Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

I learned magic arts a long time ago.

Furthermore, I have mastered not only the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku, but also the sage techniques of Ryūchi Cave.

Furthermore, I have become a tailed beast life form, capable of directly absorbing natural energy.

Liao Wu thought to himself.

But on the surface, he wore a sweet expression: "Can I defeat the leader of Akatsuki just by practicing Sage Mode?"

Fukasaku shook his head: "I don't know. The leader of Akatsuki has the Rinnegan; he's not a simple person."

"However, Naruto, learning Sage Mode will give you a trump card. Sages are naturally stronger than ordinary people; otherwise, what would be the point of calling them sages?"

Liao Wu glanced at Hong subconsciously. Was he following an old toad to learn the immortal techniques he had already learned, or was he following a young woman to properly experience the charm of a married woman?

Liao Wu prefers the latter to the former.

Kurenai glanced at Ryou and said, "Naruto, I've heard that the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku has very powerful genjutsu. You could ask Fukasaku-sama to teach you genjutsu!"

Fukasaku glanced at Kurenai and realized what was going on: "Your mental power is very sharp, little girl. It seems you're a Jonin specializing in genjutsu. Is Naruto here to improve his genjutsu?"

Kurenai nodded: "Yes, Lady Fukasaku, my name is Kurenai Yuhi, and my father was once Konoha's greatest illusionist—Shinobu Yuhi!"

"Naruto came to me to ask me to teach him genjutsu!"

Fukasaku smiled and praised, noting that female Jonin were still quite rare.

Female ninjas as powerful as Tsunade are ultimately just exceptions.

Fukasaku looked at Ryou: "Naruto, I also know genjutsu. The sound of a toad singing has a strong hallucinogenic property."

"Would you like to learn to sing like a toad?"

Singing like a toad?!

goo goo-

Liao Wu immediately puffed out his cheeks and made croaking sounds like he was practicing some kind of toad kung fu.

The sage Fukasaku chuckled: "You've imitated the croaking of a toad quite well, but you haven't quite grasped the essence of a toad's song yet."

"The illusions of Mount Myoboku are created by inducing hallucinations through hearing. We chant to release sound waves that interfere with people's auditory nerves."

Liao Wu said, "Lord Fukasaku, my illusion techniques are not even at the basic level. It would be a waste for you to teach me the secret illusion techniques of Mount Myōboku. I need more basic illusion techniques training."

"I think Teacher Hong can lay a solid foundation for my illusion magic."

Liao Wu still didn't want the immortal Shen Zuo to disrupt his plans.

Hong felt a little touched.

She was indeed a Jonin specializing in genjutsu, but only at the level of an ordinary Jonin. Back then, she couldn't even withstand a single glance from Itachi.

Compared to the toad sage of Mount Myōboku, he is far inferior.

Kurenai felt that Naruto should train under Fukasaku to refine his genjutsu.

But to her surprise, the other party was actually considering her feelings and did not completely believe in the immortal.

You must understand, those are immortals! They are naturally stronger than mortals!

Fukasaku glanced at Kurenai and nodded: "Indeed, Naruto, your genjutsu is only at the beginner level. To practice the genjutsu of my Mount Myōboku would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow."

"This girl named Kurenai Yuhi will be in charge of guiding Naruto in learning basic genjutsu."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded: "Yes, sir Fukasaku!"

Liao Wu went to the toilet and created a spore clone, which then followed the Immortal Shen Zuo to cultivate immortal arts.

Fukasaku subconsciously assumed that the spore clone was Ryou's true form, given its powerful chakra.

Liao Wu's true form followed Xi Ri Hong to cultivate illusion techniques.

Using shadow clones for training is basically exclusive to Naruto.

……

Orochimaru's former base.

Orochimaru is dealing with two former members of Akatsuki: Sasori, who controls puppets, and Kakuzu, who possesses the forbidden technique of Earth Grudge Fear.

Neither of them were at their peak; in their impure state, neither of them could unleash their full power.

For example, Sasori's Third Kazekage puppet was not present, and his original puppet had been automatically picked up by Kankuro.

There were no puppets required for the forbidden technique of Hundred Machine Manipulation.

Sasori was completely blank slate; he could only use chakra threads to control some of Kabuto's experimental subjects, using them as puppets to fight Orochimaru.

These experimental subjects were all swept away by the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru.

Sasori at this point is only slightly stronger than an average Jonin.

And then there's Kakuzu, who just revived and only has one heart, which is his original earth-attribute heart.

Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear forbidden technique requires taking the heart of a ninja, preferably the heart of a Jonin who has mastered the Five Elements Release techniques.

For example, Kakashi could replenish Kakuzu's Lightning Release Heart.

It can also provide Kakuzu with a few more lives.

He had just been unleashed by the Impure World Reincarnation technique and didn't have time to allow the Earth Grudge to replenish its attribute heart.

Therefore, Kakuzu can only fight by utilizing the characteristics of Earth Grudge Fear and releasing some black lines.

Orochimaru spat out a Kusanagi sword. The sharp Kusanagi sword could cut through Sasori's chakra threads and also destroy Kakuzu's earth-grimity black threads.

Orochimaru handled his two former colleagues with ease.

He chuckled coldly, "Sasori, Kakuzu, you've truly fallen on hard times!"

"hateful!"

Scorpion was somewhat annoyed. He was an extremely proud man, and he believed that it was better to die standing than to live on one's knees.

He was turned into an impure puppet by his former subordinate Kabuto, and Orochimaru mocked him so much that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Once a ninja reaches a certain level, they need to use special tools to enhance their abilities.

For example, Scorpion needs to prepare human puppets, prepare puppets for the Hundred Machines Manipulation, and transform his own body into various hidden weapons.

Without these tools, Scorpion would have been more than half useless.

Most members of the Akatsuki organization are like this.

Deidara needs to prepare special clay, Kakuzu needs to hunt the hearts of Jonin, and Hidan needs to prepare a curse ritual during the battle...

Even Itachi sought a swift victory, as his health could not afford to be delayed.

Kabuto saw that Sasori and Kakuzu were unable to defeat Orochimaru immediately, so he summoned another coffin.

There were two words in the center of the coffin lid: "Demigod".

Orochimaru saw it and paused slightly: "Hanzo the Salamander?"

Kabuto opened the coffin, and a man with long platinum blonde hair stepped out.

He was tall and strong, his face completely covered by a heavy metal gas respirator, with two filter tubes extending from the sides of the mask, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

He wore a dark gray protective helmet on his head and a short, dark blue cape draped over his shoulders.

He exuded an aura of oppressive power, a testament to his long experience in battle. He was none other than Hanzo of the Salamander, a demigod once renowned throughout the ninja world.

The first thing Hanzo saw upon waking up was Orochimaru.

He recognized the other person: "Orochimaru?!"

Hanzo immediately questioned his own state: "What's wrong with me?"

He looked at his hands, remembering how Pain had stormed into Amegakure and killed him with ease.

Hanzo noticed his porcelain-like hands: "Impure World Reincarnation?!"

Hanzo and Onoki were contemporaries, both figures representing the transition from the Sengoku period to the era of the Five Great States.

It rose to prominence during the Second Shinobi World War.

He knew the Second Hokage of Konoha's forbidden technique—the Impure World Reincarnation.
