The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

"What are your conditions?" Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but ask.

"Simply put, it's about creating memories that are identical to those inside the memory sphere, so that the two don't clash and can be integrated."

Perhaps Orochimaru hadn't explained things clearly, because everyone looked puzzled. Orochimaru thought for a moment and continued:

"Just like when we dream, sometimes we dream about the future. When those things happen later, the brain automatically recalls the previous dream, making it hard to distinguish between reality and dream. What we need to do is create many scenarios that are the same as those in the memory sphere. As long as the similarity between the two is high enough, then the memory sphere can completely merge with Naruto!"

Hearing this, the crowd began to understand! It's like watching a movie; why do we think it's fake? It's because the scenarios, the protagonist's upbringing, the people around them, and their experiences are all different from yours, so you know it's fake.

But if there were a movie where the protagonist's companions were just like you, with similar upbringing and even similar experiences, and they could even predict the future, could you still consider it fake?

Nara Shikaku frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, said, "If that's the case, then should we follow Naruto's growth and let him experience everything he went through before? That's not very realistic! The Fourth Shinobi World War, the deaths of the Third and Fourth Hokage and their wives, Jiraiya's death, the Uchiha rebellion, the Nine-Tails' attack—all of that would have resulted in many deaths. If we follow that standard, we can just go back to the original timeline; we don't need the memory orb at all!"

After a pause, Nara Shikaku continued, "Moreover, even if we were willing to make such a sacrifice, the people in the village wouldn't agree! Not to mention the various countries of the ninja world! After all, the price is just too high, making it simply impossible to implement!"

At this moment, Kabuto stood up, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Just like the Shadow Clone Technique, because their previous memories are the same, even if the shadow clones do different things than the original body, the original body can still digest those memories and make them its own! What we need to do is not to make Naruto relive what he has experienced before, but to recreate those unforgettable memories for Naruto! Let Naruto experience them again!"

Orochimaru continued, picking up where Kabuto left off: "Because they've shared similar experiences, Naruto and the memory orb have something in common. When it's transplanted into Naruto's body, he won't just be watching as an observer; he'll be experiencing it firsthand. This way, the memories in the memory orb will be completely digested by Naruto, becoming his own experience. This will allow Naruto to be resurrected from another perspective!"

P.S.: This chapter was rewritten and revised repeatedly, taking a whole morning to finish. Just like I said before, there will be some live streams in this book, but these are all foreshadowing for Naruto's resurrection!

Chapter 41 The Core of the Book (Part 2) (First Update)

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru continued, "Just like when Sasuke Uchiha betrayed Konoha. In Naruto's memory, the most profound thing wasn't the Uchiha clan massacre. What he remembered most was Sasuke abandoning their bonds, abandoning Team 7 and Konoha, becoming a rogue ninja for power!"

Therefore, when creating this memory, we don't need to emphasize the Uchiha clan massacre, but rather the fact that Uchiha Sasuke betrayed the village. This makes things much simpler; we just need to have Uchiha Sasuke defect at the appropriate time. The reasons can be many: the environment in Konoha is bad, he ran away from home after being scolded by his parents, or he was simply tired of Konoha and wanted some fresh air. Anything believable will work. Of course, the reasons are up to you; I don't care!

Everyone rolled their eyes at Orochimaru. They all knew that Orochimaru was joking. If Sasuke Uchiha really used these reasons to defect, then the Five Kage would be completely unable to hold their heads up in the ninja world. Besides, how low would Naruto's IQ have to be to believe such a reason?

However, after Orochimaru's explanation, everyone finally understood that as long as those unforgettable moments happened at the same time in the future, that would be enough!

For example, the Nine-Tails' attack wouldn't happen since Naruto hadn't been born yet. This way, Minato and Kushina could take care of Naruto normally without making him go through those painful memories!

For example, the main characters involved in the subsequent attacks on Konoha by Sunagakure and Otogakure are all sitting here having a meeting! This makes things even simpler! At that time, the most vivid memories in Naruto's memory sphere were the death of the Third Hokage and Gaara's events! Right now, the Third Hokage is in the meeting room, smoking and listening to Orochimaru, who will kill him in the future, report on his affairs!

When the time comes, just have the two of them act out a scene to make the Third Hokage fake his death. It doesn't matter whether he fell to his death, choked to death while smoking, or accidentally stabbed himself. Naruto will be fighting Gaara at that time and won't know how the Third Hokage died. So the two of you can discuss it and just make sure it matches the result in the memory orb!

