Chapter 157 - I Have a Pair of Eyes Here, Want Them?

First Mizukage Yūto and Uchiha Madara, who were known as the 'Three Greats' back then, were successively resurrected.

Although Konan didn't know what these two people were planning.

But Konan was very clear about one thing: with the methods of these two people, it probably wouldn't be long before the entire Ninja World would once again descend into war.

And as a small country's Hidden Rain Village, without the protection of a powerhouse like Nagato, it would probably be like meat on a chopping block, left to be slaughtered by others.

Konan would absolutely not allow the Hidden Rain Village to fall into a bloodbath again.

Uchiha Madara had just killed Nagato, and Konan didn't even have time for revenge, so she naturally wouldn't join Uchiha Madara's side.

As for Yūto, not only did He possess strength not inferior to Uchiha Madara, but behind Him was also the Hidden Mist Village, one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries.

For the Hidden Rain Village, this was far more beneficial than detrimental.

Hearing Konan's words, the originally calm expression on Yūto's face gradually turned into a smile.

Indeed, talking to smart people is really easy.

"The condition Miss Konan mentioned, I am very interested in, and also very satisfied with, however..."

Yūto said softly, looking at Konan with a faint smile.

Hearing Yūto's previous words, Konan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately became nervous again.

"However, regarding this matter, I still want to hear another person's thoughts."

Yūto didn't pay attention to the nervousness on Konan's face; instead, His gaze turned towards the already deceased Nagato.

Konan was startled at first, and then various emotions such as nervousness, excitement, and fear appeared on her face.

Seeing this scene, Yūto couldn't help but twitch His mouth. A woman's face is indeed changeable.

"You mean, you can make Nagato..."

Konan's voice trembled slightly; her originally somewhat stiff tone suddenly softened.

"I just recently obtained a Ninjutsu and was looking for someone to test its effectiveness on. Now it seems there is a good candidate."

Yūto stepped forward, and with a flash, He had already passed Konan and appeared beside Nagato's corpse.

Konan also quickly turned around, looking at Yūto who appeared beside Nagato's corpse, her face full of nervousness.

She wanted to open her mouth to stop Him, but the words caught in her throat, and Konan swallowed them back down, silently watching Yūto's actions.

Yūto lowered His head to examine Nagato, who had His eyes gouged out and was skin and bones, and lightly shook His head.

It must be said, the word 'miserable' is indeed quite appropriate when used to describe Nagato.

Without further ado, Yūto sat cross-legged beside Nagato's corpse, a sharp glint flashed in His eyes, and His hands quickly formed seals.

Forbidden Ninjutsu — Reanimation Jutsu!

Along with the activation of this Ninjutsu, Yūto only felt a special energy slowly disappearing from His body, and at the same time, a sense of weakness, extremely rare for Yūto, surged into His heart.

Is this life force?

As Yūto's life force was gradually transferred into Nagato's body, Nagato, who had completely lost all signs of life, His heart actually began to beat slowly.

Konan suddenly covered her mouth, tears sparkling in her eyes, and an expression of disbelief on her face, watching everything before her.

Konan quickly turned her head to look at Yūto, and just as she was about to say some words of thanks, she suddenly noticed that the life force on Yūto's body was rapidly disappearing in her perception.

And Nagato's life force was also rapidly recovering.

"Is this... a forbidden Ninjutsu that transfers life force?"

Konan's eyes widened, and she also reacted.

This is completely a forbidden Ninjutsu that trades one life for another!

First Mizukage Yūto actually used His own life to save Nagato's life.

Expressions of doubt, confusion, gratitude, and so on, appeared on Konan's face.

"This is really a life-threatening Ninjutsu."

Yūto complained in a somewhat weak voice. This feeling of His body being hollowed out made Yūto's eye twitch uncontrollably.

The stronger a person's power, the stronger their life force is as well. Compared to Chiyo, Yūto's life force completely surpassed hers by several levels.

