Chapter 452 The Resurrected Person of World Number Two, Tobirama Senju's Trust in Him (5K)

By the time Madara Uchiha had made all the preparations, it was already three days after their last meeting.

Meanwhile, the Ninja World No. 2 wasn't doing nothing either.

Orochimaru from World 2, along with a group of people, went to release the souls of the Hokage of the Second Shinobi World from the stomach of the Shinigami, just like in the original story.

Besides the people from the main world, people from the Second Ninja World also participated in this matter. It was a consensus reached by both sides and an opportunity to strengthen the Second Ninja World's power—those resurrected Hokage and strongmen from previous generations would basically exist as the power of the Second Ninja World.

While these are all excellent talents, they are not research-oriented like Orochimaru, so they are not of much use to Konoha in the main world, since they already have almost all of them, and they are mostly upgraded versions.

As for research talents like Tobirama Senju, they will be scouted and placed in suitable positions, and Konoha No. 2 has no objection to this.

In fact, this was something that both sides had agreed upon long ago in this major revival operation.

This can be seen as a collaborative effort that benefits both parties, so many things can be handled in a relatively convenient way.

What? Orochimaru #2 is in charge of retrieving the souls of the past Hokage and resurrecting them using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Will he take this opportunity to cause trouble?

Well, is it possible that even if we actively release Orochimaru No. 2 and let him leave on his own, he wouldn't agree, and might even be greatly shocked by it, feeling the anger of being abandoned?

There's no way around it; the research environment in the main world is just too good. It's so good that even though Orochimaru #2 was only forcibly dragged here to do research, he quickly fell in love with the current environment.

Although Orochimaru #2 is not qualified to directly enter the genjutsu world due to his identity, he can still systematically learn through study scrolls.

In this super learning environment that far surpasses the ninja world and is even impossible to exist on Earth, Orochimaru, the rogue ninja of World 2, is completely immersed in it, unable to extricate himself from the ocean of knowledge, and is thus completely submerged by endless knowledge.

Over the course of several months, Orochimaru, the rogue ninja, was completely won over, both physically and mentally. He was now willing to become a research assistant and readily accepted all sorts of tasks assigned to him.

Because having a mission proves that he has value, and it proves that Orochimaru, the traitorous ninja, can continue to indulge in the academic environment.

Furthermore, the false proposition of immortality has already been achieved.

Just like in the original story, Orochimaru obtained a truly immortal body by taking over the body of a White Zetsu, thus fulfilling the ideal he had pursued in the first half of his life.

Then, while completing his mission, he also had endless knowledge to learn and pursue. For the rogue ninja Orochimaru, such an environment was paradise within paradise, a wonderful place that he would never want to leave even if he were driven away.

In fact, even for this mission, the rogue ninja Orochimaru was unwilling to do it.

It's not that I feel I'll suffer any loss; I just simply don't want to leave the research institute.

This trip forces the rogue ninja Orochimaru to leave his beloved research institute for a period of time, which is what's making him extremely upset right now. So, he can't wait to finish all the missions in one day.

Unfortunately, these ideas were destined to remain just beautiful fantasies. The rogue ninja Orochimaru still had to do his job honestly. Even though he was the fastest, it still took him three whole days to collect all the 'mission items' and rescue the souls of the past Hokage from the stomach of the Shinigami. Then, he used those stubborn 'rebellious White Zetsu' as sacrifices for the Impure World Reincarnation to complete the process of collective Impure World Reincarnation.

This includes the Hokage of all generations, Kushina Uzumaki from World 2, Sakumo Hatake, and other figures who are very important to Konoha 2.

Because Madara Uchiha's use of the Rinne Rebirth technique after accepting Hamura Otsutsuki was a collective act, he resolved all the problems at once.

Of course, there is a limit to the number of resurrections. Even if there is no limit, a limit must be added voluntarily, since the resurrection of the dead has too great an impact. Even if the price is bearable, it cannot be done casually.

The resurrected dead are all those who died suddenly; those who died of old age are not considered.

In fact, even Hiruzen Sarutobi from the No. 2 ninja world wouldn't be within the scope of resurrection.

Although the Third Hokage did a lot for Konoha and brought it to its peak, Konoha suffered many mishaps after the Nine-Tails' attack. While this was mainly due to the Nine-Tails' attack severely damaging Konoha's vitality, it is an undeniable fact that many things were handled improperly, leading to frequent negative consequences.

As a leader, one must bear the weight of the crown. Regardless of whether those events were the Third Hokage's will, since they occurred, someone must be held responsible. With Itachi Uchiha and Danzo Shimura already nailed to the pillar of shame, the Third Hokage naturally cannot be included in the list of those to be resurrected. Continuing to sleep eternally as a dead person is the consequence he must bear.

Everyone else will be resurrected.

Then, under these circumstances, and with the watchful eyes of two Konoha personnel, just like in the original story, the souls of the Hokage of all generations were released from the stomach of the Shinigami, and the rogue ninja Orochimaru quickly replaced his body with another White Zetsu.

