Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

Seeing Danzo, who had a fearless expression, everyone present felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Danzo's attitude made it seem like they were the villains instead.

Clearly, this guy was a complete evil-doer, but he had somehow turned himself into a righteous person who would rather die than compromise.

What was worse, there was a hint of pride in Danzo's unwavering expression.

Are you out of your mind?

You're just a dead man who was brought back through Reanimation Jutsu. What's there to be proud of?

Danzo's lack of cooperation made the Third Hokage completely abandon any thoughts of helping him.

"I was thinking, after all these years as partners, I wanted to offer you a hand, but since you don't appreciate it, I'll let it go."

The Third Hokage shook his head and sighed, clearly disappointed.

"Come on, what good is it now, trying to help me? Don't talk about a hand, even if you pulled me a few times, it wouldn't help."

".Stop talking nonsense. Helping you out is what friends do. Pulling you a few times—who knows what kind of person that makes me."

".Hiruzen, do you really want to hear what you're saying? Even now, you're still cracking dirty jokes with me?"

"I just thought the atmosphere was a bit tense, so I wanted to lighten things up."

The Third Hokage rolled his eyes, and seeing that no one was responding, he took out his beloved little pipe, puffed some smoke, and stood aside, not saying another word.

"Danzo, do you know why Minato and his wife, along with Sakumo, are standing here?"

Danzo glanced disdainfully at Jiraiya, who had spoken, and said, "I don't know what kind of nonsense you're up to, but the people standing in front of me are definitely not the Fourth Hokage and his wife, nor Sakumo."

"Oh? Why are you so sure?"

"Are you an idiot? The Fourth Hokage and his wife, along with Sakumo, have long been dead. Their corpses are nothing but a pile of bones. And now you're telling me they're standing here? What a joke. They don't even have the cracks of Reanimation Jutsu on their faces. Don't tell me you revived them?"

"This is what you said, and your guess is really accurate."

"Hahaha, Jiraiya, Jiraiya, it seems like your brain really is broken. I've been the leader of the Roots for so many years. Do you think I wouldn't know if Konoha had a Resurrection Jutsu? Judging by your and Hiruzen's appearance, it seems like I haven't been dead for too long, right?"

"Yeah, only a few months have passed."

"Just a few months, and you guys have researched and invented a real Resurrection Jutsu? Heh, I may be dead, but I'm not stupid. Even if you want to lie to me, at least come up with a better reason. With this reason, don't say I don't believe it, my dogs wouldn't believe it either."

That said, while Danzo was talking with Jiraiya, he was also observing the expressions of the people around them.

Seeing that the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, and the others had normal expressions without even a hint of awkwardness or irritation, Danzo's voice gradually grew quieter.

After a moment of silence, Danzo finally asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "So, you really have invented a Resurrection Jutsu?"

"Strictly speaking, we didn't invent it. It was Lord Tobirama over there," Orochimaru said, not daring to claim all the credit.

Whether it was the Reanimation Jutsu or the Soul Extraction Technique, both were created by Senju Tobirama.

The key technology behind the clones also came from the inspiration Senju Tobirama got after consulting the video creator from the light screen.

In completing the Resurrection Jutsu, Orochimaru only contributed about thirty percent, while the other seventy percent was entirely Tobirama's achievement.

"Ah, right, I forgot you could contact Lord Tobirama through the light screen," Danzo murmured.

As for the fact that the Third Hokage was Sarutobi Hiruzen and not himself, Danzo had some resentment toward Senju Tobirama in his heart.

He felt that even though he had been a little slower than Sarutobi Hiruzen in expressing his opinion back then, as a teacher, shouldn't he be given another chance?

However, despite the complaints, he still acknowledged and admired Tobirama-sensei's abilities.

"Heh heh, as long as you believe it, that's enough."

Seeing that Danzo believed in this fact, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya continued, "Do you want us to bring you back to life? Not like the Reanimation Jutsu, but like Minato and the others, a true resurrection."

If one could be revived, who would still want to be dead?

Danzo certainly wanted to be revived, but at the same time, he understood that with the things he had done, these people before him would never allow him to truly come back perfectly.

Thinking from his own perspective, even if they wanted to revive him, they would surely add something to the process, preventing him from having his previous power, and most likely cutting his lifespan drastically.

Even so, even if he could only survive for one or two more years, he still wanted to be revived.

Suppressing his excitement, Danzo looked at Jiraiya and asked expressionlessly, "Fine, tell me your conditions."

"Our condition is very simple. We just want to ask how you died, who killed you, and what abilities the other person had."

"If I tell you this, you'll revive me?"

"Of course, I swear it on the honor of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

"...I don't trust you. Get Hiruzen to come."

"Danzo, you damn fool... Orochimaru, don't stop me, I'm going to kill him right now."

"Idiot, it's useless to fight him now. He can't feel anything."

The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya was furious.

He had already sworn on the Hokage's honor, yet this old man still didn't trust him.

Jiraiya: I, the Toad Sage, have dominated the ninja world for years. When have I ever been treated like this?

Orochimaru: When I made Konoha collapse, you were facing the Second Hokage...

Jiraiya: "Alright, alright, you can stop talking now."

"Rare for you to still trust me, old buddy."

"You, although not great looking, your ability to become Hokage was lacking, your combat strength is weak, and you're soft-hearted and shameless, but we've had decades of friendship. I trust that you won't lie to me on this matter."

The Third Hokage stood up with a grim expression, his voice serious and cold. "I swear on my honor as the Third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, if you, Danzo, answer our questions honestly, I will have Orochimaru bring you back to life. How does that sound?"

Danzo nodded, not bothered by the Third Hokage's death-like stare.

To be honest, Danzo was, in a sense, already dead.

"Jiraiya, you can ask your questions now."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, thinking Danzo might raise more objections.

He didn't expect Danzo to be so straightforward now.

"Alright, I'll start asking now. I hope you'll answer honestly and not lie to us."

"Don't worry, I'm counting on you to revive me, so I won't risk that for something small."

"First question, where did you die?"

"Hidden Rain Village."

Hmm, that answer was correct.

When the female ninja, who was suspected to be Konan, carried Danzo's corpse around to scam people, Jiraiya and the others had figured out that Danzo must have died in the Hidden Rain Village.

"Good, you didn't lie on the first question. Now, let's move on to the second question."
