August 9th, Fire Country, Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Office.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Hiruzen Sarutobi held a cigarette pot in his mouth, quietly looking at the peaceful and beautiful Konoha Village outside the window, his brows furrowed.

Twenty years have passed since the era of peace. During this period, the Country of Fire has provided Konoha with the most resources with its huge and fertile land, making Konoha undisputedly the strongest among the five ninja villages.

The Ninja Village ranked first, but this did not deter the surrounding hostile forces, but made them more and more ready to take action.

Now he feels like the calm before the storm. The more beautiful everything seems at this moment, the more cruel and bloody it is when the storm comes.

At this moment, an ANBU ninja suddenly broke into the office, knelt down half-kneeling, held a scroll with both hands, and said: "Urgent secret, the highest level, from Uzushio Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll unhurriedly and said to him: "Thank you for your hard work, let's get down."

After the ninja left the office, Hiruzen opened the scroll and read the contents carefully with a frown.

------------------

Is this old man Uzumaki Ashina confused? What is written here?

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. Ashina had the habit of writing to him frequently. Although it was all boring and trivial matters, in order to maintain the relationship between the allies, he still patiently and seriously replied to the other party for comfort.

However, as Ashina gets older and older, what he writes becomes more and more confusing. Sometimes even he can't understand what the other person wants to express, but he can only pretend that he didn't see it.

For example, the letter in my hand is very incomprehensible, and it was sent through the highest-level secret channel. It is a waste of resources.

He threw the scroll into the trash can, Hiruzen stretched his body, pressed his increasingly painful waist, sat down and continued to give instructions on documents, and was busy until late at night.

Hiruzen, who finally finished his day's work, took off his Hokage robe and put on casual clothes, walking on the spacious streets of Konoha, enjoying the rare leisure time.

As I walked, my thoughts began to wander, and I couldn't help but think of the confidential document sent from Uzushio Village.

What is said above is really ridiculous. Uchiha Madara is resurrected? He is hiding in Uzushio Village?

Uchiha Madara's death was confirmed by Hashirama, and he even buried him in the dense forest with his own hands. Everyone knows this. How could another Uchiha Madara appear?

Although the credibility of what was written above was very low, but now that I think about it carefully, as the guardian of Konoha Village, no matter how small the danger is, we should confirm and eliminate it, so he shook his head and headed in a certain direction.

Go.

That's all, just think of it as taking a walk.

The place where Uchiha Madara is buried is known to no one except the previous Hokages. Because this type of top-level secret will only be opened to you after you inherit the Hokage.

So he knew where the burial location was, but he never thought of confirming anything.

If it hadn't been for that letter, he might never have come to see it in this life. After all, the fear Uchiha Madara brought to Konoha was still fresh in his memory. Even then, he was just a child, and he only knew the legendary ninja.

Can look up.

It didn't take long for him to follow the route in his memory and find the place where Uchiha Madara was buried. However, what shocked him was that the grave had been dug up and the entire coffin was exposed without any cover.

Who is it? Is it Danzo?!

The first thing he thought of was this possibility, because Danzo was the most likely to dig up Uchiha Madara's body and study the secret of why he was so powerful.

However, after some inspections, he quickly ruled out this possibility because the entire coffin had completely rotted. It had not been soaked by rain for decades, so it would have been impossible to have this situation.

In other words, Uchiha Madara’s body had disappeared a long time ago.

Or there is another possibility that he was not dead at all. Not long after he was buried here, he woke up from the coffin and left on his own.

Only in this way can we explain what happened to the letter from Uzushio Village.

Could it be that Uchiha Madara is really still alive?!

This guess made Hiruzen break into a cold sweat. He still remembered that after Madara rebelled against the village, he prepared for several years and controlled the Nine-Tails just to take revenge on Konoha. If it weren't for the invincible Senju at that time

Hashirama stops it, otherwise Konoha Village will suffer huge losses.

