Rinne Rebirth
The ninjas below erupted in cheers. They looked at each other, then at Uchiha Kō, their hearts filled with doubt. Was it really possible for someone to be brought back to life? Wasn't this too incredible?
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's lips twitched. His eye techniques were Byakugan and Black Eye. Even though he had plenty of chakra and could fully perform the Rinne Rebirth, he didn't actually have the Rinnegan!
Just then, Uchiha Kō channeled chakra into the Green Rinnegan in his palm. Immediately, the world changed color, and the pattern of the Green Rinnegan enveloped the Rock District battlefield.
Uchiha Kō's chakra was as vast as the sea. Even if he activated the Rinne Rebirth, he would not perish like Nagato. After Uchiha Kō filled up the chakra required for the Rinne Rebirth...
The green Rinnegan suddenly emitted a beam of blue light, radiating outwards from him throughout the entire Rock District. Pieces of light fell from the sky and merged into the corpses. The group looked at the corpses in their arms and discovered that they had begun to breathe again from their state of death.
The severed limbs began to sprout new flesh and quickly formed new limbs. At the same time, souls descended from the sky and merged into their bodies. This process lasted for more than a minute. When the Green Rinnegan fell into the hands of Uchiha Kō again, the resurrection ended!
The ninjas who had died on the battlefield rose and looked around, asking their comrades, "Weren't we killed in battle? Where is this? Is this the Pure Land? Why does it look so much like Rock District?"
"Wife, why are you crying? Did you die too?"
"Second brother, don't cry. It's my fault for being useless. I failed to protect the Rock District."
The dead ninjas wept, knowing they were dead, and the fact that they could see their loved ones meant that Rock District had been breached! Their families were dead too!
At this moment, Namikaze Minato, holding a megaphone, announced, "Everyone, please be quiet. My name is Namikaze Minato, a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kō. I know that resurrection is a difficult thing to understand, but just now..."
"My teacher, the Hokage of Konoha Uchiha Kō, pulled you out of the Pure Land and resurrected you. You did not die, but returned to the Ninja World, where you can continue to reunite with your families and enjoy family life!"
Namikaze Minato's words were very skillful. He revealed his identity only to undermine his teacher Uchiha Kō's power. Then he revealed Uchiha Kō to the public, letting the ninjas present know who his benefactor was!
This would not only win over the people but also earn praise from his teacher. Didn't you see the look of satisfaction and admiration in Uchiha Kō's eyes as he looked at Namikaze Minato?
Uchiha Kō's heart stirred. "After the war against the heavens ends, I must give the Hokage Position to Minato. Damn, this kid not only has amazing talent, but he also handles political maneuvering and interpersonal relationships very well!"
The current Uchiha Kō has no worries about Namikaze Minato being sidelined like in the original story. Sarutobi Hiruzen is now just a figurehead, and after his retirement, he won't be like those old guys who keep pointing fingers even after retirement. (I'm referring to Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura; don't overthink it.)
Thump, thump, thump—the sound of kneeling echoed as members of the Iwagakure Ninja, Cloud Ninja, and Mist Ninja Uchiha Kō.
They knew of Uchiha Kō's power and achievements. They were already convinced of Uchiha Kō 'Uchiha Kō abilities, and now that they knew Uchiha Kō possessed such unpredictable strength, capable of resurrecting the dead, the ninjas had no more worries.
From this moment on, they will sweep across the world and rebuild the universe for Uchiha Kō! Uchiha Kō proved to the ninjas of the Ninja World that anyone who submits to him can enjoy such treatment.
Uchiha Kō's reputation spread throughout the Ninja World once again! Observing the actions of the Ōnoki present and then looking at Uchiha Kō's leisurely expression and demeanor, Onoki understood!
Ōnoki knelt down beside Uchiha Kō with a thud and said, "Thank you Lord Hokage, for reviving the fine sons of Rock District. From this day forward, the affairs of Konoha are the affairs of Rock District, and the affairs of the Lord Hokage are the affairs of Ōnoki. From now on, at the Lord Hokage's command, the Rock District will go through fire and water without hesitation."
A wise man submits to circumstances. Uchiha Kō nodded at Ōnoki's surrender, then personally helped him up, saying, "What are you saying? The Ninja World is one family; we all share the same ancestor. There's no need for such formalities."
Only then did Ōnoki slowly stand up, and then politely stand one step behind Uchiha Kō. If he was wary of Uchiha Kō's strength before, he was now completely convinced.
Those who wield the power of life and death are comparable to gods. What is the consequence of opposing gods? Only death. It is better to follow in the footsteps of gods, accomplish great things, and thus leave a mark on history!
As for Darui and Karatachi Yagura, they had already died in the previous war, but it doesn't matter. Later, Uchiha Kō will have Ōtsutsuki Isshiki use this Rinnegan to continue using the Rinne Rebirth to revive everyone.
