Pakura examined her body in disbelief. She realized that she truly seemed to be alive again.
At that moment, Nagi walked over with a cup of tea.
"Alright. Miss Pakura, you've now been fully revived exactly as you were before."
Pakura accepted the teacup. When the aroma of tea reached her nose, she realized she could truly smell it.
After taking a small sip, she quietly savored the sensation of being alive again.
Then she smiled at Nagi and teased him:
"Thank you for bringing me back to life, Nagi. How about I repay you by offering myself in marriage?"
"Pfft!"
The tea Nagi had just drunk was immediately sprayed out.
Seeing his reaction, Pakura found it rather amusing.
She then bowed and said sincerely:
"Nagi, thank you for reviving me."
"It's nothing."
Nagi then asked,
"So, Miss Pakura, what do you plan to do next?"
Pakura's expression grew slightly complicated.
"Right now, the war is still ongoing. If I recklessly seek revenge against Rasa, it might negatively affect the war effort. And my disciple Maki would probably have a hard time living in Sunagakure afterward."
She sighed.
Nagi nodded approvingly.
"Miss Pakura truly is a teacher who understands the greater good."
Because of Tobirama, Nagi generally had a great deal of respect for responsible teachers.
"But regarding Rasa… I killed him a few years ago."
"…?"
Pakura stared blankly at Nagi.
What?
"Sunagakure attempted to ally with Otogakure to invade Konoha. I had no choice but to kill Rasa, since he was the one who gave the order."
"…Uh."
Pakura didn't know what to say.
The person who gave her life back had also unintentionally avenged her.
"Um… thank you."
Right now, that was all she could say.
As for offering herself in marriage—this clearly wasn't the right moment.
Pakura then asked:
"Nagi… can I go support the Allied Shinobi Forces on the battlefield?"
After all, Nagi had given her life back. She didn't feel she could ignore his wishes.
Nagi smiled and nodded.
"Of course."
He always respected people willing to dedicate themselves selflessly.
As for whether Black Zetsu would notice Pakura's revival—well, Nagi honestly didn't care much about Kaguya right now.
At the moment, he was simply using Black Zetsu and Obito to better complete the next stage of his plan.
And if the Allied Shinobi Forces discovered Pakura had been revived?
The shinobi of Kumogakure would probably just say:
"That's just another one of Nagi's routine moves."
At that moment, Nagi gestured to Pakura.
"Miss Pakura, wait a moment. I'll put a little insurance on you first."
"Hm?"
Though confused, Pakura still stepped forward obediently.
Nagi placed his hand on her shoulder and injected a special kind of chakra.
Before the war, he had infused this same chakra into Shizuka, Samui, and Uno. If they ever encountered danger, the chakra would immediately protect them.
However…
[Black Screen Activated]
"Ah~"
"Oops… I injected too much chakra."
Only then did Nagi realize he had used the same amount he normally gave Samui and the others.
Even a Kage-level shinobi might struggle to endure that amount.
"Um… sorry. I used a bit too much."
"It's… it's fine."
Pakura was breathing slightly heavily.
Just now, she had felt a warm chakra envelop her body—
almost like Nagi was gently embracing her.
It had given her the strange sensation of floating into the heavens.
"Um… Nagi… do you have that…?"
"Hm?"
"…panties?"
"…Uh…"
Nagi immediately realized the problem.
[Black Screen End]
After changing her clothes, Pakura glanced at Nagi and smiled.
"Nagi, after the war ends, I'll repay you properly."
"And right now… I actually quite like you."
Nagi nodded.
"May fortune favor you in battle."
He then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Pakura back to the battlefield.
When Pakura reappeared in the hidden location from earlier, she immediately rushed toward the Third Battlefield.
Chat Commentary
Shizuka:
"…Does this count as a successful capture?"
Tsunade:
"I suppose so. Didn't you see the affectionate look in Pakura's eyes when she left?"
Pakura:
"Mm, as expected of Nagi. The version of me on the screen fell for him so quickly. But hehe… Nagi, my heart is starting to flutter for you too~"
Nagi:
"..."
Rasa:
"Hmph. Pakura, we're from the same generation. Do you enjoy robbing the cradle that much?"
Pakura:
"Tch. Rasa, go pan for gold for the rest of your life. Besides, my age was frozen the moment I died."
Mei Terumi:
"Sigh… who would've thought that dying could also be a way to preserve one's youth."
Seeing someone who should technically be a generation younger than her now looking even younger, Mei felt oddly uncomfortable.
Maki:
"Uh… if that's the case, Sensei, doesn't that mean you're about the same age as me now?"
Pakura:
"Hmm. Maki, becoming sisters actually sounds pretty nice."
Maki:
"…Uh…"
The Screen Continues
"Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi!"
Sasuke unleashed a slash of black flames, successfully cutting Fuguki Suikazan in half.
"Tch. These opponents are too boring. When will that coward Madara finally show himself?"
At that moment, a man wielding two kunai suddenly launched an attack at Sasuke.
"Hm?"
Sasuke quickly raised his Kusanagi Sword to block the strike.
"What?! Such incredible strength!"
The impact forced Sasuke to retreat dozens of steps.
He stared at the attacker seriously.
The man had brownish-gray hair and looked rather old.
"Who is this guy?"
At that moment, an elderly Konoha shinobi looked at the newcomer in shock.
"Lord Sasuke?"
"Hm?"
Sasuke looked at him in confusion.
The man quickly realized the misunderstanding.
"Sasuke—this is Lord Sarutobi Sasuke, the father of the Third Hokage."
"Oh? The Third Hokage's father?"
Sasuke's interest was immediately piqued.
"Looks like a strong shinobi."
The Konoha ninja then began explaining Sarutobi Sasuke's background to him.
Chat Commentary
Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Huh? Father?"
Sarutobi Sasuke:
"I never expected even I would be summoned by Impure World Reincarnation. This Black Zetsu is truly formidable."
Jiraiya:
"Wait… if even the old man's father can be summoned, then that means…"
Tsunade:
"That's bad. There must be plenty of shinobi from the late Warring States Era as well!"
Tobirama Senju:
"This is troublesome. Back then, powerful clans like the Hagoromo Clan, Kaguya Clan, and Kurama Clan had many formidable warriors. Black Zetsu will likely not overlook them."
The Screen Continues
Just as Tobirama predicted, Black Zetsu was currently controlling a group of powerful shinobi from the Warring States Period.
Quietly, they were approaching the Allied Shinobi Forces' Medical Division.
