In Moon Country, the ninja army had returned to recuperate.
Exhausted from the fierce battle, Feather fell asleep. Although there were too many things that he couldn't let go of, he slept very soundly. It had been a long time since he had slept like this.
In a daze, Feather felt an itch on his cheeks. Something extremely soft and slender was tickling him. A warm and fragrant wind flowed into his nose. It was especially comfortable.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Lin's rosy little face. Lin's hair fluttered in the wind, and Lin's breath warmed his skin.
Feather was momentarily dazed.
Until Lin said gently with a doting smile and affection in her eyes, "You're awake. How do you feel?"
"I feel much better." Feather lifted the blanket and sat up. His thoughts returned from the flames of war in Kienju Province. After connecting with reality, his eyes became clear and penetrating. He looked up at Lin. "How long have I been asleep?"
Lin said, "Three days."
Feather was slightly taken aback. "Three days … It's been so long?"
"It's not just Obito." Lin turned around with her hands behind her back. Her gaze was deep. "This battle was too bitter and difficult. Everyone … has been beaten back to their original forms."
Feather floated off the bed and put on a brand new black robe.
"But, we won …"
Whoosh!
Opening the curtains, the bright sunlight dispelled the haze.
After experiencing the darkness of war, he could deeply feel how precious the sunlight of peace was.
"Yes, we won!" Lin Qingyang smiled sweetly. "You must be starving. I'll go make you some breakfast."
In the past, breakfast was always made by Sunset.
Yang Yan, who had fused with Sunset, was still sleeping in the gourd of Totsuka Sword. It couldn't be released yet because the Heart Form technique was still in effect.
It would take a few days for Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami's shikigami to fuse. There was no hurry. The opening of the Reincarnation Tenseigan was imminent. At that time, Feather would have the ability to undo the illusion cast on Yang Yan by the Heart Form.
After eating, Feather suddenly thought of something. "By the way … are the lights in the room in Cape Town turned off?"
Lin cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. "During the days when we were away, the people of the entire Ninja Country had voluntarily cut off their electricity. They said that they would wait for us to come back so that they could light up their homes again …"
"I see."
Feather was gratified and moved. After resting for a while, he pushed open the door to the side hall of the Heavenly Feather Pavilion.
In the hall, twelve coffins were neatly placed. They were the twelve members of the Ninja Country who died in this battle.
The strategy this time is, the ninja army is hiding in space, waiting for the opportunity to move, only the most elite ninjas will fight the enemy head-on.
Casualties: Cape Town, Uchiha Shisui, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Maito Gai, Mei, Rasa, Kitsuchi, Mifune, Menzo Emon, Chiyo Popo, Hatou.
Every single one of them was an important figure.
In particular, Menzo Emon might not be familiar with him. He used to be the first Puppet Master of the Sand Village. During the eighth year of the Anbu Period, during the Chunin Exam of Konoha, he was attacked by Kabushiki Kabushiki. In the process, Feather subdued him and used Kotoamatsukami to force him to submit to the Anbu.
Later, in the Ninja Country, Menzo Emon served as the Director of the Ninja Tool Manufacturing Department.
After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Orochimaru used the Rinne Tensei Jutsu to perform the Return of the Dead. Because Menzo Emon wanted to go further on the path of puppetry, he refused to be resurrected and stayed in the body of the Edo Tensei. This time, he went with the army and died in the hands of the Divine Swordsman.
"Menzo Emon, wait for the right time to perform the Edo Tensei."
"Chiyo Popo and Hatou, in accordance with Chiyo Popo's last wish, don't disturb their peace in the Pure Land."
So, there are nine people left to be resurrected. According to Yama's quota of three per year, it will take three years to complete the resurrection.
So, the question is, who should be the priority of this year's quota?
From a personal point of view, Feather wants to give these three quotas to Minato, Kushina, and … Cape Town.
From the perspective of war interests, these three quotas should be given to Shisui, Maito Gai, and … Minato.
But Feather is the ruler of the Ninja Country, the highest leader, he needs to consider the stability of the country and the stability of the people.
Although Minato and Kushina are the closest to Feather, they don't have a position in the Ninja Country. Although Cape Town is in charge of finance, after all … they are not the decision-makers.
Mei, Rasa, and Kitsuchi have special identities. They are the Kage of the three major countries under the Ninja Country, Sand Village, Rock Village, and Mist Village. The affairs of the country need to be decided by them.
Mifune is the leader of the Samurai Alliance. Not to mention his strength, in terms of status, he is even higher than the three Kages.
So, Feather is in a dilemma.
"It's better … to discuss with them face to face."
Summon the Six Paths of the Pure Land!
Snap! Feather's palms together, and a huge summoning jutsu emerged in the hall, and then … nine blue souls appeared in front of Feather!
