Chapter 38 - Chapter 38 I Win

Among these, three are not considered true resurrection.

What does "not considered true resurrection" mean?

First type: Edo Tensei.

"That Edo Tensei," Tsunade repeated softly, nodding, "This is a Forbidden Jutsu developed by my great-uncle, meant to be used in conjunction with the Multiplying Explosive Tag Jutsu. Initially, it was used as a puppet technique, with the goal of reducing casualties in war."

"To perform Edo Tensei, one needs certain parts of the deceased as a medium, and a living person as a sacrifice. A summoning jutsu is used to pull the deceased's soul from the Pure Land back to the real world, attaching it to the sacrifice's body and reconstructing the body."

"The resurrected person is controlled by the summoner, their body is immortal and immune to injury, and their Chakra is inexhaustible. It can only be stopped by releasing the Ninjutsu or performing a Sealing Jutsu. (Tsunade's understanding)"

Tsunade was very familiar with this Forbidden Jutsu created by Senju Tobirama. She had tried to learn it before but never succeeded, feeling it might require some special talent.

In fact, Edo Tensei cannot be considered true resurrection because the body is not one's own, there is no consciousness, and there's no need to eat, drink, or excrete. It's more like an intelligently controlled puppet.

If one only wishes to see an old friend, this Ninjutsu is not bad, but as for true resurrection, it is still far from it.

Next, the second type: Izanagi.

"Hey, why not explain Edo Tensei properly first?"

"Like who created it, how to learn it, what its effects are, and so on."

"Perhaps it will be elaborated upon after all methods of resurrection have been discussed?"

The girls were a bit surprised, feeling this was not quite Lin Mo's style.

However, when it came to Izanagi, they found it both unexpected and reasonable.

Lin Mo had already explained very clearly what Izanagi was.

Danzo being able to survive after Mrs. Kushina chopped off his head—wasn't that a form of resurrection?

However, to use this technique, one needed a Sharingan and had to make the hand signs to activate it before dying.

It was said to conceal the fact that one was about to die, but it couldn't truly resurrect a deceased person.

This was not true resurrection at all.

Third type: Six Paths Level Yin-Yang Release.

Six Paths Level Yin-Yang Release was a method Lin Mo had mentioned before, seemingly only achievable by the Otsutsuki Clan.

Obito Uchiha, who later became the Six Paths Sage, as well as Naruto and Sasuke, should also be able to use it.

"Yin-Yang Release..."

On the moon, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's expression was calm.

To her, resurrection was nothing extraordinary.

Not only because she possessed multiple methods to resurrect people, but also because she would not truly die as long as she was not sealed.

However, saying that Six Paths Level Yin-Yang Release is not a true resurrection method is also correct.

The resurrection here is not about bringing back someone who has already died, but rather about resurrecting those who are "destined to die" (like Might Guy) by injecting Six Paths Level Yang Release to repair the body and Six Paths Level Yin Release to stabilize the soul.

This also counts as a type of resurrection.

There are six methods of true resurrection, four of which can resurrect others, and two can only resurrect oneself.

First, let's talk about the methods that can resurrect others. The first type is Living Corpse Reincarnation.

"A Ninjutsu to resurrect oneself?"

In the Hidden Sand Village of the Land of Wind, Temari, who had just received permission from her father to leave the village, frowned slightly.

She felt she had heard this name somewhere before; it seemed to be a Ninjutsu of Sunagakure.

"I guess it's a Forbidden Jutsu, my level isn't high enough to even look at it."

"Besides, it's impossible to just casually resurrect people, otherwise Lady Pakura and my mom would have returned to the world long ago." Temari muttered to herself.

There is also one called Dragon Life Reincarnation.

"Dragon Life Reincarnation?"

In Kusagakure, Karin Uzumaki, wrapped in her quilt, suddenly had her eyes light up.

She had heard this name mentioned by a few Ninja in the village while they were chatting.

This was a special bloodline of the Kusahanaryu in Kusagakure, which offered no personal enhancements, but the user could transfer their "life" to another person through intimate contact, allowing the other person to live while they themselves would die.

Others mentioned this to her, actually envying the special constitution of the Uzumaki Clan, wanting to find some psychological balance.

However, this bloodline had long since disappeared from the history of Kusagakure.

The third type is Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, currently the highest-level resurrection Ninjutsu. After resurrection, the person is exactly as they were when alive, with flesh, blood, and consciousness. It can also be combined with Edo Tensei to summon spirits from the underworld to the living world, achieving mass resurrection. The cost is the life of the caster.

Hiss—!

At this moment, the eyes of everyone who wished for resurrection glowed with fervent light.

