"What good does it do you to know? In any case, I won't help you."
After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, he noticed Kushina raising her head as if to continue pleading, and interrupted, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, my pupil technique can bring forth life; as long as someone isn't dead, they can be saved. But if the technique is used on a Reanimation Body, it can truly resurrect them, though it would consume a lot."
Nawaki was just a Genin, yet it consumed enough pupil power that I couldn't use the Sharingan for a long time. If it were Namikaze Minato, I'm afraid my Sharingan would go blind, so I won't agree to it."
Naturally, this was an exaggeration. Even if the pupil power of the Eternal Mangekyo is exhausted, it will eventually recover; however, this is the top secret of the Uchiha Race, visible only to those who have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and view the contents on the stele.
An outsider like Kushina naturally wouldn't understand; and from her inquiries, she learned that Uchiha Yoichi paid a significant price.
Now, it seems that resurrecting Minato might consume a Mangekyo Sharingan. No wonder...
Kushina continuously pondered in her heart, knowing a bit about how important the Sharingan is to the Uchiha Race, especially Uchiha Yoichi's Mangekyo Sharingan, which has reversed war situations multiple times.
It's such an important eye... Kushina couldn't help but think it's impossible, no wonder he flatly refused her.
Moreover, her relationship with Uchiha Yoichi is entirely maintained by the clan member, Uzumaki Minami. If there's any past interaction between the two, it was only when she was in the Sealing Space.
"...I'll give Mr. Yoichi Nine-tailed Chakra every day..."
"You think you can use this method to get me to help resurrect Namikaze Minato? Kushina, your thoughts are too naive."
Uchiha Yoichi clicked his tongue, "The Nine-tailed is originally the village's, you're merely its Jinchuriki; even from the time of the Six Paths Sage, the Nine-tailed should belong to the Senju and the Uchiha, not to mention it was first captured by Uchiha Madara, then sealed by the First Generation Hokage. What does it have to do with you, Uzumaki Kushina?"
These words made Kushina bow her head in shame, her red hair falling along her cheeks, nearly touching the ground.
If that's the case, she has no hope at all...
"I just... can't accept it. Clearly, Nawaki can be resurrected, so why can't Minato even meet Naruto..."
As Kushina spoke, she slowly began to weep.
If it weren't for Nawaki's resurrection and the negative influence of the Nine-tailed Chakra, Kushina might gradually have emerged from her sorrow, raised Naruto, and watched him grow into a ninja.
But the resurrection example gave Kushina hope, then was influenced by the negative emotions of the Nine-tailed Chakra, gradually amplifying her inner resentment and dark thoughts.
Now, resurrecting Namikaze Minato might be the desire of Dark Kushina's existence as well as what Kushina herself wants, after all, they are one person; Dark Kushina is also a manifestation of Kushina's inner thoughts.
"If Minato is resurrected, would you be willing to give everything?"
Kushina suddenly heard this sentence, raising her head abruptly, with hope rekindled in her eyes, even though the tears couldn't hide Kushina's longing gaze.
Thus, Kushina asked somewhat urgently, "Yoichi, Mr. Yoichi, is there any other method? If I can do it, I'll definitely see it through..."
"Everything is possible?"
Uchiha Yoichi repeated the question, then glanced at the Strategy Guide, continuing, "What about using your body? If offering your body could resurrect Namikaze Minato, would you be willing?"
"Offer... offering my body means..."
Upon hearing this, Kushina paused, but she continued to ask, with an ominous feeling in her heart.
"Just as you think, by offering your body, Namikaze Minato can be resurrected, allowing your family of three to reunite, or you could search on your own for a way to resurrect someone."
Uchiha Yoichi repeated, and after he finished, Kushina's expression and gaze changed, her eyes filled with complex emotions while looking at Uchiha Yoichi.
Moreover, her favorability instantly dropped by twenty, but this was Kushina's only choice.
"If you don't want to, then you should go back sooner, eliminate your dark self, and return to the village to raise Uzumaki Naruto properly."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi no longer continued, as any further words would have little effect. It all depended on Kushina's choice.
But this was her only hope after nearly reaching despair, like a straw extended to a drowning person; now, there are only two options, grasp the straw and survive or abandon it and sink down.
After a quiet moment, Kushina stood up and left without making a sound.
On her return, Kushina silently lay in her nighttime tent, unable to sleep, her thoughts clashing fiercely until dawn the next day.
After not closing her eyes all night, the next morning, Kushina ate a bit before going to the Waterfall of True to confront her dark self.
Sitting on a stone in the lake, Kushina closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, she saw her dark self.
As soon as Dark Kushina appeared, she immediately reprimanded, "The chance to revive Minato is right in front of you, what are you hesitating for!"
