Resurrection?

"Ah, why are we looking for someone like her to be Hokage...?"

"Shut up. Tsunade made outstanding contributions to the village during the war years, whether by healing the wounded and saving lives or killing enemies on the battlefield... This isn't your place to interrupt."

Jiraiya cut Naruto's little tantrum short.

"Hmph, Jiraiya, compared to the people you taught before, this kid is far inferior in eloquence, strength, and looks."

Tsunade said disdainfully.

"What did you say?!"

"Compared to the Fourth Hokage, anyone would pale in comparison."

"Hey, hey, aside from me, Big Sen, everyone else here is nothing but fodder waiting to be slain!"

As Uchiha Sen rose to his feet, everyone suddenly noticed this twitchy-looking fellow.

He wasn't wrong...

He looked no older than a teenager, yet he possessed such strength. In that regard, he truly surpassed everyone else. Even the First Hokage and that man from the Uchiha Clan might not have been any better...

Jiraiya and Tsunade thought to themselves.

"My grandfather and granduncle both wished to put an end to the wars, yet before their dreams could be realized, they died in vain for the village."

[Ding! Headquarters has issued a temporary mission: Planet Invasion Plan One. Great planetary warrior Hole-Hole Monster, the pretty young lady before you is a promising target for development. Help her return to the Hidden Leaf Village and successfully persuade her to become Hokage. We believe the planet's strongest warrior will surely complete the mission!]

[Mission Reward: *Enhanced Perfect Edo Tensei* (repaired and enhanced by the system; no longer requires the deceased's bodily tissue, nor living beings as vessels, allowing for perfect resurrection. The host may freely choose whether the reincarnated person obeys orders, and the reincarnated person retains one hundred percent of their strength from when they were alive.)]

The densely packed words made Uchiha Sen's head spin, yet strangely, he didn't blow up.

"Tsunade, you seem to..."

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Uchiha Sen suddenly shouted.

"Mission guaranteed!"

Everyone's gazes converged on him. Haku smiled and explained:

"Um... please continue, you two... Lord Sen might be feeling unwell..."

Haku's little face flushed red as he waved his hands awkwardly, his tone filled with apology.

Jiraiya turned away, composed himself, and continued:

"Though I don't know what exactly you've been through, I never expected to hear such words come from your mouth."

"Hmph."

Tsunade rested her cheek on one hand. It had to be said that her rosy face and proud figure still made Jiraiya's heart stir, even though she was already in her fifties.

"Don't be fooled by how I look. I'm already over fifty. Time changes people."

Smack!

Before anyone could react, Uchiha Sen slammed the table and shot to his feet again.

"Don't talk about how time spares no one. That's nothing but an excuse to run away!"

Tsunade's expression changed slightly. Sen's careless words seemed to have struck precisely at her weakest point.

"With Lord Sen here, there's nothing that can't be done. Forget your grandfather and granduncle—even if you want to resurrect someone, it can be done!"

[I told you to cooperate with her persuasion... I didn't tell you to brag...]

He had hit the nail right on the head...

After their shock, everyone felt relieved again. If resurrection truly existed in this world, how could there be so many separations between life and death?

"Um, you two, please continue talking..."

Haku's face had turned completely red... Why did his lord always like doing such unreliable things...?
