Naruto: Tobirama Reborn, Invincible in the Ninja World

"It's been a while, hasn't it, Second-sama... and Itachi-kun."

Across the expanse of several hundred meters, Orochimaru's raspy voice carried clearly to Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Itachi.

"You, the brat who enjoys playing with my forbidden techniques—have you forgotten how miserably you fled the last time we met?"

Tobirama's tone was laced with mockery, offering Orochimaru nothing but disdain.

Yet, Orochimaru didn't take offense. Instead, he chuckled softly and began speaking as if in a private conversation.

"To be honest, I've no true desire to be enemies with you or Konoha…"

"After all, since your resurrection, the decaying Konoha seems to have been revitalized. I can't help but wonder—what might the village become under your leadership?"

Hearing this, Tendo Pain's expression darkened, his displeasure evident.

Noticing this, Orochimaru shifted his tone and demeanor, his gaze growing sharp.

"However, since the Akatsuki has obtained Itachi-kun's eyes in exchange for my assistance, it's a fair trade, wouldn't you say? My apologies, Hokage-sama."

Tobirama smiled faintly, replying in a calm but firm voice, "If you're so confident you can take me down, why don't you give it a try?"

"Rinnegan brat!" Tobirama's gaze shifted to Pain. "Though you're nothing more than a pitiful pawn being used, since you've chosen to oppose me, don't expect mercy!"

Before Nagato could comprehend Tobirama's words, a massive water dragon surged forward, targeting both Tendo and Orochimaru in its sweeping attack range.

"Blocking Technique Absorption Seal!"

Nagato's reflexes were impeccable. Pre-positioned Preta Path leapt into action, interposing itself between the water dragon and its targets.

The Preta Path's arms extended wide, absorbing the chakra from the massive Water Release technique.

"What astonishing chakra!" Nagato, hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.

The sheer volume of chakra packed into the Hokage's casual Water Release was beyond belief.

At the same time, Itachi acted swiftly. Understanding Tobirama's intent, he activated his Sharingan without hesitation—Susanoo flared to life!

The colossal red warrior, standing dozens of meters tall, materialized around Itachi. The ground beneath the Hashirama statue cracked under its sheer weight. Without delay, the Yata Mirror materialized in its hands, and the Yasaka Magatama projectiles coalesced, hurtling fiercely toward Orochimaru!

The magatama moved with such speed that a sharp sonic boom echoed across the battlefield.

"Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Shield!"

Orochimaru's expression grew tense as his hands weaved seals at lightning speed. A massive pink crystal barrier enveloped him just in time.

Boom!

The magatama smashed into the crystalline wall, the impact shaking the ground. The head of Madara's statue bore a gaping wound from the collateral shock.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The crystal shield failed to fully block the magatama's relentless force. Seeing it continue toward Orochimaru, Pain intervened. A wave of repulsive energy burst forth from him, violently deflecting the magatama into the lake below.

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted as the magatama struck the water, sending waves surging tens of meters into the air.

With the initial skirmish ending in a brief pause, Orochimaru's snake-like smile returned.

"Itachi-kun's new eyes... seem to suit him quite well."

Orochimaru's voice held a tinge of jealousy as he glanced at the towering Susanoo. Despite transplanting Itachi's eyes, Orochimaru had failed to unlock Susanoo's divine power, gaining only Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. The thought of his "trade" being a poor bargain gnawed at him.

Itachi dispelled Susanoo, the strain of maintaining it threatening to further damage the already unstable Hashirama statue. He narrowed his gaze, locking eyes with Orochimaru.

A shiver ran through Orochimaru's spine. Realizing that Itachi now wielded Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, Orochimaru quickly averted his gaze and scanned his chakra flow for any signs of genjutsu, only relaxing when he found none.

"Hokage, do you truly intend to oppose the Akatsuki?" Tendo Pain stepped forward, his gaze locking onto Tobirama. "Surrender the Jinchūriki, and together, we can forge an era of lasting peace for the shinobi world!"

Tobirama crossed his arms, letting out a mocking laugh.

"Words like that… why not have your real body come here and say them?"

"And besides, everything I do is for the sake of true peace in the shinobi world."

His words left Pain visibly shaken.

"How does he know?!" Nagato, hidden miles away, felt a cold sweat break out on his brow. Tobirama's knowledge of the Six Paths of Pain being puppets was unsettling.

"We can't let him continue—this man is too dangerous." Deciding he could no longer negotiate, Nagato signaled Orochimaru.

Understanding the gesture, Orochimaru grinned and quickly formed seals.

Tiger–Snake–Dog–Dragon!

"Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!"

A violent tremor shook the ground as several dark coffins rose from the earth in front of Orochimaru.

Tobirama narrowed his eyes, watching the coffin lids drop one by one to reveal familiar figures.

Mū, Ōnoki, Gengetsu Hōzuki, Yagura Karatachi, the Second Raikage, the Third Raikage, the Third Kazekage, Rasa, Hanzo, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Pakura.

The sheer number of reincarnated shinobi nearly obscured Orochimaru and Tendo Pain from view.

"Hokage-sama, this is…" Itachi's usually calm demeanor faltered at the sight of the legendary figures. His Mangekyō spun furiously, reflecting his growing tension.

Each of these resurrected individuals was a powerhouse—former Kage and renowned warriors who had left their mark on history. Facing them all at once would be a monumental challenge.

"Don't worry," Tobirama said calmly, holding up two fingers. His expression remained as steady as ever.

This scenario, after all, was something he had anticipated.

Seeing the Hokage's unshakable confidence, Itachi felt reassured, focusing his attention on Orochimaru's every move.

The resurrected shinobi stood in eerie silence, their cracked and lifeless bodies lined up like soldiers awaiting orders. As Orochimaru flexed his fingers, a glimmer of consciousness seemed to flicker in their eyes.
