Born with a great love for the Uchiha

The fact that Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon her great-grandfather had a great impact on her.

Tsunade already knew that Orochimaru had dug up many graves in the cemetery behind the mountain.

However, she never expected that Orochimaru had completely mastered the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and had even summoned the First Hokage!

How dare that bastard Orochimaru!

He dared to resurrect Hashirama Senju today, he'll dare to resurrect Madara Uchiha tomorrow, and he'll start the Fourth Shinobi World War the day after tomorrow...

"Humph!"

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, his displeasure evident.

"Sarutobi actually trained such a disciple! An S-rank rogue ninja who has mastered most of the village's forbidden techniques!"

The second generation was even more disappointed with the third generation.

First it was Danzo Shimura, then Orochimaru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, what do you think the village is?!

An S-rank rogue ninja training base?!

"Um, there's one more thing."

Hashirama Senju raised his right hand like a primary school student.

“Tobirama, and the Fifth Hokage, Orochimaru’s mastery of the Impure World Reincarnation technique should surpass that of the two of you.”

Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow, before he could even speak.

Tobirama Senju was the first to express his opinion.

"Brother, please don't speak carelessly!"

Tobirama Senju ultimately gave his elder brother face in front of his juniors and didn't say anything too offensive.

"That's a forbidden technique I developed! How could Orochimaru possibly be better at the Impure World Reincarnation Technique than me?"

"That's the truth, Tobirama."

"I'm serious," Hashirama Senju said earnestly.

"I was once summoned by you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and now I have been summoned by the Fifth Hokage as well."

"When the two of you use forbidden techniques, I can't exert much of my strength at all..."

“But Orochimaru is different. Last time he used the Impure World Reincarnation on me, I was able to perform at about half of my usual level.”

Halfway through?

Tobirama Senju's pupils contracted slightly.

He didn't think his older brother was lying; his brother just didn't have the brains for it...

What level of power would Hashirama Senju have if he had used half of his strength?

Leaving aside Madara Uchiha, who was a monster of the same level.

Hashirama Senju was practically ready to sweep across the ninja world!

—Of course, this refers to the era in which the Senju brothers lived, namely the late Warring States period.

Orochimaru still has that level of skill?

Tobirama Senju fell into a brief period of self-doubt.

After developing the forbidden technique "Impure World Reincarnation," he did indeed summon his elder brother through spirit communication.

After Hashirama Senju's death, the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out.

The Second Hokage only hoped to resurrect his elder brother using the Impure World Reincarnation technique so that the war could be resolved.

But as it turns out...

The living Hashirama and the reanimated Hashirama are on completely different levels!

The former can't beat anyone.

The latter can't beat anyone.

Putting aside other things.

If Tobirama Senju could use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect Hashirama Senju at his peak.

So back when Konoha and Kumogakure formed an alliance.

How could Tobirama Senju possibly be killed by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers leading the Cloud Village forces?

The Second Hokage could easily defeat the Gold and Silver Brothers and their Cloud Village forces with just one sentence.

"Rise, my elder brother!"

Well known.

He (the eldest brother) is invincible!

However, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique still has its flaws.

Tobirama Senju also tried to improve the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but unfortunately he never made any progress.

The original version of Hashirama Senju, summoned by the Edo Tensei technique, always maintained the same strength.

Orochimaru can now summon an even more powerful Hashirama Senju.

Could it be that he really is a genius?

"...This is probably not Orochimaru's problem."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gen gave his guess.

"It should be a problem with the offerings for the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

"Offerings?"

A flash of inspiration struck Tobirama Senju, and he immediately followed Gen Uchiha's train of thought.

He was about to ask a few more questions when he saw Uchiha Gen's figure suddenly disappear from the spot.

"So fast!"

Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up.

"I thought Tobirama's speed was unmatched, but I never expected the Fifth Hokage to be this fast too!"

Tobirama Senju was equally shocked, because even with his keen eyesight, he couldn't see how Gen Uchiha had disappeared.

"This is... the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

The Fifth Hokage's mere initial display of speed astonished the First and Second Hokage.

Tobirama Senju even believed that Gen Uchiha had used his signature Flying Thunder God Technique.

Since the opponent has already mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique, it's not surprising that they would learn the Flying Thunder God Technique as well.

These two S-rank ultimate ninjutsu techniques are actually from the same source...

The next moment.

Uchiha Gen's figure suddenly appeared in the same spot, as if he had never left.

Upon seeing the Fifth Hokage reappear, Tobirama Senju immediately overturned his previous idea.

The use of the Flying Thunder God Technique requires setting up a spell mark in advance.

However, when Gen Uchiha "returned" just now, he did not mark the location in advance at all.

This is a space-time ninjutsu even stronger than the Flying Thunder God Technique!

This young man...this Uchiha...

Gee!

Times have really changed...

Tobirama Senju felt a pang of sadness.

"That's the feeling!"

Hashirama Senju's gaze fell on the white arm that Gen Uchiha had casually brought along.

"What's this thing that looks like my arm, but isn't?"

“I’ve seen similar ‘humans’ before in Orochimaru’s secret base.”

"These are White Zetsu; they are not normal humans."

Gen Uchiha intended to hand the white Zetsu arm to Hashirama Senju, but Tobirama Senju took the pale arm first.

"If I'm not mistaken, Orochimaru used White Zetsu as a sacrifice to resurrect the First Hokage through the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"From any perspective, White Zetsu is very suitable as a summoning sacrifice for the First Hokage."

White Zetsu is also suitable for summoning other ninjas using Edo Tensei, but the most suitable one should still be Hashirama Senju!

Gen Uchiha never expected that Orochimaru would use the Impure World Reincarnation technique on Hashirama Senju so "early".

If he had summoned Hashirama Senju any later, it's hard to imagine whether the First Hokage would have been "recruited" into Orochimaru's camp.

Fortunately, Gen Uchiha did not forget his promise to Tsunade.

At the cost of two death row inmates, the two Hokage were temporarily "resurrected".

"A strange biological tissue sample..."

Tobirama Senju held the White Zetsu's arm, carefully channeling his own chakra into it, and meticulously sensing the changes within.

"Even though it's just an arm, it still retains amazing cellular activity and also has the ability to absorb chakra..."

"He's just like a low-quality older brother."
