My last post about this au didn't get much attention but i still want to keep making concept art for it
I have this idea of a soulslike game set in sengoku period starring Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama as major bosses, Touka and some minor npc as mini bosses, Mito as a companion throughout the whole journey who provides leveling up and stuff (basically a firekeeper) who is also a host for 9 tails and can be a boss too if the player character (Resurrected Izuna) decides to pursue the path of ultimate power
Tobirama is one of the major bosses, who is partially responsible for the sorry state of the world. His relentless pursuit of immortality led him to betray everyone and anyone in his way, including his own brother. He actually achieved the desired immortality by shedding his humanity and becoming a dragon - the only perfect and ideal being in this world.
Unfortunately for Tobirama, "He" does not remember why did he want it anymore - there is no Tobirama left in a dragon. Or is it so? Yet immortal flesh is still able of being hurt. Madara chased Tobirama deep in the caves beneath fire land and so he still lays there, mutilated yet unable to die.
His disciple Kagami was able to bring Izuna back only because of Tobirama's endless pursuits of immortality. Yet the spell isn't perfect and Izuna is an undead, trapped in an endless cycle (of dying to every boss gazillion times and then going back again), unable to truly die yet able to give true death to the one he kills. And so it's up to him to find Tobirama and end his life - either for revenge or for mercy.
