Naruto: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 297: The Appearance of Uchiha Madara

Orochimaru's biggest regret in his life was resurrecting Hagoromo Gengetsu during the Chūnin Exams. Without Hagoromo Gengetsu, Sasuke would be his; without Hagoromo Gengetsu, he wouldn't have died, and Kabuto and his other subordinates wouldn't have been destroyed; without Hagoromo Gengetsu, he would have continued to explore the secrets of immortality rather than negotiating under duress here.

Regret for the past!

Orochimaru's smile became rigid and ugly when Senju Tobirama exposed his wounds.

After hearing Senju Tobirama's explanation, A, Ishikawa, Reto, and Byakuren's faces were equally grim.

Hagoromo Gengetsu was able to live a second life?

Has anyone in the ninja world done this before?

No!

Even the Sage of Six Paths had a day of death.

But Hagoromo Gengetsu accomplished it.

No wonder the five great ninja villages and the entire ninja world are in jeopardy now.

It seems Hagoromo Gengetsu never forgot the battle of Valley of the Gods.

Additionally, when the ninja villages were established, he often criticized the backwardness and authority of the village system and spoke about unification.

Now, opposing the five great ninja villages is definitely to implement his ideology!

Hagoromo Gengetsu's motivation became clear.

Combined with his power supported by unimaginable talent, everything made sense to the four original Hokage.

"We absolutely cannot let Hagoromo Gengetsu become the ruler of this era!"

A clenched his fists and said seriously.

Time cannot be turned back; discussing whether the battle of Valley of the Gods should have happened is pointless now.

The factions have been divided, and now everyone must stick to their choice.

Since Hagoromo Gengetsu could die once, he can die a second time.

He doesn't believe the other side can live a third life.

The original Hokage present are all people of decisive action.

Hearing A's words, and knowing the significant conflicts between Hagoromo Gengetsu and the villages they established, they all decisively nodded.

Then let's have another battle of Valley of the Gods.

After all, they are already dead.

They must give their all to prevent Hagoromo Gengetsu from overthrowing the ninja world order and destroying its peace!

Seeing that he didn't need to continue explaining, and the four original Hokage had made up their minds, Senju Tobirama also nodded.

No wonder they ended the Warring States period together with his brother, their awareness is indeed high.

However, the four original Hokage seemed to have misunderstood something.

Of course, it's not just them; many in the five great ninja villages believe Hagoromo Gengetsu's goal as the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki is to conquer the ninja world.

Senju Tobirama, after analyzing Hagoromo Gengetsu's behavior over the years, has a different view.

In his opinion, conquering the ninja world is not Hagoromo Gengetsu's goal.

On the contrary, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki has always been his sole objective.

As for other things, they were just incidental.

But saying this is meaningless.

Regardless of the objective, to prevent the future foreseen by the Great Toad Sage, they must eliminate Hagoromo Gengetsu, the great threat to the ninja world.

During the subsequent time, Orochimaru lifted the constraints on the four original Hokage, returning their freedom.

Upon hearing they would revive their successors, the second-generation leaders of the four great ninja villages, the four didn't leave but waited.

Senju Tobirama didn't mind.

Having the four original Hokage here is good; at least he won't have to explain everything again to the second-generation leaders.

The process remained the same as before.

Kabuto prepared everything. Orochimaru glanced at the DNA samples of the Second Kazekage, Second Mizukage, Second Tsuchikage, and finally, the Second Raikage, and then monotonously formed the hand seals for the Reanimation.

Having performed this technique many times in a short period and seen many historical figures, he wasn't particularly excited about the upcoming four second-generation leaders.

Soon, the sound of paper scraps fluttering was heard again.

After a flash of white light.

The Second Kazekage Shamon, with a tattoo of a green dragon and black claws on his head and right eye; the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki, with no eyebrows and a handlebar mustache; the Second Tsuchikage Mu, wrapped in bandages; and the Second Raikage.

Wait?

Why doesn't this look like the Second Raikage?

Orochimaru casually glanced around and suddenly noticed something was wrong when he looked back.

The person involved also sensed something was wrong.

"Is this... Reanimation?"

Wearing a black bodysuit with red layered armor on the outside and long, thick black hair down to his shoulders, Uchiha Madara looked down at his cracked hands and frowned.

What are Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu doing?

According to the plan, he should have been revived with the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu.

Why has it become Reanimation, and why is he in front of these people?

Uchiha Madara casually glanced at the people present, his gaze lingering on Senju Tobirama for a moment, then snorted coldly, shifted his gaze away, and continued pondering, ignoring everyone present.

However, he ignored the people present, but the people present couldn't ignore him!

Mu, the closest, didn't have time to figure out what happened. The moment he noticed Uchiha Madara, his face changed drastically, and he instinctively moved aside, full of vigilance.

Mu deeply understood Uchiha Madara's domineering and strength.

Not only Mu, but the pupils of the four original Hokage, including Senju Tobirama, also shrank suddenly.

"Uchiha Madara!"

They never expected Uchiha Madara to be resurrected with the Reanimation.

"Shouldn't the Reanimation be for the Second Raikage? How did it become this guy?" The First Raikage A glanced at Orochimaru and Kabuto and questioned.

He had been looking forward to meeting the second-generation leader.

Now, the only unexpected situation occurred with the second-generation leader.

Orochimaru didn't respond.

The moment he recognized Uchiha Madara, he suddenly thought of Hagoromo Gengetsu from back then.

Feeling something was very wrong, he quickly retreated without any regard for his dignity, hiding behind the others.

In contrast, Kabuto, being a dead man himself, had no fear of dying again and looked at Uchiha Madara with great interest.

Counting Hagoromo Gengetsu and having seen Senju Hashirama earlier, he had now seen all three of the Warring States Era's greatest figures in person.

Hearing the First Raikage's question, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and shrugged with a smile:

"Since I took over the Second Raikage's DNA sample, it has never left my sight. It must have been switched earlier."

Senju Tobirama, eyes fixed on Uchiha Madara, drew his Flying Thunder God Kunai and calmly added:

"Uchiha Madara's body has long disappeared, and the five great ninja villages don't have his DNA sample. Even if they did, they couldn't have used the Reanimation on him."

The five great ninja villages have conditions for selecting targets for Reanimation.

Strong power is necessary.

Additionally, the target must be from their side.

Reincarnating past enemies would only cause trouble for themselves.

The five great ninja villages aren't foolish.

No one would think of summoning Uchiha Madara, who betrayed Konoha and was once as famous as Hagoromo Gengetsu.

So, it must have been done by outsiders!
