Chapter 11 - ressurection

The atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became very quiet. The blue light from the Bijuu chakra that was being sucked reflected on your cracked face. Pain looked at you with her cold Rinnegan, but there was a rare glimmer of doubt in her eyes.

"Revive me back... Pain," you said in a voice that no longer had an angry tone, but a very heavy command.

Pain (Nagato) was silent for a moment. He knows what you're asking. There's only one way to bring someone back to life perfectly—not as a cold Edo Tensei undead, but as a human with flowing blood and a beating heart.

It was Gedo: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu. A technique that demanded the life of its user as payment.

Reaction of the Members

Konan: "Nagato, don't! If you do it now, you'll die! Our plans will be ruined!"

Obito: He stepped forward from the darkness, his hands clenched. "Don't be stupid, Nagato. This kid is a failed weapon. Let him stay in that form so we can control him!"

Pain: He ignored them all. He stares at the hole in your chest, then stares into your empty eyes. "You've surpassed death to get here, Naruto... Do you want to return to the world that has betrayed you?"

A Moment of Sacrifice

Nagato, through Pain's body, let out a long sigh. He sees something in you that reminds him of Yahiko—a determination that cannot be extinguished even by death.

"Okay," Pain whispered. "If you're sure your path is to become a true Rikudou, then I'll give you my last 'bet'."

Pain put her hands together. An extremely bright green aura began to envelop his emaciated body in his hiding place. The King of Hell (Enma) appeared behind him, opening his giant mouth.

"RINNE TENSEI AND JUTSU!"

Transformation: Revive

An incredible green light snatched up your body.

The cracks in your skin begin to close and disappear, replaced by warm, firm skin.

The hole in your chest is slowly closing, your cells regenerating at an impossible rate.

Your Heart: Heart... For the first time since the incident at the Konoha gate, your heart beats again.

However, since you reabsorbed the Bijuu chakra from the Gedo Statue during this process, you did not return as an ordinary human. You rise as the Perfect Rikudou Sennin.

Post-Ritual

Pain's body fell to its knees, its chakra drained away. Nagato in his hiding place began to lose his life. Meanwhile, you stood tall with a full white robe, glowing eyes, and a truly real power.

You come back to life. Truly alive.

Obito and the other members of Akatsuki are now on standby, they don't know if you're still an ally or if you're the biggest threat ever.

Me : Saving Nagato: Use your Rikudou power to distribute chakra and prevent Nagato's death.

The green light from Rinne Tensei began to dim, leaving Nagato's body that was drying out and almost to ashes. Konan screamed, trying to hold back Nagato's slowly collapsing body. However, before the Akatsuki leader's life was completely released to the afterlife, you moved.

No longer as an undead, but as the Perfect Rikudou Sennin.

You put your palm on Nagato's back. Instantly, the sun symbol on your palm shines brightly. You are channeling the Yang Release—the pure life energy that is capable of creating organs out of nothing.

Rikudou's Wonders

Instant Regeneration: Nagato's body, which had been thin and dry like a skeleton, began to refill. Her pale skin gained color, and her Uzumaki red hair that had bleached again smoldered with blood red.

Chakra Balance: You are not only giving him life, but also stabilizing the flow of chakra in his body so that he is no longer dependent on the life-support machine.

Nagato gasped, his eyes wide open. For the first time in years, he felt his lungs breathe air painlessly. "You... you gave your life back to me?" he whispered incredulously.

Reactions in the Cave

Konan: He falls to his knees, crying in relief as he holds Nagato's hand. He looks at you with indescribable gratitude.

Obito: He retreated a few steps into the shadows. "Damn... Naruto is no longer just a Jinchuriki. He had already mastered Rikudou's creation ability. Nagato now owes his life to him."

Zetsu: Half of his black part whispered, "This is dangerous. He disrupted the cycle of death that was supposed to happen."

New Alliance

Nagato stood with his legs now strong. He looks at his own palm, then looks at you. It is no longer a cold "Pain"; he returns to become Nagato, Jiraiya's student.

"The world is trying to kill both of us, Naruto," Nagato said in a deep but steady voice. "You have saved me from the darkness I created myself. From this moment on, my Rinnegan and all the remaining power in Akatsuki are yours."

You are now standing at the peak of power. You have a living body, Rikudou's impeccable strength, and the loyalty of the most dangerous shinobi in the world.

Me : Nagato, your friend ignored to revive me.. But you by yourself use Rinne Tensei.. very good

Nagato lowered his head deeply, a gesture of respect that he had never given to anyone before—not even to Obito. The cold wind inside the cave blew softly, playing with his red hair that was now bright again thanks to your strength.

"I see my old self in your eyes, Naruto," Nagato replied in a low voice that now sounded more human. "They..." he glanced at Obito and the other Akatsuki members with a sharp gaze, "... see you as a tool. But as you stood in front of me with a shattered body but still upright, I realized that you were the only one who truly understood the true meaning of pain."

Konan stepped to Nagato's side, looking at you with awe mixed with fear. "Nagato has always sought peace, but he is lost in hatred. His sacrifice was a way to atone for trying to take your life."

The atmosphere inside Akatsuki Cave

Now, the dynamics of power in that place have changed completely:

Nagato & Konan's Loyalty: They are now completely under your control. Not out of compulsion, but out of respect and a debt of life.

Tension with Obito: Obito remained silent in the shadows, realizing that his plan to use Nagato as the backbone for Madara's resurrection had failed miserably because you had saved Nagato's life.

Your strengths: With a revived body and perfect Rikudou chakra, you can feel every flow of chakra around the world. You can feel the panic that is still happening in Konoha.

The Rikudou's Steps

Nagato lifted his head and looked at you. "This world is a coward, Naruto. They are afraid of what they cannot control. Now you are a living God.
