"Find Tsunade! Find Tsunade!"
Lin Yu was eager to learn Wood Style jutsu. Susanoo felt incomplete without Wood Style, just as Uchiha Madara couldn't be without Senju Hashirama.
Lin Yu walked towards the Senju clan compound, his mind occupied with tasks that needed completing.
First and foremost, the easiest and most effective way to improve himself was through the Wood Style he had just acquired. Therefore, a visit to the Senju clan compound was imperative.
If Senju Hashirama hadn't left any scrolls or materials about Wood Style, Lin Yu would have no choice but to visit "Old Man" Uchiha Madara and force him to hand over the Wood Style jutsu.
As Senju Hashirama's lifelong rival and implanted with his cells, Uchiha Madara would undoubtedly use Senju Hashirama's Wood Style jutsu, such as "Lanscape Wood," as depicted in the original story.
While Madara was old, Lin Yu would extort him mercilessly. At worst, he could compensate him with a Senju Hashirama later!
Senju Hashirama: "Are you being polite?"
...
The Senju Clan Compound.
Tsunade was training in the private training grounds of the Senju clan as usual.
Her attractive figure dripped with sweat. Tsunade, when seriously training, was completely different from her usual carefree demeanor.
"Lady Tsunade, someone is looking for you outside. They said their name is Uzumaki Lin Yu!" a maidservant said, jogging over.
"Uzumaki Lin Yu? What does this brat want with me?" Could he still want to ask me out? But he can't even drink, so it's quite boring.
Tsunade took a moment to steady her breath and slipped on a jacket. She had been feeling a bit bored lately, and it would be good to talk to someone. Otherwise, her training progress would be too slow.
A short while later, Tsunade arrived at the manor, wiping sweat from her cheeks with a towel. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Yu, and she said, "What do you want with me, brat? I won't go on dates with you anymore."
Lin Yu gave an awkward smile. He had a request, and he dared not tease Tsunade now. After a moment of thought, he decided it was best to be direct.
"Tsunade, I want to learn Wood Style!"
"Wood Style!?" Tsunade was surprised. She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected Lin Yu to be after Wood Style.
Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she pursed her lips, saying, "As far as I know, apart from my grandfather, no one in Konoha has ever awakened Wood Style. It's useless for you to come to me. Although I am my great-grandfather's granddaughter, even I haven't mastered Wood Style."
"Is that so? Sigh, I've asked all over Konoha recently, and there's absolutely no information about Wood Style!" Lin Yu drooped his head in disappointment.
Tsunade nodded her head and suddenly clapped her hands, saying, "If it's just information, I remember my great-grandfather left some scrolls. I wonder if there's any record in them."
"Ah, this..." Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
"You want to see them, brat~" Tsunade's rosy lips curved slightly. She seemed to have figured out Lin Yu's purpose.
However, she didn't overthink it. Wood Style! Whose exclusive was it? The representative jutsu of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, who wouldn't crave it? But have you ever seen any ninja learn it? There have been no fewer than eight hundred people who came to the Senju clan to seek guidance, but not a single one has mastered it.
It's not impossible for Lin Yu to see it, but it depends on his performance! Tsunade thought to herself.
"Uh... Can I see it? Wouldn't that be inappropriate!" Lin Yu extended a hand towards Tsunade, saying it was inappropriate, but his body was honest!
"Hmph! After all, it's a secret scroll of my Senju clan. How can anyone just see it if they want to!" Tsunade crossed her arms, completely ignoring Lin Yu's seemingly reversed roles. She was the main character!
"Then what do you want? Let's be clear! I'm only ten years old!"
Lin Yu tightened his clothes, looking at Tsunade warily.
"Pfft! With your body thinner than a bed board, do you think I'd be interested?"
After saying that, Tsunade's expression became somewhat dejected, and she softly said to Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, keep me company for a while."
Tsunade didn't wait for Lin Yu's reply and started talking to herself.
"I've been training myself day and night recently, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, without a moment's rest. I just want to stand before that black-robed man with my own strength one day. However, I went to see that old man last time and asked him about the Eternal Organization and the black-robed man. The information I got was very limited."
