Uchiha the Madman: He embodies truth and obliterates reality.

Thinking this, Tobirama Senju turned his gaze to Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi beside him, and finally fixed his gaze on Orochimaru, who was in the lead.

"Is it you, young man, who resurrected me?" Tobirama Senju asked, looking at Orochimaru.

Before deciding how to deal with the two, he needed to get to the bottom of things.

"Yes, Second Hokage."

Orochimaru was unaware that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, harbored murderous intent towards him, and his attitude remained respectful.

Even if he knew, Orochimaru wouldn't care; it's enough to make things clear. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, isn't an unreasonable person.

With his arms crossed, Tobirama Senju coldly asked Orochimaru several questions in succession:

"Where is this? Who are you? And what is your purpose in bringing me back to life?"

Seeing that Tobirama Senju was distrustful of him, Orochimaru immediately realized that Tobirama seemed to have misunderstood something.

Orochimaru then explained to Tobirama Senju, "This is the Land of Grass, and this place is my base."

Hearing Orochimaru's words confirmed Tobirama Senju's suspicions.

"You are not from Konoha, yet you possess the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation. Are you perhaps an enemy of Konoha?"

"I'm going to kill you two enemies of Konoha right here... with my own hands."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju released a powerful aura, putting pressure on the two of them.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Tobirama Senju opposite him, Orochimaru solemnly raised two fingers to form hand seals, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Young man, you have a lot of courage, but that's enough."

Tobirama Senju naturally knew what Orochimaru was trying to do with the hand seals he was forming; it was simply an attempt to restrain and control him!

But at this moment, Tobirama Senju showed no fear of Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation. If he had been restrained before his resurrection, it would have been one thing, but he dared to keep his consciousness clear. Ultimately, he was still too young.

It's too late to do anything now!!!

Ultimately, the person who invented this ninjutsu was Tobirama Senju. After creating the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he had already devised a corresponding countermeasure.

As a master who created countless forbidden techniques, he naturally considered countless possibilities. How could he not have a backup plan?

If you think that the mere Impure World Reincarnation technique can easily restrain him, then you are seriously underestimating him, the Second Hokage.

Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju's eyes turned cold, and his powerful aura suddenly surged towards Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru.

Kabuto, the doctor on the field, turned pale and couldn't help but marvel: The Second Hokage's power is truly immense; just feeling that pressure is enough to make one unable to lift their head.

Facing this senior from the ninja world, Orochimaru also put away his usual arrogant and condescending attitude.

"I think you've misunderstood, Second Hokage."

Despite the oppressive aura emanating from Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru bowed respectfully and addressed him.

Tobirama Senju frowned, his aura softening slightly, wanting to hear what this young man would have to say.

Orochimaru's next words softened Tobirama Senju's attitude slightly.

"Second Hokage, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Orochimaru, and I am a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi." Facing Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru respectfully revealed his identity.

"Since they're from Konoha... then it's fine."

Tobirama Senju nodded slowly, acknowledging the identity Orochimaru had described.

Seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he believed that Lord Orochimaru was definitely able to defeat Tobirama Senju, since Tobirama Senju, who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei, could not fully unleash his original power.

If Lord Orochimaru were to unleash his full power, I believe he could defeat Tobirama Senju.

But the reason they resurrected Tobirama Senju was to save the world, not to have Tobirama fight them!

Now that we can turn hostility into friendship and clear up the misunderstanding, everyone is naturally happy.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Orochimaru got straight to the point, saying, "Second Hokage, I have some very important news to tell you."

"Speak," Tobirama Senju uttered calmly.

"The Uchiha clan has been wiped out." Orochimaru dropped this bombshell on Tobirama Senju.

"what?!"

Chapter 115 provides answers.

Before Tobirama Senju could process this shocking news, Orochimaru continued, "Not only the Uchiha clan, but the Hyuga clan, which was on par with him, has also disappeared."

"It's bad enough that the inherently evil Uchiha clan was wiped out, but even the Hyuga clan, who were loyal to the village... What on earth happened?" Tobirama Senju could no longer remain calm, and he muttered to himself with a furrowed brow.

Then, Tobirama Senju stared intently at Orochimaru and asked in a deep voice, "Explain all of this to me clearly, Orochimaru."

In response to Tobirama Senju's words, Orochimaru replied irrelevantly, "Second Hokage, your Impure World Reincarnation technique is not very difficult for me. You should know that if I wanted to, binding you would be a piece of cake."

“But I didn’t do that,” Orochimaru said.

