Chapter 18 - Sarutobi Biwako: Hiruzen Remarried?

A snap of the fingers, and a flash of light.

The Pechies, who had been training for years, shed their pig forms, transforming into humans.

The four Pechies, newly successful in their transformations, excitedly touched their bodies, their faces filled with emotion.

"Now that my identity has been proven, let's get down to business. What wishes do you have? I can fulfill any wish, no matter what it is..."

Mu Yang's words were like a burning torch, igniting the desires in the hearts of the five people in the room.

Wishes? Regrets?

How could they not have regrets to mend or wishes to fulfill after decades of life?

Now, there was a chance to mend regrets and a chance to fulfill wishes. How could anyone not be excited?!

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and reached for his waist, intending to take out his pipe and pouch to smoke and calm his surging emotions, but he grasped at nothing.

For a moment, he was stunned, realizing he couldn't smoke because of the bandages on his head, so he hadn't brought any.

He smacked his lips, lost in thought for a moment. The surging emotions within him had calmed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Mu Yang.

"Since we're reviving a large number of people, are there any discounts?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen attempted to haggle.

Shimura Danzo's eyebrows twitched. He sensed a threat in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

Revive? Who did Hiruzen want to revive?

A series of names flashed through Shimura Danzo's mind, and his face gradually paled.

Mu Yang smiled slightly, "No, there aren't!"

As a middleman, he made his money on the price difference.

"If I give you a discount, won't I end up making less money?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen clicked his tongue, wanting to reach for his pipe again, and wiped his hand on his waist. "Minato, go get the Scroll of Seals."

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo raised his head, opened his mouth as if to say something, but hesitated. He wanted to speak, then stopped, trying to organize his thoughts, but failed... He just stared blankly at Namikaze Minato's receding back.

"Hiruzen, who are you planning to revive?" Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu asked.

"Let's see how much the Scroll of Seals is worth. We'll figure out how many people we can revive, and then consider who to bring back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite rational at this moment. If the Scroll of Seals was valuable enough, he would revive more people, perhaps with some personal agendas. If it wasn't worth much, he would revive those who could provide assistance.

After the short conversation, the room fell silent. The silence lasted for two or three minutes before Namikaze Minato returned to the room and handed the Scroll of Seals to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"How much can we get for it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, holding up the Scroll of Seals.

Mu Yang patted the surface of the Scroll of Seals and asked, "Is there a backup?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "No."

Mu Yang nodded slightly, silently reciting in his mind.

Replicate.

The Scroll of Seals split in two.

Exchange.

One copy of the Scroll of Seals disappeared.

The Scroll of Seals contained extremely dangerous forbidden techniques. Although the number wasn't large, the quality was quite high, so the value...

"Four million two hundred thousand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently calculated, "Exchange the knowledge of ninjutsu in my mind."

"Two million one hundred and eighteen thousand."

Muyang raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

As expected of Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, he possessed a vast amount of ninjutsu.

"A total of six million three hundred and eighty thousand. After deducting the cost for the four of you, it's enough to revive five people..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and then read out the chosen resurrection list, "Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Biwako."

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo felt his vision go black.

Mission: Become Hokage.

Difficulty: Hard.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, mission difficulty adjusted.

Difficulty: Hell.

"Resurrection requires a bit of bodily tissue as a medium," Muyang said, holding four resurrection coins.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't speak, instead, he walked straight out of the Hokage Office, gathering a grave-robbing squad and heading directly to the cemetery.

"What about you?"

Muyang tossed the resurrection coins, turning to look at the other four.

"I don't have any money!" Namikaze Minato said with a smile.

He did have a wish he wanted to fulfill, but unfortunately, he was broke.

To be precise, the little money he had wasn't enough to realize his wish.

Not to mention, after the First and Second Hokage were resurrected and returned, perhaps his wish could be fulfilled without spending any money.

So… he wasn't in a hurry.

His gaze shifted…

"I don't have any money, and I don't have any particularly strong wishes to fulfill either."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged glances and said in unison.

My gaze shifted, locking onto Shimura Danzo.

Don't tell me, you, who dreams of becoming Hokage, doesn't have a wish you want to fulfill.

Sensing Muyang's attention, Shimura Danzo lifted his somewhat listless eyes to meet his gaze. Two large words were apparent in Danzo's eyes:

Poor! I don't have money to achieve my dream! Poverty has ruined me!

The dream was over, shattered.

In an instant, Muyang understood.

As the leader of Root, Danzo wasn't lacking in ninjutsu, but those techniques all came from Konoha's collection.

And the ninjutsu in Konoha's collection had just been converted into money and spent by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What a pity.

Muyang shook his head, retracted his gaze, and waited for the excavation team to return.

Two quarters of an hour later...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, accompanied by four Anbu members carrying jars, returned to the room. The four Anbu members placed the jars on the floor and then exited the room.

Muyang tossed the golden resurrection coins into the jars. Accompanied by the sound of the coins hitting the earthen jar walls, a golden light suddenly burst from the jars, quickly expanding into a shimmering cocoon of light.

The Pure Land of Bliss.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and silently gazed at the four souls who had left the Pure Land and returned to the human world.

Hokage Office.

As the soul was injected, the light cocoon shattered, revealing the figures within.

From left to right, they were…

Wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit, with red layered armor on the outside. The layered armor on the left shoulder bore the emblem of the Senju clan. He had red iron wristbands on both wrists, a Konoha forehead protector, and black hair like ink: Senju Hashirama.

With silver hair and red eyes, a face-covering iron forehead protector, three red marks on his cheeks, wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit with blue layered armor on the outside, and a white feathered collar connected to the back, covering both shoulders: Senju Tobirama.

Silver-white long hair, tied in a ponytail, with a white triangular armband on his left shoulder: Hatake Sakumo.

Sarutobi Biwako, with a serious expression.

"Hmm? What's going on?" Senju Hashirama scratched the back of his head, looking around in confusion.

Senju Tobirama stretched his arms and legs. "It seems we've been resurrected, Aniki."

"Revival?" Hatake Sakumo looked down at his hands, his eyes filled with a daze.

Sarutobi Biwako turned her head to look at the excited Sarutobi Hiruzen, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Did that bastard Hiruzen remarry?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's excited mood froze, suddenly remembering that he was currently in his younger form.

The touching reunion was shattered by a single sentence.

"Pfft!"

The few people who knew what was going on burst out laughing.
