When Kakashi and Tobirama's consciousness returned to the real world, both of them felt intense disorientation and exhaustion.
Tobirama first gave a light snort: "What a cunning brat... As expected, Obito Uchiha was caught in Uchiha Genjutsu from the very beginning."
Kakashi took a deep breath, calming the shock in his heart.
"Second Hokage, from the very beginning, Obito entered Uchiha Gen's consciousness world. Therefore, for Obito, whether it was the limited Tsukuyomi world or the real world, he was indeed having a real conversation with Uchiha Gen."
"This also explains why Obito later showed such a strange attitude towards Uchiha Gen. He even frequently used the Limited Tsukuyomi to rewind his memories, just to avoid being manipulated and controlled by Uchiha Gen's genjutsu again."
After a moment's thought, Tobirama finally spoke again, saying, "This scroll should remain in your care. At the moment, you are perhaps the most suitable person to hold it."
The two did not linger and quickly left the underground chamber, returning to the Thousand Hands clan's territory above ground.
At this moment, the external environment is even worse than it was before they entered the underground.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was completely enveloped by the strange power of the Box of Bliss. Corrosive natural energy was everywhere and even intensified, as if it would completely devour everything.
Looking at the village before him, which resembled a demon's lair, Kakashi sighed softly, "Second Hokage, the power of the Paradise Box continues to spread, and the situation in the village is getting worse and worse."
Looking at Konoha.
Tobirama remained silent for a long time.
"This is all my failure... Miya is now completely out of my control. With my current strength, I am simply incapable of solving the problem at hand."
At this moment, Tobirama's words revealed an unprecedented weariness and desolation.
Although he still possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan left behind by the Nameless Uchiha, he is well aware that his power is insufficient to completely suppress Hiruzen, who has fully unleashed the power of the Box of Elysium.
Only his elder brother, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, could possibly suppress this situation.
With this thought in mind, Tobirama's eyes grew even more resolute; he had made his final decision.
Unlike the dark clouds hanging over Konoha at this moment, in the Land of Rice Fields, Kabuto Yakushi is lurking in a secret underground base.
He was carefully reviewing and organizing the various valuable research materials left behind by Orochimaru.
After Orochimaru's incident, Konoha repeatedly sent ninjas to search for related research data, but Kabuto Yakushi, with his cautious approach, had already cleverly hidden this data in advance, and it was never discovered by Konoha.
Recently, Kabuto Yakushi secretly traveled to Ryuchi Cave with the valuable documents left behind by Orochimaru.
Although he did not fully accept and inherit the complete Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave like Kakashi, he successfully mastered some of Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode abilities through his own research, greatly increasing his strength.
At that moment, Kabuto Yakushi was concentrating on studying the data when he suddenly noticed a dark and eerie shadow slowly emerging behind him.
"Who are you?"
The shadowy figure gradually became clearer, revealing the face of the Black Zetsu.
"Kabuto Yakushi, I am the representative of Madara Uchiha's will."
Upon hearing the name Uchiha Madara, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and asked, "Uchiha Madara? Are you referring to the Uchiha Madara that Obito called himself, or someone else?"
Speaking of Obito...
The atmosphere created by Black Zetsu vanished completely.
"I'm talking about the real Uchiha Madara, not that imposter Obito."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi revealed a hint of interest.
"So, as the true representative of Madara Uchiha's will, what exactly do you want me to do this time?"
Black Zetsu's gaze was dark and profound as he slowly spoke, "Kabuto Yakushi, I want you to use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive someone."
"Oh? So who exactly is it that warrants your serious visit?"
"The one I want to resurrect is the real Uchiha Madara."
The smile on the pharmacist's face gradually became more excited and enthusiastic.
"Uchiha Madara?"
"Yes, I have some Uchiha cells here, and this is a White Zetsu body. By using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, you can better revive him in his complete state."
As the number one schemer in the ninja world...:
Black Zetsu's patience had reached its limit.
