Chapter 228: Resurrection

Once the Summoning Jutsu was completed, Shikamaru returned his hands to Kushina's chest and spoke clearly.

- Summoning: Resurrection by the Will of the Ancestor! - at the same moment, hundreds of black fuin signs began to spread from his fingers all over the girl's body, entangling her on each side. Immediately after his actions, the space trembled, Kushina's body reacted and her scarlet hair, as if caught by gravity, soared!

Shikamaru began to inject chakra and vitality, at the same moment the girl's chest lifted and her lips quivered. A strange energy swirled in the air, the guy frowned and stamped a seal of concentration, closing his eyes. As soon as this happened, the energy began to move and, controlled by a strange force, abruptly began to incarnate in space, acquiring an emerald glow. In the next moment, Shikamaru extended his palm and gently directed this luminous entity into Kushina's chest.

With bated breath, Haku was constantly watching the amazing process - a person was being resurrected before his eyes! Shikamaru was truly amazing! Literally out of nothing, using only a drop of blood, he recreated this beautiful body of a woman, and then called her soul from the Pure World!

One slow movement and the soul entered the body, and then it trembled. Shrouded in fuying seals, the girl's body has undergone a merger with the soul. Shikamaru tried hard to control all the processes and monitor the state of Kushina. He was not at all surprised that her soul was in a panic state, not even aware of what was happening around. But, the body turned out to be perfect, completely compatible, so everything quickly returned to normal. The chakra flowed through the channels, the vital forces began to maintain a connection, and the soul stabilized.

Spiritual and physical energy flowed according to all the rules, although at a higher speed than that of ordinary shinobi, but this was not an indicator of something dangerous. The chakra began to develop and all vital signs increased, the heart began to beat and the organs began to work. With a frowning expression, Shikamaru conducted a couple of lightning bolts into Kushina's body, and then nodded in relief.

- Done ... - removing his hand, all fuin marks on the beautiful body immediately disappeared. The soul has stabilized and completely merged with the body. The resurrection was successful.

Shikamaru stepped back a little and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, then glanced at Haku with a grin.

- What do you think?

- It's amazing ... - the boy shook his head: - I didn't even think that this could be ... But why doesn't she wake up?

Shikamaru looked up at the billowing mounds of Kushina with a lascivious smile and chuckled.

- Her soul has been in another world for too long, it takes time for her to recover from the shock.

- That's how ...

“Well,” Shikamaru yawned and stretched. “It was fun.

Having got close to the girl's body, the guy touched her neck and quickly set his mark. Unlike Mikoto, Kushina's face twisted slightly in pain, her thin scarlet eyebrows trembled, and her snow-white teeth clashed in tense confrontation. After a few seconds, it was over, and she calmed down with relief.

With that finished, Shikamaru walked away and sat down in the corner of the room. Having already closed his eyes, he ordered:

- Get her clothes ready.

Haku just nodded and with a last look at Kushina, quickly left and headed to his room.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru waited while Kushina Uzumaki slowly regained consciousness ...

*

- What is this ... Where ... I ... - a gentle and weak voice swept through the dark void, the world was blurring, and consciousness slowly returned to reality. Suddenly, everything began to clear up - something dark appeared right in front of her. Kushina finally opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in bewilderment.

- W-what ... - the girl herself heard her own whisper and her lips trembled, she rose sharply, her chest swayed playfully, but she did not even pay attention to it in shock, examining her small palm, her fragile hand, and then long curls the color of blood.

- I do not understand...

Suddenly, from the silence of the dark hall, a calm voice was heard:

“Welcome to the world of the living, Kushina.

The girl turned sharply and stared into the darkness, not knowing who was speaking. But, judging by the voice, she immediately realized that she did not know this person at all and at the same time, his tone was reassuring.

Slowly, the girl's thoughts began to gather together, and she calmed down, and then asked:

- The world of the living?

There was a chuckle in the shadows, and then a silhouette stepped out from there, his eyes shining with silver lights and as if they were dispersing the surrounding darkness. Kushina blinked as soon as she could see him fully. In the dim hall, a half-naked silhouette of a man appeared before her, for a moment the girl's eyes trembled, he so attracted her that her thoughts again got confused. But, nevertheless, she was not a young girl and quickly pulled herself together, asking:

- Who are you?

“To admit, I thought you'd be more aggressive after your return from the dead.” Shikamaru stepped closer, and Kushina finally fully examined him. A strong and imposing body, a domineering aura and determined gaze, an attractive face capable of enchanting, at the same time embodying masculinity and power.

“Shikamaru,” the guy smiled. “My name is Shikamaru. I am the one who resurrected you and returned your soul from the Pure World. This is the shinobi world, thirteen years after your death. How do you feel?

- A ... - the girl blinked: - Well, I ... Resurrected ?! - she finally began to understand everything and abruptly climbed off the table in order to immediately fall:

`` Aah ... W-what's wrong with me ... '' Trying to get up, Kushina screamed again and covered her chest, and then closed her hips:

- Why am I naked ?! Her angry gaze immediately turned to Shikamaru.

The guy chuckled:

“You don't have to hide behind, I've seen enough. - stretching out his hand, the guy grabbed the clothes that Haku brought and covered Kushina's trembling body:

“Stop getting angry and get up,” the guy helped her to get back into place and covered her trembling body with a red kimono. Kushina's thin fingers were still twitching, but she somehow managed to tie the belt.

Having finished with this, the girl raised an irritated gaze and looked at the guy:

- Have you seen enough?

“Why,” Shikamaru chuckled, “I know even more about your body than you do.

Fury flashed on Kushina's face, even her hair began to move as if streams of fire were going to burn everything in its path in a fit of uncontrollable anger, but she still calmed down and turned away:

- I don't know ... Why did you bring me back? And what about my body, why is it so young and ... sensitive.

`` I recreated it. '' Shikamaru touched Kushina's hair and smiled.

“Your physical body is not more than eighteen years old. You are innocent again and able to live life again. You didn't give birth to a child, and the Nine-Tails didn't even exist in him.

Suddenly, Kushina's face changed dramatically, she did not even pay attention to the fact that Shikamaru stroked her cheek:

- N-Naruto! Where is my son ?! W-what's wrong with him ?! Is he alive ?! - the girl already tried to jump up, but Shikamaru touched her neck and returned her to her place.

- Calm down! - from his touch, a discharge swept through the girl's body.

Kushina immediately fell silent and looked into his eyes tensely. Now she seemed like a little girl who had a lot of questions, the answers to which she so longed to hear. For some reason, in his presence, she did not dare to rage. Even his touch did not seem like something offensive ...
