Living Corpse Reincarnation

As the days passed, Kenichi Amamiya continued maintaining a good relationship with Kakashi, and he had also successfully mastered Chidori.

Faced with Kenichi Amamiya's deliberate efforts to maintain a good relationship with him, Kakashi became slightly less gloomy as well.

Everything was going so smoothly. All that was left was for Obito to come Cause Trouble, then release the Nine-Tails to draw the village's attention.

However, just as Kenichi Amamiya was busy preparing for the coming disaster, Orochimaru dragged him into the laboratory.

"Teacher, can I have these test subjects?" Kenichi Amamiya had initially intended to ask what Orochimaru was planning, but the moment he entered the laboratory, he became excited.

Four Konoha ninja—and judging by the looks of it, one Jonin along with his Ninja Squad. These were rare test subjects indeed!

Although Jonin seemed somewhat useless in the later stages, they were fundamentally crucial pillars of a village's Combat Power.

Throughout all of Orochimaru's research during this period, there had been Genin and Chunin from neighboring villages, as well as Konoha Villagers and Genin, but not a single Jonin.

So when he saw a living Jonin, Kenichi Amamiya became extremely excited. This was a Jonin!

"No. This is an exceptionally rare experimental material." Orochimaru rejected him without a second thought. He still had use for this Jonin.

There had been more guards in the village lately. Most people could not tell, but Orochimaru knew. Being able to capture a Ninja Squad led by a Jonin at this particular time was exceedingly rare.

"Then why did you call me here, Teacher?" Kenichi Amamiya found it a little disappointing, but he knew his teacher's temperament. Orochimaru would never call for him without a special reason.

"Didn't you want to see Impure World Reincarnation? I plan to test it now." Orochimaru glanced at his disciple. This disciple had shown great interest in Impure World Reincarnation.

He often came here to ask about it, which had made Orochimaru somewhat irritated. If not for the fact that this disciple was still useful, Orochimaru would have lost his temper long ago.

"Impure World Reincarnation!" Kenichi Amamiya grew excited again. So I can finally change classes into a necromancer?

"Don't get so excited. Observe the experiment properly." Orochimaru looked stern, and Kenichi Amamiya immediately took out paper and pen to record his teacher's actions.

...His teacher pushed in another ordinary Villager, not a ninja. Yet the Impure World Reincarnation still succeeded, and his teacher reincarnated a ninja.

"...Wasn't I still in the Pure Land? What is this?" A rather strange-looking man stared at his hands in surprise. Kenichi Amamiya blinked. He actually knew who this ninja was.

Before the man could notice anything wrong, a kunai plunged into the back of his head. Instantly, the man fell silent.

"Record this: Dan Katō's Impure World Reincarnation was successful." Orochimaru remained calm, but Kenichi Amamiya could tell that his teacher was still somewhat on guard.

Was he wary of the Spirit Transformation Technique? But Dan Katō no longer had a ninja's body, so he probably could not display much power.

Kenichi Amamiya nodded and continued recording, though he had not expected his teacher to have preserved Dan Katō's body tissue.

"Use the Spirit Transformation Technique to kill that bound ninja." Orochimaru issued the command, but Dan Katō did not move at all. The restrained Genin could only stare with terrified, wide-open eyes.

It seemed that the body of an ordinary non-ninja could not allow an Impure World Reincarnation subject to display their own strength.

Without needing his teacher to say anything, Kenichi Amamiya silently recorded this information and continued observing.

"Walk. Squat. Dance." Orochimaru tested several other commands, and all of them could be carried out.

It seemed the control had not failed. There was another reason, and it was highly likely to be what Kenichi Amamiya had thought: a Civilian body could not allow a ninja to use their strength.

Thus, Orochimaru dispelled the Impure World Reincarnation without hesitation, then used a Genin for another attempt. This time, the results were good. Some ordinary ninjutsu could be used.

"Mmph! Mmph!" The subdued Jonin lay on the experimental table, struggling constantly, his eyes bulging as though they were about to pop out.

Kenichi Amamiya felt that if he could, the man would probably pounce on his teacher and bite him to death without hesitation.

Once the ninjutsu was dispelled, the Genin died as well. Orochimaru showed no intention of continuing the experiment. Instead, he sat in a chair with a thoughtful expression, reading the experimental report Kenichi Amamiya had handed him.

Kenichi Amamiya did not disturb his teacher. Looking at the Jonin glaring furiously at him and his teacher, he yawned.

Of the four-person Ninja Squad, one Genin had died, leaving three. One of them was a female ninja, and she was trembling uncontrollably.

Kenichi Amamiya noticed that her pants were wet, and an unpleasant smell drifted over.

"Ninja these days are becoming more and more cowardly." Orochimaru smelled it too. His train of thought had been interrupted, and he was furious, yet he unusually did not lose his temper.

Kenichi Amamiya was somewhat surprised. Whenever his teacher was thinking, he would not even speak, precisely to avoid provoking his teacher's temper.

Yet unexpectedly, this female ninja was not reprimanded.

This made Kenichi Amamiya look at her again, and then he noticed that she was quite pretty. Though she had not fully grown into her looks, she was already the makings of a beauty.

...I remember Teacher using Living Corpse Reincarnation on a beautiful woman. Could it be this one? A thought flashed through Kenichi Amamiya's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her age also matched. By the time his teacher carried out the Konoha Crush Plan in the future, she would probably be about the right age.

This made Kenichi Amamiya study the female ninja again. She truly was quite attractive, delicate and pitiful-looking. Then, he could not help imagining his teacher in her body.

"Damn, that's something else." Kenichi Amamiya smacked his lips.

He remembered that his teacher's Living Corpse Reincarnation only reincarnated the soul while leaving the body unchanged. In other words, after reincarnating, his teacher really could become a woman perfectly.

Moreover, Kenichi Amamiya remembered that his teacher's reincarnation target was someone with an exceptionally high degree of spiritual compatibility. If the Third had not sealed his teacher's hands, perhaps he would not have given up.

Put that way, for a period in the future, his teacher would look like a girl.

I wonder if Teacher gets periods. Kenichi Amamiya pondered.
