Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique

Liao Wu's heart slowly sank, his gaze turning dim and lightless, like a husband too lazy to rise from bed.

Obito watched anxiously—Liao Wu had been controlled by Madara Uchiha's Sharingan.

Obito wasn't stupid; he now understood the old man who had saved him. His heart was that of the Ultimate Murder King, Madara Uchiha.

If Madara obtained Liao Wu's forbidden technique to restore his youth, he would destroy the Leaf Village.

Obito struggled fiercely, but he couldn't break free from Tobi's grip.

How was this bastard so strong?

"Who are you?"

"&&#@!"

"(*´･д･)?"

Everyone present, including Black Zetsu still hidden in the shadows, showed confusion—because they couldn't understand Liao Wu's accent at all.

Madara asked again: "What do you do?"

"I'm a tile breaker (Nakahara Gakunen)!"

Still incomprehensible. Where on earth was this accent from?

The more Madara listened, the tighter his brow furrowed.

"What do you want?"

"Bridge blocking, come! Bridge blocking, come! (Nakahara Gakunen)"

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Madara's breathing grew uneven from anger, looking like he was about to kick the bucket at any moment.

Black Zetsu was so anxious he nearly jumped out to pat Madara's back and soothe him—the old man could die any second now.

"Damn kid, you dare mock me!"

Madara realized Liao Wu had never been under the illusion at all. He dispelled the genjutsu control and angrily channeled his Lightning Release Chakra.

"Kid, let's see if I electrocute you or not!"

The moment the illusion was lifted, Liao Wu's scalp tingled—Madara was shocking him.

"Ancestor, no more electrocuting! I'll talk, I'll say everything!"

Obito felt a chill creep over his scalp. Madara Uchiha had completely dropped the act, revealing his bloodthirsty nature.

Liao Wu howled in pain as Madara zapped him. He had been lured out of the village by Madara's promises, and now he was being electrocuted.

This incident once again taught Liao Wu a deep lesson—don't trust scams!

After a moment, Liao Wu told Madara the truth.

"Ancestor, it's not that I don't want to give you my life—it's that I really don't know how."

Madara tapped his cane: "Drag him away. Bury him in the latrine."

Tobi immediately bounded forward with glee.

Liao Wu quickly backed away, shouting: "Wait, I have a way, I still have a way!"

"What way do you have? I'm telling you, if you can't make me young again, you won't see tomorrow's sun."

Madara felt his old eyes growing blurry, even seeing double of Liao Wu. Between casting illusions on him and electrocuting him, Madara was clearly exhausted.

He secretly hated this aged, decaying body. How desperately he needed a young body!

Liao Wu swallowed his saliva, then said: "Ancestor, I know of a forbidden technique called Dragon Life Reincarnation. This technique can sacrifice one's own life to make someone else young."

Madara stared at Liao Wu: "Kid, are you lying to me again?"

Liao Wu quickly swore: "Ancestor, I'm really not lying this time. I swear on the name of my eight generations of ancestors—if I'm lying, may my ancestors never find peace in the Pure Land."

Madara nodded. This time, he believed Liao Wu.

But he still had to electrocute him.

"Ahh—Ancestor, why are you shocking me again?"

"Damned brat, aren't your ancestors my elders? Don't ever swear on your ancestors again."

"Understood, understood!"

After a moment of calm, Madara asked Liao Wu: "Do you know this technique?"

Liao Wu shook his head: "I don't."

Seeing Madara about to electrocute him again, Liao Wu quickly added: "But I know where it is! It's in Kusagakure. This technique is the unique Kekkei Genkai of Kusagakure's 'Kusano Hana.'"

"Kusagakure, 'Kusano Hana'?"

Madara was puzzled.

Madara's intelligence was actually quite thorough—he even knew how to undo the Impure World Reincarnation that Tobirama Senju had developed.

But he was not omnipotent. The ninja world actually hid many Life Secret Arts, but Madara only stared at his own Reanimation Technique, subconsciously ignoring these forbidden techniques.

Black Zetsu in the shadow was also very puzzled. He had hidden this secret for a thousand years and didn't know it. How did Liao Wu find out?

Liao Wu, of course, knew from watching the movie version!

Liao Wu wasn't lying. In the Naruto movie version Blood Prison, Naruto was about to be killed by Satoru at a critical moment, and Ryūsetsu saved Naruto with the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique.

But the effect of this was to save someone on the verge of death. Madara's situation was someone about to die of old age wanting to restore youth.

He wanted to return to his peak.

In the original work, Madara was resurrected and restored to youth by the Reanimation Technique. Logically, resurrecting Madara would have been his old Madara self.

Because he died of old age.

But what was resurrected was Madara at his peak. The Reanimation Technique clearly resurrected a person to their most peak state.

The Reanimation Technique surpassed all Life Secret Arts. No wonder Madara wasn't interested in other Life Secret Arts.

Madara took a deep breath and instructed White Zetsu: "Zetsu, go to Kusagakure and capture the person who knows this forbidden technique."

"Yes!"

Because Tobi had left Obito once before, Obito could also speak now.

