Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

With a bang, Orochimaru exploded into smoke, and even the summoning scroll he had swallowed earlier disappeared.

Liao Wu's expression turned ugly: "Damn it, it's a shadow clone! When did this happen?"

Liao Wu carefully recalled that Orochimaru probably used Shadow Clone Jutsu while he was distracted during the contract he signed with the Ryuchi Cave Summoning Scroll.

His true form probably escaped underground.

Liao Wu glanced back at the forest across the bridge; it wouldn't be long before he passed through the Grass Kingdom.

Once you enter the Land of Fire, it becomes Konoha's home ground.

Orochimaru has many other great techniques: the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, the Reanimation Jutsu, the Impure World Reincarnation... which one of them wouldn't be a forbidden technique?

Especially the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which is practically the most overpowered forbidden technique in Naruto.

Liao Wu wanted Orochimaru to drop more gold coins, and was about to give chase when a White Zetsu clone suddenly emerged from the soil.

"Lord Liaowu, the Konoha army is gathering outside the Land of Grass. Don't chase after them."

Liao Wu snorted: "The Leaf Village army?! You mean I should avoid their attacks?"

Liao Wu was a little annoyed. He was about to run a little further away when White Zetsu appeared. Wasn't Ban Lao Mo reminding him that he was being watched and that he shouldn't try anything funny?

The White Zetsu clone made way: "If Lord Liaowu insists on confronting the Konoha army head-on, I won't stop him, except for Lady Tsunade..."

Liao Wu was speechless: "Fine, fine, I'll go back!"

Liao Wu, carrying the Flame Fan and the Moon Wheel Scythe, headed towards Ban's direction.

Liao Wu has already signed a spirit communication contract with Longdi Cave, and the purpose of this trip has been fulfilled, so there is no need for him to act on his own.

Besides, with the Konoha army currently focused on the Land of Grass, the only safe place is near Madara.

But Liao Wu became angrier the more he thought about it.

They directly seized the White Zetsu clone that had just delivered the message and refined it in an instant.

Before the White Zetsu clone's consciousness was extinguished, I was speechless. You should kill your teammates too!

After absorbing a White Zetsu, Liao Wu generated another Life Spore. He then created a clone from the Life Spore and used Earth Escape to travel towards the border of the Land of Grass.

Liao Wu suffered so much injustice in Konoha, now that his luck has improved, he naturally wants to show off.

This is what is meant by "not returning home in wealth and honor, like wearing fine clothes at night."

Everyone in Konoha must know that Uchiha Ryou is no longer the same person he used to be, and that from now on, offense and defense will be much easier for him.

The three-year period has come to an end; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King's return!

……

The Jonin of Konoha are in complete chaos.

The Third Hokage was so shocked he stopped smoking: "Wood Release? How could Madara Uchiha possibly know Wood Release?"

Senju Tamahaya held his head in his hands, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could an Uchiha possess Lord Hashirama's bloodline limit?"

Wood Release is legendary in the Senju clan; after searching through all the records, only Ashura, the founder of the Senju clan, and Hashirama Senju have awakened it.

How could an Uchiha ninja use Wood Release? Especially Madara Uchiha!

Jiraiya coughed twice, and just as he was about to speak, Minato spoke for him.

"What the teacher said is true. When I went there, I saw a wooden dummy as tall as the Hokage Rock. It was that wooden dummy that killed Orochimaru with one punch."

"..."

The Third Hokage was now completely convinced that Madara Uchiha possessed Wood Release.

But this is simply too much to bear!

The Sharingan and Wood Release are opposites. Now that Madara Uchiha possesses both the Sharingan and Wood Release, who in the entire ninja world can be his opponent?

The Third Hokage racked his brains, but there wasn't a single one!

Even if the First Lord were resurrected...

It's over, it's really over this time!

Jiraiya said, his face pale, "Master, Tsunade and Orochimaru were completely powerless against Madara Uchiha."

