand years. Therefore, Tsunade agreed to the suggestion.

If we don't dare to be pioneers, how can we change this ninja world that is constantly at war? Moreover, we are now facing the Akatsuki organization and the Otsutsuki clan on the moon. Uniting together is the best way to resolve the conflicts!

Seeing that the two highest-ranking officials in the village had agreed to the plan, Shikaku could only broaden the scope of the "unification" plan and try to make the matter as perfect as possible. He said, "Hokage-sama, although we have proposed the unification plan, we do not know what the various hidden villages think. We suggest that we hold a video conference first, inform the Kage of the hidden villages of the situation, and listen to their opinions."

"Shikaku, you truly live up to your reputation as Konoha's chief advisor; your ideas are indeed quite comprehensive." Genba expressed his appreciation for Shikaku, and then continued, "Only by agreeing on this consensus can Konoha move forward more effectively."

Then.

Genye changed the subject, his tone turning cold as he said, "As the saying goes, 'He who listens to advice will eat his fill.' If any village doesn't appreciate our goodwill, then let them fend for themselves. We in Konoha don't have that many ninjas to protect them."

Xiao's movements were unexpected; launching a surprise attack on the four hidden villages would be a piece of cake for him.

After Genye explained things to them with reason, all parties discussed and studied the matter, and by the afternoon, they finally reached a consensus.

As he watched the setting sun, Xuan Ye stretched and loosened his muscles, making crackling sounds all over his body. Staring at his own statue on the Hokage Rock, he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders grow heavier.

Tsunade walked over and said, "It's not too late yet. You can talk to the Kage of the four hidden villages and tell them about the unification. There's no need to waste time."

Shaking his head, Xuan Ye slowly said, "It's time to get off work now. We need to rest, and so do they. We'll hold a video conference tomorrow morning."

Rolling her eyes, Tsunade said, "I didn't expect you to care about them."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I used to be a poor, working-class person." Genye gave a self-deprecating laugh and said something that Tsunade found meaningful.

The next day.

Genye convened a video conference to inform them about the unification of the country. Because the Fourth Raikage, A, was injured by Sasori and is still poisoned, he sent his senior advisor Tsuchida and Raikage's secretary, Mabui, to attend the meeting.

As for the other three villages, they were all his shadows.

After hearing Xuan Ye's plan, everyone fell silent. If it really was "unified", then the village's highest leader would definitely be the most powerful Xuan Ye. It didn't matter, since they were already under someone else's control.

but.

As the villages gradually merge, the status and authority of each leader will be challenged. Moreover, there are more or less hatred between the villages, making it very difficult to get the people below to put aside their past hatred and work together.

Everyone looked solemn and remained silent. After all, this was a major event, and even if they agreed, the various factions in the village might not be willing to agree.

The silence of the crowd also signified their disagreement. Xuan Ye had already anticipated this, so he did not try to persuade them. Instead, he weighed the pros and cons and said, "The final decision is in your hands. I will give you one day."

Xuan Ye suddenly glanced at the leaders of the various villages and said, "There is only one chance. Once you miss it, there will be no more."

Done.

Genye then had the video conference shut down and continued talking, as if Konoha was really going to take advantage of them.

Suddenly.

Through the window, Genye suddenly saw Naruto standing on the Hokage Rock, staring at the statue of the Fourth Hokage.

When he was Hokage, Genba revealed Naruto's true identity to him and announced it to the village, making Naruto the son of a hero and greatly elevating his status and position.

Perhaps because of his recent bad mood, Naruto looked at the statue as if he were seeing his father.

With a slight smile, Xuan Ye arrived at the Hokage Rock a moment later, standing beside Naruto. He smiled gently and said, "Naruto, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."

Naruto asked, "Hokage-sama, I've never met my parents since I was a child. What kind of people are they?"

“I am similar to you; my parents died in the war.” Xuan Ye sighed slightly, then continued, “Your parents were heroes of the village, that’s undeniable, and they would certainly be proud of you.”

"You've grown up now. There's no point in being overly sentimental. Let me take you to Ichiraku Ramen!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xuanye!"

...

Outside of Konoha.

