Chapter 435 - Chapter 435: Isn't This Considered Liberation?

The Rinnegan's ultimate forbidden Ninjutsu, the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, can manipulate yin and yang, control life and death, and truly resurrect the dead.

However, compared to the side-effect-free Edo Tensei, the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique has huge side effects, requiring the caster to overdraw a large amount of Chakra and life force.

In the world of the Hokage, two people have used this technique: one was Nagato, and the other was Uchiha Obito.

After being persuaded by Naruto's Talk-no-Jutsu, Nagato used his nearly exhausted body to resurrect many people who had died because of his attack on Konoha Village. Meanwhile, after the Ten-Tails was extracted, Uchiha Obito was in despair, his body controlled by Black Zetsu to resurrect Uchiha Madara.

It looks like a life-for-a-life exchange, but in reality, "life" here refers to life force, not life itself. The best proof is Miyashiro, who was in his prime; after casting this Ninjutsu, although his body became very weak, it was not fatal.

Of course, the life force consumed by casting this technique would be fatal for an ordinary human. However, after Miyashiro contracted with Apep, he gained a sublimation of life, allowing his lifespan to surpass human limits, and the life force within Miyashiro is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

However, neither Ei nor Chiyo knew about this. Especially Ei, who witnessed the feat of Chiyo's resurrection with her own eyes; seeing Miyashiro's bloodless face, she panicked immediately. Even Chiyo, who was still in the joy of resurrection, put away her smile upon seeing this scene and hurried to Miyashiro's side.

The two of them were not ordinary people either; having lived for thousands of years, they had never seen any technique that could thoroughly resurrect a dead person.

Although the Edo Tensei technique had opened their eyes, the Edo Tensei version of Chiyo was not fully resurrected, and the flaws were obvious. Rather than resurrecting the dead, it was more like using dead powerhouses as tools, forcing the souls of the dead to suffer the pain of imprisonment.

But now, Chiyo was truly and completely resurrected. Not only did she possess all five senses, but she also had a physical body again. That constantly beating heart reminded Chiyo every moment that she was truly alive.

But after the joy, seeing Miyashiro's current state, the two of them dared not be happy anymore. There is no free lunch in this world, and certainly no powerful technique without a price.

Although Miyashiro said he was fine, such a heaven-defying technique that could bring Chiyo back from the dead—what kind of price must be paid to match such an ability?

Ei and Chiyo could not imagine it, nor did they dare to think too much about it. Now, they only prayed that Miyashiro would be safe and sound.

As the ultimate beneficiary, Chiyo, from tears of joy just moments ago, immediately burst into tears, her face full of guilt as she said: "Miyashiro, why did you do this? I was already a dead ghost. You gave me seven years to make up for my previous regrets; I was already satisfied."

"Why go to such lengths for me, using a technique that would harm yourself! If anything happens to you, what will you have Ei do? What will you have your whole family do? I would not be able to rest in peace even in death!"

"Can this technique be undone? If so, undo it quickly. You are the pillar of the Uchiha Clan; there absolutely cannot be any accidents!"

Looking at Chiyo's flustered and guilty expression, the weak Miyashiro laughed while lying in Ei's arms, saying: "Alright, alright, the technique has already succeeded, so there's naturally no way to undo it. You don't need to worry. I still have many attachments to this world; I won't be irresponsible with my own life. I just consumed a bit too much, and I will be fine after resting for a few days."

"Besides, I just said it: being weak for a few days in exchange for your rebirth, Chiyo, is a worthwhile trade. Moreover, isn't this the agreement between us?"

Chiyo, realizing it belatedly, asked back: "The agreement? Do you mean the agreement that if I persisted for another two years, you would grant me liberation?"

Miyashiro raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? Isn't your current state considered liberation?"

This simple sentence pierced straight through Chiyo's heart, allowing the bitterness and sorrow she had accumulated over seven years to be released all at once. Even with Ei by her side, Chiyo couldn't help but throw herself into Miyashiro's arms and start weeping bitterly.

This was also the first time in seven years that Chiyo had intimate contact with Miyashiro. Having just regained her life, Chiyo's entire body exuded a hint of an infant-like scent, full of softness.

Miyashiro, being treated like a burger patty, felt the warmth of the two peerless beauties in front and behind him, and couldn't help but feel a bit distracted. Unfortunately, in his current state, he was somewhat physically unable to keep up with his desires.

Afterward, Miyashiro felt that with his physical condition, he wouldn't be able to hide it from his women, so he informed his primary wife, Shenhe, who was respected as the head of the entire Regents Office's inner quarters.

It was the first time Shenhe had seen her husband in such a weak state, and she couldn't help but worry. However, when she saw Chiyo, who was now radiant, standing beside her, Shenhe already had some deductions in her heart.

After confirming repeatedly from Miyashiro that his condition was not serious and that he only needed a few days of rest, her worry finally subsided slightly.

Miyashiro had now become an indispensable spiritual pillar for the people of Inazuma. If the people were to learn the news of Miyashiro's illness, it could very likely cause some unnecessary unrest.

Therefore, for the sake of stability, with Miyashiro's tacit approval, Shenhe temporarily blocked the news from his other women to avoid worrying them. Only Ei and Chiyo would take care of him, and the excuse used was that Miyashiro had gained some insights and needed to go into seclusion for a few days.

This reason did not arouse their suspicion; after all, it had happened many times over the past seven years. However, this time, Yelan, who came from a background as a spymaster, seemed to notice something. But looking at Shenhe's calm expression, she had to bury the matter in her heart, not daring to express it in front of others.

In the following days, Miyashiro enjoyed the long-lost life of having everything done for him. Out of guilt toward Miyashiro, and Ei out of gratitude toward Miyashiro, they took care of him meticulously. Finally, with Ei's encouragement, Chiyo naturally ended up taking care of Miyashiro in his bed.

In Ei's words, this was also a way to settle the grudge from when she plotted against her two years ago. "From now on, we sisters will serve the same husband and make up."

Although Chiyo was once a wife and had given birth to a son, over the 500 years, Chiyo's husband and son had perished in history, leaving no bloodline. The resurrected Chiyo was now a widow.

Miyashiro's actions could be considered a full display of the "Wei Wu legacy." However, it is worth mentioning that that night, there was blood left behind by Chiyo...

It seems that the physical body regenerated by the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique actually has such an effect! Truly an eye-opener.