He cursed Liao Wu: "Liao Wu, do you know you're harming people? And you claim to be a Leaf Medical Ninja? You're simply a human face, beast heart."

Can't cure Madara, but can't I cure you, Obito?

Liao Wu directly kicked Tobi away, and the chakra in his hand turned into Lightning Style chakra.

"I'll shock you!"

"Ahhh—"

"Liao Wu, you bastard, when did you learn Lightning Style?"

The argument that Liao Wu only knew Rasengan was wrong.

Liao Wu's chakra natures were Yin, Yang, Fire, and Lightning.

He was a rare Uchiha with Yang Release chakra nature, which was also why he could become a Medical Ninja and learn Medical Ninjutsu.

As for Fire Style and Lightning Style, Liao Wu had mastered a few C-rank ones, taught to him by Mikoto's father in his early years, but he had never been able to use them because of his body.

As for the Rasengan, he developed it to trick Minato into teaching him Flying Thunder God, but that old monkey Sarutobi was watching closely.

As soon as Liao Wu's technique was developed, the Anbu came to check his water meter, but Liao Wu also used the opportunity to bargain for a promotion to Chunin.

Otherwise, being a Genin at over thirty, he really would have had to restart.

Now that Liao Wu had White Zetsu Cells in his body.

His chakra natures had increased to include Earth and Water, and a large amount of Yang was supplemented.

He could practice even more ninjutsu now.

"Liao Wu, you dog thief! As a Leaf Ninja, I will never beg for mercy from a rogue ninja like you!"

Obito had a little strong life. No matter how much Liao Wu shocked him, he wouldn't bow his head.

"Hmph!"

Liao Wu snorted coldly. He had long known this guy was a white-eyed wolf that couldn't be tamed, so he had no expectations of him.

Now it was every man for himself, and heaven and earth would destroy those who didn't act. To protect himself, Liao Wu had to find a way to stall Madara.

If the forbidden technique of Kusagakure's "Kusano Hana" couldn't restore Madara's youth, Liao Wu still had another move.

That was Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation. If there was no other way, he would drag Orochimaru down with him.

If he was going to die, he would take a bunch of people with him.

On the other side, Madara couldn't help but sink into sleep. He was simply too old.

He had never been well since the battle with Hashirama. The Rinnegan awakened by combining the Senju Shinra Bansho Power was even more of a burden to Madara. If he installed it, he would be drained dry.

So it had been kept with Nagato all along.

If he were in his prime, he could properly deal with an unfilial descendant like Liao Wu right now.

But for now, he could only shock him while half-believing his words.

Leaf Village, Hokage Building.

"Sarutobi, who told you to let Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Minato come back? Do you know that without their deterrence, Cloud and Stone Villages are starting to stir?"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage. I don't need to explain anything I do to you!"

Minato led his team to the Hokage Building to hand over their mission, preparing to head to the Mist Village Frontline. Hearing the commotion from the Hokage Building, he couldn't help but get a headache.

Three days, and they were still arguing. It seemed the Hokage-sama was really under a lot of pressure this time.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura accompanied Danzo in pressuring the Third Hokage.

"Sarutobi, you were truly high-handed this time. You ordered the execution of Uchiha Ryōboku without consulting any of us."

"Do you have any idea how furious the Daimyō is this time? He's already cut the village's war funding."

The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I will go to the capital myself to explain to the Daimyō, but my decision is not wrong. Ryōboku's forbidden technique is an evil art—one that absorbs the lives of others."

"As Hokage, I will never tolerate the existence of such an evil technique."

Danzō said, "Sarutobi, there is no such thing as an evil or righteous ninjutsu in this world! If the village obtained his forbidden technique, aging shinobi could become young again."

"With those shinobi replenishing our ranks, Leaf Village wouldn't have to struggle so hard to defeat those clowns."

The Third Hokage looked at Danzō and said, "Is it you who wants to become young again, Danzō?"

Danzō fixed his single eye on Sarutobi and replied, "What's wrong with that? Sarutobi, you're also a man in your fifties now. Can you still wield Enma?"

The Third Hokage stood up and slammed his desk. "Even at seventy, even at eighty, I will still be able to wield Enma."

"Because as Hokage, my duty is to protect the village and its people. I will never trade the lives of villagers for my own youth."

Danzō countered, "Sarutobi, we don't have to experiment on villagers. We can use bandits, outlaws, or enemy shinobi from other nations."

The Third Hokage asked again, "And when they run out?"

"..."

Danzō was left speechless.

"Danzō, do you truly think human lives are like leeks—cut one batch and another will grow back?"

"All three of you, get out of here. I'll bear the Daimyō's pressure myself. But let me make this clear: anyone in this village who dares to toy with lives—I will break their hands."

"Sarutobi, you'd better think this over. This time, no matter what, you'll have to take responsibility and resign."

As the Will of Fire's fierce aura erupted, Danzō and his two companions could only slink away after throwing out their threats.

Danzō replayed the scene in his mind, growing angrier the more he thought. He had been cowed by Sarutobi's presence and failed to push back.

The shinobi world never lacked for people!
