I am Jinshan Youxia

Jiraiya managed to remain calm, while Kakashi had his hands on his headband.

On the other side, Neji, Tenten, and Lee were so excited that they began to refine their chakra in preparation for battle.

Only the two advisors' gazes fell on the inside of Zhang Chengyi's exposed body.

The blood vessels and internal organs were all a pale blue, semi-transparent state with a hint of white. Based on perception, these blood vessels and internal organs were actually composed of materialized chakra, almost like a tailed beast. As for the meridians and other internal structures—

Mitokado Homura glanced at Hyuga Neji, who was visibly shocked after activating his Byakugan. He hadn't just summoned Might Guy's subordinates for the sake of joining in the fun.

In less than a second, a wound that would otherwise leave a normal person's intestines spilling out would heal perfectly.

Zhang Chengyi formed a hand seal and then pressed it onto the fleshy ball.

"Reincarnation, activate!" he announced.

Tsunade looked somewhat surprised. As Chiyo's old rival, she had heard of the forbidden technique 'Self-Reincarnation,' which the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure had secretly developed and then sealed away. Wasn't this technique about exchanging one's life for another to heal someone else?

The essence of self-reincarnation is to exchange special life force for the life force lost by the recipient, repair the body, and bring back the soul. The logic is not difficult for her to understand.

Konoha itself possesses the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, which manipulates life and death, so its understanding and development of life and death is no worse than that of Sunagakure.

The life force conversion technique can only be used to exchange one person for another. It cannot be used in a group to cooperate like the healing and regeneration technique. The amount of life force of an individual is not enough to revive a strong person of the same level, and it is very difficult to revive a weak person.

Moreover, as a sealed forbidden technique, whether the Reincarnation Technique can revive the deceased is unknown. The life force is consumed too much. From a medical point of view, it is extremely difficult to revive a person by exchanging life force. If it were possible to revive, the Fourth Kazekage would not have held a funeral after discovering the body.

To put it bluntly, this technique is generally accepted as a way to heal injuries by sacrificing one's own life. The life force generated is still an irreversible and permanent damage, meaning that each use shortens one's lifespan. In the development of the Reanimation Jutsu in Sunagakure, the few users who learned it all died, and not a single person was resurrected.

If resurrection is possible through a life-for-life exchange, why would Sunagakure need to research new ninjutsu, Magnet Release, or Puppet Technique? They could just specialize in medical ninjutsu.

Even if they can't openly manipulate life and death due to the moral constraints of the ninja world, they can still revive the dead strongmen and turn them into ANBU members. Countless wealthy people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy themselves a second life, so why live a miserable life?

In particular, Chiyo wanted to resurrect two people who had been dead for countless years. If that were possible, the old woman would have done it long ago, not waited until today.

Even if Zhang Chengyi really did use the Reincarnation Technique, which can revive others, isn't it a bit too abstract to use it on a tumor inside the body?

Tsunade was somewhat bewildered. She could see the enormous amount of chakra and the life force in her body tilting, but she couldn't understand it at all.

"Boom~"

After the fleshy ball with the face of Hashirama Senju was infused with terrifying life force, its hands and feet, covered in cellular fluid, first sprang out. Then, the entire fleshy ball began to shrink rapidly, and the face became clearer and clearer. After the surrounding parts shrank, the wet head and neck could be clearly seen, and hair grew out in a few seconds.

It just looked shriveled up, clearly indicating that the cells themselves did not have enough vitality to form a complete body for Hashirama Senju.

This contains the maximum amount of chakra available when the Six Paths are out of existence and the essence of the modifier is absent, as well as the powerful physique of self-healing without seals. Fortunately, Zhang Chengyi's life force has already undergone multiple transformations, otherwise, it is unknown how long it would have taken to output life force to revive Senju Hashirama.

Tsunade trembled as she watched the naked man take shape, her familiar chakra growing stronger with each breath.

This is the First Hokage; if she could be resurrected, her all-in bet would be incredibly profitable.

"It's so annoying."

