"Mastering the common sense of life, reversing and overturning the laws of life—"
"Manifest, holy grail."
Rias took out the magical device and released a soul from it, which Rias then fixed within the device before it could be pulled into the Underworld.
The holy grail's golden light flickered. Soon, the invisible soul fluctuated, generating a physical body.
The holy grail reversed the laws of life, thereby creating a physical body for the soul.
Although it involved create, it was more accurately restoration.
The holy grail reverses the common sense of life; even if a soul is destroyed, it can be revived as long as a tiny fragment remains.
Not to mention, Pakura's soul was perfectly intact.
Soon, a naked woman appeared before Rias.
She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze slightly bewildered.
"You are..."
Although she didn't immediately react, the influence persisted, and Pakura unconsciously used honorifics.
"Think back carefully. It should have transmitted information into your mind."
Rias lightly pointed at her own brain and said.
"Think back..."
"That's right, I'm dead."
Pakura suddenly widened her eyes, and then, on a deeper level, she realized the reason for her current 'revival'.
It was Rias who summoned her soul back from the Pure Land and subsequently revived her.
Thinking of this, Pakura couldn't help but feel confused.
Because she already understood that this was no longer her original world.
"What's wrong? Do you still feel attached to your original world, your original village?"
Rias chuckled and teased.
"No..."
Pakura unconsciously clenched her fist and said with hatred, "Right now, my heart only holds anger and hatred toward the village that betrayed me."
"I don't understand the pain of being betrayed, but I imagine it must be terrible."
Rias looked into Pakura's eyes, sighed, slowly floated up, embraced her head, and whispered, "There is no need to cling to the past. From now on, live for me."
Gently rubbing her head, Rias smiled and said, "I guarantee in the name of Rias that I will never let you feel that kind of pain again."
"Rias...sama."
Pakura was stunned for a moment, and her gaze softened.
As the hero of Sunagakure, she was sold by her own village to Kirigakure.
Undoubtedly, this feeling was deeply disheartening.
Even recalling it now, it was natural for her, having been revived and losing her place of refuge, to feel hatred.
But thinking about it carefully, betrayal and utilization among Ninja were very normal occurrences.
Although she held resentment, it wasn't intense.
In the original work of *Naruto*, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, she vented her anger, and then faced her disciple, Maki.
Seeing her grow up well, Pakura later came to terms with it herself and let go of her hatred.
No matter how you look at it, Pakura is a very gentle person.
Although her Bloodline Limit was quite cruel to her enemies.
Scorch Release, which could instantly evaporate a person's moisture, turning the deceased into something resembling a mummy.
It was highly effective against Kirigakure, and she killed many people from Kirigakure during the great war.
And because her 'merit overshadowed her master,' she was sold out by the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
"Well, in any case, you've been revived, and life has to go on~"
Rias smiled, moved away from her original spot, and then pulled out a piece of clothing, saying, "You have a nice figure, but you can't show it off to others~"
"After all, Pakura's body was created by me; it belongs to me~"
"Hmm..." Pakura only realized she was naked after taking the clothes.
Her hair was dark green and had originally been tied up to avoid hindering movement, but it hung down now due to the revival. Two strands of orange hair fell vertically along the temples on either side of her face, giving her a unique look.
Her legs and waist were very slender, making one want to admire them, suited for not wearing stockings. Her skin was fair, and her chest was large, giving an impression of softness.
Her arms hung naturally, her fingers were long, and overall, she looked very beautiful.
Especially her unique temperament, possessing both a sternness and a unique gentleness, making her appear as a capable yet tender beauty.
"Mhm, you're a beauty whether you wear clothes or not."
Rias chuckled softly.
"Excuse me."
Rias's seemingly substantial gaze made Pakura's face flush slightly, but she didn't pay it too much mind.
Just as Rias said, this physical body was originally created by her, granting her a second life.
Her first life ended when she was betrayed by her village; now she welcomed a new life.
Therefore, living for Rias was only natural.
After all, having been betrayed by her village, she no longer had a place of refuge.
Furthermore, this place was too far from the Naruto World, and hatred could not sustain a new life, so she naturally had to seek a new place of refuge.
And Rias was her place of refuge.
Pakura's face had flashed through her mind by chance at the time, leading her to act. It seemed she had picked up a lovable loyal dog (complimentary).
"Looks like I profited~"
Watching Pakura quickly put on her clothes, Rias gently leaned over and stroked her head.
Seeming to recall something, Rias said, "Oh right, your disciple, Maki, she is doing well."
"Is that so? Then I can rest assured."
Pakura's expression softened.
Knowing that her disciple was doing well made her feel less attached to the Ninja World.
Rias also had plans for Pakura.
Her Bloodline Limit was powerful, but only to the level of a young High-Class Devil.
Only after undergoing Reincarnation, possessing a Source of Demonic Power, and integrating into the new system could she advance further.
Therefore, when Rias created Pakura's body, she had already performed the 'Reincarnation' ritual on her, just without registering her into the peerage.
So now, besides accompanying Rias daily, Pakura needed to undergo training to adapt to the new system.
With her ability, it wouldn't take long for her to reach the level of a Ultimate-Class Devil.
Rias gave Pakura a crystal, which contained the curriculum Rias had prepared, which was the Devil's system.
Besides basic application of demonic power, there were many Devil culture and courses, which Pakura would need to study for quite some time.
As for Rias, she was preparing gifts for Sirzechs and the others.
And her own experiments and cultivation had reached another level.
She no longer conducted physical training, but instead delved into the depths of her mind, exploring more of her own potential, and making the holy grail, the Hōgyoku, and the constantly running Fusion Equation resonate, thereby understanding the deeper essence of life.
Only through understanding could she influence things more precisely.
Rias was already able to multitask during this process.
A portion of her energy was dedicated to cultivation, while the other portion could be used for making gifts.
Although the gifts were not just for Sirzechs and Grayfia, she had only recently realized this, so she was using this opportunity to give them out.
Time flows—
Soon, Rias's gifts for everyone were ready.
Subsequently, the Wedding Anniversary of Sirzechs and Grayfia arrived.
