Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

"Hmph, what do you think?"

Scorpion leaped down from the roof beam and said coldly, "You promised to come see me whenever you had time. Do the math, how much time has passed?"

"I……"

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to listen!"

Just as Chiba was about to explain, Scorpion interrupted him.

"Don't you know the Flying Thunder God Technique? I happen to be free recently and am planning to visit Konoha. Remember to take me with you when you leave."

After saying that, Scorpion turned and left without giving Chiba a chance to refuse.

"Huh? Another one. This place is practically turning into a training base for Akatsuki students," Chiba thought with a hint of helplessness.

To be fair, Chiba has almost gathered half of Akatsuki's students around him; they could open a tutoring class. Is he going to start a card collecting and character development game?

"Alright, Chiba, let me take you to see Lord Shigure first."

Rasa turned to look at Chiba, completely ignoring Sasori's presence. He and Sasori had always maintained a state of non-interference.

"it is good."

Led by Rasa, Chiba arrived at the Kazekage's office.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chiba explained his purpose to Shigure: to exchange the Nine-Tails' chakra for an equal amount of One-Tails' chakra for research purposes.

"sure, no problem."

Shigure readily agreed, agreeing to exchange the Nine-Tails' power for an equal amount. Chiba might not lose out, but he would definitely make a huge profit!

"By the way, Shigure-senpai, Sasori wants to come back to Konoha with me for a while, what do you think...?"

After finalizing the deal, Chiba casually asked.

“Okay.” Shi Yu said happily, “If Scorpion wants to go, let him go. It’s just that I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him.”

The Sand Village and Konoha are currently in a honeymoon period, and Shigure also wants Sasori to have more contact with Chiba, which would be beneficial for Sasori's future development.

After staying in Sunagakure for half a month, Chiba successfully obtained the scroll containing the power of the One-Tailed Beast and returned to Konoha with Sasori.

It's worth mentioning that Chiba also secretly brought back some of the Third Kazekage's flesh and blood.

In the original storyline, Orochimaru manipulated the Third Kazekage's perfected Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Chiba was thinking of bringing the same materials back so Orochimaru could practice and get a feel for it; maybe that would spark some inspiration.

……

Two months later.

At the base of the leaves, in the laboratory.

Chiba glanced at the experimental subject resurrected by Edo Tensei in front of him, shook his head and said, "No, Orochimaru, our progress is still too slow."

After so many days and nights of research, the two of them have indeed made some progress.

At this rate, they might be able to completely perfect the Impure World Reincarnation technique in another year or two, which is already much faster than in the original work.

But it's still too slow. Madara Uchiha could make a move at any time, and Chiba can't afford to wait.

"Chiba-kun, we're already moving fast enough."

Orochimaru scratched his thinning hair from staying up all night and couldn't help but say, "It hasn't been that long, and we're already able to keep the dead conscious and communicate with us without any problems."

"Time waits for no one, Orochimaru." Chiba shook his head.

"Chiba-kun, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the same is true for research. You should understand this. Our speed has reached its limit; it's impossible to improve it any further," Orochimaru earnestly advised.

"...No, there really is a way!"

Chiba looked at Orochimaru beside him and said in a strange tone, "Do you think if we summoned the creator of the Impure World Reincarnation technique and had him assist us in our research, it would speed up our progress?"

Orochimaru: "Huh?"

"There's no other way, time is of the essence, so we have to take a risky approach."

Chiba patted Orochimaru, who was staring blankly, and sighed, "Get ready, Orochimaru, let's use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect the Second Hokage—Tobirama Senju!"

Chapter 115 Taking down Tobirama, one month to go!

Orochimaru: "Huh?"

Since following Chiba, Orochimaru has been filled with questions every day. He doesn't understand them, but he is greatly shocked.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was known for his fierce personality (and fiery temper)!

Chiba-kun, are you sure that if you resurrect the Second Hokage using the Edo Tensei technique, he won't just kill us and then work for us?!

"Trust my judgment, Orochimaru. Go and prepare. If anything goes wrong, the Third Hokage will take care of it."

"Well... alright then, Chiba-kun."

Faced with Chiba's insistence, Orochimaru hesitated for a moment before agreeing with a wry smile.

Chiba is right. If you want to complete a test paper quickly, the fastest way is to invite the person who set the questions over directly.

This might be the only way for the two of them to improve the Impure World Reincarnation technique as quickly as possible.

As the current second-in-command of Konoha, Orochimaru easily obtained Tobirama Senju's fragments (flesh and blood) and a lively, high-quality sacrifice, and began to set up the Edo Tensei technique.

"Chiba-kun, if Tobirama-sama loses control in a moment, you must take me away from here immediately."