Both Obito and Nagato are currently out of control.
Only by resurrecting Uchiha Madara using the Impure World Reincarnation technique can the current situation be reversed.
The only good news is that Nagato has taken away the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure.
This means the collection of tailed beasts can be further advanced.
Regarding Black Zetsu's claim of resurrecting Uchiha Madara using the Earth Reincarnation technique:
Kabuto Yakushi didn't have much doubt. Although Black Zetsu had ill intentions, Kabuto still needed a powerful fighter to assist him.
Inside Kirigakure, in a secluded and dark chamber, Danzo sat alone.
The dim light made his face appear even more gloomy, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.
As I closed my eyes in deep thought, suddenly the air began to tremble.
The next moment, Danzo suddenly opened his eyes, instantly unleashing a sharp and terrifying aura!
Countless Sharingan eyes embedded all over his body opened at the same time, radiating a scarlet and cold light!
The eerie and powerful chakra fluctuations quickly engulfed the entire secret room.
At this moment, Danzo seemed to have returned to his peak condition, even younger and more powerful.
His body was completely strengthened by a strange power, and his cell and muscle structure were constantly being reshaped and renewed, reaching a state no different from that of a thirty-year-old youth, full of vigorous and crazy vitality.
Danzo suddenly reached out and grabbed the Jumang twin swords beside him. With a flash, he moved swiftly through the secret chamber like a ghost.
The blade flashed fiercely, each swing accompanied by a sharp and piercing sound as it cut through the air, and the space around it seemed to distort slightly, as if a ghost or god had descended.
Hiruzen.
teacher.
I will absolutely not lose to you.
The future Hokage of Konoha can only be me!
His movements became even more ferocious, each swing of the blade filled with rage and obsession.
After a period of intense practice, Danzo slowly stopped wielding his twin swords, his eyes regaining their calm and cold expression.
Standing steadily inside the secret room, his gaze was somber as he stared at the faint candlelight flickering on the wall, and began to ponder the latest intelligence coming from the outside world.
Konoha Village has been completely corrupted. The power of the Box of Bliss has spread, plunging the entire village into a bizarre and evil state.
All of this surprised and shocked Danzo. He never expected that Hiruzen, who was always cautious and conservative, would be ahead of him and use Sage Mode and the power of the Sharingan to win over most of the higher-ups in Miyazaki.
The situation in the ninja world is also extremely complex. The Akatsuki organization has risen in the Land of Rain, diverting the attention of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village, while the Hidden Sand Village has chosen to stay out of it, watching coldly and not participating in any actions.
Currently, among all the major forces in the ninja world, it seems that only Kirigakure and Hiruzen himself are capable of standing up to Hiruzen.
Danzo knew that to defeat Hiruzen, who now completely controlled Konoha, he would have to face far more than just Hiruzen himself, but also the core high-ranking officials of Konoha who were in cahoots with Hiruzen.
The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.
Tsunade and Kakashi stood quietly beside Tobirama, their gazes fixed intently on the scene before them.
The barrier outside the clan's territory rippled, and a familiar yet hidden figure silently passed through the layers of barriers, appearing at the edge of Konoha Village.
It's Uchiha Itachi.
It was obvious that he had been waiting on the periphery...
Provide support at any time...
At this moment, Tobirama Senju placed the White Zetsu, the sacrifice used for the Impure World Reincarnation, into the designated location.
The final hand seals for completing the Impure World Reincarnation were formed.
As the ceremony was completed, the earth suddenly trembled, and a coffin slowly rose from the ground.
"Big brother..."
The Impure Earth Reincarnation runes on the coffin gradually shone with a faint light, then slowly faded away.
As the last ray of light completely dissipated, the coffin slowly opened, and the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, stepped onto the earth once more.
Hashirama slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a world that was both familiar and strange.
Wearing ninja attire from the Warring States period and a Konoha headband.
Hashirama Senju's eyes, with a gentle gleam, swept over the people around him.
