I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"But as for Kakashi, I think that even if the two of them work together, they still won't be able to take control of Konoha immediately."

"After all, as you know, the distribution of ninjas in Konoha is quite complex."

"So they'll always have to come back and ask us for advice."

"Therefore, I will not raise pigs forever."

Danzo said with certainty.

"Makes sense."

"My Sarutobi clan has quite a few Jonin and Chunin," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

"So in order to control these people, Kitahara-kun and Kakashi will also make me stop raising pigs."

"Finally... I won't be so embarrassed when I'm old."

"Then what should I do?" Xiaochun asked hurriedly.

She was just an advisor, and... there weren't any transmigratory women in the village, so... wasn't she useless?

“Don’t worry, Danzo and Sarutobi won’t abandon us,” Mitokado Homura said. “I’m quite certain of that.”

"Hmph!" Danzo put his hands behind his back. "So, who's going to scrub the floor now?"

"I'll do it!" Xiaochun immediately abandoned her girlish reserve.

···········

Just as the Konoha F4 finally abandoned their reserve and began charging into the pigsty, Kitahara Kaede on the Hokage Rock side had already obtained information about the villagers at the scene.

The notification was sent to 721 households, of which 12 households had died out, but 711 households still had relatives.

533 households have now arrived here.

This indicates that some villagers are still in a wait-and-see mode.

However, Kitahara Kaede wasn't going to tolerate them.

"Um... Fifth Hokage, Sixth Hokage." The person speaking now is one of the Jonin from the Ikegami clan.

She has long, beautiful black hair and beautiful magenta eyes.

This is the Jonin instructor of Team 8, and also the daughter-in-law of the Third Hokage in the original story.

However, that was in the second part, which is the later part of Shippuden, and we are still in the beginning now, so it is impossible to confirm.

of course.

These things are not of much concern to Kitahara Kaede at the moment.

It can be confirmed that Kurenai Yuhi's presence indicates that she had relatives who died in the disaster when the Nine-Tails attacked the village.

"The information is accurate," Kakashi, who was acting as the secretary, said. "The Fifth Hokage learned the Second Hokage's special ninjutsu."

"His name is Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation)."

"And this ninjutsu is also known as the Dream Fulfillment Technique."

"Through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, one can bring back the souls of the deceased."

"This goes against our values, so if you don't like it, please leave now."

But after saying that, the crowd didn't move.

Because if you quit, you won't be here anymore.

“Then let’s assume you all agree,” Kakashi said. “Let’s begin now.”

"However, this forbidden technique requires a sacrifice."

"As for the offerings, they are living people. Of course, it doesn't mean people from our village, or you. Last night, the village sent ninjas to plunder all the bandits in the Land of Fire."

"They all used these unforgivable sinners as sacrifices."

"However, due to the distance, it will be a little later before we can bring them back."

"Right now, we can only prepare 200 sacrifices, so naturally we can only resurrect 200 deceased ninjas using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"So, the family members of those who are willing to follow orders will be resurrected first," Kakashi said earnestly.

However, I'm a little confused because Kitahara Kaede made him read these lines first and then recite them.

For example... we clearly prepared a large number of offerings long ago, but now you're saying there are only 200?

You should know that there are now more than 1000 people gathered here.

When the Nine-Tails attacked the village, the real loss of ninjas... wasn't just 1000, but more than 4000.

These four thousand people are different from the ten thousand ninjas of Iwagakure. Konoha's ninjas have always been elites, not just a large number.

So these four thousand people... are terrifying.

But there are only 200 spots available now...

Kakashi was slightly puzzled, but he still gave the notification seriously.

"So... only 200 people can be allowed at the start..."

"Then let's take a look."

Immediately, someone finally chickened out.

However, some people will support it.

“If that’s the case,” Kurenai Yuhi said, “could you revive my father first?”

"My father, Kurenai Yuhi, is skilled in genjutsu and is a Jonin of Konoha."

"When the Nine-Tails attacked the village, he and the other Jonin sacrificed themselves to protect the next generation."

"I hope to see him again. I also hope he can see that I have grown up."

