Chapter 55: Resurrect, My Tobirama!
"I'll tell you, Madara has a bad habit. He can't pee if someone's standing behind him."
"He's also not as good at skipping stones as I am."
"And his smile is terrifying, it makes the village kids cry."
"..."
"Hahahaha."
The First Hokage seemed to have missed talking about Uchiha Madara with someone, and he kept talking more and more.
He poured out stories of his childhood with Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Nan listened with great interest.
The stories shown in the anime were just the tip of the iceberg of their legendary lives, and the stories told by the person himself were even more interesting.
Uchiha Nan also learned some little-known stories about Uchiha Madara.
Like when they went to a restaurant together, and both thought the other was paying, so they didn't bring any money. They were caught by the owner for trying to dine and dash, and were forced to wash dishes all day to pay the bill.
And Uchiha Madara actually had a first love.
This was big news. For gossip about a figure like Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Nan moved closer to Hashirama Senju with a gossipy expression, asking Hashirama to elaborate.
Which girl could make Madara's heart flutter?
Hashirama Senju didn't know the answer to this question either. He just remembered that one day Madara secretly told him he was going to confess his love, and even mocked Hashirama for being a single dog destined to be lonely for life.
The outcome was predictable. The girl told Uchiha Madara that she only saw him as a brother, and that it made her uncomfortable.
"Madara was depressed for a while after the failed confession. I was the one who helped him out of his heartbreak."
"Hahahaha."
Hashirama Senju seemed to recall Uchiha Madara's lovelorn and depressed state in the past, and he began to laugh heartily.
His best friend's failed confession was certainly a sad thing, but if the confession had succeeded, he would have been the sad one, mocked as a single dog. It was better for a friend to suffer than himself.
"I remember when I married Mito, Madara secretly came to see me. He looked resentful, as if he was very unconvinced, but he still gave me a wedding gift. I heard he saved up for a month."
Hashirama Senju continued to reminisce about everything he and Uchiha Madara had shared. Uchiha Nan listened quietly, occasionally interjecting with a few words. Madara often embarrassed himself when he was with Hashirama, and Uchiha Nan was very interested in these embarrassing stories.
Hashirama Senju was also happy to satisfy the curiosity of his juniors, revealing some of Madara's embarrassing moments from his youth.
They talked for an hour or two, and Hashirama Senju was still not finished. He told all the embarrassing stories about Madara that Uchiha Nan could think of, making Uchiha Nan thoroughly entertained.
"Alright, it's about time. I should return to the Pure Land. Thank you, Third Hokage. I had a very enjoyable evening."
"Remember to say hello to Mito for me."
You remember Mito Uzumaki now? I thought you'd forgotten about your wife, Uchiha Nan nodded, but couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"And Tobirama, Tsunade."
"Oh, and be sure to remind Tsunade not to gamble anymore. If she keeps gambling, she'll never get married. Gambling addicts always end up miserable. You must remind her of this."
At this point, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but regret teaching Tsunade how to roll dice. Tsunade seemed to have a natural talent for gambling. She understood all the rules after hearing them once.
But her skills and luck were even more heaven-defying than his own, to the point where she lost every gamble.
Only Mito could suppress her crazy behavior when she lost money.
He didn't know which unlucky guy would fall in love with Tsunade. As Tsunade's grandfather, Hashirama couldn't help but mourn for Tsunade's future husband, hoping he wouldn't go bankrupt because of his wife's gambling.
Uchiha Nan nodded in agreement. He agreed with the saying that gambling addicts always end up miserable. In the future, Tsunade would probably squander all her family's wealth. Only her strength prevented her from being sold to a brothel to pay off her debts.
"I'll leave Konoha to you, Third Hokage!"
Hashirama Senju looked at Uchiha Nan with anticipation. After their brief conversation, Hashirama Senju had a good impression of Uchiha Nan, believing he would be an excellent Hokage.
"Don't worry, First Hokage-sama. Konoha will become even stronger in my hands."
After saying goodbye to Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Nan severed Hashirama Senju's consciousness, but didn't cancel the Impure World Resurrection. He had another idea to test.
Long-term task: Defeat Hashirama Senju head-on.
Uchiha Nan looked at this long-term task. Defeat Hashirama Senju head-on. The Hashirama Senju in his current state was as weak as a Genin.
"First Hokage, attack me with all your strength!"
Uchiha Nan gave Hashirama Senju the order. Hashirama Senju rushed towards Uchiha Nan, but was instantly turned to ashes by Uchiha Nan's Lightning Release, and then resurrected from the ashes.
However, Uchiha Nan didn't hear the system notification that the task was completed. It seemed this shortcut wouldn't work.
He probably had to resurrect Hashirama Senju to a state close to his prime, and then defeat him to complete the system's long-term task.
Uchiha Nan sighed, but wasn't too discouraged. He hadn't had high hopes for this bug-exploiting method, he just wanted to test it.
If it failed, it failed, there was nothing to regret. If it had succeeded, he would have hit the jackpot.
The system really didn't give him any loopholes.
Damn system, inhuman.
Uchiha Nan cursed at the system, then turned and walked towards the small compartment, dragging out the unconscious death row inmate.
Facing Hashirama Senju was just an appetizer, now it was time for the main course.
Uchiha Nan adjusted his mindset, preparing to resurrect Tobirama Senju, who was the real challenge.
He was the kind of person who would fight to the death with Uchiha Nan at the slightest disagreement, so he had to be cautious and not careless.
Uchiha Nan carefully checked the technique inscribed on the ground, ensuring there would be no accidents. He had to firmly maintain control over the resurrected Tobirama Senju.
Uchiha Nan also checked the room's seals. For a secret room containing the Uchiha clan's confidential documents, the Uchiha were always meticulous, using all kinds of sealing techniques, including special seals designed to counter space-time ninjutsu.
Uchiha Nan thought they were specifically aimed at Tobirama Senju, fearing he might empty the clan's coffers if he wasn't careful.
After everything was prepared, Uchiha Nan formed hand seals and performed Impure World Resurrection. The death row inmate, still unconscious, passed away peacefully, without feeling much pain, and turned into a pile of reanimated earth.
"Resurrect, my Tobirama!"
Uchiha Nan shouted, and Tobirama Senju emerged from the pile of reanimated earth.
