Chapter 252: 245. The Seal of Reincarnation Part-2
Whoosh...
As Izuna was explaining the intricate details of Fuinjutsu to the group, three shadows flicker beside him.
Hmm...
Izuna notices them and nods his head.
"You are here, which means..."
"Leader! That task you gave us is complete."
Wrath takes out a giant scroll and passes it to Izuna.
"Good!"
Izuna nods his head.
"You three can stay and watch the entire process"
The rest of the people also notice the three and nods their heads. They are already aware of Izuna's organization, though they do not know about their identity.
Izuna turns to Tsunade and the group.
"Since everything is here, let's start the process."
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
He takes out seven giant scrolls from his storage. The scrolls paired with the new scroll have various Fuinjutsu seals on them and are almost the size of a person.
Swish... swish... swish...
Izuna infuses some of his chakra into the scroll and they float in the air.
Fwoosh...
Izuna waves his hand and the scroll lands on the Eight Trigram nodes around the seal.
Swish... swish... swish...
Izuna makes some hand signs and slams his palm on one of the seals.
Whoosh...
An enormous amount of chakra flows through the seal and connects with the eight nodes.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
The scroll opens up to reveal a Kanji for 'One'. Similarly, the rest of the scrolls also open up to reveal Kanji for 'Two', 'Three', 'Four' to Eight.
Wham...
The chakra in the scroll resonates with each other and the Kanji letter glows with different chakra colors.
Phew...
Izuna takes a deep breath.
"The first step is complete."
Next, he infuses some chakra in the Sin Seal.
Swoosh...
Two large coffins appear in front of the group.
Hmm...
The rest of the group are flabbergasted to see the coffins. Izuna removes the lids of the coffins and takes out two bodies.
He places the bodies in two different black circles in the white half of the Tai-chi symbol of the central node.
"They are..."
The expression of the rest of the group changes as they recognize the two bodies.
Swoosh...
Tsunade instantly flickers in front of Izuna and grabs his collar.
"IZUNA UCHIHA!! What's the meaning of this?"
Her expression turns scary as she subconsciously riles up her chakra.
At the sidelines, the expression of Sakuma, Kakashi, and Guy also changes. They have a hint of shock on their faces. Only Mei, Shisui, and Itachi are a little calm.
"Sensei!"
Kakashi mutters as sorrow, grief, and remorse appear in his eyes.
Haaah...
Izuna takes a deep breath and places his hand on Tsunade's shoulder.
"Calm down, Tsunade!"
He releases some of his chakra and suppresses her chakra.
"Listen to me first!"
Humph...
Tsunade calms down a little and glares at Izuna.
"Mind explaining why you pilfered the grave of Kushina and Minato. Even if you ignore the fact that Minato was the Fourth Hokage, at least you should respect the peace of your teachers."
Tsunade's anger flares again.
"How will you face Naruto in the future? You should never disturb the dead."
SWOOSH...
Izuna riles up his chakra, and instantly an immense pressure bears down on the group.
"I don't have time for this emotional drama, just inspect Minato and Kushina's body."
He nudges Tsunade towards the center of the seal.
Humph...
Tsunade snorts and approaches the seal. She places her hand on Kushina's body to check her condition.
'Kushina has grown up under the care of her grandmother and was like a younger sister to her. If not for Izuna's identity, she would have punched out the daylight out of him.'
Lub... Dub... Lub... Dub...
Tsunade feels a very faint heartbeat.
"What?!"
Her expression turns grim, and she releases a loud cry. She quickly turns towards Minato's body.
Lub... Dub... Lub... Dub...
Similarly, she could feel a faint heartbeat from Minato's body.
The rest of the group is startled to hear Tsunade's cry. Mei quickly approaches her and asks her.
"Tsunade-san, is something wrong with them?"
Tsunade takes a deep breath and turns to Izuna.
"Minato and Kushina are... Alive! NO! They are in a near-death situation. But how could it be?"
Her gazes penetrate through Izuna trying to seek the truth behind the matter.
"Very Well! Then watch carefully..."
Izuna makes some hand signs and dispels the illusion.
Fwoosh...
The rest of the group turns towards Minato's and Kushina's bodies and notices various sealing chains erupting out from their body.
The chains are holding a mass of ethereal energy together. If not for the chains, that ethereal mass would have escaped already.
As the group identifies the ethereal mass, the trio of Kakashi, Shisui, and Itachi is able to see much more.
A drop of tear falls from Kakashi's eyes as he mutters.
"Sensei! You are alive."
The trio can see the outline of the ethereal mass. It looks exactly like Minato and Kushina.
Izuna points towards the ethereal mass and remarks.
