If its true that hes the person responsible for creating such a jutsu than he mustve been the most sinister hokage of all time. Just look at the price for using this technique. Someones life. Aaaand how long do you think it took him to create it? How many failed experiments? How many dead bodies?

The main reason is why would he create it. Is it because he saw his brothers death(hashirama)? Is it because he wanted to revive hhis dead lover? Whatever the reason its still despiicable. This jutsu befits Orochimaru but not Tobirama. How can a Hokage create such a hutssu?

wasn't it originally used as inflitration technique of other lands? So technically he was using enemies do to the technique (people of said villages).

An idea just popped up in my mind. What if Tobirama, somehow, found ou about what Uchihas were playing and knowing how they're a strong clan, however, Senjus were disappearing, he started researching in order to bring back Hashirama so the clans would've been equal in power in case of the attack?

it might have taken a long time to create because he only got the concepts down before experimenting on enemies in battle. after long enough of trying to get it to work in the midst of battle he was able to turn stuff like 2 or 3v1 scenarios to his advantage in battle.

Why? What other Senjus were out there? None mentioned besides him. The Uchihas is known as the clan on equal foot power with Senjus. While the others were a clan, he was almost the only one.
Power scales were inversed. He felt threatened that maybe Konoha will crumble?
Why is it so laughable idea? Look where power-scales took... Itachi had to kill an entire clan or otherwise Konoha would've been in the biggest problems.
So, sorry, I don't find it facepalming just because it doesn't fit your ideal.

He was young and he was exploring the limits of his ninjutsu. After seeing what unnatural it was to the course of life. So he deemed it Kinjutsu

I agree completely with Chatte, this sounds like an enticing idea. It is true that the remaining Senju were unknown or possibly non-existent, therefore he created the jutsu to revive his dead clansmen in the case of an upheaval. Also since the Uchiha were pitted against the Senju because of the Hokage scandal with Hashi and Madara; maybe Tobirama figured that one day the Uchiha would betray the Leaf, and created it as an alternative solution in the case of a coup d'etat.

Well its littered with commas and the question mark at the end makes you doubt your own statement.

Commas have their role there as well as the question mark. It's an idea which I am not sure of and of course it's doubtful. Therefore the question mark.

Exactly! Sounds pretty viable idea. At least to me... I am sure it has to do something with power-scales, otherwise, there's no actual benefit from this jutsu.

I know this is a lil far fetched but what if he created it to seek out help from his elders just how Sasuke is doing right now.
