Yu Zhibo watched the interactions between the anime characters with amusement. At the same time, he diverted his attention to Hashirama Senju's perspective, discovering that the latter was using Wood Style clones to assist superhumans along the coast in eliminating sea beasts, clearly intending to return.
Meanwhile, Naruto, after interacting with Jiraiya, also walked towards Yu Zhibo, his face beaming with happiness.
His beloved teacher had been resurrected. Even though he no longer recognized him, Naruto was still overjoyed. However, he wished to revive more companions. With that in mind, he asked Yu Zhibo with great enthusiasm, "Acting Administrator, when can we start the mission? I can't wait!"
As he spoke, he began counting on his fingers, "Hinata, Kakashi-sensei, Iruka-sensei, Konohamaru, Shikamaru, Choji, Sakura, Lee, Kiba, Choji, Ino, Tenten..."
Towards the end, his face showed a thoughtful expression, "Who else was there?"
As expected, Shino Aburame's presence was as low as ever. Just as Yu Zhibo was about to remind him, he saw Naruto clap his head and declare with renewed vigor, "Never mind, I'm going to revive all of them! And Third Grandpa, Nagato-senpai, everyone, not a single one can be left behind!"
Yu Zhibo could see that after Uzumaki Naruto spoke these words, both the Minato couple, the young Jiraiya, and Sakumo Hatake showed expressions of approval, their gazes towards Naruto filled with admiration.
Jiraiya, in particular, after hearing Nagato's name, showed a hint of contemplation alongside his admiration.
"Is this the charm of a protagonist? Truly a pure heart, no wonder he could talk-no-jutsu so many inwardly dark ninjas," Yu Zhibo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. With his intuition, he could naturally feel the sincerity in Naruto's words. Looking at his bond values...
Good heavens, among the names he mentioned, everyone had a bond value of over ten points with him, meeting the prerequisite for purchasing their souls. Xiao Nan was an exception, but even Yahiko had inexplicably reached a bond of 10 points.
In addition to them, there were Teuchi and his daughter, Asuma, the two Chunin guards, Gaara, Killer Bee, and nearly a hundred others, all of whom had reached 10 points.
He was truly a god of bonds!
On the other side, Might Guy's eyes welled up with tears. "Fighting for the resurrection of a dear friend? This is youth! But I'm not to be outdone, Naruto. If you don't mention others, Kakashi and Lee will be resurrected by me personally!"
"Ah, Guy-uncle, let's work hard together!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly!
Then, Might Guy was about to embrace Naruto in a tearful reunion, but Naruto unhesitatingly refused.
"So chuunibyou!" Yu Zhibo couldn't help but inwardly scoff at the scene before him. But undoubtedly, Naruto was a qualified leek. The mere intention of reviving so many people was enough to save him a lot of energy points in the future.
With this thought, Yu Zhibo chuckled inwardly and continued to wait. He was currently awaiting notification from Wang Shouyi. Once the notification arrived and Ling Wanjun was free, they would head directly to the Fusang Toilet Society.
After a few more minutes, Yu Zhibo felt a blur of afterimages before his eyes. It was a clone carrying Orochimaru back into the light barrier using the Flying Thunder God Technique, clearly having purchased the corresponding biological research equipment.
Beside him, Minato, who had been observing in secret, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze towards Yu Zhibo filled with a hint of shock.
"So many people have arrived already?" Orochimaru licked his lips, standing beside the clone, and looked at everyone with an expression of keen interest.
"Why do you always have that expression of keen interest? As if you could defeat anyone here!" the disrupter clone couldn't help but retort before dispersing with a finger gesture.
Orochimaru: "..."
"You're right, I've been annoyed by that expression of his for a long time!" Jiraiya, seeing his friend's predicament, burst into laughter.
"It's you, Orochimaru!" Naruto pointed at Orochimaru and shouted, "The guy who took Sasuke!"
He instinctively wanted to make a move, but that thought quickly vanished. This was because the system had forcibly implanted an instinct that prevented him from attacking his teammates.
"Shut up, I told you you don't need to concern yourself with my affairs!" Sasuke Uchiha said coldly from the corner.
