Chapter 181 The Problem with the Impure World Reincarnation Technique

Black Zetsu is gone, just as it came quietly, without taking away a single cloud.

After leaving Hozuki Shingetsu a large amount of wealth and the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Black Zetsu was probably afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would be so angry that he would say something that would expose his identity.

So, after urging Hozuki Shingetsu to start developing the Chakra Cannon, he immediately used the Mayfly Technique to leave.

"What a good person!"

Watching Black Zetsu's departing figure, even with a heart as black as Hozuki Shingetsu's, looking at the ninja world map full of gold and silver mine locations, along with scrolls containing funds and ninjutsu seals, he couldn't help but acknowledge Black Zetsu's act of sending such a generous gift from afar.

A descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, a mastermind who has existed for a thousand years in the history of the ninja world, and the mastermind behind Uchiha Madara who turned him into a fool, under the sweet words of Hozuki Shingetsu, he dragged his old body around the ninja world to work for the development and growth of Kirigakure.

How could Hozuki Shingetsu not be deeply moved by such a story that transcends ideals, species, and time?

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the great spirit of internationalism (use your imagination)!

In response to this great spirit, Hozuki Shingetsu decided that at their next meeting, he would make a short PowerPoint presentation for Black Zetsu, showing a simulated animation clip to demonstrate how a future chakra cannon would shatter the moon.

The PowerPoint presentation will need to include a bunch of professional mathematical formulas, several renderings, and detailed markings of the chakra cannon's firing angle, the projectile's muzzle kinetic energy, the time required for simulated flight, the total energy required, etc. Finally, it will conclude with a humanoid creature escaping from the moon.

He, Hozuki Shingetsu, didn't believe that Black Zetsu wouldn't be confused after watching this PowerPoint presentation.

Since you're confused, shall we talk about the next investment share?

What is meant by "professional"?

That's what you call professionalism.

Hozuki Shingetsu is serious about scamming investors.

While his mind wandered to random thoughts, Hozuki Shingetsu carefully examined the things that Black Zetsu had just brought over.

Aside from the three gold mines near the Land of Water that Akiha Masanobu needed to send people to investigate, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique that he needed to handle personally, there was nothing else.

Black Zetsu also brought him the DNA of one person—the DNA of the Second Raikage.

It was only because Hozuki Shingetsu had tricked it, saying that the Chakra Cannon project was established by Kumogakure during the Second Raikage's time, and that the Second Raikage was quite familiar with some of the overall design concepts and key parameters.

Therefore, the Second Raikage was added to the list of targets for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Perhaps Black Zetsu realized his ulterior motives from this point and tried to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to stop him, but in the end, he still managed to get his hands on it.

After briefly examining the unidentified substance in the bottle, Hozuki Shingetsu's attention remained focused on the scroll containing the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Besides the fact that this thing is key to the normalization of Sage Mode training, Hozuki Shingetsu is also very interested in this ninjutsu that shone brightly in the Fourth Shinobi World War, which Yakushi Kabuto used to fight against the five great ninja villages.

"I see... According to the principles of summoning jutsu, using DNA as an anchor point, a special summoning contract is established by utilizing the connection between the deceased's soul chakra and the body's DNA, treating the deceased as a summoning beast and summoning them... The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, truly deserves to be called the 'Master of Forbidden Techniques'!"

After carefully reading through the Edo Tensei technique, even Hozuki Shingetsu couldn't help but feel sincere respect for this Second Hokage whom he had never met before.

This method, which draws inspiration from psychic arts and then uses the deceased as a medium to summon them, is truly ingenious.

And this was just one of his many inventions of ninjutsu.

"Golden Horn and Silver Horn, well done!"

At this moment, Hozuki Shingetsu couldn't help but feel grateful to Kinkaku and Ginkaku. If they hadn't stirred up a rebellion during the peace talks, and had been given a few more decades, who knows what kind of black technology this guy could have developed.

They had already developed a variety of unique ninjutsu, such as space-time ninjutsu, resurrection ninjutsu, human potential burst ninjutsu, infinite explosion ninjutsu, and soul astral projection ninjutsu. If they hadn't died back then, who knows what the ninja world would be like now!

After expressing his feelings, Hozuki Shingetsu, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, extracted several death row inmates from the prison and went to a secluded place in the back mountains of Kirigakure to begin testing the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

-

"Failed again... No, succeeded!"

One week later, in the back mountain of Kirigakure Village.

Hozuki Shingetsu gazed at the death row inmate wailing in front of him, watching as scraps of paper, seemingly appearing from nowhere, gradually covered him up, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique truly lives up to its reputation as a forbidden technique of Konoha. Hozuki Shingetsu has failed countless times in the past week. Fortunately, he didn't summon the Second Raikage right away, but instead practiced using other people's DNA first.

Otherwise, given the number of times he's failed recently, he'd probably have used up that entire bottle of the Second Raikage's DNA by now.

However, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

"...Where am I? Aren't I in the Land of Rain?"

Seeing the bewildered look on the face of the summoned Cloud Ninja, and hearing the words he spoke, Hozuki Shingetsu had a bad feeling.

"You are... Hozuki Shingetsu? Where is this...?"

Before the Cloud Ninja in front of him could resist, Hozuki Shingetsu activated the control runes placed behind his head and began to carefully examine the Edo Tensei Cloud Ninja.

"As expected, the Impure World Reincarnation technique before Orochimaru's improvements had flaws..."

Hozuki Shingetsu looked at the immobilized Edo Tensei Cloud Ninja and thought with a solemn expression.

The Cloud Ninja in front of me participated in the Second Shinobi World War. After the war ended some time ago, the mission assignments of various ninja villages gradually resumed. This Cloud Ninja also accepted a mission, and then he was captured by Kirigakure during the mission. He was then used as material by Hozuki Shingetsu.

From the questioning, he learned that the Chunin in front of him did not remember that he had died, and did not even know that the Second Shinobi World War had ended. In his memory, he was still fighting on the front lines of the Land of Rain against Konoha.

Hozuki Shingetsu initially thought it was a matter of the strength of the sacrifice, since the powerful Edo Tensei bodies in the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work all used White Zetsu as sacrifices.

However, when he injected the cells of the White Zetsu into the body of the Jonin sacrifice, and quickly used the Impure World Reincarnation technique before the sacrifice died from the backlash, the summoned dead person remained the same.

"I lost about 30% of my memory... and the summoned ninja, who was a ninja of the same level, was only 60% stronger."

Hozuki Shingetsu frowned as he looked at the compiled intelligence in his hand.
