Chapter 498 Konoha's Top Fighting Force

"Che, now that Orochimaru has pried open that rat's mouth, how much have you figured out about Madara Uchiha's true fighting strength?"

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Nishikawa Tetsu reached out and tapped a few times on the control panel. The holographic projection instantly switched, displaying a top-secret combat strength assessment report compiled by Orochimaru.

"Although Madara Uchiha's body is extremely old and he may die at any time, he is, after all, a ninja demon who once rivaled the First Hokage. We absolutely cannot treat him as an ordinary old man."

Nishikawa Toru pointed to the first data point on the report.

"First is the Demonic Statue of the Heretic."

"It was an extremely large aggregate of chakra, said to be the husk of the Ten-Tails."

"It can absorb chakra, has amazing defensive capabilities, and possesses terrifying vitality. Madara Uchiha is currently surviving by absorbing the chakra of the demonic statue. It will be extremely difficult to defeat Madara before the demonic statue's chakra is completely exhausted."

"Moreover, once the golem is activated, the destructive power it can unleash is definitely greater than that of the tailed beasts."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned even more deeply.

"A giant summoning beast with immense vitality, amazing defense, and tremendous power? This is much more troublesome than a tailed beast."

Nishikawa Tetsu changed the subject: "But that was after absorbing the chakra of many tailed beasts. The current Gedo Mazo is just an empty shell."

"Then it was his eyes."

Nishikawa Tetsu continued his analysis, his tone becoming serious.

"According to Zetsu's information, although Madara Uchiha transplanted his original eyes, which had awakened the Rinnegan, to Nagato, after the battle at the Valley of the End, he not only bit off and transplanted Hashirama's cells, but also secretly collected a lot of Sharingan from the Uchiha clan who died in battle."

"What?" This was the first time Jiraiya had ever heard that Nagato's Rinnegan was transplanted from Madara Uchiha.

Because of those eyes, he had even once thought that Nagato was the person prophesied by the Toad Sage, but he never expected that those eyes belonged to Madara.

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded, his face showing surprise: "I was shocked when I heard Orochimaru say that Madara Uchiha wanted to control Nagato and have Nagato revive him using the Rinnegan after his death. However, the side effect of this technique is the life of the user, which means that Nagato himself will die after using this ability."

"Although he currently only has ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan in his eye sockets and cannot use his unique Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, he might be able to use Susanoo."

This information wasn't given by Zetsu, but rather by Nishikawa Tetsu based on the original storyline. In the original story, Madara, even without eyes after his resurrection, could use Susanoo to make the ninja army cry out in despair.

Furthermore, according to the setting, Susanoo is a product of massive chakra materialization, so it's hard to say whether it's a Mangekyou Sharingan ability.

Nishikawa Tetsu paused for a moment, then released another piece of information.

"With the immense Yang Release chakra provided by the First Hokage's cells, Madara Uchiha could even unleash the Uchiha clan's ultimate forbidden technique, Izanagi, multiple times without any restraint!"

"Izanagi?!"

Jiraiya gasped sharply. Although he was not a member of the Uchiha clan, he knew of this terrifying eye technique that could alter reality and turn death into a dream.

"That's right. This means that we might need to 'kill' Uchiha Madara several times in a single battle before we can truly eliminate him. Moreover, we also need to guard against his unparalleled mastery of Fire Release techniques."

He didn't suggest using Izanami to deal with Madara Uchiha, because using Izanami would also cause blindness, and it might not even be effective against Madara who had fused with the First Hokage's cells.

Nishikawa Tetsu's gaze swept over the last line of the report.

Finally, there is the advantage in numbers.

"Madara cultivated a vast number of White Zetsu clones in that underground cave. Although the individual combat strength of these clones is weak, even weaker than that of a Chunin, their advantage lies in their sheer number, and they can absorb the enemy's chakra."

