Chapter 14: 11. Revival
"MEI!"
Mei was my loyal assistant and student.
Our parents were friends.
But when I was 9, my parents died due to Chiyo's poison, when Suna started the war due to Third Kazekage's disappearance.
Mei's parents took care of me, and they also died some years later.
Since then, I have been taking care of Mei along with teaching her.
She wasn't a genius like Itachi, nor a reincarnator like me. She was quite average.
But, I felt reassured because of that. Because a job in the police force will be safer. Due to my reputation and exploits in war, it was easy to station Mei with Mikoto, so that she can remain safe with the daughter of the previous clan head, and the wife of the current.
In Uchiha clan, strength and talent is all that matters. Fugaku became the clan head despite being too away from relations from the family of the clan head.
Inside Konoha, by Mikoto's side, Mei was safe.
----------------------
I stared at the lifeless bodies of Mikoto and Mei, Earth Spears running through their stomach.
Though the other members of the police force ran after the Iwa ninja running away, I couldn't feel anything.
I went into autopilot, checked Mei's breathing, her pulse, used medical ninjutsu to heal her.
Her body was healed. Her soul wasn't.
She wasn't breathing.
She...
She was dead...
"Kei-sama! The murderer got away! He completely disappeared into the earth!"
"I see... Take care of Mikoto. I am taking Mei home."
Paper wings erupted from my back, and I flew to home.
I can revive her.
Madara dared to kill Mei for his ridiculous plan huh? To awaken my Mangekyo Sharingan?
There is no way Iwa has a ninja skilled enough to come this deep into Konoha.
Alright. Fine. I will use your eyes that you have cultivated for your 'plan'.
I entered my house, entered my secret underground base secured with metal so that White Zetsu can't come, and entered my Kamui dimension with her.
After safely putting Mei inside, I put on a mask and teleported to Land of Grass, where I was fighting in the war. Where I had located Karin's most likely mother.
Directly coming inside her home through Kamui, I looked at the woman with an infant.
"Do you want your daughter to suffer the same fate as you? I promise to you that I will take care of your daughter, and never allow her to suffer like you. But you will have to do something for me. Which will lead to your death."
Without waiting for her answer, I put her in genjutsu to make it seem to her that she agreed, and entered and exited the Kamui dimension to directly Land of Rain.
Taking a bite of her mother, I restored my chakra and damage by the consecutive use of Kamui.
"Sense the biggest chakra."
She directed me towards the direction, and I sent her back inside Kamui after knocking her out.
I then teleported directly inside what seemed to be the base of Akatsuki, where it looked like Yahiko, Konan and Nagato were having a meeting.
Putting Yahiko and Konan under genjutsu, I had them pluck out Nagato's Rinnegan.
Caught off-guard by his friends doing such a thing, a swirl appeared next to them, and I snatched those eyes.
Five White Zetsus tried to stop me, but I just put them under genjutsu and transported them to the Kamui dimension.
Sealing the White Zetsus for future use, I focused on the task at hand.
I replaced one of Karin's mother's eye with Rinnegan, and woke her up.
"Ughhh..."
She woke up, and started trembling.
"What are you doing!?"
"I need your help in reviving my sister here. I will take care of your daughter properly. I promise."
"Why should I trust you!? I don't know how to revive anyone who is already dead!"
"Look, there is a chance that you might survive to take care of your kid if you don't waste your time. Just follow my instructions.
Put your hands like this."
I showed her the handsign of Rinne-rebirth.
Scared of me, she did the handsign.
"Now, look at my sister, and channel your chakra into your left eye."
She did as I told her, and the Rinnegan became active.
As expected of an Uzumaki. She can already wield Rinnegan, in which Obito took a lot of time and was getting overwhelmed.
"Now, think of reviving this girl here, 'Rinne Rebirth', and put as much chakra as you can in that eye. Try to revive her.
I promise that your daughter will live a happy life."
She felt conflicted, but seeing her baby, she resigned herself.
"Will you tell her that I love her?"
"I will find a way to resurrect you so that you can watch your daughter grow up."
"...Who are you?"
"Kei Uchiha."
Perhaps she could see my chakra, or she knew that she didn't have any other choice, but she did as instructed.
"Rinnegan Rebirth!"
She shouted, and I felt her life force rapidly draining.
And, before my eyes, Mei woke up, startled.
"Huh? I am alive!?"
I hugged her, finally getting back to feeling something. Happy at her revival.
And full of rage towards Madara, White Zetsu, Danzo and all who have been plotting this all the time.
Who do they think are!? I have had enough of being plotted against!
I will make sure that they suffer the consequences.