"These are the souls of Minato-san and Kushina Nee-san. Minato-san used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal the Yin half of Kurama and thus his soul was contracted to Shinigami.
As for Kushina Nee-san, if not for my seal, her soul would have already passed away to Pure Land."
Numerous emotions fluctuated through the eyes of the group as they stare at the scene. However, all of them are amazed by Izuna's response.
"So... so... Can you save them?" Sakuma questions him.
"Yes!" Izuna nods his head.
"If it was a natural death, I would have been helpless to do anything; but since I was present during the time of their death, I was able to save them using a Forbidden Jutsu of my Mangekyo Sharingan."
Izuna mixes the truth with lies.
Earlier, he had a conversation with Minato and Kushina and they decided that it would be unsafe to disclose the secret of Grimoire.
"I... I see..." Tsunade nods her head as she calms down.
"It took me ten years to research a method to fuse their soul and body."
Izuna walks towards the central Tai-Chi seal and infuses a large amount of Nature energy as he explains to the group.
"This revival technique is based on the Forbidden Technique 'Edo Tensei' of the Second Hokage.
Edo Tensei summons the soul of the dead from the Pure Land. It requires the body of a living human as a sacrifice to host the summoned soul. This body acts as a medium to connect the Pure Land and the living world.
However, there are various flaws with 'Edo Tensei'. Firstly, the strength of the soul summoned is nowhere near as powerful as it was during the time of their death. Secondly, the body of the medium turns into ashes and dust, which are inorganic in Nature..."
Izuna allows the group to digest the information.
All the preparations are complete. He asks Kushina's and Minato's souls to move inside the white circles present in the Black half of the Tai-Chi symbol as he continues his explanation.
"However, I was able to remove these limitations thanks to Orochimaru's research on 'Edo Tensei'. Paired with my research, I came up with this technique. I call it..."
Swoosh...
Izuna enters Sage Mode.
A cyan clock of Nature energy appears around his body. There is a giant Magatama on his front and back.
"Yin-Yang Technique: Summoning: Heavenly Pure World Reincarnation"
Swish... swish... swish...
He makes multiple consecutive hand signs and slams his palm on a Kanji seal for 'Balance'.
Fwoosh...
The entire seal lits up with a cyan glow and the surrounding Nature energy pours into the seal.
"Yin and Yang represent the Dualism of Nature. How the two contrary forces are complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world.
The body of a living being represents Yang, while their soul represents Yin. Now, I have to search for a balance between Yin and Yang.
Therefore, those white and black nodes which you see in the Yang and Yin Half are the balance nodes. The souls are placed in the white node of the Yang Half since the soul is seeking a balance with the body. Similarly, the body is placed in the Black node of the Yin Half since the body is seeking a balance with the soul.
My body will act as a conduit and will transfer this massive amount of Nature energy to their body and soul. So, I have to focus the entirety of my concentration on the process lest it may fail. So, stay on guard everyone."
The rest of the group raises their guard to the max and focuses on the process.
Swoosh...
A similar seal appears around Izuna's naval region and his body floats atop the central node.
Woosh... woosh... woosh...
The seals with the tailed-beasts chakra light up and release large amounts of chakra towards Izuna.
Fwoosh...
Izuna's body absorbs the chakra of the Eight-Tailed beast and eight small Magatama symbols appear on his chakra cloak beneath the giant Magatama.
Swoosh... swoosh...
Numerous changes occur on Izuna's chakra cloak as more and more seals appear on his body.
Swirl...
The Sin seal activates and more totems and seals erupt from it. These seals merge with his cloak and stabilize the massive amount of chakra.
With the Sin Seal as a medium, numerous strings of Izuna's chakra connect with Kushina's and Minato's body.
Shoom...
The Tai-Chi symbols rotate slowly and a bright glow appears in its center.
The rest of the group closes their eyes because of the blinding light.
Whoosh...
The process lasts for five minutes and the bright glow fades away.
Haah... haah...
Izuna breathes heavily, and his body falls to the ground.
Swoosh...
Mei immediately catches and hugs him with a worried expression. Izuna's face is pressed in between two large mounds.
A smile appears on his face as he weakly raises a thumb.
"I am fine... just a little exhausted. Just hold me like this for a few minutes and I will recover."
Mm...
Mei nods her head, but soon understands Izuna's intention.
A blush appears on her face, but she quickly hides her embarrassment.
"Is it successful?!"
Tsunade asks in trepidation.
"Izuna-kun succeeded."
A sweet voice falls in their ear as Kushina slowly opens her eyes.
Kakashi and Tsunade immediately flicker beside them and help Minato and Kushina.
"We are alright!"
Minato nods his head as he sits up.
"Izuna-kun is successful."
