The time is early October. (Land of Night 25, Konoha 16)
On October 1st, the leader of Yugakure quickly visited Konoha and signed an alliance document with Konoha Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
On October 2nd, the first wave of hundreds of fully armed Konoha Ninja followed the leader of Yugakure to the battlefield between Land of Hot Water and Land of Frost, forming a joint ninja army with Yugakure to resist the invasion of Land of Frost.
On October 6th, the suppressed Frost Village signed an alliance document with Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Mist Village. With strong support from both sides, they launched a counterattack against the combined forces of Land of Hot Water and Konoha.
Although Yugakure and Frost Village each formed a joint army, and they also had the support of the Ninja Village of the great country behind them, they were still the main force in the war.
The ninjas of Konoha, Hidden Cloud Village, and Hidden Mist Village are more observing the changes in the situation, watching each other's actions, and rarely directly intervening in the battlefield.
Maybe only if one of Yugakure or Frost Village loses, and the three ninja villages supporting it will officially intervene in the battlefield.
But once it reaches that point, the scale of the war will inevitably expand again, and it will no longer be a battle between small countries.
Since the establishment of the One Country, One Village era, there have been countless battles between small countries. It was only after Five Kage signed the peace agreement that order was gradually restored. However, direct conflicts between big countries have never occurred from beginning to end.
The focus of Ninja World is undoubtedly focused on the two countries Land of Hot Water and Land of Frost.
Yayoi's focus is also on the areas where these two countries are located, but instead of focusing all its attention on this aspect, Komurasaki, who has sneaked into Land of Frost on standby, should pay attention to the situation there at any time. Because right now, there is one more important thing that needs to be dealt with--
That is Miyamoto Raizo, which has been sleeping for five years and is finally waking up from its slumber.
With pure white walls and floors, the space is filled with white cold air, making people feel like they are in an extremely cold world.
The boxy rectangular 'coffin' is the Hibernation Pod used to maintain the body of Raizo. The blue cabin and the glass cover are covered with cold white frost.
Nene, who came in after Yayoi, has not changed much from the past. She maintains the appearance of a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
She was wearing a thin miko uniform, but she didn't seem to feel the cold, so her expressionless face showed no movement.
She came to the console and pressed a button.
The hatch of Hibernation Pod opened without any hesitation, and a large amount of white cold air spread out from Hibernation Pod, forming a thick white mist that enveloped the surrounding area, making it impossible to see through with the naked eye.
After a while, the dense cold mist formed by the white air-conditioning gradually dispersed, revealing the figure of Raizo lying quietly in it.
At this time, his body was covered with frost, like a lifelike ice sculpture.
If it weren't for the strong vitality sprouting in the other person's body, Yayoi would have thought that Raizo had quietly passed away in his years-long slumber.
However, that was just an illusion after all. As the cabin door opened, the cold air continued to escape outwards. Raizo, whose body was covered with white frost, naturally let his palm hang down by his side. He twitched without any warning, shaking off a layer of frost on his arm.
Immediately, Raizo's entire body began to tremble, large swaths of frost and snow rolled to the side, and a pair of eyes suddenly opened, their gazes as sharp as blades, revealing a heart-stopping edge.
Moreover, his eyes were different from the turbidity in the past. They were now extremely clear and bright, without the decayed air of old age.
It's just that there's a bit of confusion in these sharp eyes.
Because he slept for too long at Hibernation Pod, and his body was in a frozen state for several years, his brain seemed to be significantly lagging and went blank.
Not only do you feel ignorant about your current situation, you may even have forgotten who you are.
Fortunately, this state did not last long. A large number of dust-sealed memories slowly filled his mind. In his sharp eyes, the confusion gradually faded away, and he gradually recalled his past and identity.
Snap.
Snap.
Raizo sat up from the cold Hibernation Pod, his body that had been stiff for a long time suddenly moved, and his whole body made crisp sounds.
He lowered his head, looked at his palms stained with a little frost, and shook them a little to feel his physical condition.
The feeling of weakness caused by old age disappeared from his body at this time, and strength continuously emerged from his body.
This feeling of youthfulness and strength made him feel strange and familiar at the same time, as if time had experienced an astonishing reverse flow in him.
"Now that you wake up, come out."
Yayoi spoke from the side, interrupting Raizo's thoughts.
Raizo turned his head, saw Yayoi and Nene standing aside, and nodded.
"General, Mrs. Nene, how long have you been sleeping?"
Because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was severely hoarse.
"More than five years."
Yayoi gives this number.
Raizo took a deep breath of cold air, his eyes a little dazed.
Five years? Just close your eyes and open them again, and five years have passed?
This number made his concept of time feel a bit vague and unreal for the first time.
Raizo Looking at the strange yet familiar layout of the environment around him, he really didn't expect that he would lie there for so long.
Raizo slowly got out of Hibernation Pod, stood on the ground, and patted away the white frost and snow accumulated on his body. He was now dressed the same as he was a few years ago, with his upper body exposed and a pair of black Samurai trousers underneath.
"General, my body..."
"It doesn't matter, just go and look in the mirror and you will know."
After receiving Yayoi's permission, Raizo came to the floor-length mirror not far away and couldn't wait to look at himself in the mirror.
At this time, the withered and sparse silver-white hair hanging on his head was no longer the same, and his long hair became thick and black.
Although the wrinkles on the face are still there, the marks are obviously not that obvious.
The same goes for the body. The muscles that were originally loose now become firm and strong.
The way he looks now, he is at least twenty years younger and has returned to his prime in his forties.
Raizo looked at himself in the mirror in amazement. This method of reversing time and restoring youth is simply a miracle like a god.
And it's not just as simple as getting younger. Raizo subconsciously touched his chest and felt the powerful heart that was constantly beating there. It seemed like a steady stream of energy burst out from here, filling his limbs and bones.
It was this inexplicable force that caused his body to reverse the flow of time and return to the peak of his prime.
Now he can easily defeat his former self.
"How does it feel?"
Yayoi asked Raizo how he felt.
Just as Raizo is feeling his new body, Yayoi is also carefully observing the changes in Raizo's body.
"Incredible..."
Raizo There are thousands of words that I want to say with emotion, but in the end I only condensed them into these four words and spit them out from my mouth.
Even though he had been in a calm state of mind for many years, he was still inexplicably shocked.
Before he got such results, he actually had some doubts about this kind of experiment and didn't have much expectations.
The reason why he agreed was that, firstly, his body was really unable to support him, and secondly, he thought that even if he unfortunately died during the experiment, for the sake of this matter, he believed that Land of Night would treat Princess Tamaki kindly and let her have a worry-free life.
Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be like this. This feeling of rejuvenation of the body, it would be completely false to say that I am not excited.
Now, he just wants to pick up the sword and find a place to feel his regained peak power!
Yayoi, who originally wanted to give Raizo a full-body examination, saw the unconcealed fighting spirit in Raizo's eyes, so he immediately abandoned his original idea and decided to use another method to obtain Raizo's physical data.
