"That's right, I'll wait until your personality is corrected by Izanami, and you kneel before me, weeping and begging for our forgiveness. At that time, I will reject you."
Konan is starting to feel the pressure.
She described possible futures to the Masked Man.
The Masked Man immediately realized what Konan meant after she said that.
So that's how it is.
That's true.
If he really was possessed by Izanami and then his personality was corrected and he was freed from Izanami, wouldn't that be atonement for the "mistakes" he had committed?
The Masked Man turned pale.
"Hmph, you and Itachi joined forces to wipe out my beloved Uchiha Clan. To atone for your sins, I will have Orochimaru transplant organs into you, so that you and Itachi can personally revive the Uchiha Clan."
At this point, Tobirama Senju also began to help increase the intensity.
"..."
Can anyone tell him why organ transplants are needed to revitalize the Uchiha Clan?
Could this be the revitalization method he's thinking of?
Sweat began to bead on the Masked Man's forehead.
" Tobirama, don't put pressure on this Uchiha Clan kid. But what you said isn't wrong either, since he can't do it the original way."
Hashirama Senju also arrived.
He was so bored that he decided to ride a Wood Dragon Wood Dragon fly over to Tobirama Senju's side.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Tobirama Senju was curious.
" Tobirama, I can sense a large number of my cells in his body. It doesn't seem like they were transplanted intentionally; it's more like he suffered a severe injury..."
"Like the Danzo that Danzo had transplanted after he lost his arm?"
"Um."
Hashirama Senju gave his affirmation.
Although that arm was actually the arm of Orochimaru's experimental subject, Shin, to put it bluntly, it was just that at that time, in the original work, Orochimaru didn't have White Zetsu to use as an experimental subject, so he found a White Zetsu that could adapt to various transplanted cells as a substitute.
"I have an extremely keen and precise perception of my own cells. When I encountered this child before, I sensed it precisely..."
Under the Masked Man's uneasy gaze, Hashirama Senju looked at him, his gaze gradually shifting downwards.
"Half of his body, including a large section there, is made up of my cells. That area is perfectly smooth, just like White Zetsu..."
"..."
Everyone present fell silent after hearing this.
Everyone once suspected that the Masked Man's refusal to revive Lin might be due to a bunch of nonsensical and absurd theories he spouted, or perhaps because when he was killed by the stone, not only was half of his body crushed, but his vital parts were also crushed.
After all, even in the best-case scenario where there's only half a body, cut along the dotted line, the middle part would still be tragically split in two.
Half of them are bad.
If half of this thing is broken, then it's completely broken.
Today, it has finally been confirmed.
It really is gone.
No wonder they refused to use resurrection. In this situation, reviving Rin would just be a waste of Kakashi's time.
Even if Kakashi loves his grandmother, Grandma Chiyo, unless Rin chooses to live alone for the rest of her life, wouldn't she still end up benefiting someone else?
Your casual words cleared up my doubts.
The Masked Man's face beneath the mask had now turned completely black.
His Past wounds and physical defects were ruthlessly exposed.
This was even done in front of several female ninjas.
I feel so hopeless.
This Shinobi World truly is hell!
If he could, the Masked Man truly wished he had a self-destructive ability like the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Danzo; he really wanted to explode with these people in front of him.
"Child, don't worry. Technology is advanced now. You can recover half of your body. I can have Orochimaru use my cells to cultivate one for you and then transplant it."
Hashirama Senju comforted the Masked Man with a look of "concern."
Hashirama Senju's idea was to follow the future scenario described by Shirozumi.
The Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki, lost an arm, but he was able to grow a new arm from his cells and reattach it, and it worked perfectly fine.
Wouldn't that work for the Masked Man too?
Yes, that makes sense.
But an arm is one thing, but can the crucial parts be transplanted using someone else's cells?
If a child is born then, whose child will it belong to?
What if we discover that the child has awakened Wood Release?
Hashirama Senju's seemingly comforting and kind words actually give the impression of being cunning and White-Cut-Black.
That's absolutely devastating.
Imagine this scene.
The Masked Man waited outside the delivery room for the baby to be born. Hearing a cry from inside, he was overjoyed. "I'm a dad! I'm a dad!"
Then, the Reanimation Hashirama beside him exclaimed with delight, "I'm a dad! I'm a dad again!"
It's too dark, too hopeless.
Shirozumi remained silent throughout.
He was unsure which way the Senju brothers were trying to drive the Masked Man.
Publicly revealing Izanami is an attempt to bring the Masked Man back.
These words now seem to have driven the Masked Man to despair.
Moreover, Shirozumi swore that he hadn't taught the two brothers what they had just said.
Although Shirozumi is the root of all evil, there is a sequence to learning the Way and each has their own area of expertise. Therefore, a disciple is not necessarily inferior to his teacher, nor is a teacher necessarily more virtuous than his disciple.
The Senju brothers' words, which put immense pressure on the Masked Man, were like a gift from heaven, a true god among men.
The Masked Man was now completely overwhelmed by the pressure.
The remaining minute felt longer than a lifetime.
With Izanami, the Masked Man would rather die than fall for her trick.
He couldn't imagine how insignificant he felt after being "whitewashed."
... But then again, while one might rather die than get infected, if they actually don't use it, they could really die.
When a person dies, nothing remains.
Unlike Madara, he doesn't have someone to help him revive and make a comeback.
Thinking about this, the Masked Man couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If he had known this would happen, he should have done what Madara Uchiha and found a successor to train. That way, if something went wrong, the successor could find a way to revive him.
So it seems the First Hokage theory was correct.
We definitely need to cultivate people who are willing to stand behind us; one person's strength is too weak.
Soon, the time for the Hollowfication effect began to count down.
The Masked Man hung alone in the air, like a roast duck.
Perhaps forced by the Senju brothers, Uchiha Kenji overdrawn all his intelligence from the Past and future, and in the last ten seconds, he actually discovered a chance to break the deadlock!
"I will still be the second Sage of Six Paths, without the slightest doubt!"
The Masked Man suddenly spoke, his fighting spirit soaring.
This sudden change startled everyone.
"Hmph, if I'm not mistaken, Izanami is Genjutsu that requires physical contact to activate, right? I don't believe you're only trying to use it on me out of desperation; you can't use it on me right now!"
The Masked Man began to sneer.
"So what? Your Hollowfication is about to end."
Konan replied.
