Hashirama Senju glanced blankly at the ceiling and muttered:
"Is it that guy called Orochimaru again?"
One of Hashirama Senju's corpses had always been in Orochimaru's possession.
When Orochimaru had been practicing the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, he had summoned Hashirama Senju before.
But after Senyo had talked him into coming to Konoha, he had found greater and better ambitions to pursue.
So he had never summoned him again.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju's memories still lingered on the last time Orochimaru had used Impure World Reincarnation on him.
He had no idea that he had already been revived, or that more than a decade had passed.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
Tsunade and Nawaki excitedly prepared to step forward, only for a long-haired man to beat them to it.
"Hashirama!"
Madara shoved everyone aside and stood directly beside Hashirama Senju.
Hashirama Senju gave a puzzled "Hm?" before sitting upright.
"Madara! How are you...?!"
Hashirama Senju belatedly touched his young body.
"This is...?"
The joy on Madara's face was practically overflowing. Seeing the living Hashirama Senju had left him utterly thrilled.
"Both you and I have been revived. It's been fifty or sixty years since you died."
Hashirama Senju froze for a moment. His gaze moved through the crowd, first landing on Tsunade and Nawaki.
That blood connection immediately told him who they were.
"Are you Little Tsunade and Nawaki?"
Tsunade brought Nawaki to the bedside. "Grandpa!" x2
Hashirama Senju looked somewhat dazed before breaking into a guileless laugh.
"Ahahahaha! You've both grown so much."
"Little Tsunade, are you married?" Hashirama could not tell how old Tsunade was from her appearance.
Since he himself had been reborn, he had no idea whether Tsunade had been as well.
Tsunade beckoned Dan Katō over to her side.
"Grandpa, this is Dan Katō, my beloved."
Dan