Zhang Chengyi suddenly spoke, sounding somewhat helpless and annoyed. He truly hadn't expected that reviving Hashirama Senju would be so difficult. Despite having only one cell, he had used the Yin-Yang Release technique combined with the Reanimation Jutsu, a combination that probably only he and the Sage of Six Paths in the entire world could use.

But to his surprise, reviving was extremely difficult. He had been maintaining the output of his life force for nearly five minutes, and only his body had taken shape. His chakra was still increasing, seemingly not reaching its limit at all, and his soul had not returned...

[Damn it, I got swallowed up by the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, damn it!]

However, since the show has already been put on, it's not really appropriate to say now, "Resurrecting Hashirama Senju is too much trouble, give me a monkey instead, no, the Third Hokage."

Even the Third Hokage couldn't do it; he was eaten!

Zhang Chengyi sighed and continued to act as a resurrection coin, outputting life force. He couldn't just leave it running and use the lowest level of intelligence from the white dumpling model to do it. After all, it was a complex ninjutsu that required precise control.

The office was completely silent. Even the two thoughtful consultants had no time to think about anything else. All eyes were on the corpse with its eyes closed, breathing as if it were still alive.

Even someone who doesn't understand the situation can see that this is someone on the Hokage Rock being resurrected.

Time passed slowly, and after a full ten minutes, Zhang Chengyi let go of his hand, shook his head, and said, "What a loss, what a loss."

He wasted more than ten minutes of his time, and he used the Reanimation Jutsu the whole time. Ordinary ninjas could have resurrected dozens of them by then.

Moreover, he used the Yin-Yang Release technique, which is even more precious. It's a technique that can create things out of thin air. Six Paths Naruto could create an eye with a simple touch. He's a little less skilled, but it shouldn't be difficult for him to create one in a few seconds by pressing on it. Just the ability to regenerate severed limbs and reconstruct organs could be exchanged for countless things.

"This is……"

Tsunade asked, her expression unusually revealing nervousness.

This is not a common occurrence for a seasoned gambler.

"The body was fully revived, but the soul was sealed and could not return."

Zhang Chengyi straightened up and said, "Bring the masks from the Uzumaki Namendo outside the village. I'm going to cut open the Grim Reaper's belly to help you complete the final steps in resurrecting Hashirama Senju."

The two advisors exchanged a glance, becoming wary.

Tsunade answered without hesitation, "Kakashi! Jiraiya!"

She's already gone all in once, so she doesn't mind giving a little more trust.

Chapter 480 Resurrection

"I see, I understand now."

Zhang Chengyi quickly flipped through the Book of Seals, casually tossed it back, and picked up a mask to put on.

Thanks to the manga, which clearly depicts Orochimaru's Shinigami mask as the sixth one from the right in the second row, with close-up shots of its appearance, it's hard for him to forget.

Si-hai-wei-mao-xu-zi-you-wu-si

"Snap!" He clasped his hands together, and a figure in white robes, with red horns, a spiky head, and a demonic face, called Death, rose up behind him.

Although it was said to be possession, it never actually entered his body.

Zhang Chengyi felt a little regretful. The effect of the Reaper Death Seal was not very strong to begin with, and it was also a ninjutsu, so it would be ignored by the power of the myriad phenomena of the world. However, the existence of the Shinigami was very interesting. Just like the King of Hell summoned by the Rinnegan and the evil god given to Hidan, they all belonged to the blind spots of the manga.

He thought about it, but acted without the slightest delay. The Grim Reaper swiftly cut open his stomach, and five souls flew out from the ruptured belly. Four of them flew away through the wall, while one landed on the ground inside the body of Hashirama Senju, who had already been dressed by the two advisors.

"Tsk, the vitality and chakra are ridiculously strong. The soul is actually drawn back to the body when it's at its peak..."

Zhang Chengyi skillfully dispelled death; with a swipe of his hand across his abdomen, which was oozing pale blue blood, the wound disappeared.

He still can't quite understand why someone with such abnormal physical abilities as Hashirama Senju could die.

The manga mentions that Tsunade's regenerative abilities in her Creation Regeneration state are almost equivalent to Hashirama Senju's normal regenerative abilities, and it's also said that it can lead to a reduction in cell lifespan.

