Chapter 150: If you want world peace, start by establishing a unified nation.
Tobirama Senju was the second son of the Senju clan during the Warring States period and the second Hokage of Konoha during the ninja village era.
In short, throughout his life, he fought against the Uchiha during the Warring States period, suppressed the Uchiha after the village was founded, and even after Madara Uchiha died, he retrieved Madara's body to study the Uchiha.
It can be said that in the entire ninja world, Tobirama Senju was the person who understood the Uchiha clan the most, even better than the Uchiha clan themselves.
The forbidden techniques on the sealing scroll are diverse, and most of them were developed by him specifically to target the Uchiha clan.
But the more he acted this way, the more he understood the power of the Uchiha clan and the more he realized the terror of Susanoo.
"Hey Izuna, you've vented enough, haven't you?"
The giant Susanoo slowly dissipated, and Tobirama lay on the ground, panting heavily. Having gone through a great battle, he was covered in wounds, and it could be said that he was on his last breath.
Tetsuya knelt down next to Tobirama, looking at the cunning Second Hokage with white hair and red eyes.
"Yo, it's been a long time, Second Hokage. Do you still recognize me?"
Tobirama reluctantly turned his head to look at Tetsuya.
"You are... Chiba Tetsuya!? You've come to the Pure Land too? Has Konoha encountered some powerful enemy? Even you are dead."
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying? What do you mean I'm dead too? I'm alive and well."
"Still alive? Then what's going on? Wasn't I already dead? And where am I?"
"This is my kingdom. As for you, you were indeed dead before, but I have now resurrected you."
"resurrection!"
Tobirama grasped the key words and immediately connected them to many things.
"So, Izuna was also resurrected by you!"
"Congratulations, you got it right, but unfortunately there's no reward."
Tetsuya smiled and clapped his hands in encouragement.
"Izuna!"
Tobirama looked at Izuna with a complicated expression.
"Why did you save me in the first place? Why do you want to kill me now?"
"Save you? When did I ever save you? Hmph, if it weren't for Tetsuya's sake, you would have already returned to the Pure Land."
Izuna knew that Tetsuya had his own purpose in reviving Tobirama Senju, a naturally evil guy. Although killing him would allow Tetsuya to be resurrected again, it would cost Tetsuya a lot of money. He was also waiting to revive his brother, and he would need money then as well.
If it affects my brother's resurrection, that would be really bad.
Furthermore, he was also eager to see what Tobirama Senju's expression would be when he witnessed Konoha Village's decline.
"Didn't you save me? Back when the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out, I was being chased by Kinkaku and Ginkaku from Kumogakure. Wasn't it you who saved me?"
"The Fourth Shinobi World War? Which Fourth Shinobi World War are you talking about? I only participated once during the Second Shinobi World War, and I haven't participated in this Shinobi World War at all."
"Wait a minute, there are still several more Shinobi World Wars?"
Izuna did not answer, while Tobirama, enduring the pain in his body, looked at Tetsuya.
Tetsuya nodded in reply.
"Friendly reminder: So far, there have been three Shinobi World Wars. The Third Shinobi World War just ended not long ago. However, the post-war peace talks between the major shinobi villages have not yet begun, so strictly speaking, the Third Shinobi World War is not over yet."
Tobirama gasped, feeling a headache coming on; there was just too much information to process.
"No, now is not the time to dwell on these things. If it wasn't you who saved me back then, then who was it?"
Izuna looked at Tetsuya. Although Tetsuya had never told him about this, upon closer reflection, it seemed that only Tetsuya would do something like this.
Tetsuya chuckled.
"Well, back then I was just starting out and happened to run into this situation. I figured I couldn't just sit around and do nothing. But at that time, I didn't really want others to know about my abilities, so I borrowed your face for a bit."
Tobirama also realized what was happening.
"So, you were actually the one who saved me back then?"
"Congratulations, you got it right again, but unfortunately there's still no reward."
Having recovered somewhat, Tobirama stood up.
"So, what are you trying to achieve by doing all this?"
"What do you mean? Save you? Or something else?"
Tobirama asked seriously.
"Why did you resurrect us? Do you know that fooling the souls of the dead is a great disrespect to them?"
"What are you saying? How have I been deceiving the soul of the dead? You are the living now."
"The living..."
"Do you think I resurrected you using some low-level method like Impure World Reincarnation? This is a real resurrection, and it's a resurrection bound to me. As long as I don't die, I can revive you again by consuming certain resources. How can this be considered fooling the soul of the dead?"
Tetsuya revealed a rather arrogant smile.
"From the moment I resurrected you, you were no longer dead souls, but immortal beings surrounding me. As long as I live, you will never perish."
"How is that possible? Even the strongest person will eventually die!"
"When I saved you, didn't you already witness my immortality?"
Upon hearing Tetsuya's words, Tobirama immediately recalled the scene of Tetsuya being pierced through the chest by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
Despite suffering such a fatal injury, he turned the tables and killed his opponent as if nothing had happened.
"As for my purpose in resurrecting you people of the old era..."
After thinking for a moment, Tetsuya said.
"My current goal is to create a peaceful world. To achieve a peaceful world, I need some helpers, some powerful helpers."
"To create a peaceful world?"
Tobirama chuckled softly as he spoke.
"How could this be? I never thought you would be as naive as my older brother and me."
"Naive? I don't think so. I just think that Hashirama's method was wrong. It's impossible to build a peaceful ninja world simply by relying on mutual understanding between people, because it's impossible for people to understand each other. Even if they could understand each other, why should I sacrifice my own interests to protect the interests of others?"
Tobirama nodded. In fact, he felt the same way. However, the person who proposed mutual understanding between people was his older brother, and as the younger brother, he had to stand behind his older brother and support him.
"Therefore, if we want world peace, we must use some means, such as starting with establishing a unified country."