Immediately afterward, the Impure World Reincarnation technique was completed, and one by one the dead were resurrected in the form of impure bodies. Among the Hokage in the original work, only Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul was sent to the Underworld and was not resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation.

Next, what the resurrected people saw was Orochimaru and many people from the two Konoha villages.

For the people in the main world, all of this was poignant, but they remained relatively calm. After all, they belonged to the Second Ninja World, and their feelings were not as intense.

But for the people of the Second Ninja World, the reaction was much bigger.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, immediately went up excitedly, Naruto Uzumaki rushed to his parents, Kakashi Hatake went to his father, Sakumo Hatake, and Sasuke Uchiha looked at his biological parents with a complicated expression.

All sorts of emotions from the reunion of life and death erupted at this moment.

Clearly, these people have a lot to say, and their moments of emotional release inevitably require some private space.

The rest of the people walked away without any rush, because at this time of family reunion, the living would help explain the situation. What they needed to do next was to go to the main world together, where the people would perform the resurrection ritual.

The reunion of family members elicited mixed reactions from people: some were confused, some were relieved, some were wistful, some were happy, and some were conflicted.

For example, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the second generation of ninjas, were happy for the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, but Hashirama was also very nervous and worried. He was afraid that Tsunade would mortgage Konoha as gambling money because of her gambling nature, which angered Tsunade and left Tobirama speechless. He inevitably scolded Hashirama again.

Then, Sasuke Uchiha sighed and felt melancholy. After all, he had already given up everything in World 2. Now that he could see his biological parents again and that they could be truly resurrected, he was indeed very emotional.

However, Sasuke Uchiha will not change his decision to continue staying in the main world. This is his own understanding and decision. He will respect his biological parents' choices and actions, and will offer them his blessings and the care they deserve.

There is no doubt that Sasuke Uchiha is significantly more mature now than he was a few months ago.

After all, he had experienced too much. Moreover, during his time in the main world, Uchiha Sasuke had been systematically studying in the learning space. Although he looked like a seventeen-year-old boy, his actual mental age was over twenty-five. Furthermore, he had a systematic learning career that he had not experienced in the original story. Everything he learned and understood in the learning space even surpassed the sum of the first seventeen years of his life.

In this situation, beneath the boy's outward appearance lies an incredibly mature soul, and even in his conduct and dealings with others, he completely surpasses the father he once admired.

Furthermore, after learning a great deal of knowledge and experiencing many situations in the learning space's dungeons, and truly understanding many things, Uchiha Sasuke found it quite difficult to accept his father's past actions. After all, in political and power struggles, there are both surrender factions and radical factions everywhere, each with their own demands and reasons, making either choice understandable.

Given the situation of the Uchiha clan back then, regardless of whether Fugaku Uchiha was a surrenderist or a radical, someone from the Uchiha clan would eventually survive. No matter how many or how few that person was, as long as they actively responded, there would always be an outcome that would allow the clan to continue.

However, faced with the choice between surrender and radical action, Fugaku Uchiha chose 'peace,' which directly led to a passive wait for death, ultimately resulting in an irreversible situation and the entire clan's defeat.

In the Uchiha clan massacre, Danzo Shimura and Itachi Uchiha bore the majority of the responsibility, but Fugaku Uchiha, as the clan head, also bore a significant share. It was precisely because he did absolutely nothing as clan head that such a tragic outcome occurred. It can only be said that Fugaku Uchiha was fundamentally unsuitable to be a clan head. The entire Uchiha clan, and even Konoha, were intimidated by his fierce appearance and demeanor, completely unaware of his true nature.

However, everything is in the past now. Fugaku Uchiha of the Second Shinobi World no longer has to bear the responsibility of the clan leader, and it is still unknown how many members of the Uchiha clan in the Second Shinobi World will be able to be resurrected. Therefore, there is no need to consider the revival of the Uchiha clan in the Second Shinobi World.

Anyway, everything has a master world.

Furthermore, the Uchiha clan's experiences in the main world are completely different from those in the Second Shinobi World. With the existence of Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha clan in the main world is destined to embark on a great path, so the Uchiha clan in the Second Shinobi World should not try to take advantage of this.

Next up are Kakashi Hatake and Sakumo Hatake.

For Kakashi, this was the second time he had met his father, and the situation was completely different from the last time; his mindset had changed entirely.

After they met, they stared at each other in silence, as if they had a lot to say but didn't know how to start.

After a long pause, Kakashi finally spoke: "Father, I have a lot to say to you, but now is not the time. Let's go home and talk about it slowly after you are truly resurrected! About you, about me, and about the future of Konoha."

Hearing Kakashi's calm yet profound words, Sakumo Hatake paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Thus, the father and son's first conversation after a long separation ended quickly.

Finally, there's Naruto Uzumaki and his parents, the Fourth Hokage couple.

At first, the two didn't recognize that Naruto was their son. After all, Naruto had died when he was young and they had never seen him grow up. The two chakras that remained in Naruto's body had never been used and had been dormant within him. Therefore, the two were completely unaware of Naruto's situation.

