Chapter 798

Thinking that guy might have run into some danger, he felt the time couldn't keep being delayed; once he sent the Slug Sage back, that guy should be able to return.

"Let's go, we'll head down first. Later you guys set up a barrier so people don't come over."

After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he instantly flashed toward that open ground; as for the barrier he mentioned, that was Orochimaru's area of expertise.

Anyway, it was just to prevent certain people from suddenly coming to cause trouble. Even if someone did cause trouble, it wouldn't interrupt things, but other accidents wouldn't be pleasant either.

"The Four Red Yang Formation should work, but I'll need someone to help."

Orochimaru looked at the current terrain and decided the Four Red Yang Formation was the more reassuring choice.

But operating it required four people. Although he could use Shadow Clones, there were plenty of idle people here.

"Kakashi-sensei, Shikamaru, and Itachi-senpai—you three form the barrier together with Orochimaru. Naruto and Sasuke watch from the side; if there are any peeping toms or saboteurs, just kill them on the spot!"

Lin Cheng found a spot to stand, made arrangements for the barrier and the people staying behind, then leaned against Hashirama's body and prepared to begin.

"Then let's begin, Four Red Yang Formation!"

Orochimaru's chakra erupted in an instant. A barrier that originally required four Kage-level powerhouses to deploy could now, with his own chakra supply, simply take a few people helping to keep it stable to take shape.

Seeing it really completed, Orochimaru was the first to smile.

This was actually the first time he had demonstrated a change in chakra, and deep down he felt even more awe at the power of knowledge.

"Now it's our turn. Slug will replenish my life consumption and Sage Art for me, but I'll need Hashirama-senpai to help. You few put on cloaks first, then stand at each position."

Lin Cheng raised a finger, and five wooden barrels appeared in front of him—this was the isolation method he'd thought of to avoid embarrassment.

Clothes—who knows if the cloaks would still be draped on them when they transformed into living people.

With this many people around, if there was any exposure it would be so awkward meeting later.

After all, from now on everyone would be meeting often.

"Alright then, I'm going to start."

A palm-sized slug appeared on Lin Cheng's shoulder. Lin Cheng gripped one hand tightly with Senju Hashirama, while his other hand suddenly began forming hand seals.

This was his first time forming hand seals. Although the speed was fast, the few people outside the Four Red Yang Formation still saw it.

They had always assumed Lin Cheng only needed a finger-snap to use any ninjutsu, but with this situation now, they understood without needing to be told.

Because this jutsu was just too difficult!

"Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life!"

The Rinnegan manifested in an instant. After Lin Cheng formed the seals, five portions of chakra and life aura surged out together, locking onto the souls of those five Reanimation victims.

The extraction speed was so fast that Senju Hashirama almost failed to react. Fortunately, with physical strength and Sage Art power being supplied simultaneously, the jutsu didn't run into problems.

And at this moment, inside the wooden barrels, the five people's bodies turned to dust in an instant, then, with their souls as the foundation, the sound of heartbeats gradually emerged, and their entire bodies rapidly coalesced.

"You brat, you absolutely cannot have anything happen to you!"

Senju Hashirama, with Sage Mode activated, continued transmitting chakra to Lin Cheng. Right now he was afraid that one shortfall would cause this kid to collapse.

Simultaneously resurrecting five people, including the strongest and longest-existing Senju Tobirama—this was a tremendous test for Lin Cheng's small frame and his chakra amount, which was probably just barely reaching quasi-Kage level.

"Hashirama-senpai, you're practically on par with the Ten-Tails."

Although Lin Cheng's complexion was incomparably pale, he actually wasn't in that bad a state.

With Senju Hashirama's chakra output going wild right now, he suddenly wanted to say something to the guy to ease the atmosphere.

"You think I'm a Tailed Beast? Focus your attention for me. If anything happens, I'll go to the Pure Land, find you, and give you a good beating!"

Annoyed by this kid's habit of talking nonsense at the wrong moment, Senju Hashirama, although angry, had no other option besides once again speeding up the transmission of chakra.

Fortunately, the process of this jutsu actually wasn't that strenuous. After those five people's bodies fully became living people, Lin Cheng's eyes also slowly closed.

"So sleepy, Hashirama-senpai, let me sleep for a bit."

The output of chakra and vitality stopped, and Lin Cheng's voice gradually grew faint.

(Alright, alright) He was truly sleepy, especially wanting to get some sleep.

His fingers loosened, and Lin Cheng directly lay down into Senju Hashirama's arm. That pale complexion nearly scared Senju Hashirama out of his wits.

"It's fine, it's fine, I won't die. I'm going back to sleep too, so sleepy."

The Slug looked at the emotionally agitated Senju Hashirama, briefly explained the situation, then returned to the pet space.

It had only just now realized that this pet space was truly not bad.

Not only could it sleep comfortably, there were also areas planted full of vegetables and fruits. It had secretly gone to eat a fruit before, and the taste was truly wonderful!

Now it would go back and eat a few more, then think about going to find little Tsunade to play.
