Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

His soul left his body and he was bound to a rack!

"Oh no, that mark is...!" Ryoma Aburame's pupils shrank drastically behind his sunglasses.

"My soul will not go to the Pure Land of Bliss, but you accomplices of evil, may you all sink into hell with me!!"

—Netherworld Fire Release: Hellfire Crimson Lotus!

Bear bear bear bear bear bear!!!

The sea of ​​fire bursts forth, transforming into a crimson lotus!

It devoured hundreds of members of the Root.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Their souls were extracted from their bodies and bound together to the stake...

Flames roared! Hundreds of twisted souls, along with Fugaku's own, were burned at the stake and plunged into hell, suffering the torment of being fried in oil and burned, never to be reincarnated!

"Itachi, Sasuke...you must live well!"

Fugaku collapsed to the ground... before him lay the corpses of hundreds of Root elite members!

In the distance... Shisui, who had witnessed all of this, silently withdrew his gaze.

Click! He used a kunai to carve the mark of a rogue ninja onto his headband and then put it back on.

"I will use my eyes to find the true path... Farewell, Konoha!"

Under the moonlight, two lines of bloody tears flowed from the corners of Shisui's eyes, and the three-tomoe pattern of his Sharingan underwent a dramatic change at this moment!

On the night of the Uchiha clan massacre, 10-year-old Uchiha Shisui awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan!

Chapter 144 After the devastating news, they... (4/5)

Konoha Village, the underground headquarters of Root.

"Lord Danzo, the actual number of corpses we counted in the Uchiha clan doesn't match the number on the roster! Dozens are missing," a member of Root reported.

"What? Are you sure there aren't any who slipped through the net?" Danzo asked, frowning.

“During the operation, all entrances and exits to the Uchiha residential area were sealed off by us. Even if a very few experts were able to get out, there couldn’t possibly be so many who escaped!” a Root member stated truthfully.

Danzo clenched his fist: Entering so stealthily, taking it away without a sound—was it him…?

The person he was thinking of was Uchiha Yu, a man who was a nightmare even for Danzo, the dark side of the ninja world!

Immediately, Danzo, covering the bandage on his right eye, said, "Never mind, the Uchiha clan has hundreds of Sharingan already. It doesn't matter if we're missing a few dozen. As long as we can get the Mangekyou Sharingan for the right eye, that's fine."

But half an hour later, devastating news arrived: all the Root members who went to hunt down Fugaku Uchiha, including Ryoma Aburame, were wiped out, and Fugaku's right eye was missing!

"Damn it!!" Danzo was furious like never before, and smashed the teacup on the ground.

He had considered that there would be losses in the pursuit of Fugaku, but he did not expect the losses to be so great. What he found most unbearable was that, despite such a huge price, he still did not get Fugaku's right eye!

"Uchiha Fugaku, even in death, are you still going to stick a thorn in my throat?!" Danzo slammed his bandaged fist on the table in anger!

"Lord Danzo, please calm down. There is still a chance to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan!" At this moment, the person in front of him hurriedly said, "The members we sent out to hunt down Fugaku's two sons have not returned. They were probably killed. His two sons should still be alive!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's lips curled into a sinister smile once more: "Yes, at least they left behind something good. Father and son, brothers, the true power of the Mangekyou Sharingan—even that Uchiha Yu didn't possess it. If I had it, why would I have trouble defeating him..."

"Investigate the whereabouts of Fugaku's son immediately!" Danzo ordered.

"So what should we do with it after we find it? Bring it back directly, or..." The member looked up, his eyes dark beneath the mask.

"Ordinary Sharingan eyes are of no value to me anymore. Report back to me immediately after finding them. Do not act rashly..."

"Yes, Lord Danzo." The man withdrew.

Danzo gazed at the flickering candlelight, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "When Uchiha Yu appeared before me, I initially thought he intended to take the Nine-Tails, but the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki returned safely after giving birth. I truly cannot fathom what his purpose is..."

"There is still a chance to obtain the Nine-Tails again. Minato and his wife are still young, and they may have children in the future. If there is a second birth, I will definitely not miss the opportunity. Otherwise, as long as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still the Hokage's wife, the Fourth Hokage's position will be absolutely unshakable, and I will not be able to become the Hokage."

Danzo raised his head, his eyes filled with obsession and fanaticism: "Hokage, only when I become the actual leader of Konoha Village can this Konoha Village, this ninja world, usher in a true change!"

Hidden Village.

In a room of Tianyu Pavilion.

Itachi changed Sasuke's diaper and lulled him to sleep. He sat alone on the floor, gazing at the stars outside the window. He knew that his parents and his clansmen were mostly no longer in this world.

He didn't shed a tear. He felt that he had already cried all his tears on the night he took his younger brother away from home.

Knock, knock, knock! A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Please come in." Itachi's gaze remained fixed on the stars, his voice indifferent yet polite.

The door opened, and Lin Yu walked in with a little girl.

"Itachi...?" The girl's incredulous voice rang out.

Itachi looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes suddenly flashing: "Izumi?"

"Itachi... Itachi!" Izumi's lips trembled as she ran forward and hugged Itachi, tears streaming down her face. "It really is you, you're really here, Itachi!"

