Not sure if the Four Celestial Symbols Men didn't check their fortune before leaving, but just as Gensou was peacefully making his way through the forest, he suddenly noticed the four ninjas who should have passed him by were now surrounding him, looking at him like prey.
"Is the ninja world so unsafe these days?" Gensou lifted his bamboo hat, calmly shook his head, and looked at the four guys holding strange ninja tools.
Unaware of who the person under the bamboo hat was, Suiko, feeling they had hit the jackpot, touched his Infinite Hole Armor, which could absorb and sense chakra, and said excitedly, "This is the one! My armor senses a vast amount of chakra in him, perfectly meeting our requirements!"
"Really? That's great!" Hōki laughed heartily, "The Ancestor is protecting us! This is truly destiny!"
It was like getting a pillow when drowsy; the Four Celestial Symbols Men never expected to encounter someone who could advance their plan to resurrect the Ancestor so significantly while traveling through the vast forest.
As for the fact that this stranger possessed a large amount of chakra and likely wasn't weak, what of it?
Compared to facing the notorious Jinchuriki and the Suna Village behind him, the Four Celestial Symbols Men preferred to deal with this conveniently encountered stranger.
No matter his background, after dealing with him in this forest, the outside world would have no clue what happened.
"What are we waiting for? Let's capture this guy and revive the Ancestor!" Ryugan, itching for a fight, drew his Dragon Eye Fang Hidden Blade.
"Revive?"
Just as Gensou was about to swat away the flies surrounding him, he suddenly became interested upon hearing the mention of a resurrection. He asked, "It sounds like you plan to revive someone?"
Hearing this, Hōki gave Kujaku a signal.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Kujaku understood, lifted her chin proudly, and said, "Stranger, you should feel honored to participate in the revival of our Ancestor."
Gensou chuckled, "Not just anyone can be revived."
Encountering a group on the road, and they talk about reviving some so-called Ancestor?
When did resurrection become so trivial?
It really devalued the word "resurrection."
Hearing Gensou's remark, Kujaku's face flushed with anger, "Ignorant fool! Our Ancestor was a legendary figure like Hagoromo Gensou and Senju Hashirama. If Gensou can be revived, so can our Ancestor!"
'Like me?'
Gensou stroked his chin.
Besides Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, he hadn't heard of anyone else being his equal back then.
"What is your Ancestor's name?" Gensou asked curiously.
Could there really be hidden talents in the ninja world? Kujaku was about to answer.
Hōki suddenly clapped his hands together and shouted, "Ninja Tool: Iron Prison!"
In an instant, incredibly sturdy iron bars shot up from the ground around Gensou, forming an airtight oval iron prison, completely trapping him inside.
"We got him! I didn't expect it to be this easy." Hōki sighed in relief, seeing Gensou trapped by the ninja tool.
Ryūgan, looking disappointed, put away his Dragon Eye Fang Hidden Blade, "What? I thought there'd be a big fight. Didn't expect this guy to be so weak."
"Let's hurry and revive the Ancestor!" Kujaku urged impatiently.
Hōki was about to agree when a voice came from inside the iron prison.
"So, can you tell me who your Ancestor is now?"
Gensou tapped on the iron prison trapping him, seemingly unconcerned, and continued to ask.
Hearing the calm tone from inside the prison, Hōki felt a sudden unease.
He quickly shook his head and said coldly, "You'll see for yourself soon enough."
With that, Hōki formed hand seals.
The next second, the iron prison shook violently.
Gensou felt his chakra being rapidly absorbed by the iron walls surrounding him.
"A resurrection ritual requiring chakra?"
Gensou watched calmly.
If not for wanting to see what this so-called Ancestor's resurrection was all about, he could easily break out of these small tricks by the Four Celestial Symbols Men.
As if hearing his thoughts, the Four Celestial Symbols Men didn't make him wait long.
Soon.
Seeing the iron prison filled with a visible amount of blue chakra, Hōki didn't hesitate any longer. He slammed his hands on the ground, summoning a coffin.
"Ancestor, please heed our call and be fully resurrected!"
Under Hōki's guidance, a large amount of absorbed chakra flowed into the coffin.
With a "bang," the coffin lid opened, revealing an old corpse inside.
Gensou looked at it.
"Who is this guy?"
He had expected to recognize the person the Four Celestial Symbols Men were hyping up, but
he had no recollection of the figure.
At this moment, the Four Celestial Symbols Men didn't stop their actions.
After a large amount of chakra poured into the Ancestor's body, the four of them
simultaneously formed hand seals.
In the next second, the four high-level ninja tools-the Dragon Eye Fang Hidden Blade,
Infinite Hole Armor, Kujaku Twin Swords, and Light Sword-suddenly detached and flew towards the Ancestor's body.
Not only that, but Hōki also performed a secret technique, sacrificing his own life without
hesitation.
After a flash of bright light.
The coffin disappeared.
In its place was the Ancestor, now looking youthful, wearing the four ninja tools and floating
in mid-air.
"Years of effort have finally borne fruit. Ninja World, I'm back."
The Ancestor of the Tool Ninja Village, a man named Seimei, opened his eyes and looked
around with great emotion.
Kujaku, Ryūgan, and Suiko immediately knelt on one knee, their eyes filled with fervor and reverence, and greeted him: "Greetings, Ancestor Seimei!"
Seimei looked at the three and nodded in satisfaction, "My descendants, you have done well. From today, I will lead the Tool Ninja Village to conquer the Five Great Nations and reach the pinnacle of the ninja world!"
Kujaku, Ryūgan, and Suiko trembled with excitement.
Indeed!
Just as the Ancestor had said before, his return marked the Tool Ninja Village's rise to the
pinnacle of the ninja world.
They were about to pledge their loyalty to Seimei's grand vision when an untimely chuckle
rang out.
Seimei and the three turned to look.
Gensou, still inside the iron prison, smiled faintly and said:
"Conquer the Five Great Nations? Seimei... Ninja tools are interesting, I think I remember who
you are."
