Forbidden Technique: One’s Own Life Reincarnation
It was developed by the future version of Elder Chiyo for the sake of her grandson, Sasori of the Red Sand. One of only two known jutsu in the Naruto world capable of bringing someone back from the dead.
After traveling to the future timeline, Rasa naturally began collecting various powers that existed in that era to strengthen both himself and Sunagakure.
There was no way he could overlook such a legendary technique. This jutsu transforms chakra into life force. To truly bring someone back from the dead, the cost was immense; it required sacrificing all of one’s chakra. Losing all chakra meant death. However, if it was merely used for healing, then the cost wasn’t as severe.
After obtaining this forbidden technique, Rasa began experimenting. He discovered that even senjutsu energy could be used to activate it. From within Chiyo’s original structure, he uncovered the reason why.
This technique resembled the sealing arts practiced by the Uzumaki clan.
Realizing this, Rasa instantly identified the origin. This resurrection ability did not arise from the Sage of Six Paths' power. Instead, it came from the Shinigami, whose strength was utilized by the Uzumaki clan.
This revelation piqued Rasa’s interest in the Shinigami even more.
Because while the senjutsu energy he possessed could grant life to non-living matter, it couldn’t grant life to living organisms or bring the dead back to life. That level of power, true resurrection, was something even senjutsu couldn’t achieve.
So why was Rasa trying to save this Jinchūriki who was on the verge of death?
There was only one reason: he had suddenly thought of something.
Considering the Sage of Six Paths was still watching over this shinobi world, Rasa didn’t want to act too aggressively toward the Tailed Beasts. But on the other hand, if these Tailed Beasts willingly offered him their chakra, then even the Sage of Six Paths wouldn’t have any grounds to object, right?
Besides, for Rasa, there was little to lose by trying. If he failed, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, if he succeeded, the payoff would be enormous.
After all, he was currently facing three Tailed Beasts. If he could obtain their chakra, Rasa would instantly possess the chakra of five Tailed Beasts.
Shukaku, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken!
Under the effects of Life-for-Life Rebirth, it didn’t take long for the Jinchūriki’s condition to stabilize.
Then, Rasa immediately cast a sealing technique to completely seal the Jinchūriki.
“Baki!”
As Rasa’s voice rang out, Baki, who wore a face full of admiration and excitement, appeared in front of him.
He had just witnessed the entire battle without daring to blink even once. Such overwhelmingly powerful Tailed Beasts had been effortlessly and cleanly sealed by the Kazekage-sama before his very eyes. Once again, Baki found himself worshipping the strength that Rasa possessed.
And it wasn’t just Baki. All the Sunagakure villagers and shinobi who were busy tending to the wounded and injured paused upon seeing that scene. For the first time, they had truly witnessed the might of their Kazekage with their own eyes. At the same time, a powerful sense of pride and confidence rose in their hearts toward their village, prompting them to redouble their efforts in healing their comrades.
As for the many spies hidden within Sunagakure from various other factions, after witnessing what had just happened, they were completely dumbfounded.
“In-incredible...”
“Is this... the Kazekage of Sunagakure?!”
“The Demigod of the Sand!!!”
As for Rasa, after casually tossing the Six Tails’ Jinchūriki to Baki, he immediately flew off toward the other side of Sunagakure.
At the same time as Rasa was sealing the Six Tails, the battle on the side of the Four Tails and Five Tails was still raging.
The manifestation of Shukaku was fighting against the Four Tails’ Jinchūriki, while the Wood Human battled the Five Tails’ Jinchūriki.
On the vast plains blasted open by Tailed Beast Balls, four colossal creatures, each over fifty or sixty meters tall, were locked in close-quarters combat. Every punch and every step they took unleashed enough force to tear the earth asunder.
In terms of pure offensive power, the Four Tails and Five Tails were clearly stronger than the Shukaku’s Avatar and the Wood Human. Because neither the Shukaku’s Avatar nor the Wood Human could use the Tailed Beasts’ most destructive move, the Tailed Beast Ball.
Without powerful offensive abilities, they relied solely on the brute strength their massive forms provided. However, in terms of defense, the Shukaku’s Avatar and the Wood Human were not at any disadvantage.
First of all, the sand, iron sand, and gold sand making up the Shukaku’s Avatar, and the body forming the Wood Human, were all created by Rasa using senjutsu energy. This gave them a natural advantage against chakra-based beings like Tailed Beasts due to their chakra-absorbing properties.
Second, unlike the living Tailed Beasts, the Shukaku’s Avatar and the Wood Human were non-living constructs. This meant that damage to their physical forms didn’t affect their functionality much. Even if broken, they could quickly regenerate, just like fearless, deathless warriors.
Because of that, while Rasa was sealing the Six Tails, the Shukaku’s Avatar and Wood Human perfectly fulfilled their roles.
They kept the Four Tails and Five Tails restrained, preventing them from advancing a single step. They couldn’t even launch a Tailed Beast Ball, because the moment they tried, what awaited them were massive fists slamming into their faces.
This, however, also marked the limit of Rasa’s power. With his current strength, he could only manage to take on three Tailed Beasts at once. Any more, and Sunagakure would likely face inevitable destruction.
It was a valuable lesson.
Ever since Rasa had created the Dragon’s Oasis, all of the village’s elite forces had been moved there, leaving Sunagakure itself rather vulnerable. But that was a problem for later. Right now,
Shu!
Rasa used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear atop the Shukaku’s Avatar’s head. The equally massive Wood Human stood firmly at his side.
Facing him were the controlled Four Tails Son Gokū and Five Tails Kokuō. The Shukaku’s Avatar and Wood Human did lack attack power, when not under Rasa’s control. But once Rasa was actively directing them, everything changed.
And now that he no longer had to control the Six Tails, Madara’s control over the Four Tails and Kokuō became more refined as well.
“Then let’s see, how excited you can make me!”
As Madara Uchiha formed hand seals, the enormous forms of the Four Tails and Five Tails once again began condensing Tailed Beast Balls. This time, they did it faster, with even greater power.
“Continuous Tailed Beast Bombs!”
In an instant, dozens of Tailed Beast Bombs, each one meter in diameter, shot toward Rasa like a barrage of cannonballs.
“Sage Arts: Magnet Release: Shukaku’s Shield!”
A massive desert wall, like a great fortress, rose directly in front of Sunagakure’s entrance.
Boom... boom... boom...
Everyone in Sunagakure could feel the tremors and witness the blinding flashes of light from the continuous explosions in the distance.
It was evident that if even one of those Tailed Beast Bombs had struck the village, the devastation would have been unimaginable. Yet, after a whole minute of relentless bombardment, the end of Sunagakure was shrouded in clouds of sand and dust.
Not a single Tailed Beast Bomb had broken through Rasa’s absolute defense.
Then, in the sudden silence that followed, a cold, indifferent voice rang out.
“Sage Arts: Magnet Release: Gold Sand Waterfall!”
Boom!
From within the swirling sandstorm, the Shukaku’s Avatar transformed into a colossal wave of sand, forty to fifty meters tall, and surged toward the Four Tails and Five Tails.