Furthermore, Orochimaru stated that it's not necessary to relive all the deeply etched memories within Naruto's memory sphere! Of course, the more shared memories the better, but some that are too difficult to manage can be omitted, such as the Fourth Shinobi World War…

This way, we can eliminate the complicated procedures and only focus on the simple ones! As long as the 'dead' don't reappear before Naruto fully absorbs the memory orb and is resurrected, it's fine. As for whether the others will cooperate? Just look at everyone here now—the Five Kage, the future Five Kage, the mastermind behind Akatsuki, the initiator of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the good guys and the bad guys—they're all here worrying about Naruto's resurrection. You can tell whether they'll cooperate or not…

Furthermore, Naruto has friends all over the ninja world. Refusing? Even your family might look down on you... Besides, these things aren't difficult in themselves. The ninja world owes Naruto more than just a life. Moreover, with Naruto leading the way in the future, they can be much more lenient with the Otsutsuki clan!

"There's another problem. We know some of what Naruto went through, but we didn't grow up with him, so we can't really know the specifics of what he experienced!"

At this moment, Obito Uchiha stepped forward and spoke! Only then did everyone realize that what Obito had just said was indeed related to the problem.

Although he could consult people around him about his experiences, that wouldn't be accurate!

For example, during the battles against Haku and Zabuza in the Land of Waves, Kakashi was fighting Zabuza one-on-one, Sakura was protecting Tazuna, and Sasuke was lying unconscious to the side. Haku wasn't a reborn individual, and as for asking Kurama? Forget it! He still hasn't paid any attention to Minato and his wife… Since those who know won't say, and those who want to say don't know, then there's no way to repeat that scenario!

Furthermore, when Naruto was young, nobody really cared about him... He finally got to school and had Iruka Umino, but Iruka only knew about Naruto's activities there; once he left school, he couldn't guarantee he'd know everything! As for Kakashi Hatake? He even left Naruto's Chunin Exam training to Ebisu, so there was no point in relying on him. Sasuke Uchiha, in the same class, was a bit better; they were rivals, so he knew a little more, but at that time, he was more focused on revenge and improving his strength, so he was unlikely to notice these things, and he even defected later! He probably couldn't be relied on either. As for Sakura Haruno, Kakashi thought about how she was back then and shook his head. If it were Sasuke, he would definitely know a lot. As for Naruto... Hinata Hyuga paid a lot of attention to Naruto, but they weren't in the same class... so it was unlikely she'd gain anything from him! And Kurama... well, like I said, he didn't care about you!

"You can rest assured about that," Orochimaru said, showing he was prepared. "This memory orb can be copied. I've already successfully copied one using the chakra of Kurama, Minato, and Kushina. We can show it to the entire ninja world! And the original can be used to revive Naruto!"

Hearing Orochimaru's words, everyone's last bit of doubt disappeared!

"Furthermore, I also discovered a type of chakra in Naruto's memory sphere that does not belong to Naruto Uzumaki or Kurama. I suspect that someone repaired Naruto's memory sphere. After examining it, I found that this chakra should belong to the Sage of Six Paths!"

Naruto's previous memories were definitely from a first-person perspective, but they were probably altered by the Sage of Six Paths when he traveled here. Now, he sees things from a third-person perspective and can even hear everyone's inner thoughts! This makes it much easier for us to reconstruct the events.”

Orochimaru and Kabuto definitely copied some of the memories, so he had seen some of them. As for the original memories, just think about it and you'll know that since they are Naruto's memories, they must be from Naruto's first-person perspective!

It wasn't surprising to anyone present that the Sage of Six Paths knew about the reborn individuals. The Sage of Six Paths was in charge of monitoring the ninja world, so it would be strange if he didn't know about such a major event!

"Could we make a few more copies? That way we can study them slowly!" Nara Shikaku said after thinking for a moment.

"This won't work. As I just said, there's the Sage of Six Paths' chakra inside. The reason we were able to make a copy was because Naruto's light sphere contained extra Sage of Six Paths chakra! There's no extra left now, so there's no way to make a copy."

Chapter 42 The Core of the Book (Part 2) (Second Update)

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in disappointment, but said nothing. Being able to replicate even one was already a remarkable achievement, and no one dared to ask for more. As long as they made good use of it, one would be enough!

"So, this copy can also be made by simply injecting chakra, right?" Minato asked.

Naruto had explained how to use the original Memory Orb, but Minato wasn't sure if the method for using this copy was the same as the original, so he asked!

"Yes, but it requires Kurama's chakra. Others can't absorb this memory orb," Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.

Minato nodded, then turned and handed the two memory orbs that Orochimaru had given him to Kushina!

Both Naruto and Kurama are inside Kushina, so it's most appropriate to give these two orbs of light to her. Besides, Kushina is quite strong, and the ninja world is so peaceful right now, so there shouldn't be any problems!

