Chapter 222

The situation took an emotional turn as everyone grappled with the intricate complexities of life, death, and the pursuit of a seemingly impossible resurrection.

"Carnes-san."

"As far as we know, the known owners of Rinnegan are just you and Pain."

"It implies that this technique..."

One of the ninjas began, his voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and concern.

The prerequisite for performing this resurrection jutsu rests solely on the one possessing Rinnegan, and with only two known wielders – Pain and Carnes – the choice was evident, but they were still not sure if Carnes would do that.

Carnes was the one, who told them that even if Hinata, among others, would die she could be resurrected using this jutsu in the aftermath of the war.

But now the main question lingered in everyone's mind: who would be the one to perform this jutsu?

Pain on the battlefield?

Or the Carnes standing before them?

The weight of the revelation hung in the air, and the only plausible candidates were Pain and Carnes.

The absurd idea that Pain, the antagonist who sought the destruction of Konoha.

And take the control of Naruto's Nine Tails, would sacrifice himself to use this jutsu for the greater good seemed implausible to them.

Hence, the realization settled upon them—the only viable candidate to perform this jutsu was the man standing before them – Carnes.

 Was he truly prepared to sacrifice himself to bring everyone back?

The idea of him sacrificing his life to bring back those lost in the war left the room in a collective state of astonishment and contemplation.

The motivation behind this act puzzled them.

The looming question echoed through their minds.

Why would Carnes choose to do this?

Was it influenced by something Jiraiya had told him, a responsibility he willingly shouldered?

Nervous glances were exchanged among Tsunade and other Konoha Village ninjas. It seemed they had collectively pieced together the truth of the matter.

They felt a mix of emotions—admiration, shock, and a subtle undercurrent of shame.

As if the weight of Carnes' sacrifice laid bare the extent of their own doubts and fears.

To willingly offer one's life for the resurrection of others embodied a noble spirit.

And Carnes, a man of considerable power, stood poised to make this selfless sacrifice.

The air crackled with anticipation as they awaited Carnes' response, their eyes reflecting a mixture of emotions as the unfolding drama reached a critical juncture.

What an admirable act—to sacrifice one's own life to resurrect others.

The essence of such nobility resonated deeply within the hearts of those present.

Carnes, a man of extraordinary power, stood at the epicenter of this profound moment.

The respect emanating from Konoha Village's ninjas skyrocketed, nearly on par with that accorded to

In that moment, the level of respect for Carnes among the Konoha ninjas skyrocketed.

It reached a new level and nearly rivaled the reverence reserved for the village's past Hokages.

Should anyone dare to disrespect Carnes, even without Demiurge intervention the fierce devotion of Konoha's shinobi would manifest without hesitation and they would face the prospect of swift retaliation.

The mere thought of such disrespect kindled a collective readiness to defend their newfound hero.

"Lord Carnes, unexpectedly... We find it hard to express my feelings right now.

Truly we're at a loss for words right now."

One ninja stammered, struggling to articulate the overwhelming emotions.

"To think there exists such a remarkable individual as Lord Carnes in this world! Truly..." another chimed in.

"This is incredible, woohoo..."

The atmosphere buzzed with a chorus of emotions—gratitude, awe, and unrestrained joy.

The Konoha Village ninjas were overwhelmed with emotion, their sentiments shattering any semblance of composure.

Their stoic facades shattered by the magnitude of Carnes' selfless act.

Carnes observed the faces before him, his brows furrowing with a touch of bewilderment.

Why, though?

Why were they all looking at him like this? Was everyone out of their minds?

"Are you all out of your minds?" he mused inwardly.

An internal dialogue unfolded in Carnes' mind.

Did they really believe he would be the one to use this jutsu and save their lives, by sacrificing his own?
