Chapter 144 The Ninja World! I, Hashirama Senju, have returned!
"Thank you very much, First Generation Master, Second Generation Master." Souji expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Hey, hey, I haven't said anything yet," Tobirama said.
"The Second Generation Lord disagrees?"
"That's not it. My opinion is the same as my brother's. Someone who can express such insights is someone worthy of entrusting Konoha with.
At least I haven't seen anyone else who can think to the extent you have..."
As Tobirama spoke, he gave Souji a rare smile.
"
But it can't be just my brother who has the final say. I should at least have a say too, or I will lose face.
The reward previously issued by the system, 'Edo Tensei', is similar to 'Edo Tensei' as the name suggests.
However, the difference is that Edo Tensei requires a living person as a sacrifice and can restore most of the deceased's power in life.
It also has the bug-like feature of unlimited chakra.
As for the Impure World Reincarnation, it is a simpler matter. Using this technique, the soul of the dead can appear in the human world.
However, it does not require a living sacrifice, and correspondingly, it cannot use chakra, meaning it has almost no combat power.
Of course, Souji doesn't need these two to fight at all, which doesn't matter.
As long as he has the means to bring them back to the human world, that's enough.
Unlike Edo Tensei, it doesn't require any price, which is actually a great advantage.
Although he had killed several thousand people, he was not a thug who enjoyed killing, and it would be best if he could avoid killing altogether.
As for whether the Konoha leadership, led by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, will honestly accept the fact that the First and Second Hokage have personally chosen him to succeed them...
After all, this was too sudden and unbelievable, so it was inevitable that some twists and turns would occur.
However, Hashirama, being an honest man, is an exception.
As for Tobirama, he is quite resourceful and cunning.
He will likely find a way to convince the Konoha leaders, who were originally his disciples, that he is the real deal and that they will make decisions based on their own will.
If you're worried that you can't even handle this small matter, then you're seriously underestimating the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Others might not dare to speak for themselves, but it's highly unlikely that Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi would defy the will of his master, Tobirama Senju.
Once victory is secured in these key areas, all other minor setbacks will be insignificant.
"Well then, you two, let's not delay any longer.
Now that we've made our decision, let's set off for the human world as soon as possible."
"We don't really care, but how are we going to get there?"
"I have a technique called 'Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation' that can summon the souls of the dead to the mortal world."
"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation? This technique..." Tobirama frowned slightly.
"Please rest assured, my technique is not the Impure World Reincarnation created by the Second Hokage, and it does not require the use of living people as sacrifices."
"That's good. That technique is still a bit too evil. It's best to keep it as a forbidden technique and seal it away."
"Actually, I think it's best to destroy forbidden techniques directly rather than seal them."
Tobirama shook his head slightly and said:
"I did think about it at the time, but I was reluctant to part with it! Even for me, that technique is a rare and excellent work.
It's hard to reproduce that level of inspiration.
There's still a lot of room for further exploration of the wonders of each technique.
After thinking it over, I finally decided to save it..."
Souji didn't say much, but inwardly he couldn't help but think, "The forbidden technique you're reluctant to destroy caused quite a bit of trouble in the original timeline..."
Admittedly, the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation is indeed incredibly miraculous, and even among the various outrageous ninjutsu, it is one of the most heaven-defying techniques.
In the original Chunin Exams, Orochimaru used only two weak Genin-level Sound Village ninjas as sacrifices to resurrect Hashirama and Tobirama.
Although their strength was greatly reduced, they were still at the level of a regular Kage.
In addition, they had two overpowered attributes: their bodies could regenerate infinitely and their chakra could be infinitely replenished.
Forget about science, the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation doesn't even cover ninjutsu anymore.
Although these are all things from later times and from the original timeline, in this world... only Madara Uchiha should know this technique.
At this point, it's uncertain whether Orochimaru has secretly learned the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. But even if he has, he's still far from mastering it and being able to apply it in actual combat.
Thinking of this, the Souji paused slightly.
We cannot rely entirely on the original timeline to make judgments, since the current world has been completely disrupted by his existence.
It would not be surprising if any changes occurred that differed from the original.
Anyway, he's using cheat codes, throwing away nothing, and triggering an erasure at the level of causality.
Even the Impure World Reincarnation won't work; whether they're alive or dead, they're all doomed.
Even if Madara Uchiha were killed beforehand and then resurrected using Edo Tensei, it would still make no difference.
Even though Madara is strong, he is still considered to be at the Kage level, not at the Six Paths level.
Even if such a thing were to happen, it would be nothing more than a matter of throwing a kunai at him.
...
Souji, along with the Kagebe group, returned to the human world through Rashomon.
Now that we've reached an agreement with the two Hokage, we should act without delay and move things forward as soon as possible.
However, before that, the war between Konoha and Kumogakure and Iwagakure must be resolved first.
The Souji instructed Sasori to bring out two specially crafted puppets, and then formed a series of hand seals on the two puppets.
"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation!"
The Souji gave a low shout and unleashed a large amount of chakra.
The world of the dead, the underworld, is also known as the Pure Land.
Conversely, the human realm, a place of constant chaos and suffering for all beings, is called the defiled land
The names of the two techniques, Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation and Impure World Spirit Descent, both originate from this.
The invisible soul of the dead, guided by the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, attached itself to the puppet, trembled slightly, and then began to move with a creaking sound.
The appearances of the two puppets transformed into those of Hashirama and Tobirama at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two looked at their bodies with curious eyes, then clenched their fists, trying out the tactile sensation of physical activity.
"Hmm, not very flexible, and I don't feel anything in my body..." Tobirama said.
As the creator of the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, and having been quite devoted to developing and researching ninjutsu during his lifetime, Tobirama naturally felt both curious and somewhat competitive about a similar Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation.
Hashirama, however, remained calm and composed.
"There's nothing we can do. This technique only allows our souls to attach to the puppet; it's not a resurrection..."
"Anyway, we're already dead, so being able to see this world again is already a blessing.
There's nothing else to complain about!"
Hashirama raised his head, put his hands on his hips, and looked around at the scenery with a wistful expression.
"The ninja world! I, Hashirama Senju, have returned!"