A few more minutes passed, and Hashirama Senju finally arrived at the Ningcheng branch. Yu Zhibo opened the entrance to the World Heart fragment and let him in, causing everyone except Sasuke Uchiha to show expressions of surprise and joy.
"First Hokage-sama!" several of them greeted, feeling a sense of calm. Just moments ago, Madara Uchiha had put considerable pressure on them.
Hashirama Senju was not only the strongest in Konoha but also had the record of defeating Madara Uchiha, giving them a great sense of security.
Only Orochimaru, whose First Hokage cells had turned to powder, looked at Hashirama with respect, but his face also showed an expression of keen interest.
Seeing everyone greet him and looking at their forehead protectors, although he didn't recognize them, Hashirama Senju guessed their identities. He then revealed his signature tonsil smile, laughed heartily, and his gaze fell on the Fourth Hokage's attire, asking curiously, "Judging by your attire, are you..."
"Ah, I am the Fourth Hokage. I died later while fighting against the tailed beasts," Minato said, scratching his head and smiling somewhat sheepishly.
"Tailed beasts? Is it the Nine-Tails? I can sense its aura within you, but can this thing also kill people?" Hashirama Senju looked puzzled. He truly couldn't understand. After his death, had the succeeding Hokage of Konoha become this weak?
Both Minato and Naruto, within whom the Nine-Tails resided, heard Hashirama's words but dared not utter a sound.
Next, Hashirama Senju asked everyone about the development and changes in Konoha after his death.
Yu Zhibo, who had become bored waiting, silently put away the remaining four light barriers and released Itachi Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, the Third and Fourth Raikage.
The two Raikage's pupils contracted upon seeing Hashirama Senju, and then they remained silent, doing their best to minimize their presence.
Obito Uchiha, still recovering from his serious injuries, also fell into silence.
As for the last one...
"It's you, Hashirama!" Madara Uchiha, as soon as he appeared, drew all eyes towards Hashirama Senju. At this moment, his memory was still stuck in the state before his life-and-death battle with Hashirama, where he faked his death using Izanagi.
Madara Uchiha's emotions were currently very agitated. Of course, this was not love or anger, but a desire to fight.
After gaining control of the power within his body, he felt that he was more than a notch stronger than before his resurrection, thus his fighting spirit surged, wanting to defeat his dear friend and rival, Hashirama Senju.
"There's no time for infighting now, Madara!"
Hashirama Senju was also very happy to see Madara Uchiha, but he said sternly, "I believe you've absorbed the information provided by the system and know the crisis this world is facing. Isn't pursuing peace our lifelong dream? You sought new methods because your brother died, but now with the system, I will personally revive Izuna! Then we will join hands to build a harmonious society together!"
Well... he learned about the harmonious society from the memories of that college student, and after understanding the relevant concepts, he found it quite feasible.
Madara Uchiha calmed down upon hearing this, snorted, and said, "Regardless, our battle has not ended. As for Izuna, I will revive him myself, you don't need to worry about it!"
He was indeed an old tsundere from the start.
"Hahaha!" Hashirama Senju laughed heartily. "I also cherish opponents like you, but our battles will inevitably cause great internal friction. With this strength, it's better to kill more invading powerful enemies!"
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but nod slightly: Comrade Senju's ideological awareness is quite high!
After a moment of thought, he said, "To resolve the conflicts between ninjas, once someone among you reaches five hundred energy points, the system will enter version 2.0 update. A virtual arena will then appear, specifically for resolving ninja grievances, and it will replicate the pain sensation 100%. You can try it then."
"Then it's settled!" Madara Uchiha said with fighting spirit, "I will definitely earn 5 million energy points first!"
Hashirama Senju laughed heartily, his dark eyes incredibly firm, his expression saying it all.
After waiting for a while longer, the Shenghua app notification popped up. Yu Zhibo opened the software, and there was a message from Wang Shouyi: 'Minister Ling is ready, we can act anytime!'
"We're ready to depart!" Yu Zhibo said, scanning everyone.
"I'm ready!" Naruto exclaimed with excitement and anticipation.
The others remained silent, but their expressions were filled with fighting spirit.
Yu Zhibo smiled slightly, sensed the jade pendant worn by Ling Wanjun, which was inscribed with the Flying Thunder God mark, and disappeared from his original spot using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
