Hashirama Senju returned to the village, and soon after, he disappeared with some money.

He frequented various gambling dens.

Tobirama Senju, however, had more important business to attend to. Upon returning to the village, he didn't gamble, take a bath, or buy "Icha Icha Paradise." Instead, he immediately sought out Hiruzen Sarutobi and mobilized the Anbu to gather intelligence on the Uchiha clan.

Upon learning that the Uchiha clan now numbered only a handful and that the clan leader was a simple-minded young man, Tobirama Senju was as happy as a child.

As for Minato Namikaze, he naturally went to visit Naruto Uzumaki.

The tearful reunion between father and son goes without saying. After resolving his relationship with his son, Minato Namikaze went to pay his respects to Kushina Uzumaki.

In addition, when no one was around, they dug a hole and dug up the soil to find Kushina Uzumaki's corpse and took a piece of her hand bone.

Then, he found Orochimaru again.

Orochimaru.

"I brought Kushina Uzumaki's hand bone."

"What preparations are needed for the Impure World Reincarnation? Tell me, and I'll do whatever I can," Minato Namikaze said sincerely.

However, Orochimaru still looked troubled.

“This… the Fourth Hokage.”

"It's not that I don't want to agree, it's that I really can't help you."

Minato Namikaze: "How could that be?"

"You are Orochimaru, with the power of the Impure World Reincarnation. If I don't believe you, who else can I trust?"

"Please, I'm begging you, please help me."

In desperation, Minato Namikaze said some very soft words: "It was my fault for winning the election back then, and I apologize to you."

"Right now, I just want to see Kushina one more time in the limited time I have left."

"Please, please!"

Chapter 598 The Descent of the God-Tree Realm

Minato Namikaze's feelings were sincere and heartfelt.

Orochimaru also felt a little reluctant.

Of course, despite feeling reluctant, things still couldn't be accomplished.

He had no intention of even trying to revive Kushina Uzumaki.

He helped that guy, Shingetsu Seiun, revive Uzumaki Kushina, and even with his aloof personality, he remained curious about what happened afterward for over a month.

Kushina Uzumaki's fate is self-evident.

Now that the psychic has appeared, what should we do?

Should we have Edo Tensei Minato hunt him down?

So no matter what Minato Namikaze said, Orochimaru only had two words to say—No way!

Minato Namikaze was helpless.

Finally, he took the hand bone and found Tobirama Senju.

Compared to Orochimaru, who walks the shadows with a flexible moral compass, he was somewhat reserved with Tobirama Senju, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to come and give it a try.

"Tobirama-sama."

“I have something… I’d like to ask for your help with.” Minato Namikaze carefully chose his words before telling Tobirama Senju what he needed.

"Can you still use the Impure World Reincarnation technique while in the Impure World state?"

Faced with Minato Namikaze's plea, Tobirama Senju thought for a moment and did not refuse.

“I can give it a try.”

The other party wasn't trying to do anything evil; he just wanted to see his ex-wife before he disappeared and reminisce about the past. What could he have done wrong?

Of course, we should satisfy the other party!

With a mix of tension and excitement, Minato Namikaze gathered the necessary materials—White Zetsu prisoners he had obtained from Tsunade. After completing the preparations, he used the hand bones brought by Minato to perform the Impure World Reincarnation.

Go all out!

Nothing happened.

Tobirama Senju's expression darkened, and he stubbornly tried again.

There was still no movement.

After this happened several times, Tobirama Senju stopped moving, his face expressionless.

Minato Namikaze's disappointment was evident: "Lord Tobirama."

"The body resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation technique is indeed no good."

"I underestimated the situation."

Tobirama Senju scratched his head and remained silent.

He felt it wasn't something related to his impure body.

Instead... the Impure World itself stopped reacting?

No such person found?

I don't understand.

Just as he was about to express his feelings, his expression suddenly changed.

Suddenly, I looked up at the sky.

Minato Namikaze, who was standing nearby, also noticed the fluctuations in the sky. He looked up and saw a figure flying across the sky.

"Such a powerful aura, such a strong energy fluctuation." Tobirama Senju's expression was more solemn than ever before.

The figure that had just flown by had an unfamiliar aura, but that profound pressure... had only ever appeared on Hashirama Senju.

He looked in the direction where the figure disappeared, and his expression changed.

That's the direction of the capital of the Land of Fire.

...

"Hahaha~"

"Hashirama, I can sense your presence!"

"Get out here now!!"

Above a casino in the capital of the Land of Fire.

Madara Uchiha spoke, and his voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

On the street, pedestrians scattered in panic. Patrolling ninjas and samurai came out after hearing the commotion. When they saw the figure floating in the sky and felt the incredibly powerful chakra fluctuations emanating from it, they all fled in terror.

Inside the casino, Hashirama Senju stared at the scattered gamblers, first stunned, then his face filled with anger.

"hateful!"

"It's actually affecting my losses!"

Hearing the familiar voice outside, Hashirama Senju stepped out and leaped onto the roof.

He was stunned when he saw the white-haired Uchiha Madara in the sky.

"You changed your look?"

"Something's not right!" Hashirama Senju realized, "What's with the energy fluctuations around you!?"

Madara Uchiha smiled.

Hahaha~

"Hashirama, look at me, how much do I still resemble the old me?"

Do you know why I look the way I do now?

"I'm telling you, I've become stronger!"

"The power of the Ten-Tails is within me. Now, I am the strongest!"

Hashirama Senju's expression was solemn.

"Ten-Tails?"

Madara Uchiha: "That's right!"

"When the energy of the nine tailed beasts is gathered in one place, it becomes the ten-tailed beast."

"Now, the power that makes the ninja world tremble is all mine."

Hashirama: "With such powerful energy, aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Madara Uchiha's laughter faltered.

A warm feeling suddenly welled up in my heart—as expected, Hashirama still cared about me.

Shaking his head and putting aside his soft-hearted feelings, Uchiha Madara said loudly, "Of course I don't feel bad!"

"I'm doing great now, better than ever before!"

"The ninja world is beneath my feet, and ninjas are like ants before me."

"Now, no one can stop me."

"I want to create an unprecedented peace and stop all conflict in the world."

Madara Uchiha said, looking smugly at Hashirama Senju.

However, Hashirama Senju still did not agree with his ideas.

"Peace gained by force is only a false peace."

"It won't last. Spots."

"Hmph!" Madara Uchiha's expression darkened. "Can't last long?"
