"Well......"
Nobuhiko opened his sleepy eyes and found himself lying on the bed.
There was pain everywhere, and my body felt like it was falling apart.
Especially on the right arm, every cell seemed to be wailing.
Nobuhiko turned around and saw that his entire right arm was wrapped in thick gauze.
But his eyes were focused on Kotono beside the bed.
She sat on her knees on the floor, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep with her forehead touching the ground.
He looked exhausted.
Nobuhiko reached out and stroked her head.
"Nobuhiko, are you awake!? How do you feel?"
Kotono suddenly woke up, raised his head and looked at Nobuhiko with a surprised look on his face. There were a lot of red bloodshot eyes in his pure white pupils.
"It feels okay. You are also a medical ninja, so you should know what my current condition is."
Nobuhiko smiled lightly.
Kotono was stunned, tears quickly gathered in her eyes. She grabbed Nobuhiko's hand, with a cry in her voice, "No, I will definitely cure you!"
Nobuhiko shook his head, "With my current body, even if I recover from my injuries, I estimate that I can only live for one or two years."
Originally, he felt that he could live for about ten years.
However, this time he used the unskilled immortal mode to fight, and then forcibly used the divine air strike. Coupled with the overload of his body, all the hidden injuries he had suffered in the previous ten years of fighting broke out at once.
Nobuhiko's current injuries can be recovered, but the lost vitality cannot be recovered.
Unless he can now obtain the power of six paths, or someone uses reincarnation to transfer life force to Nobuhiko like Chiyo in the original work.
However, compared to immediate death, one or two years are left for him, which is already enough.
"No! No!"
Kotono gently leaned her head on Nobuhiko's chest, trying to hold back her tears, but couldn't help it, so she could only sob softly.
Nobuhiko patted her back gently and comforted:
“Although I cannot avoid the ending of death, it does not mean that we will be separated forever.
Kotono, do you know why I want to study the art of reincarnation? "
After hearing the first half of Nobuhiko's words, Kotono thought he was just trying to comfort her, but when she heard the word 'reincarnation technique', she suddenly came back to her senses.
"You mean you can extend your life through the art of reincarnation!?" Kotono said in shock.
She wiped the tears from her face and looked at Nobuhiko nervously, afraid of getting a negative answer.
Nobuhiko nodded slightly, "You can say that, but the reincarnation technique is prepared for you."
"For me?" Qinano was stunned for a moment.
"Actually, I have a biggest secret that I have always kept in my heart. But you are my wife, and I hope it will be the same in the next life, so I can tell you." Nobuhiko whispered.
"Secret? Next life?" Qinano was surprised.
Nobuhiko said: "Death is not the end for me, but a new beginning.
Legend has it that after a ninja dies, his soul enters a place called the Pure Land.
But after I die, I can bypass the Pure Land, reincarnate directly, and regain my memory one day in the future.
After this death, I will be reincarnated into the Hyuga clan again about forty years later.
so......"
"So, as long as I live for another forty years, I can see you reincarnated again?!"
Kotono was surprised and happy, but soon her expression dimmed.
"At that time, I was an old woman in her seventies, and you were just born..."
Nobuhiko pinched Kotono's cheek and teased:
"That's why I want to study the art of reincarnation. I don't like old ladies!"
Seeing Nobuhiko joking with a relaxed expression, Kotono believed what Nobuhiko said even more.
"I don't care! You won't be able to beat me then!"
Qin Nai said angrily.
Then he looked worried.
"The art of reincarnation has only completed the first stage. I don't know if it can be successfully researched."
If it was before, she wouldn't be worried at all.
But now that it was about whether he could see Nobuhiko again, Kotono began to worry about gain and loss.
"Kotono, the situation in the Warring States Period is gradually becoming clearer now. With Hashirama's strength, no one can defeat him.
As long as the Uchiha clan gives up resistance, it will only be a matter of time before the Fire Nation is unified.
It's just that Hashirama's concept of a ninja village has huge flaws.
Even if a brief period of peace can be entered, a new war will break out as soon as Hashirama dies.
But peace should be maintained for at least the next ten years.
During this time, you should hurry up and improve your strength and study the art of reincarnation. "
Nobuhiko said seriously.
"I understand!" Kotono nodded heavily, she believed that Nobuhiko would never lie to her.
Da da...
There was a sound of footsteps.
"Lyota."
Masato Hinata's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in."
Following Nobuhiko's order, Hinata Masato pushed open the door and entered, while Kotono quickly wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves.
Hinata Masato limped into the room with many bandages on his body and a cane.
"From now on, when I'm not here, you will take orders from Kotono!" Nobuhiko ordered.
"Yes!" Masato Hinata saluted respectfully.
Kotono looked at Masato Hinata, who looked dull, with a surprised look on his face, and then looked at Nobuhiko, "What's going on?"
She had sensed something was wrong when Masato Hyuga suddenly supported Nobuhiko uncharacteristically.
Now it seems that Nobuhiko used some method to control Hinata Masato.
"You should have guessed that since I was injured last time, he led someone to ambush us halfway. The night I came back, I went out in the middle of the night just to solve this trouble.
His body has been occupied by my conscious clone. Although it looks the same on the outside, his soul is no longer the original Hinata Masato.
After my death, he will obey your command. "Nobuhiko explained.
Kotono was shocked: "Conscious clone? You mean, even if you die, your conscious clone can still survive?"
