The thought of how the current Kage would react to his revival made Gensou burst into laughter. But soon, another coughing fit interrupted his amusement.

Although he had successfully resurrected, his body remained in the severely injured state it had been in after the Battle of the Valley of End against Hashirama.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The recent fight with the contemporary A-B Combo had pushed him to his limit.

As for why he hadn't waited longer, Gensou had previously examined his injuries. Many were complex and couldn't be healed in a short time. To lure the Cloud Village's big fish without exposing Samui, the sooner the information was relayed, the better.

With Hashirama and Madara gone, even in his severely injured state, he wasn't afraid of anyone in the current ninja world.

Overall, today's grand event had gone quite well. Gensou glanced at his spoils. The common Cloud ninjas didn't matter much, but the severed arm of the renowned Fourth Raikage A held significant value, mirroring the position of the first Raikage's severed arm from the past.

In the coming days, the ninja world would undoubtedly be in turmoil. For Gensou, there were a few key things to focus on:

Firstly, he needed to heal. He couldn't afford to overexert himself for a while.

Secondly, he had to consider the issue of completing his soul. A fragmented soul meant diminished potential and combat strength. Unlike Orochimaru, who split his soul for immortality, Gensou needed to find a way to retrieve the soul fragments absorbed by the underworld and restore himself.

Thirdly, and most importantly, he needed to continue studying the path of chakra to perfect his Kekkei Tota.

And then there was the matter of the system. Despite its initial malfunction and erratic behavior, it remained a golden finger. Continuing to complete its tasks might yield valuable rewards, possibly even aiding in fulfilling his greatest wish.

As for seeking revenge for the past by targeting the descendants of the Five Great Ninja Villages and other factions, that was never a top priority. It wasn't that he was magnanimous, but once he achieved the aforementioned goals and advanced his Kekkei Tota, these matters would be easily handled.

Strength would solve everything. Without sufficient power, focusing solely on revenge would be putting the cart before the horse.

Gensou knew exactly what he needed to do. To talk about strength alone, leaving aside the cheat-like Hashirama, even with the Rinnegan and Hashirama cells, he wasn't a match for Madara. He still needed to further enhance his power.

Glancing at the sky, Gensou knew it was time to act. But before that, there was an important side task he needed to do. Fine wine, delicious food, and...

Cough! Cough!

Having finally come back to life and regained all the sensations of being alive, Gensou had to reward himself, filling the fifty-year void. Only then would his return to the world of the living be worthwhile!

With a swift movement, he leapt to the top of his giant statue, stomped his right foot, and disappeared.

In the next instant,

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Massive cracks appeared on the head of the giant "Hagoromo Gensou" statue. In moments, the once-majestic statue shattered into countless pieces amidst loud crashes, leaving only the "Senju Hashirama" statue standing alone.

Statues are lifeless, but people are alive. Since Gensou had revived, there was no need for a statue to commemorate his life. From this moment on, his life would continue to be written over a long period.

After more than fifty years, the ninja world was once again abuzz with news of a tremendous battle at the Valley of End.

The first to learn the truth was, of course, the Cloud Village, directly involved in the incident. Next was Konoha, not because the Valley of End was in the Land of Fire, but because the border patrols had seen two figures resembling the A-B Combo rushing from the Land of Fire towards the Land of Lightning without looking back.

When this information reached Konoha, Tsunade and the higher-ups were stunned. They couldn't understand why the dignified Raikage would infiltrate the Land of Fire. Was there some conspiracy?

Just as Konoha heightened its vigilance, preparing for potential threats, the Cloud Village sent out a report.

Not just to Konoha, but also to the Sand, Stone, and Mist Villages. The report was straightforward: Hagoromo Gensou had fully revived, and the Raikage had lost an arm.

The Fourth Raikage A had no intention of hiding it. With one arm severed, he couldn't conceal the truth. Moreover, the revival of the legendary Gensou was too significant an event for the Cloud Village to handle alone.

Everyone knew that the Battle of the Valley of End had involved all five Kage. With Gensou's revival, the Cloud Village would suffer first. Did the other villages think they would remain unscathed?

By sharing the information, the Cloud Village was essentially saying that no one could remain uninvolved.

At Konoha, in the Hokage's office, preparations for the Fifth Hokage's inauguration were in full swing. Tsunade, who had just returned and hadn't yet had the chance to don the Hokage's hat in front of the villagers, found herself immediately swamped with work.

Seeing the mountain of documents on the desk, Tsunade regretted listening to Naruto and Jiraiya's persuasion. But it was too late to back out now. She had no choice but to transform into a stamp machine, occasionally sneaking a nap on the desk.

However, the news from the Cloud Village completely shattered her sleepiness that day.

"Gensou has fully revived? Are they sure they weren't drunk when they sent this report?"

Tsunade stood up abruptly, slamming her hand on the Cloud Village's report. Her mature yet youthful face was filled with disbelief.

Beside her, Jiraiya nodded gravely, "Based on the investigation by the team we sent to the Valley of End, there was indeed a fierce battle there. The scene had traces of Lightning Release, tailed beast chakra, and Ice Release. Comparing the evidence, it matches the Cloud Village's report that Gensou fought the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee."

"Considering the Raikage's severed arm and the A-B Combo's retreat, we can conclude..."

At this point, Jiraiya's voice faltered. Having personally fought Gensou's Edo Tensei form, he knew that the former's displayed power wasn't enough to fore the A-B Combo into such a dire

situation.

Therefore, there was only one explanation.

"Hagoromo Gensou... has truly revived!"
