Chapter 716 Seiya: I died, but I was resurrected!

"I am the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, and the person who used the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation to summon your souls back is the current captain of the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU."

It was indeed our fault for disturbing your peace, and I apologize for that in advance.

However, since the death of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Kirigakure has been on a downward spiral. Now, with the entire ninja world in turmoil, Kirigakure truly needs your help.

As Seiya finished speaking, Mei Terumi stepped forward and took the blame upon herself.

As the village's leader, it was her fault for failing to make the village prosperous, and it was also her decision to disturb the peace of the heroes who died for Kirigakure. Therefore, the extremely responsible Mei Terumi felt that her apology was necessary.

"I never expected that the current Mizukage of Kirigakure would be a woman!"

Even if you are the Fifth Mizukage, why should we obey your orders? As you say, we are all long dead, and the current Kirigakure is not the Kirigakure of the past. What reason do we have to risk our lives for you!

Even though they were ninjas from the same village, and the people were already dead, their souls were still being manipulated and used as thugs, Hozuki Mangetsu and the others were still quite unhappy.

"That's right. Since they used such forbidden techniques to manipulate the dead and souls on us, and then asked for our forgiveness and wanted us to risk our lives, this generation's Mizukage, although a woman, is even more ruthless than the Fourth Mizukage."

Compared to other ninja villages, Kirigakure did not have a strong sense of cohesion to begin with.

Because there are many bloodline clans in the ninja village, infighting is common. It is even said that during the high-pressure Chunin Exams, only those who survive the fierce battles can be promoted.

The idea that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist could, like the Leaf Village ninjas, recklessly burn themselves to illuminate their village with the so-called "Will of Fire" is clearly impossible in Kirigakure.

Especially someone like Zabuza Momochi, who had long been utterly disillusioned with the village and even failed to assassinate the Mizukage before defecting, would be a complete joke to ask him to fight for the village now.

"So, as I said before, the reason I'm discussing this with you now is simply because you died for Wuyin. That's why I don't want to strip you of your consciousness and turn you into mere tools. I hope you won't be ungrateful."

"And did we say we'd let you work for nothing? As long as you agree to obey orders, I can not only give you greater power, but even truly resurrect you—it's not impossible!"

Upon hearing the first half of Seiya's sentence, all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei were enraged.

Although Seiya's strength in defeating Zabuza was quite impressive, when have the Seven Ninja Swordsmen ever been provoked like this?
What is a mere captain of the Dark Army? They might not even take the former Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, seriously.

"I admit that you did have some skill when you just showed it, but I've seen plenty of so-called geniuses."

When the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were making their name, you were probably still playing in the mud in that corner, weren't you?

"Resurrect us? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Who do you think you are, some kind of Sage of Six Paths?"

They had heard of the Impure World Reincarnation technique before; it was a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage and used on the battlefield.

The fact that Kirigakure was able to obtain such a forbidden technique from Konoha was indeed impressive, but the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist clearly didn't believe they could actually be resurrected.

"With your seniority, you should have heard of Chiyo from Sunagakure, right?"

"Is that old woman from Sunagakure who likes to use poison and plays with puppetry?" Chiyo, as a renowned figure in the ninja world, had experienced several ninja wars and was also one of the core figures of Sunagakure. Her reputation was no less than that of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Naturally, she was known to Suigetsu Hobuki and the others.

However, they were puzzled as to why Seiya would bring up a completely unrelated person at this time.

"Not long ago, the Fifth Kazekage was kidnapped by an organization and even had his tailed beast extracted, resulting in his death."

Chiyo of Sunagakure ultimately used her self-developed forbidden technique, Reanimation Jutsu, to revive the Fifth Kazekage.

The so-called forbidden technique, Self-Reincarnation, uses one's own chakra as a medium to distribute life force to others, and can even give life to puppets.

And coincidentally, I have an inexhaustible supply of life force. If I could reincarnate, reviving you all would be more than a matter of course.

In No Game No Life, the Tsubasa species has a near-immortal lifespan, and Seiya currently has more life force than he can ever use.

Even if some of it is given away, it will have absolutely no impact on him.

The forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation combined with his own Reincarnation Technique—these two ninjutsu together are practically tailor-made for him.

"What a joke! You're making it sound so real. Let's not even talk about whether such a forbidden technique that can bring someone back from the dead really exists."

Even if it were possible, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself to resurrect us?

Those who have spent years in the ninja world, especially those from Kirigakure, would never believe that ninjas from their own village would sacrifice themselves to revive them.

"That's why I just said I have plenty of vitality. Even if I resurrected all of you, I wouldn't die from it."

Oh right, after talking for so long, I don't think I've introduced myself yet, have I?
Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have indeed been famous for a long time, don't treat me like a newbie. I think I should be from the same generation as some of you, or even earlier.

"Kaguya Seiya, that is my name. Leaving aside the first user of the Ninja Sword, you second-generation users should have heard of this name, right?"

Upon hearing Seiya introduce himself, the more senior members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, such as Kushimaru Kurihara, Yuuto Tsukuno, and Jinpachi Murashi, shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of him.

However, the surname "Kaguya" reminded them of the Kaguya clan in the village.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu, who was younger and a second-generation ninja swordsman, and Momochi Zabuza, were filled with astonishment when they heard Seiya's name.

Zabuza, in particular, felt that Seiya was very familiar with him when he made his move. Now that Seiya had revealed his name, he was surprised to find that the other party was not someone who looked like him, but actually the Kaguya Seiya that he used to know!
"Impossible! The Kaguya Seiya I know should have been dead for many years!"

Seiya was also a Jonin of Kirigakure. Although he was not famous in the entire ninja world, some ninjas from his village, like Ao, knew him, just like Zabuza does now.

Zabuza remembered very clearly that Kaguya Seiya should have died of illness long before he defected from the village.

"Isn't it because I died in the past, but now I'm standing alive in front of you, that proves the truth of what I just said?"
