Nawaki: Damn It, Who Stole My Fourth Hokage?

It didn't take much effort.

With his exquisite Chakra manipulation, profound medical skills, and the solid foundation of Ninjutsu he had accumulated over the years, he possessed remarkable talent.

In less than an hour, Rikuto had perfectly mastered this Forbidden Techniques.

This technique uses all of the user's Chakra as a medium to transfer life force to the deceased.

To some extent, One's Own Life Reincarnation is a special kind of Forbidden Techniques.

Because it can be used on both the living and the dead.

When used on living individuals, it can have excellent therapeutic effects.

However, if used on the dead, the caster's Chakra will transform the dead's soul until the caster dies.

"It's not just Chakra that's being lost, but also life force!"

Rikuto's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself, "However, there is indeed room for improvement..."

"Perhaps by combining Senjutsu Chakra, we might be able to revive a long-dead target with minimal cost!"

Ultimately...

He is a user of the Logia Mori- Woods-Woods Fruit.

As an incarnation of the God Tree, he can draw upon the life essence of plants and other creatures from nature, and he has no shortage of vitality and Chakra.

In fact, there's no need to use Spirit Transformation Technique at all.

However, since it involves some taboo areas, we still need to be cautious.

"Ryoma, bring that Shinnō here!"

At Rikuto's command.

Shinnō, the leader of the Village of the Sky Ninja, was brought here.

However, his bald head, white hair, missing teeth, and aged appearance make one wonder.

He might die at any moment.

"It's you?"

Shinnō wearing Chakra shackles.

He looked very weak and was staggering.

Upon seeing Rikuto, his pupils constricted sharply. "Chiya Rikuto?"

"Did you recognize me?"

Looking at the frail and aged Shennong, a far cry from his former youthful Shinnō, Rikuto spoke calmly, "Didn't you once secretly spy on me?"

When he was five years old, he was practicing Medical Ninjutsu in the wild.

With his powerful senses, he often senses that someone is secretly watching him.

I initially thought they were from the Anbu or Root.

But he later discovered that it was actually an old man.

That's the Sky Ninja spy who had been quietly lurking in Konoha, attempting to steal the Sealing Jutsu.

"So you found out about me all along..."

Shinnō was somewhat shocked.

He initially discovered that the other party had an astonishing amount of Chakra and a seemingly special physique, possibly being a descendant of the Senju Clan.

We are also considering whether to use it as a container to seal the "Zero-Tails".

But later they discovered that the Uzumaki Amaru was more suitable as a "container".

Only then did I change my mind.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already discovered him.

"Etc..."

He suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened.

He stared at Rikuto in disbelief. "Wait, aren't you Tsunade's disciple? Why are you with someone from Root...?"

"Because I am the one who controls the Roots behind the scenes!"

Rikuto said indifferently.

A pair of incomparably scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shinnō's pupils constricted instantly, and he was so shocked that he froze in shock.

"I demand that you master this technique!"

With his powerful pupils, he directly controlled Shinnō.

Rikuto threw over the Scroll of Seals of his One's Own Life Reincarnation.

At the same time, he signaled to Aburame Ryoma to release the Chakra shackles from her.

The opponent wasn't particularly strong, but their superb Medical Ninjutsu was no joke.

Mastering this technique isn't a problem; the only issue is a lack of Chakra.

But what he himself has the least to lack is Chakra.

"Yes!"

Shinnō accepted it blankly.

They quickly began researching the One's Own Life Reincarnation.

Rikuto ignored him and left the training room with Aburame Ryoma.

"Tap, tap..."

In the pitch-black passage.

Rikuto led the Aburame Ryoma, turning left and right.

We arrived at a huge laboratory.

Inside the somewhat dimly lit laboratory.

Two enormous glass containers were displayed there.

One, containing an organ that sends chills down your spine.

The other one contained the body of an eight- or nine-year-old child, who was fast asleep there.

The green culture medium was constantly bubbling.

If Tsunade were here, she would probably be too shocked to speak.

Because of the child's appearance, although he looked a little immature.

But her face was exactly the same as her brother who had already died.

A researcher in a white lab coat was there, taking notes.

Upon seeing the Rikuto, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Rikuto!"

"Is there anything unusual about this clone?" Rikuto asked, staring at the naked clone.

"No, all indicators are normal..." The researcher adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "However, although it has life, it has no consciousness whatsoever!"

He didn't understand why the Rikuto wanted to clone such a body.

They even spent a lot of money.

They were allowed to cultivate it for two years.

"That's not something you should worry about!"

Rikuto shrugged.

He stared at the clone, his gaze distant and unsettling.

This was a big gift, or rather a surprise, that he had prepared for Tsunade in private a long time ago.

For Tsunade, Nawaki's death was an unresolved knot in her heart.

She even felt guilty, believing that she, as the older sister, had failed in her duty to take care of her younger brother, which led to his sacrifice.

Even now, she still feels down and melancholy from time to time because she misses her younger brother.

Even when facing his disciples like Shizune and Karin, he tried his best to show a smile.

Sometimes, it's just a forced smile.

Concealing the sadness in her heart.

No matter what, she was his teacher and his woman.

Rikuto still felt sorry for him.

Two years ago.

He had inquired with Shimura Danzō about it.

The death of the Senju Nawaki was indeed inextricably linked to its roots.

It could even be said that it was with the tacit approval of high-ranking figures Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, and led by Shimura Danzō the lead.

At that time, Senju Nawaki, as the grandson of the First Hokage and a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the "Sannin Legendary Sannin," was destined to become the next Hokage once he grew up, thanks to the prestige of the Senju Clan.

This is something that the higher-ups cannot tolerate.

Otherwise, how could the grandson of the First Hokage, the future heir of the Senju Clan, be killed by Explosive Tag, even with Orochimaru, one of the "Sannin"Orochimaru (fortunately), protecting him?

Moreover, their internal organs had been removed.

Can you believe it?

Therefore, he directly instructed Shimura Danzō to trade related technologies with Orochimaru.

Genes were extracted from internal organs collected using Root as "experimental material".

They began secretly cultivating clones of the Senju Nawaki.

Two years later, the clone has been completed.

Although its body was still young, it was smaller than the other person's body before death.

But that doesn't matter; it's already usable.

"By using the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the soul back from the Pure Land, and then combining it with One's Own Life Reincarnation, we should be able to revive him in this body..." Rikuto muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.

The sight caused Aburame Ryoma and the researcher standing nearby to shudder violently.

They were filled with horror, staring blankly at Rikuto.

I couldn't help but swallow hard.

It can truly bring people back to life.

Is this really possible?

"Take him to the training chamber!"

"Yes!!"

Chapter 224 Nawaki: How dare you repair it? Who stole my Fourth?

"Huh? Aren't I dead?"

Late at night.

Inside the Rikuto's training room.

An eight- or nine-year-old child, looking completely bewildered, was scratching his head.

Staring blankly at Rikuto in front of him and behind him, Aburame Ryoma, wearing sunglasses and a high collar, his face obscured, exuding mystery.
