Ending (Part 3)

The young men were arguing in a slightly childish tone about whether the dead could be resurrected.

There is no way a forbidden technique that can bring the dead back to life can exist! Orochimaru must be lying to them, because there is clearly nothing in the coffin.

The boy with golden hair grumbled, a little unhappy because he was scolded by the boy next to him. The girl with long pink hair looked worried and tried to smooth things over.

"Naruto... we shouldn't be here, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura called out tentatively, "Sasuke?"

If Kakashi finds out, they will definitely be scolded. Naruto, who realized it late, felt a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm: "It's okay, we just need to leave here."

Another person who hadn't answered for a long time, Uchiha Sasuke, was looking at the coffin in the corner with a serious expression. Because the family emblem on the coffin was clearly the round fan pattern of the Uchiha clan.

The three looked at the empty coffins, looked at each other and decided to leave. But not long after they walked out of the laboratory, they were grabbed by the back of the collar by an outside force.

"Found it." A voice said briskly, followed by a short sigh, "You guys, at least be honest."

Uchiha Shisui showed a helpless expression and put down Sasuke who turned his face away: "Orochimaru's research is not normal. He seems to have obtained a research note from somewhere. His whereabouts are uncertain and seems suspicious."

"That's right, so we can't take any risks, Sasuke." another voice echoed.

Uchiha Itachi and Shisui were dressed as ANBU and only took off their fox masks in front of familiar people.

Mingren rubbed his cheeks and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, we were just passing by..."

Shisui raised his eyebrows and said "Oh" meaningfully: "We will pass this matter on to the Fourth Hokage. Please remember what you said now, Naruto."

Naruto's expression suddenly turned ugly. He was still trying to say something euphemistic to make Shisui change his mind. But while they were talking, a huge explosion was heard from the direction of the laboratory.

The expressions of the two older men suddenly became serious. Itachi hurriedly asked what was in the laboratory. After learning that there was only an empty coffin, the two looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

"Hey, the three of you go back to Konoha right now—"

Although he had some objections, after hearing his brother's stern words, Uchiha Sasuke let out a "tsk" and rushed towards Konoha first.

This laboratory is not located in Konoha and is in a remote place. They would not be able to find it if it were not for the hearsay.

Konoha has always been peaceful, but recently it seems like something unexpected has happened. Not only does the Yondaime go out early and come back late, but even Sasuke's father, the clan leader, is rarely at home.

So the boy, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, thought he could help, and so he set out on the journey of searching.

On the other side, on the treetop halfway up the mountain, a white-haired figure brushed off the dust on his body and then leaped up lightly.

He followed the three people to Konoha, and after getting close, he quietly hid his tracks.

When Uchiha Tobi woke up, he realized clearly that he was no longer alive.

Come to think of it, he was already exhausted at that time and it would be difficult for him to survive without external help.

But looking at this obviously stiff body, he frowned again. As the inventor of the Earth Reincarnation Technique, Mei knew very well that he was reincarnated by the Earth Reincarnation Technique.

But he had been to another world and knew the dangers of reincarnation, so he never passed this technique on.

But before I could think too much, the sound of argument came from far away -

Konoha still looks the same, but it seems to have expanded a lot compared to what I remember.

Relying on the Flying Thunder God Seal left on the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Tobi stood at a high place with a wide view.

The Hokage Rock, which originally had only one head sculpture, now has four.

Looking at the familiar face of the second generation, Tobi's expression softened slightly.

Knowing that his time was up, Tobi left many "foreshadowings" in the dark. Even if Madara himself didn't want to, he would be promoted to the second generation Hokage.

Uchiha needs a Hokage to stabilize the situation.

The wind blowing in the direction blew up the long white hair on the temples, and after a wave, a second person appeared from a high place.

Namikaze Minato looked alert: "May I ask who you are?"

He did not sense any hostility from the young man, so after their eyes met, he put away his weapon: "Are you... a senior from Uchiha?"

The wide-sleeved robe had the Uchiha clan emblem on it, and with his conspicuous long white hair and red eyes, it was difficult to tell his identity.

The blond young man then showed a kind expression: "You are, Uchiha Tobiki-senpai, right? I have heard of you for a long time, but I never thought I would have the chance to meet you in person."

Namikaze Minato felt close to him, not only because of the relationship between this senior and several Hokage, but also because of the Flying Thunder God Technique he left behind, which benefited him greatly.

Tobi nodded and called out the name of the person in front of him: "Namikaze Minato."

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but it's difficult for us to find out where the forbidden technique, the Earth Reincarnation Technique, came from and how to break it." Namikaze Minato showed an apologetic expression.

