Naruto: Tobirama Reborn, Invincible in the Ninja World

Never forget, during his lifetime, Tobirama was hailed as the fastest shinobi in the world.

Though this title was later inherited by Namikaze Minato, in this era, with the Fourth Hokage now deceased, Tobirama's speed remains unparalleled. No one dares to claim otherwise.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

A kunai whizzed past Orochimaru's head, and in a flash, Tobirama lunged at him with lightning speed!

Back in the Warring States period, even before the founding of Konohagakure, this very move had gravely injured Uchiha Izuna, the younger brother of Madara.

Orochimaru reacted swiftly, spitting out the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth.

Clang!

The sharp sound of metal colliding echoed through the air, drawing everyone's attention.

Although Orochimaru managed to block the deadly strike with the Kusanagi Sword, Tobirama's kunai still sliced off one of his arms.

"Hsss…"

The excruciating pain forced Orochimaru to suck in a sharp breath. The sheer power of the Second Hokage, even operating at only a fraction of his strength, was terrifying.

"You managed to block it? Not bad, for a junior," Tobirama remarked coolly.

"The Second Hokage is truly this strong?"

"Even Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, is no match for him?"

"Where is Jiraiya-sama when we need him?"

Outside the barrier, two Anbu members watched in shock.

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Finally breaking free from Hiruzen's interception, Hashirama unleashed his technique. An immense sea of trees surged forth, covering the entire barrier.

For a brief moment, Tobirama was distracted. Orochimaru seized the opportunity to retreat, putting a considerable distance between himself and the Second Hokage.

To defeat Orochimaru, they would first have to deal with his elder brother.

How strong was Senju Hashirama?

During the Warring States period, he and Uchiha Madara single-handedly ended the era of endless strife. Known as the God of Shinobi, he could suppress even the mighty Nine-Tails with a flick of his hand.

In the era of Hashirama and Madara, even someone as powerful as Tobirama was overshadowed.

Now, as a reanimated corpse with only 30% of his original strength, Hashirama was still far beyond what Hiruzen could handle.

"I'm sorry, Sensei. The First Hokage was too strong—I couldn't hold him back," Hiruzen apologized as he regrouped with Tobirama. His armor was shattered, and even his adamantine staff seemed about to slip from his hands.

"It's fine. I'll handle the casters of the Four Violet Flames Formation. Once you're out, rally the Konoha forces immediately," Tobirama instructed decisively.

The Four Violet Flames Formation could only be broken from within by someone with the destructive power of a tailed beast—or by taking out the jutsu's casters. Orochimaru's Sound Four had cleverly created smaller barriers to protect themselves, which was why Hiruzen had failed to escape in the original story.

Before Tobirama could finish speaking, Hashirama's attack was already upon them. Hiruzen immediately retreated behind the Second Hokage.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Biting Explosion!"

This was Tobirama's most powerful Water Style jutsu.

In midair, countless water droplets converged, generating a massive gravitational force that immobilized even Hashirama. Behind him, Orochimaru found it nearly impossible to move as well.

"Ha!"

Tobirama raised both hands, and the water droplets coalesced into a colossal water dragon, over a hundred meters long.

Its sheer ferocity made even Orochimaru contemplate fleeing.

Boom!

The water dragon engulfed both Hashirama and Orochimaru in its devastating onslaught. Even Tobirama wasn't entirely spared from the impact.

"Monkey King: Adamantine Prison Wall!"

Hiruzen quickly sought shelter within the iron cage formed by the transformed Monkey King, Enma.

Hundreds of tons of high-pressure water struck the roof, finally collapsing the structure. Even the reinforced metal roof, which had withstood countless jutsu in the original story, couldn't hold up.

The Sound Four fell into the rubble below.

With the casters interrupted, the Four Violet Flames Formation disintegrated.

"Is Orochimaru dead?"

"Tobirama-sama's jutsu is unbelievably powerful! To unleash such a massive Water Style in a place with no water source—truly worthy of the Second Hokage!"

Even in their awe, the two Anbu members didn't forget their role as commentators.