Her focus was not on obtaining an absolutely obedient clan leader servant, but on the fact that Nobuhiko was able to leave a conscious clone.
"Yes, but the conscious clone does not have perceptual thinking. You will find the difference later." Nobuhiko nodded.
"I understand." Kotono said slightly disappointed.
"Qinno, please go out first, there is a better helper, I want to leave it to you.
But it depends on whether he is willing, and now he has come. "Nobuhiko said suddenly.
When Qinano heard this, she was slightly startled. She suppressed the doubts in her heart, nodded, and left the backyard.
"Agarwood, come out." After Kotono left, Nobuhiko looked at the floor in front of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pool of black fluid material slowly overflowed from under the floor, and then gathered together.
This time, Black Zetsu came to Nobuhiko's bed in human form.
"Dad, how is your injury?" Hei Jue's voice was full of deep worry and concern.
Nobuhiko shook his head slightly, "My vitality is damaged, and I can live for another year or two at most before I am reincarnated.
Agarwood, the next time we meet will probably be forty years later. "
"Damn Madara!!!" Hei Jue clenched his hands into fists, his voice full of hatred.
Nobuhiko stretched out his hand, patted Hei Zetsu's head gently, and then said:
"It's nothing, the upper limit of my body's talent is here, and it can't be increased any more.
But every time I reincarnate, my talent will get better and better.
The next life will be my most talented one, and I am confident that I will be able to save Kaguya.
Forty years may not be a long time to you, just wait a little longer. "
Hei Jue lowered his head, feeling extremely heavy.
For him, whose life span is almost infinite, forty years is indeed nothing.
He has been dormant for thousands of years.
It's just these short ten years of getting along that made Kuro become dependent on Nobuhiko.
Apart from his mother who gave him life and was sealed since birth, Nobuhiko already had the highest status in his mind.
As long as the ultimate goal of saving Kaguya doesn't conflict, Black Zetsu feels that Nobuhiko will always be his family.
For the first time, Black felt that forty years was a long time and lonely.
"Although I will leave for a short time, I will leave a clone of my consciousness to accompany you.
Also, Kotono can stay with you temporarily if you want. "Nobuhiko said with a smile.
Hei Jue reacted after hearing this and asked:
"Dad, do you mean to let me assist your current wife before you return from reincarnation?"
"Yes. If you are willing." Nobuhiko nodded. Hei Zetsu's consent must be obtained first.
After all, after he finished the projection, he returned directly to Konoha for 40 years.
But for Kotono in this era, she has to live day by day.
Although Black Zetsu was very obedient around him, if he and Kotono had differences for such a long time, there might be trouble.
You must make an agreement with him first.
Regarding trustworthiness, Nobuhiko really believes in Black Zetsu!
"Well... you can, but you can only tell her that I am your other conscious clone of your father. You cannot tell her about saving your mother.
Besides, if I wait to rescue my mother, she..."
Black Zetsu is ready to say that Kaguya is the real palace.
But then I thought about it, with Kaguya's strength, how could these humans compare after they came out.
Compared to him and Kaguya who have long lives, human life is too short.
Even if the so-called reincarnation technique is developed, the soul has its limits after all.
When Nobuhiko's current wife Kotono assisted them in rescuing Kaguya, Black Zetsu even looked forward to how wonderful Kotono's expression would be.
"What else?" Nobuhiko raised his eyebrows.
"It's nothing. I will fully cooperate with her!" Hei Jue promised.
Nobuhiko looked pleased, "What a sensible and good boy!"
After receiving Nobuhiko's praise, Hei Jue felt happy. As soon as the conversation changed, he took the credit and said:
"By the way, Dad, this time the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan are fighting, I have hundreds of pairs of Byakugan in my body. Do I need to hand it over to you now?"
Nobuhiko was slightly startled when he heard this.
To be honest, he was still a little distressed that the Hyuga clan had hundreds of casualties this time.
They are all good men of the Hyuga clan.
Just the thought of hundreds of more pairs of white eyes made Nobuhiko's heart become heavy.
He remembered that the rabbit he raised in his previous life had died, and he cried very sadly. Especially when he brought the rabbit to the table for dinner, he ate three large bowls of rice with tears in his eyes.
That kind of feeling is very complicated.
These tribesmen are not really close to him, and he doesn't even remember what many of them look like.
It can only be said that there is no such thing as a war without death.
As the clan leader, Nobuhiko stood in the front.
Although so many people died, he had a clear conscience.
"Well done!" Nobuhiko gave a thumbs up, but he was not in a hurry to roll his eyes.
“These white eyes are placed with you first, be sure to keep them properly.
In the next Byakugan experiment, you can take out part of it and give it to Kotono when she needs it. "
"Yes!" Black Jue responded, then took out two scrolls from his body.
"Dad, here are the Sharingan eyes I collected on the battlefield, a total of 87 pairs."
Nobuhiko was slightly startled when he saw Hei Zetsu looking like he was begging for praise. This guy had also learned bad things and actually talked separately.
But of course Nobuhiko was not stingy and patted Black Zetsu's head, "Well done!"
"Hehe..." A simple and honest smile appeared on Hei Jue's face.
"No. 1, come in."
Nobuhiko said to Hinata Masato outside the door.
"Go and call Kotono in."
"Yes!" Hinata Masato walked towards the outside of the mansion.
