Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

Let's rewind a bit.

When Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were fighting in the Forest of Death, causing a huge commotion, Senju Tobirama, standing at the highest point of the village on Hokage Rock, immediately spotted Madara's Susanoo and his older brother's Wood Release technique.

Without hesitation, he began calling in the Anbu ninjas, ordering them to head to the entrances of the Forest of Death and stop any other ninjas from entering.

At the same time, he instructed the village's Chunin and Genin ninjas to calm the villagers and prevent panic.

Once those arrangements were made, he finally had time to think: Why in the world would Uchiha Madara come to Konoha?

"Could it be because of my older brother?"

Tobirama knew that the relationship between Madara and his brother was complicated.

If Madara found out that his brother had been revived, whether he believed it or not, he would likely return to the village to check on him.

But Tobirama found it hard to believe.

Since he revived his older brother, except for when they were at the Senju estate, Hashirama had always worn a mask. He wasn't wearing his usual armor, but casual home clothes.

With all this, Tobirama didn't believe anyone could recognize his brother.

So, he dismissed this possibility.

If it wasn't because of his brother, then why would Uchiha Madara return to Konoha?

Could it be because he was bored, tired of some place in the ninja world, and homesick?

What was this? The temptation to go home?

Besides, did the village even still feel like home to Madara?

When he left Konoha all those years ago, he left alone, and not a single Uchiha followed him.

So, Madara being homesick seemed impossible.

"Then, what is the reason?"

Tobirama couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried.

The reason Uchiha Madara returned to Konoha was because Tobirama discovered the truth about Madara's fake death and captured the White Zetsu he had sent. 

This made Madara and Black Zetsu lose access to Konoha's intelligence, which alerted Madara to something being off, prompting his return to the village to find out what was going on.

However, as soon as Madara returned to the village, he was discovered by Senju Hashirama. It was unclear whether it was bad luck or good luck.

"Hmm? Did the battle over there end?"

After thinking for a while on Hokage Rock, Tobirama noticed that the Susanoo and the wooden statue in the distance had disappeared.

Not caring whether the battle was truly over, he disappeared in a flash, heading toward the Forest of Death.

In addition to his Flying Thunder God technique, Tobirama's Body Flicker Technique was also incredibly powerful.

It didn't take long for him to travel from Hokage Rock to the place where Hashirama and Madara had been fighting.

Looking around at the devastation, Tobirama walked up to Hashirama and asked, "Where's Madara? Did you kill him?"

Hashirama rolled his eyes at his younger brother and replied, "Madara's not our enemy anymore. Why would I kill him?"

"Then where is he?"

"Of course, he left."

"That's strange. You didn't try to convince him to return to Konoha?"

"Of course, I did. But he refused. Even when I told him that after he dies, you could revive him and give him a young body again, he still refused. He even said he didn't trust you."

Tobirama nodded.

If he were in Madara's position, he wouldn't trust someone who had killed his beloved brother, always kept his guard up, and opposed his clan.

"You didn't tell him the secret of the Resurrection Jutsu, did you?"

"I'm not an idiot. Besides, you never told me the secret of the Resurrection Jutsu either."

"Alright, let's head back to the village. When we get there, you can tell me everything that happened when you encountered Uchiha Madara, from beginning to end."

"Alright."

On this side, the Senju brothers returned to the village.

On the other side, Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu also left Konoha.

Looking back at the village, which was barely visible, Black Zetsu asked, "Lord Madara, why didn't you agree to Senju Hashirama's return to Konoha?"

"Return to Konoha? What for? There's nothing there that makes me want to go back."

The only thing that could make Madara feel a little connected to Konoha now was the recently revived Senju Hashirama.

As for the villagers, his clan, he didn't care at all.

Besides, if he returned, where would he stay?

Would he stay in the Uchiha compound?

Facing those who didn't follow him back then, Madara would feel extremely uncomfortable.

And those people, when they saw him again, would probably feel embarrassed. Very embarrassed.

"Didn't Hashirama say he would ask Tobirama to resurrect you after death? If you had a young body again, you wouldn't need to worry about finding a successor, or someone who could bear the Rinnegan."

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

At this point, Madara suddenly had an idea.

If Tobirama could resurrect Hashirama, then could he resurrect his brother, Izuna?

Madara didn't know how Tobirama had revived Hashirama, but there were only a few possibilities.

First: Using the corpse of the person to bring them back to life.

Madara thought this was a bit unreliable.

Hashirama had been dead for so many years, and his body had long turned to bones.

Could bones really be restored into a human form? Isn't that a bit too difficult?

Also, Madara didn't want to believe that Hashirama was revived this way.

Because Izuna's body had long since disappeared with the passage of time.

Along with it, the bodies of his parents and Hashirama's parents had disappeared as well.

If Tobirama's resurrection technique is really this method, then Izuna won't be able to be revived.

Second: Using some sort of medium, summon the soul of the deceased from the Pure Land, and then place that soul into a body that was prepared in advance, completing the resurrection.

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

However, there are many issues to resolve in the process.

For summoning the souls from the Pure Land, Madara knows that Senju Tobirama has a forbidden jutsu called Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu).

This jutsu can summon the souls of the deceased from the Pure Land, bringing their souls back to the living world and turning them into puppets for the caster.

So, here's the problem: How would Senju Tobirama extract the soul from the Reanimated body and place it into a pre-prepared body?

Even if he has a way to do that, what about the body that will be used for the resurrection?

Once the body issue is solved, the compatibility between the soul and the body must also be addressed.

There are just too many issues, and if Madara were to handle it himself, he'd definitely end up confused.

It would be better to find a pawn who can bear the power of the Rinnegan and have that pawn use the natural powers of the Rinnegan to revive him.

Thinking about the Rinnegan, Madara touched his own eyes.

These eyes belong to Izuna. If Tobirama were to use the second method to resurrect Hashirama, then Izuna would have a very good chance of being revived.

Of course, the condition is that this brat Tobirama agrees to help, and that he trusts the person enough to do so.

Hmm, he needs to think this through carefully.

"Let's go, Zetsu. We'll head back to the graveyard."

"Understood, Lord Madara!"