Indeed, after obtaining the Scroll of Seals, Orochimaru began studying the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Furthermore, given his prior knowledge of this technique, he quickly mastered it.

He now possesses a deeper understanding of the Impure World Reincarnation than its creator, Tobirama Senju. Naturally, he has also learned how to control the dead.

Staring directly into Orochimaru's golden snake eyes, Tobirama Senju knew very well that the young man named Orochimaru before him was not lying; he was telling the truth.

Tobirama Senju also found Orochimaru's actions strange. Why didn't Orochimaru restrain him or strip him of his will? Instead, he kept Tobirama's consciousness clear.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique resurrects the dead by implanting talismans into their bodies to control them and make them fight for the caster.

This was also my original intention in inventing this technique: to use the dead to fight for my side.

The use of the reanimated dead, combined with appropriate ninjutsu, is a powerful tactic on the battlefield.

However, because the Impure World Reincarnation technique severely violated the ethics of life and death and was extremely disrespectful to the dead, it was met with strong opposition from his elder brother and the ninja below him.

Tobirama Senju understood this as well.

After all, the Impure World Reincarnation forcibly pulls the soul of the deceased back into reality, and also requires a human body as a sacrifice.

Even if it's resurrecting an enemy ninja, using the enemy's body as a sacrifice, it's considered inhumane by others.

When the ninjas from various other villages learned of this, they also had many complaints about Konoha.

This was something Tobirama Senju had to consider. Although Konoha was strong, it would be unwise to offend another ninja village because of this ninjutsu.

Taking into account various factors, Tobirama Senju included the Impure World Reincarnation technique, along with other ninjutsu he created, in the Scroll of Seals and classified it as a forbidden technique, rarely using it afterward.

However, Tobirama Senju had just been resurrected and hadn't had time to think about this in detail.

Now that Orochimaru brought it up, he remembered it.

But what does this have to do with the annihilation of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans? And what is the purpose of reviving himself?

A host of mysteries lingered in Tobirama Senju's mind.

At this moment, Orochimaru looked at Tobirama Senju with a smile and said, "The world is now facing destruction. After much thought, I believe that at this critical juncture of life and death, the only person who can solve this problem is you, the Second Hokage."

After listening, Tobirama Senju's expression gradually became serious. "I understand now. So that's why you didn't restrain me."

No wonder Orochimaru kept himself conscious; it turns out he had this in mind all along.

The current Tobirama Senju has completely lost his displeasure at Orochimaru's resurrection of him.

Orochimaru's ability to revive him, allowing him to continue contributing to Konoha even after death, was something Tobirama Senju desperately wanted. Like his elder brother Hashirama Senju, he deeply valued Konoha.

The world is now facing a crisis of destruction, and as the Second Hokage, he cannot stand idly by.

But he needed to find out the whole story before he could get involved without knowing the details.

Tobirama Senju looked at Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi beside him and voiced his questions one by one: "You, Orochimaru, you still haven't explained why the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were wiped out? Also, what is your purpose in reviving me?"

Compared to Tobirama Senju's urgency, Orochimaru appeared calm and composed.

Although the world was facing destruction, he had already devised a plan that would protect him.

It should be the ninja villages around the world that are worried, not Orochimaru, the traitorous ninja of Konoha.

However, if the world were to be destroyed, Orochimaru would lose far too much of the joy of living.

If the world were to be destroyed, his obsession with immortality and the Sharingan would become meaningless. This is something Orochimaru does not want to see.

He also wanted to learn all the ninjutsu in the world, create more ninjutsu, and explore the mysteries of the world.

This is also his purpose in pursuing immortality and the Sharingan.

Everything he did was to get everything!!

How can you let the world be destroyed before you've even gotten everything you want?

Therefore, he wanted to answer Tobirama Senju's questions and help him gain control of the situation and earn his trust.

Orochimaru slowly began to speak to Tobirama Senju, saying, "The person who wiped out the Uchiha clan was a talented young man named Itachi Uchiha. He was a ninja who viewed relationships like village, clan, and comrades as burdens."

"For reasons unknown, on the night of the Uchiha massacre, he personally killed his fellow Uchiha clan members one by one."

"He abandoned everything and finally gained immense power—the Mangekyou Sharingan."

At the end, Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes full of admiration.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

At that moment, Tobirama Senju thought of his disciple, Kagami Uchiha.

Uchiha Kagami transcended the boundaries of his clan, truly considering himself a member of Konoha. This is why, despite Tobirama Senju's apprehension towards the Uchiha, he never gave up on integrating the Uchiha clan into the larger family of Konoha.