So what has Madara Uchiha prepared for Konoha now after decades of preparation?!

He didn't believe that Uchiha Madara stayed in Uzushio Village to plot against this small Ninja Village. With his strength, he could easily wipe out such a Ninja Village. He must have a greater purpose, and with his

Based on his analysis of his character, habits and thoughts, Konoha Village is very likely to be his ultimate goal!

Hiruzen could no longer keep calm and hurried back. He rushed into the Hokage building, pushed open the door of the office, and found the scroll that he had ignored from the trash can.

The further he turned back, the more Hiruzen's brows tightened. What was said above shocked him greatly.

Samsara Eye?!

Did I read that correctly?!

When did Uchiha Madara actually come up with a legendary artifact like the Rinnegan?!

Does this kind of thing really exist in reality? Shouldn't it be a myth and legend?

Sharingan... Samsara Eye...

He knows that the Sharingan has the secret of evolution. When suffering a huge blow, such as the death of a loved one, the Uchiha people will open their eyes, and then gradually evolve from the single Magatama Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Eye.

Could it be said that the last step in the evolution of the Sharingan is the Rinnegan?!

Moreover, the information also said that Madara Uchiha had mastered the Wooden Ninjutsu, which was even more incredible to him, because the Wooden Ninjutsu is the only blood-breaking limit in the world. From ancient times, he has only heard of the mythical Asura and the First Generation.

If Hokage Senju Hashirama learned this ninjutsu, how come Uchiha Madara can also learn it?

This makes absolutely no sense.

During the combat strength evaluation, Ashina actually evaluated this person's combat strength as beyond the shadow level, believing that at least five shadow level experts would be required to surround and kill him in order to ensure that everything was safe.

What's even more confusing to him is how he knew Uzumaki Ashina so clearly. Didn't he just discover Uchiha Madara's hiding place and confirm that he was hiding in Uzushio Village?

If you haven't fought with him, why do you know so much information?

The above just explained that it was detected through the barrier, but he did not believe that such a magical barrier could exist in this world. Moreover, he had basically studied the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan thoroughly, and Ashina could no longer bring out the inventory.

Exchange supplies with him, where did such a magical sealing technique come from?

The letter even said that the combat power that can deal with Uchiha Madara must be assembled before August 16th, because he has a way to confirm at what time Uchiha Madara will definitely appear, but it will not work beyond this time.

.

This is so confusing that it’s hard to figure out.

No matter what, he had to go to Uzumaki Village. He didn't dare not check such an important matter. It would be too bad if the second ninja war started and Uchiha Madara was reaping the benefits from behind.

.

But just as he was about to walk out of the office, Hiruzen calmed down. He realized that he could not take any risks. This was the most critical moment. The war was about to break out, and Danzo was watching his position from behind. If he rashly followed Uchi

After a fight with Haubara, he couldn't guarantee that he could return to Konoha Village safely.

If he dies suddenly, Konoha will surely fall into chaos, and the four major countries will definitely take the opportunity to raise their troops and catch Konoha by surprise.

However, Uchiha Madara must die! This hidden danger is too great!

There was one thing in the letter that he was sure of. He could never send ordinary ninjas there, as they would be risking their lives and might even be leaked. They must be trusted and the strongest ninjas to carry out the mission.

So he hurried back to the case, wrote four letters in a row, and then called the ANBU ninjas and asked them to send the letters to the ninja villages of the four major countries, and they must be handed over to the leaders of each village.

There is no other way, he must find reinforcements to help. I believe that people like him who have experienced the village building era can understand what kind of threat Uchiha Madara represents.

Then he called Hatake Sakumo over and said in a deep voice: "Now, you go to Uzushio Village immediately. There is a rebellious ninja there who is a great threat to Konoha. You must kill him no matter what."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Hatake Sakumo calmly took the mission scroll without raising any questions about the mission itself.

He opened the scroll and took a look, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
