Naruto: Tobirama Reborn, Invincible in the Ninja World

The massive wooden hand blocked all incoming attacks with its back, lifting Uchiha Itachi out of the water in one smooth motion and placing him atop the wooden giant's head at remarkable speed.

"Hokage-sama! First Hokage!"

Itachi rubbed his bloodied eyes, nodding respectfully toward the two figures standing on top of the wooden giant.

"Itachi, are you hurt?" Hashirama asked, his voice tinged with urgency as he stepped forward to check Itachi's injuries.

This was one of the last two remaining members of the Uchiha clan. If something happened to him, explaining it to Madara later would be no small task.

"I'm fine," Uchiha Itachi replied, lifting his gaze.

Thanks to Susanoo, most of the attacks had been blocked, leaving him only a bit disheveled.

"Tobirama, are these people resurrected by the Akatsuki's Reanimation Jutsu?"

Hashirama peered down at the enemies relentlessly attacking the wooden giant, recognizing a few familiar faces from the First Five Kage Summit.

There was the bandaged man who had served as the First Tsuchikage's bodyguard and the mustached bodyguard of the First Mizukage, though Hashirama couldn't recall their names. The rest were likely prominent figures from the ninja world over the years—unfortunately, all of them now dead.

"Wood Release?!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the colossal wooden giant towering over the battlefield, exuding a presence that shook the earth itself.

His expression twisted further when he noticed Senju Hashirama standing atop the wooden giant.

"Senju Tobirama actually resurrected the First Hokage to fight us?!"

Orochimaru's thoughts churned. He remembered when he had used the Reanimation Jutsu in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, only to be berated for desecrating the dead.

But now, his teacher's teacher had taken it even further—resurrecting his own brother!

"Orochimaru, is that really Senju Hashirama?"

The Rinnegan in Deva Path Pain's eyes glowed faintly as he locked his gaze on the three figures atop the wooden giant, his voice cold.

One Senju Tobirama was already troublesome enough. Now, with the legendary God of Shinobi joining the fray, Nagato doubted whether they could kill Tobirama this time.

"Don't worry," Orochimaru sneered, quickly regaining his composure. "Reanimation Jutsu may have been invented by the Hokage, but the technique was incomplete. Even I spent years refining it to this point.

"Hashirama's current body is just an empty shell, only capable of about 30% of his original strength."

His words carried the confidence of a scientist proud of his work. No matter how skilled Tobirama was as the creator, Orochimaru was confident in his superiority with this technique.

"That's reassuring. Let's press the attack," Nagato ordered coldly, his tension easing slightly.

"Hell Stab: One-Finger!"

The Third Raikage's finger, charged with crackling blue lightning, pierced into the wooden giant's right leg. Splinters and chunks of wood exploded outward, leaving a massive hole several meters deep. Yet, compared to the giant's towering height, it was barely a scratch.

"This damn thing's defense rivals that of the Eight-Tails!" the Third Raikage growled, frustration evident in his voice.

Even the Eight-Tails, whose horn he once shattered, didn't feel as impenetrable as this wooden construct.

"Hmph, rivals a tailed beast?"

The Gold and Silver Brothers grinned wickedly. Under Orochimaru's control, red, malevolent chakra surged from their bodies.

The duo had once been swallowed by the Nine-Tails but had devoured its flesh from within, gaining its chakra and the ability to partially transform into tailed beasts.

With a deafening roar, the two transformed into massive, feral beasts with twelve crimson tails lashing violently in the air. Though they only reached the wooden giant's knees, their monstrous size still made them formidable.

"Damn it! They can't even use Tailed Beast Bombs…" Orochimaru clicked his tongue in irritation.

Reanimation had significantly weakened the Gold and Silver Brothers, reducing them to mere physical attackers in their tailed-beast forms. At this rate, even damaging the wooden giant would take an eternity.

"That's the Nine-Tails' chakra!"

Hashirama's eyes narrowed as he observed the transformed brothers.

"This power is too dangerous and evil! Tobirama, can you subdue them?" Hashirama asked urgently.

Indeed, the Wood Human Technique had been cast by Senju Tobirama.

Even Hashirama was stunned by his brother's mastery of Wood Release, though he attributed it to Tobirama awakening their clan's latent Kekkei Genkai after death.

Curious as he was about the possibility of such an awakening post-mortem, the current situation demanded his focus.

"Of course."

Tobirama nodded confidently. Although the brothers possessed the Nine-Tails' chakra, they weren't true jinchūriki and could be safely sealed.

"Wood Release: Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss!"

(T/N: The Hokage-Style Sixty-Year-Old Technique — Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands technique utilises the power of the Wood Release to forcibly suppress a tailed beast's chakra.)

Tobirama shouted, a glowing "seat" kanji forming on his palm. The wooden giant moved swiftly, grabbing the Gold and Silver Brothers in its massive hands.

A unique chakra flowed from the wooden giant into the brothers, stripping away their tailed-beast transformations bit by bit.

"Not so fast!"

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World!"

The Second Tsuchikage, using Light-Weight Rock Technique, appeared high above and unleashed a blinding Dust Release beam aimed directly at the three figures atop the wooden giant.

Tobirama had no choice but to halt his sealing technique. The giant hurled the brothers aside and raised its arms to shield the trio.

Even though both he and Hashirama were in reanimated bodies, impervious to death, Uchiha Itachi was still mortal. If struck by Dust Release, his body would be disintegrated into molecules, leaving nothing for even Reanimation Jutsu to restore.

A brilliant white beam shot through the air, disintegrating everything it touched.

"Water Release: Freezing Mist!"

Tobirama instantly manipulated the surrounding water vapor, rapidly cooling it until the Second Tsuchikage was encased in ice, halting his attack.

The frozen statue plummeted to the ground, shattering into pieces. However, his reanimated body began reforming almost immediately.

"Water Release… used like this?"

Orochimaru's eyes widened, unable to hide his astonishment at Tobirama's mastery.
