Acquiring the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Seeing this, Senju Tobirama breathed a long sigh of relief...

Thank goodness, I was saved!

But wasn't that kid an Uchiha?!

Not only had he called Uchiha Madara by name, but the two of them also seemed to be on equal terms...

Senju Tobirama's mind was filled with questions.

What was going on with his body?

And what was the deal with Uchiha Madara...

Why had Madara become so strong?

Where was this place?!

And what exactly was that kid...

Senju Tobirama had already sensed Ito Hirofumi's strength. It was pitifully weak!

But Tobirama had also discovered that he and the kid were bound by a Summoning Technique contract!

And he was the one being summoned.

Did that mean his current situation was somewhat like that of a summoning beast?!

Senju Tobirama couldn't make heads or tails of any of it!

He could only watch coldly as Uchiha Madara and the mysterious kid approached...

"Hello, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju! Let me introduce myself. I'm Ito Hirofumi!"

Ito Hirofumi waved weakly. After all, he'd nearly lost fifty million just now!

At that moment, Senju Tobirama was also surprised to discover that the wicked Uchiha Madara was bound to the mysterious kid by a Summoning Technique contract too—and he was also the one being summoned!

Didn't that mean his situation was the same as Uchiha Madara's?!

To figure out what was happening as quickly as possible, Senju Tobirama stopped provoking Uchiha Madara. He couldn't beat the guy, after all!

What a wicked Uchiha!!!

"Kid, Ito Hirofumi?!

What's going on?

What's happened to me?

Where is this place?

How was I brought back to life?

And... who are you?!

Since you know I'm the Second Hokage, does that mean you're from Konoha too?!"

Senju Tobirama had far too many questions, so he simply blurted them all out at once.

"Lord Second Hokage, you have quite a lot of questions. Let me answer them one at a time!

First, I'm Ito Hirofumi, and yes, I'm from Konoha. The Konoha of today is decades after your death!

As for your current state, I think you can sense it quite clearly: you've been revived, and your revival is nearly perfect. You're even in the same peak physical condition you were in before you died!

Through an unexpected encounter, I was reverse-summoned to the Underworld while learning the Summoning Technique.

Then I became bound to the Underworld by something rather mysterious, something like a contract...

I can spend money to summon the dead into the real world using the Summoning Technique!

And I spent one hundred million silver taels to summon you.

So you're basically my summoning beast now...

I know that might be hard to accept, but it's the truth!

As for where we are right now—

This is my Summoning Space, much like the Sealing Space used to seal a Tailed Beast...

Only this place is much better than that kind of space!

The dead I summon can live here, and I can also summon them into the present world, where they can live just like summoning beasts!

That's about it. Uchiha Madara was the first person I summoned, and you're the second!"

After hearing Ito Hirofumi's explanation, the exceptionally intelligent Senju Tobirama began rapidly processing it all.

Still, Tobirama found it hard to believe that anything this incredible could happen. But he had no choice but to believe it—the facts were right in front of him!

Besides, he really had been revived in perfect condition.

In that instant, Senju Tobirama thought of many things. First, the Underworld could apparently reverse-summon people!

Could the Underworld be a place like the Three Holy Lands?!

And this kid named Ito Hirofumi had summoned Uchiha Madara first, then summoned him. What was he planning?!

Just as Ito Hirofumi was explaining everything to Senju Tobirama, the system's voice rang out in his mind!

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully summoned a spirit and obtained Senju Tobirama as a summoning beast!

Randomly extracting one of his abilities!

Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique!

You have automatically mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique!]

Ito Hirofumi was delighted by the system notification. After all, the ability he coveted most from Senju Tobirama was the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Tobirama hadn't exactly performed well when facing Uchiha Madara just now, but let's not forget that his opponent had been Uchiha Madara!

Wasn't it perfectly normal for him to be overpowered?!

If Senju Tobirama had been facing an ordinary ninja, it would have been a one-sided slaughter!

Just think of the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato, who had made his name across the Ninja World with the Flying Thunder God Technique...

Wasn't that guy famous throughout the Ninja World thanks to the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan?!

The Flying Thunder God Technique was also incredibly useful, both in battle and in everyday life!

And Ito Hirofumi didn't even have to learn it; he'd copied it straight from Senju Tobirama.

Ito Hirofumi was still caught up in the joy of acquiring the Flying Thunder God Technique...

Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama had a lot on his mind.

He knew nothing about Ito Hirofumi, or what kind of person he was!

What if the kid was an ambitious schemer or some kind of terrorist?!

At the thought, Senju Tobirama quickly examined his body!

After sensing it over, Senju Tobirama breathed a long sigh of relief...

There was nothing wrong with his body or his chakra. Unlike the Impure World Reincarnation he had invented, this wasn't a technique that let the caster control the person they revived.

In other words, he was completely in control of his own body and was free!

If Ito Hirofumi wanted him to do something, he could refuse.

The Summoning Contracts between them were completely normal, too...

His current state was that of a free summoning beast.

At that realization, Senju Tobirama's eyelid twitched.

He'd actually become a summoning beast, damn it!!!

But as he looked at Uchiha Madara in front of him, Tobirama felt a little better.

After all, even the wicked Uchiha Madara had become a summoning beast. Maybe it wasn't so bad for him to become one too.

Uchiha Madara glanced at Ito Hirofumi...

"Kid! What are you thinking about?!

You've got four chances left.

Hurry up and see if you can summon Senju Hashirama, that idiot!

Damn it!!!

You only had five chances, and that useless guy wasted one of them!!!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Madara shot Senju Tobirama a cold glance.
