Having to take care of Minato's team was an enlightening experience, I didn't know that teaching was something you could really learn a lot from doing it. And with the actual powers of the team, I am fairly certain that they wouldn't be victims of a situation like the one in cannon.
When I was training Minato's team for a bit I even thought of getting my own team, I am surely feeling like a pokemon trainer right now.
One day I was training Minato's team like normally, everything was doing fine whatsoever and the war was close to finishing, if I had to guess we are in that period of calm before the great storm, which is mostly a final showdown between enemy forces.
Suddenly I felt something... something so revolting, so twisted, that nature itself is screeching in anger at such a violation. For nature to react like that, something really grave must have happened.
I swiftly focus my [Observation Haki] on the place I detected such, there I see a thing that I was expecting for some time, Black Zetsu using the 1/8 Uzumaki to apply the just [Rinne Tensei Rebirth], the hidden 7th path that permits the wilder of the Rinnegan to revive someone from the dead.
And at this moment he is using everything to revive Madara, and I having my extraordinary sensing abilities could feel the atrocities he is vomiting, bringing someone from the dead is something that goes against Nature on so many levels It is something that I totally abhor.
But the black goo don't care, and he is now reviving Madara, so what kind of host would I be if I don't greet my guests, even if they are uninvited.
Reaching the place I only blink for a moment, it was so sudden that even I became surprised, in one second there was only the 1/8 Uzumaki and the other there was Madara Uchiha.
Seeing the emo up close was another thing entirely, even with me being way taller than this guy, his presence sure is imposing as hell, this is Madara Uchiha Indra reincarnation and one of the strongest men on the history of the planet.
I just watched intently as Madara went to zetsu and plucked his Rinnegan and put the eyes on his previously empty sockets, now I am looking at Madara Uchiha on his utter peak, with Rinnegan and Mokuton to boot. And why did I let Madara put on the Rinnegan, lets say that I paid some visits to the poor sod that was carrying the eyes put some gifts for the future owner.
The gifts are something simple and yet complicated, you see being a Senju mean that I have a ton of books detailing how to fight against all kinds of Dojutsu my ancestors fought, and the first rule against someone with fancy eyes, is to target their eyes.
The thing about having such a powerful Dojutsu is that its owners became kind of overreliant on them, so if you take away their eyes their combat ability reduces at least 50%, but I didn't destroy Madara's Rinnegan yet, simply because I intend to research the eyes later, I don't want to transplant it but more on the lines of studying it to try to replicate its techniques for myself.
And about awakening, a power like Madara did inject Hashirama cell in himself is out of the equation, first because Senju and Uchiha express their power differently, an Uchiha expresses their power through their yin and eyes, so when stimulated by the foreign DNA it will usually result on better eyes and a stronger yin, the Senju, however, express their power through their yang and body, so even if I somewhat inject some DNA into myself, the max I could gain is some upgrade to my body, that I surely prefer to gain it on my owon instead of experimenting on myself.
