"Teacher Lin Yu, could you please take a look at Sasuke? Isshiki just captured him, and this appeared in his hand."
Although very reluctant, Sasuke was held by Itachi and brought before Lin Yu.
A black diamond-shaped pattern appeared on Sasuke's palm. Lin Yu's expression gradually became solemn.
Seeing Lin Yu's serious expression, not only Itachi but also Sasuke asked with some trepidation, "This shouldn't be some kind of curse or ninjutsu, right? I don't feel anything unusual about my body."
Itachi also quickly said, "Teacher, please save Sasuke!"
Lin Yu reached out and patted Sasuke's arm. His previously heavy expression suddenly broke into a smile, "You're lucky, kid! This is a good thing!"
"Huh?"
Sasuke's face stiffened, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost scared to death by the great devil Lin Yu. Sasuke thought he was going to die young!
Scary!
At this moment, Naruto also excitedly ran over, showing Lin Yu the black diamond-shaped mark on his right hand.
"Hey, hey, hey! I have this too. It was left by that guy Momoshiki when he grabbed me. It hurt at first, but I didn't expect it to be a good thing!"
Since Sasuke hadn't left, Naruto certainly wouldn't either. After all, his father, Minato Namikaze, had plenty of people to look after him.
"Teacher Lin Yu, what does this diamond-shaped pattern mean?"
Tobi also came closer. As for Kakashi, he had taken Might Guy back to Konoha for treatment. After all, the leg used to open the Gate of Death and perform the Evening Elephant was completely carbonized, not just shattered bone.
Seeing that everyone around was looking, Lin Yu said concisely, "This thing is called a Karma. It contains the compressed power and soul copy of an Otsutsuki, and it's also the secret to the Otsutsuki clan's eternal life."
"Nani!"
Sasuke looked at the pattern on his palm and trembled, "So you mean..."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Meaning, Isshiki and Momoshiki will be resurrected through Naruto and Sasuke's bodies."
*Clang!*
Naruto fell directly to the ground, crying as he grabbed Sasuke's hand and said, "Sasuke, I won't allow anyone to possess your body!"
"..."
Everyone was shocked. This kid's choice of words was definitely problematic!
Sasuke quickly shook off Naruto's arm, his face red with anger, "You're the one who's going to be possessed, you bastard! Idiot!"
After understanding the origin of the Karma, Itachi calmed down instead and said, "Teacher Lin Yu must have a solution, that's why you said Sasuke and Naruto are lucky, right?"
A trace of red flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and a black katana radiating black flames appeared in his hand. He chuckled and said, "Give them both a slash, and everything will be resolved!"
Sasuke looked at the cold gleam of the blade and the flames like the dark flames of the netherworld. For the first time, he sought help from Itachi, "You... brother, save me. I don't want to be cut by the great devil."
Everyone took a step back in unison, leaving space for Lin Yu and the two little lambs, without any intention of helping.
Naruto rolled up his sleeve, showed off his small muscle to Lin Yu, and said cheerfully, "It's just cutting off a hand, Sasuke, you're such a coward. I'll go first!"
Lin Yu blinked, and a wicked idea formed in his mind.
"Who said it was the hand?"
"Then where are you cutting?" Naruto scratched his head, then his gaze followed the black katana to his crotch.
"No! No, absolutely not here!"
"It's too late, look out!"
*Clang!*
Sasuke watched Naruto, who had fainted after being covered by black flames, twitch his lips. Dare to act tough in front of the great devil Lin Yu. Didn't he see that his tsundere, Sasuke, was scared?
Naruto, that idiot!
...
With two mournful screams, the black flames returned to the demon sword after a satisfied burp from Naruto and Sasuke. The black Karmas in their hands also turned into white Karmas, representing that only the pure power imprints of Isshiki and Momoshiki remained within.
"Alright, that's it for now."
Lin Yu stroked his chin and said to Uchiha Madara, who was hesitant to release his soul and return to the pure land, "Hey you, I'll give you a few days to prepare."
"Uzumaki Lin Yu! You think you can humiliate me? I'll just release the Edo Tensei myself and return to the pure land!"
Uchiha Madara's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth. It was unclear how his eyes turned red as an Edo Tensei.
"Madara, what are you two talking about? I..."
"Shut up! It's all your fault!" Uchiha Madara glared fiercely at Hashirama Senju, his attitude extremely hostile. This made Hashirama think he had done something so heinous. This was the first time Madara had ever spoken to him so harshly.
The God of Shinobi felt a little wronged!
"The dignified Uchiha Madara lost a bet and wants to renege?"
Hashirama Senju heard this and immediately tried to enlighten Uchiha Madara, "Madara, that's wrong of you. You have to admit defeat when you lose a bet. Good sportsmanship is good character!"
"Get lost!"
Hashirama Senju shrugged, indicating he had done his best. Then he said to Orochimaru, "The crisis has been resolved. You can release the Edo Tensei. As a dead person, I shouldn't linger in the ninja world for too long."
Orochimaru pointed at Lin Yu, indicating that he was the one in charge.
Uchiha Madara immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Let's go, Hashirama. We'll return to the pure land together. I can't stand being in this ninja world for another moment!"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, you two. The Otsutsuki threat has not been completely resolved yet. The current ninja world still needs your strength."
"With your strength, does it make a difference whether we are here or not? Besides, we are both Edo Tensei bodies, with too many limitations. Our strength is just so-so."
Hashirama Senju looked at Tobi and the others with satisfaction, "In a few more years, perhaps these young people will surpass us."
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and sneered, "What, are you, Uzumaki Lin Yu, going to revive me with Rinne Rebirth? Then I wouldn't mind staying."
"Why not?"
Lin Yu said, "Don't underestimate the Otsutsuki clan. Isshiki might just be a mid-level member. If multiple high-ranking Otsutsuki descend upon the ninja world next time, I might be able to stop one, but I can't stop other Otsutsuki members."
"At that time, the ninja world will only be reduced to a breeding ground until the planet's energy is depleted and it dies."
Hashirama Senju said solemnly, "That being said, reviving the dead is ultimately a taboo, and the cost is unimaginable. It's not worth it to revive us two old guys."
"Then what if I say that I can revive Uchiha Izuna and Tobirama Senju as well without any pressure? What would you two choose?"
Hashirama Senju didn't even look at Lin Yu. With a dark expression, he walked up to Jiraiya and said, "Tell Tsunade to reserve a house for me in the Senju compound!"
Uchiha Madara even stomped the ground beneath his feet, causing it to sink. He instantly appeared beside Lin Yu, stealthily glanced at Hashirama, and whispered in a voice only they could hear,
"If you want to see how I hug Hashirama, I can satisfy you too!"
