Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Genma, with a senbon in his mouth, said somewhat nonchalantly, "Is this ancient relic from the Warring States period really worth Jiraiya-sama's serious attention?"

Standing on Jiraiya's shoulders, Fukasaku and Shima, the sages, heard Genma's words and angrily rebuked him: "The ninjas of Konoha are not some old relics!"

"One of his eyes is a kaleidoscope, and the other is the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths."

"He can summon a giant that is a hundred meters tall. His strength is comparable to that of Madara Uchiha. If he comes to Konoha, none of you will be able to withstand his power."

"What?!"

The crowd was shocked and skeptical upon hearing what the hermit Fukasaku had said.

This was so shocking that the ancient artifacts of the Warring States period had begun to fade into obscurity.

Two conservative elders from Konoha, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, couldn't sit still when they heard the words about someone's strength being comparable to Madara Uchiha.

Xiaochun and Yan stepped forward. Xiaochun solemnly asked, "Two immortals, is it true? Did that ancient Uchiha really possess the same power as Uchiha Madara?"

Koharu and Yan were not from the Warring States period, but lived during the transition between the Warring States period and the era of the Five Great Nations. They knew all too well what kind of power Madara Uchiha possessed.

It's no exaggeration to say that without the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the entire Hidden Leaf Village, or rather, the entire Land of Fire, would have been destroyed by Madara.

Those two have transcended the realm of ninja skill, becoming practically mythical figures.

Fukasaku nodded: "I didn't lie to you! As for the information about the Akatsuki leader, we'll talk about that later!"

"Let me tell you some information about the Uchiha clan from the Warring States period!"

"According to our information from Mount Myōboku, his giant is a fully formed Susanoo."

"Only Madara Uchiha's eternally blind Mangekyou Sharingan can summon it!"

"His power is indeed comparable to Madara Uchiha! Moreover, he possesses the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths!"

Yan asked in confusion, "But... this doesn't make sense! If the Uchiha clan really had such a powerful ancestor, why haven't we heard of him?"

Jiraiya explained, "He comes from an era even older than Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage! He claims to be Madara's grandfather!"

"Ban's grandfather?"

Everyone was startled.

"Then how come he didn't leave behind any reputation at all?"

Lu Jiu said, "I suspect he was swept away by the dragon vein just as he reached his peak, and our history is one in which he didn't participate!"

Everyone agreed. If Liao Wu hadn't been swept away by the dragon vein and was still in this state, he could have single-handedly destroyed the Thousand Hands Clan.

Then there would be no Konoha.

"Should we call it lucky or unlucky? Luckily, he was caught up in the dragon vein and has been here until now, which is why my Senju clan has been able to survive!"

"But now we must confront him!"

Tsunade sighed, then instructed Shizune to search for the Uchiha clan's historical records and find information about Ryoubu.

Everything that exists will leave a trace!

Shikaku asked Jiraiya, "Lord Jiraiya, what is the Uchiha clan's attitude towards Konoha?"

Jiraiya sighed and looked at Koharu and Yan, saying, "Elders, was the Uchiha clan massacre solely Itachi's doing?"

"..."

Koharu and Yan both fell silent, glancing at the Jonin around them.

They chose to stay with some trustworthy people, including Shikaku, Kakashi, and Yamato.

They didn't even leave behind Naruto's clones; they knew about the bond between Naruto and Sasuke.

If Naruto knew the inside story of the Uchiha clan massacre, he might develop rebellious intentions.

Young people of this age are the most rebellious.

After everyone left.

Koharu said to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, do you know anything about this?"

Jiraiya said, "My boss, the big sister, and I also discovered a mysterious person wearing a mask."

Kakashi interjected, "We encountered that person before when we were looking for Sasuke. He was Deidara's partner at first, but we didn't pay much attention to him."

"But suddenly they displayed space-time ninjutsu, making it impossible to attack him!"

"And—he calls himself Uchiha Madara!"

Xiaochun and Yan were somewhat skeptical: "Impossible! Madara Uchiha died a long time ago. Our teacher himself admitted it!"

Jiraiya said, "It's possible that he's not Madara Uchiha, otherwise he wouldn't be wearing a mask to hide his face."

"But even if it wasn't Madara Uchiha, he was still a troublesome figure. He knew the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre—the massacre of the Uchiha clan was ordered by the Konoha higher-ups to be carried out by Itachi."

"Of course, that's what that mysterious masked man said. He seems to want that ancient Uchiha guy, named Uchiha Ryou, to be hostile to Konoha."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he looked at Koharu and En's reactions.

Koharu and Yan exchanged a glance. Itachi had been ordered by the Konoha higher-ups to carry out the massacre; specifically, it was Danzo who acted alone.

But whether Itachi or Root takes action, the Uchiha clan is doomed.

Because they want a coup, they want to rebel!

Therefore, they all have to die!

Just as Koharu was about to say something, the sound of the door being pushed open rang out, and Danzo appeared.

He said, "It was my instruction to have Itachi massacre the Uchiha clan."

"Danzo!"

Everyone looked at Danzo with a solemn expression.

Tsunade was even more vigilant, realizing that the political struggle between the Anbu and Root had reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.

Danzo made no attempt to conceal his ambition to become Hokage.

After the Third Hokage's death, he returned to the game with the ambition of becoming Hokage.

However, Koharu and Yan felt that Danzo was too extreme and did not support him becoming Hokage.

Danzo ignored everyone's wariness of him and said to himself, "I thought only Itachi and I knew about that, but I didn't expect there was a third person who knew!"

"I think that mysterious man named Madara is trying to use this to manipulate Itachi's younger brother!"

"Now that Itachi is dead, he'll naturally take advantage of Itachi's younger brother!"

"I told Sarutobi a long time ago to hand Sasuke over to me, but he always refused."

"Sasuke Uchiha carries the evil blood of the Uchiha; one day he will destroy Konoha!"

Koharu said, "You're entrusting Sasuke to me? Have you forgotten Itachi? If you try to do anything bad to Sasuke, Itachi will stop you."

He fell silent when Itachi and Danzo were mentioned.

The reason Sasuke was able to live peacefully for so many years after the massacre of his clan was because of Itachi's threat to Danzo.

If Danzo harms Sasuke, then Itachi will leak Konoha's confidential information to other countries.

Itachi, who had served in the Anbu, knew a great deal of Konoha's secret information, which would cause a serious crisis if leaked to other countries.

Jiraiya said, "Now Madara has told Ryogoku the truth about the Uchiha's destruction, but Ryogoku did not come to destroy Konoha immediately."

"According to Madara, the Uchiha clan, which has colluded with the Senju clan, has already fallen and is no longer recognized by Ryougo, the ancestor who took pride in the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period!"

"All he wants now is to find more women, have children, and thus revive the Uchiha clan!"

Some people glanced at it sideways; it really was a simple and crude way of reviving the nation.

Since the Uchiha clan is extinct, let's cultivate more Uchiha clans.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief: "That means he won't be an enemy of Konoha for the time being!"

Danzo scoffed, "The Uchiha clan of the Warring States period, according to the Second Hokage, were inherently evil Uchiha; they didn't even need to act!"

"Unscrupulous! Committing all sorts of evil deeds! This kind of person must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
