Chapter 78: I'm Back, and I Will Conquer the Five Great Nations!

As Hagoromo Gengetsu was traveling peacefully, he suddenly noticed that four ninjas, who should have passed by, were instead surrounding him, looking at him like a prey. He mused, "Is the ninja world so unsafe now?"

One of the ninjas, Mizutora, who seemed unaware of whom they were confronting, touched his armor, which could absorb and sense chakra, and excitedly exclaimed, "It's this person! My armor detects an immense chakra within him, exactly what we need for our plan!"

His companion, Tortuga, laughed heartily, "It's fate! Our ancestor is truly guiding us!"

The group was thrilled, for they hadn't expected to encounter someone with the necessary chakra for their plan in the vast forest. Despite the likely formidable strength of someone with such chakra, they preferred facing this stranger over a Jinchūriki guarded by one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations.

One member, Ryuugan, drew his blade, eager to act, "Let's capture him quickly and revive our ancestor!"

Hagoromo Gengetsu, intrigued, asked, "Revival? You intend to revive someone?"

Without full details, one of the ninjas, Kujaku, pridefully revealed, "Stranger, you should feel honored to participate in the revival of our great ancestor."

Gengetsu, amused, replied, "Not just anyone can be revived. It's not something to take lightly."

Kujaku, angered, retorted, "Fool! Our ancestor was a legendary figure like Hagoromo Gengetsu or Senju Hashirama. If Hagoromo can be revived, so can our ancestor!"

Gengetsu pondered, recalling no other figures of equal fame from his time. He inquired, "What's your ancestor's name?"

Before Kujaku could answer, Tortuga quickly activated a jutsu, "Ningu: Steel Prison!"

Steel bars rapidly emerged from the ground, forming an impenetrable cage around Gengetsu. Houki, seeing this, sighed in relief, "Got him! That was easier than expected."

Ryuugan, disappointed, remarked, "I expected a real fight. This guy is weak."

Kujaku, eager to proceed, urged, "Let's revive the ancestor!"

As Tortuga prepared to move forward, Gengetsu's calm voice emerged from the prison, "So, who is this ancestor of yours?"

Tortuga,unnerved by Gengetsu's composure, responded sharply, "You will see soon enough."

Tortuga initiated the revival, channeling the absorbed chakra into a summoned coffin. Upon opening it, a corpse was revealed, leaving Gengetsu puzzled, "Who is this person?"

The four continued, utilizing various high-level ninja tools and a life-sacrifice jutsu to revive the body. After a bright flash, a youthful figure floated above the ground, equipped with the ninja tools. The figure, who called himself Seimei, declared, "I'm back, and I will lead our village to conquer the Five Great Nations!"

The three ninjas knelt, expressing their devotion. However, their moment was interrupted by Gengetsu's amused voice, "Conquer the Five Great Nations? Seimei... those ninja tools are interesting. I think I remember who you are now."
