From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

He quickly relaxed, his tone steady, yet there was an indescribable excitement in his voice.

"But that's precisely what makes it challenging! What's the point of a stagnant ninja world? Crossing mountains and smashing obstacles—that's the stage for me, Uchiha Madara!"

"Madara, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I suggest we take immediate action regarding Kurama."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha remained silent for a while before finally shaking his head.

"No need! We'll capture the Nine-Tails a month from now."

Madara, this guy is actually wary of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

What exactly happened to him before?

Obito Uchiha frowned. He had never seen Naruto nearly open the final Gate of Death before, only to be interrupted by Madara Uchiha.

Naturally, he couldn't understand why Madara Uchiha would be wary of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even the arrogant and domineering Madara Uchiha was wary of that seemingly dim-witted Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The next time you see him, the Gate of Death will open instantly, leaving him no time to stop it.

Of course, he could try to avoid their sharp edge.

But once the Gate of Death is opened, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will die, and his plan will be delayed for another three years.

And during these three years, Uchiha Sasuke...

"Let's go, Obito."

Madara Uchiha did not intend to kill all the Takigakure scum who were on high alert.

After a spatial vortex, the two disappeared from Takigakure Village.

........

June 5th, Konoha Year 64.

A cataclysmic event occurred in the giant crater on the border of the Land of Fire, its terrifying commotion affecting most of the ninja world, causing fear and dread among all.

Major nations and ninja villages urgently dispatched ninjas to investigate the location of the incident.

Early morning of June 6th, Konoha Year 64.

The weather changed drastically, and the affected area expanded. According to local residents who took refuge in underground shelters, there were huge noises everywhere, as if the earth was turning upside down and mountains were collapsing, suggesting a battle between gods and demons.

June 6th, Konoha Year 64.

Before the ninjas from the major countries and villages even arrived at the scene, the celestial anomalies had already ceased, leaving behind a landscape that resembled the aftermath of countless magnitude 9 earthquakes.

June 6th, Konoha Year 64

Before the world could return to its divine form and ponder what exactly happened in the giant crater of the sacred realm.

Another shocking piece of news from Sunagakure has arrived: two mysterious figures dressed in red cloud robes have stormed into the village and kidnapped the current Fifth Kazekage, Gaara.

The two elders of Sunagakure led their troops in pursuit. The specific details are unknown to the world. All that is known is that the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, returned safely, but Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was lost, and Chiyo, an elder of Sunagakure, died.

June 6th, Konoha Year 64.

People believed that Madara Uchiha, who was killed by the First Hokage in the battle at the Valley of the End, had been resurrected and had entered Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

In full view of everyone, the Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails were captured. The Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage were seriously injured, and countless elites died.

Madara Uchiha was also suspected to have been spotted near the territory of the Spider Clan in the Land of Fire, and he attacked Utakata, a Jinchuriki of the Six-Tails who was suspected to have defected from Kirigakure.

June 6th, Konoha Year 64.

Madara Uchiha attacked Takigakure in an attempt to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, but failed.

Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Eight-Tails, and a mysterious figure wearing a red cloud robe, suspected to be one of Madara Uchiha's subordinates, who broke into Sunagakure and captured the One-Tails.

In just half a day, Madara Uchiha captured five tailed beasts.

With an air of dominance over the world, it proclaims the return of the Asura who once dominated the ninja world.

When everyone thought that this ninja world demon's next target was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, the leader of the five great ninja villages.

Madara Uchiha, however, fell into an eerie calm and did not launch an attack on Konoha for a long time.

Some elders from the early days of the ninja villages, who had heard of or seen this ninja demon and admired him because of his deeds and strength, couldn't help but sigh.

Ban-ye is kind-hearted and cannot bring himself to harm the village he once founded.

If you ask me, we should have played like this a long time ago.

The world ignored the old people's ramblings and turned its attention to another major event that once again shook the ninja world.

Five Shadows Conference!

The Five Kage Summit, which had not been held for decades since the death of the First Hokage, was convened once again.

…………

Adding it after it's published is free.

1. Judging from the dense crowd during the battle between the two sides in the theatrical version, there were at least 3 to 4 able-bodied men on both sides alone.

Furthermore, I took a look, and there were no children or women in several of the scenes. There might be some, but they weren't in the few scenes that flashed by, so let's just assume they weren't there.

This means that the total population of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon far exceeds that of their relatives in the ninja world, and the number of combat personnel they can mobilize is at least equivalent to two or three large ninja villages.

