"Resurrecting people just to re-kill them would be kind of fucked up!"

"The shinobi world often is."

"I've noticed that and object."

"You might get along with my brother Hashirama, then."

"Perhaps we'll resurrect him too, why not, this seems repeatable, yeah?"

"He seemed likely to be helpful with fixing politics."

"He sometimes has blind spots with people, but he does have respect going for him."

"Has that aged well?" Cam asks Sasuke.

"Yes. Now he's a dead legend. If he had flaws, no one remembers."

"He had flaws. We all do. He will likely be reluctant to intervene in modern politics, because our time is over, but if there's anyone trustworthy, he could throw his support behind them."

He shrugs. "I've been... Isolated. I don't know."

He knows what a couple of his year-mates were like as twelve-year-olds, but fifteen is a long ways from twelve.

"I'm not even from around here, though I guess I'd be good at digging up intel on people."

"What are your powers?"

"I can make things. I don't have to invent the things, I can copy, so it's useful for forensics."

"Do you form new things from raw materials, or do you create new matter? How much information do you need?"

"New matter. For a book 'title and author' is about right."

"Impressive. There's a good chance Orochimaru - or any other unfriendly actor - may try to subvert or control you if that gets out."

"Yes, this concerns me and is among the reasons I am nowhere near Orochimaru."

"It's another good reason to avoid a daeva as a bodyguard..." Sasuke mutters. Then, louder: "Do you think your brother would mind being brought back?"

"I don't think so. Though bringing him along openly might be... Aggressive."

"The Fourth would've known Orochimaru in life. I might try bringing him back, too. He'd be a good - more modern person."

"I can do this all day," says Cam.

"Then it might be best to grab everyone I know was sealed - at least to prevent Orochimaru from getting them."

"I need three bodies, and the genetic material of Senju Hashirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Namikaze Minato."

"I don't know who the fifth soul had been, though."

Bodies bodies bodies. Vials vials vials. "Do you know?" he asks Tobirama.

He shakes his head while Sasuke starts on the process. "Possibly one of the Uzumaki. They developed the technique, after all. Or perhaps whoever was the enemy of this Namikaze; he wasn't sealed with us, and the Death God's seal always traps both the user and their target."
