"I've learned it, but Grandpa, I'm afraid I don't have enough Chakra!"
Sarutobi Konohamaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. Beneath his somewhat proud gaze lingered hesitation. He was genuinely afraid. Konohamaru's talent was not lacking; when Pain invaded Konoha, he had already learned the Rasengan!
"You just focus on forming the hand seals. Grandpa will handle the rest!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Konohamaru with a solemn expression.
If his grandson could successfully perform Impure World Reincarnation, it would prove his extraordinary talent. If not, then he could only assign two people to protect him. By now, his jōnin servant was no longer of any use.
"Mm." Konohamaru nodded seriously.
"Then start forming the seals. Time waits for no one." Sarutobi Hiruzen urged him, standing behind Konohamaru and watching his every movement.
Meanwhile!
Root's subordinates had already brought up the sacrifice. This was the last unconscious person. After this, they would have to use the people they had just captured for Impure World Reincarnation.
Konohamaru nodded, and his hands began to form seals!
However,
His sealing speed was slow, but every hand sign was neat and precise, bearing all the marks of a genius.
Haha!
His, Sarutobi Hiruzen's, grandson also had what it took to become Hokage.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was feeling pleased with himself, Konohamaru finished forming the seals. Then, with a solemn expression, he pressed his palm against the ground. "Impure World Reincarnation!"
As those words fell!
The Impure World Reincarnation ritual formed and began rapidly draining his Chakra!
Konohamaru's face swiftly turned pale!
"Grandpa!" Konohamaru immediately sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly cried out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also realized that his grandson had run out of Chakra. He quickly formed hand seals as well, casting a linking ninjutsu that could transfer his Chakra to another person!
This was
