Chapter 55
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen only had an idea in his mind. Now is a period of war, and it is not suitable to carry out reforms to upgrade ninjas. Everything must wait until the war is over.
Knowing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the topic back to the battlefield:"Let's talk about the forbidden techniques later, let's discuss the battlefield of the Land of Earth first!"
"Well, the situation in the Land of Earth is still very critical. The ninjas who returned from the Land of Wind have almost recovered and should be able to provide support at any time."
……
Seeing that the others had brought the topic back to the battlefield, Yusuke suddenly felt bored and left the Hokage's office to return to the Akimichi clan to study the recipes. Since he couldn't get the Eight Gates for the time being, he would focus on training and the recipes.
……
In an underground cave in the Land of Rain, a 70-meter-tall human-shaped wooden statue stood in the corner. The wooden statue had a ferocious expression and ten barbs of varying lengths behind it.
On the stone seat in front of the wooden statue, an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face was sitting there with his eyes closed. The aura emanating from his body made the entire cave very depressing.
At this time, a strange creature with half black and half white emerged from the ground, looked at the old man and said respectfully:"Lord Madara!"
The old man was Uchiha Madara, known as the Shura of the Ninja World, and the strange creature was Kaguya's will - Zetsu.
If Yusuke was here at this moment, he would definitely find that Uchiha Madara was obviously much younger than in the original work, and his spirit and energy were not like that of an old man at all.
Hearing Black Zetsu's call, Madara opened his eyes, and an extremely domineering aura flashed from his single eye. The scarlet three-magatama Sharingan looked at Black Zetsu and said in a cold voice:"What's the situation of those three people now?!"
Black Zetsu said respectfully:"Uzumaki Nagato is still dreaming of peace in the ninja world with his two friends, and they also founded an organization called Akatsuki. However, I have lured Danzo, the dark ninja world of Konoha, to let him discover Nagato's Samsara eye. With that guy's greed, he will never let Nagato go. With a little guidance, Nagato should be able to get one step closer to integrating the Samsara eye and complete your plan, Madara-sama." Madara nodded
, and said in a deep voice:"I am old and weak now, and my physical potential is almost exhausted. The technique of that little devil has little effect on me, and I can't use it to return to youth.
Therefore, Nagato's plan to nurture the Samsara eye cannot fail, you must deal with it with caution!"
"Yes, Master Madara!"
"What about the other two?!"
"Uchiha Obito is now following Minato Namikaze in the battlefield of the Land of Lightning, which is too far from where we are hiding, so the previous plan cannot be implemented for the time being. As for Yusuke Akimichi's progress, it has surpassed your expectations, Lord Madara. He defeated Shukaku effortlessly on the battlefield of the Land of Wind, and his strength has been close to that of Lord Madara."
Hearing what Black Zetsu said, there was no surprise on Madara's face. He picked up the scroll beside him and said in a deep voice:"The wisdom of that kid is no less than that of me and Hashirama back then. It is reasonable to have such progress, otherwise he would not have created that theory, which made me use the chakra of the Outer Path Statue to become several years younger!"
Hearing this, Black Zetsu took a look at the pipeline between the Outer Path Statue and Uchiha.
This pipeline was originally the medium for Madara to maintain his life through the Outer Path Statue, but since a few years ago, a White Zetsu copied a copy of Yusuke Akimichi's theory from the Hokage's office, this pipeline has become a device for Madara to absorb the chakra of the Outer Path Statue to become younger.
Fortunately, Madara's body has reached its limit due to old age, and his absorption capacity is limited. He is only a few years younger, which gives him the ability to fight.
"So what do you mean, Master?"
"Now that Konoha lost the battle in the Land of Earth, that brat will definitely be sent to the Land of Earth. You will bring him here, I want to try him out myself, to see if he can be my opponent?!"
Madara had a domineering and proud look on his face, he was looking forward to Yusuke's growth, since Hashirama's death, he urgently needed an opponent to satisfy his desire to fight, he really wanted to have a hearty battle before he died.
"Yes! Master Madara, I will go down and arrange it right away!"
Black Zetsu nodded, and his body slowly sank into the ground and disappeared. Madara looked at the stone wall of the cave with anticipation, looking forward to the arrival of this battle.
……
Two days later, except for the seriously injured ninjas who returned from the Kingdom of Wind, the rest had recovered, so Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Orochimaru to lead these people to march towards the Kingdom of Earth.
The trees under his feet retreated rapidly, and Yusuke turned his head to look at Orochimaru beside him, and asked curiously:"Teacher, what happened to Rasa and others?!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru's face was a little ugly, and he said with regret:"After the orders of the advisory group and the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire, it can be confirmed that as long as the compensation from the Kingdom of Wind is in place, Rasa, Chiyo, the One-tail Jinchuriki and the group of Sand Ninjas we captured will be repatriated."
Yusuke couldn't help cursing at the mysterious operation of the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha:"Are the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire and Sarutobi Hiruzen idiots?!"
"The Wind Country has already lost the Sand Ninja military organization, so how much strength can it have? If it doesn't take this opportunity to beat the fallen dog, it will also let Luosha and others go back to the mountains."
"Even if the Fire Nation is sanctioned in other aspects, what loss will it cause to the richest Fire Nation?"
"If this is the result, then what is the point of the Konoha ninjas who died in the Wind Country battlefield?! Did they die in vain?!"
"……"
Listening to Yusuke's foul language, Orochimaru's face became even uglier, but at the same time, there was understanding in his eyes. He not only understood Yusuke's anger, but also understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen made such a choice.
This is a problem of education. Konoha's Will of Fire has always adhered to the philosophy of Hashirama Senju. As an idealist, Hashirama Senju's philosophy is to win people over with virtue, to impress the leaders of major countries with sincerity, and to teach the villagers through virtues. This is his ideal will of fire.
Although the will of fire has changed, it is essentially an extension of Hashirama Senju's will of fire, and the emphasis is still on winning people over with virtue.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has received this kind of education since he was a child. Hashirama Senju's peace philosophy and winning people over with virtue have been engraved in his bones. In addition, he is old and has lost his ambition when he was young. He cares more about his position in his heart. It is the best choice for him for Luosha and others to return to the Kingdom of Wind and become Konoha's allies.
If Orochimaru had not chosen to believe in the will of fire because of some changes, he would not have discovered these problems.
Looking at Yusuke, Orochimaru felt that the future of Konoha depended on him, and slowly said:"Yusuke, do you want to be Hokage?!"