Several members of the Dark Guard lie dead here.

Obito, Orochimaru, Zetsu, Madara Uchiha, and Minato Namikaze appeared here.

Obito said calmly, "Orochimaru, wake up Madara Uchiha. We need his help now."

"Alright!" Orochimaru nodded slightly, then placed a cup of kunai wrapped with purple runes into Madara's head. A wisp of blue smoke rose from Madara's body, and his previously empty eyes brightened.

He suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "I, Uchiha Madara, have finally been resurrected! Ahahaha!"

Chapter 243 The Power of the Rinnegan

"I've finally been resurrected. It seems that brat Nagato has grown up quite smoothly." Having fallen for decades, Madara Uchiha would be lying if he said he wasn't happy about his sudden rebirth.

"Huh, my hands, what's going on?" But when Madara looked at his palms, he seemed to discover something, and his face immediately darkened. He said, "Why wasn't I resurrected by the Rinne Rebirth technique, but by the Impure World Reincarnation?!"

In his eyes, he felt angry because he was imperfect in both body and ability after being resurrected through the "Impure World Reincarnation" technique.

Enraged, Madara turned around and looked at Obito, Orochimaru, and the Fourth Hokage behind him.

"Obito Uchiha, I want you to explain what's going on here?"

The fact that Madara didn't use the more affectionate term "Obito" shows that he was very displeased at that moment.

"Uchiha Obito?" Orochimaru thought to himself. The name sounded familiar, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

It seems to have been during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge in the Third Shinobi World War.

Obito Uchiha, a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, died at the hands of Iwa ninja. Obito then gave one of his Sharingan eyes to Kakashi, which caused a huge uproar in Konoha. That's why Orochimaru remembered this event relatively clearly.

However, Orochimaru was utterly baffled as to why this young Uchiha would do so many perverse things. It was truly an eye-opener for him, and he couldn't help but chuckle strangely.

Obito did not show excessive concern despite Madara's questioning. His voice was indifferent as he said, "Nagato was killed by the Fifth Hokage of Konoha and could not use the Rinne Tenshin Technique. Orochimaru could only resurrect you with the Impure World Reincarnation first."

"I see." Madara nodded thoughtfully, staring at Obito under the white jade mask, and said, "So my Rinnegan is in your possession. How about this, I will teach you the Rinne Rebirth Technique on the spot, and then you can revive me."

Madara stared intently at Obito, seemingly trying to glean any clue from the other's eyes.

“No problem, but you seem to be better able to handle the upcoming battle in the Edo Tensei state.” Obito did not refuse, but Madara sensed his reluctance.

After all, the Rinnegan has immense power, and under these circumstances, Obito would never hand it back to Madara. Keeping the power in his own hands is the safest thing to do.

Perhaps feeling that it was not advisable to clash with Obito at the moment, Madara nodded in agreement, praising him, "Your idea is good, I agree to it for now."

He is one of the strongest ninjas in the world.

Madara was not worried about Obito having the Rinnegan.

Madara looked at everyone and said, "Tell me, what is the meaning behind summoning me at this particular time?"

Obito frowned and said, "I hope you can help me hold off the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, and then we will go to capture the Tailed Beasts."

then.

Obito told Madara everything that had happened recently. After hearing this, Madara's face gradually showed a smile, and he said, "So such a genius has appeared in the ninja world. This is really interesting, very interesting, hahaha."

Upon learning that Genba also possessed Wood Release, Madara exclaimed, "I never imagined that besides Hashirama, there was someone else who possessed Wood Release. I'd like to see it for myself today."

Orochimaru, unusually, fawned over Madara, saying, "Lord Madara, with your strength, dealing with the Fifth Hokage of Konoha would be a piece of cake, hehehe."

Ignoring Orochimaru's flattery, Madara stared at the village before him with mixed emotions. This was a village he had created with Hashirama, and perhaps it would be destroyed by his own hand today.

but.

Only the demise of the old era.

Only then can we awaken growth in the new era.

All of this should be summarized by oneself.

