Chapter 198 Resurrection
Chapter 198 Resurrection
"I'm finally back."
Having not returned to Daming Prefecture for over a year, Hua Ling couldn't help but sigh, but she missed her life outside even more, and all the little moments she shared with Zhi Shui.
Ever since the incident at Xidi, whenever they went to other places, Zhishui never let her leave his side, and he even built a home for the two of them.
She wanted to give up her position as daimyo and live with him outside, but Shisui's sense of responsibility made her hide this idea; it was enough to keep some beautiful memories in her heart.
Soon, the pile of documents to process left Hua Ling no time to think about these things. "She shouldn't have come back to be a slave!"
After a grumbling, she resigned herself to her fate and picked up a document to read.
Three days later, after finishing the last document, Hua Lingdong didn't want to move an inch.
For the past three days, Zhishui has stayed by her side, watching her handle various matters.
After these three days of reflection, Shisui chose to keep those thoughts deep in his heart, afraid to mention them. The memories of the past year were enough to sustain him for a very long time. "The Land of Fire needs Flower Spirit, and it's time for him to leave."
"Zhishui, won't you stay a couple more days?" Hualing knew this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon, and she still couldn't help but want to persuade her to stay.
Hua Ling realized that her desire to keep him was too obvious, so she pouted and spoke again, "I mean, you've only been back for a short time, so you can rest for a few more days. There's no need to rush back."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Excellency, but I have stayed long enough. It is time to go back. The village needs me."
Hearing this, even though Hua Ling was reluctant, she respected his decision.
"Then... take care!"
"By the way, I accidentally chipped your knife last time, so consider this knife a return gift."
Hua Ling walked up to Zhi Shui and pulled out a short blade from behind her.
"Daming..." Before Shisui could refuse, Hualing shoved the knife into his hand. "Take it. Consider it payment for taking care of me during this time."
"Alright." Shisui gripped the knife in his hand slightly. It was good that they were even.
Watching his departing figure, Hua Ling seemed to have lost her soul, completely devoid of energy.
She still couldn't understand why Shisui seemed like a different person after returning. They were so close before she came back. Perhaps she was less important to Konoha Village.
"Forget it, forced love is never sweet."
"All good things must come to an end. Let's leave it at that!"
Despite her thoughts, Hua Ling still couldn't shake off the feeling and unconsciously called out Zhi Shui's name every day, which made Qing Huwei look resentful.
After Shisui finally returned to Konoha, he took over the position, but he was called the wrong name several times a day. It was so difficult for him.
The Hokage's Office in Konoha Village.
Minato Namikaze, holding the intelligence report in his hand, said, "Shisui, you've been acting strangely ever since you came back from Daimyo's place. I'm giving you three days off to rest and recuperate."
"Yes, Fourth Hokage." Shisui replied and left the office.
Watching Shisui leave, Minato Namikaze sighed and shook his head.
Who would have thought that the 'Instantaneous Stillness' who strikes fear into the hearts of enemies almost failed an A-level mission? If it weren't for his teammates' heroic efforts to complete the mission, who knows what the consequences would have been if word got out.
He was even more curious about how Shisui had become like this. Was it really as his wife Kushina had said, "that he has someone he likes in the Daimyo's territory?"
Shisui sat on the roof, holding a knife and staring intently, seemingly lost in thought.
Inside a house in the wilderness.
"Finally, we've gathered them all." Uchiha Ye Zhen hadn't expected that reviving someone who had been dead for so long would be so troublesome.
Unlike someone who has just died, you can't simply use a 'resurrection spell' on their corpse to bring them back to life.
It's really troublesome to have someone who's been dead for so long, needing a catalyst, a new body, and a soul-summoning ritual.
Despite the trouble, she finally got it done.
Having just finished summoning the soul, Uchiha Ye was feeling somewhat exhausted and decided to rest for a while before using the 'Resurrection Technique'.
Before her stood a puppet. Compared to the previous puppet, which had been somewhat stiff, this one now possessed a soul and had become lifelike, looking as if it were asleep, waiting to be awakened.
After resting for half an hour, Uchiha Ye opened her eyes and began to wave her hands. The green light that emanated from her seemed to have a mind of its own, drilling into the puppet in front of her.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and Uchiha Ye stopped, casually casting a 'sleep jutsu'.
She went to Nohara Rin's side, checked her pulse and breathing, and sure enough, she had come back to life.
Thankfully, this is just a game, otherwise it would be truly outrageous. But even in a real world, there are countless strange ninjutsu techniques, including several types of ninjutsu for resurrecting people.
However, Uchiha Yoh felt quite accomplished in reviving Nohara Rin; could she say that she had ended the Fourth Shinobi World War?
Before leaving the cabin, she casually set up a barrier and used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to arrive at the base where Obito was currently staying.
"White Zetsu, hasn't Obito returned yet?" As soon as she arrived, she saw White Zetsu and couldn't wait to ask.
Bai Jue didn't say anything, but pointed behind her.
Uchiha Ye instantly understood, and when he turned around, he saw Obito.
Before she could speak, Obito asked first, "Are your eyes better?"
"Yes, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I'm about to leave." Uchiha Ye was very grateful to Obito.
Although they didn't get along well at first, they became very harmonious and loving later on.
"You're leaving?" Obito felt a surge of frustration when he heard that she was leaving.
"Yes, but to thank you for taking care of me over the past year, I have prepared a gift for you. Come with me."
Uchiha Ye was completely unaware of Obito's strange behavior. He grabbed Obito's sleeve and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at a small wooden hut.
"Obito, the gift is inside. Go in yourself!"
Unfortunately, Obito showed no joy. He didn't want the gift; he wanted her to stay by his side.
Seeing that he didn't move, Uchiha Ye simply opened the door and pushed him inside. "Obito, I guarantee you'll love this gift. You definitely won't be disappointed."
"Be happy!"
After saying this, she closed the door of the cabin, giving them their own space, which was incredibly thoughtful.
Before leaving, she dispelled the 'sleeping spell' on Nohara Rin and then disappeared from the spot. This time, she wouldn't listen to anyone.
"White Zetsu, Obito, come back and give him this."
"I'm leaving now, but I'll come back to see you when I have time."
After she finished speaking, she glanced around again and left without lingering. A void in her heart remained, which she selectively ignored.
Uchiha Yoh stopped in a small town and stayed at an inn.
Lying in bed, she scrolled through her character panel. "This year has been a complete waste!"
She needs so many ninjutsu points to advance to the Nascent Soul stage; where is she going to find so many ninjutsu techniques to learn?
Although I learned a lot of ninjutsu from Root, I am only at the third level of the Golden Core stage.
"There are so many more floors, where can I get ninjutsu points?"
Uchiha Ye leaned to the side, propping his head up as if deep in thought.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, as if she had come up with something.
"Right, she can go to another ninja village to learn ninjutsu."
To infiltrate, we need to arrange for an identity information that leaves no trace, and this task will be entrusted to Hua Ling.
Uchiha Ye informed Hua Ling, then lay down to prepare for sleep.
She closed her eyes, and suddenly Obito's image popped into her mind, startling her so much that she sat bolt upright.
"That's terrifying. How could she have thought of this guy? It must have been an accident just now."
Uchiha Yoh lay down again, this time thinking of Obito again, but also of Nohara Rin. He figured they must be happily together now.
With this thought in mind, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
