Chapter 153

The three major eye Bloodlines of the ninja world: the Sharingan has the ability to see through others' movements and cast illusions, while the Byakugan has a 360-degree field of vision and can see through others' chakra size, flow direction, and various acupuncture points on the body.

Wanting to change appearance or body shape is too simple for ninjas, and can even be achieved with a simple "Transformation Technique."

But no matter how one disguises, the chakra on one's body cannot be changed.

So when Ao activated the Byakugan and looked directly at Shengzai's body, his face soon showed an extremely shocked expression.

Nothing else, because through the attributes and flow of chakra, he could almost confirm that the Shengzai in front of him was indeed the Kaguya Shengzai he once knew.

But now Shengzai, compared to the Shengzai he knew ten years ago, the gap in chakra volume is too amazing.

How should I put it? Under the gaze of Ao's Byakugan, he was shocked to find that Shengzai's chakra volume was second only to the existence of the former Fourth Mizukage among all the Hidden Mist ninjas he had ever seen!

And the reason why the Fourth Mizukage's chakra volume is so large is mainly because he is a Jinchuriki!

"Ao, what exactly is going on? Which ninja village is he from?"

Looking at the strange expression of Ao, Mei Terumi next to her also hurriedly asked the Anbu around her to surround Shengzai, and even she herself struck a posture ready to fight at any time.

"Don't act rashly first. Although I feel it is incredible, under the screening of the Byakugan, he is indeed Kaguya Shengzai."

Shengzai's chakra volume is indeed amazing compared to before, but other aspects are indeed correct, so this also makes Ao extremely confused.

Because Kaguya Shengzai is already dead, he, as a veteran Jonin of the Hidden Mist, also knows this.

"Of course I am Kaguya Shengzai. I thought that only ten years had passed, and you, Ao, had become old and dim-sighted."

Hearing Ao's confirmation, and Shengzai's fearless expression and familiar tone, Mei Terumi next to her also spoke directly: "Kaguya Shengzai, a genius of the Kaguya clan, a former Hidden Mist Jonin."

"But according to your intelligence data, you should have died ten years ago due to a congenital disease."

For Mei Terumi's questioning, Shengzai was not angry, but spread his hands casually: "I did die, but I was resurrected by others using a forbidden technique."

"The forbidden technique Reanimation developed by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju has the effect of summoning the souls of the dead, lodging them in living sacrifices, and manipulating them to exert their strength before death for battle."

"The person who used Reanimation on me is an S-rank defected ninja of Konoha, one of the former Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru."

"That guy dug me out from the clan land of the Kaguya clan and performed Reanimation on me."

"Of course, I have already broken free from his control over the technique, so I am currently considered a free person."

Because the intelligence Shengzai said was too explosive, Mei Terumi and others were all stunned on the spot.

Not to mention whether the technique that can resurrect the dead really exists in the world, they all maintained a skeptical attitude about whether what Shengzai said now was true.

Just as Shengzai said, the caster of Reanimation can control the actions of the resurrected, and even erase their consciousness, so how do they confirm whether the current Shengzai is still under Orochimaru's control?

"First, although the caster of Reanimation can control the actions of the resurrected, and even erase their consciousness, they cannot change their thoughts."

"Secondly, you probably think that I returned to the Hidden Mist Village with ulterior motives for the village, but I can only say that for me, there is nothing in the Hidden Mist Village worth me thinking about."

"After the death of the Fourth Mizukage, there is no Tailed Beast, right? After the Seven Ninja Swordsmen defected, only Hiramekarei is left among the seven ninja swords, right?"

"As for the so-called classified intelligence of the Hidden Mist high-level, it is a pity that those are not secrets to me either."

"Then you tell me, what is worth me thinking about in the current Hidden Mist Village?"

Hearing Shengzai's words, Mei Terumi and others were all silent. Although it was sad, they had to admit that most of what Shengzai said was a fact.

"Child, then what is your purpose for returning to the Hidden Mist Village now?"

The person who asked this question was none other than Gensui, who was slowly walking over with the help of others.

And when Gensui arrived, the others present, including Mei Terumi, consciously moved their bodies aside.

Although she is now exercising the power and duties of the Fifth Mizukage, all of this is inseparable from Gensui's support behind her.

"Long time no see, Lord Gensui. Seeing that you are still healthy, it is really great."

For an elder like Gensui who is nearly ninety years old but still works hard for the village, Shengzai also gave the other party a certain amount of respect.

"Just like Gensui, who is old but still shines for the village, as a ninja of the Hidden Mist Village, I just want to continue to fulfill the duty of a Hidden Mist ninja."

"Of course, I don't want to hide it from everyone. I also have a little bit of selfishness, that is, Reanimation is ultimately a fake life, so if possible, I want to be truly resurrected."

Hearing Shengzai frankly reveal his ambition, the Hidden Mist people present all showed surprise. Only Gensui still opened his mouth with a normal expression: "Do you want to use the power of the Hidden Mist Village to help you achieve your goal?"

"No, honestly speaking, I already have some clues about how to resurrect myself."

"And I can say unceremoniously that the enemy I will face in the future may not be something the current Hidden Mist Village can resist, so I don't intend to drag the village into the water."

Hearing Shengzai's words, Gensui did not choose to pursue the question, but continued to ask another question: "Your Kaguya clan was once exterminated because they betrayed the village."

"And even so, are you still willing to come back and be a Hidden Mist ninja?"

When Gensui asked this question, Mei Terumi and others present looked at Shengzai nervously, because Gensui's question was very sharp and might even lead to a battle between the two sides.

However, what Mei Terumi and others did not expect was that for Gensui's question, Shengzai's reaction was quite calm, and finally sighed: "I know better than you what kind of guys my own clan members are."

"If they were a group of good guys, I would naturally choose to help them take revenge without hesitation, even if it meant being an enemy of the village."

"But imprisoning clan members with talent like pigs, and even me, if I hadn't shown enough value, I guess the outcome wouldn't have been much better."

"Such a garbage family, isn't it better to be gone? After I am truly resurrected, I will continue a new Kaguya clan."

As the saying goes, a village has an old man, like a treasure. Although Gensui, who is nearly seventy years old, is not strong, his wisdom and horizon accumulated over the years are incomparable to young people.

Gensui's squinted old eyes were blurry, but his eyes were abnormally bright at this moment. After asking Shengzai several questions in a row and confirming with his own vision that Shengzai was not lying, Gensui also directly made a decision: "Child, welcome back to the Hidden Mist Village."
