"Reveal!"
Once again, the body encased in the Forbidden Technique: Eternal Slumber emerged from the ground.
Unlike before, this time Gensou, with unwavering hands, formed the Seal of the Tiger and uttered a low command:
"Forbidden Technique: Release!"
The black membrane covering the body instantly glowed.
Soon, the membrane split apart, transforming into tadpole-like black symbols that swiftly traversed the body's surface. Before long, they all congregated at the heart, forming a black tomoe.
With a sudden leap, the black tomoe detached from the body, rose into the air, and evaporated rapidly under Gensou's gaze, disappearing completely.
Gensou knew this signified the complete dissolution of the Forbidden Technique: Eternal Slumber.
Thump! Thump!
The powerful beating of a heart echoed throughout the Valley of the End.
It was as if a terrifying entity was awakening from its slumber.
In that instant, all the insects, birds, and beasts within the valley fell silent, rendering the entire area eerily quiet.
Gensou looked down.
His own body, unobstructed, lay fully revealed before him.
It was as if the most intense battle had just ended.
His body was covered with countless wounds, some so severe that his chest had a large cavity, exposing both flesh and bone, with blood continuously seeping from various parts.
Despite this, Gensou could feel a strong, oppressive aura emanating from his body, exuding a sense of defiance and dominance.
Moreover, the chakra within his reanimated body seemed to activate autonomously, as if responding to an immense threat, causing an involuntary reaction.
"So this is my true body!"
Even though it was gravely injured, it was still brimming with life.
Gensou looked at his heart beating, blood flowing, and his rosy skin, his eyes full of anticipation.
"It's time."
Knowing that his body wouldn't remain in this state for long, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Spirit Transformation Technique!"
After a few moments, Gensou completed the final seal.
As the technique took effect, Gensou felt a powerful force accelerating his soul.
It was as if an infinite energy source could send him anywhere instantly.
With a flash of determination in his eyes, Gensou's soul left his body.
Ignoring the rift to the Underworld that appeared overhead, Gensou's soul, propelled by the Spirit Transformation Technique, moved with unparalleled speed, breaking free of its constraints and merging seamlessly with his long-awaited true body.
Like a swallow returning home.
With a "swish," Gensou's soul fused perfectly with his body, without the slightest hindrance.
The next moment, his unblemished right index finger twitched slightly.
Then, as if responding to a command from his central nervous system, the fingers moved sequentially.
Clumps of dirt fell from his hand.
His right hand, clutching the earth, slowly rose to his now open eyes.
Gensou opened his eyes.
Looking at his hand and feeling the wet dirt, he smiled.
"Yes! This is the feeling!"
Gensou clutched his heart with his other hand.
Thump! Thump!
Since his reanimation, it was the first time he had felt his heart beating so vividly.
Looking at the fresh blood on his hand, Gensou couldn't contain his joy, laughing maniacally:
"The taste of blood! The feeling of pain!"
"Hahaha!!! This is my true body! I can finally shine with the full glory of the Hagoromo clan! Hahaha..."
Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand.
At that moment, Gensou fully comprehended the elation and joy Madara felt upon his resurrection during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
The brilliance of life is something everyone who has tasted death yearns for.
Now, Gensou clenched his fists, feeling the surge of power.
Even though he was severely injured, with his chakra greatly diminished, and intense pain from all over his body, he reveled in the feeling.
This feeling, so different from the reanimated body, so full of life!
After a while, Gensou finally calmed down. Not minding the blood flowing from his wounds, he shook his head, donned a black cloak, and covered himself.
Having done all this, he looked at his reanimated body still standing before him.
Yes.
The reanimated body had not yet dissipated, reverting to the original sacrifice.
Moreover, his Spirit Transformation Technique was still active.
Gensou knew why.
After thoroughly reading the Spirit Transformation Technique scroll, he understood that the technique didn't entirely detach the soul from the body.
Gensou had speculated this before.
If the Spirit Transformation Technique allowed the soul to move freely, Dan wouldn't have died. At the very least, he could have survived in his soul form for some time.
Additionally, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, reanimated Dan could have used the Spirit Transformation Technique to escape the reanimation's control rather than briefly meeting Tsunade before returning to the Underworld.
The Spirit Transformation Technique has its limitations.
When the soul leaves the body for assassination, possession, or message transmission, a small part remains as an anchor, ready to pull the soul back to prevent disorientation.
In the Fourth Great Ninja War, reanimated Dan Kato's soul didn't get pulled into the Underworld because part of it was anchored to the reanimated body.
The same applied now.
A small part of Gensou's soul remained in the reanimated body.
When the Spirit Transformation Technique ended, his main soul would uncontrollably return to the reanimated body.
Gensou couldn't change this.
Changing the foundation of the Spirit Transformation Technique would create a new soul technique, which was almost impossible.
"So..."
Gensou shook his head.
"Doubt Orochimaru, understand Orochimaru, become Orochimaru."
First, solve the immediate issue; the rest can wait.
Gensou steadied himself and, before the Spirit Transformation Technique ended, clapped his hands and coldly commanded:
"Sever!"
Instantly!
His soul split.
A fragment of his soul detached from the main.
Gensou looked up, enduring the pain of soul separation, and stared at the reanimated body.
With a rustling sound, paper scraps flew around.
The soul fragment replaced the main soul, pulled into the Underworld.
The reanimated body collapsed.
In its place lay an unfamiliar Sound ninja corpse.
"It's over."
Gensou looked up, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the sun.
Feeling no threat from the Underworld.
He smiled brightly.
No matter the challenges.
Gensou had truly resurrected!

Throughout the millennium of the ninja world's history, even the mightiest like Hashirama and those with the noble blood of Indra and Ashura could not escape the literal death.
