Chapter 161 The True Purpose of Rebirth: Self-Reincarnation?

"The door wasn't closed properly."

Su peeked at the late-night snack she had prepared. It looked and tasted pretty good, but the portion was a bit small. He looked around, found the refrigerator, and walked over to it on his own.

Joe Martinez went to check the door in disbelief, and when he came back, he found that his midnight snack and everything edible from the refrigerator had been placed on the table by Su, who was eating it without any hesitation.

"You...you came to my house just to eat? Can you finish all this? And you're so rich, surely you have enough to eat at home?" Joe Martinez looked at Su Shi in astonishment. Although he wasn't wolfing down the food, he was eating very quickly, as if he hadn't eaten in a long time.

"I was fine when I left your house, but now I feel like I've been starving." Joe Martinez sat down next to Su and started picking out food to eat.

Su Yilingqi did not explain. He was extremely hungry. This evolution may have consumed a lot of energy. If he did not have an immortal body and a special physique, it would probably be more than just hunger.

At first, Joe Martinez ate with her, after all, seeing how much Su was enjoying her food made her appetite return. But as she ate, she couldn't take it anymore, while Su... kept eating.

Seeing that there was almost nothing left to eat, Joe Martinez subconsciously asked, "Are you full? Do you want me to make you some more?" Half an hour later... she regretted asking that question.

Sue had an enormous appetite. In addition to instant food, she also cooked a plate of spaghetti and fried a few steaks, all of which she devoured with an air of elegance but in reality, she was like a cow chewing on a peony. In the end, Joe Martinez found that his refrigerator was empty.

Although there wasn't much to begin with, it was enough for her to eat for at least two or three days, but Su Shi ate it all in one meal.

"What's wrong with you?!" Looking at Su Shi, who seemed unsatisfied and hadn't eaten enough, Joe Martinez grabbed his wrist and stared intently at him. "Something's wrong with you!"

"I was just hungry," Su replied with a smile.

Although I wasn't full, the feeling of hunger finally disappeared.

For some reason, he felt that this kind of evolution was similar to the marrow cleansing and bone tempering in cultivation novels. In those cultivation novels, there were also reactions such as waking up with dirty impurities flowing out of the body and a strong feeling of hunger.

Could it be that the Otsutsuki clan is actually an alien cultivation system? Or is it because although the methods of human evolution are different, they ultimately lead to the same goal? With the addition of 'elixirs' like Chakra Pills, Su Shi feels like he's distorting the style of Naruto.

"Do I look like an idiot?" Joe Martinez stared at Su Shi expressionlessly. Just hungry? Even a normal person wouldn't eat this much when hungry, right? Especially since your stomach didn't even move!

“No, but I was just hungry.” Mrs. Su shrugged and stood up. “My refrigerator was empty, and I used up some energy after you left, so… I didn’t expect to eat so much.”

“I’m not stupid, you’re the one who thinks I’m stupid! What did you do to expend so much energy? Even if…” Joe Martinez stopped mid-sentence, his expression turning awkward and the atmosphere tense. Finally, somewhat annoyed, he simply asked him to leave.

It was evening, and Su had just finished showering, so there was no need to explain directly, right? Although Joe Martinez still felt that Su's appetite was a bit abnormal, seeing that he didn't seem to have any abnormalities, she naturally thought of another more logical direction.

"Uh, goodnight." Su touched her nose, tacitly acknowledging her guess, and then got up and left under her angry gaze.

Joe Martinez is perfectly normal. You're a ghost in your own home and then you come here to eat. What do you take my house for?

Su could have explained and told her the truth about the wildcat spirit, but after thinking about it, she gave up. After all, Joe Martinez had always lived in the normal world. Although they had crossed paths, they could have been normal friends or acquaintances. There was no need to drag someone into the supernatural world just because they knew him.

However, before leaving, Su hypnotized Joe Martinez, making him forget about the wildcat spirit photos and destroy them as well.

Joe Martinez was implicated in this matter because of herself. The wildcat spirit and Adam have been dealt with, so there's no need to let her delve any deeper into this.

Back home, Ms. Su went to her bedroom to rest.

Having forgotten about the Wildcat Spirit photo, Joe Martinez returned to the police station the next day and naturally did not have the forensic team verify its authenticity. Although she later checked on the Wildcat Spirit's file for concrete evidence, she stopped paying attention to it after realizing that she could not arrest him.

After being promoted to detective, she began to officially intervene in criminal cases. Although she was a rookie, her powerful background and status as one of the police department's biggest benefactors meant that she didn't encounter the usual workplace harassment often reserved for newcomers. Instead, she received considerable help, especially after the Su family provided a donation, which solidified the relationship between Joe Martinez and the Su family.

Even many reporters started interviewing her, making this rookie detective somewhat like a celebrity detective.

On the other hand, Henry Morgan did not find any particular value in Adam's ashes, but he finally extracted his own chakra, and after death verification, the chakra-related aspects were not reset, which means that the idea of ​​turning him into an Eight Gates ninja is feasible.

