At the Hokage Building.
Tobirama Senju, who had opened his eyes inside the coffin, stared at everything before him in astonishment.
"Breathing, a heartbeat, and this familiar yet unfamiliar scene."
"Have I been revived? What exactly is going on?"
"Could someone have used the forbidden resurrection jutsu I researched back then?"
Tobirama Senju was filled with confusion.
Back then, in order to revive Hashirama Senju and intimidate the other shinobi villages, he had painstakingly developed the prototype of a forbidden jutsu.
However, before he could fully perfect that resurrection forbidden jutsu, he had died on the battlefield.
Tobirama Senju examined his body. He had indeed been fully revived, and he could sense that his strength was at its peak.
"A perfect resurrection. Who perfected the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu? What a genius!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Three figures instantly appeared before Tobirama Senju, clutching short swords as they watched him vigilantly.
"Who is that?"
"An intruder in the village?"
"No, that face..."
"That's the Second Naruto."
"How is that possible?"
"The Second Naruto should have died long ago."
"There's no mistake. That is the Second Naruto's face."
"Are you the Second Naruto?" the Anbu squad captain asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"The village's Anbu?" Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and looked at the three stunned Anbu shinobi. "Though I do not know what happened, I am indeed Tobirama Senju, Konoha's Second Naruto."
"Wasn't it someone from your village who used a resurrection forbidden jutsu and brought me back to life?" Tobirama Senju asked with a frown.
"A resurrection forbidden jutsu?" The Anbu captain shook his head. "We haven't received any reports of anyone in the village using one."
"Are you really the Second Naruto? You're not someone from another village using a Transformation Jutsu to deceive and fool Konoha, are you?"
