Impure World Reincarnation was developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, but the one who truly spread this forbidden jutsu throughout the Ninja World was Orochimaru!
Uchiha Shin had obtained Impure World Reincarnation by searching Konan's memories, and Konan had gotten it from Orochimaru.

At this time, because he was traveling, Uchiha Shin could not monitor the situations on the various battlefields through the ninja reincarnated with Impure World Reincarnation. Fortunately, Zetsu had been following him the entire way, constantly sharing the battle reports from over there.

However, Uchiha Shin's goal was not merely to revive
