"Even so, I still want to see it."
Oyashiro En dropped to his knees.
"Tch, if that's the case..."
Araki pondered for a moment before asking, "Did you find out the specifics of their plan? How long would this so-called resurrection operation take to prepare?"
"I did." Seeing that Araki seemed to be softening, Oyashiro En hurriedly said, "It was said that before Seimei died, he left behind a will. As long as they gathered the four legendary ninja tools he had personally forged during his lifetime and used sufficiently powerful chakra as an energy source, they could resurrect him."
"Which four ninja tools?"
"Infinite Armor, the Dragon Eye Telescopic Sword, the Peacock Twin Swords, and the Black Light Sword."
"Have they found them?"
"They have—no, there was never any need to look for them. Those four legendary ninja tools have always been passed down through the generations by the Four Grandmaster Families." Oyashiro En waved his hand.
"So their plan would be complete once they had an energy source?"
Araki was puzzled. What was so difficult about that?
"Ahem, the situation is actually like this."
Oyashiro En cleared his throat. "Those four legendary ninja tools are inherited by the Four Grandmaster Families of the Land of Artisans and serve as symbols of their identity and status. The ones who proposed this idea weren't the current heads of the four families, but the younger generation. They believed that the Land of Artisans had always been making ninja tools for other countries, especially the Five Great Nations, and that this amounted to enslavement. So they wanted to resurrect their ancestor Seimei and resist."
"And then? The grandmasters disagreed?" Araki guessed.
"Of course. Not only did they disagree, they even locked up their own sons and daughters." Oyashiro En sounded rather helpless.
