Be the Main God from Naruto - Chapter 80
So here’s the question:
Is this Third Raikage the historical Third Raikage?
Yes and no.
Wang Yan had pulled the soul of the Third Raikage from the Shinigami, but the rough method had accidentally wiped all his memories.
Unwilling to admit his experimental failure, Wang Yan took the DNA of the Fourth Raikage and copied his memories.
Fallen hair and skin flakes from natural shedding…
Obtaining someone’s genetic fragments was no challenge for Wang Yan.
After that, he spent some reward points in exchange for some flesh-constructing elements, directly manipulating particles to reconstruct flesh. Then, he implanted false memories based on the Fourth Raikage’s impressions and thoughts.
Thus, a version of the Third Raikage was born as envisioned by the Fourth Raikage.
After taking a punch, the Fourth Raikage immediately recognized his father.
“Father, you’re revived?” He blinked, full of confusion.
Although his father seemed slightly weaker, that temper and blood connection were unmistakable!
Wang Yan watched their conversation with a half-smile, not intervening.
Cells are the basic units of life, with all life activities carried out by cells. The human cell renewal cycle generally ranges from 120-200 days, meaning all cells are replaced roughly every 6-7 years.
So, is the self of seven years later the same as seven years ago?
This is a philosophical question.
For now, the Fourth Raikage acknowledged this man as his father.
“Let me introduce you. This is Lord Wang Yan from the Ninja World Peace Council! Thanks to him, I was able to be revived!”
The Third Raikage didn’t feel like an artificial creation; with implanted false memories, he believed Wang Yan to be his savior.
Currently, he holds the status of an ordinary council member.
Revived, his strength was significantly weaker than at his peak, and besides combat, he had no other specialties. Not being classified as a “Die-level” member solely for experimental use was already fortunate.
The Fourth Raikage’s face twitched slightly upon hearing his father’s words.
After a while, he finally decided and bowed deeply to Wang Yan: “Thank you!”
No more talk about fighting or sparring.
“You’re welcome.” Wang Yan’s tone was playful.
He didn’t intend to recruit the two as Reincarnators for now.
However, in the future, when the Reincarnation Space was established, having only Reincarnation would not be enough.
A society with a single type of member and solidified classes cannot be maintained for long.
This meeting, and even the earlier guidance of Hinata Hyuga’s fate, were all part of Wang Yan’s experiments and preparations for the societal structure of the Reincarnation Space.
…
Konoha, Hyuga Clan.
Neji Hyuga held a comic book, recalling the unpublished manuscript he had seen earlier, his face full of melancholy.
“Even if I die and gouge out these Byakugan, I will never reread her work!”
He closed his eyes, trying to clear the mental pollution he had just received.
Moments later, veins extended from his tightly shut eyes.
“It’s Hinata’s work; I should go through it. How else will I understand what she’s thinking?”
“Wind Rises in the Land of Fire,” Volume 2: Gender-bender World.
“Hiss… Amazingly, cannot only males but even shurikens and swords turn into girls?”
Accepting the concept of weapon girls, Neji found it inexplicably interesting and unwittingly finished Volume 2.
“This book… is perfect.”
Neji couldn’t put it down, planning to re-read Volume 2 carefully.
He heard light footsteps.
Opening his eyes, he saw a red-haired girl standing before him.
“Neji-nii, Father wants you to go to the parlor. There’s an important guest.”
The red-haired girl wore glasses, looking gentle but occasionally showing hints of masculine vigor.
Her name was Karin Uzumaki.
No…
Now, she should be called Karin Hyuga.
“Okay.”
Neji smiled warmly and went to the parlor with Karin.
Upon seeing the so-called “distinguished guest,” Neji’s smile gradually froze.
A giant gourd on his back, fiery red hair, the kanji “Love” on his forehead…
Who else could it be but Gaara?
After the strongest Chunin Exam in history, the name “Red Hair” from Akatsuki had spread widely.
Hinata, Hanabi, and even Karin had become fangirls of “Red Hair.”
As a sis-con, Neji had a thousand curses ready.
At this moment, Hiashi Hyuga spoke: “Neji, this is Mr. Red Hair from Akatsuki. You’re about the same age, so learning from him would be beneficial.”
Neji squinted at Gaara’s fake smile, feeling utterly sickened.
Green-eyed boys are naturally incompatible with “other people’s children.”
However, he knew this was his uncle showing concern, so he had to accept it despite his displeasure.
“Hello.” Gaara greeted amicably.
Neji replied indifferently: “Hello.”
Suddenly, he remembered something else.
Originally, Hinata had paired Haku and Neji in the comic. Only after Neji’s strong protest did she change it.
After peaking at Hinata’s outline for Volume 3, Neji felt like he had a herd of sheep rampaging in his mind.
Why force him and that psychopath killer Gaara together?
It was better left unchanged!
Even though the gender-bent Gaara was indeed quite beautiful in the comic…
“But no ‘buts’! I mustn’t think about this dangerous topic anymore!”
Soon after, Hinata and Hanabi arrived at the parlor.
The first thing they did was ask “Red Hair” for an autograph.
“I see.”
Feeling Neji’s jealous gaze, Gaara thought he understood the source of the hostility.
He gave Neji a “no need to explain, I understand” look.
What’s a sis-con?
His comrade Uchiha Itachi was a crazy bro-con!
Neji misunderstood Gaara’s intention.
That ambiguous glance made Neji feel a chill run up his spine, his skin prickling.
“Feeling unwell, I’ll go rest.”
Neji found an excuse to leave.
With the nuisance gone, Gaara quickly explained his purpose.
After hearing Gaara’s question, everyone fell silent.
Being young and inexperienced, Hanabi was of no help; Hiashi, despite being the clan head, had no relevant experience; and Karin’s past was merely as a walking blood bank, equally unhelpful.
However, Hinata puffed her cheeks, her tiny fist against her chin, looking like a thinker.
“An art exhibition…”
After a while.
She clapped her hands, her face lighting up excitedly: “How can an art exhibition be complete without cosplay!”
Gaara felt there was something dangerous in this Byakugan girl’s eyes.
Suppressing the urge to punch her, he asked patiently, “What?”
Hinata, eyes sparkling, looked at him with the air of a martyr for art: “Cosplay, short for Costume Play, involves participants dressing up as characters from artworks using costumes, accessories, props, and makeup.”
She then took out a scroll and handed it to Gaara.
“This ‘Wind Rises in the Land of Fire’ is currently the hottest manga in the ninja world, popular among all ages, far surpassing the second-place ‘Make-Out Paradise’!”
“The Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade, praised the first volume!”
“The second volume, even Lady Tsunade and the other Kage couldn’t accurately evaluate.”
Gaara, bewildered, took the scroll.
After a moment of thought, he asked, “So we just need a few people to cosplay the characters in this book?”
Hinata smiled meaningfully: “It’s best if you participate too. After all, having outsiders direct professionals will only make a farce.”
