Reborn as Danzō’s Grandson, Must I Offend the Entire Ninja World?

After releasing Uchiha Madara, Obito left quietly, without any intention of staying to watch him fight.

Neither he nor Uchiha Madara had forgotten that the purpose of restraining Konoha's main force this time was to capture the remaining tailed beasts.

So he had to cross most of the ninja world and quickly capture the tailed beasts at the Nightmare Tapir Gathering Place and the Wet Bone Forest.

As for this battlefield, it was left entirely to Uchiha Madara.

It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, so that no one could compete with him for the control of Project Tsuki no Me.

Obito thought coldly in his heart.

On the battlefield.

Uchiha Madara became the focus of everyone as soon as he appeared.

That chilling aura surged wildly. Even though they knew this was their powerful reinforcement, many ninjas of the alliance still broke out in a cold sweat.

However, Madara did not even glance at them. After emerging from the coffin, his eyes immediately locked onto Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Hikari, and his brows rose slightly.

"This feeling… surpasses incomplete Eternal Mangekyō, but it is not as perfect as a true one. How did you do it?"

Izumi and Hikari both felt their hearts sink at the same time.

This Uchiha Madara… such sharp intuition.

By following Uchiha Shisui's method, and with Yami's help, they had recreated a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan and fused the ocular power of two pairs of Mangekyō.

The ocular power broke through the upper limit as expected, but compared to a true Eternal Mangekyō, it did not have that smooth and seamless feeling.

Just like the complete Susanoo that Hikari used earlier, it could only last for a short time and was still weaker than a true complete form.

"You talk too much nonsense, descendant."

Unable to refute that, Hikari decisively changed her approach and struck back.

"Descendant?"

For a moment, even Uchiha Madara was confused.

This petite girl, with a hairstyle very similar to his and a face that looked like Izuna's, was calling him a junior instead of an elder?

Hikari crossed her arms and said calmly, "You are a descendant of Uchiha Seiji's branch. I still remember that man. He had an arrogant face, but in the end, the Senju clan blew him apart with explosive tags until not even a piece of flesh was left."

After she finished speaking, Uchiha Madara had to think for a long time before recalling who Uchiha Seiji was.

That was his ancestor from three hundred years ago.

"Madara, don't doubt Hikari's words."

Izumi smiled and finished the explanation. "Yami spent a lot of effort to find the clues to the seal and rescued her. In front of her, what are you and I if not descendants?"

"You were sealed for three hundred years?" Madara asked.

"Yes, little Madara." Hikari lifted her delicate chin.

Pff—!

Tsunade could not hold back her laughter first, then Karin and Izumi also burst out laughing.

Even Raikage A could not help but glance at Uchiha Madara with a strange look, and at the same time, he was shocked by Hikari's true identity.

A person from three hundred years ago?

There are so many secrets in this ancient clan.

Whether the ninja world is thrown into chaos or not depends entirely on the expressions of the Senju and Uchiha clans.

"The power of words!"

Fortunately, Madara was an Impure World Reincarnated body and could not blush, otherwise, he would have been red-faced by now.

Even so, his tone was extremely hostile at this moment. "On the battlefield, as long as they are enemies, even father and son will draw their blades against each other. You think an ordinary bloodline relationship after such a long time will make me hold back? That is nothing but a fool's dream!"

"I am just telling you, it is as natural for me to strike you down as it would be to strike down my own son!"

As soon as Hikari's voice fell, several members of the ninja alliance nearby suddenly rushed toward Uchiha Madara!

Madara dealt with them cleanly and quickly, gradually increasing his speed until he began to charge forward.

Hikari controlled the ninja alliance trapped under Eight Thousand Spears to block Madara's path.

"How can a mere grain of sand stop me?"

Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully. To him, the method used by Hikari was childish. He raised his hands, formed seals, and spewed out a catastrophic sea of flames from his mouth.

"Madara! You bastard!"

"They are our comrades! They are just being controlled now, don't kill them!" Raikage shouted at Madara angrily.

"Idiot!"

Madara casually stuck an exploding tag onto a ninja and threw him into the crowd, killing several instantly. Then he looked back at the Raikage.

"They have already become the enemy's weapons. You want me to show mercy to them?"

