Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Orochimaru silently picked at his ear, then turned away as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Indeed, a kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances.

His ruthless approach, however, made the whole thing run perfectly.

While the two were bickering, the sophisticated instruments beside them had already started running at high speed, and the humming of gears meshing echoed throughout the laboratory.

Using machines to control ninjutsu and cell culture is far more stable than doing it manually.

Even among powerful figures like Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who reached the level of the Legendary Sannin, there are subtle differences each time they use the same ninjutsu.

Normally, it may be insignificant to the enemy, but in the field of scientific research, every bit of data deviation can lead to drastically different final results. Every inch of space here cannot tolerate the slightest error.

"Swish."

As the roar of the machine gradually subsided, the hatch of the incubation chamber slowly opened, revealing four figures lying quietly inside. Though their breaths were faint, they were undeniably alive.

The bodies of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were preserved, as was those of Izuna Uchiha, but Madara Uchiha's remains have long since vanished.

Fortunately, Yun An and Orochimaru had already collected his cells from various places, used cell propagation to cultivate a complete physical body, and then used special ninjutsu to awaken his soul. This operation was basically the same as the method used to revive Nohara Rin.

However, the scene after the resurrection was clearly somewhat out of control.

"Uchiha Izuna. You're still alive."

Tobirama Senju was the first to open his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Izuna Uchiha beside him. A fighting spirit surged in his eyes, and his hands instinctively formed ninjutsu hand seals, ready to make his move in the next moment.

Hashirama Senju, usually oblivious to everything else, reacted quickly, stopping his younger brother's movement and patting him on the shoulder with a hearty laugh: "Tobirama, you're just too cautious. Didn't you see that everyone around us is from Konoha?"

Our resurrection is probably inseparable from them, especially this one, who is the new Hokage of Konoha.

"Oh ho ho." Hashirama Senju said, waving enthusiastically at Orochimaru.

Hearing his brother's nonsensical words, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but sigh and reluctantly withdraw his ninjutsu.

Out of the corner of their eye, they glanced around and saw the massive barrier enveloping them, carrying a strong sealing aura. Clearly, the barrier would only be lifted once they were no longer a threat and had adapted to the situation.

This method is a constraint on the "resurrected ones," but for Konoha, it is the safest way to deal with the situation.

Once the Senju brothers, Hashirama and Izuna Uchiha had completely calmed down, the seals and barriers on their bodies were removed one by one by the laboratory staff.

The sheer complexity of the barrier was enough to make even Tobirama Senju, a genius in ninjutsu development, shudder and mutter to himself, "When did the Uchiha clan's sealing techniques reach this level?"

That was truly unexpected.

Uchiha Izuna's reaction was much the same.

The group was settled in the laboratory's reception area. Orochimaru stepped forward and personally explained the current situation of Konoha to them: "Nowadays, within Konoha, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan have long since buried the hatchet and live in harmony."

The Senju clan's bloodline, though integrated into the village as Hashirama and Tobirama had done, is also preparing to reunite at their clan's territory. Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan has made an agreement with Konoha that the Seventh Hokage will be a member of the Uchiha clan, with each Hokage serving a ten-year term, followed by a re-evaluation and selection process.

Upon hearing this, the fierce aura in Uchiha Izuna's eyes instantly dissipated by more than half.

not to mention.

His younger brother, who died young, was resurrected; Konoha has gone to such lengths.

If he keeps dwelling on past grievances, he'll seem petty and narrow-minded.

"You actually mastered this kind of ninjutsu..."

Uchiha Izuna stared at Orochimaru, his tone complex, "This is a forbidden technique that defiles the souls of the dead, and it was actually developed by you, Tobirama. It's truly chilling."

Although they coexisted peacefully, the rift between the Senju and Uchiha clans could not be completely erased overnight, and the distance and wariness in their words were still clearly visible.

But to have achieved this much is already a remarkable feat in the ninja world.

"If I hadn't developed this ninjutsu, and if the people of Konoha hadn't continuously improved it, do you think you'd still be awake now?"

Tobirama Senju raised an eyebrow in rebuttal, but his tone abruptly shifted as he stared intently at Orochimaru, his brows furrowing deeply. "But is it really alright to defile the corpses of the dead and disrupt the order of life and death?"

He has always been extremely particular about the righteousness or evil of magic, and this forbidden technique that defies fate is fundamentally unacceptable to him.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru silently turned to look at Yun An, who was still feeling sorry for the lost contribution points.

In fact, when he was developing this ninjutsu, he was not without concerns. He always held a certain reverence for the Pure Land where the soul should return.

Yun An explained to him that the Pure Land was originally empty, with only a Death God guarding it at most. As long as he explained the situation to the Death God and there was a small-scale resurrection, it would not affect the order of the Pure Land at all.

After all, it's just letting these deceased live a few more years, which is a trivial matter to the Grim Reaper.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Yun'an is strong enough to directly suppress Death, preventing it from uttering a single complaint.

"It's easy, isn't it?"

Yun An's nonchalant words at the time still resonate in Orochimaru's ears.

Yun An took Orochimaru's gaze, coughed lightly, and briefly recounted the story of the Grim Reaper.

After hearing this, Tobirama Senju remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

Ultimately, they are only a tiny minority, and the vast majority of them are already exhausted and nearing the end of their lives.

As for Hashirama, Izuna, and the like, they are extremely special exceptions. There are probably no more than a hundred of them in the entire ninja world combined, so they could not possibly have much impact on the order of life and death.

Fine, I'll just turn a blind eye.

But this calm didn't last long, as it was shattered by Tobirama Senju's suddenly grave tone: "Most importantly, Madara Uchiha has arrived."

His gaze suddenly turned fierce, and the air pressure around him instantly dropped.

He was a key figure who proposed weakening, and even nearly expelled, the Uchiha clan back then.

He had never had any goodwill towards Madara Uchiha, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the early internal conflicts within Konoha originated with Tobirama Senju.

"Brother, this time, we must not let him go no matter what."

Tobirama Senju abruptly turned to look at Hashirama Senju, his tone resolute and unwavering.

His words went unanswered. Hashirama Senju seemed not to have heard him at all, his gaze fixed on a certain direction in the laboratory, his face filled with surprise and astonishment. He muttered to himself, "He's here too. He didn't die after all. Or perhaps, he was resurrected by you as well?"
