Edo Tensei was Tobirama's main jutsu?

People like Chiyo(foreign ninjas) had so much knowledge about it that she even knew the extent of the technique(knowing that Tobirama couldn't bind so many souls with his technique), noticing that it has been improved since then:

Muu also knew the technique particularly, directly identifying it to Tobirama and actually even trying to sense his chakra directly:

Madara said the technique was known as a complete atrocity against the entire flow of life and death in the universe:

Later he even said the real goal of the technique is to wipe the map clean along with the caster of jutsus:

We've also even seen later that Madara knew the technique that much that he even knew the seals to break free from the control of a summoner:

We know that there was a era of war between Senju and Uchihas, and after that they joined forces to create a village and live together, which means from this point, Senju and Uchihas didn't fight against each other anymore. That means it's only when Senju and Uchiha were fighting against each other that Madara could have identified and analysed the technique to that extent

It also means that Tobirama used to fight alongside with Edos during their battles against Uchihas

So it seems that during his battles, Tobirama had the habit to use Edo tensei, reason why he was well-known for it. Can we consider that it was his main jutsu then?

Questions:

1- If Tobirama used to use Edo tensei often, who do you think did he bring back?

The real question is when did he ever use that jutu and who did he bring back

Pretty sure his main tech would be sometime of water jutsu.

Well it was the first jutsu EVER to bring the dead back to life. It makes sense that he was popular for creating it. As for chiyo's knowledge on it, she probably conferred with Tobirama at some point, as she was trying to create her own resurrection jutsu and tobirama's research could potentially be of use to her.

Maybe but I noticed back in the Hiruzen Orochimaru fight Tobirama had no clue what jutsu it was even though he created it. This tells me Kishi didn't orginally intend it to be Tobirama's technique.

Well it kind of makes sense... a lot of people have no idea where they are or what happened when they are brought back. The second mizukage didn't even know he had died!

Maybe but when? It's not as if Chiyo was as old as Tobirama. She was around Hiruzen's age. I doubt she already intended to create a resurrection jutsu at that point. If i remember correctly i think she said she wanted to create it after her son's death which happened during the second ninja war i think

I misspoke when i said conferred with him. But it was more likely that she studied his edo tensei extensively after his death when she started on the revival project.

Nah I disagree about him using it frequently, I'm positive somewhere in the manga it says as soon as he'd created it he then labelled it kinjutsu (forbidden jutsu). I think he thought it would be a good idea but when it came to actually sacrificing someone to bring a dead soldier back he couldn't or wasn't allowed to either so it was forbidden.

I seen a light different translation but even in yours Tobirama said "Edo tensei huh?" after hearing the tech was called edo tensei giving the impression he did not know what it was. Now if you look when the 4 hokage were brought back Tobirama mentions it as his own jutsu and how he will not be bound by it his own tech, something he did not say in part 1.

Wrong!

Tobirama was the first one, in the whole Chapter, to use the technique's name. So he didn't hear it from anyone.

You might say it was in the previous Chapter, but that's impossible, cuz on this Chapter he just gets out of his coffin.

Naruto - Chapter 118: Confinement -

Plus, I'm not totally sure, but in the First Databook, that was released during Part One, it was said that the technique was created by Tobirama.

So wait, if Madara said the jutsu was used to erase the entire battlefield of all living shinobi, caster included. . Does that mean that Tobirama ultimately killed himself with the jutsu? Like, he summoned a powerful shinobi before and he/she used a massive technique that caught him in it too?

And he might have brought back Sasuke Sarutobi. . . He was said to be a powerful ninja, right? . . If not. . Maybe his dad? Or some other mid-powered shinobi.

He probably used Suiton the most since FTG and Edo Tensei require prep. Most of them do anyways.

We haven't seen Tobirama use Edo tensei before.
Perhaps suiton jutsus and Ftg are Tobirama's main jutsus.

Lol why are you getting so defensive? When I watched I got the impression Tobirama didn't create it by his reaction and Kish decided to make him the creator in part 2.