If Kushina gets into trouble, Naruto probably won't be able to protect her either, and then the Memory Orb will be useless!

"Then let's discuss when to use this orb!" Nara Shikaku stepped forward and said.

"I suggest we use it after the first Ninja Tournament. That's when the number of people in Konoha, both from our own village and other villages, should be at its peak. That way, we can let more people see it and let them fully understand what's going to happen in the future, so they don't end up not even knowing how they died," Kakashi said.

Obito neither supported nor opposed Kakashi's suggestion. Instead, he stepped forward and asked, "Orochimaru, if this copy has enough chakra, can the entire ninja world see it?"

"That's how it is in theory, but I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know!" Orochimaru replied.

At this moment, Onoki asked, "Isn't there a possibility that the copy might explode due to excessive chakra?"

This is a very important issue. If such a situation were to occur, they would have to be extremely careful in their operations!

"No, you can rest assured. Naruto and Kurama grew up together, their chakra is intertwined, they're practically one. And this memory sphere is Naruto's, so Kurama's chakra can't possibly burst it. Even if the memory sphere can't absorb it, the chakra will only adhere to its surface! That's for sure."

Orochimaru's answer relieved everyone present, meaning they could now use the replica without worry.

"I agree with Kakashi's suggestion; let's use it three days later," Minato stepped forward and said.

Everyone present was intelligent and knew how to maximize the value of this memory orb, so they all agreed with Kakashi's suggestion!

Seeing that no one objected, the matter was settled!

"There's one more thing I hope you can agree to. There might be some disturbance during the playback of this memory sphere. I hope you can all help maintain order and prevent any accidents."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stepped forward to add that what Hiruzen Sarutobi said was an easy matter for the Kage of each village, so none of them objected and they all agreed!

The resurrected individuals from all the ninja worlds took Naruto's resurrection very seriously. Officially, Naruto was crucial to the ninja world's upcoming battle against the Otsutsuki clan. With him, the pressure on the other nations would be significantly reduced. Moreover, given Naruto's character, he would risk his life to protect the ninja world if anything happened!

Personally, some of them are friends with Naruto, some are his relatives, some are people Naruto saved, and some are comrades who have shared life and death with him. Naturally, they would do everything in their power to revive Naruto!

Furthermore, the ninja world owes Naruto a tremendous debt of gratitude. From the Fourth Shinobi World War to the Otsutsuki invasion, he was always there whenever the ninja world was in trouble. In their previous lives, they were unable to repay these debts, but this life is different. Naruto even lost his life for the ninja world, and now is the time when he needs the ninja world's help the most! If they don't help now, or even kick him when he's down, such a person won't be able to survive in the village, let alone have any place in the ninja world!

You have to understand that the fact that the Kage from various countries can sit here and chat peacefully is all thanks to Naruto. If Naruto hadn't given them a second chance, they would still be fighting on the battlefield! They wouldn't be sitting here chatting so calmly now! So even without the Third Hokage's help, if a disturbance occurred, they would all step forward to help on their own!

Afterwards, they discussed many details about playing Naruto's memories after the first Ninja Tournament! They talked from morning till night before everyone finally left.

The next day, Konoha's patrols became noticeably more frequent, and many people from other ninja villages also participated, which greatly surprised those who hadn't been reborn.

It's important to know that the relationship between the five Shadow Villages was extremely tense before. Even when it wasn't wartime, they were always wary of each other. Letting them patrol their own villages like this was simply absurd!

The previous Five Kage Summit was for the purpose of signing a peace agreement. The sudden ceasefire by the five great ninja villages was somewhat unexpected for those who were not reincarnated, but it was also within their expectations. After all, the five great nations had been fighting on and off for many years! It's just that this time the cessation was a bit too quick!

Then they heard that the five great nations were going to hold some kind of ninja tournament! This confused them. You just finished a war! The agreement was only signed a few days ago, and you're already so friendly?

They even joined forces to hold a ninja tournament, so out of curiosity, many people traveled overnight, hoping to see what this so-called ninja tournament jointly hosted by the five great nations was like! But this curiosity was just that—curiosity. They didn't believe that the nations could so quickly put aside their hatred and cooperate so completely!

But now they were stunned to see ninjas from various countries patrolling the streets of Konoha... And look at who these patrolmen are... Bee, Maki, Mei Terumi, Darui, and Kyoto—these are all elite ninjas from their respective countries! Some are even future village leaders... You're just letting them wander around the ninja village? And even let them patrol?

