Chapter 813

"A normal Edo Tensei requires a part of a corpse as a foundation to guide the soul back from the Pure Land; but if you go directly to the Pure Land and bring someone back, you can skip this step."

Lin Cheng reached out to take the clean pot, added oil, heated it, tossed in the seasonings, then put in the next dish to stir-fry.

At the same time, after sighing, he told Tobirama about another feasible method.

But this second method, no one would likely want to try, since once a person goes to the Pure Land, they cannot return.

"Who do you want to bring back from the Pure Land?"

Tobirama handed the dish he had been holding to Gaara, then continued standing in the kitchen, watching Lin Cheng.

He always felt this kid was trying something dangerous—could it really be that he wanted to bring his older brother back to the Pure Land, then find Izuna and bring him over?

"By the way, Izuna really is in the Pure Land. Though I never went to see him, who else could it be if someone lived there? It certainly couldn't be me—I could go, sure, but if I went, I might never come back, so don't worry, it won't delay dinner on time!"

Lin Cheng found Tobirama's concern annoying—even if he wanted to find someone, could he really make Hashirama go back?

The current state of the Pure Land isn't necessarily good either—if Hashirama returned and met Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, who knows what might happen.

So he'd go himself, just to see what the Pure Land was really like.

"I've only heard fragments from the Death God before, but without seeing it myself, I just can't feel at ease. I'm not that strict—if it's delicious, a little delay doesn't matter."

Once he confirmed it wasn't about bringing his older brother back to the Pure Land, Tobirama's mood relaxed considerably.

But when it came to meals, he had never insisted on strict timing—after all, delicious food could be eaten anytime.

"Then please, Elder Tobirama, take this dish out—this kitchen is already cramped, just hand it out at the door."

Lin Cheng plated the freshly cooked dish and handed it again to Tobirama, then shooed him out of the kitchen—these people who couldn't even cook kept coming around to mess things up, so annoying.

If Kakashi had this kind of proper skill and technique, he wouldn't be so disgusted.

As Tobirama carried the dish out, only when placing it on the dining table did he suddenly remember—even if someone intended to go to the Pure Land, it wasn't something you could just do at will.

Could one really travel freely between the Pure Land and the mortal world? This still didn't make sense!

Should he go ask his older brother?

That was settled—he'd return after dinner tonight to ask his older brother, then come back.

Having made up his mind, Tobirama ate faster than usual.

After finishing his meal, while others were still enjoying fruit and drinks, he excused himself to rest in his room, claiming dealing with the Sand Village's high officials was exhausting.
