Chapter 162 Uchiha Madara, Accept the Challenge
"You're leaving the village?"
Looking at Danzo who came to him with his guards, Nara Shikasui looked confused.
"You are now the acting Hokage. If you leave the village, there are some things..."
Although he really hoped that Danzo, a hawk, would leave the center of power, the war had already begun and it would obviously not be beneficial to Konoha's interests if Danzo left at this moment.
Therefore, Nara Shikasui still tried to dissuade the man in front of him.
"Don't worry, Lu Shui, someone will take care of the village's affairs."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Danzo turned sideways to reveal the figure behind him who was hidden in a black robe.
"Who is this......"
Nara Shikasui looked at Danzo with some confusion.
“Hahaha, Lu Shui, don’t be nervous, it’s me.”
A familiar voice sounded, and the person who came lifted up his black robe, revealing the iconic Hokage robe.
"Three, Sandaime-sama!"
Nara Shikasui obviously did not expect that the person coming would be Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Silence."
Seeing Nara Shikasui's surprised expression, Danzo reminded him.
"Oh, yes, I see."
Nara Shikasui was so smart that just by seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, he had guessed about 70% of the two's plan in his mind.
"Transformation."
The smoke cleared, and Sarutobi Hiruzen transformed into Danzo.
"I won't interfere too much with your plans. Lu Shui, you don't have to be nervous. Just follow the strategy you have formulated."
"Yes!"
Forcing himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, Nara Shikasui continued with his job.
"What you are going to do is very important, right?"
Looking at the busy Nara Shikasui, Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered to Danzo beside him.
Danzo did not tell the other party about Uchiha Madara, otherwise, according to the personality of this old friend, he would definitely want to go there in person.
Danzo didn't even mention the first and second generation of the Impure World Reincarnation.
He simply told Hiruzen that he would be out of the village for a while and that the village needed his help to maintain it.
"Humph, instead of worrying about this, you should think about how to pretend to be more convincing so as to hide it from those two guys Xiaochun and Yan."
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was still trying to get information from him, Danzo snorted coldly and spoke sarcastically.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. I know what kind of person you are."
He just laughed and was not angry.
Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen use his own face to make the other's signature smile, Danzo felt a chill run down his spine.
"Don't make that face, it's weird."
"Haha, okay, okay."
"You still do it?!"
......
"Be safe."
Seeing that Danzo was really irritated, Sarutobi Hiruzen put away his smile and his expression became serious.
"Humph, I know it without you having to tell me."
Faced with the concern of his old friend, Danzo did not appreciate it:
"You should be careful not to ruin my plan."
"I know."
Nodding, Sarutobi Hiruzen indicated that he understood.
Seeing this, Danzo snorted again and turned to leave.
"Danzo."
However, he was stopped by Hiruzen again.
"what happened?"
"After this war, let's retreat together and take a rest."
After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo with eyes full of anticipation.
"Look, we can go to the Land of Hot Springs to soak in the hot springs, and to the Land of Iron to see the snow. We have already paid too much for the village, and it is time to hand over the stage to the young people."
[You, have you ever thought about passing the position of Hokage to me? ]
Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Danzo couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Although he has lost his obsession with the position of Hokage, he still somewhat longs to see his portrait carved on the Shadow Rock.
"Well, we'll talk about it if you can survive the war."
After saying this, Danzo left the Hokage's office without looking back.
......
The kingdom of grass, deep underground.
Although he had fallen into a deep sleep, the old Uchiha Madara was still keenly aware of the familiar chakra coming from above his head.
"Hassi hot mom?"
One of the chakras was very familiar to him.
He was his best friend, confidant, former confidant, and fellow traveler.
He is also the one who hurts himself the most.
"Hey, is this true? Is it that Hashirama?"
The swirling White Zetsu let out a contrived exclamation.
"Do you need to hide for a while, Master Madara?"
Black Zetsu who was possessed by White Zetsu who had half of his face asked Qiban.
"That's not necessary. Tobirama is here too. I have to admit, this kid has a very strong sense."
Uchiha Madara slowly shook his head.
With Tobirama around, he had nowhere to hide.
But how did these two brothers come back to life?
Could it be Nagato...
That shouldn't be the case. According to the information passed back by White Zetsu who was responsible for monitoring him, Nagato has never used the ability of the Rinnegan since he went to Konoha.
According to his original plan, he should have found a suitable chess piece to induce Nagato to accept the Rinnegan and then resurrect himself.
But now, let alone chess pieces, Madara doesn't even have a like-minded comrade.
Just as he had been when he left Konoha, Madara was still alone.
"Well, Black Zetsu, if I don't come back alive, you go find the right chess piece and guide Nagato to revive me."
Using his sickle to stand up from the stone bench, Madara tried to shake his stiff body.
"Please, Madara-sama."
A White Zetsu took out a Sharingan from the shelf at the right time and handed it to Madara.
He reached out and placed the Sharingan into the empty eye socket. Soon, the Sharingan began to emit a charming red light again.
"Although it is a body that is extremely decayed, but..."
Trembling and breaking free from the connection with the Outer Path Statue, Uchiha Madara reached out for the fan.
"The upcoming battle still makes my blood boil."
"Yeah, Hasi hot mom."
As Uchiha Madara finished speaking, dozens of figures appeared in this underground world.
"Madara, you really are still alive."
Senju Hashirama looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Is this conspirator living in the dark underground world still the Madara he knows?
"Humph, Uchiha Madara, it's really pathetic that you're barely surviving like this."
Unlike his brother, although Senju Tobirama felt a little sad in his heart, he still spoke mercilessly.
"White Zetsu."
Without paying attention to the ridicule of Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara called over the swirling White Zetsu.
Uzumaki White Zetsu understood what he meant and simply opened his body to wrap Uchiha Madara inside.
"You two brothers are in this state, you must be reincarnated."
Feeling the vitality surging in his body again, Uchiha Madara's tone gradually returned to arrogance.
Looking at the two men's gloomy faces and their chakra which was much weaker than at their peak, Uchiha Madara easily guessed their current state.
"Who is the one who performed the technique? Abusing forbidden techniques is not a good thing."
