Resuscitation jutsu ties a person's soul to a vessel, causing it to be in a state between life and death.
However, there are two major problems with this jutsu; the first is that because the soul of the person has already left this world, it is necessary to cut the bond that it has with the holy land, the bond of death, so that it can return without problem to the plane of the living. The second is that the container is never completely perfect to accommodate the soul, which generates the same problem that happened when Orochimaru changed his body. However, this was already solved thanks to Tsunade. If all those prisoners they caught at this time knew that the tortures they went through resulted in the creation of such a powerful jutsu, I wonder how they would feel.
Although everything sounded good, Lite did not think it would be so simple, it only remained to try the jutsu first and see how well it turned out.
— Ready? (Lite)
— Ready! (Tsunade & Minato)
In a room that they had specially prepared for this event, there were the three most knowledgeable on the subject. They separated from each other as there could be complications. Although Lite was here, he was only allowed if Minato leave a mark on him so that he could evacuate quickly in case of a problem.
Those who would be in charge of activating the technique would be Minato and Tsunade. Minato would perform the jutsu and Tsunade would "turn on" Mito's body. Because this was a very delicate process, it had to be done almost at the same time.
— On the count of three, remember that, if you're not careful, then there could be two souls in the same body, and we don't know what consequences that could bring. (Tsunade)
— Yes. (Minato)
— Ok. So… 3, 2, 1... Now! (Tsunade)
At that moment, Minato made the necessary seals and Tsunade used her chakra to awaken the body, she had to do it quickly and carefully.
The process took less than 5 seconds, but everyone there felt like hours had passed. Sweat fell from their foreheads, agitated breaths and heartbeats at a thousand per second indicated how agitated their emotions were.
Their throats dried up, their gaze was fixed and each neuron they possessed analyzed all the information their senses captured.

Mito's body slowly opened its eyes. And at that moment, no one could help but let out a sigh which meant that all their work had not been in vain.
However, at that moment they realized something. Until this moment, what they saw was simply a lifeless body, but now, it was Mito who was already possessing that body.
— Oh, shit! (Minato)
And without further thought, the brave fourth Hokage, who was willing to protect his village to the last consequences, escaped from that place before Tsunade, Mito and Kushina killed him for having seen the wife of the first Hokage naked. However, whether he could remain in this world would remain to be seen.
— You traitor! (Lite)
However, he did not take into account that there was another person who would possibly also be killed for the same crime. Only his childish status could save him, but considering his mental maturity, that remained to be seen.
'Why didn't I think of this before?' (Minato and Lite)
---------------------------- x X x ---------------------------
Mito opened her eyes and felt like she was in an unfamiliar room. She slowly rose from the floor, still with her senses numb, and began to analyze his surroundings. In front of her she could glimpse a young man with yellow hair for a brief momento before he disappeared, a little further away, a boy of about three years of age looked at her with a reddened and pale face at the same time, a rare combination.
She felt totally bewildered with her current situation. She remembered dying and a little of her last moments, but that was all.
— Grandma? (Tsunade)
— ? (Mito)
She looked at the boy and it didn't take long for him to look away. Mito couldn't help but wonder if he found her scary enough to make that kind of expression. When she was about to ask him what was going on, she heard a voice calling to her.
It was the voice of an elderly person, not old, but you could tell that the years had passed by her. However, how could she not recognize her?
At first, she was quite surprised, she didn't know what might be going on. She turned slowly and there she saw her, although she had already grown old, she could easily superimpose the current image with that of a little girl who all she knew was how to do was mischief all day.
— Tsuna-chan? (Mito)
— Yes… It is me. (Tsunade)
They looked at each other for a moment. Mito did not understand how they were meeting again while Tsunade, who was looking for the answers to her questions, could not find a way to process her thoughts when she saw someone precious to her after so long.
After a few minutes, Mito was the first to react, she stood up and walked towards her granddaughter. This short time helped her understand most of what was happening. It was obvious that her beloved granddaughter had brought her back with the help of her not so beloved brother-in-law's jutsu.
About of the child's gaze? She didn't care about something so small, but she would have to settle accounts with the guy who managed to escape a moment ago.
What astonishes her enough is that she notices practically no discomfort at having been revived, besides that her body does not have the appearance of someone who has been revived with the edo tensei.
It didn't take much longer for Tsunade to come out of her stupor as well. Quickly, she went to her grandmother and covered her with a blanket that he had already prepared.
— Oh! Don't be like that, he's just a kid. Mito
Hearing that, Tsunade couldn't help but feel weird, if Lite could be considered just a child, then this world would have already been saved or destroyed by the so-called geniuses.
Mito could see the expression on her dear granddaughter's face, although she did not understand it, she decided to cover herself the same because she felt a little cold, something that surprised her again, since she supposedly should not have sensations in this state.