Looking at that expression, Uchiha Tobi had a guess. He asked tentatively, "Before me, were there other people who were resurrected by the Earth Reincarnation?"

After a moment's silence, Minato Namikaze nodded.

At this time, not far from Konoha, after a series of explosions, a figure walked out from the smoke: "Hey, why are you hiding? I don't intend to kill you, I just have something to ask."

The smiling man twirled the kunai in his hand. Although he looked harmless, he was not as he appeared to be.

Uchiha Obito wiped the wound on his forehead, not understanding why this somewhat familiar man was so hostile towards him.

Uchiha Izuna didn't say it explicitly, but after knowing that she was resurrected by the Uchiha Reincarnation, although she was unhappy about being disturbed, she was more looking forward to seeing what Konoha was like now.

But unexpectedly, the first person he met was Uchiha Obito. Although he knew that this person had done nothing wrong and was a descendant of Uchiha, it was hard to be satisfied when he thought of this guy, in another world, using the name of Madara to commit crimes.

The signal sent out quickly brought reinforcements, and a voice mocked leisurely: "Obito, can't you fight or hide?"

Kakashi took off his fox mask and stood behind him, looking like he was joking. So Obito said, "Tsk, this is totally different!"

This was not because of the invasion of foreign enemies, but because he recognized the person in front of him and he could be regarded as the ancestor of their Uchiha.

Kakashi also noticed the appearance of the person who came, and then raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "This person... looks like Sasuke."

Although there were black cracks on his face and his pupils were deep, as a teacher he could tell at a glance that this man looked very similar to his student.

"You're really putting the cart before the horse when you say that." Izuna put away the kunai that was buried with him, "As a senior, you should say that he looks like me."

Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, who arrived late, happened to hear this. As an insider, his expression was very complicated: "You are Uchiha Izuna-sama, right? Please forgive the youngsters for being rude."

Uchiha Izuna, the younger brother of the Second Hokage Uchiha Madara, was one of the few recorded Mangekyō holders. Because he died earlier than the Second Hokage, there are few records left.

But that is for outsiders. As members of the Uchiha clan, they are very familiar with the deeds of the Uchiha ancestors when Konoha was founded.

And from Fugaku's expression, Izuna guessed that there were probably other people who were resurrected by the Yodo Tensei.

In order not to cause panic, he was secretly brought back to Konoha.

The three of them, like headless flies, just happened to bump into the people who returned to Konoha. Naruto was the first to say, breathlessly, "No, no! There was an accident!"

The loud voice called the patrol officers and even other ninjas who had no missions to perform gathered around.

"Don't be anxious, take your time." Kakashi nodded, "Obito, you can take the guests back first."

Obito indicated that he was going to use the power of the Mangekyō to take Izuna away first. But before Naruto could explain clearly, a strong chakra burst out not far from Konoha.

So without paying attention to other things, the well-trained ninjas present rushed over. Izuna glanced to the side and ran away before anyone else could speak.

He felt the familiar chakra.

The huge body swelled up quickly, the Nine-Tailed Fox roared with its fangs bared, and shouted angrily: "Uchiha Madara!"

Another figure in red armor stood high up. He was unarmed, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, and he looked nonchalant: "Nine Tails, it's been so long since we last met. Not only are you impatient, but you haven't gained any strength either."

This arrogant tone really made people angry. So Kyuubi stretched out his nine tails and decided to teach this guy a lesson.

The Nine-Tails was sealed in a mountain. Rather than saying it was sealed, it would be more accurate to say that this mountain very close to Konoha was his residence.

Those seals were more to prevent others from disturbing it. For decades, under Konoha's "worship", the Nine-Tails had been living in peace.

But now that the seal has been broken, the Nine-Tailed Fox is furious!

The first people to arrive watched and breathed a sigh of relief when they found no one was injured. But when they saw the figure fighting the Nine-Tails, they became suspicious.

"That's... Nidaime-sama?"

"It seems to be him. No matter how the Nidaime survives, isn't the key that he once again protected Konoha?"

Everyone was discussing, although they were curious about why the Nidaime came back to life, they were mostly relieved. After all, if it weren't for the Nidaime, they wouldn't be able to deal with the Nine-Tails.

But they obviously forgot that without the appearance of this Nidaime, the Nine-Tails, which had lived peacefully for so long, would not have gone berserk.

All this is thanks to the fact that the Second Hokage often practiced against the Nine-Tails during his tenure.

"Enough, the noise is too loud!" a deep voice shouted, and several branches sprouted.

That was Wood Release. After controlling the Nine-Tails' movements, small flowers bloomed at the end of the tree.