In high spirits, Sue told Henry Morgan about Adam's identity and what he had done in the past, such as... many years ago he was in a car accident and was sent to a hospital, and Henry Morgan's wife, who had run away from home because she couldn't stand the strange looks from those around her, changed her name and went into hiding and happened to work at that hospital.

Adam told her he wouldn't die and asked her to kill him. She wasn't alarmed; instead, she believed him. This led Adam to discover that she knew people just like him. After his resurrection, Adam approached her, and to protect Henry Morgan, she committed suicide.

It was because of this incident that Adam became convinced that there was another immortal being in the world who shared his thoughts, and that he tirelessly searched for Henry Morgan's whereabouts.

The news was neither good nor bad for Henry Morgan, but sadness and anger were palpable. So many years had passed since his wife left home, and he had suspected she might be dead, but he never imagined she died because of Adam, another immortal being, let alone that she died protecting him.

This made him feel very guilty and remorseful.

But what can be done now that his wife is dead and Adam is dead?

Henry Morgan and Abel were preparing to find and bury their wife's remains when Sue suddenly thought of something even more awesome than the Eight Gates Ninja.

In Naruto, most resurrection-type ninjutsu require the user to die as a price, and Henry Morgan... can be reborn, so I can be reborn now too!

Does this mean that as long as one draws the "Reincarnation" skill, one can resurrect the dead indefinitely?

Chapter 162 Reincarnation and the Hellhound That Dared Not Enter

The Reanimation Jutsu is a forbidden technique used by Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure. She revived Gaara, who was on the verge of death after having his tailed beasts removed, at the cost of her own life.

If the person has only recently died, this ninjutsu can indeed be used to revive the dead, especially for people like Henry Morgan and Sue who have unlimited regeneration abilities, it really doesn't have much of an effect.

However, if someone has been dead for too long and their flesh and bones have already rotted away, then it might not be possible to save them. In such cases, one would have to rely on the Impure World Reincarnation technique combined with the Samsara Rebirth technique.

When the Reincarnation Technique is used, it summons Yama, who stands up, opens his maw, and releases countless souls of the dead. These souls are then returned to the deceased, thus resurrecting them. If the resurrected being is a person who has undergone Impure World Reincarnation, the Impure World Reincarnation state is automatically lifted.

This technique does not require living people to be resurrected as sacrifices, and the resurrected dead are just like they were in life, with flesh and blood and consciousness.

However, this technique comes at the cost of the practitioner's life.

This means that as long as the corpse is still there, regardless of whether there is flesh or blood, as long as it can be roughly kept intact, it can be resurrected; if the corpse is not there or cannot be kept intact, it doesn't matter, it can be resurrected first using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and then completely resurrected through the Samsara Rebirth technique.

Furthermore, Obito's temporary survival in Naruto was due to his past as the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and his possession by Black Zetsu, coupled with Hashirama's 14 cells, which prolonged his life. In other words, if one possesses a vast amount of chakra and a special constitution, using such a technique doesn't necessarily mean certain death.

Given Su's current chakra and physique, he might not even need to be reborn. After all, as long as he doesn't die immediately, he can restore his vitality by consuming chakra pills.

Therefore, whether it's for oneself or for training other ninjas, resurrection ninjutsu, which originally required sacrificing one's life, has completely changed from forbidden techniques to relatively ordinary resurrection ninjutsu due to the regeneration ability and chakra pills.

That's awesome!

Resurrection Ninjutsu + Chakra Pill, this combination is truly awesome!

Before Henry Morgan and Abel left, Sue reminded them to preserve a portion of Henry Morgan's wife's DNA, as it was not impossible for Henry Morgan to resurrect his wife if he made any significant contributions in the future.

Perhaps because he had thought too much about resurrection-type ninjutsu, Su was eager to try it out and casually did a ten-pull.

Then... it was as if he had been temporarily buffed. He actually got a resurrection ninjutsu in a normal ten-pull, which was the first resurrection ninjutsu he had thought of.

Reincarnation!

Su was a little confused about the system's lottery. In the past, the first lottery draw after upgrading would give a lucky buff, at which time the chance of getting what you wanted was extremely high. But last time, he didn't get it. This time, he didn't really want to get the Reincarnation of Self, or rather, he didn't want it that much. He just drew the lottery on a whim, and then he got it.

What could Su say?

Can we just say that the lucky guy is in a good mood today?

In any case, he now knows the forbidden resurrection technique of Self-Reincarnation. If he had drawn it before, he would have thought it was useless, but now... Su Shi has a feeling of being eager to try it out and wants to find someone to resurrect.

After all, the resurrection in this world is different from the resurrection in the Naruto world. In this world, people are taken away by the Grim Reaper after they die. Su Shi really wants to know if the Grim Reaper will appear when he uses the Reincarnation Technique, and whether his ninjutsu can ignore the rules of this world like he trained ninjas.

