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

"Transfer your contribution points to me, along with your identity card. Also, bring out your merit certificate; I need it at the Root."

Before it got dark, Kakashi used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly return to the Hatake clan's territory. When he found Hatake Sakumo, he still had that arrogant tone, without the slightest bit of politeness.

This attitude infuriated Hatake Sakumo, who frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you need so many contribution points for? You already have quite a few. How many top-tier ninjutsu and rare resources could you exchange for these merits in Root?"

Faced with his father's questioning, Kakashi, no matter how unwilling he was to explain, knew that these achievements ultimately belonged to Sakumo Hatake, as the rightful owner.

He has the right to know, which is a perfectly legitimate rule everywhere.

Therefore, Kakashi had no choice but to abandon his nonchalant demeanor and honestly reply, "I want to revive Rin."

"Nohara Rin?"

Sakumo Hatake was taken aback, then realized what was happening, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "Is that the little girl who was with you and Obito back then?"

She's a well-behaved and adorable child; turns out she's the girl my son has his eye on.

Upon hearing that it concerned his "daughter-in-law," Hatake Sakumo instantly became interested, staring at Kakashi with curiosity in his eyes and eagerly confirming his suspicions. His previous seriousness was completely gone: "You little rascal, you've finally figured it out."

"It's like the sun has risen in the west; it's unbelievable!"

"Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not."

Kakashi pursed his lips, his expressionless face remaining blank, except for a slight blush at the base of his ears, which broke his aloof demeanor.

"Give."

As the word fell, a silvery-white phantom streaked across the air—it was Hatake Sakumo's identity card and certificate of merit.

Kakashi precisely pinched the item with his index and middle fingers, then used the Body Flicker Technique again to head straight for the Konoha Cemetery.

Night had just fallen, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, making it dim and dark – a truly stormy night.

The cemetery was quiet, with only the soft rustling of the wind through the tombstones. Kakashi stood before Rin Nohara's tombstone, holding an iron shovel, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He slowly raised his hands, clasped them together, and bowed deeply to the tombstone. His voice was low and filled with undisguised guilt and pleading: "Lin, I'm sorry."

To resurrect you, I will ultimately need your remains. I know this is offensive, but I want you to come back to life. Can these things be disregarded?

He muttered to himself for a long time, and finally convinced himself.

He gently shoveled the earth, careful not to disturb the sleeping soul. Before long, he carefully collected Nohara Rin's remains into the spirit scroll.

He dared not look any longer, fearing that the guilt in his heart would overwhelm him and cause him to give up halfway.

In the blink of an eye, Kakashi returned to Root, handed the summoning scroll and related documents to the staff, and watched as the remains were sent to the processing area.

He quickly turned away, not daring to look, for fear that he might soften his heart and do something that would delay the resurrection.

As for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, under the guidance of Konoha's propaganda department, coupled with the longing of countless ninjas and villagers who have lost their loved ones, no one has long since bothered to examine its origins.

That's enough as long as my loved ones can come home.

Moreover, Orochimaru had already developed a brand-new human body construction technology. Using chakra fusion as a catalyst, combined with the original blood cells of the deceased to create a body with a compatibility of up to 99% with the soul summoned from the Pure Land.

It was precisely for this reason that Konoha dared to openly proclaim the "Resurrection Ceremony," and this move added another brilliant chapter to Orochimaru's achievements as Hokage.

Within the core ritual area of ​​the Root, the array had already been set up, and countless researchers and ninjas were on high alert. A large amount of chakra was continuously poured into the array, and a pale purple light shot into the sky. The Impure World Reincarnation technique was officially activated.

The gate to the Pure Land was slowly pushed open, and the soul of the deceased, drawn by the bonds of fate, came through the light curtain and landed steadily in the body that had been prepared in advance, a body exactly like Nohara Rin's.

As the light faded, the array's glow slowly disappeared, and a slender figure slowly opened her eyes. Her eyebrows were curved, and she still looked as gentle and lovely as Kakashi remembered.

Based on the experience of Konoha's resurrection ceremony, those who are successfully resurrected through Edo Tensei will have their memories stuck at the moment of their death, thus allowing them to seamlessly connect with the present world and avoid falling into confusion due to memory gaps.

Kakashi stood not far away, looking at that familiar figure, his fingertips trembling slightly, his eyes surging with ecstasy, excitement, and a hint of barely perceptible unease.

He didn't step forward immediately, but just watched quietly, thinking to himself that the matter of procreation for the Hatake family should ultimately be decided by asking Rin's wishes, and not by him alone.

That would be so unfair to Lin.

Kakashi could never do that, no matter what.

"Kakashi...aren't I already dead?"

Nohara Rin slowly opened her eyes, her vision still a little blurry. The cold white light around her made her frown slightly. The unfamiliar environment made her feel uneasy. Only the familiar figure in front of her became the only comfort in this cold space. However, there seemed to be a bit more vicissitudes in that person's eyes that she could not understand.

"Lin, it's been a long time."

Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingers unconsciously clenched. Although he was already close to reaching the Kage level, his heart was beating as fast as it had been back then, as if nothing had gone far away, still lingering on that smoke-filled battlefield, still lingering on that youthful era that could never be returned to.

Those overwhelming memories surged in like a tidal wave, completely engulfing him, even making his voice slightly hoarse.

Nohara Rin stared at him blankly for a long time before she came to her senses.

Kakashi softly recounted the whole story of his resurrection, from Orochimaru's improved Impure World Reincarnation technique to Konoha's contribution point system, and then to the upheavals that have taken place in the village over the years.

"So I really did go through a whole ordeal... I thought it was Kakashi and Minato who saved me."

Nohara Rin murmured softly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, before she smiled again, still as youthful and radiant as ever, her eyes crinkling, "I really didn't expect the village to have become so amazing."

She didn't complain at all, as if she had just walked a long road and was finally returning home.

"Lin, I'm sorry."

Kakashi suddenly lowered his head, his voice filled with guilt, "I'm so sorry, I couldn't save you."

Nohara Rin gently shook her head, reached out and patted his shoulder, her tone gentle yet firm: "We are ninjas, and we will inevitably encounter such dangers when carrying out missions."

In Konoha Village, how many others have lost their lives besides me?
