Naruto The Thunder Calamity

Uchiha Tatsu silently watched the kneeling Konohagakure Anbu before him, saying nothing. 

"According to the information left by the Third Hokage's shadow clone, Uchiha Suisei's curse mark has been removed. However, Uchiha Madara has also been revived. Right now, Suisei, Raijin, and the Third Hokage are fighting Uchiha Madara. The Hokage Guard Unit has assembled, but Suisei still hasn't shown up." 

The Konohagakure Anbu glanced at Uchiha Tatsu, who was sitting in Senju Tobirama's arms. Seeing that Senju Tobirama had no intention of sending the boy away and recalling that Tatsu was the child of the Third Hokage and Uchiha Raijin, the Anbu decided to report everything without holding back. 

As the Anbu finished speaking, Senju Tobirama's brows furrowed involuntarily. 

If Uchiha Suisei hadn't come to Konohagakure to get reinforcements by now, it likely meant the situation on that side didn't need backup — or that the current Hokage Guard Unit couldn't intervene in such a high-level battle. 

Closing his eyes, Senju Tobirama easily sensed the rapidly moving Flying Thunder God mark to the east — a kunai he once gave to Raijin. 

At that speed, Senju Tobirama knew neither he nor the Hokage Guard Unit could keep up or join the fight. 

"Sigh..." 

Suppressing his urge to assist, Senju Tobirama let out a helpless sigh. 

"Who is Uchiha Madara? Is he strong?" 

Just as Senju Tobirama was about to speak, Uchiha Tatsu looked up and asked. 

"Hmm... just a foolish ninja." 

Hearing this, Senju Tobirama raised a brow and smiled faintly as he looked at the boy in his arms. 

"Liar! If he's really that foolish, why did you sigh?" 

Uchiha Tatsu scoffed, unconvinced. 

"Right now, besides my parents, there's probably no one who can threaten that ninja, right?" 

After a pause, Uchiha Tatsu continued, his clear eyes showing a hint of worry. 

Though Tatsu liked annoying Senju Tobirama, he wasn't dumb. At six years old, he could understand the meaning behind such detailed information. 

So... who exactly was Uchiha Madara? 

Why would someone with the same family name as his attack Konohagakure? 

"Wow, Tatsu is this smart?" 

Senju Tobirama responded with exaggerated surprise. 

"Tch..." 

Unlike usual, Uchiha Tatsu didn't seem happy about the praise. He just quietly stared out the window. 

"Let's head home for now. Grandpa has some things to take care of, okay?" 

Seeing this, Senju Tobirama smiled wryly, regretting not sending Uchiha Tatsu away earlier. 

He hadn't expected this situation to escalate so much. 

In the past, when the Konohagakure Anbu rarely sought him out, it was usually to mediate disputes among the Hokage's advisors. 

But this time... things were far more serious.

"Understood." 

Uchiha Tatsu nodded and dashed out through the half-open window of Senju Tobirama's laboratory. 

The window was just wide enough for Uchiha Tatsu to pass through. 

"From now on, Konohagakure is in a state of war." 

Watching Uchiha Tatsu leave, Senju Tobirama turned back. The kind smile on his face had vanished. 

In its place was the familiar, imposing presence known to Konohagakure's Anbu. 

"Yes!" 

"Call a meeting of Konohagakure's senior officials," Senju Tobirama ordered after thinking for a moment. 

"Yes!" 

The kneeling Konohagakure Anbu responded without hesitation. 

After waiting a moment and realizing there were no further instructions, the Anbu left Senju Tobirama's lab. 

As the Anbu departed, Senju Tobirama's figure quietly disappeared from the laboratory as well. 

... 

While Konohagakure received the news, the battle near Raijin's position continued. 

"Never thought Konohagakure still had Wood Style users." 

Uchiha Madara effortlessly dodged several vines and charged straight toward Tsunade. 