Orochimaru pushed the offering into the black magic circle on the ground, glanced back at Chiba beside him, and gave him some words of advice with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've heard that Lord Tobirama is gentle and refined, a rare pure rational ninja among the Kage, not the kind of guy who gets angry at the drop of a hat."

Chiba patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

"Alright, Impure World Reincarnation!"

Orochimaru formed hand seals and skillfully performed the Impure World Reincarnation technique. It was clear he had practiced a lot in private, as his hands were almost blurry. I wonder how many older women he would be captivated by.

Crackle~~

A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the sealed laboratory, and countless yellowish-brown talismans flew out from the black incantation on the ground, densely wrapping the fallen offerings into a human cocoon.

A moment later, the talisman peeled off, revealing a chapped corpse covered in dust.

Silver hair, red eyes, iron headband, blue armor, white fur collar...

Without a doubt, the handsome and flamboyant old man in front of us is none other than the Second Hokage of Konoha—Tobirama Senju!

"As expected of an S-class character, it's been a long time since anyone has made me feel any pressure."

Chiba looked at the still-unrecovered Tobirama Senju before him, poked the other's Konoha-style buttocks, and sighed to himself.

Swish!

Just then, Tobirama Senju suddenly opened his eyes, cracking his stiff neck as he looked around in a daze.

"...Holy crap, I've been resurrected using Edo Tensei?!"

After realizing his predicament, Tobirama Senju immediately started cursing. At that moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of karma.

"What happened to your gentle and refined manner?!"

Orochimaru was startled by the commotion Tobirama made, and literally leaped to Chiba's side, ready to make a run for it at any moment.

"How dare you toy with my soul!"

Tobirama had already noticed Chiba and the other two. His cold gaze could almost freeze the air as he walked towards them with stiff steps.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Tobirama-sama, I am a disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Orochimaru was so frightened by Tobirama Senju that he started speaking in a childlike voice.

He's not a scoundrel yet; he'll really die when he dies. But Chiba-kun refuses to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he has no choice but to invoke Hiruzen Sarutobi's name.

"...Oh? You two are the monkey's apprentices?"

Since it was only a work in progress, Tobirama's reaction was a bit slow. It took him a while to stop and start looking at the two of them with a frown.

The more Tobirama looked, the deeper his brows furrowed, and Orochimaru's heart pounded with anxiety. But what Orochimaru didn't know was that Tobirama wasn't paying any attention to him at all; he was observing Chiba the whole time.

"Why does this kid give me a feeling of both closeness and disgust? He seems to have the blood of my Senju clan in his veins, but it's not pure."

Because Chiba had completely fused with Hashirama's cells and Senju's bloodline, it caused Tobirama great confusion, and many bizarre ideas arose in his mind.

"Damn, could this kid be my brother and... um, I guess I'm overthinking it, but there's no doubt that this kid has the blood of my Senju clan."

One was his grand-disciple, and the other was his descendant. Tobirama Senju's anger subsided slightly, and he let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, you two, give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll make you pay for blaspheming the dead!"

"Chiba-kun, quickly use Lightning Bolt..."

Halfway through his sentence, Orochimaru suddenly realized that Tobirama could also use the Thunder God Technique, and quickly changed his words, saying, "Chiba-kun, you should explain this to Lord Tobirama!"

“Yes.” Chiba nodded, and said firmly, “Lord Tobirama, the inherently evil Madara Uchiha is not dead yet!”

"what?!"

Chiba's words were so information-heavy that Tobirama Senju's 2G network couldn't process them, and his brain crashed.

boom!

After a while, Tobirama Senju's chakra suddenly erupted, and his entire being exuded a dangerous aura from the inside out.

"Junior, do you know what you are talking about?"

Tobirama Senju's face darkened, and he stared at Chiba with hostility.

"Lord Tobirama, Madara Uchiha did not die in the battle with Lord Hashirama. He survived by using the Izanagi technique. I saw him with my own eyes not long ago."

Chiba remained calm and explained methodically, "Uchiha Madara was an existence who attempted to overthrow the ninja world. I pretended to cooperate with him in order to escape. After returning, I thought of resurrecting you, otherwise Konoha would have been destroyed!"

"The inherently evil Madara Uchiha...!!"

Chiba's words were so assertive that Tobirama Senju had no choice but to believe them, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Konoha was built by him and his older brother, and it contained their hard work. The inherently evil Uchiha Madara even refused to give up his idea of ​​harming Konoha after he was "dead"!

"Brother should have listened to me back then and joined forces with me to completely eliminate Uchiha Madara long ago, and things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Tobirama Senju clenched his fist and looked at Chiba in a commanding tone, saying, "Junior, tell me everything you know and everything you've done!"