2. In episode 610 of the Naruto anime, during Hiashi's flashback, during Pain's invasion of Konoha, Hiashi took her to visit the Kaguya clan in the Land of Grass, mentioning that the two families had been on good terms for generations.

Chapter 355 The Disappearance of the Caged Bird, the Reincarnation Eye's Movement, and the Thousand-Mile Eye Technique!

Late that night, in the Hokage's office in Konoha.

An emergency meeting is being held.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, sat in the main seat, flanked by Koharu Utatane, an elder and advisor to Konoha's senior management, and Homura Mitokado.

The group of people standing in front of Tsunade were Naruto and his companions, who had returned from the giant crater in the Sanctuary.

"........"

Tsunade tossed several intelligence reports from Konoha's agents stationed in various countries, along with confidential diplomatic documents from the major ninja villages, onto the table. Her face was ashen. She looked up at Naruto and his group and said:

"Speak, tell me the details of this mission. What exactly happened in the Sacred Pit? Who did it? And..."

At this point, Tsunade paused, her expression becoming even more serious.

"Is it true that Madara Uchiha has been resurrected, as is widely rumored in the ninja world? Is his resurrection related to what happened in the Sanctuary crater?"

Tsunade rattled off a string of questions, somewhat losing her usual composure at work.

It was clear that she was extremely agitated at the moment, completely disregarding whether the others had realized what was happening.

No wonder, today's events have stirred up a huge wave, and it's a continuous series of huge waves.

Thanks to the advanced and rapidly evolving technology in the ninja world today, not only is technology advancing, but the behavior of ninjas is also evolving.

Television, telephone, fax, telegraph, radio, etc. (Television, telephone, and radio existed in Naruto's era.)

The use of ninjas for communication and information exchange is no longer limited to the Warring States period and earlier, such as ninja hawks, summoning beasts, and space-time techniques.

Around 2 PM this afternoon, about fifteen minutes after the celestial anomaly that had affected most of the ninja world at the Sacred Pit disappeared, Naruto and his group were just returning to Konoha from there.

Tsunade, who was stationed in Konoha, was filled with doubt and uncertainty as the signs of the celestial anomaly suddenly disappeared, unsure whether it was a good or bad thing.

An urgent diplomatic request for assistance from Sunagakure, an ally of the village, interrupted her thoughts.

The Hidden Sand Village was attacked, and the Fifth Kazekage was defeated and captured while trying to protect the village.

Tsunade had no choice but to urgently dispatch Might Guy's team, which had just returned from a mission, along with the vice-captain Elephant and Wood Release Tenzo, and other elite Anbu members to Sunagakure to provide support.

Tsunade's mission order had just been issued when diplomatic telegrams from intelligence agents from various countries and major ninja villages began pouring in.

The Hidden Cloud Village was attacked, and the Jinchuriki, a Tailed Beast, was captured.

Iwagakure was attacked, and the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts were captured.

Takigakure Village has been attacked...

A barrage of shocking information completely stunned Tsunade, who had just recovered from her shock, and all of it pointed to one person, someone who should have died long ago.

Madara Uchiha!

He's not dead!

Or perhaps he was brought back to life!

"Let me explain, Tsunade."

Jiraiya stopped Naruto, who was about to speak and was eager to do so, and turned to say with a serious expression, "What exactly happened in the Sanctuary crater? We arrived too late and don't know much about it. I can only guess that it was a ritual based on my experience and the traces left at the scene."

"ceremony?"

Tsunade frowned.

Jiraiya nodded: "Yes, a ritual."

"We're not entirely clear on the specifics of the ceremony. When we returned, we handed it over to the ninjas who came to investigate, hoping to get more clues."

"As for the person who held the ceremony, if I'm not mistaken, it was Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Or..."

At this point, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it's Orochimaru. After all, Tsunade, you know that Orochimaru always does things in a mysterious way."

"Orochimaru..."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's brows furrowed even deeper. Then, Jiraiya continued:

"But I think the most likely candidate is Uchiha Sasuke."

How did you arrive at this conclusion?

"Because he is the biggest beneficiary."

"After the ceremony, we saw Uchiha Sasuke, and his eyes at that time were..."

Jiraiya's expression turned extremely solemn, and he said, enunciating each word clearly: "Rinnegan!"

"The Rinnegan!?"

Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane, who had been sitting silently beside Tsunade without uttering a word, suddenly stood up and exclaimed in a sharp and horrified voice, "You mean the legendary Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths!?"
