Rengoku lifted Sasuke and placed him back onto the bed, reminding him, "From now on, stay put and recover properly."
Sasuke had no objections to that and instead asked about something else, "Then, Shishou, Father and Brother's eyes?"
Rengoku slightly shook his head, "Obito took both of their eyes. Even after revival, they won't have the Mangekyo Sharingan anymore."
The excitement Sasuke had just shown dimmed a little.
"As for their eyes, you'll have to take them back yourself in the future."
At this moment, Sasuke looked at Rengoku seriously and said, "Shishou, I awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."
Rengoku answered with an "Mm."
"I know. I already checked while you were unconscious."
"What are your eye techniques?"
Sasuke thought for a moment.
"The first one is the same as Brother's, Amaterasu. The other is called Kagutsuchi. It can add shape transformation on top of Amaterasu."
Rengoku rubbed his chin, deciding not to tell Sasuke about the limits of eye power anymore.
Anyway, he had already found a way to solve it.
"Alright, get some rest. I'm going to start preparing for your brother and Fugaku's revival."
Sasuke struggled to get up.
"Shishou, I want to watch Nii-san come back."
Rengoku didn't indulge him and directly pushed Sasuke back onto the bed. There was some anger in his expression.
"Can't you hear me when I tell you to rest?"
"I know you want to apologize to Itachi, but that can wait until after he comes back. Heal first."
"Yes, Shishou," Seeing Rengoku get angry, Sasuke shrank back a little.
Rengoku didn't stay any longer and directly left Sasuke's hospital room.
He headed toward Orochimaru's underground laboratory.
The Uchiha Hospital and Orochimaru's laboratory were connected.
———
He quickly arrived at the room where Itachi and Fugaku's bodies were being kept.
Sasuke had just awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and his body had suffered serious damage.
Two days had already passed. The wounds on both Itachi and Fugaku's bodies had basically been treated.
Their bodies had also been maintained inside medical pods for two days.
When he arrived, Karin, Orochimaru, and Kabuto were all there.
And beside Orochimaru stood two people covered in cracks.
They were Fugaku and Itachi after being revived with Edo Tensei.
The two already knew the process, so they weren't surprised or alarmed. Still, looking at their own corpses felt strange.
"Rengoku."
"Senpai."
"The process is clear to you both, right?"
Rengoku asked as soon as he came in.
Fugaku and Itachi both nodded.
"We know."
The process mentioned here wasn't the revival process, but the later process involving the Eternal Mangekyo.
"Then let's begin."
Rengoku had no intention of letting Sasuke come watch. Even if Sasuke came, he could only stand there and look anyway.
Kabuto took out Fugaku and Itachi's Sharingan and placed them nearby, then prepared the Water of Life for Karin.
Karin held the Water of Life and waved it in front of Rengoku, her face full of slyness.
There was no IV drip in sight. Clearly, Karin wanted to use the drinking method again.
The clan had basically stabilized over the past two days. Although the hospital was still busy, there wasn't much for Karin to do anymore.
Rengoku knew what Karin was thinking. He reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Mischievous."
Karin giggled and shook her face.
"I want to."
Rengoku shook his head and said nothing more. He placed his hand on Itachi's chest.
Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique!
A large amount of life energy started flowing into Itachi's body. Beside them, Orochimaru also released the Edo Tensei.
This time, something was different. During the revival, Kabuto reinserted Itachi's own eyes.
Normally, this kind of revival wouldn't consume too much life force.
But Karin noticed in shock that Rengoku's hair was rapidly turning white.
"Shishou? Why are you… Hurry!"
Karin anxiously brought her hand to Rengoku's mouth, but Rengoku only shook his head.
"I didn't lose much life force. The hair was done on purpose."
As he spoke, Itachi's heartbeat had already returned, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Normally reconnecting the eyes would take some time, but because Dragon Life Reincarnation had healing abilities, Kabuto only needed to place the eyes back in.
After hearing Rengoku's words, Karin relaxed. As long as her master was fine, it was okay.
Back during the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Rengoku obtained the Spirit Transformation Technique, his soul had already become strong enough to control the growth of his hair and nails.
This time, he deliberately turned his hair white to teach Sasuke a lesson.
After reviving Itachi, Rengoku used the same method to revive Fugaku.
Orochimaru gestured toward the revived Fugaku and Itachi.
"You two, come with me."
Fugaku and Itachi walked into the room next door. Kabuto followed as well and helped connect various monitoring devices to them.
Back in the other room, Rengoku's hair had already completely turned white, though there were no wrinkles on his face.
"Shishou, you look really cool now too."
Karin smiled as she looked Rengoku over. With white hair, Rengoku gave off a cold and cool feeling as long as he didn't speak.
Rengoku beckoned to Karin. Karin obediently moved closer and reached out, preparing to restore Rengoku's life force.
Unexpectedly, Rengoku pressed her hand down and kissed her neck instead.
This time he didn't bite her. He sucked hard against her skin like planting a hickey.
The same life energy quickly refilled Rengoku's body.
Although it was still the same feeling of life force being drained away, this time it was on her neck.
Karin's neck was sensitive. Her face turned red, and her body went limp as she collapsed against Rengoku.
Karin muttered with watery eyes, "Shishou… you… I hate it! Someone might see."
Rengoku kissed Karin on the forehead, "Still going to be mischievous?"
Karin leaned against Rengoku's neck and let out a soft sound.
"Mmh…"
Rengoku smacked Karin's butt twice.
"Go back, drink the Water of Life, and sleep."
Karin refused, "No, I want to go back together with Shishou."
Rengoku set Karin down.
"Then wait for me a bit."
As he spoke, he walked into the room next door.
Orochimaru and Kabuto had already installed all the monitoring equipment. Itachi and Fugaku were already making preparations.
The two had now activated their Mangekyo Sharingan and poured all of their eye power into their eyeballs.
As the patterns in their Mangekyo Sharingan kept spinning, almost all of their eye power was poured in.
Even Fugaku's remaining eye power was nearly exhausted.
While looking at the numbers on the machine screens beside him, Orochimaru spoke to Rengoku, "We're going to switch their eyes now."
Rengoku knew Orochimaru was reminding him, so he nodded.
"Go ahead."
