Hashirama Senju stood tall and straight, his long black hair falling loosely over his shoulders.
His reincarnated body had an ashen pallor, and fine, intersecting black cracks covered his face like parched earth.
His black eyes had lost the luster of the living, their color dull.
He wore red, layered battle armor, and his mere presence exuded overwhelming pressure.
"Where is this?"
Hashirama Senju looked around in confusion. When he saw his younger brother standing beside him with his arms folded, his eyes lit up, and he spoke in an exaggerated tone.
"Tobirama, you died too!"
"Big brother, could you take this seriously?"
Tobirama Senju was also tall, with short, sharp, silver-white hair standing on end, two red markings on his cheeks, and a vertical red marking on his chin.
He wore a metal face-guard helmet bearing Konoha's emblem, a fluffy, snow-white fur collar around his shoulders and neck, and blue armor over a black combat uniform.
He stared at the two people opposite him, his scarlet eyes sharp.
This was the forbidden technique he had developed, "Impure World Reincarnation."
He had never expected that he would one day be brought back through Impure World Reincarnation himself.
Tobirama Senju's memories stopped at his battle against Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
At the time, he had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to keep the transformed brothers at bay.
Although the two were fast after their Tailed Beast Transformation, they were nowhere near as fast as his Flying Thunder God Technique.
He had planned to stall for a while, then use Flying Thunder God to leave once his students had gotten far enough away.
Who could have expected that, while dodging, he would glimpse a pair of Sharingan hidden behind a tree, and then briefly lose control of his body?
Kinkaku and Ginkaku
