Chapter 44: Resurrection!
Chapter 44: Resurrection!
"Appear!"
The body enveloped by the Forbidden Jutsu: Eternal Slumber's Breath rose once more from the depths of the earth.
Unlike before, this time, Huyi Xuan Yue did not hesitate and formed the tiger seal with both hands. With a low shout, he chanted, "Forbidden Jutsu: Release!"
The black membrane covering his body instantly lit up.
Soon, the black membrane separated and transformed into tadpole-like black talismans. They swiftly moved across the surface of his body and gathered at his chest, forming a black magatama.
Accompanying a leap, the black magatama detached from his body and rose into the air. Under Huyi Xuan Yue's watchful gaze, it rapidly evaporated until it completely vanished.
Huyi Xuan Yue knew that this signified the complete disappearance of the Forbidden Jutsu: Eternal Slumber's Breath.
Thump! Thump!
The sound of a powerful heartbeat reverberated through the Divine Ruins Valley.
It was as if a terrifying presence had awoken from its slumber.
In that instant, all the insects, birds, and beasts in the valley fell silent, and an eerie quietness enveloped the entire area.
Huyi Xuan Yue lowered his head to look.
His body, now unobstructed, came fully into view.
It was as if the most heart-pounding battle was still ongoing.
His body was riddled with countless wounds, some so severe that his chest caved in, exposing bones and flesh, and blood seeped relentlessly from various parts of his body.
Even so, Huyi Xuan Yue still felt an overwhelming oppressive force emanating from within his body, a force that seemed capable of challenging the heavens and the earth.
Moreover...
The chakra within Huyi Xuan Yue's Impure World Reincarnation body activated on its own. It was as if a fierce beast had locked onto its prey, and his body reacted instinctively without his control.
"This is my true body!"
Even though he was severely injured, his body still teemed with vitality.
Huyi Xuan Yue watched as his heart beat, his blood flowed, and his skin retained its healthy glow. Anticipation shone in his eyes.
"It's time."
Knowing that this state wouldn't last long, he swiftly formed hand seals.
"Spirit Transformation Jutsu!"
After a moment, Huyi Xuan Yue completed the final rabbit hand seal.
As the jutsu took effect, Huyi Xuan Yue felt a powerful acceleration descend upon his soul.
It was as if an infinite force had taken hold of him, ready to instantaneously transport him to wherever he desired.
Huyi Xuan Yue's eyes glinted, and with a thought, his soul instantly left his body.
Ignoring the rift to the underworld that had appeared above him, Huyi Xuan Yue's soul accelerated under the influence of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu. With unimaginable momentum, he broke free from his restraints and, disregarding the distance, descended upon his long-awaited true body.
It was like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Swish!" Huyi Xuan Yue's soul merged flawlessly with his body, blending together without the slightest hindrance.
The next second...
The index finger of his uninjured right hand twitched.
Then, as if sensing something, his finger curled at the command of a long-forgotten central nervous system instruction. Following the index finger, the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger all moved in succession.
Rumble.
Soil fell through the gaps between his fingers.
His fingers curled in, carrying the soil, and his right hand slowly rose to meet his eyes, which were also slowly opening.
Huyi Xuan Yue opened his eyes.
Staring at his palm, he felt the mud between his fingers.
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth and gradually widened.
"Yes! This is it!"
Huyi Xuan Yue's other hand clutched his heart.
Thump! Thump!
For the first time since his Impure World Reincarnation, he clearly felt his heart pounding within his chest.
Moreover, looking down at the fresh blood on his palms, Huyi Xuan Yue couldn't contain his laughter any longer and roared, "The taste of blood! The sensation of pain!"
"Hahahaha!!! This is my true body! I can finally unleash the brilliance that belongs to Huyi!!! Hahaha..."
Only those who have experienced it themselves can truly understand.
At this moment,
Yuyi Xuan Yue clenched his fists, and a surge of powerful energy burst forth.
Even though he was severely injured, with his chakra reduced to less than a tenth of its peak, and his body was riddled with unbearable pain.
He still wanted to savor this feeling!
This feeling that was completely different from the Impure World Reincarnation, a feeling of being truly alive!
After a long while,
Yuyi Xuan Yue finally calmed down. Looking at the fresh blood seeping out of his wounds, he shook his head and reached out to grab the black cloak, draping it over himself.
After he finished, he lifted his head to look at the Impure World Reincarnation body still standing before him.
Yes.
The Impure World Reincarnation body had not dissipated yet, and the true identity of the sacrifice was now revealed.
Moreover, the Spirit Transformation Jutsu he had performed was still maintaining its effect.
Yuyi Xuan Yue understood the reason behind this.
After carefully studying the scroll on the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, he realized that this jutsu did not cause the soul to completely detach from the body, unlike what most people imagined.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had suspected as much before.
After all, if the soul could truly roam freely outside the body without any restrictions, then Kato wouldn't have ended up dying, and he could have at least continued to exist in the form of a soul for some time.
Additionally, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kato could have easily used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to break free from the Impure World Reincarnation and not just meet with Tsunade briefly before returning to the underworld.
In reality, the Spirit Transformation Jutsu had its limitations.
When the soul leaves the body to perform tasks like assassination, possession, or information gathering, a small fragment of the soul remains within the body, acting as a coordinate anchor to pull the soul back and prevent it from losing its way and being unable to sense the location of its physical body.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, the reason why Kato's soul wasn't pulled back to the underworld after leaving his Impure World Reincarnation body was that, fundamentally, his soul would always return to that body no matter how far he roamed.
The same principle applied now.
A tiny fragment of Yuyi Xuan Yue's soul remained within the Impure World Reincarnation body.
And when the duration of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu ended, his main soul would uncontrollably return to the Impure World Reincarnation body.
Yuyi Xuan Yue couldn't modify this aspect even if he wanted to.
Because the part he wanted to change was the foundation of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, and altering it would essentially turn it into a different soul technique altogether.
Even if he could succeed, the difficulty would be no less than developing an entirely new soul technique from scratch.
"So,"
Yuyi Xuan Yue shook his head.
"Question Orochimaru, understand Orochimaru, become Orochimaru."
It was best to deal with the immediate critical issues first and leave the rest for later.
With a determined expression, Yuyi Xuan Yue made up his mind. Before the duration of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu ended, he wasted no more time. He clapped his hands together and coldly declared:
"Sever!"
In an instant!
His soul was torn apart.
A small fragment of his soul detached itself from the main soul.
Yuyi Xuan Yue lifted his head, gritting his teeth to endure the pain of soul fragmentation, and once again looked at the Impure World Reincarnation body.
Rustle, rustle.
The sound of fluttering paper echoed.
The soul fragment of Yuyi Xuan Yue completely replaced the main soul and was sucked into the underworld.
The Impure World Reincarnation body collapsed with a loud thud.
In its place was the corpse of an Oto shinobi whom Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't recognize.
"It's over."
Yuyi Xuan Yue raised his head, and his true hand, now belonging to him, rose to block the glaring sunlight.
He felt relieved, knowing that the threat from the underworld had finally vanished.
A brilliant smile spread across his face.
No matter how many twists and turns he had encountered along the way,
He, Yuyi Xuan Yue, had truly resurrected!