When the time comes, I will spread the news of my control over the cycle of life and death throughout the Ninja World, which will surely win the hearts of the people. At that time, the fortune of the human race will rise again, and I will also gain more leverage in the war against the heavens.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked at Ōtsutsuki Shibai: "Lord, if it were you, you should be able to do these things easily too, right?"
Ōtsutsuki Shibai nodded. "It's possible, but there's no need. Uchiha Kō needs human faith more than I do; it's one of the trump cards for the future war against the heavens."
Seeing how skillfully Uchiha Kō manipulated his methods, Ōtsutsuki Shibai felt a sense of satisfaction. If his teammate were just a reckless brute, he would really have to reconsider whether to join his plan.
After all, the enemy they are facing is much older and more powerful than themselves. Without cunning and strategy, they will only suffer a crushing defeat when dealing with such beings.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Uchiha Kō walked down. After all, he hadn't eaten yet. It was a small matter for him not to eat, but it was a big deal for his wife not to eat.
So Uchiha Kō took Tsunade and walked towards the Tsuchikage Building in Rock District. Ōnoki, being a shrewd man, immediately arranged for the cook to prepare special meals for Uchiha Kō, since everyone else was eating communal meals, which weren't very tasty, and the main thing was to fill their stomachs.
As the leader and the ruler of the Ninja World, Uchiha Kō naturally deserved to eat well. Upon receiving the order, the chef immediately sprang into action. Meanwhile, the owner of the Akimichi Clan Rock District Yakiniku Restaurant in the Akimichi Clan, having heard the news, immediately came to the kitchen to find the chef.
"You don't know the Lord Hokage's tastes. From now on, you'll be my assistant!" Chef Akimichi Clan gestured imperiously at Chef Rock District.
However, when Chef Rock District saw the Konoha Forehead Protector on his head and the Akimichi Clan- style physique that was famous throughout the Ninja World, he nodded quickly and ordered his men to hurry up!
Chef Akimichi Clan nodded, then clapped his hands: yak from the Cloud Division, chicken from the Konoha, seafood from the Mist Division, salt from the Rock District, and the latest spring water from the Sand Division.
While these ingredients might not be particularly valuable individually, their combined use on the dining table makes them incredibly valuable. This level of luxury is something only the Hokage and his vice- Hokage, or the Hokage's assistants, at Konoha headquarters can enjoy; ordinary people simply cannot.
Upon seeing these ingredients, Chef Rock District was impressed. He chuckled and assisted Chef Akimichi Clan. Chef Akimichi Clan was elated, after all, Akimichi Clan was an ally of the Lord Hokage, and the more brilliant the Lord Hokage became, the more prosperous the Akimichi Clan would be!
Of course, the clan leader Akimichi Choza, had told them that this was acceptable to people outside of Konoha headquarters, but not to people within Konoha headquarters, or they would be expelled from the clan register!
And so, under the guidance of Chef Akimichi Clan, the Rock District chefs began the intense cooking process.
In the end, they created many delicious and visually appealing dishes that whetted the appetites of the chefs. Unfortunately, Chef Akimichi Clan added a seasoning packet to each dish without revealing its contents.
With the Akimichi Clan chef and the Akimichi Clan family servants watching, no one dared to open the spice packet; they only took a close sniff and it smelled delicious.
In response, Chef Akimichi Clan simply smiled and said, "We sell these seasoning packets, and they're not expensive. If you want some, come to the Akimichi Clan Restaurant, and we'll sell them to you."
While cooking for the Lord Hokage, the Akimichi Clan chef started promoting his own products again.
They ground various spices into powder, making it impossible to detect their specific components.
Even if you are experienced and can smell one or two spices, that is not enough. Each spice packet contains at least twenty spices, and missing even one may prevent the flavor of the ingredients from coming out!
Chef Rock District's eyes flashed. If he had this seasoning packet, he could earn the Lord Tsuchikage's favor when cooking for Lord Tsuchikage.
My brother-in-law, who was a section chief, was being asked to be promoted to deputy section chief...
Thinking of this, a smile crept onto his face, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chef Akimichi Clan's arm, saying, "Brother, my dear brother, I'll buy all your seasoning packets from now on! Please remember to save some for me, dear brother!"
Chef Akimichi Clan raised an eyebrow, then shook his head. "Our master said that this seasoning packet cannot be monopolized and must be limited in quantity. Only in this way can the market and capital flow. So, brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that there are orders from above."
Chef Akimichi Clan sighed, seemingly in a difficult position. Rock District Chef Iwabe gritted his teeth and pulled Chef Akimichi Clan aside. "Brother, I'll buy it at 30% above the market price, what do you think?"
Chef Akimichi Clan shook his head. "It's not about money!"
Then Chef Rock District held out a hand. "50%, that's the maximum I can go. If it doesn't work..." His face showed pain.
The next second, Chef Akimichi Clan grasped his hand. "Fine, brother, for your sake, I will make a decision against the clan chief's will."