The First Hokage was born in a chaotic era and fought countless battles with Madara Uchiha. Normally, he should have been worn down and died long ago.

But even though Hashirama Senju died decades ago, his cells are still alive and kicking, invading other cells. How could he be worn down to death?

Just like how the Third Kazekage, who possessed a super ninjutsu that could penetrate anything with sand and iron, died silently, from a manga perspective, it's nice to call it "leaving blanks," but in reality, it's very troublesome to write.

However, in reality, the strength of cells in the Naruto world is probably not related to lifespan at all, otherwise Hashirama Senju's death would be inexplicable.

Individual lifespan: ∞

Zhang Chengyi glanced at his energy body, which had become infinitely long-lived, and didn't bother to think any further. He genuinely didn't think the power system of the Naruto world was of any use to him; he just wanted to have fun. Thinking too much would only give him a headache.

"Well……"

Hashirama Senju woke up very quickly; his soul adapted to his body at a speed that was unlike that of a normal person. Compared to other Jinchūriki who needed several minutes to wake up and whose control over their bodies was delayed for a short time, his adaptability was quite outrageous.

"Oh! It's Tsunade! You've grown up!" he exclaimed, pointing at Tsunade in surprise.

"grandfather……"

Tsunade no longer had the anticipation she had before her resurrection, nor did she have the bravado she had just displayed. After the initial surprise that her grandfather had actually been resurrected, her expression turned somber, and her mind became a jumbled mess.

People who had been dead for decades were so easily resurrected by Zhang Chengyi, but what about the others...?

She has more than one concern.

"The First Hokage-sama!" X2

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu said excitedly.

Appearance and physique can be faked, but before the appearance of White Zetsu, who can mimic other people's chakra, chakra cannot be faked.

In today's turbulent ninja world, the revival of the God of Shinobi, the foundation upon which Konoha Village was founded, is a real reassurance.

Hashirama Senju scratched the back of his head and laughed, "This chakra... you two must be En and Koharu."

"Haha, you guys have gotten so old, just like monkeys."

The First Hokage was indeed quite eccentric when not in combat.

Zhang Chengyi sent most of his consciousness into the illusory world to analyze the Book of Seals, while his remaining consciousness in reality, carrying Shimura Danzo, turned and left.

Anyway, the transaction is over, and whatever happens afterward has nothing to do with him.

Hopefully, Konoha Village can get along well with the resurrected Hashirama Senju.

-----------------

Amegakure Village, at Akatsuki's base.

"Kabuto, go and talk to Sasuke—"

Orochimaru's body suddenly froze, then he looked down at his palm and revealed a cryptic smile.

His hands are back. Although it's hard to understand, it's a good thing that they're back, meaning he's returned to his peak condition.

Ever since Zetsu came to his door and resurrected Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he has been imprisoned in the Land of Rain and has never been able to leave. Zetsu's abilities in reconnaissance and surveillance are too powerful, and without his hands, he has no chance to escape.

If Sasuke hadn't been brought along, he probably wouldn't have been able to accept being imprisoned.

No matter how powerful Madara Uchiha was, it was not a reason for him to submit.

"Lord Orochimaru?"

Kabuto saw Orochimaru looking distracted and asked in confusion, his glasses reflecting the light and obscuring his eyes, which were full of curiosity.

Sasuke Uchiha sat panting on the back of an unconscious ninja in the circular arena, his left arm hanging limply at his sides, the wound on his cheek healing under the influence of chakra.

He looked up at Orochimaru and Kabuto sitting in their seats. Today's taijutsu training was over, and it should be time for treatment, physical examination, and medication again.

Why don't you come down and take him away?

"It's nothing." Orochimaru said with a smile. "Kabuto, I'll leave Sasuke to you for now."

After saying that, he disappeared from his seat.

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, a little puzzled in his mind. Since Orochimaru's hands were sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, he almost never acted alone unless necessary.

Losing both hands would be fatal for a ninja skilled in ninjutsu.

Why did I leave alone today?
