Bang~
As Uchiha Gen fell, Orochimaru's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
What's going on? Is this all? Isn't this just the same old thing? Sacrificing himself to save Nawaki to fulfill Tsunade's dream? When did Uchiha Gen become so great? This is so anti-intellectual, and Orochimaru, who has been influenced by scientific concepts for many years, really can't accept this kind of operation.
Trading the life of a powerful figure like Uchiha Gen for that trash Nawaki? Nawaki doesn't deserve it.
Even if I were to exchange it myself, I would feel like I'd lost out terribly. How on earth did Tsunade manage to convince Gen?
"Sis, am I alive again?" Feeling her body temperature slowly rising, Nawaki was still somewhat dazed.
"Yes, Nawaki, you're alright." The warmth from Nawaki's palm brought tears to Tsunade.
" Izanagi - Activate!"
Ta-ta~
"Pah, pah, pah~ Tsunade, I did contribute, and you're just going to leave me lying here like this?" Uchiha Gen had just been resurrected, felt the cold ground beneath him, spat out the dust from his lips, and looked at Tsunade with a slightly complaining expression.
"Oh? Sorry, I was too concerned about Nawaki just now and didn't notice your condition. But it's nothing to complain about." Tsunade hugged Nawaki and laughed heartily, showing no sign of apology.
"No, Gen, how come you're... This doesn't make sense! You just used the ordinary One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique, how come you're unharmed? This isn't scientific." If the One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique is this overpowered, wouldn't Sunagakure be doomed? Impossible, absolutely impossible. I researched it for a long time back then. The secret technique developed by Chiyo does have its unique aspects, but it shouldn't be this overpowered.
"Haha, ordinary One's Own Life Reincarnation Techniques certainly can't achieve this level, but don't forget, I'm from the Uchiha Clan." As he spoke, Uchiha Gen pointed to the Sharingan in his eyes, looking at Orochimaru with a slightly smug expression.
In order to revive Nawaki, he specifically asked Tsunade to give him back his two Mangekyō Sharingan, Divine Grace and Tsukuyomi.
" Uchiha Clan? Sharingan? Could it be... Izanagi, no, it's the One's Own Life Reincarnation and Izanagi that caused this astonishing effect. Gen, you really are..." For a moment, Orochimaru didn't know how to describe his current feelings. He, who always adhered to scientific and innovative thinking and rational reasoning, had never thought of this combination...
"That's right, it's the One's Own Life Reincarnation combined with Izanagi, Orochimaru. If anything happens to you in the future, I will also use this method to revive you. After all, you are now an indispensable and important talent for our Hidden Snow Village." Even the dead must be brought back to work two extra days. The Will of Snow starts with you.
"Then I'll have to trouble you Gen." I never expected to receive such benefits working under Gen. No wonder a remote place like Hidden Snow Village has developed so remarkably.
"Sis, what time is it? Why is it so cold? It was summer when we went to the battlefield. Have I been dead for a long time?" Nawaki looked around at the surroundings while secretly observing the man in front of her who could perform resurrection magic.
The Sharingan in the other person's eyes undoubtedly indicated that they were from the Uchiha Clan, but how could someone who possessed such an astonishing secret technique have never been heard of in Konoha?
My older sister must have paid a heavy price to have the Uchiha Clan members revive her, right?
" Nawaki, several decades have passed since that war. This is the Land of Snow." Orochimaru looked at his disciple and patiently explained.
"Decades? Orochimaru- sensei, are you kidding me? It feels like I just took a nap, how could decades have passed? If decades have passed, wouldn't Delia be married by now? No, no, she probably even has kids by now." Thinking of his teammate whom he had a slight crush on, Nawaki's composure instantly crumbled.
"Uh... Delia?" After thinking for a long time, Orochimaru finally remembered the name. Hanako was one of the three subordinates he had led. Due to her poor talent and the incident with Nawaki, he had lost interest in leading the team. He had persuaded that Genin named Delia to leave more than ten years ago.
"Judging by her age, if nothing unexpected happens, she's probably already a grandparent by now." Orochimaru licked his lips, calculating with a touch of melancholy. Time always slips away unnoticed; he never imagined that the Genin he once led would now be grandparents.
"Ah~ how could this happen..." Nawaki looked heartbroken, even the joy of being resurrected was somewhat dampened.
"There are plenty of fish in the sea! With your status as the young master of the Senju Clan, are you afraid of not finding a wife?" Tsunade patted Nawaki's head, happily comforting him. With Nawaki's qualifications, as long as word got out, there would probably be plenty of clans in the Ninja World vying to send their daughters over.
"Sis, Delia is different."
"Can't you be a little more sensible? She's a grandmother now. Do you want her to marry into the Senju Clan with a wrinkled face and her son and grandson? Or should I resurrect my second grandfather and you talk to him about it?" So many years have passed, and Nawaki is still the same as before. It seems we can't let him return to Konoha for now.
"A face full of wrinkles? With a son and grandson? Uh..." The image Tsunade described flashed through Nawaki's mind, and his fantasy about his first love was instantly shattered.
"Alright, Tsunade, let's arrange for Nawaki to stay in Hidden Snow Village first. His current identity isn't suitable for him to appear in public." The news of Nawaki's resurrection can't be known to the people of Konoha, otherwise Tsunade's Hokage Position Tsunade might be in jeopardy. After all, having experienced World War I, Second Great Ninja War, Third Great Ninja War, which Konoha resident hasn't suffered a loss in their family?
If Nawaki can be resurrected, it means his family can be resurrected too, right? As the Hokage, shouldn't you be doing things for the people? Are you only thinking about resurrecting your own brother? Even if ordinary people agree, those powerful clans will try every means to get Tsunade.
"Alright, Nawaki is still growing. I'll arrange a Konoha identity for Nawaki after his appearance changes in a few years." Actually, even if we bring Nawaki back to Konoha now, it's unlikely anyone will recognize him. After all, so many years have passed. Apart from a few old folks, who would remember Nawaki who died so long ago? Even if the old folks from back then saw him, they would at most think he looked like Nawaki. Even I, as his older sister, have to admit that Nawaki's appearance is indeed quite ordinary; he didn't inherit any of our family's good genes.
" Hidden Snow Village )? Does such a place exist in the Ninja World? I've never heard of it. I do know about the Land of Snow, though." How could her sister have resurrected her in Hidden Snow Village? Could something have happened in Konoha?