Episode 43: The First Shinobi World Tournament

"The ninja world is becoming more and more incomprehensible! Nations suddenly cease hostilities, ninjas suddenly live in peace, and sides that were originally enemies suddenly reconcile. How long has it been? What about the hatred that the nations of the ninja world had accumulated before? What about the people who died in the first, second, and third Shinobi World Wars? Don't you care about them? What about the families of those who sacrificed themselves? Where are they? Don't you want revenge?"

There are always people who can't stand to see others doing well! Perhaps it has nothing to do with them, and they don't have any conflict of interest with the five major powers, but they just don't want to see the people of the five major powers living together peacefully.

The patrol team certainly wouldn't be polite to these people!

After arresting more than 10 people in one go, these voices trying to sow discord in the ninja world finally quieted down. It wasn't for any other reason than that those who weren't afraid had all been arrested! The rest were all smart people who knew what not to say at this time!

After dealing with these troublemakers, everyone focused their attention on the Ninja Tournament!

This time, the timber industry also sent a lot of people. After all, it was the first time to hold such an event, and it was held in the timber industry. As the saying goes, "Even if you lose, you can't lose face." It was held in their own village, so naturally they had to send a lot of people to participate!

The leader of the genin was Might Guy, and many of the non-reincarnated individuals had objections to this, demanding that Minato replace him. However, most people supported this decision. After all, there were many reincarnated individuals, and many had received information through various channels, so they naturally knew some things. How strong was Might Guy? You could ask the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist he killed! Those who didn't even know this information were clearly not doing well! Minato simply ignored these people!

The leader of the Chunin squad was Obito Uchiha. After this decision was made, Minato faced even more rumors and gossip, with some beginning to doubt his ability to lead! Because at this point in time in this world, Obito's current strength seemed very weak, completely unsuitable for the role of Chunin leader! Similarly, only a few people who weren't reborn were spreading these rumors, while others were very clear about the abilities of these two individuals!

As for the leader of the Jonin team, it was Kakashi. Everyone was much more accepting of this decision! In the eyes of these non-reincarnated individuals, Kakashi was clearly more reliable than the previous two. Although Kakashi was very young, he was still a genius, unlike the previous two who were both losers! And the final leadership was also given to Kakashi.

Minato originally wanted to pass the responsibility to Obito, but Obito feared that Minato's decision would amplify the voices of those who questioned him, thus damaging Minato's reputation! So he refused!

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day of the Ninja World Tournament!

Minato and the other four Kage attached great importance to this Shinobi World Tournament, arriving at the venue very early in the morning. After a formal opening ceremony, the first Shinobi World Tournament officially began.

The Ninja Tournament lasts for three days. The first day is for Genin-level matches.

For genin, the competition format was quite comprehensive. The morning session focused on survival skills, throwing nearly 1000 genin from various countries into the Death Forest. The Death Forest had various point systems, and their task was to earn points through various means. Defeating an enemy earned them the corresponding points. To minimize casualties, Minato stipulated that killing an opponent would only earn one-third of the corresponding points. They were also given signal flares to use in case of danger, but using them would disqualify them.

Nara Shikaku felt that the match schedule was too tight, and he originally hoped that the final would be held on the second day! However, his suggestion was rejected by Minato and the other four Kage!

They knew very well that stamina management was a mandatory course for every ninja, especially in the future, when facing the Otsutsuki! If they couldn't even do this, it would be best for them to remain genin so that they might be able to save their lives in the rear in the future! So they never changed their decision in the end!

In fact, all five Kage knew that if Might Guy successfully advanced to the first round, he would basically be the winner of the Chunin Exams! His strength was enough to directly defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! Looking across the entire ninja world, only a few vassals like Naruto and Sasuke were stronger than him…

As expected, after a grueling morning, Might Guy was among the eight who advanced, a result that didn't surprise anyone.

Besides the eight genin who successfully advanced, there were two from Konoha, two from Iwakage (the Hidden Cloud Village), and the last one from Sunakage!

In the afternoon's individual matches, Might Dai unsurprisingly emerged victorious! He only opened the fifth gate of his Eight Gates technique; basically, you could count on one hand the number of ninjas in the entire ninja world who could stand against him…

The next day was the Chunin Exams, featuring Obito, Guy, and Darui. This time, it was even more direct! 800 Chunin participated, battling it out in the arena. Ultimately, only 8 remained for individual matches. The most anticipated matches were between Guy and Obito; Darui was still a step behind the current level of both...

As expected, Obito displayed extraordinary abilities from the very beginning of the melee. No matter what attacks they launched, they couldn't hit him. Obito easily knocked out several opponents, and seeing his formidable strength, the others stopped provoking him and attacked others instead. Obito, naturally, was happy to relax and watch the show from the sidelines.