If I can, I won't be afraid of Heaven or Hell anymore, and nothing will threaten me, because I can ignore the rules and take souls from Heaven and Hell at will. If I can't, I'll have to keep a low profile when I need to be resurrected, lest I get humiliated for showing off.

However, based on past experience, Su believes the most likely scenario is that ninjas recognized by the system can disregard the rules of heaven and hell. As mentioned before, training ninjas is more like an invasion of this world, marking these natives with the system's mark.

If the system were renamed, and Su Shi was told he was to invade this world the moment he transmigrated, he would definitely have weighed the pros and cons, and the psychological pressure would have been immense. But since the system is both incredibly wealthy and a Hokage, things Su Shi desires, and the invasion begins unknowingly through training ninjas, the situation is naturally different.

If Su were the kind of person who enjoys scheming, he would definitely harbor great malice and speculate whether the system's true nature is the Naruto Godly Rich System. After all, the fact that he had several lucky draws that made his wishes come true suggests that the system's true nature might not be the Naruto Godly Rich System, but rather that it is presented as a vehicle for his desired goals.

Maybe the system was originally the Wish Fulfillment System. When I transmigrated, it was right after my birthday. I wished for endless money and the ninjutsu of Naruto. Then the Wish Fulfillment System was activated, and I was disguised as the Naruto Godly Rich System.

Holy crap, Su felt a strange chill run down his spine.

"System, how about you change your name to 'One Piece Godly Rich System'? Or, how about you give me a Devil Fruit?"

Su muttered under her breath and casually did another ten consecutive draws.

The result... of course, was that she didn't get a Devil Fruit.

"Knock knock knock... knock knock knock..." A series of hurried and frantic knocks suddenly rang out, interrupting Su's rambling thoughts. She frowned and went to open the door.

"Snapped!"

As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed in with a whoosh, then slammed the door shut behind him, leaning against the doorway, panting heavily as if he had just escaped death.

If Su Shi hadn't recognized the other person's identity and roughly guessed what had happened to her, she would have simply thrown her out.

"Did you...did you hear that? A dog, a dog barking?" Bella looked at Su Shi in shock, pleading as if grasping at a straw, "Save me, save me, save me, I'll agree to any condition, the hellhound, the hellhound is coming to take my life, I don't want to go to hell, I don't want to."

Ignoring Bella's desperate pleas, Sue rolled her eyes and looked out the door with interest.

The hellhound has indeed arrived, but it's just lingering at the entrance without making any move to rush in.

why?

Was Bella spared for the time being because the situation wasn't right, or was it because it was too afraid to come in? Cerberus isn't a vampire and doesn't have the restriction of only being allowed into a house by invitation.

Could it be that he's still... afraid of me?

Su suddenly thought of this possibility. After all, he was very famous in Hell and his reputation for being vengeful had spread. Unless it was a powerful demon like the White-Eyed Demon or a demon that was not afraid of death, no one would easily offend him.

Bella made a deal with the Crossroads Demon, and because of the Crossroads Demoness and their leader Crowley, the Crossroads Demons wouldn't offend her for no reason.

Hellhounds are just a type of creature in hell, and they are domesticated, so it's entirely possible that they know about it and are afraid to enter.

……

PS: I've been thinking about my books. Putting aside the plot for now, it seems that as long as the characters have a high level of prestige, they all do well. Books that don't make a strong first impression, like Door-Door Fruit, Dimensional Street, and this one, seem to have very few readers even if the characters are invincible or have been upgraded. It feels like you can judge their fate at first glance.

It's like a farmer's child. From birth, they're told that this is how their life will be, that they'll always be a farmer. Whether they reach the pinnacle of life later in life, or suddenly have a richest father, it doesn't seem to matter. Their fate is decided at a glance.

How should I put it? It's all about the starting point, not the ending point. What matters is who you become at birth, not what kind of person you are.

This is a point worth noting: Lao Wang rarely reads books on websites; he mostly writes on his own. In the future, I'll try to avoid this problem when writing new books. I'll set a higher standard when choosing a starting point; first impressions are very important.

Chapter 163 The Colt Gun Everyone Wanted and the Death of Bella

"Pfft!"

Desperate to avoid a response from Sue, Bella knelt on the ground. The hellhound outside the door was threatening her, and the person who could save her was right in front of her. The approach of death made Bella unable to remain calm and composed as before. Only when facing death do you know that kind of fear, and you know that as long as you can live, nothing else matters.

"Please, please save me! Give me a chance! I'll agree to anything! Demon, the demon I made a deal with wants your Colt gun, but they're afraid to approach you. They promised to break the deal if I could get the Colt gun. I didn't... I didn't do anything..."

Did Bella hesitate? Of course she hesitated. Although making a deal with the devil usually ends badly, what if? What if the devil canceled the deal? What if the Su family couldn't handle the deal between her and the devil? She didn't know the Su family before, so from her perspective, she definitely had to consider her own situation.

Besides, even if you didn't know them, when faced with the choice between stealing a gun and your own life, I believe almost everyone would make the same choice, unless they are truly saintly people with great love.

Bella is clearly not.