"What a bunch of trash. If there had been a leader like you during the Sengoku era, your clan would have been destroyed long ago."

After saying that, Madara continued his killing spree, blooming like a blood-red rose on the battlefield.

On the other side of the ridge.

Yami descended from the sky with Kisame.

The situation here was becoming clear.

Of the four Impure World Reincarnated Kage, the Third Raikage and Fourth Kazekage Rasa had already been sealed.

The Second Tsuchikage relied on his elusive invisibility and Dust Release, combined with Hōzuki Gengetsu's illusions and summoned creatures, to temporarily hold his ground against Sasuke.

Naruto was entangled with Ōnoki and Terumi Mei. The experienced Ōnoki was extremely cunning. He knew that even if Naruto went all out, the terrifying chakra consumption would exhaust him, so he stayed within the regular battlefield of the ninja forces.

Naruto, forced into a prolonged battle, had no choice but to exit Kurama's full mode and fight in his golden chakra cloak.

Still lacking experience.

"Is hide-and-seek fun?"

Yami glanced at the restrained Naruto, ignored him, and suddenly appeared next to a member of the Inuzuka clan, extending his pale arm into the void, five fingers grasping downward.

Mu, who was invisible, was pulled out. With a slight force, Yami crushed Mu's head.

Before the reanimated body could recover, black sealing runes spread all over Mu's body, sealing him.

"The Fifth Hokage! This is the Fifth Hokage!"

"The Konoha Shinigami is here!"

A person's reputation spreads like their shadow. With Yami's appearance, fear instinctively gripped the hearts of the ninja alliance.

Because of his presence, Ōnoki and Terumi Mei also ordered their troops to retreat. The battlefield temporarily fell into a tense calm, as if preparing for an even larger eruption.

"Ōnoki, for Kurotsuchi's sake, I can give you one last chance."

The Hokage's divine robe fluttered. Yami's sharp eyebrows curved, his demeanor suddenly softening. "Old man, Kurotsuchi is about to come of age. Why are you still fighting at your age? Why not take care of yourself and wait to see your great-grandchildren in the future?"

Ōnoki swore he was moved for exactly 2.5 seconds before regaining his composure.

Because... he had to protect his village!

"Shimura, stop trying to deceive people here."

Ōnoki spoke loudly, boosting the morale of those around him. "Kurotsuchi is my granddaughter, but I care more about the future of the village and the ninja world. Don't even think about using Kurotsuchi to threaten me!"

Sure enough, many looked at Ōnoki with respect, and their morale immediately rose.

"Lord Ōnoki is right."

Terumi Mei also stood up and licked her beautiful red lips. "Handsome boy, if you weren't from Konoha, marrying you wouldn't be a bad idea."

"What a pity… we can only be enemies now."

"One after another, pretending to be righteous." Yami shook his head helplessly.

Everyone was fighting for their own interests. There was no absolute noble or despicable. Yet people loved to dress their ugly actions in lofty words to make themselves look better.

Is coffee no longer coffee just because you add tea leaves?

"The enemy…"

Yami sighed and looked farther away. "Even if you want to be my enemy, you are not qualified. A more interesting guy is coming."

"Orochimaru-sensei, what surprise do you have for me this time?"

"Yami-kun, rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you this time."

Orochimaru, along with Kabuto and Hiruko, who was covered in bandages, walked forward.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "Rinnegan…"

In Orochimaru's right eye socket, the snake pupil had turned into a Rinnegan. His pitch-black hands had become pale like the rest of his body, making his aura even more sinister.

"Sasuke-kun."

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinnegan with undisguised jealousy and greed.

"It really is enviable. You people with special bloodlines can always easily achieve results others can never reach in their lifetime."

"Then die early."

Sasuke never spares his words. "Try to be reborn as an Uchiha in your next life. Then you can have all of this too."

"Reincarnation? No need for such trouble."

Orochimaru chuckled and shook his head. "My Rinnegan is in my right eye, and yours is in your left. Perhaps fate wants you to be my next reincarnation vessel."

Sasuke looked at him with disdain. "You think you can suppress me with a stolen Rinnegan? If you have the guts, come and try."

"Alright, Sasuke."

Yami raised his hand. "Orochimaru is half my teacher. I know him well. No matter how much I say, I can't change his mind unless he loses control."

