Can You Really Bring My Little Brother Back to Life?

Tsunade walked down the streets of the Uchiha residential district, listening to the gossip behind her as her cheeks flushed crimson:

"Damn!!!"

Only then did Tsunade realize that following Uchiha Gōka home at night could easily lead to misunderstandings.

After walking for a while, they arrived at an elegant courtyard.

Uchiha Gōka opened the door and walked inside.

A trace of hesitation crossed Tsunade's brow.

In all her life, Tsunade had never gone to a boy's house so late at night. It left her feeling slightly awkward and nervous.

But after a brief hesitation, Tsunade still followed Uchiha Gōka into the courtyard.

"Why is it so dark in here?"

"Of course it's dark. I'm an orphan living alone."

Hearing Uchiha Gōka's words, Tsunade remembered that his parents had died while carrying out a mission.

The current Uchiha Gōka could indeed be considered nothing more than an orphan.

Uchiha Gōka turned on the lights, and the courtyard immediately brightened.

In the living room, Uchiha Gōka poured Tsunade a cup of hot water. The two sat face-to-face at close range.

Having held it in for so long, Tsunade was immensely curious about what exactly Uchiha Gōka's resurrection technique was.

"Can you explain the resurrection technique to me in detail now?"

For a moment, Uchiha Gōka did not know how to explain it to Tsunade.

"Hmm..."

After thinking briefly, Uchiha Gōka explained.

"Besides Impure World Reincarnation, have you ever heard of any other techniques that can revive the dead?"

Tsunade gently shook her head.

Recalling some resurrection techniques from the anime he had watched in his previous life, Uchiha Gōka continued.

"There are many kinds of resurrection techniques."

"At present, there are three ninjutsu in our world capable of bringing back the dead—Impure World Reincarnation, Rinne Rebirth, and Life Transfer Reincarnation."

"Beyond that, Dragon Balls, weapons, items, Underworld Fruits, resurrection medicine, and so on can also revive the dead."

"There are also special abilities—Twelve Labors, Light of Awakening, Return by Death, Monster Reborn, and others—that can revive the dead as well."

"However, those items, fruits, resurrection medicines, and the like that can revive the dead do not currently exist in the ninja world."

"And those resurrection abilities are not very perfect."

"For example, Impure World Reincarnation can only summon the deceased's soul back to the world of the living. It cannot truly revive the dead."

"Six Paths Reincarnation and Life Transfer Reincarnation can only exchange the caster's life for the life of the deceased."

"Light of Awakening and resurrection medicine would cause the revived dead to become zombies directly."

Uchiha Gōka gave Tsunade a detailed introduction to the resurrection abilities from the anime worlds he remembered from his previous life.

As a master of medical ninjutsu, Tsunade's eyes widened as she listened in stunned disbelief...

The resurrection techniques Uchiha Gōka described had completely surpassed Tsunade's understanding.

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Gōka, a hint of disappointment appearing in her gaze.

"Other than Impure World Reincarnation, which can summon the souls of the dead, the rest are merely theoretical."

"If you intend to revive Nawaki based solely on these theories, that's impossible!"

"Sigh... And here I was, foolishly holding out a sliver of hope for you."

Tsunade's face looked somewhat haggard. It seemed that the last trace of hope for reviving Nawaki had been shattered.

Uchiha Gōka saw the disappointment on Tsunade's face.

"My research into resurrection techniques has not remained only at the theoretical stage."

"I've already achieved some practical results."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gōka's words, Tsunade immediately raised her head, her eyes narrowing.

"Oh? You've achieved practical results?"

"Come with me!"

Knowing Tsunade did not believe him, Uchiha Gōka stood and headed toward the basement.

Watching Uchiha Gōka leave, Tsunade followed him...

Soon, the two arrived in the basement.

Tsunade carefully examined the spacious basement.

Inside was a lively orange cat.

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Gōka beside her.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Uchiha Gōka did not answer Tsunade. Instead, he walked straight over to the adorable orange cat, picked it up, and handed it to her.

"Is this a normal cat?"

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Gōka curiously.

"This cat is very lively. There's nothing wrong with it."

As a master of medical ninjutsu, Tsunade could tell at a glance that this was a healthy orange cat.

Uchiha Gōka took the orange cat from Tsunade with one hand and picked up a sharp knife from the table with the other.

"Slash!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Gōka plunged the knife directly into the orange cat's heart.

"Meow...!"

With a shrill cry, the orange cat died on the spot, blood pouring out.

Tsunade's heart tightened, and shock filled her eyes.

"Why are you being so cruel?"

"Why did you kill this adorable orange cat?"

There was a trace of reproach in Tsunade's voice.

Uchiha Gōka handed the blood-covered orange cat to Tsunade.

"Is this orange cat dead now?"

Tsunade accepted the orange cat, her heart filled with horror.

Ignoring the silent Tsunade, Uchiha Gōka took the orange cat from her hands and placed it on the table.

Then, a vivid emerald-green radiance suddenly appeared from Uchiha Gōka's hands.

The light was like newly sprouted tender green leaves, lush and brilliantly vibrant.

Uchiha Gōka placed both hands on the orange cat.

Then, something happened that left Tsunade utterly dumbfounded.

The massive wound on the blood-soaked orange cat's body rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In mere moments, the orange cat actually woke up.

Although its body was still stained with blood from before, its condition was exactly the same as before it had been killed—lively and adorable.

Tsunade stared at the scene before her in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

"That orange cat was clearly dead in my hands just now!"

"How did it suddenly come back to life???"

"How did the wound on its body heal in an instant?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Even the ninja world's medical ninjutsu cannot bring a dead orange cat back to life."

The more she thought about it, the less Tsunade could understand...

Tsunade's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Gōka before her.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and after a brief silence...

Tsunade's breathing quickened, her emotions growing agitated.

"Karmic Fire, do you really know a resurrection technique?"

"Can you help me revive Nawaki?"

Tsunade's eyes were filled with longing and expectation.

Nawaki was Tsunade's only younger brother.

Reviving Uchiha Nawaki was incomparably important to Tsunade!

Uchiha Gōka looked at Tsunade's yearning face and released the orange cat in his hands.

"Whoosh!"

The orange cat swiftly leaped from Uchiha Gōka's hands to the ground, moving with nimble agility.

A glimmer of hope flashed through Tsunade's beautiful eyes as she stared intently at the orange cat running back and forth across the floor.
