บท 279: The Resurrection of Madara
Sure enough.
With Dan's reminder, Tsunade snapped back to reality.
It turned out that all of this was Sarutobi Hiruzen's doing.
In an instant, overwhelming rage brewed within Tsunade, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
"That old bastard..."
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, drawing blood. She wanted nothing more than to hunt down and kill Sarutobi Hiruzen right now.
In the past, she left Konoha in despair after the deaths of her brother Nawaki and her lover Dan Katō. Her departure was also fueled by her dissatisfaction with the Konoha high command, which the Third Hokage led.
However, Hiruzen had been her mentor. Despite her grievances against him, she chose to endure.
But this time, Tsunade had reached her limit.
Hiruzen had not only desecrated and exploited the dead for his own reinstatement, but the deceased he used was none other than the two people Tsunade revered the most: the First and Second Hokage.
Now, the reputation of both men and the Senju clan had been utterly ruined by Hiruzen, who lurked in the shadows.
"I've already instructed the ANBU and the Uchiha clan to form a special task force to track down Sarutobi Hiruzen and his accomplices. Don't worry, the Uchiha respect the Senju. They will thwart Hiruzen's schemes and ensure the two Hokages' souls can rest in peace," Dan said, his eyes glinting.
"If you find Hiruzen's whereabouts, can you notify me immediately?" Tsunade asked seriously, making a rare request.
"Of course," Dan replied readily, then added, "In fact, I plan to leave Hiruzen to you. Can you handle it?"
Tsunade remained silent for a few seconds, then firmly said, "I will make sure he dies by my hand."
"Good." Dan smiled, satisfied with her response.
"And... thank you," Tsunade added.
Dan looked surprised. "Thank you? I already told you. You're family, as Marissa and Hagoromo's godmother. There's no need for thanks."
"..." Tsunade was at a loss for words. She couldn't argue with that, so she changed the subject, "By the way, with everything that's happened, the Chūnin Exams will have to be canceled, right?"
Dan shook his head, smiling mysteriously, "No, they will continue as planned. All the major ninja villages have already arrived. Canceling the exams over this would be unreasonable. Besides, there are still many 'fish' that haven't surfaced yet. Things are going to get even more interesting."
"More fish? Who? The Akatsuki?" Tsunade asked instinctively, thinking of Karin and the complex emotions that stirred within her. She wondered how the child was doing.
However, Dan shook his head, "No, I wasn't referring to the Akatsuki. I was talking about your old friend, Orochimaru."
Tsunade was shocked by the name, and Dan continued, "There are spies sent by Orochimaru operating secretly in the village. Also, don't forget that Sarutobi Hiruzen isn't the only one who knows the Reanimation Jutsu. Orochimaru has been studying it longer, and even our clan's use of the Reanimation Jutsu came from copying his research."
Tsunade's expression turned grave.
She knew Orochimaru too well. He was like a sinister serpent, lurking in the shadows, ready to strike fatally. He was even more dangerous than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"If Orochimaru has also mastered the Reanimation Jutsu, who would he resurrect?" Tsunade pondered, then her eyes widened in shock as she realized, "Could it be..."
"That's right, that person—Madara Uchiha."
...
Somewhere in the ninja world.
In a remote, rarely visited forest, an antenna device was discreetly installed atop a tree, extending underground.
In the hidden underground hideout, a television receiving the signal displayed the Konoha news logo, followed by breaking news about the First and Second Hokages' invasion of Konoha.
Orochimaru, Black Zetsu, and Kisame watched the news, each with their own thoughts.
"It's time," Black Zetsu said after a moment of silence, turning to Orochimaru. "Since the First and Second Hokage have been resurrected, we can't fall behind. We must revive Madara Uchiha immediately, or we'll miss our chance."
Orochimaru's eyes flickered under the pressure of their gazes. Finally, he shrugged and spread his hands, "Alright, as you wish."
He knew he couldn't delay any longer.
With confidence from years of research and perfecting the Reanimation Jutsu, Orochimaru agreed to Black Zetsu's request.
The wall behind them opened with a rumble, revealing a secret room.
The floor was covered in complex seals, and a tall White Zetsu lay peacefully sleeping in the center.
This White Zetsu was not a mere clone but a high-grade one prepared by Black Zetsu, perfect for the Reanimation Jutsu.
Taking a deep breath, Orochimaru swiftly formed hand seals and then slammed his palm onto the ground, injecting chakra into the seal.
"Reanimation Jutsu!"
With a hiss, countless dust flew toward the White Zetsu, causing it to wake up and struggle violently. But its fate was already sealed.
After a while, the White Zetsu stopped struggling. The seal erased its consciousness, and the dust transformed its appearance.
A man slowly stood up from the ground.
He was about six feet tall, wearing red armor in a style reminiscent of the Warring States period, with wild black hair and a stern expression. A pair of crimson Sharingan eyes gleamed in his gaze.
He exuded an aura of both overwhelming power and ruthless coldness.
Madara Uchiha was revived.
At that moment, Orochimaru, Black Zetsu, and Kisame watched nervously, waiting for Madara's first words.
