"What?!" His voice cracked.
Izuna's breathing instantly quickened. Looking at Tobirama, who stood before him dressed like a respectable person, he reached out to grab him by the neck, but Tobirama dodged.
"Wait, Izuna. I know you're anxious, but hold your horses."
Watching Izuna bristle like a cat whose paw had been stepped on, Tobirama spoke up to stop him.
"Madara Uchiha... isn't that Master's older brother?"
Curiosity flashed in Sasuke's eyes. He knew that during the Nine-Tails' Attack, someone pretending to be Madara Uchiha had controlled the Nine-Tails.
But that had only been an impostor, after all. Madara's close friend Hashirama had confirmed it.
"Impure World Reincarnation-isn't that the Forbidden Technique you developed to summon people from the Pure Land?"
Izuna looked at Tobirama and asked, doing his best to suppress his agitation.
"Yes. It's a long story."
Tobirama flickered away and returned with two bottles of Lemon Water in his hands.
He set the Lemon Water on the ground and flickered away again. A moment later, he had brought over a table.
Four chairs followed.
"Let's sit down first."
Tobirama handed Izuna the Lemon Water, motioning for him to drink it.
The Mangekyō appeared in Izuna's eyes. He looked at the Lemon Water before him and, after a moment's thought, accepted it.
"Tobirama, you'd better hurry up and tell me everything in detail."
Izuna sat down and opened the Lemon Water, but did not drink. Looking at Tobirama before him, he spoke in a low voice.
"Don't worry. It's just a rather long story."
"Then make it short."
"Your brother devised a plan to destroy the Shinobi World and left an Uchiha to carry it out after his death. Recently, that Uchiha messed up, and someone stole my Forbidden Technique and summoned Madara."
Tobirama finished explaining in less
