At the same time, they also knew that such forced reverse channeling should indicate that something significant was about to happen.
However, unable to obtain more information, they could only suppress their curiosity and continue discussing Chen Anxia's affairs.
However, their discussion clearly failed to reach any conclusion.
They had no choice but to put the topic aside for the time being and start talking about other things.
At this moment, Tobirama Senju frowned and said, "Brother, the balance of the ninja world has been broken because of our return."
"According to the intelligence gathered below, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure have all made some moves."
"If this continues, I'm afraid the Fourth Shinobi World War will break out."
Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju frowned and said, "Our appearance must pose a threat to them, and it's understandable that they would feel uneasy about it."
"Although we are not afraid of the outbreak of the Ninja World War, the current timing is very special. Darkness will descend in the future. If the Ninja World War breaks out at this time, I am afraid that some uncontrollable factors will emerge."
Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju immediately replied, "That's what I'm worried about too."
Then, Tobirama Senju suggested, "I think we can hold a meeting of the Five Kage to discuss the Five Kage Alliance."
Hashirama Senju naturally knew this was a good suggestion, but he couldn't help but sigh and say, "I'm afraid some people are unwilling to hold this Five Kage Summit."
"Because the ninja world has never lacked ambitious people."
"And turmoil is what these ambitious people want most."
Hashirama Senju's words plunged Tobirama Senju into silence.
After a moment of silence, Tobirama Senju spoke up, "How about we resurrect that guy using Edo Tensei? Although we don't want to see him, his power is exactly what we need right now."
Hashirama Senju knew that the guy Tobirama Senju was talking about was his nemesis from his previous life... Madara Uchiha!
......
Chapter 612 The Five Kage Summit, the Vanished Uchiha Madara!
Deep within a mountain in Konoha, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Kakashi were rapidly traversing the area.
Finally, led by Tobirama Senju, the group traversed the complex terrain and arrived at the location of Madara Uchiha's corpse.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju's expression was somewhat complicated.
In Hashirama Senju's mind, he had killed Madara Uchiha in the battle at the Valley of the End before his death, and his body should have already been disposed of.
But to everyone's surprise, Tobirama Senju, who was engrossed in researching the mystery of the Sharingan back then, did not dispose of Madara Uchiha's body, but instead hid it here.
Regardless of whether Tobirama Senju was right or wrong, at least from the current perspective, it was thanks to Tobirama Senju's actions back then that Madara Uchiha was able to be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju, oblivious to his elder brother's expression, walked directly towards the coffin containing Madara Uchiha's corpse and opened it.
Just when Tobirama Senju thought he would see Madara Uchiha's skeletal remains, he suddenly saw an empty coffin.
This fact caused Tobirama Senju to look on in astonishment, exclaiming, "How is this possible!?"
Behind him, Hashirama Senju and Kakashi, who had been waiting for Tobirama Senju, hurriedly stepped forward after hearing Tobirama Senju's words.
Upon approaching, they saw the empty coffin and their faces showed astonishment.
Amidst this astonishment, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but say, "Judging from this, someone must have stolen Madara's body."
Not only Hashirama Senju, but also Tobirama Senju and Kakashi thought so.
Although there were no signs of theft at the scene, so much time had passed that any traces of theft would have been covered up.
So they didn't think much of it.
In addition, in their minds, Madara Uchiha had already died.
Therefore, the only possible explanation for the disappearance of Madara Uchiha's body is that it was stolen.
What they didn't know was that in the battle at the Valley of the End, although Madara Uchiha was killed by Hashirama Senju.
However, Madara Uchiha, who had long anticipated this possible outcome, placed the forbidden technique Izanagi in his right eye before his death, and resurrected himself by using his right eye as a sacrifice.
Afterwards, Madara Uchiha disguised his shadow clones as corpses and then quietly left the deep mountains of Konoha.
Madara Uchiha actually died in the year Naruto Uzumaki was born, which was also the year the Nine-Tails attack occurred in Konoha.
As for the location of Madara Uchiha's body after his death, only Black Zetsu in the entire ninja world knows the answer.
Even Obito Uchiha, the pawn carefully cultivated by Madara Uchiha and the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, did not know the location of Madara Uchiha's body.
Unaware of these events, Hashirama Senju and his two companions, after a thorough search yielding no results, had no choice but to return to Konoha and try to find Madara Uchiha's body throughout the ninja world.
When Hashirama Senju and his two companions returned to Konoha, they discovered that Jiraiya and Tsunade had already returned.
At this moment, Jiraiya and Tsunade's expressions were terrifyingly serious.
After seeing Hashirama Senju and the other two return, Jiraiya and Tsunade did not hesitate and immediately told them the information they knew.
Upon learning that darkness had been born and observing the reactions of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku and the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, the expressions of Hashirama Senju and his companions became terrifyingly serious.
Hashirama Senju then spoke up, "Tobirama, immediately send a message to all the major ninja villages and convene a meeting of the Five Kage!"
As he spoke, Hashirama Senju seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, right, tell them about the darkness as well."
Tobirama Senju was a decisive person, and upon hearing this, he immediately went to deal with the matter.
