Konoha: From Being Adopted by Tsunade – Chapter 324: Pure Land Summoning in the Metropolis of the Land of Fire
Natsume opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw clearly was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's delicate face.
Unlike ordinary humans, she always carried an awe-inspiring beauty—perhaps due to her extraordinary aura.
Natsume reached out and brushed aside a strand of white hair clinging to her forehead, revealing skin as pure as snow.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki woke up.
Their gazes met.
Her white eyes appeared emotionless at first glance.
But only Natsume knew how intense her emotions were—sometimes so much that even he felt afraid.
"Continue?"
Her lips parted slightly as she spoke.
Natsume quickly shook his head.
If they kept going like this, someone might not survive.
Besides, there were things to attend to.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki didn't speak further. Though reluctant, she never went back on her word once given to Natsume.
That was simply how she showed affection.
She sat up and slipped on her shoes.
Raising her hand, chakra flowed through her fingers, instantly cleansing the surrounding space.
Natsume felt as though he'd just taken a warm bath.
He mused that no one could rival Kaguya's abilities.
After changing clothes, the two left the room.
They stood in the back hall of the royal palace in the Land of Fire.
There were no outsiders disturbing them here.
Earlier, Karin and Tayuya had been present too, but now that they'd returned to Konoha Village, the place had grown very quiet.
Of course, it wasn't completely empty.
Mikoto Uchiha, who was pregnant, was staying here to rest and recover.
Natsume's second daughter would be born soon.
As for knowing it would be a daughter, all it took was a single glance from Kaguya's unique white eyes.
"That should do it."
Natsume gave a slight nod and stopped walking.
Reviving Rin Nohara required one more person.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths.
In theory, Rin's soul still lingered in the Pure Land.
She had merely been forcefully dragged into the ninja world via the *jutsu* known as Impure World Reincarnation.
Once the ninjutsu was lifted, she would return naturally.
Beyond that, Natsume also wanted to ask Hagoromo Otsutsuki a few questions.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki gave a slight nod.
The Pure Land was another dimension.
Natsume couldn't reach it directly.
However, Kaguya could.
After all, she was a master of space manipulation.
Techniques like [otsutsuki Teleportation] and [Amenominaka] both revolved around spatial manipulation.
The former enabled space teleportation, while the latter created new spaces.
Moreover, contacting Hagoromo was even simpler.
Kaguya flicked her hand.
Moments later, a glowing orb of white light appeared.
"Mother."
Hagoromo bowed slightly and spoke.
Kaguya pointed toward the direction behind her.
Natsume stood there.
"Father."
Helplessly, Hagoromo called again.
"Hashirama."
With a smile, Natsume asked, "Can you revive the souls in the Pure Land?"
In the original story, Hagoromo once summoned past Kage figures.
But those summoned were pure spirits—without physical form—and existed only temporarily.
"I cannot."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki explained, "I can only summon them. If sufficient chakra is provided, they can indeed exist for a long time."
"I see."
Natsume wasn't particularly surprised.
He'd already suspected as much.
It looked like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki would have her hands full again.
Only she could perform a perfect revival.
But it would consume a lot of chakra.
Natsume had previously considered whether Hagoromo could combine Pure Land with resurrection—then Konoha Village would become absolutely invincible.
How unfortunate that such good fortune was ultimately impossible.
Ultimately, it all came down to chakra.
Still, this operation could be implemented within the Heavenly Network.
Natsume had already instructed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to begin developing virtual games based on the God Tree.
In simple terms, it meant using the Heavenly Network login device to pull people's souls into the Heavenly Network to play games.
As for the games themselves, Natsume had previously exchanged them for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
She could directly replicate them within the Heavenly Network.
If Natsume's vision came to pass, future Great Ninja World Wars would become mere battles between players.
In a way, Nagato's dream of world peace might even come true.
"You should teach Kaguya the Pure Land Summoning technique,"
Natsume mused after a pause.
With Pure Land Summoning, there would be no need for Impure World Reincarnation anymore.
After all, the latter requires both the deceased's physical remains and a living vessel.
The cost is enormous.
Pure Land Summoning could summon souls anytime and anywhere.
Natsume knew Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was frugal when it came to chakra usage.
But persuading her once wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Of course, there was no need to revive those who had died too long ago.
The world had changed too much—bringing them back would only leave them confused.
Besides, doing so could cause major disruptions.
For instance, what if Sasuke Uchiha requested the revival of Fugaku Uchiha?
Natsume naturally wouldn't agree.
He had no interest in such dark whims.
Plus, Mikoto Uchiha was pregnant and couldn't afford any emotional shocks.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki extended his hand.
A sphere of chakra formed.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki took it and immediately absorbed the information.
In the ninja world, chakra was omnipotent.
It was quite convenient for transmitting information or memories—even possible with just a fist bump.
Of course, Hagoromo wouldn't dare do that, so he chose this approach instead.
"You may go now."
"Oh?!"
Seeing this, Natsume spoke.
Hagoromo was taken aback.
When had he ever been treated like this before?
This was simply... wonderful!
Hagoromo instantly disappeared.
He was old enough that his attachment to his parents had long faded.
Rather, being around Natsume felt somewhat unnatural and awkward.
So it was best not to meet often.
"He left really decisively,"
Natsume couldn't help but mutter.
"Should I call him back?"
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki tilted her head slightly and asked.
"Why did you suddenly say I'm cute?"
Natsume couldn't help smiling. He reached out and playfully pinched her cheek as he replied.
Kaguya didn't understand.
Why did he suddenly say she was cute?
But she didn't find it unpleasant at all.
"Let's go to Konoha Village."
Natsume let go of her face and took her hand instead.
[Flying Thunder God Technique] was activated.
The two appeared in the Hokage's office.
Mabo, seated in the Hokage's chair, nearly leapt from her seat in surprise.
She had just arrived not long ago and hadn't seen Natsume use the [Flying Thunder God Technique] frequently.
Therefore, she wasn't accustomed to it.
When she noticed it was Natsume, she quickly stood up and called out, "Hokage-sama."
Upon hearing this, Samui also stepped out from the room.
She glanced curiously at Kaguya Ōtsutsuki before greeting her as "Hokage-sama."
"Samui, go fetch Kakashi and Rin," Natsume instructed.
Natsume waved them off, signaling there was no need to bow respectfully.
Samui nodded and left the Hokage's office.
Mabo sat back down and resumed processing official paperwork.
In the original story, much like Shikamaru Nara, she was considered one of the high-IQ ninjas.
So Natsume grew even more lax, delegating all matters to her for processing.
Of course, he would still review everything once before sending them out for execution.
"Want some water?" Natsume casually asked.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki shook her head.
He didn't add another word.
Less than a minute passed before Samui returned.
Behind her followed Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara.
