Chapter 160 Madara Uchiha's Thoughts

Let's turn back time a little.

When Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju fought in the Forest of Death, they made a great commotion.

Standing atop the Hokage Rock, the highest point in the village, Tobirama Senju immediately spotted Madara Uchiha's Susanoo and his elder brother's Wood Release: Wood Release.

He immediately began to gather the ANBU ninjas and ordered them to go to the entrances of the Death Forest to stop the other ninjas from entering the forest.

At the same time, send the middle and lower-ranking ninjas in the village to reassure the villagers and tell them not to panic.

After arranging these matters, he finally had time to think about why that brat Uchiha Madara had come to Konoha.

"Could it be because of my older brother?"

Tobirama Senju knew that the relationship between Madara Uchiha and his older brother was very complicated.

Once he learns of his elder brother's resurrection, Madara, whether he believes it or not, will most likely return to the village to take a look.

But Tobirama couldn't quite understand it.

Ever since he resurrected his elder brother, Hashirama Senju has always worn a mask, except when he is at the Senju residence.

He wasn't wearing the armor he usually wore, but rather casual clothes.

Even in this state, Tobirama couldn't believe that anyone would recognize his older brother.

Therefore, he ruled out this option.

So, if it wasn't because of his older brother, then why did Madara Uchiha return to Konoha?

Could it be because he's bored out of his mind, got tired of staying somewhere in the ninja world, and is homesick?

What is this? The temptation to go home?

Besides, does Madara Uchiha still have a house in the village now?

When he left Konoha, he did so alone; not a single ninja from the Uchiha clan was willing to follow him.

Therefore, it's unlikely that Madara Uchiha was homesick.

"So, what is the reason for this?"

Tobirama Senju could never have imagined this.

Madara Uchiha returned to Konoha because Tobirama discovered the truth behind Madara's faked death and even captured the White Zetsu sent by Tobirama, causing Madara and Black Zetsu to lose information about Konoha. This made Tobirama realize something was wrong, so he returned to Konoha to find out what was going on.

However, the Uchiha were discovered by Hashirama Senju as soon as they returned to the village. It's hard to say whether they were just unlucky or incredibly lucky.

"Hmm? The battle over there is over?"

Not long after standing on the Hokage Rock in thought, Tobirama saw that Susanoo and the wooden figures in the distance had disappeared.

Regardless of whether the battle was truly over, he flashed and began heading towards the Death Forest.

Besides the space-time ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama Senju's Body Flicker Technique was also extremely powerful.

In no time at all, he arrived at the place where Hashirama and Madara were fighting from the Hokage Rock.

Looking at the chaotic scene around him, Tobirama approached Hashirama and asked, "Where's Madara? Did you kill him?"

Hashirama rolled his eyes at his younger brother and replied, "Madara isn't our enemy now, why would I kill him?"

"What about him?"

"Of course I left."

"That's strange. Didn't you try to stop him and let him return to Konoha?"

"Nonsense, of course I tried to persuade him to come back, but he refused. Even when I told him that I could help him be resurrected after he died and have a young body again, he still refused to come back, saying that he didn't trust you."

Tobirama nodded.

Putting himself in his shoes, he wouldn't trust someone who killed his beloved younger brother, while also constantly guarding against him and opposing his family.

"You didn't tell him the secret of the resurrection technique, did you?"

"I'm not stupid. Besides, you never told me the secret of the resurrection technique, did you?"

"Alright, let's go back to the village first. In a little while, tell me the whole story of how you met Uchiha Madara."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, the Senju brothers returned to their village.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu also left Konoha Village.

Turning back to look at the village, which was faintly visible, Black Zetsu asked, "Lord Madara, why didn't you agree to let Hashirama Senju return to Konoha?"

"Why go back to Konoha? There's nothing there left for me to miss."

In the present Konoha Village, only the recently resurrected Hashirama Senju can give Madara Uchiha a little cause for concern.

As for the villagers and clansmen, he didn't care at all.

Furthermore, where would he stay if he went back?

Are you still living in the Uchiha mansion?

Ban would feel very uncomfortable facing those who had not followed him in the past.

Those people will likely feel awkward, extremely awkward, when they see Ban again.

"Didn't Hashirama Senju say that he would have Tobirama Senju revive you? If you regain a young body, you won't need to go to such lengths to find a successor or someone capable of taking on the Rinnegan."

"I don't trust that brat Tobirama. If Hashirama is my friend, then that brat is my enemy. I will never forget the moment he killed Izuna."

At this point, Madara Uchiha suddenly had an idea.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

If Tobirama Senju could revive Hashirama Senju, could he also revive his younger brother Izuna?

Madara didn't know how Tobirama resurrected Hashirama, but there were only a few ways.

First: Resurrecting someone using their corpse.

Madara Uchiha thought this was a bit unreliable.

Hashirama has been dead for so many years, his body has long since turned into a pile of bones.

Is it too difficult to restore the skeleton to its human form?

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha refused to believe that Hashirama had been resurrected in this way.

Because Izuna's body has disappeared with the passage of time.

His parents' bodies also disappeared, as did the bodies of Hashirama's parents and others from the Senju side.

If Tobirama's resurrection technique really works this way, then Izuna wouldn't be able to be resurrected.

Second: Using some medium, the souls of the deceased are summoned to the Pure Land, and then placed into a pre-prepared body to complete the resurrection.

This is the method that Madara Uchiha believes is the most likely.

However, there are many problems that need to be solved.

Regarding the summoning of Pure Land souls, Madara Uchiha knew that Tobirama Senju had a forbidden technique called the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

This technique can summon the souls of the dead in the Pure Land, allowing them to return to the mortal world and become the caster's puppet.

So here's the question: how does Tobirama Senju extract the soul from the impure body and put it back into the prepared body?

Even if he has a way, how do we deal with the body used by the resurrected person?

Having resolved the physical issues, the compatibility between the soul and the body also needs to be addressed.

There are too many and too big of problems. If Madara Uchiha were to handle them himself, he would definitely be completely baffled.

It would be better to find a tool person who can withstand the Rinnegan, and have that tool person use the Rinne Rebirth technique within the Rinnegan to revive him.

Upon thinking of the Rinnegan, Madara touched his own eyes.

These eyes belong to Izuna. If Tobirama Senju used the second method to revive Hashirama Senju, then Izuna would have a very good chance of being revived.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Tobirama, that brat, agrees to help, and he also has to give the other party a certain amount of trust.

Hmm, he needs to think about it carefully.

"Let's go, Jue, let's go back to the cemetery first."

"Yes, Lord Madara!"