Tsunade tightened her grip on her wooden staff, staring fiercely at Uchiha Madara while commanding a mass of vines to block his path. 

But... she couldn't stop him. 

Uchiha Madara... was too fast! 

"You'll find there are many things you didn't expect." 

Tsunade smirked coldly at his words. She drew power from her waist, swinging her staff fiercely at Uchiha Madara! 

By now, Uchiha Madara was within Tsunade's attack range. 

But this wasn't necessarily good for Tsunade. 

Watching the situation closely, Uchiha Raijin formed a hand sign, instantly creating four shadow clones. 

At the same time, Suisei joined the battle. 

There's no way Uchiha Suisei would be ignored like this! 

Her Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, twisting the space around Tsunade. 

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed. He wanted to intervene but had to dodge Tsunade's all-out strike first! 

After all, he wasn't keen on taking that hit head-on. 

While Uchiha Madara wasn't afraid of trading blows, doing so now would be pointless and even harmful! 

So, he could only watch as Tsunade's figure vanished before his eyes.....only to be replaced by Raijin. 

The moment Tsunade was absorbed by Suisei's Kamui, Raijin used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to appear where she had just stood. 

His eyes narrowed slightly, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning rapidly. 

Eternal Mangekyou Technique: Setsuna! 

Raijin swung his long sword, his figure vanishing in an instant. 

A sudden flash of lightning! 

In what seemed like teleportation, Raijin appeared abruptly before Uchiha Madara. 

"Clang!" 

Uchiha Madara raised his blade to block. Even for someone like him, Raijin's speed was difficult to counter. 

One slash wasn't the end — the moment their blades clashed, Raijin disappeared again. 

Lightning Flash: Hundred-Twenty-Eight Strikes! 

Watching the intense scene, Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes narrowed slightly. 

Such speed... 

It seemed like countless versions of Raijin were attacking Uchiha Madara from all directions at once! 

"Shinra Tensei!"

Amid fierce clashes, Madara unleashed the Rinnegan's powers. 

Faced with such relentless attacks, the best strategy was to create some distance! 

At the same time, Suisei and Tsunade, along with Raijin's four shadow clones, engaged the shadows summoned by Limbo: Border Jail. 

Under a powerful repelling force, Raijin was pushed back uncontrollably, widening the gap between him and Uchiha Madara. 

It felt like a switch had been flipped—the remaining shadows began disappearing one by one. 

Limbo: Border Jail was fully neutralized, and no new shadows appeared yet. 

Suisei, Tsunade, and Raijin formed a triangle, trapping Madara in the center. 

"Not bad teamwork," Madara admitted, his expression growing serious. 

Their coordination was far better than he had expected. 

Nearby, Otsutsuki Isshiki watched with curiosity. How would Uchiha Madara break out of this? 

From Isshiki's perspective, Madara didn't have many good options left. 

The Rinnegan was powerful and versatile, but clearly, its abilities weren't enough to trouble this formidable trio. 

Even the strongest techniques, Chibaku Tensei and Limbo: Border Jail, had been countered. 

At this point, Madara had little else to rely on. 

Perhaps his only chance was summoning Gedo Mazo and becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. 

However, without chakra, the Gedo Mazo was far from complete. 

A black staff appeared in Isshiki's hand—he was ready to step in. 

Isshiki couldn't allow a true Sage to emerge in the ninja world. 

That would disrupt the Otsutsuki clan's divine tree cultivation plan. 

Right now, regardless of Madara's intentions, since he had attacked Konohagakure, Isshiki could temporarily align with him. 

Their shared goal, for now, was destroying Konohagakure. 

Madara sought the Tailed Beasts, while Isshiki wanted Konohagakure gone. 

Of course, Isshiki had no intention of openly negotiating with Madara. 

But he couldn't just watch Madara fail or die. 

After all, these three Konohagakure ninjas were incredibly strong! 

As for forming a true alliance with Madara later—or even exposing the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan—Isshiki decided that would depend on whether they could eliminate those three Konohagakure ninjas in this battle. 