Hmm?
Madara looked at his body, noticing the cracks resembling porcelain. He frowned, muttering, "What is going on? Did Obito fail, resorting to this method to revive me? This technique must be the Reanimation Jutsu invented by that dark Tobirama Senju, hmph..."
His disdainful chuckle indicated his dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Orochimaru smiled playfully and explained, "Don't worry, I've improved the Second Hokage's technique. This Reanimation Jutsu was specially prepared for you, allowing your power to surpass even your prime."
Oh?
Madara looked at Orochimaru, and then his eyes sharpened, releasing an overwhelming pressure that crashed onto Orochimaru like a tidal wave.
"Have you ever seen my prime?" Madara said disdainfully, his tone like that of a god.
In an instant, Orochimaru felt like a massive mountain was pressing down on him. The air around him seemed to harden like stone, suffocating him.
Just a glance from Madara immobilized him. How was this possible?
Orochimaru was terrified. This was the power of Madara Uchiha?
Fortunately, he had prepared meticulously for years to prevent such an occurrence.
The next second, Orochimaru unleashed a surge of chakra, temporarily breaking free from Madara's oppressive force.
"Madara, you may have forgotten that a resurrected person is merely my puppet. No matter how strong you were in life, you must obey me now!"
Orochimaru sneered, forming hand seals to erase Madara's consciousness, leaving only a powerful body.
However, Madara responded with laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
Madara laughed as if he had heard a joke. His eyes then turned into the Rinnegan.
He shattered the Reanimation Jutsu's restraints with an immense burst of ocular power, nullifying the technique.
Orochimaru's years of careful preparation were rendered useless.
"No..."
Orochimaru began to speak, but Madara moved instantly, appearing before him with a cold expression.
With a swift thrust, Madara's hand, now holding a chakra rod, pierced Orochimaru's heart.
"You know nothing of the Rinnegan's power. But thanks to your foolishness, I am revived."
Madara taunted, withdrawing the rod as Orochimaru fell lifelessly at his feet.
"How... terrifying," Kisame muttered, his eyes wide with shock and his back covered in cold sweat.
Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin and a figure who had dominated the ninja world for years had died like a dog before Madara.
Madara didn't even bother to learn his name—he was nothing more than an ant.
Throughout this, Black Zetsu remained cold and detached, making no effort to stop either Orochimaru's foolish actions or Madara's killing blow.
To Black Zetsu, Orochimaru was merely a tool. With the task of reviving Madara complete, he was of no further use.
Stepping over Orochimaru's corpse, Madara glanced at Black Zetsu, his face filled with displeasure.
"What is Obito doing? Why didn't he have Nagato use the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu to revive me as planned?"
Black Zetsu, who was Madara's will incarnate, was the only one he could trust completely after his revival.
"Unfortunately, Obito is dead, and Nagato didn't survive either," Black Zetsu sighed.
Madara's brow furrowed, "How did they die?"
He had personally transplanted Hashirama cells into Obito, taught him Uchiha secrets and Six Paths techniques, and knew that Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan ability, Kamui, was nearly invincible.
So, he entrusted his plan to Obito.
As for Nagato, with his Rinnegan, he should have been unbeatable in the ninja world.
But now, Black Zetsu claimed that both had perished.
Madara, shocked and angry, was also deeply puzzled.
Facing Madara's questioning, Black Zetsu bluntly answered:
"The same person killed both Obito and Nagato. And interestingly, he's from your clan. His name is Uchiha Dan..."
Black Zetsu then recounted the major events that transpired in the ninja world after Madara's death, especially focusing on Dan's rise.
From single-handedly killing tens of thousands of the Allied Shinobi Forces, ruling Konoha as Hokage, awakening the Rinnegan, to now collecting the Tailed Beasts to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.
"Uchiha... Dan."
Madara muttered the name, even though he was astonished by Dan's exploits.
Unexpectedly, another Uchiha had awakened the Rinnegan after him and followed the same path toward becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.
"Is this Uchiha Dan also pursuing the Moon's Eye Plan after reading the tablet at the Naka Shrine?" Madara asked, sensing the importance.
If Dan shared his goal, he wouldn't be an enemy.
"Lord Madara, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Black Zetsu said slowly, shaking his head. "Recently, I infiltrated the Naka Shrine and discovered the tablet had been tampered with. Uchiha Dan clearly has his own plans, disregarding the Moon's Eye Plan left by the Sage of Six Paths."
In truth, when Black Zetsu learned Dan had awakened the Rinnegan, it was both a shock and a delight.
After a thousand years of manipulating the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, only during the generation of Madara and Hashirama did a Rinnegan finally emerge.
The Rinnegan was the key to reviving Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Another Rinnegan bearer in the ninja world increased the chances of her revival.
Moreover, Black Zetsu believed that with the Rinnegan, Dan would read the Naka Shrine tablet and uncover the Moon's Eye Plan.
However, Dan was too clever. He detected the tablet's altered contents and replaced the Moon's Eye Plan with his "God of Muscles."
This infuriated Black Zetsu and made it anxious, prompting the immediate resurrection of Madara.
