Chapter 158 Motivation
"Kid, I don't know what message Orochimaru wants you to take, but no matter what you say, I will not go back to the village with you."
Tsunade crossed her arms and said in an annoyed tone as she watched Jiraiya leave the house with Anko, Shizune and Shisui.
She didn't feel any joy from reuniting after a long separation, but only memories that made her want to escape. Jiraiya and the others had obviously brought back memories that she didn't want to touch.
"Teacher Orochimaru said that he has a way to resurrect Nawaki and Kato Dan!" Lu Ni looked at Tsunade with impatience on her face and relayed the message succinctly.
Tsunade's impatient expression froze on her face for a moment, and her whole body fell into a daze, as if she was bound by a curse.
"Kid!"
Tsunade, who was a little overwhelmed by the shock of this news, suddenly became more aggressive, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Nie became somewhat dangerous.
"what happened?"
Feeling Tsunade's surging momentum, the door was instantly pushed open, and Jiraiya rushed in with some worry, looking at Tsunade and the other person who felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little off.
"Get out!"
Tsunade yelled at Jiraiya who entered the room and waved her fist at him threateningly.
Jiraiya's head shrank when he saw the pink fist, and he immediately pulled Shizune and the others who came in with him and retreated quickly, this time they retreated far away.
"Impure World Reincarnation?" Tsunade looked at Lu Nie with sharp eyes, as if she would punch him in the face if he gave a wrong answer.
Although Tsunade didn't care much about the affairs of the Senju clan, or pay much attention to her second grandfather's messy research, she still browsed the relevant information about the Impure World Reincarnation technique when she sorted out her second grandfather's notes and other collections and handed them over to Kaname and Orochimaru before leaving the village.
She knew that this technique was recorded in the Sealed Book by her Second Grandfather.
"Of course not." Lu Nie shook his head quickly. Although he would definitely dodge if Tsunade punched him, who wants to stand on a pile of rubble for no reason?
"That'd better not be! I will never allow a technique that desecrates the resurrection of the dead!" Tsunade replied firmly.
If it was really necessary, if she had known about this forbidden technique, she would have found ways to learn it.
Although this forbidden technique may be extremely difficult to learn!
Lu Nie raised his hand, "Teacher Orochimaru doesn't think you would choose this method of resurrection. So, do you want to hear about a real resurrection technique that allows the dead to return to the ninja world from the Pure Land?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade did not agree immediately, but hesitated, her face struggling, and some kind of struggle going on in her heart.
Lu Nie did not disturb her by asking any further questions. After he finished speaking, he just stood quietly by the side, waiting for Tsunade to make her decision after struggling.
"Are you sure, this is a true resurrection?"
Tsunade spoke again, as if she had engaged in some intense psychological game, and her spirit was a little depressed. She looked at Luna and confirmed with a hoarse voice as if due to nervousness.
"Yes, a true resurrection!"
Under Tsunade's doubtful and evasive gaze, Lu Ni nodded affirmatively and firmly.
"Does resurrection from the dead really exist in this world?"
After hearing the answer she wanted to hear, Tsunade did not show any surprise at first. Instead, she seemed a little worried and looked a little timid.
She was afraid that this was some trap or plan of Orochimaru. Based on her understanding of Orochimaru, he was someone who could do such a thing when necessary.
"Of course. You must have heard of the Sage of Six Paths, right?"
Seeing Tsunade's inner sensitivity and struggle, Kane simply increased the stakes.
"Of course, he is known as the founder of ninja and chakra. He is a figure that exists in legends."
Tsunade didn't know why Lu Nie suddenly talked about the Sage of Six Paths, but the story about him had already been widely circulated in the ninja world.
"So, you should also know about the Samsara Eye?"
"One of the three great pupil techniques! The eyes of the legendary Six Paths Sage!"
"It has the power of eye techniques to reverse life and death and bring people back to life!" Lu Nie said directly.
"It only exists in legends." Tsunade shook her head.
"In fact, I have seen the Samsara Eye."