Sasuke nodded slightly. "Leave the rest of the small fry to me and Naruto. Keep everyone else back so they don't get caught in it by mistake."

Although it sounded arrogant, it was indeed because there were too many allies present that both he and Naruto were being forced to hold back.

"Sasuke-kun, Uzumaki Naruto, I have also prepared suitable opponents for you."

Five more coffins rose in front of Orochimaru. Everyone was already numb to the constant use of Impure World Reincarnation, but they couldn't think of what trump card Orochimaru had that gave him confidence to fight these two monsters and even Yami.

Soon, the answer appeared.

"Orochimaru!"

The Third Hokage looked at his once most proud disciple angrily. "You actually used the Impure World Reincarnation again!"

The blond Namikaze Minato clearly understood the situation better than him and hurriedly shouted toward Konoha.

"Naruto, Uchiha Madara and Orochimaru took half of Kurama from me and sealed it into a monster's body. You must be careful!"

"Shimura, where is Konan? How is she?" Nagato, leaning weakly on the coffin, asked loudly.

The scene became chaotic for a moment.

The only ones who remained unaffected were the other two people summoned by Orochimaru.

One had an extremely handsome face, while the other had a calm and steady demeanor.

The two of them stared into each other's eyes from the moment they appeared, not tolerating anyone else.

"Konan is fine. She is now in Iwagakure, helping me lead a surprise attack on the enemy's base," Yami explained to Nagato.

"That's good."

Nagato was relieved knowing that Konan had not been harmed by Madara and had not clashed with Yami.

But others were in a panic.

Ōnoki fell from the sky in shock and asked, "Shimura, what do you mean by that?"

"He said Konan is attacking Iwa." Minato helpfully repeated.

"Don't say another word!" Ōnoki shouted, then glared angrily at Yami. "Hokage, you are despicable!"

"Hokage?!"

Before Yami could answer, Hiruzen, struggling against Orochimaru, looked over in disbelief.

"The new Hokage… is you?!"

"What about Jiraiya? Even if he didn't become Hokage, he would have brought Tsunade back. Why did you become Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was heartbroken. "I knew it. I knew you would only bring war and disaster. In such a short time, Konoha has become the enemy of the ninja world. Shimura Yami, you are Konoha's sinner!"

"You and Orochimaru joined forces to kill me. I do not blame you, but you should not have dragged Konoha down with you!"

Yami narrowed his eyes, the temperature around him dropping sharply.

Perfect. That tone was just right.

Every time he heard Hiruzen's hypocritical, self-righteous words, he became furious.

"Am I not a good Hokage?" Yami picked at his ear and looked at the subordinates behind him.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama! You are the best Hokage!"

"Hokage-sama, these words are Orochimaru's slander! He controlled the Third to say these things."

Facing Yami's question, Konoha's ninjas all rushed to express their loyalty, their words full of gratitude.

Even though Yami did not usually intervene in everything, even fools could feel the changes in Konoha.

The middle and lower level ninjas now had an upward path and could learn many more jutsu than before. The higher level ninjas had gained power rather than just being tools like under the Third Hokage.

Most importantly, they no longer had to worry about being feared and ending up like the Uchiha or Hatake.

Because their Hokage, with just his fingers, could crush them.

Moreover, in this situation, they were expanding their territory!

If the ninja world truly unified, Konoha would gain even greater benefits. They would no longer have to worry about resources or the safety of their descendants.

Thinking about stopping Konoha's expansion?

Not to mention that it was only the Third Hokage who appeared, even if the First Hokage came back, the ninjas would not acknowledge him!

"Did you hear that?"

Yami spread his hands toward Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was trembling with anger. "The people are with me, Old Man. I have done you a favor by not removing you as a stain on the Hokage name.

How dare you slander me!"

The young man suddenly clenched his right fist and raised it high above his head.

Golden light burst forth, forming a thousand-meter-long giant blade that swept across the mountain range!

Boom!

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, several mountaintops were flattened.

On the other side of the mountain, Uchiha Madara, who was fighting two Susanoos alone, suddenly turned his head and looked at Yami floating in the air, slowly lowering his arm.

"Shimura, do you want to dance too?"
