Chapter 233 Reincarnation (Second Update)

"Then take me to find out the truth!"

Sasuke thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

He really wanted to know the whole truth so that he could dispel the confusion in his heart and decide what to do in the future.

As for why Hawking wanted to help him?

He believed that Naruto wanted to persuade him to return to Konoha, just like he had done with Naruto.

Tell me where your brother's body is buried, and we'll take some of his belongings.

Seeing that Sasuke agreed, Hawking wasted no more time. He had Sasuke leave a shadow clone behind to prevent being discovered, and then he Apparated away with Sasuke and disappeared from the spot.

The principle of Impure World Reincarnation is to take the flesh, blood, bones, and other materials from the deceased's body as a medium, then recall the deceased's soul from the world of the dead, and use a living body as a container to temporarily revive it.

The resurrected body retains all of its abilities from its previous life, including the Sharingan and Rinnegan.

It also possesses unlimited chakra, and its body can slowly recover after being destroyed, making it impossible to be killed again.

The downside is that it is countered by sealing techniques, and if the reincarnated object is too powerful, it cannot unleash its full strength from its previous life.

The souls of all four Hokage were sealed inside the stomach of the Shinigami due to the Reaper Death Seal technique.

Therefore, once released, no medium is needed; a living container is prepared, and the body can be directly resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

But Itachi is different. Itachi's soul is currently in the world of the dead. If he wants to be resurrected through Edo Tensei, he must find Itachi's body and obtain a medium.

"How could this happen?"

Sasuke stared at the empty coffin in the Uchiha clan's secret base, the place where the two brothers had fought their final battle, and his pupils contracted sharply.

After absorbing the Mangekyou Sharingan power of his brother Itachi, he buried Itachi here, but now it's empty.

"It seems Kabuto beat us to it."

Hawking wasn't too surprised to see this.

Since Obito and Sasuke said they would soon declare war on the entire ninja world, it's highly likely they're cooperating with Kabuto Yakushi, who has already mastered Sage Mode.

If Black Zetsu hadn't revealed Madara Uchiha's body to Kabuto, and given the precedent of the Konoha incident, Obito might not have made up his mind so soon.

The fact that Kabuto dared to intervene suggests that, under Black Zetsu's guidance, he had likely collected the corpses of most of the well-known ninjas who could be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which would undoubtedly include Itachi Uchiha.

"Damn Kabuto, how dare he touch Itachi's corpse!"

Sasuke had obviously thought of Kabuto Yakushi as well. Putting aside the unexpected case of Stephen Hawking, besides Orochimaru, only Kabuto Yakushi could perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

"What do we do now? Should we grab Dou first?"

"No need. We can't alert them yet. Even without your brother's body, I have my own ways."

Hawking and Sasuke Apparated and disappeared once again. This time, they arrived at the Uzumaki Clan's Enamendo Hall outside Konoha Village, where the masks of the Shinigami were kept.

By simply wearing the Grim Reaper's mask, one can be possessed by the Grim Reaper, who can then cut open the stomach of the four Hokage and release their souls.

"Found it!"

Among the masks, Hawking keenly sensed a special chakra fluctuation within one of them and reached out to take it down.

Before Sasuke could ask, he once again took Sasuke and Apparated to the basement where the Uchiha clan was hiding in Konoha.

"You actually know about this place too."

Sasuke looked at the family stone tablet in front of him with surprise on his face.

This was a secret room known only to the higher-ups of the Uchiha clan. After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, only he and Itachi knew about it.

This secret room has always been hidden in the basement of the Uchiha ancestral home, and can only be opened by a special method of breaking the curse.

"There's no place in Konoha I don't know."

Hawking smiled.

In order to collect ninjutsu, he searched the entire Hidden Leaf Village from top to bottom, not to mention this secret room, he didn't even miss the area a thousand meters underground.

"Don't move. Let me get those guys who're watching you out first."

Obito kept persuading Sasuke to fight for him, but he didn't completely trust Sasuke. So when he helped Sasuke transplant Itachi's eyes, he planted six White Zetsu seeds into Sasuke's body to monitor Sasuke's movements.

Finding these seeds is also simple; just input Sage Chakra into Sasuke's body, and the six White Zetsu seeds will be forced to grow into White Zetsu and be expelled from Sasuke's body.

"Sage Mode".

Instantly switching into Sage Mode, Hawking reached out and patted Sasuke's shoulder, quickly channeling Sage Chakra into Sasuke's body.

In the blink of an eye, six White Zetsu sprouted from Sasuke's body.

"Run!"

After the six White Zetsu appeared, they immediately activated their ability to burrow underground and escape.

The enemy is Hawking; even if all six of them attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for him.

The most important thing now is to hurry back to Black Zetsu and report everything that I saw and heard today.

"They'll all be petrified!"

However, Hawking was not about to let these six White Zetsu escape. He quickly released six full-body binding spells, freezing them in place.

These White Zetsu are the best vessels for the Impure World Reincarnation, so how could he possibly let them escape?

"Alright, Sasuke, I need to borrow one of your Mangekyou Sharingan now. I'll return it to you when I'm done."

"You want my eyes?"

Sasuke shifted his gaze from the White Zetsu and once again wore a puzzled expression.

Hawking explained:

"Although we no longer have Itachi's body, you have absorbed his Mangekyou Sharingan and advanced to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. His eye power is now in your eyes."

"Your eyes can also serve as a medium to bring the itachi's soul back from the Land of the Dead."

"In that case, you can have it."

Sasuke was indeed ruthless to himself; he didn't need Hawking to do anything, he just gouged out one of his own eyes.

He knew very well that it would be easy for Hawking to kill him and take his eyes, so there was no need to go through all this trouble to deceive him.

As long as the truth can be found out, he doesn't care even if Hawking doesn't return his eye after using it.

"Alright, let's begin!"

He floated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, imbued with Itachi's eye power, in the air, placed a White Zetsu immobilized by a binding curse in the center, formed hand seals, and began to perform ninjutsu.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Under the effect of the ninjutsu, a huge rune immediately appeared on the ground, enveloping the White Zetsu.

Then, dust suddenly rose from the ground, engulfing White Zetsu. In the blink of an eye, a black-haired man wearing Akatsuki robes appeared before the two of them. It was Itachi, who had been resurrected using Edo Tensei.

"Here you go."

Upon seeing Itachi appear, Hawking reinserted the eye into Sasuke's eye.

"Wasn't I dead? This is the Impure World Reincarnation technique!"

When Itachi opened his eyes, he looked somewhat confused at first, but he quickly realized that he had been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

When he saw Sasuke ahead, a gentle smile appeared on his face:

"Sasuke, it's you."