At this point, Lu Ni knew that he had to dispel Tsunade's hesitation. It was obvious that she was inclined to see her lover and brother again, but because she cared too much, she might be acting like she was at a loss and wavering like now.
"Have you seen the Rinnegan?" Tsunade grabbed Luna's shoulders in an instant. The strength in her palms was so great that she could knead iron like plasticine.
"In fact, not only I, but Senior Jiraiya also knows! Do you still remember the three children you saw when you left the Land of Rain during the Second Ninja World War?"
Lu Nie calmly output the power of the Static Blood Suit to the maximum and asked back.
"You mean the little girl who can paper escape?"
Tsunade realized her previous gaffe, loosened her grip on Kagawa's shoulders, took a step back, and racked her brains to recall the past.
That memory seemed a bit distant to her, and she had often been in a period of numbness due to gambling and drinking in recent years, so many of her memories were a bit fuzzy.
Even with Lu Nie's hint, she tried her best to recall, but could only think of three children with blurry faces and a fragmented memory. The only thing she remembered was that there was a girl who could use paper escape.
"I remember now. Jiraiya also stayed behind and taught them for three years."
Following the branches of memory, Tsunade recalled more, and the vague memories suddenly became a little clearer.
"Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko! These are the three disciples taught by Senior Jiraiya in the Land of Rain. Among them, Nagato is the owner of the Rinnegan. You can verify this with Senior Jiraiya later. I believe that with your understanding of him, you will definitely be able to tell whether he is lying or not."
Lu Nie directly pointed out Nagato's existence.
When Tsunade heard what Lunai said, she believed it for a while. Even if Lunai and Jiraiya had colluded, she could indeed tell whether Jiraiya was lying or not. After all, as partners who had fought side by side, they had a tacit understanding and understanding of each other's habits and psychology. "Are you going to let that Nagato use the Samsara Eye to revive Dan and Nawaki?" Tsunade thought she had guessed Orochimaru's plan, but she frowned and said, "What is the price for a technique like this? If there is no price, then wouldn't he be able to revive all the dead ancestors in the ninja world? If so, the ninja world would have been in chaos long ago!"
"This is a dojutsu that can be used by a person only once, and the price is one's own life." Lu Nie did not explain to Tsunade the issues related to Nagato, Uzumaki and the Rinnegan, but just answered her questions one by one.
The light in Tsunade's eyes dimmed immediately. She struggled, but shook her head: "Although I have no relationship with that Nagato, I'm afraid that Nawaki will feel guilty about this price..."
"I mentioned the Rinnegan only to tell Tsunade-sensei that there is hope for resurrection in the ninja world.
Moreover, if Nagato is asked to sacrifice himself to revive Dan and Nawaki, Senior Jiraiya will probably refuse it immediately. He regards Nagato as a candidate for the child of destiny who can change the ninja world and bring peace to the ninja world. Senior Jiraiya cannot accept Nagato's meaningless sacrifice. "
Lu Nie shook his head again.
"Okay, stop trying to be aggressive! Tell me Orochimaru's plan!" Tsunade frowned and asked decisively.
In the previous question and answer session, she had already made up her mind. If Orochimaru could come up with a plan that could convince her, no matter what Orochimaru needed her to do, she would agree to cooperate with him.
So for the moment she regained her natural decisiveness.
"Use the cell tissues of Rope Tree and Kato Dan-senpai, use biotechnology to clone two unconscious clones, and then use Impure World Reincarnation or other methods to guide the two souls from the Pure Land back to the Ninja World and let them merge with their own clones."
Lu Nie told Orochimaru's plan in a few words.
"It sounds very tempting, but none of these steps are easy to do, right? Are you so sure that you can call the souls of Dan and Nawaki back to the ninja world and have them merge with the clones smoothly?"
Although what Lu Nie said was very simple, Tsunade still deduced the many obstacles that would be faced based on her own experience.
In fact, perhaps Orochimaru was also unsure. If the other party had mastered the correct methods and techniques, given Orochimaru's character, this time when he came to her, it might not just be Lu Ni and Jiraiya who appeared in front of her, but also Rope Tree, or Broken.
