Resurrection

Itachi Uchiha did not refute this, for in his heart, the village stood above his clan.

"Very well, let us leave it at that. Do you have any of Shisui's biological tissue?"

Itachi was stunned, but he quickly produced the Sharingan Shisui had left behind—the Mangekyo Sharingan, renowned for possessing the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.

Fei Shi took a single drop of blood from the eyeball and gestured for Itachi to put it away.

Fei Shi looked toward the ground, as if something were hidden beneath it.

BOOM!

He slammed a fist into the earth, and a white, humanoid creature was ejected, only to be immediately seized by Fei Shi.

It was the creature known as White Zetsu.

"Damn it! Let me go!"

"Heh, be a good sacrifice."

After completing the preparations, he chanted:

"Ninja Art: Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation!"

"Ah!"

Amidst the howling of White Zetsu, his appearance shifted into that of Shisui.

"Where am I? Did I not die?"

Fei Shi said with a hint of irritation:

"Shut up for now."

He then brought out two coffins, containing none other than the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki.

"Lord Fourth and Lady Kushina Uzumaki!"

"Are they not... have they not already been buried?!"

Itachi and Shisui were shocked.

"There is much you do not know."

He then produced several fruits from the Tree of Life.

These fruits could heal their wounds and replenish their life force; they were exactly what was needed.

Kushina Uzumaki was currently in a near-death state, but with sufficient life force, she could be pulled back from the brink.

As for Minato Namikaze, he would be perfect for monitoring the Root ninja who had followed Itachi here.

He walked out the door and extended a hand toward the hiding spot of the Root ninja.

"Tenseigan: Attraction."

The Root ninja was seized by Fei Shi while still in a state of utter confusion—though because the ninja wore a mask, Fei Shi could not see the bewildered expression.

Using genjutsu to control the Root ninja, Fei Shi performed the hand seals to undo the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

He had seen this in the Scroll of Seals; he had never learned it, but he had memorized the process.

"Ha! Hu! Ha! Hei! Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release!"

A death god, ancestral to the Uzumaki Clan and wearing a ghastly mask, appeared before the Root ninja. Following the god's movements, it sliced open its own stomach, and a mass of souls drifted out.

Fei Shi then took the Water of Life that had flowed from the Tree of Life and poured it onto Minato Namikaze's wounds.

The pierced chest slowly knitted back together, and Fei Shi guided the soul of Minato Namikaze into the body.

He carefully crushed the Fruit of Life and placed it into the mouths of the couple.

Then, he began to wait.

Naruto was not here at the moment, having been sent to the Hyuga compound to train in taijutsu and combat techniques.

Hiashi Hyuga had agreed to this out of respect for Fei Shi. Besides, since it wasn't the Hyuga's Gentle Fist being taught, he could also take the opportunity to observe the results of his own daughter's training.

Returning to the matter at hand.

An hour later, Kushina Uzumaki slowly opened her eyes.

"Where is this? Ah, you are... Right! Fei Shi! You are of the Uzumaki Clan, just like me."

"It seems... Right! Naruto! Where is Naruto? Naruto? Fei Shi, where has Naruto gone?"

Truly, a mother's instinct.

"Wait, I... I am healed? I... I am healed! Hahahaha, I am healed! Where is Minato? Minato, you, wake up quickly..."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough! Stop shaking me, Kushina, stop shaking me, cough, cough, cough, cough!"

"Hahahaha, Minato! We are healed! We are healed! Wuu, wuu, we can stay with Naruto now, wuu, wuu!"

Kushina wept with joy.

Indeed, they had thought they would die, and that they would never be able to accompany Naruto again.

As it turned out, he met a benefactor who helped him resurrect, allowing him to be with his child again. One must ask, what parent wouldn't be overjoyed by that?

"Ahem, Naruto has gone to the Hyuga estate. He's on very good terms with the Hyuga princess right now, and I was thinking..."

Fei Shi held up two index fingers and pressed them together.

Kushina Uzumaki asked, "How old is he now? Looking at your age, he must be around four, right?"

"Yes. I have a familial connection with the Hyuga clan head; his daughter is my niece. That kid Naruto is quite something."

"That works! The Hyuga princess, your niece—perfect! I've made up my mind!"

Itachi Uchiha and Shisui felt incredibly awkward, wanting to speak up but not knowing how to begin.

"And you two are?"

Noticing them, Minato Namikaze sensed their discomfort and asked.

"Greetings, Lord Hokage. Hello, Aunt Kushina."

"Oh, you must be... Mikoto's son, Itachi Uchiha, right?"

"Yes, and this is my best friend, Shisui."

Minato Namikaze then asked the question he had been meaning to pose for a long time. As Hokage, how could he not know about the Edo Tensei jutsu? He was well aware that it was a forbidden technique and recognized its distinct characteristics.

"Shisui Uchiha, I know of you. How did you end up in an Edo Tensei body? The Uchiha clan shouldn't have let a genius like you throw your life away."

"It was Danzo. Shisui awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and possessed the ocular jutsu 'Kotoamatsukami,' which could be called the strongest genjutsu. He wanted to use it to control Fugaku and resolve the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan. But he foolishly revealed his plan to the higher-ups. They all agreed, but Danzo wanted to steal his eyes. Then... this happened, and that happened. Now he's stuck in this ghostly state."

Fei Shi spoke without reservation.

He trusted the Little Sun.

Shisui felt so awkward he could have dug a hole to hide in.

Fei Shi: Good, the more rooms, the better.

He had been warned, yet he had still foolishly walked right into the trap.

"Let's discuss this later. Although Fei Shi's plan is bloody, it is a way for the Uchiha to be reborn. It can also serve as a lesson for the remaining clansmen, encouraging them to change their personalities."

Seeing the impatient look on Kushina Uzumaki's face, Minato Namikaze cut the discussion short.

"Naruto! Naruto! Go get him! Fei Shi, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Kushina was dying to see Naruto and began urging Fei Shi. They were dead, after all, and it wouldn't be easy to appear in public; it would be far too shocking for the world.

Fei Shi didn't want them to show themselves yet either; he wanted to recruit Minato Namikaze into the revolution.

"Alright, my dear nephew, take a look at this before I go."

Fei Shi cracked a joke at Minato, leaving the latter speechless.

This damned seniority.

Itachi Uchiha left, but Shisui stayed behind, finding a room to go and reflect on his life.

"Red Ideology, is it? Truly a magnificent philosophy. I was too shortsighted in the past."

"Naruto! You brat! What are you doing? Get over here!"

The moment he stepped into the Hyuga estate, Fei Shi began shouting for Naruto.

He strode toward the Hyuga clan's training grounds with an arrogant, swaggering gait.

The members of the Hyuga clan watched his brazen posture, their hearts filled with a mix of love and hate. They hated him, yet they had witnessed his new abilities. They loved him, yet he was so arrogant they wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face.

"You brat, you're finally here. Take this kid and get lost! Hinata isn't going anywhere! If you come back, my daughter will be snatched away!"
