Chapter 177 - Chapter 177: Congratulations! You’re Now a Girl

In truth, not many people in the chat group truly longed to resurrect the dead. Most members had never even tasted the grief of losing someone close.

Esdeath, for example, had parents who had long since passed away—but she had no plans to bring them back.

As she always said: the weak deserve to die. Whether they were her enemies, her parents, or even herself, the rule was the same.

This was exactly why Jaeger admired her so much. The sadistic general wasn't just talk—she lived her life by her own ideals, without compromise.

Most of the battle maniacs in the group were like that: life and death weren't something they feared.

But for Kocho Shinobu of the Demon Slayer world, it was different. She had never been able to see through life and death so easily.

Her elder sister, Kocho Kanae, had been gentle, kind, and beautiful. Yet years ago, she was killed by the demon Dōma. Jaeger himself had slain Muzan Kibutsuji, avenging Kanae in the grandest way possible. Still, Shinobu could never erase the shadow left by her sister's death.

If only I had joined the chat group earlier… If I had met Saint Jaeger sooner… maybe that tragedy could have been avoided.

This regret had lived deep in her heart for years, unspoken to anyone. But when she saw Uchiha Miyuki mention in the chat group that Jaeger intended to resurrect the dead, Shinobu could no longer suppress her wish.

I want my sister to be resurrected!

I want her to see this world with her own eyes, a world free of demons!

Kanae had always dreamed of a world where humans and demons coexisted in peace. But Shinobu… she truly believed the world was beautiful now.

Especially after Jaeger had wiped out the demons and reshaped the world...wars between nations stopped as if by silent agreement. The current world was paradise compared to before.

But could her sister, who had been dead for nearly four years, really return?

If possible, Shinobu thought, she would sell her entire soul to Jaeger for eighteen lifetimes just to make it real.

With that burning thought, she focused entirely on the live stream Uchiha Miyuki had opened in the chat group—waiting to witness the miracle of resurrection.

The Naruto World

Pushing Jiraiya aside with an annoyed look, Uchiha Miyuki sighed.

This perverted old fool—Jaeger had saved him not out of kindness, but likely just to stop him from harassing Lady Tsunade or peeping on young girls like the Third Hokage once did.

In her heart, Miyuki couldn't compare the likes of Jiraiya to Jaeger. Against His Highness's upright nature and unmatched strength, Jiraiya was nothing but a lecherous clown.

But with Tsunade standing nearby, moving against Jiraiya directly would mean offending her completely. That's probably why His Highness saved him earlier… Still, knowing Jaeger's possessiveness and his Hand of Hermes, Jiraiya's fate is already sealed.

Casting a sympathetic glance at the oblivious Sannin, Miyuki quickly finished her preparations for Edo Tensei. Moments later, a coffin rose up before the group.

"Already? You're too skilled at this," Madara muttered, frowning. "Have you been practicing on your own?"

"Heh, just a little trick. Nothing worth mentioning," Miyuki said with a proud smile. She certainly wasn't going to admit that she'd once studied Edo Tensei in secret—hoping to summon Madara before Obito could and make him her puppet.

But now? Madara was already in the chat group, and Jaeger stood behind her as the ultimate backer. She no longer needed such heretical techniques. Even if the Ōtsutsuki clan descended upon this world, she could simply ask His Highness for a single Sunfire. That alone could erase the clan… or burn the entire planet to ash.

The coffin creaked open.

"Tsunade-san, this is him," Miyuki announced.

A boy of about twelve emerged—his face pale, a deep crack running down his cheek, his eyes dark and lifeless.

"Am I… being pulled back to the living world? …Sister?"

Unlike typical Edo Tensei puppets, Senju Nawaki was fully aware. The moment he appeared, his gaze locked onto Tsunade in disbelief.

"Nawaki…"

Tsunade's breath caught. For an instant she was too afraid to believe—terrified this was only a cruel illusion.

"Alright, Tsunade-san, it's ready," Miyuki said, smiling. "Now it's Your Highness Jaeger's turn."

Jaeger gave a casual nod. His pupils glowed as he unleashed the Rinnegan's ultimate forbidden technique.

Buzz—!

Blinding white light poured over Nawaki's body. Jaeger felt a faint drain on his own life force. How much exactly? To him, it was like losing a single grain of sand in an entire solar system.

As Miyuki had said—even if he slaughtered every human on the planet ten thousand times and resurrected them just as many, it would still mean nothing to him.

