Chapter 18 - Dai Fukkatsu

''Hiruzen! For how long are you going to let that kid run rampant! The whole Senju Clan listens to him like they are some kind of dog! He is a child!'' Danzo slammed Hiruzen's desk which caused him to frown and look at Danzo.

''Did he hurt anyone innocent?'' Hiruzen asked seriously to which Danzo gritted his teeth and reluctantly shook no.

''So that means we can't do anything, none of them actually fought back against the ANBU and either surrendered themself or ran if they could. We can't do anything without causing dissatisfaction amongst the villagers'' Hiruzen said as he went back to reading his documents.

''Then I will do it myself!'' Danzo angrily retorted as he turned his back towards Hiruzen who left him a few parting words,

''Their last elder, Marani, still has a lot of energy left. The Chuunin exams are in a week so you better hold off your plans until after that. Besides, Tsunade will arrive tomorrow at the latest. I'm planning to let them both meet at a clan head gathering, this will cause some turmoil in the Senju's hopefully''

It was clear that Hiruzen and Danzo didn't have any spies left, so they didn't know about exactly how Sukuna had gained all their trust. In the last few weeks, the Senju's had taken less and less missions which caused the village income to decrease a bit.

Although it wasn't catastrophic, the money could've gone to many things yet it was clear that Sukuna had told his Clan to do other things.

'That brat reminds me of the stories Sensei used to tell me about Madara Uchiha' Hiruzen thought as he took a puff of his pipe.

If only Danzo wasn't so egotistical and shared all the information he had about Sukuna, then Hiruzen might have made a different choice at that moment.

However, the moment he would realize, it would be too late....

…

''Akai, did you get her corpse?'' Sukuna asked with a serious tone as he walked across the building site of the residential apartments with Akai following closely behind him.

''Yes, I replaced it with a fake just to make sure. I left her corpse in your basement'' Akai nodded with an expressionless look on her face.

''Good, we don't have much time. We need something to deter everyone, I just hope she can lead me to it'' Sukuna said with a cold look as he gave Akai instructions for the following week until the Chuunin Exams started.

Sukuna, ever since he took [Edo Tensei] from the library, had put atleast 1/3rd of his clones to studying, experimenting, testing it.

The original technique actually only reincarnated someone for 20% with a stiff body. Narutally, the cost was quite low since it only needed something of the person you were trying to reincarnate like a piece of flesh and a mortal life.

Yet now Sukuna had completely transformed the technique....

---

[Dai Fukkatsu (???)] Beginner – Makes the user able to reincarnate someone with flowing Chakra Pathways, blood flow and a heartbeat. The reincarnated person will be under complete control if user wishes to do so.

Restrictions:

Original needs to have had less Chakra than the user's own before they died (External Chakra is not valid from both sides)

Reincarnation won't be able to increase their Chakra Pool

Removes 10% of the user's chakra permanently

---

This was Sukuna's bet, he had put dozens of clones onto studying this technique and did many inhumane experiments on enemies or bandits that he had tasked people to catch alive.

However, he didn't regret a thing.

He would never touch an ally, but enemies? He didn't regard them as human in the first place.

'Now that she will have flowing Chakra Veins, I hope she can lead me to it' Sukuna thought as he sighed, he walked into his home and went straight to the basement.

The basement was clearly dug out recently as it was the size of his house with many beams supporting the ground above to not make the structure collapse.

Dried blood and weird marks decorated the rooms while the basement was lit up by multiple big ceiling lights. A big research lab with all kind of tubes and machines stood in a corner next to a door into the wall.

Sukuna went through the door and was instantly greeted by many muffled screams of many bound people that had bags covering their heads.

When they heard a door open, they had some slight hope and tried to scream for help, but unfortunately for them they weren't getting any as Sukuna made several Shadow Clones to grab them all and bring them into the basement.

[Dai Fukkatsu] required 10% of his own chakra to be activated. However, Sukuna wasn't willing to part with it.

'Edo Tensei requires a mortal life to act as a vessel for their reincarnation, I have her own body and I can reincarnate her own body by transplanting the Chakra Veins of multiple people and infusing them as one using the Great Reversal Technique that Hashirama made'

Sukuna had found out multiple things as he studied some techniques from the library. Every technique Hashirama made that he put in the library before his death was to save people. However, his brother was the extreme opposite.

All his techniques were about controlling, killing, torturing people in the worst ways possible.

However, just like how love and hate are one side of the same coin, these techniques were the same. So what did you get by combining the two and adding Sukuna's brain into it?

Dai Fukkatsu without a penalty except for that he had to have the same amount of Chakra as them before they died without external factors.

Sukuna walked towards the coffin in the middle of the room and began placing all the people around it.

In total, he had 24 people that were at least as strong as a new Chuunin spread around the coffin in a circle as he stood in front of it.

Sukuna took a deep breath and let his clones unseal their mouths and uncover their heads, as all of the captives felt their head being uncovered and their mouth's restriction being released, their hopes got up...

Until they saw where they were.

The dark basement, a coffin, all of them pinned down in a circle with their arms and legs bound while an emotionless looking youth stood there, just looking at them as if they were some kind of animal in a zoo.

''W...wait! Please wait! I have a family! I will do whatever you say but please let me live!'' A man that looked like a brute said as tears started falling down his face.

''Sir! No, master! Please let me serve you instead! I will be obedient but please just let me live!'' An enchanting woman with short blond hair and a mole under her right eye said with a begging tone.

''Y...yes! Same here! Please let me live!'' Another woman chimed in as other people started to beg as well.

''I have many techniques from the Hidden Cloud hidden away! I will give you all of them in exchange for my life!''

''Sir, I just got a child! I will give you all my belongings as long as you let me live!''

''Master, please do....''

Sukuna walked over to the enchanting lady and put a finger under her chin to look at her face, the woman got her hopes up and smiled beautifully as she thought she was saved, only to hear Sukuna's cold voice,

''6 Points at most''

The woman felt her brain and heart shatter as she wanted to scream but Sukuna already held his hands together and yelled, ''Dai Fukkatsu!''

''W...What iS THIS-?!'' ''SAVE M-… ARRGHH!'' ''P...PLEASE! IT HURTS!'' ''Please... just end!... this nightmare... and KILL ME!!''

Many screams resounded through Sukuna's ears, but he paid them no heed as his 7 orifices started bleeding. His hands moved rapidly as blood continued pouring down his face, however, this was all according to his calculations.

After around three minutes, the screams were silent as their body desegrated before moving towards the coffin. It seemed like they had turned into a mass of Chakra that raced towards the coffin.

Sukuna took a deep breath as he sank to his knees, his body felt extremely weak as he looked hopefully at the coffin.

There was no sound coming from the coffin which made Sukuna more and more nervous, only after around 30 minutes was there a slight sound.

Sukuna just sat there as he had already recovered, he had already undone the seals on her body before he started the reincarnation process so once she was able to move comfortably, she should be able to come out.

And indeed....

A soft impact noise of a fist hitting wood was rang through his ears. From soft, to harder, to loud, to eventually a fist punching the lit of the casket.

A beautiful girl hesitantly sat up in the coffin as she looked around, after she laid eyes on Sukuna, he merely smiled with his blood-drenched face and said,

''Welcome back to the world of the living, Rin Nohara''
