Welcome Back to Reality, Shimotsuki Kuina

Inside the secluded dojo, Noah Zoro sheathed his sword and sat cross-legged, his face contorted with rage as he faced the wall in a corner.

"I'm sorry, Zoro is a bit too impulsive. I would be very grateful if you could forgive him."

Despite saying that, a hint of horror flashed in Koushirou's eyes.

Without using Haki or any special abilities, he managed to hold Wado Ichimonji of the Great Grade Swords body. What incredible physical prowess that is!

"It's nothing, just a very ferocious sword technique. To reach this level at such a young age, his future is limitless..."

"Speaking of which, I've heard there's an even more talented female swordsman here than this little guy. I wonder where she is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zoro, who was indignant in the corner, looked like a wilted eggplant, his whole body dejected, while Koushirou lowered his eyelids, revealing a deep sense of longing.

"Regarding my daughter, the so-called genius female swordsman Kuina, she unfortunately fell down the stairs a few days ago and has already been buried in the village..."

"That child finally overcame the weakness of female swordsmen, but in the end, alas!"

At this moment, Noah Zoro could no longer suppress his inner impulse. He picked up the Wado Ichimonji and roared at Uchiha Huayue in front of him.

"Hey! You're a swordsman too, right? I saw the sword you were wearing at your waist earlier. I challenge you to a duel!"

"You're strong, aren't you? Whether it's strength, speed, skill, or whatever else, I'm going to become stronger. I'm going to make my name resound throughout heaven and become the strongest swordsman in the world!"

However, Huayue ignored Zoro's provocation and instead said something that shocked everyone present.

"She's just dead. Do I need to resurrect this genius female swordsman?"

"Resurrection?! Resurrecting Kuina? How is that possible? How can the dead be resurrected!"

Snap!

The green tea cup shattered into pieces, Hiyori stared in disbelief at the languid man beside her, as if his words just now were a trivial matter.

"You bastard, there's a limit to jokes! How can the dead possibly come back to life?!"

Enraged, Noah Zoro drew his sword to strike, but a tremendous force pressed down on the hilt of Wado Ichimonji, causing his face to flush red.

"Don't place your shallow knowledge on me, Mr. Koushirou. Have you ever heard of the existence of the Yomi Yomi no Mi)?"

"Those Ability User eat the Yomi Yomi no Mi Revive-Revive Fruit) have the ability to revive after death. You should know what that means. It means that the so-called Yomi truly exists in this world."

"As long as the Yomi exist, it means there is a possibility of the dead being resurrected. I have roughly figured out the underlying logic of this world. Resurrection is not entirely impossible."

The atmosphere turned icy, Noah Zoro stood frozen in place, shaking his head repeatedly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Master, you really want to believe this guy's nonsense? This thing of unknown origin..."

Clang!

The cold, icy blade was aimed at Zoro's throat. Hiyori's face was as cold as frost, and her clear voice was unusually indifferent.

"Little brat, I've tolerated you for a long time. My brother is Uchiha Huayue, the ruler of the New World, a pinnacle existence standing above countless strong individuals. Even the World's Strongest Swordsman wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him."

"Regardless of your longing and promises to your so-called best friends, you have no room for presumption in front of your elder brother!"

Beads of cold sweat rolled down Zoro's face, and his eyes turned red.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I can't see it, I can't see where the attack is coming from at all, why, why is everyone stronger than me, damn it!"

Four Emperors, Uchiha Huayue, the emperor of the New World, an emperor revered and feared by countless pirates!

Unlike Zoro, Koushirou, who deeply understood what this Koushirou represented, remained silent for a long time before finally responding with the grand ceremony of Wano Country.

"Please, please save my daughter, no matter the cost. This is my... my plea as a father. Please!"

"Master!"

Young Zoro didn't understand why his master was being so serious. Huayue's eyes darted around, and after a moment of thought, he nodded gently.

"Okay, I promise, but I need..."

Koushirou, his mind in turmoil, nodded emphatically and, amidst Zoro's bewildered gaze, followed Huayue toward the cemetery.

"You! You know perfectly well that the dead cannot be brought back to life, so why did you lie to Master? Why?!"

"No, my brother would never say such a thing for no reason. He must have a way to resurrect the dead. He is omnipotent!"

Hiyori and deliberately, her tone resolute, and her beautiful eyes revealed unwavering determination.

"No, this guy has gone mad, and the guy over there..."

Unexpectedly, Yamato didn't care at all. Instead, he held his teacup and leisurely sipped his green tea.

"It tastes so good!"

"Damn it, all the people around this guy are weirdos, isn't there a single normal one among them?!"

Just as Zoro was feeling anxious, a familiar figure and Koushirou returned to the reception room, with a white-clad girl in their arms, which made Zoro's pupils tremble.

"Master, you..."

"Alright, please leave for now. I will bring this little girl back to the world of the living from the Yomi..."

"Believe me, you definitely don't want to see this process."

Zoro still wanted to argue, but with a knife to his neck, he had no choice but to obey and leave the room.

"Silence."

Silence Barrier spread, and a miniature Four Violet Flames Formation was set up in the room.

"It's been a long time since I've used this trick. I hope I'm not too rusty. Sage Summoning Jutsu: Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!"

A celestial face appears, and the natural forces connecting the world arrive at the Yomi. Unfurling the scroll of information in its hand, the corpse of Kuina, whose soul had been sculpted into a false one, is gradually covered by the Impure World Reincarnation of the Yomi.

"Phew, it worked! The Soul-Soul Fruit, the Yomi Yomi no Mi, the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, and the Shadow-Shadow Fruit —the underlying logic of the world that I only managed to decipher after gathering all four Devil Fruit related to the soul—can indeed be applied to the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."

The next moment, an ordinary-looking Menos Grande appeared at his feet, and a deep purple Rinnegan gleamed with a unique light in the eye socket on the mask.

"Heretical Path - Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique".

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A stream of emerald green life light surged into the white-clad girl's body, and the false soul covering the original body gradually absorbed the souls scattered in the Yomi.

"Aaaaaah!"

hiss hiss hiss...

Hot blood surged into the cold, hollow body. Huayue smiled and dug out the Rinnegan from the Menos Grande's eye again, carefully placing it into a petri Culture Vessel.

Where am I?

"Welcome back to reality, Miss Shimotsuki Kuina."