"If we launch a full-scale attack on the cavern, hundreds or thousands of White Zetsu clones will overwhelm us like a tidal wave, greatly depleting our chakra and stamina. If we are already exhausted before facing Madara, then this decapitation operation will be nothing short of suicide."

After listening to Nishikawa Tetsu's comprehensive analysis, Jiraiya let out a long breath, and a fine layer of cold sweat even seeped out from his forehead.

"Uchiha Madara, he's a monster."

Jiraiya gave a wry smile and touched his white hair.

"With this lineup, even if I activated Sage Mode, I'd probably be in deep trouble going in. Che, are we going to fight a battle?"

"That's why we need to gather Konoha's sharpest spears and strongest shields."

Nishikawa Tetsu turned off the holographic projection, turned to look at Jiraiya, and his eyes burned with a resolute light.

"This is a top-secret operation that cannot afford to fail. The number of personnel cannot be large, but they must be the most elite combat force."

"Tell me, who do you plan to send?" Jiraiya asked seriously.

"You don't need to say anything, you definitely have to go, and Minato has to go too."

Nishikawa Tetsu raised a finger: "The Flying Thunder God Technique is the core guarantee that allows us to maintain extreme mobility in that enclosed cave, avoid the White Zetsu Sea's tactics, and complete the surprise attack and retreat. Without it, we would even have a hard time safely passing through those perception barriers."

They're not White Zetsu; they can't sneak in silently. If there were enough time, it wouldn't be impossible to block out these barriers, but it's definitely better to do it sooner rather than later.

Jiraiya nodded; Minato's role was irreplaceable.

"Orochimaru, the Dean, also has to go."

Nishikawa Tetsu raised his second finger.

"Orochimaru has the deepest research on White Zetsu cells and the First Hokage's Wood Release, which allows him to suppress those White Zetsu clones."

Indeed, Jiraiya, who had been Orochimaru's teammate for many years, certainly acknowledged Orochimaru's research capabilities in scientific research and forbidden techniques.

"And there's also Sakumo Hatake-senpai."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Jiraiya: "Sakumo-senpai is definitely one of Konoha's top combatants, we can't do without him."

Jiraiya agreed with this statement. Although the war was over, the reputation of Konoha's White Fang could still make some people shudder.

"There is one more person who is crucial."

Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes became incredibly deep.

"Fugaku-senpai".

"Fugaku?" Jiraiya paused, taken aback. "He is indeed very strong, and he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but against Madara Uchiha..."

"Teacher, don't forget, Madara is the ancestor of the Uchiha clan. If he tries to control Obito and the others using bloodline or some kind of genjutsu, Fugaku-senpai is the best line of defense."

Nishikawa Tetsu explained, "More importantly, Fugaku-senpai's Mangekyou Sharingan is very special. His Amaterasu can burn continuously, which is excellent against White Zetsu, and his other eye is our trump card against Uchiha Madara."

"Moreover, this is also a necessary ritual for the Uchiha clan to completely sever its ties with the sins of the old era. With the current Uchiha clan head personally ending the life of this former demon, those Konoha leaders who still harbor hostility towards the Uchiha can probably feel much more at ease."

After hearing these words, Jiraiya's gaze towards Nishikawa Tetsuya completely changed.

"You little rascal, you're so calculating, you can even manipulate people's hearts."

Jiraiya sighed, then asked, "What about you? Aren't you going?"

"Of course I'm going."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled slightly and patted the desk.

"Although my ninjutsu and taijutsu are no match for yours, I will bring with me the latest scientific ninja tools developed by the Konoha Science Research Institute, as well as an elite team from the Heian Company."

"Minato, White Fang, Fugaku, Orochimaru, this sage, and you."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, looked at the list, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

"If other villages knew that Konoha had gathered all these high-level combat forces, they'd probably be incredibly nervous."

Actually, these are just preliminary ideas. If possible, Nishikawa Tetsu would definitely want to take all of Konoha's current high-end combat power with him, but the Third Hokage would definitely not agree to that.
