Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 71 I told you the dead can come back to life
Tsunade thought she had misheard.

"What are you talking about?"

"What I mean is, once you've finished talking, I'm going to use a spell on Lord Kato Dan to revive him, although this is the first time I've used this forbidden technique to revive a dead person."

Kaede Tsukasa thought for a moment and added, "Actually, if you had said fewer words of farewell just now, he wouldn't have died, and I would have been more confident in saving him."

Tsunade's eyes widened, her golden hair disheveled in the rain, her clothes soaked through, looking utterly disheveled: "Are you serious? A jutsu that can revive Dan? Does such a jutsu really exist? Kid, you better not lie to me!"

“Kid… I’m already 17 years old, not a child anymore. It’s really rude of you to use such a word to describe me.”

Kaede Tsukasa shook his head, not paying any attention to Tsunade's loss of composure. After all, anyone who knew of the existence of such a technique would be terrified.

He crouched down, reaching one hand into Kato Dan's empty chest, while simultaneously forming a hand seal to perform the Reincarnation Technique.

This serious gesture truly stunned Tsunade. The proud princess strained her eyes in the pouring rain, afraid of missing a single detail.

The icy rain kept washing over her body, but it was nothing compared to the chill in her heart. However, with Kaede Tsukasa's unusual behavior, Tsunade, who had been feeling hopeless, felt a glimmer of unrealistic hope.

What if? What if... Kaede Tsukasa really has the technique to revive Kato Dan? Reason tells her that it's impossible, but now she has completely lost her reason, only endless despair and loneliness remain.

"So, can you do it? If I hadn't interfered, could you have healed him directly? You can do it, right? You're very good at... wait! You don't actually want to turn the severed corpse into yours—"

"That's not how it is. Lord Kato Dan is someone I respect very much. He once helped me defeat Sandstorm Araki and saved my life. I won't do such a thing to him... I'm going to use a different technique."

Kaede Tsukasa completed the hand seals: "Forbidden Technique: Self-Reincarnation Technique!"

A massive amount of life force surged wildly from Kaedeji's body. It was a life force that could be seen with the naked eye, like green plants in the desert or warm light in the cold winter, continuously flowing into Kato Dan's already lifeless body.

Kaedeji's expression was solemn. To be honest, he really wouldn't have needed to go this far if it were anyone else.

His attempt to revive Kato Dan was driven by a variety of reasons—Kato Dan was a very nice person who could be of some help to Kaede Tsukasa, which was certainly one of the important reasons.

Similarly, spiritualization techniques are one aspect, while experiments using the technique of self-reincarnation to revive the dead are another.

Of course, there's actually one more crucial point...

Kaede looked down at Dan Kato, then looked up at Tsunade. He had a very interesting idea in his mind, and the timing was right. If he did it well, it might have some interesting influence on the direction of the ninja world.

Tsunade, after all, is a pure Senju...

"The technique of self-reincarnation... I've never heard of this technique before."

Tsunade watched expectantly, astonished by the immense life force surging from Kaede Tsukasa's body. In the end, an "unrealistic" desire arose in her heart: she hoped to see Kato Dan come back to life, and she hoped that her lover could stand up and embrace her!

Just like before!
A few seconds later, Kato Dan remained a cold corpse.

"Did it work?" Tsunade asked anxiously, kneeling on the ground. "...Of course not. I was just maintaining the rest of Lord Kato Dan's body. His internal organs are all gone. Before we can fully revive him, we need to fill in the missing organs."

Kaedeji hesitated for a moment, then freed one hand to summon the last remaining zombie that had used its explosive escape ability.

Swish!
A large amount of chakra appeared in his palm. He used the chakra scalpel to cut open the chest of the Explosion Release zombie, pulled out the various internal organs, and forcibly pressed them into Kato Dan's chest.

“The situation is urgent, and I can’t find a more suitable filler, so let’s use the organs of the Explosion Release bloodline ninja from Iwagakure to fill it. If all goes well, perhaps Lord Kato Dan can awaken the Explosion Release bloodline, which will also give him a more powerful body.” Kaede Tsukasa laughed, seemingly without any pressure, and even had the mood to fantasize in front of Tsunade.

"This organ has already begun to rot, this—"

"Don't worry, they can all recover. Just leave it to me."

Kaede Tsukasa smiled and said, "Although I don't have any special talents and the secret techniques I use involve dealing with corpses, which may not be very popular, all my past efforts have been worthwhile if I can do something for a ninja like Lord Kato Dan."

At Kaede's instruction, Tsunade, holding back her tears, quickly arranged the large pile of internal organs and watched as Kaede performed the technique.

"Yes, Lord Kato Dan's spine was also destroyed, and a section needs to be taken from this corpse and reattached."

As a large amount of life force surged in, Kato Dan's long-dormant body was revitalized, the coldness receded, and body temperature returned.

Large amounts of flesh and blood began to proliferate, and the missing bones began to spread.

Until, when Kaede Tsukasa appeared completely exhausted, slumped on the ground panting heavily, his body, which had been much fuller, became thin and bony again.

Kato's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion.

"Am I... already in the Pure Land? But why is there torrential rain here too...?"

"Break!"

Tsunade hugged Kato Dan tightly. This simple act exhausted all her strength. Her mind went blank, and she felt as if the world was unreal.

It's real?! Ouch! It's not an illusion... It's real! Kaede Tsukasa really mastered the resurrection technique and resurrected the dead Kato Dan right before her eyes!!
This kind of thing... is an absolutely divine and forbidden technique!

"I'm still alive?" Kato Dan regained consciousness and felt Tsunade's body temperature in disbelief. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely felt that his physical condition was even better than before he fought Roshi!
With abundant physical strength and energy, he could generate a continuous stream of chakra with the slightest thought, and he had definitely surpassed his peak!
but……

Click!

"Ouch, Tsunade, you broke several of my bones!" Kato Dan cried out instinctively, his voice full of energy, showing no signs of serious injury.

Kaede Tsukasa said weakly, "Don't worry about that. I transferred my life force into your body. The remaining power is enough to heal this injury. However, some bones may be dislocated. It's best to break them and set them again. After all, the situation was urgent just now, and many parts were done rather hastily."