"Tsunade."
"I never expected to see you again. ::"
A warm feeling welled up in Tsunade's heart: "Grandpa!"
Hashirama smiled and nodded, then his gaze quickly fell on Kakashi and Tobirama, his expression still carrying a gentle smile.
"Tobirama, are there still Uchiha clan members...? It's truly heartwarming to see you all standing together so peacefully!"
Is it harmonious...?
At that moment, Hashirama Senju suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The smile on his face froze instantly, and his gaze pierced through the barrier of the clan's territory, looking towards the distant Konoha Village.
"What is that?!"
Hashirama's smile froze, and his gaze instantly turned gloomy and serious.
The village of Konoha before my eyes has been completely transformed. The entire village is shrouded in a strange and sinister evil energy, and the air is filled with a nauseating stench, as if countless evil spirits and demons are running rampant in the village.
This was the complete opposite of the vibrant and hopeful Konoha Village he remembered; it was like a living hell.
Hashirama stared at the bizarre scene with a grim expression, his voice becoming low and stern: "Tobirama, what exactly is going on?"
What exactly happened to Konoha? Why did it become like this?
Tobirama scoffed, "That's precisely why I had to summon you back to temporarily revive you, brother... the world is already in chaos beyond our imagination."
Then, Tobirama, in a low and serious tone, explained in detail to Hashirama the various strange events that had occurred in Konoha during this period:
"The Uchiha clan suffered a devastating massacre. The monkey used the Sharingan and the evil power of the Elysium Box to completely corrupt the entire Hidden Leaf Village... The Hidden Leaf Village has now become a breeding ground for demons and filth."
Tobirama continued to explain, "Konoha has completely fallen into depravity. Only your intervention, brother, can completely suppress the situation."
After hearing Tobirama's explanation, Hashirama's expression turned even more unpleasant.
He never imagined that the village he had painstakingly built would degenerate to such an irreparable state.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan was wiped out.
He sighed deeply, "How could that monkey...how could he do something so crazy and foolish!"
He looked up again at the polluted Konoha in the distance, and after a moment of contemplation, he finally turned to Tobirama and said in a low but resolute voice:
"Tobirama, prepare for battle!"
"yes!"
As Hashirama Senju finished speaking, the colors of Sage Mode gradually appeared in his eyes, clear and deep.
He gently clasped his hands together and calmly uttered, "The Tree Realm has descended!"
In an instant, a vast expanse of trees rose from the ground like raging waves, and towering giants covered the entire outer barrier of Konoha Village in the blink of an eye.
These trees grew and expanded at an astonishing rate, their branches crisscrossing like countless giant, living hands desperately tearing at the Leaf Village's defensive formation, trying to break through.
Despite the fierce onslaught of trees, an eerie tranquility prevailed within Konoha Village.
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have anticipated this scene.
Calmly putting down the brush in her hand, she said softly to Neji in front of her, "Neji, you should go and rest first."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
At that moment, faint, childlike voices echoed from the direction of the ninja academy, clear and innocent, like a peaceful melody.
But when this childlike singing intertwined with Hashirama's Sage Mode's Aurora Descending, it seemed particularly strange and ironic.
The vibrant trees and the children's innocent singing created an eerie contrast, casting a strange shadow over the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Hiruzen rose unhurriedly and slowly changed into civilian clothes, as if he were making calm and solemn preparations for the upcoming great battle.
The next second, his entire body underwent a sudden and drastic change.
Immortal Technique: Ape Demon Form!
Hiruzen's entire body suddenly grew thick downy hair, and his eyes became even more sharp and piercing.
Shisui and Fugaku's eyes had already returned to their original forms.
The Sharingan slowly rotated, precisely locking onto the positions of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama.
A jet-black chakra rod condensed in the void and landed steadily in Hiruzen's hand.
With light footsteps, they glided across the sky and landed steadily at the entrance of the Thousand Hands Clan's territory in an instant.
