Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 432 Resurrect, My Love

Long Lan's pupils dilated in astonishment as she exclaimed, "What...what nonsense are you spouting?"

Aokiji said calmly, "You probably don't need to tell me the price you need to pay to perform the Dragon Life Reversal Technique."

Long Lan said in a deep voice, "To perform this kind of ninjutsu, one needs very high talent and a bloodline limit. I have not inherited such a bloodline limit."

Aokiji looked incredulous: "Really? You don't know how?"

Long Lan vehemently denied it: "No way."

"Alright then, I think your daughter has quite a talent. She should be able to learn this Dragon Fate Reversal Technique in the future."

Aokiji's expression was helpless, and his soft sigh carried a faint hint of threat.

Long Lan's eyes flickered: "W-what did you say?"

Aokiji threatened and pressured: "To alter a person's memory, especially a child's memory, is not difficult for me."

"Stop! Ryusei has no talent to inherit this kind of bloodline limit."

"How will you know if you don't try? He's just a kid. Maybe he'll awaken his bloodline limit in a few more years." Aokiji even gave an example: "Our Uchiha clan's Sharingan is like that too."

Long Lan's eyes burned with rage as she shouted, "You bastard, if you dare touch Long She, I will never forgive you!"

Aokiji's lips curled slightly as he gently shook his head, his tone tinged with pity: "What a pathetic fellow, unable to recognize the difference in strength between his opponent and his opponent."

"asshole--!"

Long Lan roared hysterically as she charged at Qing Zhi, determined to fight him to the death.

However, his opponent was faster than him, turning into a blur.

Wh-what!

By the time Long Lan realized what was happening, her opponent was already right in front of her, delivering a punch to her abdomen.

"Ugh..."

Long Lan's blood surged, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, enduring the pain as she swung her fist.

Aokiji didn't even move his body, casually blocking the attack and then striking his opponent's shoulder with a knee and elbow strike.

Long Lan was knocked to the ground, and a sense of despair welled up in her heart.

No, Aokiji is too strong.

Even without that move, his physical skills are far superior to his.

Aokiji crouched down, roughly grabbed Ryōran's hair with one hand, and pulled her head up to meet his gaze.

Facing those eyes blazing with fury, Aokiji remained unfazed, his dismissive tone even tinged with mockery: "Weakling, the way you're baring your teeth and threatening with all your might is so cute~~~"

After saying that, he casually tossed it away, as if throwing away trash, sending it flying several meters.

"Cough cough..." Long Lan coughed incessantly.

"So, have you made up your mind?"

Long Lan's lips trembled as she said, "Okay."

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier?" Aokiji teased. "You wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

Long Lan looked directly into Qingzhi's eyes and said without backing down, "But I have one request."

"Heh heh... You dare to make demands of me?" Aokiji said with a smile, "Interesting, tell me about it."

"I forbid you from ever again targeting my daughter or the Hidden Grass Village."

"Okay..." Aokiji readily agreed, "I've never been interested in a poor, insignificant country like yours. As for your daughter, that depends on your performance."

Long Lan said in a deep voice, "I need some time. I can't use this ninjutsu right away. At least we need to make it look like an accident happened during the mission."

"That's quite thoughtful."

"How can I be sure that you won't go back on your word after I use this ninjutsu?"

Aokiji said calmly, "Pray."

Long Lan frowned: "What did you say?"

"I pray I can keep my promise. After all, I seem to be too strong, and no one can restrain me, right?" Aokiji Versailles asked rhetorically.

Long Lan was extremely displeased, but what the other person said was true, and the words were vicious; this was his last act of defiance.

"You'd better keep your promise, or I'll haunt you even as a vengeful ghost."

Aokiji laughed and replied, "I'm way scarier than a vengeful ghost..."

A few days later, we agreed on a meeting place.

Aokiji asked, "Have all the arrangements for my passing been made?"

Long Lan nodded, looked around, and saw that Orochimaru was still the only one beside Aokiji: "Where do we go next?"

Aokiji's voice was tinged with excitement: "No need, this place is fine."

Long Lan frowned, looking puzzled.

Aokiji clasped his hands together, and the next second, a coffin emerged from the ground. With a "click," the coffin opened automatically, revealing a blonde woman inside. She had a hot figure and was extremely beautiful, but her only flaw was the cracks on her face.

From the moment this woman appeared, Long Lan noticed a significant change in Qingzhi's demeanor. He looked at this woman as if she were an exquisite orchid, filled with intense love.

This woman is...

Long Lan narrowed her eyes, vaguely guessing the relationship between the two.

