"What? You actually know what happened back then!" Konan felt a chill run down her spine as she recalled Nagato's situation. Luckily, the other party wasn't hostile; otherwise, Nagato and she probably wouldn't have been able to stop him.
"Hmph, as expected. Although I don't know what you're plotting, at least so far, our goals are the same, and that's enough. Come on." If there's anything more important to Madara Uchiha than the Rinnegan, it's Madara Uchiha himself.
Does this guy want to resurrect Madara Uchiha? But how does he know that the Rinnegan can revive people? Did the ancient Sage of Six Paths leave some clues that Madara Uchiha discovered? That makes sense; the Uchiha Clan is a great clan with a history of over a thousand years, so it's plausible that Madara Uchiha would understand the specific abilities of the Rinnegan.
However, there's absolutely no way I can revive Madara Uchiha. Black Zetsu is probably trying to control me to revive Madara, just like he did with Madara Uchiha Obito. But why didn't he act when I was at my weakest recently? Is there some secret I don't know about?
It seems we'll have to be wary of Black Zetsu's possession techniques from now on.
Under the command of Black Zetsu and the actions of the White Zetsu, Nagato's body slowly regained its vitality, and the life force that had been drained by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path over the years was replenished.
Nagato's strength, which had already reached a bottleneck, began to slowly improve again.
"I feel like if I give myself a few more years, maybe I can catch up with that woman." Unfortunately, judging from her age, her strength probably still has room to grow. Oh well, I'll just avoid provoking the Land of Snow.
After half~
"How do you feel? The one I fused with for you was a specially made White Zetsu. You should be able to use large-scale Wood Release Ninjutsu now. I'll bring you the Wood Release scroll from Senju Hashirama later." The strengthened Nagato shouldn't be someone the Five Great Nations can deal with alone. As long as he doesn't provoke that woman from the Land of Snow, the Tailed Beast Plan should be fine.
"It's better than ever before, but I still need some time to get used to it." Nagato shakily stepped off the operating table, feeling the coldness under her feet.
It's been so long since I've felt this grounded feeling...
Land of Snow, Hidden Snow Village ~
" Orochimaru, let's begin." Tsunade had already succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, looked at her old teammate beside her, a hint of complexity in her eyes.
"Heh, I never expected Tsunade to agree to something like this. It's quite surprising." What kind of drug did Uchiha Gen give Tsunade to convince Tsunade to willingly use the Impure World Reincarnation on her own family?
"Enough with the nonsense, get on with your business." There are still plenty of things waiting for him back in Konoha. Although Yuki's Flying Raijin Technique has made it much easier to travel between the two places, Yuki the Flying Thunder God, so he can't travel between the two places like he's going home.
"Understood, Forbidden Technique - Impure World Reincarnation!" Orochimaru took out the medium and sacrifice he had prepared beforehand and once again used the forbidden technique passed down from the Second.
Bang~
A strange force came crashing down, but fortunately Orochimaru was prepared and dodged in time.
"Damn it, Orochimaru, you really did keep his body tissue." He had originally planned to test him, but he didn't expect Orochimaru to actually do something to him.
" Tsunade, you know me. I wouldn't have kept these things without the old man's and those people's permission." Damn it, Tsunade actually set a trap. Sure enough, everyone who becomes Hokage has a dirty heart.
The forbidden technique continues~
Whoosh whoosh~
A Impure World Reincarnation appeared, and a boy of about ten years old stood before them.
" Nawaki, we finally meet again. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye." Looking at his disciple who died young, Orochimaru once again sighed at the fragility of life. Fortunately, his Reincarnation Jutsu was now basically complete.
" Orochimaru- sensei? Sis? What's going on? Wait, didn't I step on an Explosive Tag trap...? Where, where am I?" As her soul returned, Nawaki Senju slowly regained her senses.
" Nawaki ~" Without saying much, Tsunade forward and hugged him tightly.
" Gen, is all this trouble just so that the siblings can meet?" Orochimaru looked at the man waiting quietly to the side, his expression slightly curious.
"Of course it's not just that. Anyway, the situation is now under control, Orochimaru, you're practically one of us now, so there's really no need to hide this little thing from you. Our main objective this time is to revive Nawaki." Since Orochimaru would find out sooner or later anyway, there was absolutely no need to hide Nawaki's situation.
"Resurrection? Impure World Reincarnation shouldn't be enough to satisfy Tsunade. Wait, could it be that Sand Ninja from before? One's Own Life Reincarnation?" Orochimaru, who had successfully extracted the secret technique of One's Own Life Reincarnation from Oka Hachiro, instantly realized the key.
Although I now know the Sunagakure technique of One's Own Life Reincarnation, it's impossible for me, Orochimaru, to sacrifice my life to save someone. Such a useless secret technique can only serve as a reference for me.
As for sending a subordinate to learn this secret technique? Even if he could learn it, how can you guarantee he'd sacrifice himself to save you if you died? What if he inherits your fortune and becomes his own boss?
But since Gen is so certain, could it be that he has already improved the forbidden technique of One's Own Life Reincarnation?
"It seems Orochimaru had a lot of hidden tricks up his sleeve after that incident." It seems Orochimaru also resurrected Oka Hachiro afterward, which means the One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu has now fallen into Orochimaru's hands.
"Hehe, just out of curiosity. After all, anyone would be curious if a big shot like Gen would go to the trouble of resurrecting a nobody from Sunagakure." Anyway, now that he's joined Gen's side, he's not afraid that Gen-kun will cause him trouble over something so trivial.
"Gen, I'm counting on you from now on." Tsunade, having finished Tsunade up, turned to look at him. Tsunade was still very confident in Uchiha Gen's resurrection combination forbidden technique, after all, there were precedents like Pakura and Kurenai Yuhi.
"Hmm, it's no big deal."
"Hmm? Gen personally took action? As expected, the One's Own Life Reincarnation has been improved? Gen is truly a genius." Orochimaru watched Uchiha Gen personally take action and began to ponder how to obtain the improved version of the Uchiha Gen Technique from One's Own Life Reincarnation.
It seems that besides the Living Corpse Reincarnation, he doesn't have anything else worth mentioning. Living Corpse Reincarnation, being a forbidden technique, doesn't seem to have much value to Gen, does it? If the Heavenly Cursed Seal could be more perfect, Gen might be tempted. It seems he'll have to take it slow.