They directly stopped the Senju brothers!
"Teachers, it's been a long time..."
Hiruzen smiled faintly, the black staff in his hand reflecting a cold luster, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Hashirama Senju silently gazed at his former disciple and sighed, "Monkey, you've become like this..."
Tobirama narrowed his eyes: "Monkey, you actually chose to come to my door."
"Tobirama-sensei, Hashirama-sensei, since you insist on defying the will of Konoha, then I have no choice but to personally send you back to the Pure Land."
The will to defy Konoha...
These words, coming from Hiruzen's mouth, sounded particularly ironic.
However, Hiruzen transformed into a terrifying celestial ape...:
The black staff in his hand suddenly burst into blazing flames: "Immortal Technique - Samadhi True Fire!"
In an instant, a terrifyingly high temperature swept out, and the raging flames surged like a tide, heading straight for the Thousand Hands Brothers.
Meanwhile, at the Kannakun Bridge, a former secret hiding place, Black Zetsu and Kabuto Yakushi have now arrived.
Kabuto gazed at the corpse of the White Zetsu, who had died from the Impure World Reincarnation, at his feet, and formed hand seals once more.
As a gust of cold wind blew by, a huge coffin slowly rose from the darkness.
The coffin exuded a strong sense of oppression, as if it contained the most terrifying being in the ninja world.
The coffin lid slowly opened, and a tall and majestic figure stepped out.
Madara Uchiha, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, descended upon the world once more, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"It's actually Impure World Reincarnation... instead of Reincarnation and Heaven..."
Madara frowned slightly, glancing at Black Zetsu in the shadows beside him and the strangely shaped Kabuto Yakushi. His voice was low and suppressed: "It seems the plan has gone quite awry..."
Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "Madara, there is indeed some discrepancy..."
"Where's Obito?"
After a moment's hesitation, Zetsu finally answered in a low voice, "Obito is in trouble..."
Before the words were finished, a soft yet icy voice suddenly interrupted: "Oh? What's wrong with me?"
The owner of the voice appeared behind Madara Uchiha without warning. Although his tone was calm, it exuded a chilling and eerie aura.
Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly. He quickly turned around and stared sharply at Obito Uchiha, who had suddenly appeared before him.
At the same time, Black Zetsu and Kabuto Yakushi were on high alert!
Upon noticing the two's reactions, Madara Uchiha realized that his plan had gone wrong.
Obito Uchiha stood still, his back to Madara Uchiha. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his voice low and tinged with sarcasm.
"Madara, you are no longer the protagonist of this era, and the Eye of the Moon Project no longer needs your personal execution..."
"Um?"
Madara Uchiha frowned, sensing something unusual was happening.
He stared intently at Obito before him, his gaze growing increasingly deep and unfathomable: "Obito..."
At this moment, Obito Uchiha finally turned around slowly, revealing his true appearance.
Everyone present suddenly narrowed their eyes!
What came into view was an incredibly bizarre and terrifying face!
It was a face that seemed to have been forcibly pieced together by fate.
Half of his face still resembled Obito Uchiha; but the other half was completely different, a face entirely unlike his own.
Madara Uchiha clearly remembered that the other half of his face had originally been filled in by White Zetsu...
The way this face is pieced together is extremely bizarre.
The crack was as deep as a strange wound.
Although Madara Uchiha didn't recognize who it was, Black Zetsu knew it perfectly well...
"Uchiha Gen..."
Obito Uchiha's expression also became extremely crazed. His eyes, which should have been clear and wise, flashed with extreme madness and distortion, revealing an indescribable morbid and eerie quality.
"What's wrong, Madara? Don't you recognize me?"
"All your schemes are nothing but a fleeting dream; what I seek is true peace and rebirth!"
Even Madara Uchiha fell silent.
I completely don't understand Obito's situation.
"Black Zetsu, is this why you woke me up early?"
Black Zetsu: "...Sigh."
