In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 365 Kabuto and His Foster Mother

"That makes sense." Jugo didn't object. He was an easygoing person with little opinion of his own, so since Suigetsu had said so, he agreed.

What they didn't know was that all of this was part of Qianye's plan.

Once they understand everything, they probably won't think that way anymore.

The words are divided into two parts.

A mountain cemetery.

As Jugo and Suigetsu embarked on their journey to find Sasuke, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan finally fused completely.

"No, no!"

Amidst screams, Sasuke, having obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and feeling invincible once again, summoned Susanoo and pierced the White Zetsu's true form with an arrow.

Amaterasu Kagutsuchi was then released, covering his entire body along Susanoo's arrow.

The poor White Zetsu in its true form ultimately could not escape its fate of being slaughtered.

"Finally finished." Erzhuzi ripped off the bandages from his eyes, destroyed the base, changed into his usual clothes and sword, and came to the ground. "Time to go outside and test my skills."

"Madara, Fujiwara Chiya, one of you schemed against me with all your might, and the other brought me endless humiliation. I will repay you for everything you have done to me."

The images of Ban and Chiya flashed through his mind.

Then it was Naruto's turn. "And you're the same, Naruto."

Perhaps it was because he personally killed Sakura, and because the reanimated Itachi Uchiha was sealed by Chinatsu.

Invisibly.

Erzhuzi has become increasingly wicked.

Naruto's talk-no-jutsu makes Sasuke's difficulty +100;

The difficulty of redeeming Erzhuzi is +99999.

On the other side, after summoning Uchiha Madara and realizing that Kabuto's reputation in the ninja world was resounding enough that no one would dare to underestimate him anymore, Kabuto severed the connection with the Edo Tensei substitute.

The extra was left to be sealed away.

"That's how it is, Dean."

At this moment, he is talking to the newly resurrected Yakushi Nonou, telling her the truth of what happened back then and why he was resurrected.

"Dou! My poor child, you've suffered all these years."

After hearing this, Yakushi Nonou did not look down on Kabuto's current inhuman appearance.

They didn't seem to mind the large snake on their bibs.

She pulled him into her arms, giving him the long-lost warmth from his mother.

"I am the Dean"

Dou suddenly trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes as she recalled the days at the orphanage. She hadn't shed tears for a long time.

The emptiness in my heart was gradually filled.

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi felt as if he had been reborn.

He was still born in Konoha after all.

After a brief moment of tenderness between mother and son, Yakushi Nonou inquired about the situation in Konoha and the orphanage.

In response, Kabuto revealed in detail that Konoha had formed an allied army to fight against Akatsuki.

At the same time, he also mentioned, quite satisfyingly, the massacre of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans by Chiya when the Third Hokage and Danzo ordered the extermination of the Uchiha clans.

Then came the deaths of the Third Hokage and Danzo.

That tone was incredibly inspiring.

Especially when mentioning Chiya, the admiration in his words was undisguised.

Yakushi Nonou listened quietly with a smile on her face, as if she were telling her own child about her idol.

He just looked at Dou with such kindness, without any intention of disturbing him.

When the orphanage was mentioned, Kabuto fell silent.

Since his adoptive mother died—or, to be precise, since Danzo took him from the orphanage—he has never returned to the orphanage.

Yakushi Nonou didn't blame Kabuto, because she understood that Kabuto had suffered countless hardships so far.

She smiled gently and naturally changed the subject, "Kabuto, so you're saying you're one of the instigators of this war now?"

Dou nodded slowly, without denying it.

"Did you agree to that Fujiwara child's request because you wanted to revive me?" Nono's tone held no reproach for Kabuto.

She was already very content to be able to be resurrected and see the child she had longed for for so many years.

"Not entirely." She suddenly wiped away her tears, becoming unusually shy, and stammered, "In the past, I was just an assistant under Lord Orochimaru."

"Apart from Lord Chiya and Lord Orochimaru, no one has ever given me a second glance."

"There are quite a few people who despise and look down on me because I worked for Lord Orochimaru and acted as a spy in many places."

"I want to prove myself to the world."

Facing his adoptive mother, who was like a biological mother to him, Dou made no attempt to hide anything; however, his tone and demeanor were just like that of a stubborn child.

This scene would likely shock anyone else.

"You really haven't changed at all, Kabuto. Still as competitive as ever." Yakushi Nonou chuckled softly, then her expression suddenly turned serious, and she said earnestly, "Kabuto, although Konoha has indeed wronged you in many ways, I still want to ask you for one thing."

As a former member of Konoha, she ultimately could not abandon her identity as a Konoha ninja.

They were even more worried about the children who had once lived in the orphanage.

"Do you want me to withdraw from this war?" Upon hearing this, Kabuto's heart skipped a beat, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, which was covered with some white snake scales.

Did you even anticipate this?

As expected of Lord Chiya.

Most importantly, withdrawing from the war would both align with Qianye's plan and avoid upsetting his adoptive mother.

Then Kabuto will be "redeemed" again, and then make his move at a crucial moment.

Thinking of this, Dou's admiration for Qianye grew even stronger.

As expected, only Lord Chiya could accomplish something like that.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Five Kage and Madara Uchiha continued in full swing.

Because Tsunade knew Madara's information, and possessed Senzu Beans to replenish chakra, as well as powerful offensive and defensive taijutsu like Armament Haki.

Unable to use the true power of the Rinnegan and without unleashing the complete Susanoo, Madara was initially overwhelmed.

He used Susanoo, but was crushed by a single punch from Tsunade and the Raikage, who was empowered by the Tsuchikage.

With Tsunade as his healer, Onoki had no shortage of chakra and used Wood Release. He finished the job with a single Dust Release.

As for Fire Release, let's not even mention it; Mei's Water Pillars are more than enough to extinguish it.

The war was once at a stalemate.

Until Madara used his Susanoo clones, they were all annihilated by Onoki's giant Dust Release.

The fighting had just briefly ceased.

Ban stood high in the sky, looking down at the five shadows:

"As expected of the Five Kage, especially the Hokage. You are Hashirama's granddaughter, right? I must say, I underestimated you. Although you can't heal your injuries without hand seals like Hashirama."

"But the fact that he can create a secret medicine that instantly restores injuries, chakra, and all his stamina, allowing him to fight me to this extent, makes him worthy of the name of Kage."

Because of the Susanoo clone technique, half of Madara's body was annihilated by Dust Release, and his body was paralyzed by the combined ninjutsu Lightning Water Dragon Bullet of Raikage and Mei Terumi.

Then Gaara was gradually enveloped in sand containing sealing talismans.

But his face showed no sign of panic; instead, it was filled with excitement.

Because the five people below are the second people, after Hashirama, who are about to force him to use the Complete Body Susanoo.
