Preparations before the war

Inevitably, a great war is coming. The major ninja villages of various countries gather elite ninjas to form a powerful ninja alliance.

At the same time, news of "resurrection from the dead" came from various places. Most of those who were resurrected were powerful ninjas, even including other deceased Kages.

This is a large-scale earth-reincarnation technique, Uchiha Tobi thought in his heart. Although I don't know whose plan it is, there must be a way to deal with it.

There were noisy sounds coming from the room. A boy with short blond hair was muttering to himself, occasionally crawling on the tatami and squirming, and from time to time running around the room.

The Shinobi Alliance is about to attack Uchiha Madara and Akatsuki, the organization that started the Fourth World War. The attacking team is very fierce, and almost all the capable troops have gone to the front line.

But this does not include the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto. As the last Jinchuriki, in order to prevent the enemy from succeeding, he was well hidden.

Located in a secret place, a large area of ​​original ecology has not been destroyed. Although there is a shrine that does not enshrine anything, it is kept very clean.

Ignoring Naruto's complaining and wailing, Uchiha Tobirama closed the script and followed the sound to the outside of the shrine.

The young man with long black hair wore the uniform forehead guard of the Ninja Alliance on his forehead and a green vest, and his outfit was neat and simple.

Tobi nodded as a greeting, and Senju Hashirama put down the things he brought, and then the two of them sat cross-legged in the corridor of the shrine.

"Leave this mission to us. Take a good rest, Tobirama." Hashirama patted the boy's shoulder and assured him, "We will succeed."

Uchiha Tobi was not worried about not being successful, on the contrary, he was very clear about the subsequent developments. He wanted to stop Hashirama from joining the war, but after thinking it over, he chose to acquiesce amid 005's protests.

Anyway, he is dumb for now, so it is normal that he cannot stop it.

After seeing Hashirama off, Tobi saw Naruto peeking in. The latter coughed to cover up his mistake and pretended to be just passing by.

As the last trump card to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Tobi and Naruto stayed in this place that few people knew about. But more importantly, the injured Tobi could not directly join the battlefield.

He had no time during this period, as he was busy studying the script and dealing with 005.

In the past, 005 always possessed living things and had the ability to move freely, so he talked a lot.

But after returning to Konoha, Tobi discovered that this time 005 possessed the fur collar he usually wore, and the corresponding words were much less. The fur collar suddenly became fluffy and a circle larger, and occasionally moved automatically without wind, which attracted a lot of people's attention.

The script mentioned that this fourth war was inevitable. But after research, Uchiha Tobi discovered that all of this, even the tragedy that could be traced back thousands of years, was caused by something called Zetsu.

Speaking of Black Zetsu, Uchiha Tobi thought of that dark creature. At first sight, he felt that guy was unpleasant, and it seems that the first impression was for a reason.

"well--"

"well!"

"well……"

The continuous sighs finally diverted the attention of the white-haired boy. Seeing this, Mingren walked over, squinting his eyes to observe, and asked suspiciously: "I say, there is not a single word in this book, what are you reading?"

Fei did not answer this question, but just cooperated and put down the things in his hands.

Naruto Uzumaki is the child of the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Hokage. He became the vessel to seal the Nine-Tails after he was born. Later, he was hated and disliked because he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, such a dark experience did not erase his innocent heart at all. Today, Naruto Uzumaki is a cheerful and positive young man.

And Naruto Uzumaki is the "protagonist" of this world.

Shikaku knew very well that this Fourth War would not be possible without Naruto. So even though he was commissioned by the Hokage, he had no intention of really locking Naruto up.

The words written on the scroll were crooked and the originally clean and tidy paper was crumpled. After drawing an unknown number of circles, other sounds finally appeared in the quiet place.

Because of his injured throat, Tobi couldn't speak directly. This made Naruto, who loved the hustle and bustle, feel very frustrated. So when he heard the sound of the door opening, he jumped up.

It was a figure wearing a fox mask. Naruto recognized the familiar outfit as that of an Anbu. So he asked with some anticipation, "Can I join everyone now?"

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then said "No". Then the blond-haired boy became visibly depressed.

Tobi stood up, exchanged glances with Itachi, and got the information he wanted. The information he asked Itachi to gather had made some progress.

Naruto regained his emotions and resumed his carefree demeanor. He seemed to have suddenly realized something and stared at the fox mask intently.

"Your voice... sounds so familiar, have we seen it somewhere before?"