Then Hong didn't say it.

The last thing her father said in her memory was, "Kurenai, don't come here to cause trouble. What can you do, you're just a low-ranking ninja?"

"If you haven't fulfilled your womanly duty by bearing the next generation, then don't even think about sacrificing yourself."

This sounds cruel, as if the father is treating his daughter as a breeding machine, but Hong prefers to believe that it is a goal his father has set for her so that she can live.

“Then let’s begin,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"To the cemetery."

About half an hour later, the group arrived at the cemetery area on the back hill.

This cemetery is very large, with graves of ashes of all sizes.

This is because it is a collection of ninjas who have sacrificed themselves for missions and to protect the village over the past few decades.

Even though he didn't say anything, a heavy atmosphere could be felt.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Big Pillar Silly]: ...So many graves.

Tobirama Senju: Eh.

The two Hokage were in low spirits.

Because it was very different from what they had imagined.

This shows that while we want to pursue peace, we also lose far too much.

However, some people wanted to lighten the mood.

Minato Namikaze: I saw my grave too.

This is very interesting.

He looked at his own grave.

······

Those who believed in Kitahara Kaede, clinging to a sliver of hope, had already begun digging up the graves of their own relatives.

It's like the crimson sunset.

She was filled with mixed feelings.

However, she didn't really trust Kitahara Kaede; she was a plant hired specifically for this purpose.

However, when it came to actually digging up his father's grave, he hesitated, because it was considered... a grave offense.

However, she was a special Jonin, and Kitahara Kaede told her that as long as she completed today's mission, she would be promoted to Jonin.

Even if her strength is not yet sufficient, it doesn't matter; he will give her special boosts.

If someone else had said this, she would have thought it was an exaggeration, but Kitahara Kaede's Wood Release technique controlled Shukaku in less than a minute, demonstrating absolute strength that made her unable to disbelieve.

in this way.

[I'm sorry, Father, this is the Fifth Hokage's order.]

With a silent apology, Kurenai took out some of her father's ashes.

The Impure World Reincarnation requires two essential conditions: a physical body and a sacrifice.

"Then let's begin." Kitahara Kaede raised his hand lightly, and a member of the ANBU threw over a bandit whose mouth had been gagged.

Everyone is watching Kitahara Kaede.

“Yin-Si-Xu-Chen—” He began to form hand seals.

He doesn't form hand seals very quickly.

However, it gives people a powerful aura.

"what……"

The offering underwent a change, emitting a faint glow. It began to be covered by something resembling folded paper and tiles, which then completely enveloped it.

But things changed from the very beginning.

"Impure World Reincarnation!" Kitahara Kaede clasped his hands together.

"what--"

The offering screamed in agony, but the next second, Kurenai Yuhi instinctively shed tears.

Because her father's appearance had already appeared.

This is what he looked like as a young and robust man when his father passed away.

The impure being's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly regained consciousness.

The reanimated Kurenai Yuhi turned her head left and right. "What's wrong with me...?"

"here it is……"

"This……"

"You are..." He looked around and found that there were people everywhere, all looking at him. Looking ahead, he saw a young woman with black hair and red eyes.

This woman gave him a strange sense of familiarity and a blood-like attraction.

"Are you... Kurenai?" Kurenai Yuhi asked.

“Yes…yes.” Hong found herself becoming very emotional. “Yes, after twelve years, we have finally met again, Father.”

"Is it."

"So, I'm in the Edo Tensei state," said Yuhi Shinku.

The Second Hokage had used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so as a Jonin, Shiku Yuhi had some insights into it.

"Yes, you are currently in the state of Impure World Reincarnation."

“Let me introduce you,” Kakashi said. “This is the Fifth Hokage, Kitahara Kaede, who inherited the First Hokage's Wood Release, and now…”

"The Fifth Hokage, the First Hokage's Wood Release?" Kurenai Yuhi's eyes lit up. "So Konoha has developed. If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."

But now is not the time to watch him express the Will of Fire.

"He really has been resurrected through Edo Tensei!"

"We can talk!"