— Tsuna-chan, I need an explanation. Mito
— …Yes... I also have things I would like to ask you. (Tsunade)
---------------------------- x X x ---------------------------
Mito was escorted by Lite and Tsunade to the room where they normally do their meetings and plans.
There were Kushina, Tsunade, Mito, Lite, who surprised Mito by participating in this type of matter, and Minato, who had all his face purple and was sitting quietly, could not move well because of all the blows he received from the three women present. Lite was lucky to be forgiven for the time being, but he knew it was only delaying the inevitable.
— Now, can you explain to me what's going on? And why is the little one here? Mito
— It's an honor to meet you, let me introduce myself. My name is Lite Uchiha, I am three years old. You should be wondering why we summoned you. (Lite)
Lite dreamed of always saying these words, so he went with his plan and adopted the pose of Gendo Ikari.
— We need your help to save the world. (Lite)
Minato on one side had taken the same stance, affirming what Lite was saying. Seeing this, Mito believed that they would get along very well with Hashirama.
— …Okay, just... explain things to me. (Mito)
She, with a slight headache, just wanted to understand what had happened since she left.
— Well, it's a pretty long story... (Tsunade)
.
.
.
After hearing everything that had happened, Mito only felt a big headache.
— Are you telling me that this child has done all that? Mito
— Yes. (Tsunade)
— Does that mean he's a lot more mature than he looks? (Mito)
— Well… Something like that, he's a pretty mature kid. (Tsunade)
— I see... (Mito)
At the time, Lite knew his life was in danger, and he was right.
Five minutes later, there was another person in the room in the same physical condition as Minato.
— *Sigh* Seriously... Did you confirm everything he said? (Mito)
— As we have already explained, if it were not for him, then the village would have suffered serious damage in the kyuubi invasion. (Minato)
— Okay, give me a moment to process this. Mito
Mito began to think and analyze all the information she had received. She couldn't help but find it amazing and practically fantastical. But she found no reason for three Kage-level ninjas to lie in such an exaggerated way. Above all, with things that are so easily verifiable; it was enough to go to Konoha to check on the invasion and the casualties that occurred.
— I already understood that, now I have an equally important question. How did you revive me? (Mito)
— Well, it's not that you're alive, we use Tobirama's jutsu. (Lite)
Listening to Lite, Mito frowned a little. If he spoke directly to Minato, it is because they have forged a relationship of trust between them, but Tobirama is the second Hokage and her brother-in-law. For a guy to mention it so lightly didn't suit her, that meant she even treated her husband the same way.
Lite obviously noticed that Mito gesture, so he decided to clear things up.
— Please don't look at me like that. Something I inherited from my previous self is that respect is earned by actions, not by office. The second may have given everything he could for the village, I don't know, but I do know that because of his mistakes the village will be destroyed in the future. (Lite)
Minato and Kushina were shocked to hear that, as Lite hadn't mentioned any of that so far.
— What are you talking about? (Minato)
— I did not want to mention it before because I consider that it is a future that can now be avoided, but because of his dear disciples and the ideas he left behind is that in the present and future Konoha is much weaker than it has ever been. (Lite)
These are the memories that Lite had recovered not long ago, obviously referring to the destruction of the Uchiha clan and the invasion of Pain, on the other hand, there was also Danzo, who at the time that Pain went to the village was not seen anywhere, all the members of his root and he himself had disappeared.
Lite was very clear that if the Uchiha clan had integrated into Konoha, it would be strong enough to resist the guy with the god complex. Keep in mind that there were only a few people who directly faced Pain in the invasion. So the addition of such a powerful clan would have been enough to defeat Pain, or at least contain him before he destroys the village.
The people who hurt Konoha the most all this time were not external enemies, but the disciples of the second, one is a guy who lives in the shadows taking advantage of everything he can and using any means to achieve Hokage's position, the other is an incompetent who lets him do what he wants, and the last two are corrupt elders.
Lite didn't stay quiet with any of his thoughts and told the woman in front of him everything without any fear. And Mito could only listen, her face growing more tired and disappointed with every word.
— We got a little off topic, but don't ask me to respect a guy like that. (Lite)
— *Sigh* I guess I can't ask for more. Following that, I guess you don't even think much of my husband. Mito
— … (Lite)
She lived in the time of the second, so she saw all her actions up close and his love for the village. The same with Tsunade, she also held her great uncle in very high esteem, but it is only now, analyzing all the consequences that his bad decisions caused. They think if they could have done something at that time...
Regarding the first one, Lite also looks down on him. His highly idealized view of the world and delivering strategic weapons was what caused the next three great ninja wars. On the other hand, he didn't finish killing Madara, just those two mistakes were enough for Lite to feel disdain towards him.
