Chapter 297: Uchiha Madara Makes an Entrance
Chapter 297: Uchiha Madara Makes an Entrance
The greatest regret of Orochimaru's life was summoning Uchiho Gennetsu from the dead with the Impure World Reincarnation technique during the Chunin Exams.
Without Uchiho Gennetsu, Sasuke would have been his; without him, he wouldn't have died, and his subordinates like Kabuto Yakushi and his life's work wouldn't have been destroyed. Without Uchiho Gennetsu, he would have continued his quest for eternal life instead of bargaining with death here.
How he regretted his past actions!
At this moment, Orochimaru's smile was stiff and ugly as he was reminded of his scars by Tobirama Senju.
Ai, Sekikawa, Rettou, and Byakuren also looked grim after hearing Tobirama's explanation.
Could it be that Uchiho Gennetsu had been reincarnated?
Had anyone in the ninja world achieved this in all these years?
No one, not even the Sage of Six Paths, could escape death.
Yet, Uchiho Gennetsu had done it.
No wonder the five great ninja villages and even the entire ninja world were now in peril.
Uchiho Gennetsu must still hold a grudge about the battle at the Valley of the End.
Additionally, when the ninja villages were established, he had often criticized the outdated systems and the distribution of power, even suggesting unification.
Now, as an enemy of the five great ninja villages, his ultimate goal must be to realize his vision!
Uchiho Gennetsu's motives were clear.
Coupled with his unimaginable talent and strength, he was a formidable force.
The four Kage exchanged glances, and the weight of the situation settled on them.
"We must not allow Uchiho Gennetsu to become the ruler of this era!" Ai clenched his fists and spoke with gravity.
Time couldn't be reversed, and discussing whether the battle at the Valley of the End should have happened was pointless now. The lines had been drawn, and they had to stand by their choices.
Since Uchiho Gennetsu could die once, he could die again. They refused to believe that he could come back for a third time.
The four Kage present were all individuals with exceptional decisiveness and drive. Understanding the deep conflict between Uchiho Gennetsu and the ninja villages they had founded, they all nodded resolutely.
So be it, they would fight another battle at the Valley of the End, even if it meant fighting the dead.
They would give it their all to prevent Uchiho Gennetsu from overthrowing the ninja world order and destroying the peace!
Seeing that the four Kage had come to this resolution on their own, and that there was no need for further explanation, Tobirama Senju nodded in agreement.
As expected of the four Kage who had ended the Warring States period alongside his older brother, their understanding of the situation was profound.
However, it seemed that the four Kage, and not just them, but many people in the five great ninja villages, misunderstood Uchiho Gennetsu's intentions. They believed that his goal in becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails was to conquer the ninja world.
But Tobirama Senju, after analyzing Uchiho Gennetsu's actions over the years, had a different perspective.
In his opinion, conquering the ninja world was not Uchiho Gennetsu's objective.
On the contrary, becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails had been his true purpose from the very beginning.
Everything else was secondary.
However, there was no point in discussing these speculations.
Regardless of Uchiho Gennetsu's true motive, for the sake of ensuring that the future foreseen by the Great Toad Sage did not come to pass, they had to eliminate this formidable threat to the ninja world.
Subsequently, Orochimaru released the four Kage from their binds, restoring their freedom.
When they heard that the next step was to resurrect the second-generation leaders of the four great ninja villages, the four Kage did not leave but chose to wait.
Tobirama Senju paid it no mind. Having four additional Kage present could be helpful, as it meant he wouldn't have to explain everything all over again to the second generation.
Kabuto Yakushi completed the preparations, and Orochimaru glanced at the DNA samples of the Second Mizukage, Second Kazekage, Second Tsuchikage, and finally, the Second Raikage, before forming the Impure World Reincarnation hand seals with a monotonous expression.
After a flash of white light...
The Second Tsuchikage, Sansho, with a tattoo of a green dragon and black claws on his head and right eye; the Second Mizukage, Hotaru Hagoromo, with no eyebrows and a distinctive goatee; the Second Kazekage, Mu, wrapped from head to toe in bandages; and the Second Raikage...
Wait, something was wrong with the Second Raikage.
Orochimaru's eyes swept the area casually, and as he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
The person in question also sensed that something was wrong.
"Is this Impure World Reincarnation?"
A man with shoulder-length black hair, dressed in a black bodysuit with red layered armor, known as Uchiha Madara, looked down at his cracked hands and furrowed his brows in confusion.
What were Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito up to? According to the plan, he should have been resurrected using the Reincarnation Heavenly Birth Technique.
Why was he now resurrected using Impure World Reincarnation and appearing before these people?
Uchiha Madara casually scanned the crowd, his eyes resting on Senju Tobirama for a moment before he coldly huffed and averted his gaze, ignoring everyone present as he continued to ponder the situation.
However, while he ignored those present, they could not ignore him!
Mu, the closest to Madara, had not even figured out what was happening when he suddenly noticed Madara. His expression changed drastically, and he unconsciously shifted his position, his guard immediately up.
He was all too familiar with Madara's domineering and formidable nature.
Not just Mu, but the four First Generation leaders, including Senju Hashirama, had their pupils suddenly contract.
"Uchiha Madara!"
They never expected that Uchiha Madara would be resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation.
"Shouldn't the Second Raikage be the one resurrected? How is it this guy?" The First Raikage, Ay, scanned Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi with a questioning gaze.
He had been looking forward to meeting the Second Raikage.
Now, the only surprise was with the Second Generation.
Orochimaru remained silent.
In the instant he recognized Uchiha Madara, he suddenly thought of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
Sensing that something was very wrong, Orochimaru's lips twitched, and he quickly retreated, not caring about his dignity as he hid behind the others.
On the other hand, as a dead man, Kabuto Yakushi, who didn't mind dying again, was quite interested in examining Uchiha Madara before him.
Including Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Senju Hashirama, whom he had seen earlier, he had now laid eyes on all three of the Sengoku Three Legends.
Hearing the First Raikage's question, Kabuto pushed up his glasses and smiled as he spread his hands, explaining, "From the moment I received the Second Raikage's DNA sample, it has never left my sight. It must have been switched with another sample before that."
Beside them, Senju Tobirama, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Madara, drew out his Flying Thunder God Kunai. In a calm tone, he added, "Uchiha Madara's body has long since disappeared, and the five great ninja villages do not have his DNA sample. Even if they did, it would be impossible to resurrect him using Impure World Reincarnation."
The five great ninja villages had specific criteria for selecting candidates for Impure World Reincarnation.
First, they had to be strong.
Second, they must have been on the side of the five great ninja villages.
To resurrect their past enemies would be akin to creating trouble for themselves.
The five great ninja villages were not foolish.
No one would think of summoning Uchiha Madara, who had betrayed Konoha and was once on par with Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
Therefore, it had to be the doing of an outsider!
