Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

"Keep talking nonsense."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, not believing him at all. "Your twisted logic might fool others, but you're still a long way from fooling me."

On the other side, in a cemetery in Konoha, a gentle breeze stirred, and daisies swayed softly.

Obito Uchiha stood before Rin Nohara's tombstone, with Kakashi Hatake standing silently beside him.

Obito is no longer the impulsive young man he once was. He has a wife and children, and his life can be described as fulfilling.

He came here today only because of the bond between him and Kakashi that transcends life and death.

"Do you want to bring Lin back to life?"

Obito spoke first, his voice deep yet clear.

Kakashi's body stiffened abruptly, his fingers clenched tightly, but he didn't turn around.

Obito didn't care about his reaction. He placed a daisy in front of the tombstone and said slowly, "You know, the Hokage thoroughly studied the ninjutsu of the former Second Mizukage, which included the possibility of reviving his relatives and friends."

While it may not be perfect, it is certainly a method.

I know you like Lin, and Lin liked you back then too, but I was such a clueless kid back then, I didn't notice anything at all.

He paused, a relieved smile playing on his lips: "But the silly boy won't stay silly forever. Now that I have someone I love, I'm willing to let you two be together."

"But this resurrection technique requires too many contribution points, which I can't gather."

Kakashi remained nonchalant, saying casually, "I can donate my Mangekyou Sharingan; it's not of much use to me anyway."

"I refuse."

Without a second thought, Obito spoke up, his tone firm, "The Hokage said that a man may not use his strength easily, but he must never be without strength."

A man without strength is even more laughable than an ordinary ninja, like a mollusk that has lost its spine and can no longer stand up.

Do you want your father, and the Hatake clan, to become a laughingstock?

Kakashi remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, his voice softening slightly: "I appreciate your kindness."

Don't worry, my father is also a top-tier figure in the village.

The merits he has accumulated over the years were all for the sake of the Hatake family.

Anyway, those honors are useless to me, so I'll work hard.

"it is good."

Obito paused for a moment, then smiled slightly.

His desire to help Kakashi is genuine, as is his desire to protect his current happy life, and these two are not contradictory.

Several days later, in front of the root gate.

Kakashi Hatake walked to the door with practiced ease and pushed it open to enter.

The Roots of today is no longer the secret organization filled with darkness and coldness it once was. The gray-black walls are now adorned with pale silver decorations, and the sophisticated instruments placed everywhere give it a cold yet extremely modern mechanical feel.

Those things like "mechanical feel"

New terms like "modernization" initially appeared only in the Naruto Daily, but in a very short time they became popular throughout Konoha and even spread throughout the Land of Fire. Even high-ranking ninjas like Kakashi began to humbly learn these new terms.

Upon entering the Root, Kakashi no longer felt the unfamiliarity and rejection he once had; instead, he felt a sense of security in the modern scientific research environment.

Nowadays, Root is extremely popular in Konoha Village, with a constant stream of visitors. The Root ninjas who used to carry out assassination missions have transformed into service-oriented, explanation-oriented, and research-oriented ninjas, working tirelessly for the research cause of the entire Root organization.

Members of ninja clans such as the Hyuga and Aburame were always by Danzo Shimura's side, assisting him in further developing and expanding the Root organization, which can be considered a good thing for Konoha.

As soon as they entered the core research area of ​​the Root, they heard a series of discussions around them, the voices echoing in the empty room: "What a pity, this improved resurrection technique of Impure World Reincarnation requires far too many contribution points, a full ten billion contribution points."

"This is also the Hokage's consideration, for the sake of Konoha Village, for the Land of Fire, and even for the order of the entire ninja world."

With such a high barrier to entry, the number of people who can be resurrected is naturally small, and they will only gather in a very small area.

"Furthermore, I've heard that even those who are resurrected will retain the age they were at the time of their death and cannot have an infinite lifespan. Otherwise, if everyone could be resurrected and live forever, wouldn't the entire ninja world descend into chaos?"

"The Hokage has considered everything so thoroughly."

"Yes, the Hokage's decision will never be wrong, no matter what."

Exclamations of praise echoed throughout the Root Research Area. Nine out of ten of the exclamations were eulogies to Orochimaru. Everyone genuinely respected and admired the Fifth Hokage, the true legend of Konoha.

Kakashi stood aside, completely agreeing in his heart.

While the Fifth Hokage's strength may not have been at the pinnacle of the ninja world, his vision and strategic thinking were absolutely extraordinary in the history of Konoha's Hokage, perhaps even surpassing the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, by a significant margin.

That vision of putting power into practice on the page of "peace," that foresight that led the ninja world away from endless war and toward stable reproduction, was something that no Hokage had ever possessed.

Even Kakashi, a ninja who frequently leaves Konoha on missions, feels a sense of peace and reassurance upon returning to the village each time he returns, despite the village's dramatic transformation. This is even more true for ordinary merchants traveling to and from Konoha.

Their amazement and shock were several times stronger than those of the Konoha ninjas.

Kakashi quickly approached Yamato, a Jonin from Root, and calmly asked, "How many contribution points do I have now?"

Yamato took Kakashi's identity card, swiped it lightly on the sophisticated instrument in front of him, and the pale blue screen instantly lit up, displaying clear information:

Name: Kakashi Hatake

Strength: Elite Jonin

Origin: Hatake clan

Contribution Points: 134.85 million

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Kakashi calmed himself down.

The resurrection threshold of one billion contribution points is an astronomical figure that is unattainable for ordinary ninjas, but for him, it is not without hope.

He was already a top-tier elite Jonin in Konoha, and now his strength is just approaching the Kage level. As long as he completes a few more S-rank missions, accumulating enough points will not be difficult.

not to mention.

He did not.

His father is still alive.

The great achievements of Hatake Sakumo during the Fourth Shinobi World War were all recorded by the village and have never been forgotten with the passage of time or the development of the village.

This single move greatly enhanced Orochimaru's reputation in the village.

Today it is today.

His reputation in Konoha far surpassed that of the still-living Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The popular support garnered by this political move demonstrates Orochimaru's skill and vision, which far surpasses that of ordinary ninja leaders.
