Chapter 826

"I didn't bully him, clearly it was him……"

Izuna glanced back at his brother, then turned his head with a cold snort and said no more.

But from this display, one glance was enough to tell that something unpleasant had just happened.

"Alright, you must be bored here on your own. Have something to eat first, I'll come see you again when I have time." Lin Cheng casually took out a string of spirit fruits and set them aside, then without further ado, directly took Uchiha Izuna's soul and left the place.

"It's really Izuna? Lin Cheng, you actually found Izuna?"

Hashirama had been at home these past two days, worried that certain fellows going to the Jingtu Society would cause trouble.

But now, looking at the two souls that had suddenly appeared, she was still shocked for a moment.

"Not bad. Although I didn't find that guy Madara, finding his brother works too. Use Wood Release to keep guard, let me see if I can bring him back to life first."

Lin Cheng's body was gradually changing from a soul form into a human, but the fact that he could do so didn't mean the Izuna he'd just brought back could as well.

"I don't have a sacrifice here."

Looking at Izuna's soul, Hashirama swiftly used Wood Release to cover the entire courtyard.

She didn't know whether sunlight was harmful to souls, but anyone who had been to the Pure Land knew there was no such thing as a sun there.

But the Impure World Reincarnation required a living organism. Although she had thought about it, she still hadn't made any preparations, after all everyone here was from Konoha, and she couldn't bear to use them as such a sacrifice.

"No sacrifice needed, the Rinne Sharingan is still very useful, it's just that the Shinigami really hates this."

Lin Cheng's eyes closed and then opened again, and the Rinne Sharingan, which he had only used once before, appeared once more.

The Rinne Sharingan steals souls from the Shinigami, so if one were to say which ninjutsu hates Impure World Reincarnation the most, then this dojutsu would be the one that hates the Rinne Sharingan the most.

Indeed, it would be hated.

Hashirama could also be said to have barely seen the Shinigami before, although she certainly couldn't have had any communication with it.

But a soul that originally belonged to the Shinigami being snatched away—the Shinigami not getting angry was already very friendly.

"Rinne Sharingan?"

Izuna's soul tilted its head, looking at the two people before him. Upon confirming that Senju Hashirama was still a living dead, he quietly set his mind at ease—at least she hadn't truly come back to life.

Since this fellow had the ability to resurrect people, why hadn't he resurrected Hashirama?

This doubt, he didn't voice, but his expression didn't hide it either.

"Mm, Rinne Sharingan, an ability that sacrifices oneself to resurrect others."

Moreover, having a proper reason to teach this kid a lesson could also count as venting some anger—who told him to really not be able to beat that older one.

"Fight? Me?"

Lin Cheng raised his head somewhat blankly, took a look at Uchiha Izuna, then suddenly turned and went into the kitchen.

"You kid."

Being suddenly ignored, Uchiha Izuna wanted to get angry on the spot, but seeing Lin Cheng turn back, swiftly lift the pot lid, and dish out the food, he smelled the aroma and actually felt a bit hungry.

So many years had passed; in the Pure Land, naturally, there was no such thing as eating for him. Now, smelling the aroma, he inexplicably felt his heart stir and his stomach too.

"Stop glaring. We'll settle the grudge between us later. Right now Lin Cheng is cooking, don't disturb him. There are also a few guests from the Sand Village here."

Senju Tobirama reached out and pulled Izuna aside. He knew this fellow was definitely going to cause trouble for him, but now they were in the Sand Village, so don't disgrace their own side.

Also, continuing to disturb Lin Cheng during his cooking time—even a senior would be collectively held a grudge against by a bunch of petty grudge-holders!

Of all things in the world, eating comes first!

"That kid really wasted those eyes of his. We'll talk about you killing me later. First, explain to me clearly who exactly he is!"

Uchiha Izuna glared at Senju Tobirama, but ultimately didn't show any intention to strike outright.

At this moment, without even having figured out the other's strength, he wasn't stupid enough to seek death.

Big brother was right—no matter what, one had to first figure out what the current world looked like, and only then could they prepare their plans.

"He's an orphan from Konoha, as far as I know……."

Seeing Uchiha Izuna so cooperative, Senju Tobirama took him aside and began recounting some of the information he'd learned from Konoha—of course, basically just the parts about Lin Cheng that were known to others.

This naturally also involved incidents like the Nine-Tails' attack on the village, the Uchiha clan's massacre, and even the later Hyuga clan's massacre.

Most of it was information familiar among the Konoha ninja. While he was talking about these things, Uchiha Izuna listened attentively beside him.

The more he listened, the more he felt this kid was clearly an utterly arrogant fellow, yet always existed as a bystander at all times.

Truly a sinister guy—stirs everything up and then lets others do it.

"Tobirama-senpai, Izuna-senpai, dinner's ready, let's eat!"

After Naruto set the last dish on the table as well, he finally shouted at the two who were still deep in their private chat.

"Coming."

Senju Tobirama, hearing Naruto's voice, immediately cut off the topic. Whatever he wanted to know, he could just as well ask later.
