Naruto: Tobirama Reborn, Invincible in the Ninja World

"Hahahaha! Jashin will never bow! Tobirama, die!"

Having just broken free from control, Hidan immediately turned hostile, lunging at Tobirama's shoulder with his teeth bared.

What kind of joke was this? Did they really think Hidan, the great servant of Jashin, would spend his life eating filth and drinking waste?

Jashin's followers kill, they don't save!

His plan was simple: take Tobirama's blood and offer it to Jashin-sama. Surely, such a tribute would please the great deity beyond measure!

With his mouth stretched wide, his jaws nearly reached his ears, ready to sink his sharp teeth into flesh.

Boom!

But instead of tasting blood, Hidan's head was greeted with Tobirama's fist.

The impact sent Hidan's freshly reattached head flying, rolling across the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Have I been too kind to you?"

Flexing his fist, Tobirama stepped forward, placing his foot on Hidan's head. He applied pressure, the sound of cracking skull bones growing louder.

"No, no! Tobirama-sama! Lord Tobirama! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

Hidan's bloodied mouth begged for mercy.

"This is more like it."

Picking up the slightly deformed head, Tobirama activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

...

Root Underground Laboratory

Ever since Orochimaru's sudden return to the village with the Hokage's seal in hand, Shikaku Nara had handed over this entire area to him.

Under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, Orochimaru wasted no time. His laboratories scattered across the ninja world were already being relocated.

Save for Kimimaro and Kabuto, most of Orochimaru's subordinates were left behind in Otogakure.

Though confused as to why Orochimaru seemed like a completely different person after just one trip, his followers had no choice but to obey.

At the moment, Hidan lay restrained on a surgical table, his limbs bound tightly with thick iron chains. The sutured wounds on his body had already healed.

"Hokage-sama, I must admit, I've wanted to study him for a long time," Orochimaru said, licking his lips in fascination at the specimen Tobirama had delivered.

"That's not the primary purpose. Your task is to teach Hidan this jutsu."

"Of course. As long as it doesn't interfere with the progress, I'll indulge my curiosity."

Tobirama handed Orochimaru a scroll, which the latter opened with visible intrigue.

One's Own Life Reincarnation.

A forbidden technique that uses the user's entire chakra as a medium to transfer life force and resurrect the dead!

An unheard-of technique that left Orochimaru visibly thrilled.

"You want Hidan to use this jutsu?" Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, already guessing Tobirama's intent.

Using an immortal to perform a jutsu that guarantees death was nothing short of genius.

"Exactly. His immortality makes him the perfect candidate for a technique that kills the user."

Tobirama smirked faintly, his sharp intellect on full display.

If the experiment succeeded, he could stage a grand resurrection ceremony...

"What jutsu are you asking me to perform?"

Hidan, groggy from the anesthetic, sat up on the table.

Orochimaru silently handed him the scroll.

Hidan opened it... and couldn't understand a single word.

If he had the brains to grasp forbidden jutsu, he wouldn't be relying solely on taijutsu in fights.

"This is One's Own Life Reincarnation," Tobirama explained, detailing the jutsu's purpose and cost.

"What?! You want me to sacrifice my life to save someone else? No way! Never! I'd rather rot in a sewer!"

Hidan's face darkened immediately. Compared to death, eating filth didn't seem so bad.

"You're always boasting about your immortality, aren't you? Or was that all a lie? Or maybe... you don't actually trust your so-called Jashin-sama?"

Tobirama's mocking words hit a nerve, and Hidan, like a provoked animal, grew agitated.

"The immortality granted by Jashin-sama is real! As His loyal follower, I will never die!"

Challenged on his faith, Hidan's fervor reignited.

"In that case, what are you afraid of? Perform the jutsu for me a thousand times, and I'll grant you freedom. Not only that, I'll even help spread the teachings of Jashin. How about it?"

Tobirama's persuasive tone was laced with temptation.

"Well…" Hidan hesitated, clearly wavering.

"Think about it. When Jashin sees how many followers you've brought to His cause, He's bound to reward you greatly."

Hidan closed his eyes, as if envisioning himself as the supreme leader of countless Jashin devotees, acting as the deity's emissary...

"Deal!"

Seeing this, Tobirama's lips curled into a subtle smile.

As long as Hidan cooperated temporarily, his plan could proceed.

As for fulfilling his promise?

What a joke. Where would he find a thousand corpses for Hidan to revive?

After instructing Orochimaru to properly train Hidan in the jutsu, Tobirama retreated to a secluded spot to test his newfound power.

Reflected in the water's surface were blue eyes with rippling black patterns—the unique Rinnegan belonging to Tobirama Senju.

Feeling the immense power radiating from his pupils, Tobirama's face showed a rare hint of satisfaction.

The Rinnegan granted mastery over the five basic chakra natures in an instant. For someone like Tobirama, already proficient in these, it was a powerful enhancement.

Unlike Nagato, who required training to master the Rinnegan's abilities, Tobirama grasped them effortlessly.

Shinra Tensei, Banshō Ten'in, Chibaku Tensei, the creation of Six Paths puppets, and Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique—he comprehended these techniques in mere moments.

Like Madara's Limbo: Border Jail and Sasuke's Amenotejikara, Tobirama's Rinnegan also possessed a unique dojutsu.

[Heavenly Shinobi Time]

"Not bad."

Examining the abilities of his Rinnegan, Tobirama's smile deepened.

If he were to face Madara without the Rinnegan now, he could likely prevent even the activation of Susanoo.

Once he gathered all nine Tailed Beasts…

Tobirama would become the second individual, after the Sage of Six Paths, to wield both the Sage's body and eyes!