Itachi also snapped out of his daze. He placed his hands on Izumi's shoulders, gently pushed her away from his embrace, and asked, "Izumi, how did you get here?"

"A group of people with weapons and wearing animal masks stormed into the village and killed everyone!" Izumi said, turning to look at Lin Yu and then to Itachi, "It was him, this big brother, who saved me and brought me here... I never expected you to be here too, Itachi, thank goodness, waaaah!"

After grief and despair, the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land gave Quan's young and wounded heart a little comfort!

Itachi looked at Lin Yu behind Izumi and wondered: Did he go to the scene to witness the fate of his clan, or was it for the Sharingan?

But of course he couldn't say those words out loud.

He said gently to Izumi, "Izumi, the person who saved you was the Shadow of the Hidden Shadow Village, Lord Uchiha Yu. It was he who took in Sasuke and me."

"Shadow?? Lies, lies! He, he's the savior and spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan that the people always talk about??" Izumi turned around, staring at Lin Yu in disbelief.

"I'm not as great as you say. Saving you was just something I did on the spur of the moment. You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Itachi..." After saying this, Lin Yu turned and left the room.

Izumi turned to look at Itachi, and asked in confusion, "Itachi... did you ask Lord Shadow to save me?"

"..." Itachi didn't know how to answer, so he didn't reply. He asked, "Are all the clansmen gone?"

Quan's expression turned sorrowful once more: "Everyone is gone except me. The streets are littered with corpses. I...I..."

At this point, Quan's small body trembled.

"Alright, Izumi, stop talking..." Itachi said gently and calmly, "Izumi, could you please look after Sasuke?"

"Sasuke, is that your little brother? Where are you going?" Izumi asked, gazing at the tiny baby sleeping soundly on the bed.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back." Itachi opened the window and jumped out.

At the summit of the mountain where the Great Waterfall falls from the Hidden Village, Itachi stands, gazing at the moon.

Upon hearing the devastating news, a deep tremor ran through him.

Even though he thought he had cried all his tears, the tears still flowed uncontrollably.

After crying, Itachi murmured to the night sky, "Father, Mother, I hope you will be reborn in a place free from war and strife in your next life. Don't worry about Sasuke; I will take good care of him, raise him to adulthood, and let him inherit the pride of the Uchiha clan! And Shisui, I hope you didn't become a victim of this tragedy..."

Hidden outside the village.

Lin Yu built a tomb where he buried the dozens of bodies he had brought back from the Uchiha clan.

Of course, he retrieved all the Sharingan eyes from these remains.

Each tombstone is engraved with the deceased's name...

This was once Obito's body, so it retains some memories of his clan, and therefore, he knows their names...

Lin Yu is a transmigrator, and he has no sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan.

For now, it is merely a final, most righteous remembrance.

"Yu-kun, it seems that the ninja world has been turned upside down again during my slumber..." Orochimaru's hoarse and complex voice rang out behind Lin Yu.

Chapter 145 Orochimaru, a Friend of the Soul! (5/5)

"Orochimaru, you woke up much earlier than I expected this time," Lin Yu said, turning around.

"After all, you've gained the power of Sage Mode; you're not the same as before," Orochimaru chuckled. "Shall we begin our plan immediately?"

After a long silence, Lin Yu said, "No need to rush, let's take a break..."

Orochimaru thought to himself: It seems that this incident has stirred up some emotions in Yu-kun's heart...

He could hear a hint of weariness in Lin Yu's voice.

"Would you like to take a walk together, Yu-kun?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.

Lin Yu glanced at Orochimaru with surprise.

Then, under the moonlight, the two strolled together on the outskirts of Dark Hidden Village.

"Yu-kun, do you have parents?" Orochimaru asked.

If anyone else had asked this question, Lin Yu might have given them a Kamui attack, but he wasn't angry that Orochimaru asked.

"I have parents, but they are not in the same world as me..." Lin Yu's answer seemed to imply that his parents were no longer alive.

Orochimaru asked inexplicably, "If you could return to the same world, what choice would you make, Yu-kun?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu said, "I've never thought about this question, but I don't think I will."

Orochimaru gazed at the night sky: "I also had parents. My initial research was to see them, but as my research deepened, I gradually realized that human life is far too superficial, and it is those truths that transcend life that truly captivate me..."

Orochimaru turned his gaze to Lin Yu: "We are all people who pursue our ideals and beliefs, and who have shed our burdens..."

“Yes, but occasionally, I do feel a little tired…” Lin Yu turned to Orochimaru: “Orochimaru, what do you do when you feel tired?”

Lin Yu never thought that Orochimaru would never tire of pursuing the truth; he just wouldn't let anyone see it.

Orochimaru's vertical pupils silently watched Lin Yu: "I'm going to take a nap."

"What else?"

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Let's do something that lets us let loose..."

"Letting loose? Does sleeping with women count?" Lin Yu asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, Yu-kun~, I have absolutely no interest in reproduction, because I know there are ways to continue the family line without reproduction, so why make people suffer the pain of ten months of pregnancy..." Orochimaru's answer was refreshingly unconventional.