He closed his eyes and shook his head, trying not to think about these things. At this point, thinking about them was useless. He opened his eyes, stepped forward, and placed his hands, one on top of the other, on Tsunade's abdomen.

Orochimaru, standing nearby, chuckled, "You must be very nervous right now."

Aokiji did not respond, not daring to breathe, staring intently at the scene before him. Using the Dragon Blood Reincarnation Technique on the Impure World was just his idea; whether it would actually work depended on luck.

Rise again, my love.

Aokiji clapped his hands together, interlacing his fingers in a prayer gesture. As if the prayer had worked, white smoke rose from Tsunade's body, swirling around her, and the cracks on her face were visibly disappearing, her complexion gradually becoming rosy.

Seeing that his efforts had been effective, Aokiji could not suppress his joy and his happiness was written all over his face.

After a few sounds, Tsunade frowned slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

At this moment, Long Lan withdrew his hand from Tsunade and stepped aside. His eyelids were half-closed, and his face was deathly pale. After using this ninjutsu, his life force had now been completely transferred to Tsunade: "Remember what you promised me..."

He coughed a few times, then his body could no longer support him. He collapsed to the ground and slowly closed his eyes.

At the same time, Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw through her blurry vision was a familiar figure who was calling her name in an incredibly affectionate voice.

Although her hair color had changed slightly, Tsunade recognized her face immediately, even with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Aokiji...?"

Almost the instant he called out that name, Aokiji couldn't wait to pull Tsunade into his arms, their soft, warm embrace pressing tightly together.

"ah--!"

A chill ran through her body, and Tsunade cried out in pain.

Aokiji asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Tsunade shivered slightly: "Cold."

Aokiji suddenly remembered his current state and regretfully let go.

At that moment, Tsunade noticed someone watching the two reunited with great interest.

Orochimaru?

Orochimaru greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see, Tsunade..."

"I remember back then, I clearly..." Tsunade recalled the scene before her death, her gaze lowered, and she sighed, "I should have been dead..."

Aokiji explained, "You were indeed dead, but I used a forbidden technique to revive you."

"Forbidden technique?"

Tsunade was taken aback. She had heard of such a forbidden technique that could directly revive people, but she was certain that Aokiji must have suffered a lot to learn this ninjutsu.

Tsunade looked at Aokiji with affection: "I see. You've had a hard time these past few days. Look, even your hair has turned white. Hmm... how come you haven't changed at all except for your hair?"

"That's a long story."

Aokiji had a lot he wanted to tell Tsunade, but with Orochimaru standing next to him like a third wheel, he couldn't say anything: "Let's go back to the village and talk about it slowly."

"Okay, alright." Tsunade noticed a person lying on the ground: "Who is this guy?"

"Uh, a passerby tried to rob me, and I beat him unconscious on the ground."

Aokiji gave a vague answer.

Given Tsunade's personality, she would never agree to have her resurrected in such a life-for-life manner.

Moreover, Aokiji used two lives to revive Tsunade. One life was from the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and the other was from the Dragon Blood Reincarnation technique.

"Robbery?"

Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle to herself. Trying to rob Aokiji and Orochimaru was like kicking a steel plate.

However, this person doesn't look like he's been beaten unconscious.

As Tsunade was beginning to have her doubts, Aokiji quickly changed the subject: "Alright, let's not worry about this person anymore, let's go back to the village."

When Tsunade was resurrected, Aokiji was as happy as a child, dancing around with joy: "Let me tell you, when you go back to the village, you'll be shocked. Fugaku is now the father of two children, and his wife, you'll be shocked when I tell you, is none other than Mikoto."

Tsunade's expression froze for a moment: "Mikoto, are you talking about the girls in your Uchiha clan?"

"Who else could it be?" Aokiji teased. "I never thought that Fugaku would be in a relationship so young."

"They both have children...?" Tsunade said incredulously, "Wait, if that's the case, then what era are we living in?"

Aokiji thought for a moment and replied, "Konoha year 58, I guess."

"Konoha Year 58." Tsunade's almond-shaped eyes widened as she peeled her slender, jade-like fingers, exclaiming in surprise, "Then I've been dead for decades?"

Aokiji sighed, "In a way, that's true."

Tsunade lowered her head, rubbed her chin, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing her like this, Aokiji thought that she would definitely ask about his younger brother next. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He would definitely be very sad if he knew the truth. After all, his younger brother still followed the original story and died young.

Tsunade raised her face and gave Aokiji a meaningful look.

Aokiji felt a little guilty under her gaze: "What's wrong?"

Tsunade's face darkened, her gaze scrutinizing, like a wife catching her husband cheating: "So many years have passed, you wouldn't have had many women outside, would you?"

"Huh?"