However, the feeling of being connected by blood, as well as the unique chakra spiritual connection of the ninja world, quickly allowed the Fourth Hokage and his wife to recognize Naruto Uzumaki's identity.

What followed was, naturally, a touching reunion.

For Naruto Uzumaki, although this was the second time he had reunited with his parents, his feelings were still quite strong. After all, although his parents in the main world were his parents by blood, in reality they were just counterparts of his parents, a classic case of a substitute for a meal.

Although both parties may have genuine feelings for each other, some things can never be completely replaced.

Only now, when true family members reunite based on emotion and blood, can emotions be fully and unreservedly expressed.

For the Fourth Hokage and his wife, this reunion was both touching and incredibly gratifying, because Naruto's growth had exceeded their expectations. His mature and wise eyes, his energetic body, and his powerful and abundant chakra all proved that Naruto had fully inherited their strengths and become a truly outstanding individual.

For parents who have passed away and never had the chance to be with their child, this is the most touching and heartbreaking thing, because they can imagine that Naruto must have suffered a lot to grow up to be so outstanding.

This meant that the Fourth Hokage and his wife had a lot to say and a lot to know, and Naruto was also very willing to communicate with his parents and tell them many things.

It can be said that the reunion of this family is the most emotionally resonant scene in Naruto.

Of course, all of this reunion is not the end. At least for the impure body, many emotions cannot be truly expressed. The incomplete body of the dead means that the line between life and death is very clear.

The next step, naturally, is to completely break down this boundary, allowing the dead to return to the light and obtain the flesh and blood that represents life.

However, some people are happy about the resurrection, while others are not and are rejecting it.

For example, Hashirama Senju said that they were all dead, and had been dead for decades, yet they were being resurrected. This completely broke the cycle of life and death, and was unacceptable.

In terms of attitude, there is a significant difference between him and Hashirama Senju in the main world.

The main reason is that Hashirama Senju in the main world was summoned as a heroic spirit, which he didn't consider a true resurrection. Moreover, he later met Nawaki and Tsunade, and learned that Madara Uchiha was still alive and had been deceived. So he wanted to do something for his best friend, which is why he accepted the resurrection.

As for what happens next...

Yeah, playing genjutsu games with my best buddy Uchiha Madara under an alias is so much fun, I just can't stop.

'Muzi' says this game is so damn fun!

In short, Hashirama Senju of the Second Shinobi World resisted resurrection. He believed that once a person dies, there should be no thought of resurrection—perhaps this was also because Orochimaru had used the Impure World Reincarnation technique on Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Second Shinobi World.

In short, Hashirama No. 2 was very conservative about the matter of resurrection.

Of course, this was no challenge for everyone. They had already analyzed and prepared for Hashirama Senju's personality. His resistance was not unexpected, and they had already prepared a response.

Next, people from the main world will appear and begin their persuasive (or deceptive) approach to Hashirama Senju.

As Hashirama Senju's external brain, Tobirama Senju naturally helped his older brother think things through at this time and then gave appropriate advice.

That's how it should be.

However, the rogue ninja Orochimaru directly handed Tobirama Senju a small notebook and chuckled under Tobirama's scrutinizing gaze, "This is from the Second Hokage of another world. You asked me to give it to you. That lord said that after you read it, you will know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju frowned slightly, then picked up the notebook and opened it to take a look. He immediately discovered that the writing inside was his own, but with some subtle differences. If one had to put it in perspective, it was a bit more 'delicate,' as if it were written by a woman.

This immediately piqued Tobirama Senju's curiosity, and after carefully reading the text, he was immediately drawn to the information within.

Because the content inside is very simple, consisting of all sorts of questions, and these are questions that Senju Tobirama was interested in, so it was obviously selected by another Senju Tobirama.

Without a doubt, this is the special attack text that Tobirama Senju in the main world uses against his other self, content that perfectly scratches the other's itch.

Furthermore, it was written in the guise of a white-haired, red-eyed beauty. Due to the difference in body shape and hand size, the difference in the text became apparent, and this was also a lure for Tobirama Senju, number 2.

As the person who knows 'himself' best, Tobirama Senju in the main world knows exactly how to attract the interest of his other self.

As expected, after reading through the notebook filled with various academic questions, Tobirama Senju remained silent for a long time, then nodded to indicate that he understood. He then handed the notebook back to the rogue ninja Orochimaru and stayed there without moving, showing no intention of advising his older brother.

Because, in addition to the various academic questions that interested him, the notebook also contained another statement from Tobirama Senju—don't worry, it won't harm 'Big Brother,' just come along.

Although Tobirama No. 2 was still unclear about many things, seeing the two Konoha people getting along well, he knew that their relationship was trustworthy, and Tobirama's attitude in the main world made him make up his mind.

Because Tobirama Senju believed that as long as it was Tobirama Senju, he would not harm their elder brother, Hashirama Senju!