With the injection of this powerful life force, Nagato's heart not only beat strongly, but His originally emaciated body even began to slowly disappear, returning to a normal state.

As the last surge of life force was injected into Nagato's body, Yūto's life signs rapidly disappeared.

"Cough, cough."

Nagato, who was originally dead, let out a rapid cough, and then He began to gasp for air.

"I'm not dead? And this feeling."

Nagato's voice was filled with surprise, especially the feeling of weakness from overexerting His body due to the Rinnegan, which had actually disappeared.

"Nagato!"

Seeing Nagato resurrected, Konan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At the same time, Konan quickly looked in Yūto's direction, a feeling of guilt couldn't help but rise in her heart.

Just at this moment, Yūto, who was originally dead, suddenly had life signs reappear on His body.

Under Konan's disbelieving gaze, Yūto rubbed His neck, stood up from the ground, and said to Himself:

"It seems that old woman Chiyo didn't lie to me. It's really a miraculous Ninjutsu."

A look of amazement flashed in Yūto's eyes. This Ninjutsu indeed gave Yūto quite a surprise.

However, the 'Reanimation Jutsu' Ninjutsu is not without flaws. That is, the body of the recipient must not have too much damage, and the time of death cannot be too long.

After all, if important organs like the heart are damaged, even if the life force is strong, they simply cannot be revived.

Konan looked at Yūto, who had suddenly come back to life, was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of gratitude appeared on her face.

Although she didn't understand how Yūto managed to ignore this life-for-life Ninjutsu, it was a fact that Nagato had been revived.

In addition, first Uchiha Madara was suddenly resurrected, then the already dead Nagato was resurrected, and now Yūto is resurrected, Konan found herself becoming somewhat numb.

"Thank you for bringing Nagato back to life."

With a solemn expression on her face, Konan bowed deeply to Yūto.

"You don't need to thank me. I have my own purpose for doing things."

Yūto casually waved His hand and said indifferently.

"First Mizukage Yūto? Konan, what happened during this time?"

Nagato's two eye sockets were empty, like two deep bloody holes. He could only sense the positions of Konan and Yūto by the direction the sound came from.

Seeing the blood oozing from Nagato's eye sockets, Konan's heart couldn't help but ache. She took a deep breath and roughly explained what had happened after Nagato's death.

She knew how big of a blow this matter would be to Nagato, but they no longer had a choice.

They were no longer just two lonely orphans. Behind them were the Hidden Rain Village and countless civilians.

These people needed both of them to protect them with their lives.

"God?"

After hearing Konan's words, Nagato gave a bitter smile, His voice filled with self-mockery.

However arrogant Nagato once was, that's how much He was mocking Himself now.

After a while, Nagato, with a pale expression on His face, raised His head and looked in Konan's direction:

"Konan, your choice is correct."

After speaking, Nagato looked over, guided by the direction of Yūto's voice from earlier. His voice was filled with a calmness He had never had before:

"Nagato without the Rinnegan is not much different from a cripple. Mr. Right Dipper resurrecting me has probably caused Mr. Right Dipper unnecessary effort."

Hearing Nagato's words, Yūto smiled lightly and said meaningfully:

"If one becomes strong only because of the Rinnegan, then there is no difference from a cripple. Claiming to be 'God' wasn't just because of those eyes. It would be truly a pity if someone like you were to die. You're probably still unwilling in your heart, aren't you?"

Nagato was silent for a moment, His voice still calm:

"What does unwillingness matter? The current me probably doesn't even have the qualifications to be your opponent in your eyes."

"Indeed, you don't have the qualifications. However, I do have a pair of eyes here that might allow you to touch upon that qualification again."

Yūto's mouth curved slightly as He spoke directly.

A bottle containing two eyes had appeared in Yūto's hand at some point.

Nagato naturally couldn't see what was in Yūto's hand, but Konan beside Him could.

"These eyes are... Uchiha Itachi's!"

Konan couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking at the two eyeballs quietly submerged in some liquid in the bottle, and let out a gasp.
