   Summary

   Before his death, Tobirama set up a safe-guard for the village. If any suspicious movement were to happen with the Uchiha clan's chakra, he would be pulled back to life. So here he was, ready to put the clan back in it's place once more.

   Come to find, it wasn't the Uchiha who needed their asses handed to them. He finds out soon enough that apparently his seal counts 'All but three Uchiha dying' as a good enough reason to revive him.

   If someone had told him that his scroll was going to bring him back to life so that he could babysit a six-year-old Uchiha child and play tug-a-war over village responsibilities with a half-dead Uchiha sapling, maybe he wouldn't have crafted it after all.

   Unfortunately, it was too late to brood on now.
