Chapter 432: Resurrection in a Different Sense? Resurrection in the True Sense!
After taking Fūchōin Ryūgetsu under his command, Fujiwara Tetsuya unfroze the ice.
However, the pirates and rogue Ninja frozen in the ice had long since lost all signs of life.
"So, according to our earlier division of tasks, I'll take care of the pirates outside, and the three of you will collect the treasures on the island."
The slaughter on the outskirts continued from deep night until dawn the next day.
Because as soon as Fujiwara Tetsuya decided to eliminate the outer pirates, he completely sank the ships moored along Turtle Head Island's coast... so, only death awaited that group of pirates.
"Um~ Tetsuya-kun, no, Emperor!"
"Since these pirates and rogue Ninja have been killed, why bother disposing of their bodies? In a couple of years, these bodies will just turn into skeletons, right?"
Perhaps influenced by Fūchōin Ryūgetsu's address, or perhaps having personally witnessed Fujiwara Tetsuya's bloodlust... even Kakuzu began to gradually change how he addressed Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Naturally, it's so I can see them again~"
Looking at the confused expressions of Uchiha Mikoto, Kakuzu, and Fūchōin Ryūgetsu, Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled lightly, slowly gazing at the raging fire ahead.
"Kakuzu-san, do you believe in the resurrection of the dead?"
"Resurrection of the dead?"
"Exactly! Resurrection of the dead~"
"In the Ninja World, there truly exists Ninjutsu that can bring the dead back into the world~"
"Gulp~ Emperor, you're not joking with us, are you?"
"How is such a thing possible...?"
"Never mind, since you're so curious, I'll explain it to you properly before this fire completely extinguishes."
"It'll also prevent you from being too surprised if you encounter such things in the future!"
Hearing that Fujiwara Tetsuya was going to talk about the resurrection of the dead, Kakuzu and Fūchōin both perked up their ears, afraid of missing any important details.
"First is the ultimate Forbidden Technique developed by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju of Konoha: Edo Tensei~"
"However, casting Edo Tensei requires a part of the deceased's physical tissue and a living person as a sacrifice to perform the summoning."
"Moreover, the stronger the sacrifice, the stronger the soul summoned from the Pure Land World will be after possession... However, this method of resurrection, while allowing the deceased to retain their memories and some of their power, and also possessing immortal characteristics... still leaves them subservient to the caster after resurrection... In a sense, it's a different kind of resurrection."
"Gulp~ The Second Hokage, huh?"
"He truly is a terrifying individual!"
Upon hearing the name Senju, Kakuzu's expression immediately became unpredictable, perhaps recalling the dark moment he was swatted away by Senju Hashirama.
"Emperor! If it's Ninjutsu, then there should be a way to undo it, right?"
"Fūchōin is right. This kind of BUG-like Ninjutsu naturally has methods to undo it, such as the caster voluntarily releasing it, or forcibly sealing the deceased with Sealing Technique after defeating them, or the deceased's soul transcending and breaking free from the Edo Tensei's restraints... and so on."
Of course, Fujiwara Tetsuya did not mention the last two points.
One is that the Six Paths Sage, who controls the Pure Land World, also possesses the ability to undo Edo Tensei~ The other point is like Uchiha Madara, who also knew Edo Tensei and broke the summoning contract with the caster.
"Additionally, there's Earth Release Reincarnation Technique and Earth Release Creation: Dead Soil~"
"The former requires the deceased's body as a medium, using Earth Release to construct the deceased's body as it was in life. The revived deceased will be identical in appearance, body, and Chakra to how they were in life, capable of exerting all their power from before..."
"But the revived deceased are merely shells without their spirit, just puppets of the caster."
"As for the latter, it is also an ultimate Earth Release resurrection Ninjutsu, but it requires preparing soil filled with cadaveric aura beforehand, and then having the corpses within that soil revive to become the caster's puppets... However, this Ninjutsu has certain limitations: first, the time required to prepare such soil is too long; second, the revived corpses are not like those revived by Edo Tensei and Earth Release Reincarnation Technique, possessing some or all of their former strength, they are just for show; third, the number of corpses contained in the soil determines the upper limit of this Ninjutsu."
"So, Emperor, you burned the bodies of these pirates and rogue Ninja to prevent such things from happening."
At this point, even if Kakuzu was slow, he understood.
The pirates and rogue Ninja who died on Turtle Head Island numbered no less than ten thousand... If left unchecked, in one... or several years, this place would definitely become the 'paradise filled with cadaveric aura' Fujiwara Tetsuya spoke of.
"To be precise, it's to prevent information leakage~"
"These weaklings, I could eliminate them when they were alive, let alone after resurrection?"
"The reason I told you all that is to remind you that if you encounter powerful enemies in the future, either reduce them to ashes, or bring their bodies back to the organization for safekeeping..."
"The Ninja World is vast, yet also small. No one can guarantee whether... you, or I, will encounter Ninja who control such Ninjutsu in the future, as what I've told you may not be everything."
"We understand~ Emperor! We will be careful."
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, Kakuzu and Fūchōin nodded heavily.
"What I just told you were alternative resurrection Ninjutsu!"
"Next, I will tell you about... true resurrection Ninjutsu, Ninjutsu that revives the dead... in the true sense."
"First is Kusagakure Village's inherited Kekkai Genkai: Dragon Life Reincarnation. A Kekkai Genkai user can perform Yang Release Ninjutsu, the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique, sharing their own life with others to revive the dead."
"But... the caster also faces their own death after performing the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique."
"Then, there's Sunagakure Village. Sunagakure Village is also secretly researching a resurrection Ninjutsu called the One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique. The caster can use their own Chakra as a medium to transfer life force to the deceased, and simultaneously, the caster's Chakra will transform into the deceased's soul, thereby achieving true resurrection."
"But this Ninjutsu, like the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique, results in the caster's death~"
"Tetsuya-kun~ Where did you learn so much?"
As she whispered, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Ahem~ Mikoto, I know far more than you imagine. I'll tell you slowly in the future."
"Next, is the legendary supreme Dojutsu, the Forbidden Technique that only Rinnegan wielders can control, Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
"Unlike the Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique and One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique, the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique can revive multiple people at once, and the price is also the caster's life!"
"Furthermore, Mount Myōboku's Sage Talismans also possess this ability... However, information regarding this is rather vague..."
As Fujiwara Tetsuya finished speaking, Kakuzu, Fūchōin Ryūgetsu... and Uchiha Mikoto, who was pressed close to Fujiwara Tetsuya, all fell silent... because the information and secrets Fujiwara Tetsuya had just mentioned had too great an impact on the three of them.
They were absolutely certain that once the information Fujiwara Tetsuya spoke of got out, then... the entire Ninja World would once again be plunged into immense turmoil.
