Ryun Uchiha closed his eyes, then opened them. His two ordinary eyes transformed into three tomoe, then into a six tomoe wheel pattern Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Both of you, my Mangekyō Sharingan is called Revival. Its basic function is healing, but its true ability is resurrection. It can resurrect both of you to your strongest state during life, and also restore any injuries you ever suffered."
"In other words, your ages will return to your prime. You will live a second life. Prepare yourselves mentally. I am about to activate the Mangekyō's ability."
After speaking, the wheel pattern Mangekyō Sharingan in Ryun Uchiha's eyes began to spin. Blood streamed down from both corners of his left eye. An intense burning sensation made him want to blink, but he could not.
Doing so would waste all his previous efforts. So Ryun Uchiha endured the discomfort, forcing his left eye wide open. The flow of blood from his left eye accelerated, a sight that made Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha's hearts pound wildly.
'This is way beyond overloading.' Izuna Uchiha thought with worry. He had never heard of an Uchiha shinobi whose blood kept flowing like this.
Madara Uchiha sighed. This round must have severely damaged Ryun's vitality. His left eye was probably ruined. He shook his head.
A golden light descended from the sky, falling upon Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
The earthly coating on their bodies began to shed, followed by their armor, finally transforming them into two naked young men.
Izuna Uchiha's eyes lit up. He took out a newly bought camera and took a picture of Tobirama Senju. Heh heh, a picture of the Second Hokage with his bird out. Got it.
The First Hokage and the Second Hokage closed their eyes, enjoying the warmth of the moment. When the warmth faded, a gust of wind blew, making both men shiver all over.
Hashirama was fine, but Tobirama's face turned ashen. "Izuna, delete that photo."
"I won't. I absolutely won't. This is the interest for killing me, Second Hokage. You wouldn't want your exposed bird picture to get out, would you?" Izuna Uchiha chuckled. This is something I'll hold over you for a lifetime.
"You. Bastard." As he spoke, he wanted to make a move, but Ryun Uchiha, enduring his weakness, pulled out two ordinary kimonos and threw them over. Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju caught them and put them on.
They didn't have the mind to think about anything else. Both came to Ryun Uchiha's side. Ryun Uchiha thought to himself, 'Transplant the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.' After finishing the thought, he fell into a deep sleep.
Tsunade held Ryun Uchiha, her heart aching, showing no joy at her grandfathers' resurrection.
Hashirama Senju came to Ryun Uchiha's side, grabbed one of his arms, and performed a chakra sensing technique. His pupils constricted in shock. This physique. A Sage Body. And a Sage Body far more powerful than his own.
Tobirama Senju also lifted the eyelid of Ryun Uchiha's left eye and found the pupil had turned white, almost blending with the iris. He shook his head.
Hashirama Senju's mood was heavy. Izuna Uchiha gritted his teeth. Tsunade, unable to bear it any longer, fainted as well. Although she knew blindness was a possibility, when the moment truly arrived, she couldn't hold on.
Hashirama Senju picked up Tsunade. Tobirama picked up Ryun Uchiha. He no longer held any prejudice against the Uchiha at this moment, instead feeling a sense of guilt.
"You coin-throwing mama, you let go..." Izuna hadn't finished saying "let go" when Madara Uchiha stopped him. "Trust Tobirama this time. This is a life-saving grace."
Izuna Uchiha opened his mouth. "Big brother, you big idiot." Then he quickly left. His eyes were red. If his little grandson lost his sight this time, he would gouge out his own eyes and give them to him.
Madara Uchiha had a similar thought, also intending to gouge out his own eyes for Ryun Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha might be cruel to enemies, but they cared deeply for their own family, their blood relatives.
Tobirama Senju's feelings were very complicated. The Uchiha clan, whom he had called inherently evil, had truly resurrected him, and at the cost of one original Mangekyō Sharingan. He couldn't help but feel lost. Had he been wrong?
He looked at Ryun Uchiha held in his hands, his thoughts in turmoil. Then Hashirama Senju spoke. "Tobirama, your attitude towards the Uchiha clan cannot be the same as before."
"I know, big brother. If danger arises, I will stand in front of Ryun Uchiha and die in his place. Perhaps the Uchiha clan is not an inherently evil clan, but a clan of love, a clan that understands what love is better than our Senju clan." Tobirama Senju murmured. His tinted glasses were gone.
From now on, he would protect the Uchiha clan as he would the Senju clan.
The two returned to the clan compound and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Mito Uzumaki's lazy voice came through. Neither of them spoke. Mito Uzumaki was puzzled. She hadn't activated her Divine Mind's Eye because this was inside the village, and her grandson-in-law was the Vice-Hokage. What reason did she have to use it?
Mito Uzumaki got up, holding a bowl of fruit, and opened the main door.
Crack. The sound of the fruit bowl hitting the ground rang out. Mito Uzumaki's pupils constricted. She looked at the two young men in front of her in disbelief, covered her mouth, tears streaming down both sides of her face.
"Hashirama... You..." Mito Uzumaki's voice trembled.
Hashirama looked at Mito Uzumaki with tenderness in his eyes. "Yes, I'm back. And Tobirama too. Thanks to Ryun."
Tobirama also nodded. "Sister-in-law, you and big brother catch up first. I'll take little Tsuna and little Ryun back to a room for treatment."
Saying this, he carried Tsunade with one hand and held Ryun Uchiha under the other arm, walked into the clan compound, and headed towards his room.
Along the way, they encountered some Senju clansmen. They all widened their eyes and knelt on the ground. "Lord Tobirama."
Tobirama Senju only nodded slightly and hurried towards the room. The Senju clansmen were ecstatic. They wanted to inform Lady Mito Uzumaki, only to find the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, also standing there.
They were overjoyed, then slapped themselves, finding it very painful. This was real. So they quickly notified their bloodlines outside to return to the clan. Both leaders of the Senju clan had returned.
Hashirama Senju wasn't overly joyful. Instead, he spoke about what Ryun Uchiha had just done and the price he paid, his mood heavy, without any sign of happiness.
Hearing this, Mito Uzumaki's heart ached too. To think it was Ryun again. He had sacrificed one Mangekyō Sharingan to let Hashirama and Tobirama live a second life. The cost was too painful.
"That child Ryun is good. I am one hundred percent confident having him as our grandson-in-law."
Hashirama Senju murmured, even his eyes now slightly red, tears welling up but not falling.
Mito Uzumaki nodded. "From the very beginning, when he was still a genin, I felt his future achievements would be extraordinary. I never imagined he would accomplish such a great thing today."
"Hashirama, I think we should treat Ryun Uchiha like our own grandson. We must protect him and not let him get hurt again." Mito Uzumaki held Hashirama Senju's hand.
Originally, she had planned to arrange things for her grandson and then go down to keep her husband company in the afterlife. But now that her husband had returned, her previous death wish was reignited with a hope for life.
She wanted to live. Don't be fooled by Mito Uzumaki being nearly 50. Her current physical condition was like a young girl, just turned eighteen.
With Hashirama's return, her chakra became active. Her once somewhat aged face instantly returned to its youthful state.
Do not forget, the Uzumaki clan is very long-lived.
