"I should be able to get them all taken care of in a few days, then, if nothing more important comes up."

Permalink

"That'd be very helpful. Thank you."

Permalink

"It's no trouble. What next?"

Permalink

Some testing is next - most of the interactions are friendly but not exceptionally exploitable - and then Tobirama asks Raafi if he's ready to try to resurrect the person Tobirama had mentioned earlier, Izuna, today.

Permalink

"Of course."

Permalink

So he sends a snow leopard to find Madara.

Permalink

Who arrives shortly thereafter, dark circles under his eyes, looking like he'd been disturbed from something important. "What's this about?" he asks, a bit brusquely. 

Permalink

"Hello, sir. I'm not sure how much you've been told - I recently arrived from another world, with a different system of magic. I can raise the dead - properly, as the people they were before. We can get your brother back."

Permalink

His eyes swirl to crimson. "...This isn't a trick."

Permalink

"No, it's not."

Permalink

"What do you need."

Permalink

"I can explain the details later, if you're interested, but everything's been taken care of except that I need part of his remains."

Permalink

"We burn our dead," he says, a bit hollowly, "But I have his eyes."

Permalink

He nods. "That'll work; I already checked. And I have magic prepared to restore your sight, too."

Permalink

"When do you need my eyes?"

Permalink

"I have everything prepared now; it'd be convenient for me to do it tonight, but I understand if you need some time."

Permalink

"No." Plucking his eyes out of his head right now feels like it'd be slightly rude but he is tempted to make a statement. "I'm ready now."

Permalink

He nods. "I suspect your healers are better prepared for this kind of surgery than I am," he says, half to Tobirama.

Permalink

"I can just remove them. We don't need to wait on healers."

Permalink

"-all right. There is one more thing you should know, first: I did a divination earlier to check whether this would work, like I said, and the result was 'restored and relieved of the shadow upon him'. I'm not sure what the shadow refers to."

Permalink

"I don't know. Some monks think we have a bloodline curse. It could be that. It could be grief. It could be inherited blindness."

Permalink

Nod. "It doesn't sound like a problem, at least, whatever it is. All right. We should move to someplace he'll be comfortable waking up; returning from the dead can be disorienting."

Permalink

"My house is probably best for that."

Permalink

"Sounds good to me."

The first thing he does, once the eyes are out, is regenerate Madara's own, and cast Remove Blindness, if that's necessary. Then he runs through the purification and magic-removal spells, explaining each one in broad terms before casting it; that done, he's prepared to cast the resurrection itself. It's long, but otherwise similar to his other spells: after several minutes of chanting the offering disappears and Izuna's body appears in its stead, unbreathing; he keeps chanting as a sense of presence grows in the room, stopping only when it fades and Izuna takes his first breath.

"It might be best if you leave before he wakes. He'll be wary," he says to Raafi. (Tobirama hasn't accompanied them at all.)