"I know the old man wouldn't hide this from me, but it's been more than half a year, and there's no information about the black-robed man. Konoha is one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, yet we can't even track their movements. Can I... can I really find him?"
"And what happens after I find the black-robed man?" Lin Yu asked.
"Resurrect Nawaki!" Tsunade replied without hesitation.
Lin Yu fell silent. Nawaki's death had greatly impacted Tsunade. He had been too optimistic earlier.
Lin Yu pondered whether resurrecting Nawaki at this time would be a good thing. The Third Great Ninja War was about to break out, and this one would be much fiercer than the Second Great Ninja War.
Not only would the "AB" duo of Cloud Village, Ay and Killer Bee, officially debut, but the Hidden Mist Village, far overseas, would also intervene, with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen ambushing Konoha, thus establishing Might Guy's reputation for the "Eight Gates."
Not to mention the appearance of an aged Madara in the "Battle of Kannabi Bridge" later on.
Of course, Konoha also showcased its foundation as the "Number One Shinobi Village" in this battle. The Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, and the Swift, Shisui Uchiha, and a series of the new generation of Konoha were unstoppable on the battlefield, earning their formidable reputations.
Given Nawaki's personality, if he were resurrected, would he obediently stay in the village and live in retirement? He still had the dream of becoming Hokage and couldn't just sit idly by.
It could be said that Nawaki was like Naruto without the Nine-Tails, with ordinary talent, a naive personality, and impulsiveness, which led to his unfortunate death on the battlefield. If Naruto didn't have the protagonist's halo, the Nine-Tails within him, and the strongest jutsu, "talk no jutsu," he would have died countless times!
But you, Nawaki, had nothing, and could only rely on me, Lin Yu, your future brother-in-law, to cover for you. But I haven't fully grown yet and can't really protect you.
Moreover, it has been almost a full year since Senju Nawaki's death. Time has passed so long, and it's uncertain if Samsara of Heavenly Life can still resurrect him.
You must know that the longer time passes, the "2^n" growth in chakra and life force consumed. You've been dead for over a year, who knows how great a price it would take to resurrect you. However, one thing is certain: Samsara of Heavenly Life used with Impure World Reincarnation can resurrect any being in the ninja world, except for those whose souls have been annihilated.
Uchiha Madara during the Fourth Great Ninja War is the best example. Samsara of Heavenly Life can also be divided into several levels. The first level is the lowest, requiring only a large amount of chakra and life force to resurrect someone who has just died, provided the body is intact.
The second level is the Outer Path Samsara of Heavenly Life used by Nagato, which summons Yama and resurrects all those killed by him within a certain time. The chakra and life force consumed are dozens of times higher than the first level. If Nagato were at his peak, using this jutsu would not exhaust his life force and cause him to die.
The third level, the highest level of Samsara of Heavenly Life, ignores the difference in levels between the two, sacrificing all of the caster's life and chakra to bring another person back to life. Simply put, it's a "one-for-one" trade.
Of course, all of the above require the physical body to be intact or have Impure World Reincarnation as a medium.
In any case, resurrecting someone will inevitably come at a great cost. Resuscitation is a taboo everywhere, and those who touch it will ultimately not have a good outcome.
However... what does all this have to do with my Rinnegan without cost? Do you understand what "without cost" means?
It's like what "Draven destroying the fountain" has to do with me "flying by b"?
However, Lin Yu felt that whether to resurrect Nawaki or not, Tsunade had the final say, and he had no right to interfere. He would find an opportunity to let the black-robed man meet her.
After all, as long as Lin Yu wanted to, he could resurrect Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama right now, provided he learned Impure World Reincarnation...
!!!
Lin Yu's mind went blank, as if he had suddenly thought of something!
What was the purpose of the system rewarding me with a Rinnegan without cost? Could it be that it wants me to resurrect Senju Hashirama? To fulfill Uchiha Madara's decades of "longing" for him!
Damn it! The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Who knew his system wasn't a good person!