Lin Mo said this was the pinnacle of Ninjutsu, and it could truly resurrect people—who wouldn't want it?

The key was that it could also achieve mass resurrection.

This meant that everyone wouldn't have to fight over it; they could unite and work together to bring this jutsu into being.

"We need to find a way to locate others with diary copies, try to befriend them, and cooperate."

Tsunade, Temari, Hinata, and others were all calculating in their minds.

Only Konan didn't think this way.

"He really knows the power of the Rinnegan."

The Rinne Rebirth Jutsu could only be used by the owner of the Rinnegan, and Nagato had never hidden that fact.

If it weren't for the fact that casting the jutsu cost his own life, Nagato would have resurrected Yahiko long ago.

"If he didn't mention the Rinnegan..."

Konan dared not think further.

Nagato proclaimed himself a god, but he was not a true god, otherwise he would have conquered the world long ago.

If too many people knew about the Rinnegan and the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, they might unite against Nagato.

At that time, the Akatsuki Organization would not be able to stop them.

"We cannot relax now."

Konan became more focused.

She feared that Lin Mo would reveal the secret of the Rinnegan the next second.

Fourth type: sage talisman, it's an item that can absorb Natural Energy and resurrect unrotted corpses. It can also be used with Edo Tensei, but one talisman can only save one person.

Another name I've never heard of.

But judging from the name, could it be a talisman made by the Six Paths Sage?

Compared to the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, the advantage is that the caster doesn't have to die, but the disadvantage is that one talisman can only save one life.

"Hagoromo, Hamura!"

In the Shikyū Space (Chamber of the Beginning), Kaguya's eyes flickered.

She had seen this kind of sage talisman.

At that time, she used her Byakugan to make Hamura and Hagoromo fight each other. After Hagoromo killed Hamura, his Rinnegan activated.

Then, Hagoromo used a sage talisman to bring Hamura back to life.

This was the unique secret technique of the toads of Mount Myōboku.

Next, let's talk about Ninjutsu that can only resurrect oneself. The first type: Curse Mark resurrection.

Curse Mark resurrection?

This term was quite unfamiliar to most of the women.

But for Anko Mitarashi and Tsunade, it was all too familiar.

Because this curse mark was a power Orochimaru researched for eternal life.

Did he really succeed?

Alas, it's a pity this jutsu can only be used on oneself.

In fact, this was used by Orochimaru in conjunction with the Living Corpse Incarnation.

Second type: Karma.

Karma?

What is that?

"Karma..."

A cold light flashed in Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's Byakugan.

"Isshiki, if you had played by the rules back then and let me find a suitable Karma vessel before sacrificing it, I wouldn't have had to risk ambushing you?"

"Now, I have won."

The names of the nine resurrection methods appeared one by one.

The girls were incredibly excited, waiting to hear what came next.

They all knew that Lin Mo would use the diary as a notebook, writing everything down.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no update.

Only then did they realize that this inventory had come to an end.

"That's it?"

Tsunade shouted loudly in the forest, scaring the birds away.

How exactly does each resurrection method work?

Where can each resurrection method be found?

Tell us this most crucial information!

Isn't this intentionally making people anxious!?

You annoying man, you learn something and then you start hiding it, not even willing to tell everything yourself!?

"Phew." Konan was both happy and sad.

She was happy that Nagato had escaped a predicament, but sad because she was particularly interested in a few of those jutsu and the sage talisman, still hoping to find a way to resurrect Yahiko.

Yahiko and Nagato pursued their dreams together, and she watched their backs.

Of course, she was also looking for a suitable person to live a peaceful, warm, and conflict-free life with.

Hmm, why did this idea sound so much like that certain self-proclaimed slacker?

"Anyway, once things here are done, I need to hurry to Konoha."

"Only by getting close to him and building a good relationship can I uncover more secrets."

Konan was not the only one with this idea.

The girls hastened their steps towards Konoha.

The girls already in Konoha also began to ponder how to get closer to Lin Mo.

For example, there was a rich woman in a qipao who had just returned home after a mission.

"Lin Mo-sensei also taught me theoretical classes."

"As a graduate, it's okay to occasionally visit the school to see my teacher and give him a few hundred specially made kunai as a gift, right?"

"..."

In the Hokage's Office, Mrs. Kushina barely managed to restrain herself from grabbing Lin Mo's neck to demand an explanation.

She wanted to know the method more than anyone, because she wanted to resurrect herself!

She was impatient and desperately wanted to know the answer immediately.

This feeling of wanting to speak but holding back made her extremely uncomfortable.

This annoying guy had actually learned to create suspense at crucial moments.