"Furthermore, I can sense that Madara Uchiha is not using his full strength; he's toying with us."

"Madara Uchiha is far beyond the capabilities of Konoha. We must unite with other ninja villages to form an allied ninja force and defeat him!"

Upon hearing this, the air in the entire small forest seemed to freeze.

Because that's clearly impossible; the three wars have been going on for a long time, and everyone's fighting has become chaotic.

They all have the blood of the other side's seven uncles and eight great-uncles on their hands. How could they possibly unite under such a blood feud?

Jiraiya looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I know this is difficult, but it's the only way right now. Madara Uchiha's goal is to destroy the Five Great Shinobi Nations."

"Only by uniting the entire ninja world can we save the ninja world."

"Cough cough..."

Jiraiya coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Minato quickly stepped forward to support him.

The Third Hokage stepped forward, his expression somewhat worried: "Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya held the Third Hokage's hand: "Sensei, I'm dying. Before I die, please promise me that you will save Tsunade."

"Yes, it will. It definitely will."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the Ninja Academy.

Tsunade, Orochimaru, Ryougo, Hiruko...

I wish I never had to grow up back then, so I wouldn't have to go through all this separation and reunion.

Everyone, please take care!

Liao Wu, you absolutely must protect Tsunade.

You're not completely evil yet, you must find a way to escape from Madara Uchiha!

Goodbye, Tsunade!

Orochimaru, I've come to find you!

"Hahaha……"

Jiraiya closed his eyes while laughing.

The dragon should return to the sea, but the sea does not welcome me; I come of my own accord!

"Jiraiya—"

The Third Hokage, with tears in his eyes, tightly grasped Jiraiya's hand.

If Tsunade were here at this moment, it would be great. Tsunade is a medical genius, and she would definitely have a way to treat Jiraiya's injuries. Unfortunately, Tsunade was captured alive by Madara Uchiha.

Tsunade was captured, and Orochimaru and Jiraiya were killed.

The Third Hokage aged more than ten years in an instant.

Everything was clearly moving in a positive direction. With only Kirigakure remaining in the Third Shinobi World War, he could safely hand over the Hokageship of Konoha to the Fourth Hokage.

Whether it was Minato or Tsunade who became the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage was very reassured.

But how could things suddenly change so drastically, with dark clouds looming over the city?

The Third Hokage felt this was divine punishment for him.

Suddenly, with a bang, a cloud of white smoke appeared.

Fukasaku appeared on Jiraiya's shoulder.

"Fukasaku Sennin..."

Minato felt as if he had seen a savior and rushed forward, hoping that Fukasaku would save his teacher.

The Third Hokage became excited.

The immortals of Mount Myōboku are even more mysterious and powerful than the First Hokage. With their help, they will surely be able to save Jiraiya.

Fukasaku's body was also wrapped in bandages, but he was still full of energy. He walked up to Jiraiya and reached out to transfer the Sage Technique within him to Jiraiya.

Magical arts can enhance a person's physical condition by dozens of times.

With the boost from Sage Mode chakra, Jiraiya's pale complexion became noticeably rosier.

Everyone was overjoyed to see this.

Jiraiya regained some of his senses; he had been tricked.

"...Fukasaku Sennin..."

Fukasaku patted Jiraiya on the shoulder: "Little Jiraiya, stop talking. Your body is still in danger. Come back to Mount Myōboku with me. The master has a way to save you."

"Thank you so much..."

No one likes death, especially since Tsunade is trapped in the Demon's Lair, and Jiraiya cannot die either.

The Third Hokage said gratefully, "Thank you, Sage Fukasaku. On behalf of the Hokage of Konoha, I thank Mount Myōboku for its kindness. In the future, Mount Myōboku and Konoha will share both glory and loss."

Fukasaku nodded, and just as he was about to activate the Reverse Summoning Technique, he reminded the Third Hokage before teleporting.

"Third Hokage, Madara Uchiha is not someone we can defeat by force; we must unite with other ninja villages to subdue him."
