You Died Too?· 15: Chapter 15: Tsunade…
You Died Too?· Orochimaru carefully considered the situation.
Setting the Ōtsutsuki Clan aside…
There were only a handful of people in the Naruto world capable of defeating Kaido.
Apart from Madara Uchiha…
The only other obvious candidate was Hashirama Senju.
The problem was…
Both of them were already dead.
There was also Nagato.
He certainly possessed the power to fight Kaido.
Whether he could actually defeat him, however…
Was another matter entirely.
If Nagato were in his prime…
He could undoubtedly battle Kaido.
But the current Nagato was far too weak.
More importantly…
The Rinnegan he possessed wasn’t truly his.
It belonged to Madara Uchiha.
As a result…
There were many of its abilities he couldn’t fully utilize.
Defeating Kaido under those circumstances would be extremely difficult.
Besides…
Orochimaru wasn’t exactly on good terms with Nagato.
Nagato had no reason to help him.
So…
Who else could?
At that moment…
A flash of inspiration struck Orochimaru.
Looking at Tsunade, he said, “Saving the ninja world is everyone’s responsibility.” “But relying on just the few of us will be difficult.” “Perhaps…” “We should summon the First and Second Hokage.” Tsunade immediately understood what he was really after.
She let out a cold laugh.
“So that’s your plan.” “You want to use the Reanimation Jutsu to bring back my grandfather and granduncle…” “So they can keep Kaido occupied for you.” Orochimaru didn’t deny it.
Instead, he replied, “Don’t you want them back?” “If the First Hokage returned…” “His strength could advance even further.” “He might even be capable of fighting the Ōtsutsuki Clan.” Tsunade had to admit…
He had a point.
Her grandfather’s strength had always bordered on the unbelievable.
Among shinobi…
Only the Sage of Six Paths surpassed him.
If Hashirama became even stronger…
Perhaps he really could stand against the Ōtsutsuki.
Seeing Tsunade hesitate…
Orochimaru continued persuading her.
“Didn’t the Second Hokage leave behind the Reanimation Jutsu…” “So it could be used at a time like this?” Understanding Orochimaru’s intentions…
Kabuto also spoke up.
“Lady Tsunade…” “We know you dislike disturbing the souls of the dead.” “But we can simply ask for their opinion.” “If neither the First nor the Second Hokage agrees…” “We can immediately release the Reanimation Jutsu.” Ryan rolled his eyes.
“That’s a meaningless argument.” “Hashirama might refuse.” “But Tobirama definitely won’t.” “You know exactly how to pressure Tsunade.” Orochimaru chuckled.
“We’re doing this for the sake of the ninja world.” What could Tsunade possibly say?
That she didn’t want to see her grandfather and granduncle again?
She could never bring herself to say those words.
Besides…
If the two of them truly returned…
The burden resting on her shoulders would become much lighter.
And even if she refused…
Would Orochimaru really abandon the plan?
Of course not.
She knew him far too well.
Seeing Tsunade remain silent…
Orochimaru understood she had tacitly agreed.
“Then let’s not waste any time.” “We begin immediately.” He stood up at once…
Returned to the ninja world through Ryan’s door…
With Kabuto following close behind.
After a brief moment of hesitation…
Tsunade agreed as well.
One Day Later Ryan and the others arrived at one of Orochimaru’s secret laboratories.
Orochimaru had begun researching the Reanimation Jutsu long ago.
He had obtained Hashirama Senju’s and Tobirama Senju’s cells before defecting from Konohagakure.
Reanimating the two brothers posed no difficulty whatsoever.
After completing the necessary preparations…
The God of Shinobi…
Hashirama Senju…
And his ever-present younger brother…
Tobirama Senju…
Returned to the world in reanimated bodies.
The moment they opened their eyes…
They saw Tsunade…
Orochimaru…
Shizune…
Kabuto…
And Ryan.
“Tsunade?” “Isn’t that little Tsunade?” The instant Hashirama opened his eyes…
He saw an excited blonde woman standing before him.
Looking more carefully…
He immediately recognized her.
“Isn’t that my granddaughter?” “My goodness…” “I’ve been dead for so many years…” “And now little Tsunade has grown into such a beautiful young woman.” Then…
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Wait…” “I’m dead…” “So why am I seeing little Tsunade?” His expression changed.
“Don’t tell me…” “You died too?” The moment those words left his mouth…
The excitement on Tsunade’s face vanished.
Her expression instantly darkened.
All the emotion she had been holding onto disappeared.
Seriously…
Imagine finally reuniting with your beloved grandfather…
Only for the first thing he says to be, “You died too?” Anyone would lose their enthusiasm.
Ryan simply thought, That’s so Hashirama.
The man really was an innocent fool.
“Calm down, Brother.” Tobirama immediately noticed something was wrong.
“Tsunade isn’t dead.” “We’re the ones who were summoned back to the ninja world.” Hashirama froze.
Only then did he realize…
This wasn’t the Pure Land.
And his body definitely wasn’t normal.
“I knew it…” “It’s your fault again, Tobirama.” “I told you long ago not to toy with the souls of the dead…” Just as Hashirama was about to begin another lecture…
Tobirama decisively changed the subject.
“Little Tsunade.” “Why did you summon us?” “Has something happened to Konohagakure?” After all…
Wasn’t that the reason he had created the Reanimation Jutsu in the first place?
So future generations could summon him during times of crisis.
Hearing that Konohagakure might be in danger…
Hashirama immediately forgot about scolding Tobirama.
He turned anxiously toward Tsunade.
Although he was dead…
There were still things he could never let go.
Konohagakure…
Was one of them.
Tsunade shook her head.
“It’s not Konohagakure.” “Grandfather…” “Granduncle…” “The problem…” “Is the entire ninja world.” Tobirama looked puzzled.
“The entire ninja world?” “What happened?” “As far as I know…” “The ninja world has always been the same.” Tsunade looked back at Ryan.
Ryan nodded.
He casually opened one of his doors…
And brought Hashirama and Tobirama into his own world.
There was no other choice.
Without passing through that door…
Neither of them would be able to understand the Naruto manga.
After all…
The manga was written entirely in Chinese.
Only after crossing the doorway…
Would they receive the language-comprehension ability granted by Ryan’s mysterious power.
Not only could they understand the manga…
They could even read Chinese itself.
It was one of the more remarkable aspects of Ryan’s ability.
“What?!” “The Uchiha Clan was massacred?!” The moment Hashirama opened Naruto…
He was completely stunned.
The Uchiha Clan had stood alongside the Senju Clan as one of the greatest clans in history.
They had survived for over a thousand years.
How could they have been wiped out so soon after Konohagakure was founded?
“Who did it?” “Who could possibly massacre the Uchiha Clan inside Konohagakure?” Hashirama instinctively turned toward his younger brother.
Tobirama immediately defended himself.
“Don’t look at me.” “I had nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan.” Although he constantly referred to them as the “cursed Uchiha…” He also knew they were among the strongest fighting forces in the ninja world.
A weapon that sharp…
Wasn’t something he would ever destroy himself.
He had no interest in cutting off one of Konohagakure’s own arms.
Even when Uchiha Setsuna…
One of the clan’s hardliners…
Had attempted to overthrow Konohagakure…
Tobirama hadn’t executed him.
Instead…
He imprisoned him and gave him time to reflect.
The truth was…
He was just as curious.
When he died…
The Uchiha Clan had still been at the height of its power.
So why…
Had they been wiped out?