"Ugh…"

Nawaki groaned. The cracks on his skin faded, his blackened eyes cleared, and warmth returned to his body. Everyone nearby could feel the surge of life flowing through him.

"It actually worked," Madara whispered, eyes narrowed. Even without possessing the Rinnegan, Jaeger had used its ultimate technique flawlessly. To call him a god walking among mortals was no exaggeration.

Uchiha Miyuki nearly bounced with joy. "See! I knew His Highness Jaeger was omnipotent!"

"…Sister?"

Nawaki looked down at his hands, then up at Tsunade and Jaeger. His voice trembled. "Am I… really alive again?"

"Yes… Nawaki!"

Tears ran down Tsunade's cheeks, but her smile was radiant. For the first time in decades, her heart felt light.

"Welcome back."

Kocho Shinobu: "Actually… it's really possible to revive people who have been dead for many years!"

Kocho Shinobu: "Jaeger-sama, can you please resurrect my sister, Kocho Kanae? My sister and I are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives! Even if it means giving you our souls!"

Jaeger: "That's unnecessary. Resurrecting your sister would be a trivial matter. The real issue is that I'd need to physically reach your world."

Kocho Shinobu: "…But after Muzan's death, the story of Demon Slayer has already ended."

Jaeger: "Exactly. Which means I can't intervene—unless you manage to trigger a new mission that lets me travel to your world."

Kocho Shinobu: "Then I'll find a way, Mr. Jaeger! I promise!"

Jibril: "Tsk, unbelievable. To bring back the dead so casually… Mr. Jaeger is becoming more and more like a true god."

Angel Leng: "That's only natural. When I fought Jaeger, I could feel it—his life level kept evolving every moment. Becoming a true god is only a matter of time."

Karuizawa Kei: "Eh? Isn't Saint Jaeger already a god? I mean, compared to most mythological deities, he's even stronger!"

Scáthach: "That depends on how you define 'god.' In the Type Moon World I come from, Jaeger has already far surpassed their divinities. But if you mean an omnipotent, omniscient being who can create and destroy entire universes with a thought… then Jaeger still has some distance left to climb."

Karuizawa Kei: "Ugh, the universe is too vast for us to even grasp. It's not as tangible as watching him destroy suns or galaxies we actually know."

Eriri Sawamura: "Either way, the stronger Mr. Jaeger becomes, the happier I am. After all, I'm the only one in this group who can summon him directly!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hah! Spoken like the blonde, useless nine-tailed fox you are. Instead of training, you waste your beast transformation powers making doujins. Your level is about the same as Miyuki's."

Eriri Sawamura: "Excuse me!? I can summon Jaeger-kun, and you can't! Shut it, fat woman!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hmph. You brag about summoning him all the time, but I've never seen you actually do it. What's wrong? Afraid? Worried your frail little body will be tossed aside by His Highness?"

Eriri Sawamura: "You—you—you! I'll fight you, you fat cow!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Lost dog."

Uchiha Miyuki: "…Wait, why did you two drag me into this again? Senpai, you're just looking for excuses to flame me!"

Esdeath: "Hmph. Utaha is right. Look at me—an ordinary girl from a mortal world—and now I can fight Uchiha Madara himself, who's on par with the Sage of Six Paths. Meanwhile, you two keep squabbling. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Eriri Sawamura: "…I do want to become stronger. But I don't get to world-hop like the rest of you. Should I summon Mr. Jaeger to my world and ask him to train me?"

Scáthach: "A bold idea. But Jaeger doesn't carry the same… devil's wisdom as I do. I doubt he'd make a patient teacher."

Eriri Sawamura: "…So I'm hopeless then?"

Uchiha Miyuki: "At least I've got my system. Once His Highness Jaeger finishes off that bastard Danzō and I become the Fourth Hokage, my system tasks will clear, and my strength will increase dramatically."

Angel Leng: "Danzō… oh right, I almost forgot with all the battles lately. Our plan is to drop divine weapons on his public execution tomorrow, yes? Surprise him mid-ceremony?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Exactly. We'll fight Danzō and his men first, then let His Highness take the spotlight."

Angel Leng: "Got it. I read the group announcement—it's basically to boost ratings. Since Danzō is Jaeger's Noble Phantasm, it'd be wasteful if we killed him ourselves."

