After the Chat Group rewards were distributed, everyone returned to their respective worlds. As Hokages, they were all very busy, with many matters awaiting them in their own worlds.
Main World.
Upon exiting the Summit Space, Aoki opened his eyes to the familiar Hokage office. The Chat Group rewards had long been credited to his account. Now, Aoki's account suddenly held an additional 745,000 points! Among these, 155,000 points were the reward from the Pirate World mission rating, while 590,000 points were Aoki's share. This was their first completed Multiverse Task, and it had already yielded such substantial gains for Aoki.
Aoki felt quite confident about the upcoming Multiverse Tasks. As for these hundreds of thousands of points, he hadn't yet decided how to use them. Should he exchange them for some powerful item or ability? Or should he temporarily save them up to exchange for even stronger abilities later? After much consideration, Aoki chose the latter—to temporarily store the rewards and wait until he encountered an ability that truly captivated him before making an exchange.
For now, he had other matters to attend to: dealing with Madara Uchiha and his allies! That's right, them. Prior to this, Aoki had already unified the entire Ninja World, bringing forces like the Stone ninjas, Cloud Hidden Village, and Mist Hidden Village under his command. On the surface, the entire Leaf Village appeared prosperous and thriving, and most people thought so as well. However, Madara Uchiha and his group were still operating in the shadows. Even though Aoki had sent many ninjas to search for them, it was to no avail, which made him particularly vigilant.
Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu were exceptionally skilled at causing destruction. Who knew when they might launch a surprise attack! To prevent such an event, Aoki decided to take the initiative—to prepare and confront Madara Uchiha's faction!
"To deal with Madara Uchiha… the best candidates are undoubtedly those who understand him!" Aoki thought to himself. For example, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and others. Having grown up and fought alongside him for decades, their understanding of Madara Uchiha was absolutely thorough. But ninjas like Hashirama had been dead for a long time. Among the ninjas of that era, probably only Madara Uchiha remained, clinging to life like an indestructible cockroach.
Aoki quickly thought of a good solution: the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique! Yes, this Ninjutsu capable of resurrection. The conditions for using this technique were extremely stringent—one must possess the Rinnegan. Coincidentally, Aoki indeed had the Rinnegan! Thinking of this, he began researching this powerful resurrection Ninjutsu.
This technique was said to have harsh usage conditions, requiring the sacrifice of one's life. However, after careful study, Aoki found that this wasn't entirely true. Previously, Nagato had died after using this technique, but that was because his own life energy was nearly exhausted. Years of using the Six Paths of Pain and extensive Ninjutsu had already left his body drained. After using such a technique, of course he couldn't withstand it—his life energy was depleted too much, leading directly to death.
But after Aoki's research, he discovered that, for him, the life energy required by this technique was negligible. Compared to his own formidable life energy, it was merely a drop in the bucket. Upon realizing this fact, Aoki made up his mind: he would use the Reincarnation of Life Technique to summon a large number of powerful ninjas, greatly enhancing the combat strength on his side! No matter what schemes Madara Uchiha planned, there would be no need to worry!
Aoki decided to conduct a test first, reviving two powerful Hokages to try it out. If there were no issues, he would then proceed to revive other ninjas on a large scale. No sooner said than done. Aoki's eyes directly transformed into the Rinnegan. Simultaneously, a massive Chakra energy condensed from his body. Instantly, a giant King of Hell appeared on the empty ground before him. From the King of Hell's mouth, two green souls were spat out. Then, these two souls gradually solidified, turning into bodies completely identical to normal humans! They were none other than the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!
Upon sensing their resurrection, both were utterly astonished. "This… what is this? I've been revived?" Hashirama Senju said blankly. Tobirama's expression was even more grave. "What? We were clearly in the Pure Land… Could this be Edo Tensei? No… this feeling is no different from when we were alive!"
While they were shocked, Aoki remained silent, letting the two of them process their astonishment for a moment. He himself focused on sensing whether there was any discomfort in his body. After all, this was a powerful Ninjutsu capable of resurrecting people. After a thorough check, Aoki was very pleased. "No particular feeling! Just a bit less Chakra. It seems this technique can be used on a large scale next!"
Thinking of this, Aoki couldn't help but show a pleased expression. Being able to summon a large number of powerful individuals would increase the chances of victory against Madara Uchiha immeasurably! At this moment, Hashirama and Tobirama's gazes also fell upon Aoki. Seeing the Hokage robe he wore, they both understood. "Are you the new Hokage? Which generation?" Hashirama asked Aoki.
Aoki replied, "I am Aoki, the Fourth Hokage!" Hashirama nodded upon hearing this. "Is that so… It seems not much time has passed. Has that monkey Sarutobi also died?" Aoki nodded, then proceeded to recount all the despicable deeds committed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. Upon hearing this news, the two exchanged glances, feeling even more angered. They never expected such individuals to have been chosen as Hokage—they had truly misjudged!
After understanding the situation and looking at their fully resurrected bodies, Tobirama couldn't wait to ask, "Aoki, why have the two of us been revived here? Could it be that some new forbidden technique has emerged? It feels exactly like when we were alive—simply unbelievable!" True to Tobirama's nature, what concerned him most was still Ninjutsu.
Aoki spoke up, "This is the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique! A Ninjutsu that can completely resurrect people. Rest assured, this is different from techniques like Edo Tensei. You have been fully resurrected in your prime!" Upon hearing his words, both Hashirama and Tobirama wore expressions of disbelief. "Has the Ninja World… progressed so rapidly? Even such a technique exists?" Tobirama asked curiously.
Hashirama, however, wore a serious expression. "You revived us; there must be some important matter requiring our assistance, right? Has something happened to the Leaf?" Aoki smiled slightly. "No, we have unified the Ninja World." Hashirama and Tobirama: "…"