Although Tsunade was a little worried about disturbing the deceased's sleep, she couldn't suppress the urge to see her brother and Dan. The longing for the two of them tormented her all the time.
"In fact, Orochimaru and I have already made some progress. I have studied Nagato's Samsara Eye, so I am qualified to draw some conclusions.
The return of the ninja's soul to the Pure Land is related to chakra! The Samsara Eye can reverse life and death because of its control over chakra, or in other words, its high authority over chakra! It touches the barrier between life and death.
There is no need to worry about the maturity of cloning technology. Orochimaru has absolute confidence in this regard. Together with Tsunade, they are able to perfect the clones of Nawaki and Dan to perfection.
The greatest difficulty in resurrection may be in the soul!"
"It seems that Orochimaru and your master and disciple really want to have a big fight."
"So, what Mr. Orochimaru means is that you want to join this research?" Shikagawa invited Tsunade on behalf of Orochimaru.
"I agreed!"
Tsunade nodded without hesitation. Now that she had made the decision, she would not hesitate any longer. By joining this research, she would be able to better observe and grasp the direction of the planned project, as well as whether Orochimaru was deceiving her.
After saying that, she looked at Lu Nie opposite her and his shoulder that she had just grabbed tightly, and said with some regret: "You were just a child back then, I didn't expect that you now have a physique that can withstand my strength."
"Like Sensei Orochimaru, I still value my life." Lu Ni muttered.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved and the atmosphere and relationship had become more harmonious and intimate than before, Lu Nie said softly: "Before, I thought that if Tsunade-sensei accidentally made a mistake, this house and the hotel would be completely destroyed. I didn't expect that she could control her emotions."
"Don't underestimate me!"
Tsunade forced a smile with a bit of embarrassment. If Jiraiya hadn't rushed in worriedly, directing her attention and anger to him, she might have punched the ground and turned the hotel into ruins.
Seeing Lu Nie bring it up at this moment, she naturally didn't want to admit it, so she could only laugh it off and vaguely pass it off.
……
"I've decided. I'll take Shizune and go back to the village with you guys! But the village has no right to control where I want to go or what I want to do!"
Tsunade announced loudly in front of Jiraiya and the others.
Seeing Jiraiya's obviously different spirit and energy, he looked at Kane with a look of astonishment for a moment!
He didn't know what Lu Nie said to Tsunade that could cause Tsunade to suddenly change so much that she even agreed to return to the village.
This made Jiraiya itchy again. He wanted to find out the details of the conversation between the two, but he was afraid of Tsunade's presence. He could only keep winking at Kakui, hoping that he would understand and give him an answer.
"Jiraiya!"
Tsunade's loud shout made Jiraiya, who was making eye contact with Luna, tremble. He thought Tsunade had caught the tacit communication between him and Luna. When he was about to make an excuse, Tsunade's next words made his face instantly serious.
Tsunade said, "I heard that your disciple named Nagato in the Land of Rain is the owner of the Rinnegan?"
Jiraiya looked at Luna in silence, while Luna raised his head and looked at the ceiling, as if there was something so beautiful there that made him obsessed.
Even though his eyes were sore from staring, he still didn't get a response from Luna. On the contrary, Tsunade's face on the other side looked even worse. Jiraiya could only helplessly say, "Luna told you, right?"
"So it's true?" Although she had already agreed to cooperate with Orochimaru, the answer she got from Jiraiya made her more confident in the plan and trust in Orochimaru.
"Yes, but..."
"I know, I won't tell anyone." Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya's unfinished words. She stood up and said, "It just so happens that I'm tired of staying in this country. Let's all rest. We will leave by boat in the morning! Shizune, we will stay in the same room with Anko."
Looking at Tsunade leaving with Shizune and Red Bean, Jiraiya moved his butt towards Lunai.
"What did you tell her?" Jiraiya lowered his voice and asked in Kane's ear.
"You can ask teacher Tsunade yourself, or you can ask teacher Orochimaru when you see him." Lu Ni stood up and made a gesture to see Jiraiya off, looking unhappy.
