Chapter 230: Yuya's Death
Time had passed, and looking at Hyuga Yizhen—his face now weathered, clearly much more mature—Li Jiexuan felt a surge of emotion…
He hadn't expected that Senju Tobirama would start such a war for his sake, even going so far as to destroy an entire ninja village. Nor had he expected Hyuga Yizhen to remain here for over a year, waiting for his return!
"I knew it—Captain, you weren't dead!"
Even after more than a year, the way Hyuga Yizhen looked at Li Jiexuan was still so pure. The eighty percent loyalty—not only unchanged but even increased—proved that there wasn't a trace of impurity in that devotion.
But what made Li Jiexuan frown was: Uchiha Yuya (0/100). Could it be that this Uchiha guy had dropped his loyalty to zero so quickly?
"Where is Yuya?"
Li Jiexuan was somewhat annoyed, but to his surprise, the moment Hyuga Yizhen heard Yuya's name, he lowered his head in pain and gave an answer Li Jiexuan never expected: "Yuya… he's dead…"
"Dead?" Li Jiexuan froze.
Five minutes later, he finally understood what had happened: after news of Li Jiexuan's death spread, Konoha completely went to war with Sunagakure—fighting to the bitter end!
But Sunagakure was not a weak opponent that could be crushed instantly. Under desperate resistance, they insisted they had not harmed Li Jiexuan and refused to hand him over.
At that point, Uchiha Yuya was completely enraged!
"That was a terrifying eye!" Hyuga Yizhen seemed to recall something horrifying. "That eye was like the gate of a demon—it swallowed up more than half of Sunagakure…"
This was undoubtedly the power of Kamui from the Mangekyō Sharingan!
"The reason Sunagakure has fallen into such ruin is inseparable from Yuya's actions." Hyuga Yizhen shook his head in pain. "But unfortunately, after using that technique, he exhausted all his chakra and died on the spot…"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan's eyes reddened. To use his own life for something like that… he could have just waited for him to come back!
"That idiot…"
"But it's a good thing you've returned, Captain." Hyuga Yizhen nodded with tear-filled eyes. "It's just a pity… it would've been even better if Yuya could see this too."
At those words, Li Jiexuan suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened abruptly. "He will see it. No matter what, I'll bring him back to life!"
"Bring him back to life?"
Hyuga Yizhen stopped crying and looked at Li Jiexuan in confusion. "Captain, have you gone mad? The dead can't come back…"
"No!"
Li Jiexuan roared through gritted teeth. "The dead can be revived! If that old man Madara could come back, why can't I do it?"
"Madara?"
Hyuga Yizhen was completely baffled—he had no idea what Li Jiexuan was talking about. But that didn't matter. As long as Li Jiexuan understood, that was enough.
"Tell me—where is Yuya's body?" Li Jiexuan grabbed Hyuga Yizhen's shoulders, his voice urgent. "Hurry, this concerns whether Yuya lives or dies!"
Life or death?
Yuya had been dead for nearly a year. His body was probably already preserved as a specimen. What life or death was there to speak of?
But out of trust in Li Jiexuan, Hyuga Yizhen answered without hesitation: "After Yuya died, the Uchiha clan took his body back!"
"The Uchiha!"
Li Jiexuan slammed his hands onto the ground, pulled Hyuga Yizhen along, and leapt onto the back of the golden-winged roc. "Let's go—we're heading back to Konoha immediately!"
The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique—so long as he used this jutsu, he could definitely bring Yuya back!
From the moment it was created, this technique had been a complete anomaly. To reliably revive someone, two factors were crucial: the time since death, and the condition of the body. Time could no longer be recovered—but the body, he was determined to obtain!