"It's the Shodaime-sama!" someone shouted excitedly.

Senju Hashirama stood on top of the wooden dragon. He was quite troubled and reached out to stop him: "I know you are surprised, but we can't cause too much impact."

After all, they are already dead people, and their appearance will cause turmoil in the world.

Uchiha Madara fell from a high place. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? The commotion you created was not small at all."

The entangled wooden dragon was no less low-key than he. The voices of those standing far away became louder and louder.

Elsewhere, among the group of people who had just arrived, someone looked surprised and asked in shock, "Is this... an illusion?"

How can the dead be resurrected? One or two would be fine, but so many appeared at once.

Kyuubi, who was beaten for no apparent reason, was swearing and was furious when he saw the two people talking like good friends.

A voice shouted from afar: "Brother Ban!"

Izuna took off her hood and headed for the wooden dragon. Looking at that face, Naruto thought for a moment and said the same thing: "Wow! That person looks like Sasuke!"

Seeing Izuna after a long absence, Madara's expression softened instantly. Izuna died two years before him, and this was something he had always cared about.

Although he knew that Izuna's death was due to an old injury from his early years that could not be healed, as an older brother, he still felt guilty for not being able to heal his younger brother.

"It's so lively." Namikaze Minato exclaimed, "Fugaku, could you please give me a place to stay?"

Uchiha Fugaku looked puzzled. He turned around and left, but was caught off guard by a pair of red eyes.

There were black cracks on the pale skin, and two red lines on the cheeks. The long white hair was slightly dry and was now hanging loosely.

Uchiha Tobi nodded to Fugaku. He looked around and saw many familiar faces: "We still need to study the method to cancel the Earth Reincarnation."

The implication is that a place to stay is needed during this period.

Senju Hashirama smiled faintly as he watched the Uchiha brothers reminisce. Then he looked down as if he had noticed something.

From a distance, he saw the eye-catching white hair. It was not the fault of Uchiha's Sharingan that his insight was not strong. The reason why Madara and Izuna, who were immersed in reminiscence, did not notice it was entirely because Tobi was brought here by Minato.

"Wow! Are you dead too?" Naruto said with sparkling eyes.

Afterwards, he was hit by Sakura and apologized while pressing his head.

This was not wrong. Tobi was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and rubbed Mingren's head: "We meet again."

Naruto stuck out his tongue, and under Minato's helpless gaze, he took advantage of the situation and moved closer: "We meet again? When have we met before, Uchiha uncle?"

"In terms of seniority..." Fugaku's expression was complicated, "You can't call me uncle."

"But he looks very young."

Although the white-haired young man has cracks on his face, he does look young.

The records about Uchiha Tobiki mainly mention his relationship with several Hokage.

He is an Uchiha with white hair and red eyes. He has an incredible relationship with the First Hokage. He is also the younger brother of the Second Hokage and the teacher of the Third Hokage. Therefore, there is a lot of information about him in the Ninja School.

Although he is not the Hokage, he is as famous as the Hokage. However, Naruto, who is the last one in the list, can no longer expect to call out the name of the person in front of him.

"Door."

Tobi was rubbing Naruto's head with a nostalgic look on his face. When he heard the shout, he turned around to look.

Senju Hashirama exhaled and smiled: "It's really not easy, we meet again."

Before Tobi could answer, an angry voice came: "Senju Hashirama!"

Izuna spoke hastily, grabbing the attention of the second brother. He stood beside Tobi as usual.

But looking at it this way, the contrast becomes even more obvious.

It's not just the height difference. Even though Izuna covered one eye, you can vaguely see fine wrinkles on her face.

He lived longer than his second brother, and when he thought of this, he felt heavy in his heart. Uchiha Madara had the same feeling. He stood in front of Tobiraki and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Fei's death was too sudden. Although I had expected something uneasy, his departure was too silent.

That day, both Uchiha Madara and Izuna felt as if the sky had fallen. However, no miracle happened, and they had to live on with the door.

No one interrupted the brothers' reminiscence, and the tactless Naruto was taken away, although he felt he still had a lot to say.

In the Uchiha mansion, the three brothers sat together after a long absence. However, as the bodies of the Reincarnated Earth, they did not need to eat, so no one touched the snacks.

Tobi listened to a lot from Madara and Izuna, and talked about the changes and differences in Konoha after his death.

There is no doubt that Konoha is now prosperous and powerful. This world is not without war, but compared with the other world they know, it is insignificant.

"That's great." Tobi smiled and said softly, "It's really lucky to be brothers with Madara and Izuna."

Their efforts have paid off. Even without them, there will always be peace in the afterlife.