Soon, news of Konoha's plan to hold a Five Kage Summit, as well as information about the underworld, reached the Kage of the various ninja villages.
In response, Raikage A, who was both an ambitious and warlike individual, and Kazekage Rasa, who was already at odds with Konoha, chose to ignore it.
In their view, the Five Kage Summit was likely a trap set by Konoha, and if they actually participated, they would likely be in danger.
The idea that darkness, already born, will shroud the entire world in the future is pure nonsense.
Even if, hypothetically, darkness were to shroud the world in the future, they would not be afraid.
Because their village has tailed beasts and jinchūriki.
No matter how strong the darkness is, can it be stronger than a tailed beast?
Unlike them, Tsuchikage Onoki of the Two Scales hesitated. He did not immediately deny the authenticity of the news, but he could not confirm its authenticity either, so he did not know whether he should participate.
Only the Mizukage, Mei Terumi, chose to believe in Konoha and attached great importance to it, wanting to participate in this Five Kage Summit.
Soon, responses from the various ninja villages reached Konoha.
Upon learning of the responses from the various ninja villages, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and the others looked rather grim and somber.
Although they had expected this result, they still felt bad.
We know that there is no possibility of holding a Five-Photon Summit at this stage.
However, the only thing that comforted them was the attitude of the Mizukage, Mei Terumi.
This also means that in the dark turmoil of the future, Konoha Village could have Kirigakure as an ally.
Of course, whether the alliance will be strong remains to be seen. Only by presenting concrete evidence can Kirigakure and Konoha form a complete alliance.
Knowing this, Jiraiya stepped forward and said, "I'll go to Kirigakure and talk to the Mizukage about the dark side of things."
"After that, I will go to other ninja villages. I believe that they should know how to make a choice when faced with solid evidence."
Everyone else agreed, and they knew it was the best approach at the moment.
Following Jiraiya, Tobirama Senju also stepped forward and said, "The plan to reincarnate the dead using the Impure World Reincarnation technique will also begin. I have roughly divided this plan into three parts."
"The first part is to send people to find Orochimaru's location."
"The second part is to send people to collect the mediums from the dead. The targets are not limited to Konoha. Powerful ninjas from other villages in the past can also be the targets."
"The third part is to send people to capture powerful rogue ninja as backup vessels."
After Tobirama Senju finished speaking, Tsunade stepped forward and said, "I can lead the team to find Orochimaru's location."
Kakashi then stepped forward and said, "I can also do my part. I can be responsible for collecting the medium from the dead."
Seeing this, Hashirama Senju, who was standing nearby, also spoke up, "Then I will be in charge of capturing powerful rogue ninja."
Seeing this, Tobirama Senju nodded slightly and said, "Then I will take charge of the overall coordination behind the scenes. I will place the Flying Thunder God Technique on you later, so that I can quickly get there wherever I am needed."
......
Chapter 613 The Three Kage Meeting, Hidan's First Impressions!
At the border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, there is a valley overlooking the sea.
In the past, this valley was rarely visited by people, but today, there were several more figures.
These figures were divided into three factions, positioned in a pincer movement, as if they were negotiating.
If anyone from the ninja world were here, they would surely recognize that these three forces were none other than the Three Kage meeting, led by Raikage A, Kazekage Rasa, and Tsuchikage Onoki.
More accurately, the Raikage A and the Kazekage Rasa, who have already formed an alliance, are persuading the Tsuchikage Onoki of the Two Scales to join their alliance.
"Konoha's sinister intention to dominate the ninja world is already very clear. All talk of darkness and disaster is bullshit."
"Think about it, Konoha already has the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and now with the addition of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, what disaster in the ninja world can't they handle?"
It has to be said that Ai's words made a lot of sense, and caused Onoki's already wavering heart to begin to falter.
Seeing this, Rasa pressed on, saying, "I have received news that Kirigakure intends to submit to Konoha."
"If you remain neutral and waver between the two sides at this time, you will definitely become the breakthrough point for Konoha to dominate the ninja world and become Konoha's first target."
"I believe you don't want to just hand over the empire your ancestors worked so hard to build, do you?"
"Given the current situation, only by forming an unbreakable alliance can we contend with Konoha in its current state."
Rasa's words made Onoki, the Libra, even more hesitant, but perhaps because of his fear of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, he was still unable to make a final decision.
Upon seeing this, Ai and Luosha exchanged a glance, and then Ai spoke again, "As long as you form an alliance with us, the resources we gain from the victory will be divided equally among our three villages."
Upon hearing this, Onoki, the two-day scale, could find no reason to refuse and readily agreed to the alliance.
After the dust settled, smiles appeared on the faces of Ai and Rosa.
Then Rasa said, "The Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Wind are positioned in a triangular formation, with the Land of Fire standing in the other three directions."
"Therefore, we can choose a day to launch a simultaneous attack on the Land of Fire and Konoha Village from three sides, catching them off guard."
"And because the Land of Water is separated from the Land of Fire by the sea, it means that even if the Hidden Mist Village wants to support the Hidden Leaf Village, it will be too late."
