Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Liao Wu glanced back, wondering whether he should kill the toads.

In the end, Liao Wu gave up, transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushed out of the Great Toad Sage's temple, and left Mount Myōboku.

The only person on Mount Myōboku who poses any threat to Ryōe is the Great Toad Sage, but its main threat is its precognitive dreams.

Liao Wu was not even prepared to do anything bad when the other party foresaw it and took precautions.

The Great Toad Sage's foresight was beyond his control, so it had to die!

However, none of the other toads on Mount Myoboku could threaten Ryowu.

This includes the two great sages, Fukasaku and Shima, as well as Jiraiya.

They couldn't even deal with a clone of Liao Wu, let alone Liao Wu who had already entered the Six Paths level!

Liao Wu transformed into lightning and flew out of Mount Myōboku. Many toads saw a giant cat made of lightning fly out of the Great Toad Sage's temple and then instantly leave Mount Myōboku.

After the Thunder Cat left, the environment of Mount Myōboku returned to its previous state, no longer showing the devastation brought by the thunder.

Gamabunta smoked his pipe, watching the Thunder Light depart from Mount Myōboku with a solemn expression.

Gamakichi and Gamaryu are next to Gamabunta.

Gamakichi asked Gamabunta with some concern, "Dad, that lightning wasn't a celestial phenomenon, was it?"

Gamabunta nodded: "It's composed of some kind of organism; it's living lightning!"

The Toad Dragon looked terrified: "A living thunderbolt? That's terrifying! When I saw it just now, I felt like I was about to die!"

"This is an ominous sign; my parents aren't here either. These are truly troubled times!"

Gamabunta exhaled a puff of smoke, then led Gamakichi and Gamaryu towards the Great Toad Master's temple.

Along the way, the high-ranking officials of Mount Myoboku, including Gamaken and Gamahiro, joined Gamabunta.

Toad Hiro, looking somewhat unwell, said, "I can no longer sense the Master's presence!"

Gamabunta and Gamaken both looked very worried.

The Great Toad Sage is not a sage known for his fighting prowess. If Mount Myōboku were to send the Great Toad Sage to the battlefield, it would probably be the end for Mount Myōboku.

The Great Toad Sage's position on Mount Myōboku is similar to that of a prophet. He has many henchmen, including the three brothers Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken.

But there was only one prophet!

If Mount Myōboku loses the Great Toad Sage, they will lose their future, because the Great Toad Sage has always guided the development of Mount Myōboku and directed all the actions of the toad clan through his precognitive dreams.

Without the Great Toad Sage, Gamabunta doesn't know what to do next.

They have lost their ability to rely on foresight for the future.

Gamabunta could only keep praying in his heart that the Great Toad Sage was alright!

But in the end, it was disappointed.

Before even reaching the temple of the Great Toad Sage, low, hoarse sobs echoed from the mountain temple.

That's the sound of a toad crying!

The once deep and resonant croaking of frogs has turned into a dull, intermittent gurgling sound.

Guh-woo—

His voice was deep and heavy, a trembling sound like a toad vibrating its chest, each note drawn out and accompanied by heavy breathing.

It wasn't just one toad crying, but many toads, their cries resonating together as if bidding farewell to the great toad immortal.

At the same time, the atmosphere became heavy and sorrowful.

Infected by the toads' cries, the Toad Dragon also started croaking along with the toads who were the first to discover the passing of the Great Toad Sage.

A low, mournful wail, mixed with heavy breathing, slowly echoed across Mount Myōboku!

Gamabunta and Gamaken exchanged a glance.

The Great Toad Sage has passed away!

……

Konoha Office.

Fukasaku, Shima, and Jiraiya relayed the intelligence they had gathered to the higher-ups of Konoha.

The information that Jiraiya discovered was quite significant.

For example, the leader of the Akatsuki organization was a student that Jiraiya left behind in the Land of Rain, one of whom possessed the Rinnegan.

Jiraiya did not report this extremely important information to Konoha.

The masked man is suspected to be Madara Uchiha!

A powerful member of the Uchiha clan from the past traveled to this era through the Dragon Vein.

Each one is more sinister than the last, and each one poses a greater threat than the last.

These are truly turbulent times!

"Fortunately, Naruto has also grown up. He not only learned Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, but also Kushina's sealing techniques."

Jiraiya comforted himself in this way.

What he didn't know was that Naruto, Konoha's hope had already been devoured by Ryoubu.

Koharu confronted Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, the Akatsuki organization has only grown to where it is today because of your negligence!"

"You violated the village rules by teaching ninjutsu to orphans in the Land of Rain, and you even failed to report Nagato's Rinnegan!"

"You've really disappointed us!"

Danzo subconsciously touched the bandage wrapped around his eyes.

Danzo also knew that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan.

After all, it was he and Hanzo who joined forces to destroy the newly formed Akatsuki organization.

At that time, Danzo's Root organization was basically wiped out by Nagato's Gedo Mazo.

Danzo would never consider Nagato to be a nobody.

He didn't report it to the Third Hokage; instead, he kept it a secret.

Only Danzo himself knew the reason.

Perhaps they wanted to let Nagato and Hanzo fight amongst themselves to deplete their war potential with the Land of Rain.

Or perhaps, they wanted to wait until the Root was rebuilt, gather more information about Nagato, and then seize his Rinnegan.

In any case, he and Jiraiya both concealed information about Nagato to some extent.

Allowing Nagato to grow stronger step by step has led to the trouble we have today.

Jiraiya did not refute this, as concealing the information about Nagato's Rinnegan was wrong in the first place.

Danzo then took a jab at Jiraiya, saying, "Jiraiya, you've become so lax these past few years that you haven't taken Konoha's rules to heart."

Tsunade said, "Alright, now's not the time to complain about who's responsible. We need to think about how to deal with these three troublesome guys."

"Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan; Madara Uchiha; and Madara Uchiha's grandfather, Ryou Uchiha."

Koharu frowned: "Of these three threats, Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, alone is not someone a single ninja village can deal with. We must unite with other ninja villages."

Danzo questioned, "Does forming a ninja alliance really mean we can defeat all three of them?"

Fukasaku added, "The three of them don't get along well; there are significant conflicts between them."

"Previously, Liao Wu had a conflict with Nagato. Liao Wu wanted to steal Nagato's companion, the girl named Konan, to have her baby."

"Liao Wu and Nagato started fighting directly, but unfortunately, Nagato seemed to know that he was no match for Liao Wu and did not fight back."

Everyone in the office listened attentively, each thinking about how to exacerbate the conflict between the three.

Defeat them one by one!

Let them fight first, then Konoha can reap the benefits.
