Resurrection Again

"Simply put, it is to protect this world! The arrival of otherworldly power, I do not know what kind of influence it will have on this world. I am, after all, a man who has already died; my will has proven ineffective in the current world. With you as my successor, the path of the future should be left for you to decide."

"Go and understand this world, then protect it using your own methods," the Sage of Six Paths said slowly.

"However, you must be careful. Your Rinnegan is only in its infancy, just like you yourself; it also needs to grow. Although it does not need to overcome various obstacles or experience repeated stimulation to awaken like the Sharingan, it still requires powerful spiritual energy and chakra to support it. Right now, it is much like an infant."

So that was it. Uchiha Cheng nodded; he understood this point. After all, this was his own power. If it had emerged as a complete entity, he would have ended up like Nagato, drained into a husk.

"I understand. If I have sufficient ability in the future, I will certainly do my best to protect this world. Rest assured, Ancestor!"

Uchiha Cheng accepted the request of the Sage of Six Paths. Having just received help from this ancestor, he truly could not refuse this request. There was still his mother in this world whom he cared about, and maintaining the world was also protecting his own family. Furthermore, this was not a mandatory order.

The Sage of Six Paths nodded, his figure gradually fading away. The light of this world also began to vanish. Uchiha Cheng's figure slowly disappeared as well.

Konoha Hospital, on a hospital bed.

Uchiha Cheng slowly opened his eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling.

He had been resurrected.

"Cheng!"

With a cry of surprise, he felt his cheeks being cupped by two hands.

His mother, Uchiha Mika, held his face in her hands, her voice trembling as tears flowed uncontrollably; she seemed unable to believe that the scene before her was real.

Uchiha Cheng said softly, "Mother, I am fine."

Uchiha Cheng's awakening caused a sensation at Konoha Hospital. According to the doctors in the know, when the child was brought in, his body had already stiffened and his heart had stopped beating. Had it not been for his mother's desperate pleading, there would have been no need for resuscitation at all. Yet, after being dead for half an hour, the child's vital signs had reappeared. After three days in a coma, he had woken up directly, and his body was perfectly healthy without the slightest abnormality. It was simply a miracle in medical history.

Including the time he was dead and in a coma, Uchiha Cheng had lain in the hospital bed for three days. After waking up and undergoing various tests, Uchiha Cheng found that there were no problems with his body and left the hospital with his mother.

On the way home, Uchiha Mika cried and laughed, tears streaming down her face while she chuckled. To celebrate his narrow escape from death, Uchiha Mika specially prepared a table full of a feast, making Uchiha Cheng, who had not eaten good food for a long time, ravenous.

He devoured the food greedily, as if he were a starving ghost reincarnated. Uchiha Mika sat quietly to the side, tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes.

Uchiha Mika felt as if she were in a dream; the experience of these past three days had been like a rollercoaster. That piece of trash had almost taken away her only hope, and the moment she saw her son die, she had fallen straight into despair. Fortunately, the gods had opened their eyes and sent her son back to her.

Even now, her heart was filled with lingering fear and regret—regret that she had not dealt with that piece of trash sooner, allowing him to harm her child, and fear because she had almost caused her child's death due to her own actions.