They are Cape Town, Uchiha Shisui, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Maito Gai, Terumi Mei, Rasa, Kitsuchi, and Mifune.
Cape Town said, "We are here, it seems that we have returned victorious. Shadow, the light in my room, you didn't forget to turn it off, right?"
Feather smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's already turned off!"
Cape Town nodded, "Well … that's good, the electricity is very expensive."
Feather swept his gaze across the spirits and said with a serious expression, "Everyone, the reason I've summoned you all this time is to discuss the order of resurrection. I've come up with a plan, please take a look and see if it's feasible. Let's go according to the order of our deaths …"
At this time, Cape Town, who was the first to die, cast a warning look, as if to say: Don't you want to lose face?
"Ahem." Feather coughed twice and hurriedly said, "To be honest, the battle was quite chaotic at that time, and I can't remember the order of death clearly, so I want to hear everyone's opinion …"
The souls looked at each other, and Rasa was the first to break the silence, "Your Highness, I know what you are concerned about. In the current situation, what we need is not internal stability, but external stability … So, you should prioritize the resurrection of the highest combat power, don't mix personal feelings, and don't care about feelings!"
Rasa, the Lord of Sand Village's resurgence, maintained his view of the overall situation as always.
Feather was more far-sighted, "Your Highness Rasa's words are reasonable, but internal stability is necessary before external stability. War may come at any time, and we must maintain stability internally …"
Rasa's soul crossed his arms in front of his chest, bowed his head, and muttered, "This is actually not difficult to do, as long as we choose a candidate to replace us, we can maintain the stability of each family."
Feather smiled and said, "In fact, I think so too, so do you all have an ideal candidate in mind?"
Rasa raised his eyes and said, "I recommend Gaara!"
Feather smiled, "Why?"
Rasa said, "Gaara's strength is no longer below mine. After the Chunin Exam, he and Naruto, who is now the Hokage, got quite close. His thoughts and style were influenced by Naruto. In addition, when Akatsuki collected the Bijuu, he experienced death, and he understood the value of life more and yearned for peace. I am not partial to my son, he is indeed the best candidate for the next generation of Kazekage, enough to shoulder the rise and fall of a country!"
"Well, before Your Highness Rasa is resurrected, Sand Fall Gaara will temporarily take over the Fifth Generation Kazekage of the Sand Village!"
After finalizing the Kazekage, Feather looked at the curvy soul with long hair, "Then, Your Highness Terumi Mei, do you have a candidate in mind to replace the Mizukage?"
Mei's soul stared straight at Feather, and there was a hint of ambiguity in her voice, "Shadow Sama, before I say the Mizukage in my mind, can you give me a minute to say the Mizukage in my mind?"
Feather scratched his head and said awkwardly but politely, "Uh … We can talk about this later, let's talk about the candidate for the Mizukage first."
Terumi Mei said, "There are many people in the Mist who can take over the position of the Mizukage. Momochi Zabuza is a veteran, and Chojurou is also a strong newcomer, but the most suitable one … is someone else."
Feather's fingers moved behind his back, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it."
Terumi Mei said, "Haku Yuki is from the Yuki Clan. He has the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. Not to mention his current strength, he is no longer under the Ice Witch of the Akatsuki organization."
"The only thing left from the Blood Mist period is the problem of the Yuki Clan. Haku, the only survivor of the Yuki Clan, will take over the position of the Mizukage. I don't know, Lord Feather, what do you think?"
"Uh …" Feather rubbed his fingers and thought, "When I let Full Moon secretly kidnap Haku, this White Tiger woman has always been thinking about it. I have to say, her move is wonderful. She directly took Haku back under the name of the Mist, and it's hard for me to refuse. So powerful and cunning."
But Feather still argued, "Haku, after all, is a girl who has never seen the world. Even if her strength is not weak, letting her be the Mizukage is still a bit …"
Terumi Mei's soul said thoughtfully, "What does it matter? When I was the Mizukage, I was also a girl, and I didn't see the world, but I was still a good Mizukage, right?"
This woman … is really difficult to deal with.
"I need to ask for my daughter's opinion. You know that 'Bai' is a member of my daughter's Dark Moon organization. He is also Xue's' best friend 'on a daily basis!"
Terumi Mei's soul said thoughtfully, "The princess has always been sensible. She will definitely agree. Besides … Ninjas are a family. Time and space Ninjutsu is so developed. It's easy for them to visit each other, right?"
Terumi Mei was talking about the time when Feather sneaked into the Mist village and peeped at her in the hot spring.
Oh, a single slip will cause everlasting regret … Feather understood.
"Okay, then let Haku Yuki take over the position of the Sixth Generation Mizukage of the Mist Ninjas!"
