The hardest part of resurrection is how to summon a person's soul from the Pure Land to the living world; now, Edo Tensei has already overcome this difficulty.
The remaining part of resurrection is finding a body capable of containing the soul.
That's not hard!
Tobirama stroked his chin, wanting to experiment, but with Orochimaru by his side, if the latter found out, he would surely claim it for himself.
Tobirama could only wait for a time when Orochimaru wasn't paying attention to conduct the experiment.
The prerequisite was that he had to first master the Spirit Transformation Technique.
The Spirit Transformation Technique was a secret art of Dan's clan; after Dan's clan joined Konoha, this Forbidden Jutsu was recorded in the scroll of seals.
The scroll of seals contains many Forbidden Jutsu; it was impossible for Tobirama to learn them all, as he didn't have that much time and energy.
It was only now that Tobirama realized the miraculous nature of Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique.
However, the Spirit Transformation Technique is a Forbidden Jutsu; from the Sengoku era until now, only Dan has mastered it in his clan.
But Tobirama's talent for techniques is top-tier; any technique he develops casually becomes a Forbidden Jutsu.
The Spirit Transformation Technique is very difficult for ordinary people, but it's nothing to Tobirama; however, the sealing scroll is not in his hands.
He would have to find an opportunity to ask Dan for it.
Tagorihime deactivated her invisibility and appeared before Orochimaru's trio, praising Dan: "Who is that person? To be able to convert all his chakra into a soul and move freely!"
Tobirama crossed his arms, his phoenix eyes looking at Tagorihime very seriously, unlike Orochimaru's respectful manner.
Tobirama is from the Shikkotsu Forest side, and he knows that the Snake Sages of Ryūchi Cave are a bunch of demons who view humans as food.
Naturally, he wouldn't give them a friendly look.
If it weren't for prioritizing Madara's overall situation, Tobirama would have already used Flying Thunder God to eliminate Tagorihime, this snake demon.
Orochimaru responded to Tagorihime: "Lady Tagori, this is a former Shinobi of our Konoha Shinobi Village—Kato Dan!"
Tagorihime nodded: "He is a genius; it's a pity he died so young!"
Orochimaru chuckled: "Yes, geniuses often don't live long, because even the heavens are jealous of their talent."
Orochimaru looked at Tobirama and Kagami beside him; both were geniuses. Tobirama lived a bit longer, though he didn't look old.
But he was already a man nearly 50 years old.
While Kagami was only in his 20s, dying in the prime of his youth!
"Kagami-senpai, Lord Second Hokage, having awakened from your slumber, do you not long for the mortal world? As long as you can help me, I will surely grant you new life in the future."
Tobirama looked coldly at Orochimaru: "Longing for the mortal world? We were sleeping peacefully in the Pure Land; it was you who disturbed our peace."
"Orochimaru, you don't actually think our awakening is a happy thing, do you?"
"..."
Orochimaru stopped speaking and laughed awkwardly twice: "Sorry, sorry, I misspoke. Let's not waste any more time."
"Let's go stop that brat Ryou from becoming an immortal! If he becomes one, we're all finished!"
Tagorihime said: "Let's go, I'll take you to Ichikishimahime's trial grounds!"
Everyone followed Tagorihime.
Kagami looked at Orochimaru; he actually wanted to say he did have some lingering attachments to the world of the living.
Being able to see his grandson made Kagami somewhat happy, but hearing that his son was bedridden and had become a cripple added a layer of worry.
Kagami said to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, have you seen my son?"
Orochimaru turned around, looking at Kagami with a slight smile.
First a sinister grin, then shifting to a very concerned attitude regarding Shisui:
"I know of him; he's Shisui's father. He lost a leg in the Second War and has been bedridden ever since."
"Alas... the pitiful one isn't him, but Shisui."
"With his mother having to care for his disabled father, Shisui had to become a Shinobi at a young age to take on missions and support the family; such a child never had a complete childhood."
Kagami looked at Orochimaru and said: "Orochimaru, can you help fix his leg? I've heard from the Uchiha people that White Zetsu cells have a high compatibility with ordinary human cells."
"White Zetsu cells can be used to create artificial organs! My Sharingan can see it; your body contains White Zetsu cells, Orochimaru."
Kagami had heard from the Uchiha Police Force that White Zetsu cells could create artificial organs and reduce disabilities.
The high-level officials of the Police Force were also trying to find ways to contact the Senju Clan, hoping to obtain artificial organs cultivated from White Zetsu cells to reduce disabilities within the clan.
The Uchiha Clan had sent elites to participate in past wars; as long as there is war, there will be deaths, and where there are deaths, there are injuries.
In cold weapon combat, getting wounded often meant losing a limb or two.
Shisui himself also wanted to use his military merits to exchange for White Zetsu organs so his father could be free from his disability.
But the Senju Clan members said that White Zetsu cells were still in the experimental phase, and it would take time to see actual White Zetsu organs.
After getting close to Orochimaru, Kagami's Sharingan ability to see chakra flow allowed him to see Orochimaru's chakra.
It was a green chakra, full of vitality.
If Kagami wasn't mistaken, that was the White Zetsu cells.
Orochimaru nodded to Kagami: "Indeed, I do have White Zetsu cells in my body. These cells can create artificial organs with a compatibility rate of over 90%, and for the Uchiha Clan, it can reach 100%."
"Because the Uchiha Clan is a Yin Release family; Yin and Yang complement each other!"
"However, everyone is anxious to use White Zetsu cells—the Hokage needs them, the Anbu needs them, the Medical Department needs them..."
"Why should they be given to a useless person first?"
Orochimaru was very blunt with Kagami, but Kagami didn't show any offense.
Kagami pleaded: "Orochimaru, help my son, and I can follow your orders."
Orochimaru smiled: "How can you call them orders? You are my senior; I'm just asking you to do some things to protect the Village."
Kagami nodded: "Whatever you say goes!"
"..."
Tobirama watched from the side without saying a word.
This was exactly why he said it wasn't a good thing for the dead to wake up.
Seeing one's loved ones is a very happy thing, but seeing them not doing well makes it impossible to find peace.
Just like Tobirama, who was still worried about whether Madara wanted to sacrifice Tsunade to let Ryou awaken his eyes?
What exactly is the best state of mind?
To live in a beautiful dream from which one never wakes for a lifetime?
No, human desires climb as they are continuously satisfied; thus, the wealthier and more powerful people become, the more perverse they get.
Because simple desires can no longer satisfy their empty hearts.
The best state is to die—no dreams, no thinking, like being powered off and shut down.
Away from all troubles, cutting off all desires, no internal conflict, no longing.
That is the meaning of death.
