Chapter 332: Overwhelming Sensation II

Chapter 332 - Overwhelming Sensation IIIt wasn't long until everyone pulled out more chairs and sat down.

Minato began, "After the Nine-Tails attack, we awakened near the edge of the village. I know it sounds confusing, but someone brought us back, and they restored our chakra and memories."

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"For starters," Minato continued, "we didn't want to alarm the village or anyone in it in case we were being manipulated. So I had to find out what had happened."

"That's when they came into my office," Tsunade finished.

"Yes," he continued. "When we got there, Tsunade was just as shocked as we were. She called the other elders for advice since something like this had never happened before."

'I knew I should have trained yesterday instead,' Alice thought to herself.

"Since Hiromu and Koharu were away," Hiruzen addressed, "I was the only one to confirm it was really you two."

"I assume you guys conducted several tests," Alice said.

Kushina confirmed, making a hint at Alice's perceptiveness.

All the tests came back clear. Their chakra levels were stable, there weren't any signs of genjutsu or seals on them, and neither were there any wounds on their bodies that signified their deaths thirteen years ago.

Kushina then leaned in closely to her son and said, "We were worried about you, which is why we wanted to see how you were doing."

Who could blame the two parents when their last moments involved them holding their newborn son behind a monstrous devil fox?

"I'm actually fine," Naruto said, hoping this wasn't a dream. "It's just a lot to take in, is all."

Minato continued, "We wanted to find out who was behind this. Because if someone could bring the dead back, it's alarming, and we can't ignore that. For all we know, us being here might not last."

Alice sat silently in contemplation, piecing everything together in her mind.

'Could Arthur be responsible for this?' she wondered. 'Or is it because of what we've been doing?'

She held back her assumptions; it felt unlikely that Orochimaru orchestrated such resurrection schemes. The Sannin was notorious for the Reanimation technique, but even he wouldn't—or rather couldn't—resurrect Kushina and Minato, let alone fully bring them back from the dead.

A feat like that would require extreme measures, like using the Rinnegan. Yet there was currently only one pair of Rinnegan in existence, and they belonged to Nagato.

Even if the leader of the Akatsuki wanted to resurrect someone, he wouldn't have targeted these two and then brought them back to their village. That simply wouldn't make sense.

This had to be Arthur's work.

'I think I should contact Jada...'

Tsunade's tone shifted as she addressed the group. "We need to conduct more re

The idea that fallen characters had returned was appealing. Yet not knowing how it was possible that they returned was a nagging feeling.

Why was it that all these characters had returned, but not certain ones, like Kiba Inuzuka and Iruka Umino?

Whoever was responsible for this, they were about to get the attention of the whole world.
