I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 403 Blood Red Pepper

present.

Uchiha Hikaru pushed aside the testing equipment in front of him, sat up again on the hospital bed, looked at his pale palms, and clenched them a few times: "Speaking of which..."

"My body doesn't seem to have developed much in the past six months?"

That's right.

Bulma closed the tablet and nodded: "Based on the previous examination results, the healing constitution you obtained from Shenron has a certain anti-aging effect, increasing cell count by 30% to 50%. Furthermore, the 'Saiyan constitution' can significantly prolong the possessor's youth, maintaining a youthful appearance..."

"Wow, now that you mention it, I suddenly feel so envious. I wish I had made a wish like you did back then!"

"...There will be an opportunity."

Uchiha scratched his head.

In terms of lifespan, Saiyans aren't actually that much longer than Earthlings, and they're even less comparable to Namekians. After all, the latter are practically immortal, easily living for five hundred years.

However, the Saiyans' ability to maintain their youth is hard not to be attracted to, especially for girls who care about their personal image.

However, if you really want to stay young forever, you don't necessarily have to make a wish.

According to Dr. Brief, the formula for synthesizing the "perfect active substance" has been preliminarily derived. Based on the experimental results, and after several iterations, it is estimated that it will be possible to achieve something similar to that of the Saiyans. At that point, it might even lead the entire human race to achieve a leap in life.

After Uchiha Hikaru came out of the examination room.

Esdeath, Erii, and the others also checked each other's physical condition.

Especially the latter.

During her recent trip to the Dragon Ball world, Erii, with Lu Mingze's help, obtained the White King's legacy. Although most of this power is sealed by the "Eight Gates" and cannot be released for the time being, even a little bit leaking out from the gaps in the formation is enough to give Erii a cleansing and rejuvenating effect.

The literal sense.

Erii used to have a high but unstable bloodline concentration; using her Words of Power a few times could cause her to exhibit dragon-like traits. But now…

In theory, she can transform into a small dragon-human form covered in dragon scales at any time, and can simulate most of the Words of Power with serial numbers below high risk.

However, given Erii's intelligence and temperament, she most likely won't choose to do that.

……

The next morning.

Uchiha Hikaru, along with Bulma, Minato, Naruto, and the others, returned to the Naruto world. Within the Land of Fire, they found a deserted mountain ridge, then took out pre-prepared cell samples and offerings—demon they had captured from the Demon Slayer world—and began unleashing a ninjutsu.

"Summoning Jutsu... Impure World Reincarnation!!"

Accompanied by a hazy glow.

A young woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, with long red hair similar to Erii's, appeared before Uchiha Hikaru and the others on the enormous summoning circle. Then, under everyone's gaze, she slowly opened her eyes.

Because they have just been resurrected.

Kushina's expression was momentarily confused. Her gaze lingered between Uchiha Hikaru, Bulma, Minato, and Naruto for a moment before finally settling on Minato. She opened her mouth uncertainly and asked, "...Minato?"

"it's me."

Minato smiled gently: "Welcome back... Kushina."

The process of "recognizing relatives" is self-explanatory.

Although Kushina has a somewhat impatient personality and is nicknamed "Red Hot Chili Pepper," she is generally a good listener.

Furthermore, both she and Minato Namikaze, before their deaths, extracted a wisp of their chakra and left it in Naruto. Although the original intention of this wisp of chakra was to strengthen the seal of the Nine-Tails, it also "witnessed" Naruto's life to some extent in the form of a fragment of his soul.

Now that Kurama has submitted, there is no longer any need for this wisp of chakra to exist.

So after listening to Minato Namikaze's story...

Kushina with mixed feelings withdrew her chakra, closed her eyes to process it for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were full of tears.

"Naruto... is that you?"

"Mother!"

At this moment, Naruto could no longer contain himself. He rushed over and hugged Kushina, then burst into tears.

After a brief moment of stiffness, the latter embraced her son and gently comforted him.

Minato stood by with a smile, watching the mother and son pour out their hearts to each other, his face showing a complex mix of emotions.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

for a long time.

The mother and son finally calmed down from the excitement of their long-awaited reunion. Kushina finally wiped away her tears, turned her gaze to Uchiha Hikaru and Bulma, walked over, and bowed respectfully.

"You must be Ms. Hikaru? I'm so grateful for your care of Naruto all this time. And Ms. Bulma too..."

Faced with the "Red Hot Chili Pepper's" solemn thanks, Uchiha Hikaru smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, just call me Hikaru. Minato is my friend, and Naruto is like a younger brother to me, so this is nothing. As for you, please don't mind being disturbed from your slumber."

"No, not at all. To be able to see my husband and children again after death is something I never dared to dream of. I should thank you again for this opportunity."

"cough……"

He then exchanged a few more polite words.

Let's get back to the main topic with Minato Namikaze, who started talking about "cloning technology".

Minato Namikaze had spent a long time in the group before he even grasped some of the surface-level details. Given Kushina's level of education during her lifetime, it was naturally unlikely she could fully understand it. However, out of trust in Minato, Kushina didn't question him, but after a moment's thought, gave an affirmative answer:

"If I could... I would be willing to undergo this surgery. Even if I only live for a few more years, it would be fine, as long as I can be with Naruto."

"That's not the case."

Hikaru Uchiha smiled.

Although this is currently only a theoretical assessment, a clone fused with Namekian cells could theoretically live to be at least over a hundred years old. Who knows, even Naruto might not live that long…

soon.

Bulma and Minato, along with Kushina and the others, left the ninja world and headed to Vegapunk's research lab to prepare for his resurrection.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Hikaru went to Otogakure (the Village Hidden in Sound) to inquire about the latest news from Yakushi Nonou and others who were there.

It hadn't been long since she last left. Just a few days at most.

For this reason, there has been no clear news from the Akatsuki organization yet. On the other hand, the Sand Village has caused quite a stir.
