Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

The dragon vein seemed to sense the danger, its chakra became extremely unstable, and it attempted to escape!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, wooden dragons emerged from the walls on all four sides of the Zhenlong Pagoda.

"Ah!" A wooden dragon emerged from the wall behind Xiyang, deliberately avoiding her as it stretched out. She was startled and quickly dodged to the side, patting her chest.

The dragon's mouth converges near the hole, suppressing the tendency of the dragon vein's chakra to overflow.

Rumble!

Around the base, wooden stakes with iron spikes also rise up, generating a powerful suppressive force that further suppresses the dragon vein's chakra back into the hole.

This Dragon-Suppressing Pagoda is a product of the Wood Release Immortal Technique; it's far more than just a decoration!

Under the dual constraints of the Vortex Dragon-Trapping Formation and the Wood Release Immortal Technique, no matter how strong this dragon vein is, it has no choice but to obediently submit!

The dragon vein chakra stabilized and began to flow back.

"Phew..." Xi Yang let out a long sigh and patted his chest.

Whoosh! The Silent Sage Mode reached its end, Lin Yu's kaleidoscope eyes disappeared, his pupils turned a desolate white, and blood gushed from the corners of his eyes, dripping onto his feet.

"Ugh!!" He covered his eyes in pain.

"Yu!!" Xi Yang was terrified and ran forward, asking, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Phew, phew, it's okay, I'll be fine after a rest." Lin Yu's vision blurred for a moment.

"Really, why do it so recklessly? If once isn't enough, just do it a few more times..." Xi Yang said with heartache.

"I want the children in the village to enjoy the blessings of the dragon vein as soon as possible..." Lin Yu said, he had truly devoted himself to the village.

"I hope that in the future, those children will know the good intentions you've put in," Xi Yang said with mixed feelings.

"Yes, I will," Lin Yu said.

Whoosh! Neither of them noticed that the blood that fell from Lin Yu's eyes to his feet was enveloped by the dragon vein's chakra and flowed back into the hole...

click!

The depression is sealed, and the Dragon Trapping Formation is complete!

Boom! Boom!

The wooden dragon retracted into the wall, the wooden stake sank into the ground, and everything calmed down.

"Is that all?" asked the setting sun.

"No, there's still one more formation to set up, but it won't consume as much energy." Lin Yu stood up, wrote the incantation around the base, and formed hand seals.

Whirlpool Formation - Dragon Summoning!

The Dragon-Trapping Formation is a formation that can trap people. The Earth Swamp Formation is a formation that utilizes the dragon veins. It allows the dragon vein chakra to gently nourish the land of the Hidden Village. Over the years, the people living here will naturally have more chakra than ordinary people!

After finishing, Yu and Xiyang walked back up the steps.

With her small hands clasped behind her back, Xiyang asked curiously, "Yu, why bury the dragon vein so deep?"

Lin Yu said, "The dragon vein itself possesses an immense amount of chakra, likely comparable to any tailed beast other than the Nine-Tails. However, unlike tailed beasts, it lacks a stable form and the will to control its chakra, making it extremely unstable. If it's not buried deep enough, it might get out of control and cause the Hidden Dark Village to disappear..."

"I see." Hearing this, Xiyang nodded, then looked around with her beautiful eyes and asked, "So, are these layers of towers just for show?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly: "It's not just for show, it's a trial."

"A trial?" Sunset exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the chakra of the dragon vein is extremely powerful. The closer one gets to the source of the dragon vein, the greater the benefit, but the corresponding risk is also greater. Not everyone can bear this blessing, so we must determine who has the ability to get closer to the source of the dragon vein. Therefore, I have prepared a 100-level trial for the future of the Hidden Shadow Village! Those who can pass the trial can increase their chakra in a place closer to the dragon vein!"

"What are the contents of the trial?"

"I will have Orochimaru prepare 99 powerful resurrected warriors, and assign them to guard the first floor above ground and the ninety-eighth floor underground, based on their strength. Only by defeating these powerful warriors can one train on the corresponding floor..."

"My goodness, that's quite a generous gesture..." Xi Yang exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, you said 99 people, so what is the trial on the 100th floor?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips: "Well, we'll reveal that later..."

"Oh my, you're keeping me in suspense!" Xi Yang patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.

"Okay, actually I just haven't thought it through yet~" Lin Yu shrugged.

"I knew it!" The setting sun smiled radiantly.

That night, Lin Yu found Orochimaru and handed him the mangled corpse of Hiruko.

"Hiruko, Hatsukashi na~ (How nostalgic), I never thought he would die so inexplicably..." Orochimaru sighed.

Lin Yu asked, "Can you research his Ghost Sprout Luo Technique?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. That's not a bloodline limit, but a secret technique unique to him that can't be obtained through biological means... However, if we ask him directly about the Impure World Reincarnation, that's a different story."

"Then let's get ready quickly!" Lin Yu said.

He was very interested in the Demon Sprout Technique because it would give him the possibility of obtaining a bloodline limit other than Wood Release and Sharingan!

Even though Orochimaru's cell technology could grant him other bloodlines, Lin Yu didn't want to become a disgusting creature like 'Orochi Kabuto' from the original work.

Moreover, transplanting someone else's bloodline might also pose a risk of contaminating Hashirama's bloodline!

The Ghost Sprout Technique perfectly solved this problem!