"I'll be the main force to draw away Konoha's main fighting force. You'll have to collect the Tailed Beasts. Don't let me down!" After saying that, Madara's legs spread slightly, and then he pushed off with all his might, unleashing astonishing power. He rose into the air like a rocket, leaping towards Konoha Village. When he was still dozens of meters away from the ground, Madara, still in mid-air, formed hand seals and then opened his mouth to spew out a sea of ​​fire.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

This kind of fire jutsu is only B-rank, but under Madara's command, it is incredibly terrifying. The sky turned fiery red, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The Konoha guards defending the city stared wide-eyed at this sight, but there was nowhere to escape; they could only await their fate of being consumed by flames.

Just now.

A raging fire erupted from the village, its power no less than that of the enemy.

The two fire-style powers collided, squeezed, and deformed, unleashing endless flames that even ignited the nearby trees.

Upon landing, Madara saw Genya emerging from the city gate, dressed in the Hokage's battle uniform, and jokingly said, "You must be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha? You're quite young."

When I felt a powerful force surging towards me.

Genye used the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

They arrived at the outskirts of the village in an instant.

Just then, they witnessed Madara planning to attack Konoha.

They acted decisively and stopped it all.

After all, if Madara were to enter the village, the destructive power he would unleash could potentially destroy Konoha in just a few moves.

Upon seeing Madara, Genba's expression turned serious. The oppressive aura emanating from the other party was too strong, but the former was also fearless.

"Swish swish"!

Several figures landed beside Xuan Ye. When Tsunade saw Madara wearing a black tight-fitting combat suit with a red layered vest on the outside, her beautiful eyes widened and a shocking wave of adrenaline surged in her heart.

How did Madara Uchiha come back to life?

Even Fugaku was shocked. Perhaps because of the passage of time, the other Konoha leaders didn't know who Madara was, but he was one of the ancestors of the Uchiha clan. How could the former not recognize him?

Madara looked at Genba and said, "Submit to me, and we Uchiha will carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan together; otherwise, death will be your inevitable fate."

Xuan Ye uttered two words calmly, "Go ahead and fight!"

"What a pity." Madara took out a scroll from his body and then cast a summoning jutsu. A flaming fan and a scythe appeared in front of him. He held them in his hands, and instantly his whole body was filled with a powerful aura.

Both of these weapons are passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan. The Flame Fan, in particular, is made from the wood of the Divine Tree. It is extremely hard and possesses abilities such as Uchiha deflection. In the original work, it can even deflect Naruto's small Tailed Beast Ball.

Seeing that Genba was about to fight Madara bare-handed, Tsunade gently patted the former on the shoulder and said, "I will lend you my grandfather's weapon."

Tsunade also used a summoning jutsu, and a sharp broadsword appeared in front of her. When Genye took it, he felt a little heavy and was slightly surprised. Hashirama's weapon was indeed very heavy, but it also felt comfortable to hold.

Genye reminded him, "Uchiha Madara is the mastermind behind the Akatsuki. Their goal is to obtain Jinchuriki. Protect them."

Tsunade nodded, a hint of worry appearing on her face. Although Genba was invincible in the past, at this moment, Tsunade was really unsure whether Genba could defeat Uchiha Madara.

The opponent is really too strong!

Looking at the indifferent Ban, Xuan Ye slightly rubbed the ground with his feet, causing the space around him to hum and a wave of air to appear. The next second, he was in front of Ban, gripping his broadsword and unleashing brilliant lightning. He immediately tore through the air and slashed down.

"Clang!" The broadsword struck Madara's fan, and the latter exclaimed, "Uchiha Reflection!"

"What the hell!" A powerful force sent Xuan Ye flying. He knew Ban was strong, but when they actually fought, he felt the power that the opponent unleashed was like a surging ocean.

Moreover, the opponent also possessed a weapon like the Uchiha fan, which was like adding wings to a tiger. Xuan Ye licked his lips, a fighting spirit surging in his eyes. Only by facing stronger opponents can one become stronger!

In an instant, Xuan Ye entered the "Lightning Armor," his body crackling with lightning. He reached out and clenched his fist, and a ten-foot-long lightning spear appeared in his left hand, which he then hurled at Ban.

as predicted.
