Hermit Purple, Activate!
Chapter 238 Hermit Purple, Activate!
"Tsunade, huh."
Senju Tobirama crossed his arms and took two steps back, tilting his head to get a clear look at the woman's face.
"The Second Hokage?"
Tsunade eyed the little ghost in front of her with suspicion. The resemblance was indeed there, and she would have readily believed it if he were a descendant or the result of some human experimentation.
But to say he was the Second Hokage himself was a bit far-fetched.
Even with Lin Ke's technique, resurrecting someone without any cost seemed impossible.
While the relatives on this side were exchanging glances, on the other side, the Third Hokage was looking at a group of young Uchiha with a hint of awkwardness.
"Third Hokage." Uchiha Fugaku nodded in acknowledgment. He used to be very dissatisfied with the Konoha higher-ups, but at this point, it didn't matter anymore.
He wouldn't reveal his true feelings now. Sasuke and Lin Ke, caught in the middle, had become genuine links between the Uchiha and Konoha Village.
Both sides were now in a state where they had to cooperate.
The Third Hokage also smiled, a very businesslike smile, not exactly fake, but lacking much emotion.
He hadn't supported wiping out the Uchiha back then, but that didn't mean he liked a group of people clamoring for a coup. The civilians were innocent, but the Uchiha ninjas had mostly participated in the coup discussions.
How could anyone like that?
The two belonged to the type who disliked each other but had to stand together with smiles because of certain individuals, looking like grandfather and grandson to outsiders.
'A harmonious scene'.
"Kakashi and the others are missing?" Lin Ke's expression was slightly surprised. They were with the perverted sage and Guy Teacher.
Who could fight them and prevent them from escaping?
Even Pain's Six Paths wouldn't be able to, right? Considering Kakashi and Jiraiya's battle intellect, combined with someone who could open the Eight Gates and was the strongest in Taijutsu, did they really have any opponents right now?
He frowned. He hadn't used Summoning Jutsu much lately. Testing Underworld Swamp and Impure World Reincarnation had wasted too much time and energy, and the little Chakra he squeezed out was used by Senju Tobirama to accelerate his training with Mystical Palm Technique.
The feeling of suddenly losing control made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
"Clap!" Lin Ke formed a hand seal and clapped his hands together, broadcasting the Konoha Village code agreed upon with Kakashi and the others in the Pure Land.
There was no response.
He shook his head, "There's no response from the Pure Land. Either they're not dead but have been captured or trapped, or their souls didn't go to the Pure Land after they died."
"Are perverted sage and Kakashi Teacher alright?" Uzumaki Naruto stood beside him, a little nervous.
He only cared about so many people, and two of them had gone missing at once, so he couldn't help but worry.
Lin Ke was silent for a moment, then said, "Give me some time, I'll find their whereabouts." Finding people was his specialty.
He also needed to figure out what had happened. To be able to take down such a strong trio, perhaps…
Uzumaki Naruto didn't seem reassured, but he didn't continue to ask anything. He turned to look at Sasuke behind him, forcing a smile.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything, his eyes showing a hint of comfort. He could roughly understand how the other felt.
Uzumaki Naruto felt a little flattered. How had his usually cold companion become a gentle warm man? Who adjusted him? "I still can't believe in any reincarnation Jutsu," Tsunade said, frowning. "Anyway, now that Lin Ke is back, let's send people out to find Jiraiya and the others. I can participate in this operation."
[Strange Chakra…]
Senju Tobirama thought silently. It was a bit similar to the scent on Jugo. It seemed like he had completed Sage Mode? But with no information and a logic of acting without thinking.
He was even dumber than his brother.
"Give me a little time, I'll use a Jutsu to find their whereabouts." Lin Ke was somewhat honest about the effect of Hermit Purple, "In the meantime, I'll reincarnate Nawaki for you."
Didn't you not believe it? Let you see it with your own eyes.
Of course, reincarnating Nawaki and Kato Dan required getting the information first, and waiting for Senju Tobirama to complete the First Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation.
Tsunade was about to say something, but when she heard Nawaki, she obediently shut her mouth.
As expected, people with weaknesses were easy to persuade.
"Then, Utakata, come and help." After Lin Ke finished speaking, he said, "Sasuke, I'll have to trouble you and the others."
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to delay any longer. He had to start extracting immediately, at least to get some information first.
"Okay." X2—Late at night, Konoha Village, Lin Ke's home.
"It's you again, Emperor."
Lin Ke gasped for breath, canceling his Stand. Utakata next to him looked pale. Constantly releasing large amounts of Chakra caused intense pain in the body, and both of them were gritting their teeth to endure.
Feeling the stinging pain in his head, he didn't try to form any more hand seals. He placed his hand on Utakata and released Mystical Palm Technique once, saying, "Let's stop here for today. Let's rest for a bit."
Utakata wearily lowered his hand, not wasting energy to speak. He walked heavily towards the door. He was paying for most of the Chakra for the Stand, and even with the Six Tails as a tool, he was still exhausted, almost without the strength to use Body Flicker Technique.
Sasuke, with Itachi's eyes and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated, was guarding next door, so he didn't worry about being ambushed or getting into a fight.
"Thanks for your hard work," Lin Ke said.
Utakata paused, then stepped forward again, feeling his steps lighter.
What an easily satisfied tool, Lin Ke thought to himself. The exhaustion of his body and mind left him no time to think too much.
The last bit of Chakra had just been used to perform Mystical Palm Technique on Utakata. His mental fatigue had reached its limit, and even Soldier Pills wouldn't help him extract much more. He could only rely on rest.
He dazedly went to the bathroom. A Shadow wiped his face with a hot towel, another brushed his teeth, and another held the mouthwash and toothpaste foam.
After a hazy wash, he fell backward, letting the Shadows lift him onto the bed, and his consciousness dissipated.
In his half-dreaming state, he seemed to see those Sharingan eyes standing on the balcony, and he felt much more at ease.
He didn't sleep well all night. After waking up the next morning, he popped a few pills and felt refreshed. Utakata was waiting early. Lin Ke didn't waste the Chakra Utakata was transferring right away. He tried extracting a few times himself. Hey, you know what—
Five Stand extractions, two Emperors. He was so angry he laughed.
Emperor, Emperor, always Emperor. Does this mean I'm destined to be an emperor?
Lin Ke rubbed his temples, but he was used to his own bad luck. He signaled the charging treasure to follow, and shouted inwardly: Hermit Purple, activate!