Seriously, it was infuriating!

Kushina Uzumaki said to Yūgao Uzuki, "Yūgao, do you have any way to make Lin Mo-kun continue speaking? I'm about to burst, can't we be more proactive?"

Yūgao Uzuki thought to herself:

When did she become an unpaid explainer?

This teammate was too unreliable; she couldn't carry her.

Yūgao Uzuki replied, "Senior, you should answer the Third Hokage's question first, otherwise Lin Mo-kun will think you're acting strangely."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's question hadn't taken long, as Lin Mo's diary only contained a small amount of information and was quickly read.

But Mrs. Kushina's continuous silence was the real problem.

Kushina Uzumaki said helplessly, "Alright."

She decided to endure it for now.

But she was truly indignant and couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Mo.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo was smiling and looking at her.

Their gazes met directly.

Lin Mo adjusted his glasses and asked softly, "Mrs. Kushina, is there something wrong?"

Yūgao Uzuki was speechless: ...I'm really tired, just let it all be destroyed!

"Don't you understand this?"

Mrs. Kushina stared intently at Lin Mo and said seriously, "It means what the Old Man and I are about to discuss, you cannot listen. If you're smart, you'll leave."

After speaking, she waved her hand, a look of impatience on her face.

But in her heart, she was actually relieved.

Kushina Uzumaki asked Yūgao Uzuki, "Yūgao, how was it? I performed well, didn't I?"

Yūgao Uzuki replied, "Using a woman's advantage, quite impressive."

Kushina Uzumaki was puzzled: "Woman's advantage?"

Yūgao Uzuki said, "You're turning the tables."

Kushina Uzumaki laughed: "Haha, that's enough, okay, Kushina~"

The two completed their silent exchange.

Lin Mo looked embarrassed and said apologetically, "I see, I missed the point. I apologize."

"Hey, you're still young, you'll learn eventually." Mrs. Kushina seemed to have a fox tail wagging behind her.

Who else in the entire Ninja World could make this vain transmigrator admit defeat?

Of course, she had to be smug.

Lin Mo nodded seriously: "Indeed, I don't have much experience. I'll have to rely on Sister Kushina for more guidance."

"It's a small matter, I'll teach you properly when I have time." Mrs. Kushina readily agreed, "Learn from me, and you'll definitely improve a lot."

"I believe that the women of the Uzumaki Clan are all extraordinary." Lin Mo nodded firmly.

The surname "Uzumaki" alone indicated that the women of this clan were no ordinary individuals.

Their unusual physical strength and astonishing regenerative abilities alone were enough to impress.

If you added their incredible ability to instantly restore stamina, or unique techniques like the Adamantine Sealing Chains, their power would be absolutely formidable and unbelievable.

She would definitely be able to share some extraordinary experiences.

"Good brother, you're something else." Mrs. Kushina grinned widely.

Yūgao Uzuki, standing by, muttered to herself, wondering if she was overthinking or what, but she always felt there was a hidden meaning in Lin Mo's words.

It sounded like nothing was amiss, but upon closer thought, something felt off.

However, seeing Mrs. Kushina's smug expression, she thought she might be overthinking it.

"Third Hokage-sama, Sister Kushina, I'll be leaving now."

Lin Mo, with his head bowed, slowly walked out of the office under everyone's gaze.

As soon as the door closed, Mrs. Kushina slammed her hand on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk and said lightly, "Old Man, I won't hide it from you. I returned to the Land of Whirlpools to find something related to resurrecting Naruto from the Shinigami's belly."

"I have nothing else here, and I don't need your interference."

"As for that Jiraiya fellow, tell him to stay away from me."

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not surprised at all.

In his opinion, the only reason Mrs. Kushina would leave after just meeting Naruto was Minato Namikaze.

Mrs. Kushina's resurrection indicated that Minato Namikaze also had a chance, just with some limitations.

Now, he had merely confirmed his own thoughts.

"Do whatever you wish." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

Then, he took out a passbook from somewhere and handed it to Mrs. Kushina: "Your and Minato's inheritance from back then. The house was destroyed during the Nine-Tailed attack, but I had it rebuilt later. Someone will take you to see it shortly."

"All the money is in an account opened in Naruto's name. You can withdraw it from any bank in the Land of Fire. I originally planned to give it to him when he grew up."

"As for Ninjutsu, since you've been resurrected, you'll surely want to teach him yourself, so I won't interfere."

"However, as compensation, Naruto can choose any three Forbidden Jutsu from the Scroll of Sealing to learn. What do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had never harbored any desires for the Fourth Hokage's inheritance.
