Chapter 82 - 75: Revival (1/2)

In the middle of the destroyed Konoha, the King of Hell suddenly emerged from the ground. The people suddenly feared that something bad might happen again.

The King of Hell opened its mouth before releasing countless souls from its mouth. All the souls returned to their bodies, reviving them completely.

The others saw the people they thought died, rise up. They were confused because they saw the enemy use this to kill people earlier.

Slowly, everyone who died this day in the village was revived. Everybody just heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that they won't have to mourn for anyone anytime soon.

(Meanwhile, in an unknown place)

The place was dark, no light could be seen anywhere. Kakashi woke up having a headache and when he opened his eyes, he saw nothing but the darkness. He tried using his chakra but later found out that he couldn't use his chakra.

”Where am I?” Asked Kakashi, who's very confused right now.

The only thing he remembers just before he ended up here was that he was fighting all the Pains at once. He managed to take down 3 of them but ended up getting killed by the Pain that uses gravity ninjutsu.

(Note: In this fanfic, he is almost as strong as the sannins even without his sharingan).

He extended his right hand, trying to touch something physical. He stood up and started walking with no clear destination. He felt as if his body was moving on its own. He walked towards something, not knowing where he will end up.

1 Hour…

2 Hours....

3 Hours…

Just as he felt that there was no end to this place, he saw something in the distance. A light lit by a bonfire. But he saw that there was someone else there, too.

That person had a kind face with dark eyes which had deep lines running underneath them. He had spiky, silver-coloured hair that reached into the middle of his back tied in a ponytail and bangs that hung over his forehead protector. He wore a standard Konoha-nin uniform with a pair of gloves, flak jacket, bandages on his right arm, and the addition of a distinctive short white sleeve which had red edges and the standard crest of Uzushiogakure on it.

He was just sitting on a log near the bonfire. That person then turned his face slightly, and smiled warmly before saying, ”You sure have grown up, Kakashi!”

Kakashi seemed to just smile to himself as he walked towards the bonfire. He then sat right beside that man and said, ”It's been a long time, father.”

”Yeah, and now that you're here, would you tell me your tale?” Said Sakumo.

”Alright, but it's going to be a long one and I'd like to take my time.” Kakashi replied.

”Yeah, that's fine.” Sakumo said with a slight smile.

Kakashi then looked upwards meaninglessly and said, ”Now, where do I start?”

(Back With Hikaru)

After using the [Gedo-Rinne Tensei], Nagato promptly fell down with a smile on his face as his red hair completely turned into white. Konan rushed towards her fallen friend, just to see whether he was alive or not.

”Now, now, please get away from him.” Hikaru said, as he grabbed Nagato's soul from passing towards Limbo.

Konan cried as she held Nagato's body closed to her. She then gently put down the corpse of Nagato and turned around to face Hikaru. She spreads her arm widely, just like someone trying to protect something.

”I will not let you disgrace him any further! I'll protect him, even if I have to put down my life as well!” Konan's voice resonated around them. Her will to protect the dead body behind her was surely admirable, but…

”You're being a nuisance, sit down!” Hikaru commanded coldly before she felt a huge pressure on her back. She forcefully knelt down due to the heavy pressure but she still kept her posture, Hikaru saw that her face was not flinching, only her will to protect Nagato's corpse was shown on her face.

He face palmed at the stupidity of this woman. He was just about to revive Nagato but she just had to get in his way.

”Tch, i didn't want to use this.” Hikaru said as he pointed his finger at Konan before an inch small yellow lightning bolt came out of his finger and charged at her at light speed.

”[Paralyze]”

The small lightning bolt hit her and she quickly fell down to the ground, unmoving. She was paralyzed. From time to time, yellow lightning arcs would flash around her body.

Hikaru then walked towards Nagato, ignoring her. She tried moving to at least stop him but her actions were futile, since she couldn't even move an inch. No matter how much Will you have, that is still not enough to resist absolute power.

Hikaru knelt down to inspect Nagato's body. Seeing that there was no other injury other than his malnutrition, he decided to fix his body first to a more normal way. But first…

Squelch!
