Although the flow of chakra was restricted by Yin-Yang Release, causing Mizuki's physical clone, Kazuhiko, to be unable to react in time and escape the control of the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation, it did not affect Kazuhiko's soul's recovery to clarity.
"This is... the Ninja World? Death is not the end. Although I expected that I might be resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, I didn't expect it to actually happen..."
Although he was still a little confused about the situation, Kazuhiko at least understood that his movements were restricted.
"Is this Yin Yang Escape? So many things have happened during the time I was dead?"
Orochimaru stood aside with a pale face and watched. The red hair of Nagato, who was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, was so dazzling.
"It's your turn to contribute again."
Mizuki stepped forward, his hands glowing with a faint blue light, and layer upon layer of sealing techniques were branded onto Kazuhiko's body, completely paralyzing his ability to resist and preventing him from being able to undo his Impure World Reincarnation.
Kazuhiko replied in a somewhat dull tone:
"Although I was born because of you, and you and I are of the same essence, now that I'm dead, the things that happened in my life have nothing to do with me."
The grace that comes from life ends with death.
"Born" because of the adjustment of Mizuki's plan, although he is only a soul born from Mizuki's will and has a deep connection with Mizuki, Kazuhiko, who is now in an Impure World Body, no longer has a direct causal relationship with Mizuki, except that when he returned to the Ninja World, he is still connected to Mizuki's spiritual obsession - Xishuixiang.
Mizuki had anticipated such a situation. Whether it was restriction or exploitation, or using emotions to drive, these were all methods that would only come in handy when Kazuhiko was alive.
"Okay, let me change the question..."
Mizuki said after thinking for a moment.
"What does it feel like after real death?"
There was a silence, as if he had been recalling for a long time, before Kazuhiko opened his mouth and answered expressionlessly:
“Nothing special!”
"That's all?"
Mizuki asked.
"It's not just nothing special, it's nothing at all, right?"
"You know this and you ask me?"
Indeed, Kazuhiko has reestablished contact with Xishuixiang, and Mizuki can read Kazuhiko's memory through Xishuixiang.
However, Mizuki did not find any memory after Kazuhiko's death. It was as if the period from Kazuhiko's death to his resurrection by the Impure World Reincarnation was almost blank in the Pure Land.
If it is because the dead soul cannot read memories, it is impossible. In that case, Mizuki will not be able to read Kazuhiko's memories before his death, and Kazuhiko's connection with Xishuixiang will not be restored.
The only reasonable explanation is that in the Pure Land of Eternal Sleep, Kazuhiko's soul has no memory. In other words, nothing happened and Kazuhiko's soul has been in a confused state in the Pure Land.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with Kazuhiko’s dead soul, but that there’s nothing in the Pure Land at all, so naturally nothing will happen.
"The original inhabitants of the ninja world's fantasies about the afterlife are indeed wrong. The name of the Pure Land is really appropriate. It is a place where there is nothing."
The place of eternal rest is like the land of nothingness with the function of accommodating souls. How can such an afterlife maintain the cycle of life and death in a large world?
If the connection between the living and the dead is one-way, in the ninja world with limited resources, it will inevitably end with the exhaustion of the ninja world.
If the Pure Land is regarded as a harvester of souls, the Ninja World is like a piece of farmland, but its fertility is limited. If the plunder is carried out without restraint, the support of the Ninja World will definitely become less and less, and finally become more barren.
"Would you rather be a harvested potato, either eaten or rotten, or would you rather do something more meaningful?"
"Does it make sense?"
Kazuhiko finally showed a hint of mockery.
"It's meaningful to you and the ninja world. For me, no matter what I do, it makes no difference..."
"If you say that, we can't continue the conversation."
Shuimu couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't expect that chatting with "himself" who was free from all restrictions would be so troublesome.
It was not until this time that Shuimu realized how unpopular he was. He had a stinky mouth that made people want to tear it apart, and he always blasted people's weaknesses that could not be refuted, making people exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Thank you so much to my friends who have been with me for so long!"
It is impossible to directly persuade Kazuhiko, who is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire. Moreover, he cannot be coaxed and deceived like he does with other people. Unless Mizuki has an absolute intelligence advantage over Kazuhiko, causing a gap in understanding, otherwise, with the same way of thinking, Kazuhiko can probably think of what Mizuki can think of, making deception almost impossible.
"Then I'll ask directly, what do you want?"
"I'm a dead man, what's the use of anything?"
Mizuki shook his head unhappily.
"We are so familiar with each other that there is no need to test each other. You should know what I am going to do when you see the Grim Reaper over there. Time is running out. I can't waste too much time talking to you. It's better to just show your cards and lay out the conditions. Otherwise, death may really be a lucky thing."
Unlike Orochimaru who was not completely dead, Kazuhiko's soul had returned to the Pure Land, so it would be extremely difficult to completely revive him. As far as Mizuki knew, there was no other way except for Jisei Reincarnation and the Rinnegan's Outer Path: Rinnegan Technique.
"You know, I absolutely cannot allow you to be resurrected in your current mental state, so when you make your conditions, you'd better think them through."
Mizuki spoke seriously, but Kazuhiko showed no fear at all.
"Threatening, coercion, inducement, bargaining, it turns out that the tone is still the same, it really makes me miss it!"
The pale-faced Filthy Earth Body showed a rare smile, but it looked so weird.
"You have a very special way of asking for help. Actually, even if I don't cooperate, you still have a way to control my actions, right? It's a little troublesome. If you can't do it, you won't waste time using the Impure World Reincarnation to summon me from the Pure Land to the Ninja World."
Shui looked at Kazuhiko blankly and did not answer the question.
He Yan knew Mizuki's true nature very well, so it was really difficult for Mizuki to hide anything from him.
"Although you are full of bad intentions, your words and actions remain consistent."
Since a plan was made to make the physical clone relatively independent, although Mizuki maintained restrictions on the physical branch due to safety issues, he at least respected their humanity to a great extent. Even with the dead Kazuhiko, Mizuki was the first to negotiate.
