"That guy who promised us infinite resurrects should be reliable enough for this - otherwise for Edo Tensei, my world's native intelligent undead technique, I'd need some of his body, and that's rather vaporized right now."

"Ah, the cleric of- whichever god that was."

"Someone unimportant, I'm sure."

"An opinion perhaps best kept amongst ourselves, though I will not dispute it."

She laughs. "Anything else, before I go to bother the cleric?"

"I do not believe so."

"Very well. I'll return shortly, then." She uses her own portal for leaving.

"We should look into getting a proper in-house solution at some point," Ellayania says.

"I should be able to spread my auto-resurrect to you guys... Less sure about fetching people I've never met..."

"That would be the principal use case."

"I'll play around. See what I can do. And who knows, we might keep getting lucky with our alts."

"It has been somewhat a trend."

"Best not to rely on it."

"We might hit more drama, yeah. Almost everyone's had a problem, so far I think...?"

"Around half, depending if you count the Keres and Hisame- excuse me, Tentou."

"Hm... Unclear, there, yeah."

"Still, not odds we should gamble with at this point."

"One problem at a time, then."

"Right."

And Tentou returns shortly thereafter.

With her old friend in tow.

"Hey," he says. "Hisame explained some of what's going on - you want me to track Zetsu?"

"Yes. We found another world like yours, and intend to short-circuit its doom."

"I'm in, and so's the Nine Tails."

"Excellent."

"I'm ready to go, unless there's anything vitally different I need to get caught up on...?"
