"At last, the battle is over!"
The scraps of paper floating in midair gradually repaired his Reanimated Body. Tobirama Senju braced himself with both hands and sat up.
His upper body had finished repairing itself, but his lower body still needed a little longer. His legs, annihilated by the explosion, were still regenerating.
His gaze shifted, and he looked into the distance.

There was no helping it. Although both had been engulfed in the explosions of the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags,

Had part of a limb not survived by chance, it was uncertain whether he could even recover.
It was true that a Reanimated Body created by the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu would recover within a certain period, no matter how severe its injuries.
But that did not mean there was no way to destroy a Reanimated Body completely.
