Chapter 159 The Possibility of Resurrection
"Ugh————"
'
As if sensing something, Naruto rolled over, scratched his butt, and had a bit of drool at the corner of his mouth.
Kushina covered her mouth, her loving gaze filled with sadness, afraid that she might accidentally cry out and wake Naruto, who was fast asleep.
But deep down, she desperately wanted to wake Naruto up and tell him that she was his mother.
The Fourth Minato watched this scene with tender eyes, a hint of tears welling up in them.
Minato leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, his gaze gentle.
As someone who has watched the entire Naruto series, Naruto is someone I watched grow up, or rather, someone who grew up alongside me.
Although Naruto has many flaws, this scene has indeed made up for a great regret in his heart.
In the original story, although Naruto met the reanimated Fourth Hokage, he never actually met Kushina; he only saw the chakra she left inside him.
"So cute, just like my son."
After feeling sad for a while, Kushina looked at Naruto sleeping soundly and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Are you very reluctant to leave?"
Minato asked softly, "I have an idea that might revive you. Would you like to give it a try?"
"resurrection?"
The four generations of the couple were all taken aback.
The Fourth Minato stared in astonishment at the miniature version of himself before him: "Is this really possible?"
"It's theoretically possible; in fact, I've had this idea for a while now."
Minato pondered, "Orochimaru created a forbidden technique called the Reanimation Jutsu, which allows one to circumvent lifespan limitations by possessing another's body and abandoning their original one.
"However, the conditions for reincarnation are very strict; the soul of the person to be reincarnated must be compatible."
"Taking over someone else's body—"
The Fourth Minato frowned: "Then let's forget about it."
"Don't rush to refuse. I am you from another world, so I naturally understand your personality."
Minato shook his head and continued to explain, "The reason I say this is because I have discovered an ancient biological weapon. This creature can perfectly adapt to anyone's soul. The sacrifices for your reanimated bodies are this kind of thing."
"In my world, Orochimaru and I have a mentor-student relationship. After I killed Danzo, Orochimaru took over Root, and we took advantage of our positions to start research in this area ahead of time."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Minato and Kushina exchanged bewildered glances.
Is this something that can be said openly and honestly?
"The inspiration for the Reanimation Jutsu comes from the Spirit Transformation Technique and the Impure World Reincarnation. In addition, Orochimaru of this world has a research that allows him to use a cursed seal to house a part of his soul in a suitable target's body. In this way, even if the original body dies, it can be resurrected through the cursed seal."
Judging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's sealing of Orochimaru's hands, the division of the soul should have a strong impact on the original body.
However, the effect of the curse seal should be to seal a part of one's own soul into another person's body.
In the original work, after Orochimaru released the seal of the Shinigami, the souls sealed in his hands automatically returned to his body instead of going directly to the Pure Land.
From this perspective, Orochimaru likely utilized the automatic soul replenishment feature to somehow transfer a small portion of his soul into the cursed seal without compromising his own abilities.
And using this as an anchor point, even if one's physical body dies, one's soul will not return to the Pure Land, but will automatically fill in the part of the soul in the curse seal, just like the soul of the hand returned to the physical body in the original work.
In this way, he can achieve his goal of resurrection simply by occupying the body where the Heavenly Curse Seal is located.
"I've wanted to do this kind of experiment for a long time, but I didn't have a suitable experimental subject. Unlike this world, in my world, influenced by me, Orochimaru-senpai wasn't that depraved. We used criminals and enemies as experimental subjects."
Minato explained, "Besides, the Reanimation Jutsu is an S-rank ninjutsu, and not everyone can learn it easily, but you two should meet the requirements for training it."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Minato and Kushina exchanged a glance.
It has to be said that Minato's words were very tempting to them.
If it were to occupy someone else's body, they would never agree to it, no matter what, from a moral standpoint.
But since Minato can find biological weapons as an alternative, there's no need to worry about moral issues.
If they could, wouldn't they also want to stay by Naruto's side?
The Fourth Minato gave a wry smile: "I've always felt that the dead shouldn't interfere in the world of the living, but after hearing what you said, I'm really wavering."
"If it can be done, why not do it?"
Minato said nonchalantly, "There's more than one way to revive people in this world. Sunagakure has the Reanimation Jutsu, so they can not only revive a person, but also give life to a puppet."
"Kusagakure has the Dragon Life Reincarnation bloodline, which allows one life to be exchanged for another. In addition, the legendary Rinnegan also has the innate ability of reincarnation."
"However, all of these methods require the life of the caster as a sacrifice, and if the method I'm talking about really works, then we'll be making a fortune."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Minato looked at Kushina.
Kushina looked at the sleeping Naruto, her gaze hardening: "I want to try!"
"It seems I need to go find Orochimaru again."
Minato smiled with delight. This experiment was of great value to him, and it was one of the reasons why he resurrected the fourth generation couple.
"What about the Fourth Hokage? Want to give it a try?" Minato asked, looking at the Fourth Hokage.
"I want to try it too!"
The Fourth Minato nodded. He could have survived the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage.
Even though Kushina died, he chose to stay with her.
But if Kushina were to be resurrected, wouldn't his death have been in vain?
"In that case, I'll go see Orochimaru again. As for Naruto, you can talk to him yourselves."
.
As he spoke, Minato vanished in a flash, leaving the space to the family of three.
Shortly after Minato left, Naruto, who was lying on the bed, seemed to sense someone beside him and groggily opened his eyes.
Naruto was taken aback when he saw a strange woman standing by his bedside.
"Huh? Who are you, big sister? What are you doing in my room?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the face of the Fourth Minato behind Kushina, and he was startled again: "Minato? You've gotten bigger again?"
"puff--"
Kushina chuckled, her eyes glistening with tears. She spoke softly, in the gentlest of tones, calling her son's name: "Naruto, I'm your mom!"
Naruto was stunned for two seconds, then disbelief appeared in his eyes.
"Mother?"
Kushina pursed her lips, her heart filled with happiness. If it weren't for the limitations of her Edo Tensei body, she would surely be in tears right now.
