Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha-Chapter 573 - 572 : Meeting in Mental Space!!

Reanimation Jutsu?

Kakashi had heard this name before.

No, that was not right.

There seemed to be records about Reanimation Jutsu in the Scroll of Seals.

Back then, when he had followed Genya’s "advice" to steal the Scroll of Seals, he had only skimmed through it and never paid much attention.

After all, most of the jutsu recorded in the Scroll of Seals either damaged the user’s body or required a special constitution to practice.

Even using a single Multiple Shadow Clone would consume one third of his chakra.

Learning those forbidden techniques was almost meaningless to him.

Moreover, his identity at that time made it impossible for him to openly and confidently learn such jutsu.

So now, hearing that someone in Konoha was researching Reanimation Jutsu, the first emotion that surged in his mind was anger.

Extreme anger.

Using Konoha’s civilians as sacrifices for Reanimation Jutsu was simply unforgivable.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were utterly beyond redemption.

"Kimimaro, what is Reanimation Jutsu?" Deidara scratched his head and looked at Kimimaro with a face full of confusion.

At the moment, he knew nothing about this so-called Reanimation Jutsu.

The big guy beside him, Jugo, also scratched his head, his eyes filled with doubt.

"It is a special forbidden technique that summons the dead back from the Pure Land," Kimimaro said as he looked at their shocked expressions and continued explaining.

"But this summoning requires a new vessel."

"In other words, you use a living person’s life to summon a dead one."

As he spoke, Kimimaro’s expression grew heavier and heavier.

"There is another point," Kimimaro added slowly.

"Those revived through Reanimation Jutsu almost possess immortality."

Kimimaro explained in great detail, because he had personally seen those brought back by the technique.

When they were injured, they could recover extremely quickly.

Other than sealing them away, there was almost no way to deal with them.

Unless the person under the technique could free themselves.

"So strong?" Deidara was stunned.

Kakashi, who had been listening from the side, widened his eyes as well.

If Root truly possessed the ability to use Reanimation Jutsu, how terrifying would their power become?

And Danzo.

And Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Just how many deceased Konoha predecessors had they revived?

Originally, the situation in battle was already heavily tilted in favor of Genya and the Uchiha.

If Genya intended to launch a coup during the Chunin Exams, the balance of victory might shift again.

Konoha’s predecessors.

Within Konoha, many of its predecessors had been extremely powerful.

If they were all revived through Reanimation Jutsu, what kind of horrifying force would that be?

It was unimaginable.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the past generations of Hokage alone were not something ordinary people could deal with.

And that was under the condition that they didn’t possess immortal bodies.

Hiss.

He shook his head, not daring to think any further.

"Genya, should we strike first?" Hyuga Neji walked over at this moment, his tone heavy as he considered countermeasures.

"No need," Genya shook his head, but a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Let them summon more people back."

"Heh."

"That way, they won’t need to go to the Pure Land to atone for their sins."

For those resurrected by the Reanimation Jutsu, Genya could not help but sneer.

Moreover, there were some Wood Release techniques he wanted to replicate from the First Hokage. After all, both Hayashi and Hikari had reached the limit of their Wood Release techniques, so it was a good opportunity to study and learn from them.

"By the way... Deidara!" Genya looked at Deidara, his tone unusually calm. "There’s a letter you need to deliver."

Deidara was surprised. "A letter?"

Genya spoke slowly. "It’s a letter for the Tsuchikage, Onoki. It’s an invitation from Atsukara, asking him to send someone to Konoha for the Chunin Exams. Plus... to watch the fun."

Given the relationship between the Land of Earth and Konoha, it was unlikely they would actually send anyone.

But Genya had promised Orochimaru that he would ruin Hiruzen Sarutobi’s reputation. Naturally, he wanted all the ninja from different nations to come and witness it.

"Deliver the letter?" Deidara hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "Heh... It’s been a while since I’ve gone back. Now’s a perfect chance to visit the village and maybe see the old man."

"All right... I should be going." Genya nodded, then turned to the villagers who hadn’t settled yet. "Let them stay here for now."

After arranging for them, Genya left immediately. He still had matters to discuss with Orochimaru and the others, leaving a stunned Kakashi behind.

Kimimaro also turned his gaze toward Kakashi.

Inside the Uchiha clan, in Genya’s room...

A fluctuation in space appeared, and Genya’s figure materialized inside the room. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He stretched lazily and returned to his bed, running his hand over a ring.

Then, he entered the mental space.

In a short time, Orochimaru and Shisui Uchiha appeared in the mental world, their eyes curious as they looked at Genya.

"What do you need from us?"

Orochimaru spoke, his voice serious. Normally, Genya did not use the mental ring to communicate, so something must be important.

"Today, I infiltrated the ANBU Root laboratory," Genya said, recounting everything he had seen, including the fact that Root was researching Reanimation Jutsu.

"Heh... of course. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura will never stop their experiments. But these two are researching techniques I have no interest in!" Orochimaru’s disdain for Hiruzen and Danzo grew stronger.

They always claimed it was for Konoha, but everything they did only dragged the village toward ruin.

"What do you want to do? Should we revive a few of Konoha’s strongest ninja, like Hashirama Senju?" Genya asked Orochimaru, genuinely interested.

"No!" Orochimaru shook his head decisively. "Impossible. Hashirama’s soul is too powerful. Even if Reanimation Jutsu can control someone’s mind, just controlling him would exhaust me. And for a ninja like him, keeping him under control is unpredictable."

No proud ninja could accept being constantly manipulated.

"Ah~~" Genya nodded, not continuing the topic. "Then we’ll just play it by ear when the time comes!"

At worst, he could just kill the one performing the so-called Reanimation Jutsu.

After finishing the matter of the Reanimation Jutsu, Genya finally turned to Shisui. "Shisui, you should be back as well. It’s about time to settle your grudge!"

The issue with Shisui and Danzo was better handled personally.

"I understand!" Shisui nodded, already knowing which grudge Genya was referring to.

As he nodded, a flash of killing intent passed through his spiritually manifested eyes. Danzo Shimura, the debt must be repaid.

The Hokage’s office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura sat inside, the room unusually quiet. No one spoke, and Hiruzen kept frowning while smoking his pipe.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

At that moment, a man and a woman—two elderly figures—pushed the door open and walked in.
