Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 537 The White Zetsu Incident Ends

The art of reincarnation and rebirth.

That is the ultimate technique of the Rinnegan, which grants control over life and death. It is a forbidden technique in legend that can reverse death and awaken the dead.

This technique can bring the dead back to the world, allowing the flame of life to reignite in their extinguished bodies.

All the caster needs to give up is chakra and life energy.

There is no need to exchange lives, no need for one life for another.

In the original work, Nagato died after using Rinne Rebirth, not because the technique itself required the sacrifice of the caster's life, but because his chakra and life energy had been completely exhausted and he could no longer sustain it.

At this moment, Zuo Yue stood under the walls of Konoha, her hands forming the simple "巳" hand seal, feeling the changes within her body.

A massive amount of chakra is gushing out.

The rate at which it was consumed was astonishingly fast, alarmingly fast.

Ordinary ninjas, even those at the Kage level, wouldn't last long under such strain. Nagato died because his body couldn't withstand the drain; his life force was completely drained.

But Satsuki is different.

She possesses a pair of unique eyes—the Nine-Tomoe Sharingan.

Just as chakra began to be consumed rapidly, an even more powerful force began to activate deep within those eyes.

[The World of Time] - The Eye that Controls All Things

That was Zuo Yue's own eye technique, unique to her eyes, which allowed her to manipulate time and any object at will.

Life also has its time.

Chakra also has a time limit.

So—Zuoyue rewound his time to the moment when his chakra was at its peak.

With each expenditure, she would rewind once.

Each time her chakra decreased, she would return herself to the point in time when her chakra was at its peak.

And so it goes, in an endless loop.

No consumption.

That's right—Zuoyue can use the Samsara Life Technique without consuming any resources!

Green light surged from her body like a tide, spreading in all directions.

The light was gentle yet bright, carrying the breath of life and the power of revival as it swept across the land, spreading over the walls of Konoha, across the plains beyond, across the ruins of the villages destroyed by White Zetsu, and across the places where the fallen patrol ninjas had been.

One, two, three... those who had already died opened their eyes in the green light.

The flames of life that had been extinguished were rekindled.

Those broken families are made whole again.

Everyone affected by the White Zetsu—has returned.

Naruto stood on the wall, gazing at the spreading green light, feeling the immense life force contained within it.

His senses detected every fluctuation of chakra within Zuo Yue's body. Those fluctuations rose and fell, seemingly consuming chakra rapidly, yet returning to their peak state in the next moment.

He got it.

Zuo Yue's eye technique allowed her to use the Samsara of Heaven technique without consuming any resources, and her previously anxious heart finally settled down.

Beside them, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were completely stunned for the umpteenth time.

The ruins that were just a moment ago in the distance, the villages that had vanished, the patrolling ninjas who had died—now, in the green light, they all returned.

This is not an illusion; it actually happened.

"Jiraiya-sensei, the Third Hokage." Naruto's voice rang out from the side, breaking their daze.

"Satsuki uses the power of the Rinnegan."

He explained, his voice calm and patient.

"That's a technique that can revive the dead, called the Rinnegan." Naruto slowly explained that Satsuki's eyes had awakened into the legendary Rinnegan.

Jiraiya's Adam's apple bobbed.

Rinnegan.

He saw those legendary eyes once again.

But why is Satsuki's Rinnegan different from Nagato's? One is red, the other purple, and it even has something like the Sharingan's tomoe inside...

Did Naruto just say something about "Rinne Sharingan"?

Jiraiya's mind was still in a daze, but that wasn't what he cared about at the moment.

It's the technique itself.

Reincarnation is a technique that can resurrect the dead.

Can the Sage of Six Paths' eyes really control life and death?

The thought exploded in Jiraiya's mind, and then two names instinctively surfaced.

Rope tree, and Kato broken.

Tsunade's younger brother and Tsunade's lover.

Those two dead people were Tsunade's deepest wounds in her life, the root cause of her complete downfall, and the reason she used gambling and alcoholism to numb herself.

If we could bring them back... if we could let Tsunade see them one more time... her broken heart would surely return.

Most definitely.

But—Jiraiya's feelings suddenly became complicated.

In recent years, his interactions with Tsunade have actually revealed some signs of something more.

During his years as Hokage, Tsunade, as his assistant, was always by his side. The two handled government affairs together, discussed decisions together, and worried about the future of Konoha together. During those days, Jiraiya unknowingly discovered—

Tsunade's gaze towards him was somewhat different now.

Sometimes, when he dressed formally and stood in the Hokage's seat to give a speech, Tsunade would come over and say in a casual tone, "You did look a bit like the Hokage today," but the glint in her eyes was impossible to hide.

A few days ago, he casually said, "Tsunade, you look better than usual today." Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then slammed her fist on the table and scolded him for being "an old lecher," but her face was clearly very red.

Jiraiya couldn't understand it.

How many years have he and Tsunade known each other? Decades. They've teamed up, fought together, and faced life and death together. When has Tsunade ever blushed at him?

Could it really be because... he became Hokage?

Jiraiya was completely baffled. Did Tsunade really like men who dreamed of becoming Hokage or who wanted to become Hokage?

Jiraiya didn't even consider the other possibility.

He was completely unaware that in recent years, in order to save face for the Hokage, he had stopped conducting any so-called "research operations".

He hadn't been to those red-light districts and brothels in a long time.

He hadn't looked at those explicit magazines in a long time.

He hadn't done those habits that would make Tsunade frown for a long time, that's all.