But who could die and be resurrected, who could live another life before today? No one!
Today, Gensou created an unprecedented feat.
Even though it wasn't as perfect as Madara's later resurrection using the Rinne Rebirth Technique, it was still extraordinary.
Without the cheat-like Rinnegan, Gensou managed to resurrect himself, an achievement far exceeding the hacking ability of Madara.
"Hashirama, Reto, Ai, Ishikawa, and that despicable Tobirama. You guys can watch with wide eyes from the underworld as I live again with vibrancy and color!"
"Ninja world, here I come!"
Gensou's eyes shone brightly.
He suddenly turned his head towards the horizon where several black dots were getting closer. He smirked, "Celebrating alone lacks flavor. Perfect! The witnesses have arrived as expected."
The news of Samui's team being attacked, with only her severely injured returning, quickly reached the ears of the Fourth Raikage, Ai.
Trusting the authenticity of Samui's report about Gensou Hagoromo at the Valley of the End, the Fourth Raikage Ai put down his dumbbells, donned his Raikage cloak, and ordered his female secretary, Mabui, with a resolute voice:
"Mabui, prepare the Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
"Yes," Mabui sighed inwardly. Although she felt it was unnecessary, she couldn't disobey the Raikage's orders.
After all, this Raikage was the type who would personally lead a team into another village to steal a coveted secret technique, not caring about his reputation as Raikage.
He was the complete opposite of the Third Hokage, who was more of a politician than a ninja, always entrenched in the politics of the Hidden Leaf.
Soon, Mabui prepared the ritual for the Heavenly Transfer Technique.
As a space-time ninjutsu usually used for transporting objects, the Fourth Raikage Ai was among the few who could withstand its side effects.
With a flash of white light, the Fourth Raikage vanished from his office and reappeared at a secret Cloud ninja base near the Fire Country's border.
"Yo~ A, why are you here?" Killer Bee, who was enthusiastically writing new rap lyrics, noticed the arrival and greeted him with dance-like movements.
In the past, the Fourth Raikage Ai might have reprimanded Bee to focus on training instead of getting deeper into rap. But now, with a more important goal in mind, he said solemnly, "This time, I will lead the mission myself."
Cloud ninjas, being more united than other villages, acted with great efficiency.
Upon hearing the news of Gensou's appearance, they wasted no time. Besides sending out various teams to gather intelligence, they had a special elite unit led by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on standby at the Fire Country's border. Once Gensou was found, they were to act immediately.
But the Fourth Raikage had a sudden urge to join them this time.
"Move out! Valley of the End!" Ai ordered decisively.
"Yes!"
All the elite Cloud ninjas, including Killer Bee, had no objections and were rather used to such situations. Having been led by the Raikage on numerous missions, they were familiar with the procedure.
As previously mentioned, the Valley of the End, located within the Fire Country, was near the border of the Hot Springs Country, which was close to the Land of Lightning.
The Cloud ninja unit, having awaited orders nearby, quickly moved towards the Valley of the End once the Fourth Raikage joined them.
Though they were fast, Gensou Hagoromo was faster.
Having everything prepared, and needing a warm-up to get familiar with his body and announce his return to the ninja world, Gensou Hagoromo had set the stage.
As he had expected, the curtain rose right on time.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of rapid movement filled the Valley of the End.
Standing in the sunlight, Gensou raised his eyelids and scanned the area:
"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage Ai. The A-B combo is here in person, as expected of Cloud ninjas."
Gensou hadn't expected such a grand lineup.
In the eyes of others, he was merely in the state of Edo Tensei, far weaker than before. Yet, the Cloud ninjas had come in full force, taking no chances.
"Very well. Let's see if the Fourth Raikage is as tough as the First Raikage."
The mountain wind howled, whipping the black cloak draped over Gensou.
At the same time.
Boom!!
With powerful legs hitting the ground, the Fourth Raikage, wearing a white cloak, a broad belt, and heavy wrist guards, appeared before Gensou Hagoromo, leading the Cloud ninja squad.
In the next second, his white cloak billowing behind him, the Fourth Raikage Ai glared fiercely at the man who seemed to be waiting for them, and coldly said:
"You killed my men and are waiting here for us. Hagoromo Gensou, do you, a man who has already died, still think you are the one who stood alongside gods?"
"Standing alongside gods? No! My dream has always been to surpass the gods!"
Gensou spoke from his heart, slowly lowering his black hood to reveal a face well-known and recorded in all major ninja village archives.
"Surpass gods? Such arrogance! With just-"
Wait!
The Fourth Raikage Ai, having glanced at Gensou's face, was about to continue when he noticed something off.
He stopped speaking abruptly, his tiger-like eyes widened as he stared at Gensou.
After a few moments.
He finally noticed what was wrong.
Fixing his gaze on Gensou's flawless, lifelike face, the Fourth Raikage Aiwas filled with surprise:
"Wasn't it said that those reanimated with Edo Tensei looked different from normal people? Could it be..."
The Fourth Raikage thought of an unbelievable answer.
No!
Impossible!
Perhaps he was mistaken!
Could it be an extremely advanced Transformation Technique?
The Fourth Raikage hurriedly ordered the sensory ninja beside him.
The sensory ninja quickly formed hand seals.
Soon, he shook his head, indicating no signs of a Transformation Technique.
The Fourth Raikage's face darkened.
Slow-witted Killer Bee had no idea what was happening and why his brother seemed so tense.
He was about to ask.
Inside him, the Eight-Tails Gyuki suddenly spoke in an unusually serious tone:
"Bee! Be extremely careful of that man!!"
"He is very, very, very dangerous!"