By then, Tsunade was already in motion. 

She had given up on using Wood Release to restrict Madara's movements—it was too slow to catch him. 

Continuing to rely on Wood Release would only make her look foolish! 

Tsunade canceled her Senjutsu state, formed hand signs, and summoned three shadow clones, which immediately scattered. 

Madara wasn't about to sit still. Instinctively, he tried to create distance between himself and the trio, avoiding being surrounded. 

However, just as Madara moved, Raijin charged straight at him, locking him in close combat. 

Meanwhile, Suisei held a Kamui Shuriken at the ready, prepared to support at any moment. 

At that moment, Tsunade completed her setup. 

Her three shadow clones and herself positioned around Raijin and Madara in four directions. 

In the next instant, Tsunade and her clones simultaneously formed hand signs, creating a rectangular barrier engulfed in red, transparent flames.

Raijin saw this and in an instant, his figure flashed, appearing outside the barrier. 

The giant figure immediately dissipated, and Raijin crouched on the surface of the sea, his Mangekyou eyes spinning rapidly. 

The weather once again turned dark and stormy, and the clouds kept expanding! 

A bolt of lightning shot through the sky, and the dark clouds began to gather. 

A massive purple sphere formed in the sky. 

Inside the Four Red Sun Formation, Madara slowly looked up at the black-purple sphere that was taking shape in the sky. 

He blinked slowly. 

This Lightning Release is truly impressive. 

Looking at the surrounding barrier, Madara's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. He bit his finger, then placed his hand on the sea surface. 

Summoning Technique! 

Boom! 

With a burst of smoke, Gedo Mazo immediately appeared beside Madara. 

At that moment, a figure quietly emerged, holding a black staff. Isshiki swiftly rushed toward Tsunade's real body. 

Seeing this, Suisei's eyes sharpened, and his Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, causing the space where Tsunade's real body was located to twist. 

Without the support of the real body's energy, the Four Red Sun Formation collapsed at that instant. 

At this moment, Raijin, who was performing the Thunder Summon, found himself in a very awkward situation... 

…

Konohagakure, Hokage Office. 

"The village is holding a Hokage meeting! How can the Third Hokage and the Hokage Guard Captain not be here?! Do they still care about Konohagakure?! 

Teacher! I propose we remove Tsunade from the Hokage position and elect someone capable to be the Fourth Hokage!" 

When everyone had gathered, Shimura Danzo couldn't hold back and shouted loudly. 

"How about you becoming Hokage?" 

Uchiha Motohide, representing the Konohagakure Police Force, raised an eyebrow and slowly looked at Shimura Danzo before asking. 

"Be... Hokage? Well, that depends on everyone's opinion." 

Danzo instinctively licked the corner of his mouth and his confidence seemed to waver slightly. 

In the beginning, Danzo had no real intention of becoming Hokage and had supported Tsunade's position. 

But as more and more conflicts surfaced, Danzo couldn't stand it anymore. 

How could Konohagakure be properly governed with these insects and scavengers in charge?! 

Hokage needs someone more capable! Strength alone isn't enough. To be Hokage, it's about intelligence! Intelligence! 

"Alright, let's focus on the matter at hand." 

Senju Tobirama glanced at Danzo, who immediately quieted down. 

There were only three people in Konohagakure who could make Senju Tobirama feel powerless. 

And none of them were named Shimura. 

One was Senju Tobirama's granddaughter, the Third Hokage, Tsunade-hime. 

The other two were Tsunade's children, Uchiha Ruri and Uchiha Tatsu. 

Shimura Danzo... just Shimura Danzo. 

"Uchiha Madara has been revived. Raijin, Tsunade, and Suisei are currently fighting him." 

As the room fell silent, Senju Tobirama began to explain what had happened. 

Uchiha Motohide was stunned, turning to look at Senju Tobirama in surprise. 

"Suisei's curse mark has been removed."