Uchiha Miyuki: "H-Hey! Don't sound so sure of yourselves. With the power-ups he's gained, Danzō might not actually be weaker than you think!"

Angel Leng: "Tch. If he gets caught by my wormhole slash, I'd like to see him resist."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Space ability? Heh, I have one too. Plus, my time-stop ensures Kamui lands every time. He's not escaping both of us."

Uchiha Miyuki: "…Alright fine, you've got a point. Poor Danzō, facing you and His Highness at once."

Back in the Naruto World

"So, Jaeger-nii is my brother-in-law? A god-like existence, and he's the one who saved me?"

Senju Nawaki's young face lit with realization after hearing the full story.

"Brother-in-law!?"

Tsunade's cheeks flushed bright red. She flailed, smacked her brother on the head, and snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting! Jaeger-kun is my benefactor—our benefactor! Show some respect!"

She shot Jaeger a nervous glance, her heartbeat quickening. She did like him—more than she wanted to admit. But… could someone god-like really look at her as more than just a body?

Even if that was all he wanted, Tsunade thought, she'd still offer it willingly. After all, Jaeger had given her back her brother. How could she ever repay a kindness greater than the heavens themselves?

"Yes, yes, I get it," Nawaki muttered, rubbing his head. He couldn't understand his sister at all. If he didn't like you, would he have gone this far?

As for Jaeger having multiple women… to Nawaki, that was hardly worth fussing over. Even at twelve, he knew most men dreamed of a harem. For someone like Jaeger, who could resurrect the dead on a whim, wasn't it only natural?

And in Nawaki's eyes, his sister had nothing to worry about anyway. Whether in beauty or figure, Tsunade was a top-tier goddess of the shinobi world.

"That's right, brother-in-law!"

Completely ignoring Tsunade's flustered scolding, Senju Nawaki turned solemnly to Jaeger. The godlike man had simply been standing there, smiling as he watched the siblings.

"You're so powerful… is there any way to change my appearance? I don't want others realizing you resurrected me—it might bring you and my sister unnecessary trouble."

"You really are a filial child."

Jaeger accepted the title of brother-in-law without hesitation. Watching Tsunade's face grow redder by the second, his lips curved in amusement. "There is a way to disguise your identity. But the side effects aren't small. Do you still want to try it?"

"Bring it on!"

Nawaki spread his arms wide, courage burning in his eyes. "It's already incredible that I was resurrected. I won't let myself cause more trouble for you or my sister!"

"Good."

Under Tsunade's anxious gaze—and the curious stares of everyone else—Jaeger slowly raised his hand. From his fingertip, a ray of light shot straight into Nawaki's body.

In an instant, Nawaki's form began to shift. His figure grew slender, his chest… swelled, his skin paled into smooth ivory, and his hair cascaded down to his waist. His features refined themselves into delicate beauty—far beyond most women.

"Ehh!? This is—!"

Tsunade, Konan, and Kushina all froze, eyes going wide.

Uchiha Miyuki burst into laughter.

Angel Leng's mouth twitched.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smirked wickedly. "As expected of a World Noble. Truly twisted taste."

"What's wrong?"

Nawaki blinked in confusion. He lowered his head… only to find his view blocked.

"…???"

What are these two huge lumps of flesh!?!

"Congratulations, Nawaki."

Jaeger regarded the transformation with a satisfied smile, like an artist admiring his masterpiece. "From now on, you'll live as a beautiful girl."

"…Ah!?"

Nawaki's face paled. He wanted to vanish on the spot. I just wanted to hide my identity, not become a girl!

But before he could complain further, Tsunade's eyes lit up.

Her younger brother had been resurrected. Now her younger sister stood there instead—more beautiful than most kunoichi, and safely unrecognizable. To Tsunade, this was perfect.

"This is… amazing," she whispered, lips curving into a smile.

"I… I don't even know how to thank you, Your Highness Jaeger."

Tsunade turned to him, cheeks glowing red, her eyes sparkling with emotion. But before she could finish—

Smack!

Nawaki, now the stunning little sister, shoved Tsunade straight into Jaeger's arms.

"Brother-in-law! Please take care of my sister tonight!" she declared proudly.

"…."

Tsunade froze. Feeling Jaeger's warmth pressed against her, her body flushed hot.

This bastard of a little brother… no, little sister now—betraying me like this!?

Her heart pounded wildly. At least give me time to prepare!
