Chapter 284 Nobuo Ooka, resurrected through Edo Tensei
Inside the brightly lit laboratory, facing a bound rogue ninja, Kiichiro begins to form hand seals.
"Impure World Reincarnation!"
Enveloped in chakra, the rogue ninja died and transformed into the likeness of Ooka Shin.
Slowly opening his eyes, Ooka Shin's vision gradually cleared, and he saw that Oni Ichiro had grown much taller.
"Looks like a lot of time has passed, Oni Ichiro. You've gone from a little fat boy to a big fat boy."
Upon seeing his own people, Ooka Shin relaxed, cracking jokes and stretching his limbs.
"Is this the body resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation? It doesn't feel very strong."
After observing for a while, Kiichiro found that Ooka Shin was fine, and relaxed a bit.
"This is the basic version of the Impure World Reincarnation left by the Second Hokage. It is estimated to be different from the versions used by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, and it did not enhance your strength."
As he spoke, Kiichiro walked to the lab table, took out a scalpel, and cut open his palm, revealing the bright red flesh inside, with blood dripping continuously.
Upon seeing this, Kiichiro calmly said, "As expected, we cannot share the power of the Impure World Reincarnation."
Ooka Shin chuckled lightly: "Heh, in the end, this body of mine is just an object, used to house my soul. How could you possibly share the abilities of an object? Alright, tell me, what has happened all these years? Is Nagato's Rinnegan still intact?"
Kiichiro recounted the events of those years, and Ooka Shin listened as if he were reading a story, finding it all very interesting.
As they were talking, Kiichiro arrived at the EVA laboratory, pointed at Unit-01 and said, "There's something I need your help with. Unit-01 has no soul and can't exert its combat power. Could you become Unit-01's soul?"
Good grief, they're using me as an experiment.
Ooka Shin immediately shook his head and said firmly, "The soul is a very mysterious thing. It's best not to mess around with it. If something goes wrong, we might all be in trouble."
After thinking for a moment, Kiichiro nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then go to the Land of Fire. Sensuke needs your help."
Ooka Shin laughed helplessly: "I feel like death is pretty good, very peaceful."
That night, Minato Namikaze received letters from Chiyo and Yōkura, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"The situation is really complicated."
Chiyo claimed that Pakura and the others had killed the Kazekage and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and were therefore rogue ninjas of the Sand Village. She hoped that Konoha would protect the Daimyo's son and hand him over to them.
Yekura claims to be the true Kazekage, and that traitors like Chiyo colluded with Hanzo to kill the previous Kazekage and assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
In the letter, Yekura not only hoped that Konoha would hand over the daimyo's son to them, but also hoped to receive Konoha's assistance.
They can form an alliance with Konoha if Konoha helps them reclaim Sunagakure.
Inside the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze looked at the Third Hokage and several advisors, seeking their advice.
Danzo's attitude was firm: "The Sand Village ninja are killing each other, which is the best time for us to launch an attack. Why don't we pretend to help them, and then send troops to wipe them out!"
The third generation immediately objected: "The damage from the war has not yet been eliminated. We should recuperate and not start another war."
Danzo argued unwillingly: "Such a good opportunity may never come again. If we are worried about losses, we can join forces with Iwagakure and divide up Sunagakure together."
Mitokado Homura calmly said, "The situation in the ninja world is interconnected. If we take action, the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja will definitely follow suit, which may lead to another ninja war. It's best to be cautious."
Koharu Utatane gave a deep reminder: "The infighting among the Sand Village ninja is extremely fierce. They might ignore our warnings and send people directly into the Land of Fire to kidnap the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. Therefore, we must be prepared."
Minato Namikaze, after considering everyone's opinions, said with a smile, "We will not join the Sand Village's internal strife for the time being, but we will strengthen the defense of the border and send people to protect the Daimyo's son."
After the discussion was over, everyone dispersed. Minato Namikaze leaned back in his chair and began to ponder quietly.
A few minutes later, Minato Namikaze left the office, but instead of going home, he went to Kyosuke's house.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Is there some family conflict?"
Kyosuke welcomed Minato Namikaze through the door, somewhat puzzled.
Minato Namikaze, however, was not joking. He sat down and looked at Kyosuke seriously: "Kyosuke, I'm going to form the Hokage Guard. You should be the captain."
Kyosuke poured Minato a glass of water, sat down opposite him, tilted his head and gave a faint smile: "Master, have you grown tired of those old men? You actually want your dear disciple to help you fight for power and profit."
Minato Namikaze gave a wry smile: "You're too mature for your age. Things aren't as serious as you make them out to be. It's just for the sake of the village's stability."
Becoming the captain of the Hokage's Guard would increase his status and help him cultivate his own power, so Kyosuke certainly wouldn't refuse.
"Leave it to me. By the way, how many people can I manage? For the sake of Konoha, I don't mind commanding a few hundred subordinates."
Minato Namikaze was speechless. "Kyosuke, you're really ambitious. You want to manage hundreds of people?"
Minato Namikaze held up three fingers: "Besides you, there are three others, but you can decide who they are."
"Aha!"
Kyosuke exclaimed exaggeratedly, "All the people I know are young people, teacher. You didn't find that the strong people all have their own interests and are difficult to control, so you asked me to find some simple young people who are easy for you to manipulate, did you?"
Promoting young people is clearly a good thing, but Kyosuke's words make it sound like a huge conspiracy.
Minato Namikaze felt his head throb even more, so he turned and left, leaving behind only the words: "These next few days, take your time to select some excellent and reliable juniors."
After Minato Namikaze left, Kyosuke started thinking about how to choose. Of course, he would choose based on relationships!
The Hokage Guard consists of the Hokage and Kyosuke's direct subordinates, and they must be loyal. Kyosuke will not consider anyone he is not familiar with, no matter how strong they are.
Secondly, one must have strength, or even if one's strength is not very strong, one must have great potential in order to eliminate the enemy.
"Guy, Kakashi, Obito, Shisui, Itachi, well, Itachi is a bit young, so we'll exclude him for now. These are our first choices. Genma Shiranui, Kurenai, Ebisu, and others can also be considered. Looking at it this way, there are quite a few options."
The next morning, Kyosuke arrived outside the village and found Kai exercising, observing him quietly for a moment.
After finishing his push-ups, Kai stood up and looked at Kyosuke, asking curiously, "Kyosuke, what's up?"
Kyosuke said with a smile, "Kai, it's been a long time since we've sparred, let's have a match!"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing about the upcoming battle, Kai's eyes blazed with fire. He roared, gave Kyosuke a thumbs-up, and exclaimed triumphantly, "As expected of Kyosuke, you thought the same thing as me!"
The two found a clearing in the woods and stood facing each other.
"I'm attacking! Leaf Whirlwind!"
With a roar, Kai vanished from his spot and instantly rushed to Kyosuke's right side, his right leg whistling through the air as he kicked directly at Kyosuke's face.
