[I am...]
Momochi Zabuza drifted into warmth with a hint of confusion, as many memories of the past came rushing back.
Happy ones, sad ones, angry ones, and lost ones.
Memories that he thought he had long forgotten surfaced in his mind one by one.
He still remembered every comrade he had killed, remembered his high-spirited ambition to assassinate the Kage and change everything when everyone was fleeing the village due to tyranny, remembered the desolation when he led his subordinates to escape the Land of Water, remembered many things, many emotions, and many faces full of hope.
It turned out that he simply didn't dare to forget.
[What's the village like now? Is it still under the control of Yagura Karatachi? How are the people in the village doing?]
"Crack~" The mud doll shattered, and sunlight shone into the darkness.
Momochi Zabuza was still immersed in the strange emotions of being reborn. He was no longer related to the village, and it seemed that nothing had changed in the past. Everything he had dared not forget, everything he had paid and sacrificed in the first half of his life, what did it all amount to?
What was the meaning of it all?
The Hidden Mist Demon Man named 'Momochi Zabuza' was momentarily confused about 'himself'.
The outer shell of the mud doll completely fell off, turning into dust and scattering. Bathed in the warm sunlight, he looked up at the clear blue sky. The man, who had not revealed his true face for a long time, was somewhat lost.
"Zabuza-sama."
A joyful voice echoed in his ears.
Momochi Zabuza turned his head and looked at the dirty, gray-faced little kid from his memories standing behind him, but now he looked so sunny and gentle, holding a stack of clothes, smiling brightly.
[Yes, there is still some meaning] He closed his eyes, trying not to let his tears flow.
He, the Demon Man of the Hidden Mist, Momochi Zabuza, had found the meaning of his entire previous life in an orphan he had taken in on a whim.
He had saved a child.
"Thank you," he said in a low voice as he opened his eyes, took the clothes, and put them on nimbly.
"Eh?"
Haku tilted his head innocently, making a questioning sound, watching the cute Zabuza-sama with a stern little face walk towards another little kid. He was stunned for a moment, keenly realizing that Zabuza-sama, who was always gloomy, was actually in a better mood.
"Well~"
The corners of his mouth turned up a lot. Although he didn't know what had happened, it was enough as long as he could be with Zabuza-sama.
Thinking like this, he followed with light steps.
[Another awkward kid]
Senju Tobirama retracted his gaze. He thought to himself, how come the kids these days are so awkward, one after another.
If you hate someone, just say it directly, and if you like someone, don't hide it in your heart.
Like him, he just hated the Uchiha, and he didn't hide it at all, okay? As for the person he liked...
Well, that guy, brother...
Momochi Zabuza walked up to Lin Ke and knelt down on one knee without hesitation, saying, "I will serve you according to the agreement." His face was full of determination.
The 'Demon Man of the Hidden Mist' was a failed life, and it didn't matter if he abandoned it. In order to protect the only meaning he had ever existed for, he was willing to truly give his loyalty.
"There's no need to do this," Lin Ke had Shadow lift up the little ghost who had lost his strength, looked at the little ghost with a surprised expression, and smiled, "Even if you're reincarnated, there's no need to give up the past."
"As a boss, I'm very tolerant. I have no intention of taking away your past bonds or the ideals you pursue."
"Ninjas are tools, but my subordinates will not be ninjas, and even less will they be tools."
Momochi Zabuza was stunned on the spot.
Haku was a little flustered standing behind him. What did this mean? He wasn't allowed to be Zabuza-sama's tool? "Oh, if some people are willing to do something, I won't interfere either," Lin Ke almost forgot that there was a weirdo behind him who was willing to be someone else's tool.
Hearing this, Haku stood behind him with peace of mind. The long-lost feeling of 'being alive' made everything look fresh to him.
"Bubble~"
Utakata seemed to be in a good mood, blowing bubbles, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
Lin Ke felt that his Chakra had recovered a lot through the Soldier Pills. He looked up at Senju Tobirama, who had already put away his notebook, and said, "It's about time we went back."
Almost everyone who could be resurrected, except for Maki, had been resurrected.
In the end, he couldn't bring himself to resurrect his parents. He still didn't dare to leave behind too deep a bond, lest it affect his grand plan.
First, he would return to the Base and reunite with Sasuke and the others, and then he could move the Uchiha Kindergarten to Konoha.
It was a pity that their bodies were generally only three or four years old, so they couldn't attend the Ninja Academy yet.
"..."
Senju Tobirama sighed, opened his arms, and let the Shadow pick him up.
How should he put it? At first, he felt humiliated and annoyed, but later he found it was really convenient. The Shadow holding him wasn't a living thing, just a product of a technique. It moved quickly and didn't waste his stamina.
Should I also prepare a chair like Lin Ke's? he thought seriously. Suddenly, he looked alertly to his side.
Hina, who was lying in the Shadow's arms, was quietly peeking at him.
This cat, I'm afraid it's gotten fat again. Senju Tobirama estimated that, compared to half a month ago, this Ninja Cat had gained at least half a pound, and its little belly couldn't be retracted anymore.
Hina twisted her body, feeling a little uncomfortable all over, as if someone was talking bad about her behind her back.
Momochi Zabuza was picked up with a strange expression on his face. He wanted to struggle, but it was useless. In his child's body, he had no ability to resist. He looked at the rapidly passing scenery with a slightly flushed face.
Bai giggled a few times. It was so interesting to be alive. He could actually see the usually wild Zabuza-sama reveal such an expression.
Utakata followed easily beside them. The feeling of controlling the Six Tails Chakra was great, and his physical fitness had been developing rapidly recently.
According to Senju Tobirama's research, his situation was somewhat similar to the Uchiha after opening the Sharingan—
That clan possessed by demonic power, after opening the Sharingan, could synchronize with the power of the heart, allowing themselves to become stronger quickly.
The Six Tails was in a deep sleep in his body. He could control the Six Tails' body to create Chakra. In this process, his own spiritual energy was mixed in. The process was like creating Sage Art Chakra. Synchronizing with such power allowed his physical fitness to continuously advance towards a humanoid Tailed Beast.
Unlike Kisame, who was famous for his amount of Chakra as a tailless Tailed Beast, he was genuinely changing his physical fitness towards a Tailed Beast.
If Senju Tobirama hadn't been recently obsessed with the Impure World Reincarnation ritual Incantation, he would have already begun to study his miraculous changes.
The history of Jinchuriki was not long, and everyone was still in the exploratory stage. It seemed that Utakata's state was more perfect.
The only price was the Six Tails falling into a deep sleep. Senju Tobirama didn't even care about human experiments, so he cared even less about beast experiments.
