Uchiha Nan rapidly formed hand seals. A white light appeared over the death-row prisoner before him, who turned into reanimated earth amid agonized screams. Hashirama Senju's face emerged within it.
Hashirama Senju had arrived!
A delighted smile appeared on Uchiha Nan's face. It seemed the technique had succeeded.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Uchiha Nan was using Tobirama Senju's version of Impure World Reincarnation. The sacrifices were all ordinary death-row prisoners, not even ninja.
Hashirama Senju was very weak now, and control over the reincarnated man was firmly in Uchiha Nan's hands.
Hashirama Senju wore dark crimson armor from the Warring States period as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Is this the Pure Land?"
Hashirama Senju looked around. The small, dark room contained only a few burning braziers.
"Looks like the Pure Land's environment isn't all that great either!"
"That's..."

When fellow townsmen met, tears welled up in both their eyes.
"Which Hokage of Konoha are you?"
"Where's Tobirama?"
"It's such a shame he died so young."
"How is Konoha doing now?"
Hashirama Senju quickly walked up to Uchiha Nan, his mouth running nonstop as he tried to learn what had become of Konoha after his death.

In a sense, Hashirama Senju was even more obsessive than Uchiha Madara.
"First Hokage, you're getting too worked up."
Hashirama Senju
