The ninja world has undergone many changes in recent years, but the turbulent situation we've seen recently is still hard for the people of the ninja world to accept.
Not long ago, the Akatsuki organization forcibly broke into Konoha Village, and recently, the Snow Village, which I've hardly ever heard of, brazenly sent troops to occupy Amegakure Village.
That's not even the most exciting part. Right now, the most talked-about topic among ninjas is the Ninja World War!
The five great ninja villages, along with various smaller ninja villages, ninja clans, and daimyo from different countries, have all gathered in the Land of Grass to form the Allied Shinobi Forces, seemingly ready to attack the Land of Rain at any moment. It looks like the Great Shinobi War is about to begin.
Of course, this is the thinking of ordinary people. Onoki and other high-ranking members of the ninja village have always hoped to delay the attack as much as possible and make more thorough preparations before taking action, since their fighting force has only gathered more than half of its strength at this moment.
Two weeks ago, the Five Kage Summit took an unexpected turn when the Fifth Hokage, Danzo, was killed by the rogue ninja Sasuke Uchiha, who also exposed his atrocities, including human experimentation. As a result, Konoha was thrown into turmoil once again. After a chaotic struggle, Kakashi Hatake was chosen to temporarily assume the duties of the Sixth Hokage and once again join the Allied Shinobi Forces.
However, the hostility of the Hidden Cloud Village and the weakness of Konoha itself meant that the Konoha ninja, who should have arrived quickly, had not yet fully assembled. This slow pace greatly angered the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who sent messengers to Konoha one after another to urge them to hurry up.
That's right. Compared to the various ninjas, the daimyo and nobles of various countries were more concerned about this battle. There was no way around it; after all, they had witnessed the arrogant declarations of Uchiha Madara and Hyuga Kaze!
Since the Konoha Village light screen incident, the ninja world has placed great importance on video recording. Several ninja villages filmed the entire incident in the Land of Iron.
Especially Grandma Chiyo, who directly mounted the camera on her robotic arm, and the footage she captured was incredibly clear.
Those videos clearly conveyed Madara Uchiha and Hyuga Kaze's will to overthrow the various countries of the ninja world, infuriating the usually complacent daimyo. Therefore, they frantically built shelters on one hand, and aggressively recruited wandering ninjas, samurai, and scattered ninja clans on the other, even sending over some of their most treasured ninjas.
Even with fewer people from Konoha, the Allied Shinobi Forces still number over 120,000!
However, having so many people has also brought a very troublesome problem: the division of command. The Allied Shinobi Forces have been arguing about this for several days.
Meanwhile, the situation is quite different within the underground base, the mountain cemetery.
Obito Uchiha lay on the ground, panting half-dead. A white Zetsu was infusing him with life force, while a black Zetsu knelt respectfully before a spiky-haired youth with an aura as deep as the sea.
At this moment, Black Zetsu appeared extremely obsequious, offering a pair of eyes with both hands and cautiously saying, "Lord Madara, please take back your eyes."
The newly resurrected Madara Uchiha silently took his own eyes and quickly placed them into their sockets as if installing keycaps.
Within seconds, he readjusted to his eyes, opened them, and stood up. The vast and boundless aura of rage emanating from Madara Uchiha surged even higher!
"What's going on now? Where did Nagato go? Why is it Obito using the Rinne Rebirth technique? Obito's eye technique is still somewhat useful."
The moment Madara Uchiha opened his eyes, he saw Obito lying half-dead. Normally, using the Rinne Rebirth technique to this extent would definitely result in death. Those resurrected in Konoha, like Nagato, still had their bodies intact and hadn't been dead for long. But Madara Uchiha was different; he not only resurrected Obito, but also reconstructed his physical body.
Based on Madara's keen eyesight and his current state, he immediately realized that Obito had used the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive him.
"There's been a slight problem with the plan," Black Zetsu said cautiously as he stood up and followed behind Madara Uchiha.
"Nagato sacrificed himself during the attack on Konoha, and a new powerful ninja has emerged in the ninja world that Obito is unable to defeat. We have no choice but to revive you ahead of schedule."
Please rest assured, Madara-sama. This time, the Rinne Rebirth Technique was activated by a strengthened White Zetsu possessing Obito. Both Madara and Obito shared the brunt of the side effects. Currently, it seems that although Obito is severely damaged, he won't die. With enough life force infused into him, he can revive.
Only you can turn the tide in the ninja world!
Under Madara Uchiha's imposing gaze, Black Zetsu nervously began to recount the events that had occurred after Madara's death. From the several upheavals in Konoha to Hyuga Kaze establishing Yukigami Village, and then to Hyuga Kaze's announcement of his intention to unify the ninja world, Black Zetsu quickly gave a brief overview of the current situation in the ninja world.
"The Allied Shinobi Forces have now gathered in the Land of Grass, and the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki are currently unknown. Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain, the original Akatsuki base has been occupied by Hyuga Kaze."
"Hmm, is Hyuga Kaze really that strong? He even defeated Hashirama's Edo Tensei?"
Madara Uchiha couldn't help but become interested as he listened to Black Zetsu Hyuga's introduction. He hadn't expected that a young man from the Hyuga clan's branch family could cause such a significant deviation from his plans. More importantly, Madara believed that only he could defeat Hashirama, and even the reanimated Hashirama shouldn't be defeated by anyone else.
"Heh, the power of the Impure World Body can't be fully utilized."
Black Zetsu was startled when he heard that Madara Uchiha was interested in Hyuga Kaze. Based on his observation, Hyuga Kaze's strength was not necessarily inferior to Madara's. The best option now was to quickly gather the tailed beasts and revive his mother.
Black Zetsu quickly changed the subject to steer the conversation towards Uchiha Madara.
"The White Zetsu is already intensifying their investigation on the Jinchuriki side. Lord Madara, do you think we should join forces with the Akatsuki and put pressure on the Allied Shinobi Forces to recall the Jinchuriki?"
"The Akatsuki members are all useless trash, what good are they!"
Madara Uchiha stretched his body to loosen his muscles, muttering a disdainful curse.
Facing Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu's face was full of flattery, but his words sounded like he was coaxing a child.
"After all, not everyone can have the strength of Lord Madara. The Akatsuki organization is already quite strong in the ninja world, but there are not many people left. The only real fighting force left is Kakuzu. Of course, we have also absorbed some fighting forces recently."
"Kakuzu, that guy who threw a kunai at Hashirama's wooden clone, he did have some courage."
Madara Uchiha still had some memories of Kakuzu; in that era, anyone who dared to defy him and Hashirama could be considered a warrior. Of course, if Hashirama hadn't intervened, those warriors who dared to defy him would have been crushed to death long ago.
After casually remarking, Madara Uchiha suddenly stood still, his tone resolute and firm.
"The Akatsuki and the others, Black Zetsu, go organize them. Those ninja villages are useless; they haven't even gathered enough people yet. Before the official battle begins, I'll go find Hyuga Kaze and have a match with him. I want to see this guy who defeated Hashirama. Even if it's the reanimated Hashirama, he shouldn't be desecrated. Only I can defeat him!"