Chapter 165 The Demon Sprout Technique! (3/5)

Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation!

After using up another Rain Village sacrifice, amidst the smoke and dust, a handsome man with a jade-like face and white hair, whose body was wrapped in bandages, appeared before Lin Yu and Orochimaru.

Oh...surprisingly, he's quite handsome.

"Hiruko, Sashiburidana~ (Long time no see)" Orochimaru greeted with a smile.

"Orochimaru!" Upon seeing Orochimaru before him, Hiruko's deep gray eyes narrowed sharply.

Hiruko, a friend of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, was not particularly outstanding in ninja skills. Living under the shadow of the Sannin for a long time, he finally decided to defect from Konoha and embark on the path of pursuing power. Unfortunately, before he could achieve his goal, he was killed by three inexperienced children.

"How pathetic I am, Hiruko. I spent my whole life chasing after you, only to become your puppet after death..." Hiruko said sadly.

"It wasn't me who summoned you, but this person, Shadow Uchiha Yu," Orochimaru introduced Lin Yu to Hiruko.

"You mean... Shadow, Uchiha Yu!? The man who defeated the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!" Hiruko finally shifted his gaze from Orochimaru's face and stared intently at the masked boy.

Among the opponents Lin Yu has defeated so far, there are probably many who are stronger than the Sannin of Konoha, but Hiruko only cares about these three, which shows how obsessed he is with the Sannin.

Lin Yu cut to the chase: "Hiruko, I'm very interested in your Oni-Ya-Luo technique. Tell me how to form the hand seals."

Hiruko, however, gave an irrelevant answer: "Reincarnation in the Impure World requires life matter. How did you obtain my corpse?"

Lin Yu patiently explained, "Because the Akatsuki organization you joined is all under my command. Getting your corpse would be a piece of cake for them."

"What did you say?! You said Xiao is your subordinate?!"

"Hmm~ Although I'm not very interested, can you tell me your reasons for joining Akatsuki?" Lin Yu asked.

After a moment's thought, Hiru said, "I am searching for the fifth bloodline limit, which is related to my future power ceiling. I must choose carefully. The Akatsuki organization has risen to prominence in recent years. I have heard that Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, is a ninja with great abilities. I want to try to get close to him and see if I can obtain his bloodline limit..."

"You even want the Rinnegan? You must have a lot of ambition..." Lin Yu thought with disdain.

But he didn't show his disdain on his face. Instead, he asked, "Why be so fixated on the fifth one? Aren't more bloodline limits always better?"

Hiruko said, "The Demon Sprout Technique has limitations. Through this technique, a maximum of five bloodline limits can be fused! Once fused, they cannot be discarded! Therefore, I carefully selected each one! Only in this way can I maximize my strength!"

"I see," Lin Yu asked. "So what are the four bloodline limits you currently possess?"

Hiruko declared emphatically, "Cloud Village's Storm Release! Rock Village's Lava Release! Sand Village's Scorch Release! Mist Village's Ice Release!"

"You've really learned a lot. Alright, tell me the hand seals for the Ghost Sprout Technique~" Lin Yu returned to the main topic.

“Since I’m already dead, I can tell you, but on one condition!” Hiruko said.

"What are the conditions?"

"Defeat me!"

"What?" Lin Yu was stunned.

"A body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation, immortal and indestructible. If I had such a body, I would be invincible. How could I be killed by those few brats!" Hiruko's words were sure to shock.

Sigh, did they think having four bloodline limits plus an Edo Tensei body made them invincible...?

To be honest, Lin Yu felt a little sorry for him.

However, it's still better than him thinking in the movie that obtaining five bloodline limits would allow him to challenge the five great nations...

"Alright, if I beat you into submission, you'll be willing to confess, right? Then let's do it." Lin Yu decided to grant his request.

Orochimaru consciously stepped aside.

Whoosh! Hiruko's bandaged hands formed a hand seal, his chest bulging high! You have to admit, his hand seal movements were quite serious, exuding an aura of confidence!

Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!

call out!call out!call out!

He spewed out multiple lava fireballs from his mouth!

"Melting" Release is a fusion of Fire Release and Earth Release, while "Dissolving" Release is a manipulative ninjutsu with highly corrosive viscous liquid properties. It is a technique unique to the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, and some soft-bodied summoning beasts. It is important to distinguish between them.

"The volcanic bomb, it's terrifying, combining physical destruction and burning damage. However, it's far inferior to the Lava Release that Naruto used to cut down the God Tree..."

Looking at the approaching lava fireball, Lin Yu murmured to himself, forming hand seals.

Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!

Piu! Piu! Piu!

Lin Yu spat out a series of vacuum blasts composed of high-pressure wind blasts... Boom! Boom! Boom! The volcanic bombs were shattered, and the flames on them were blown away by the wind after the eruption!

Even ordinary escaping techniques can withstand bloodline limits if the chakra is strong enough, and the present situation is the best proof of that!

“Ma da ma da! (It’s not over yet!)” Birukhu continued to form hand seals.

Ice Release: Cold Moon Frost!

Whoosh! A chill rose from around Lin Yu's feet, condensing the moisture in the air into a huge block of ice, freezing Lin Yu inside!

He thought to himself: Oh, the bloodline limit of the fusion of Ice Release, Wind Release and Water Release is the bloodline limit of the Minazuki clan. 'Haku' should be born by now. If I meet him in the future, I must bring 'him' to my village.