Itachi didn't answer. He quickly shifted his focus as he thought. He looked at the door that was packing things and asked, "Is he going to take it with him?"

Fei nodded to indicate that he would take it with him. If he didn't, this guy would have a lot of troubles by himself.

"Something happened in Konoha." Itachi took the opportunity to speak, "Orochimaru has resurrected. He and Sasuke went to Konoha and took away the coffins of the previous Hokages."

It was Orochimaru again, and Uchiha Tobi was a little surprised. But after hearing that the coffins of the previous Hokage were taken away, he understood Orochimaru's plan.

He probably wanted to rob the successive Hokage and use them. But Tobi didn't understand why Sasuke was involved in this.

Before Itachi could explain in detail, Naruto tilted his ear to eavesdrop. The two looked at each other and stopped talking tacitly.

Tobi packed up all the things and put them in the ninja bag, then waved to Naruto. The latter immediately trotted over with some anticipation in his eyes.

The young man held one person with each hand, and the next second all three disappeared——

In an empty place, on a high cliff, a young man tied to a tree said angrily, "Let me go!"

Uchiha Madara ignored it and waited there according to the information brought by the crow.

From Uchiha Sasuke, Madara learned that in the future, the Uchiha clan would be exterminated, and in the end only Uchiha Sasuke would be left.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't surprised and unbelievable, but after frowning and thinking hard for a long time, Uchiha Madara became more and more depressed.

If Fei already knew about this, why didn't she tell him? Although it's hard to accept, I still...

Was joining Konoha also a wrong choice? Uchiha Madara began to think, but before he could figure it out, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Wow, this is so sudden." Uzumaki Naruto patted his chest and said with a still dizzy head, "How convenient, suddenly appearing in... Sasuke?!"

The boy noticed his friend being tied up and hurried forward.

Sasuke looked a bit battered, but he had no wounds. So Itachi restrained his movements and stood still.

Madara stood up and put the round fan leaning against the stone on his back: "I found it on the road and brought it here."

Uchiha Sasuke had a complicated expression. He had planned to challenge Pain alone, but was taken away by Uchiha Madara who was passing by.

Uchiha Tobi nodded, then unfolded the scroll he brought. He had already written his plans and arrangements on the scroll.

Uchiha Madara took it and read it, nodding in approval as he read: "Okay, I understand."

Naruto and Sasuke over there started fighting again for some unknown reason. The other three people present didn't take it seriously, as they thought it was just a minor fight between children.

But with the intermittent explosions and Naruto's shout of "We are friends!", Uchiha Madara's belated reaction seemed a little too quiet.

He raised his head and looked carefully at the person in front of him. Because they were family members who lived together day and night, Ban quickly discovered that something was wrong.

The wide white fur collar made the face look even smaller, and the evasive look in his eyes clearly showed that he was guilty.

Uchiha Madara threw the scroll in his hand into Itachi's arms, and with his free hands he cupped the boy's cheeks. Tobi was unable to dodge and was forced to lift his chin, mumbling the word "brother".

Hidden on his neck beneath his furry ruff was a dark, circular scar.

The size and depth of the scar made it clear at a glance that it was a fatal injury.

Madara's hands stiffened, and his voice trembled with anger that he could not hide: "Who... who is it?!"

He had only been away for a few days, and he had almost lost his last brother. The fear made him consciously open his Sharingan, and the pressure from the strong spread all over.

"It's Senju Hashirama?! That guy, that guy!" Madara was uncontrollably angry, "Where is he, where are the others?"

The reason why he left without worry was that he believed in Hashirama Senju. Ordinary people could not threaten the Door with Flying Thunder God. Only someone with Hashirama's strength could threaten his brother's life.

Uchiha Tobi patted Madara's shoulder gently, and although his voice was hoarse, he still called him "Big Brother". He shook his head, indicating that Hashirama was innocent.

But when he thought of the person who actually did it, Fei's expression became a little bitter.

When he was hugged tightly, the person in front of him buried his head in his shoulder. Uchiha Tobi heard "sorry" again and again, which was his brother's guilt for his negligence.

When touching Uchiha Madara's slightly trembling back, Uchiha Tobi also knew that if something really happened to him, it would undoubtedly be a huge harm to his brothers.

But Izuna is not dead. After telling this to Madara, the highly tense mood should be relieved.

But now Izuna has been taken away. Although we know that Uchiha Madara will not harm Izuna, how to find her back is another problem.
