I Seem to be Invincible, But Also Not Invincible
[This kid's talent is truly astonishing, Space-Time Ninjutsu that points to such a distant space...]
Black Zetsu observed in the shadows. Having lived for so many years and being the will of Kaguya, it had its own opinions on Ninjutsu and ninja.
It was at the level of being Kaguya's strategist in the manga.
Therefore, it had basically understood the experimental data recorded by the kid in front of him these past two days. In comparison, some people who couldn't understand it seemed a bit out of place.
Due to Kaguya's Amenominaka, it had a strong understanding of Space-Time Ninjutsu. It couldn't use it itself, but it had no problem pointing out the issues.
As the formula was completed on the Scroll and Chakra was injected, the ink blurred into a puddle in the next second.
"Failed, why did it fail?"
Senju Tobirama had a bit of a headache. Lin Ke's version of Impure World Reincarnation had a large number of formulas he couldn't understand, and they were different each time. After multiple comparisons, he retained the same Incantation and, after research, obtained a set of Space-Time Ninjutsu formulas.
He hadn't quite figured out the principle behind the disassembled Incantation. The main reason was that it had too few similarities with the formulas of conventional Space-Time Ninjutsu, and there wasn't much experience to draw from.
However, he had come to some conclusions about the function of the entire formula by observing the operation of Impure World Reincarnation in reverse: ultra-long-range space positioning/searching/transmission.
The biggest difference from Flying Thunder God Technique was that this thing didn't need an additional formula to locate in advance, it had the ability to vaguely locate itself.
During the process of being wrapped by Lin Ke's version of the Impure World Reincarnation formula, those souls that were reincarnated all went through a process of vague positioning, searching, and transmission.
This was an extremely outrageous thing. If he could figure out how to transmit without additional formula positioning, Flying Thunder God Technique would become an extremely exaggerated technique where he could go wherever he wanted with a clap of his hands.
Senju Tobirama couldn't refuse the temptation of the evolved version of Flying Thunder God Technique.
Moreover, influenced by Lin Ke, the idea of 'it's fine as long as it works, who cares what the principle is' lingered in his mind, and he was ready to directly test what effect it had.
Then there were four or five consecutive failures.
[Because there is too little Chakra, and there is a lack of search direction]
Black Zetsu silently gave its conclusion. The Chakra required for Kaguya's Amenominaka alone was an astronomical figure for humans, let alone the ultra-long-range space search in front of him.
Without sufficient Chakra, dreaming of crossing such a distant space was simply a pipe dream.
More importantly, the formula was not perfect, lacking the part about the search direction.
[Even I can see that something is missing, this kid is still thinking about simple usage problems, perhaps he didn't invent it...]
"What's going on?"
Senju Tobirama redrew a Scroll with a head full of doubts. The reason why he hadn't considered the problem of Chakra quantity was because he had personally seen Lin Ke activate the complete Impure World Reincarnation with so little Chakra. In theory, the part in front of him shouldn't be a big problem.
As for the search direction? That wasn't important, he just wanted to see if he could use it, not really wanting to experience an untargeted ultra-long-range transmission.
[Go find Lin Ke and let him cooperate with my experiment] - Impure World Reincarnation is a very cruel and inhumane technique.
Of course, that was the original version.
Lin Ke's thoughts drifted slightly.
"Dan!"
Tsunade called out the name of her lover in a low voice, then hugged a little kid who had just put on his clothes.
Kato Dan, after being reincarnated, felt no joy in embracing his lover, but awkwardly tried to escape his impending suffocation.
"Lin Ke, thank you," Nawaki said, watching tears of happiness stream down his sister's face, a brilliant smile blooming on his own.
Lin Ke snapped out of his thoughts and returned the smile.
He had been receiving many thanks since this morning.
Last night, Senju Tobirama used many death row inmates to Impure World Reincarnate a portion of the village's deceased ninjas whose bodies had been preserved. After agreeing on a code, they uniformly performed the reincarnation today.
Impure World Reincarnation couldn't find every ninja.
Some corpses had decayed too early to be Impure World Reincarnated, such as Uzumaki Mito and the earlier Senju clan members. Some Impure World Reincarnations failed, like Konoha White Fang, whose soul wasn't in the Pure Land. Others had corpses that weren't preserved after death, like Might Duy, who opened the Eight Gates.
If he wanted to find those people, he could only wait for future Summoning Jutsu lotteries.
Konoha Village, as a military organization of a major country, operated with terrifying efficiency.
Lin Ke didn't know where so many heinous individuals came from, mechanically controlled by Genjutsu to jump into his Underworld Swamp. They were lining up to die, which was quite something.
There was plenty of Black Mud, and reincarnation only cost some Chakra. With the Utakata-brand power bank nearby, he felt like a heartless reincarnation robot.
At first, he was quite moved by the families' gratitude, especially when Asuma tearfully held his mother's hand. He was genuinely touched by the familial affection.
Well, he was also quite looking forward to Third Hokage meeting his three-year-old wife.
But as he entered a state of constant repetition, the gratitude became a bit numbing.
[I seem to be invincible now]
Lin Ke released the Impure World Reincarnation, waiting for the technique to move on its own, when he belatedly had this thought.
His reincarnation wasn't like he couldn't use it on himself. The technique moved on its own; he was just a tool providing Chakra.
Even if he died, if someone could Impure World Reincarnate him into the world, he could still enter the reincarnation process.
Who could harm him then, unless they captured, controlled, or sealed him... uh.
[I guess I'm not invincible after all]
Lin Ke smiled and nodded at Umino Iruka's parents, who were holding hands as they were reincarnated, then continued to immerse himself in his strange mood.
Uchiha Madara had been dealt with, and Black Zetsu, Kisame, Obito, and Nagato had run away, but Akatsuki was considered destroyed, and there was definitely no possibility of Kaguya being revived in the short term.
The Fourth Shinobi World War from the original story was unlikely to occur at the originally scheduled time.
That made his initial plan of five years of training and three years of explosive growth a bit awkward.
If Konoha Village continued to reincarnate like this, wouldn't it become invincible? The longer it dragged on, the more awesome it would become. There was no need for him to step up himself.
If he waited another ten years, whether or not he could eat beef would be up to him.
The safety and freedom he initially wanted seemed to be within easy reach now.
But Haruki Murakami was right. People always think they're pursuing freedom, but when they really have it, they feel a bit lost.
He still needed some pursuit and goals.
"Lin Ke, my newly developed Ninjutsu needs your help!" Senju Tobirama landed beside him. "How long before you're done?"
"Hmm, and there's also," Lin Ke glanced at the codebook, then closed the book and stuffed it back into his waist pouch, saying, "Let's go, let's go see your Ninjutsu."
As expected, he's still very interested in Ninjutsu.
As for the village's mission? I went through so much trouble to climb to this position, and you want me to work myself to death? Am I crazy, or is the Hokage crazy?
