"The Reshape Organization really was acting strangely back then. They should have had no reason to revive Madara Uchiha."
Minato nodded, sharing Tobirama's opinion.

After all, Madara Uchiha's name held special meaning for both Hashirama and Tobirama. They had also quickly remembered that Orochimaru was a member of
