Theory on why Tobirama created Edo Tensei

[Rainbow Dash]

Tobirama is the only Hokage whom hasn't had his lover shown

Hashirama had Mito, Hiruzen had Biwako, Minato had Kushina, and Tsunade had Dan.

Assuming that Tobirama actually did have a lover, he created Edo Tensei because his girlfriend died very young and he wanted to bring her back from the dead, just like The Tale of the Three Brothers from Harry Potter.

Harry Potter> anything

OT- Seems legit

It would explain his attitude. He was butthurt and now he is taking it out on others.

But would he sacrifice another person's life mhm...

Love is a powerful emotion that can blind many.

Judging by the fact that it's been stated twice that he puts the preservation of Konoha above anything else (said in the DB and by himself), I'm leaning towards him making it to strengthen Konoha's power.

Tobirama was attracted to himself.

Madara already said why it was originally created. Top right panel.

With today's chapter, what reason would you doubt it. Tobirama is BA who gets results.

good theory but i think its just to prove to himself that he could do it because hashirama was called the God of shinobi so if tobirama could raise the dead he would be on par with GOD i mean even god can't raise the dead and to have more power if needed but saw the consequences and made it a forbidden jutsu

Looks like he's no Obito after all eh OP. XD

Before said Madara mention originally, I assumed it may have had something to do with resurecting the So6p.
