Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, possessed a special bloodline limit: Wood Release: Earth Release + Water Release + Yang Release Transformation. This technique allowed him to transform chakra into a source of life, accelerate and control plant growth, unleash powerful attacks, and control enemies. It was a ninjutsu capable of pacifying a chaotic world.

"Just by looking at the description, you can't really tell how powerful Wood Release is," Lin Yu said.

"Well, actually, rather than saying that Wood Release made the First Hokage, it's more accurate to say that the First Hokage made Wood Release what it is. No matter how powerful a technique is, it still depends on who the user is," Orochimaru said.

"I agree." Lin Yu nodded and continued reading.

The First Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, possesses the special bloodline ability: Wild Release, a combination of Earth and Fire attributes with Yin Release transformations. When applied to the external world, it can cause the earth to become barren.

The decay of plants, when applied to living beings, can drain their vitality in an instant.

"This... seems to be extremely effective against Wood Release!" Lin Yu frowned.

"Yes, Ara-jutsu is the only jutsu that can rival Wood Release at the jutsu level. During the Warring States period, Ishigawa used the power of Ara-jutsu to cause quite a bit of trouble for Lord Hashirama. However, Lord Hashirama's chakra reserves were too vast, and he managed to break through Ara-jutsu with Wood Release. It remains a shadow that Ishigawa can never shake off throughout his life."

"Two opposing forces, if I could obtain them... that would be wonderful," Lin Yu murmured.

The First Kazekage, Retsuto, possesses a special bloodline limit: Void Release, which combines lightning, wind, and yin transformations. He can interfere with or even control any phenomenon existing in the air, including cold, heat, dryness, wetness, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, clouds, fog, sound, and even light!

"Once the sunset masters Mito's power and uses the Void Release bloodline, it might even be stronger than Retsuto~" Lin Yu said hopefully.

The First Mizukage, Byakuren, possesses the Bloodline Limit: Plague Release, a combination of Water, Wind, and Earth Release techniques. This allows him to transform his chakra into a source of plague, spreading deadly pathogens through the air…

Lin Yu frowned again: "Air as a medium?? Then wouldn't that make you truly invincible!"

Orochimaru said, "The First Mizukage was a true embodiment of misfortune. During the Warring States period, his Plague Release caused the extinction of tens of thousands of people, including his own clan. Even the First Hokage, Hashirama, nearly died after being hit by it. It was only because Hashirama's life force was so immense that he survived and developed an immunity to Byakuren's Plague Release. From then on, wherever Hashirama was, Byakuren would have to give way..."

"Furthermore, the pathogen of the White Lotus is transmitted through the air, so the Void Escape technique, which can manipulate air phenomena, is its nemesis. That's why the White Lotus dislikes Lie Dou so much..."

After listening, Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully. At the first Five Kage Summit, when Retsuto proposed exchanging tailed beasts for land, the first person to stand up and confront him was the Mizukage Byakuren, who even said that the four countries should unite to destroy the Land of Wind...

The First Raikage, A, Bloodline Limit: Tremor Release, a combination of Lightning, Earth, and Wind Release techniques. He uses powerful taijutsu to unleash a shockwave that disintegrates any opponent he hits at the atomic level!

"From the atomic level, isn't that even more monstrous than the dust escape technique that decomposes to the molecular level?" Lin Yu said.

Orochimaru chuckled, "Each has its strengths. Dust Release can be launched from a distance and can freely change its shape, breaking matter into molecules, but Tremor Release requires close-range combat, directly hitting the enemy with your body to generate a shockwave, which requires strong taijutsu as support..."

After learning about the abilities of the First Hokage, Lin Yu finally understood why the Senju were so powerful and needed to join forces with the Uchiha to subdue the various clans. It turned out that they were not weak either!

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, uses the Kekkei Tota and Dust Release techniques, combining Wind, Fire, and Earth Release. He creates a deformable, semi-transparent barrier in his hand and launches it at his opponent, shattering them into atomic fragments and obliterating them with a large-scale explosion. The user can alter the barrier's shape to their liking, making its power far surpass that of most other ninjutsu.

Dust Release... is one of the very few techniques that can threaten Lin Yu, and it is also the only bloodline limit technique that still has a user!

"Onoki of the Two Scales, Dust Release..." Lin Yu's eyes flashed.

"Yu-kun, shall we use Dust Release?" Orochimaru asked.

Dust Release is indeed incredibly powerful, even Lin Yu is wary of it. However, the Truth-Seeking Balls possess all the characteristics of Dust Release. Once he obtains the power of the Ten-Tails and learns the Six Paths Sage Techniques, Dust Release will be useless...

To put it simply, it's an early-game skill.

"Don't let that power blind you, think long-term..." Lin Yu finally reluctantly gave up Dust Escape.

His gaze drifted downwards, and there was one last paragraph on the parchment.

Yes, the Shadows of the Nations, the only ones whose abilities are still unclear!

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, possesses a special bloodline limit: Gold Release! Using chakra as a source, he can transform sandstone from the Land of Earth into an equal amount of gold of perfect purity!

"Holy crap!! Turning stone into gold!!" Lin Yu stood up abruptly from his seat.

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Yes, turning stone into gold, that is the true meaning of a wealthy ninjutsu. Back then, Sunagakure concealed the Second Kazekage's ability and purchased common sandstone from the Land of Earth at a high price. Then, they used the Gold Release to mass-produce it into gold, which was known as 'Shamon's Gold Making'. It once made Sunagakure the richest village!"

"Unfortunately, this Gold Release bloodline was eventually exposed because of a traitor in Sunagakure. It originated from the Land of Earth and was made from sandstone, which was considered inexhaustible. For a time, it was speculated to be worth almost as much as gold!"

"What's even more regrettable is that Shamon died young. He died just a few years after becoming Kazekage, at the age of 25, making him the shortest-lived Kazekage in history."

"After his death, all nations desperately sought his body to restore the Gold Release bloodline. Even a single hair of his could fetch hundreds of millions of taels on the black market. But in the end, the Gold Release was like a fleeting moment, never to reappear. The sandstone of Iwagakure once again became worthless, a truly lamentable situation..."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, Lin Yu slowly sat back down in his chair, his eyes flickering...

He could do without Dust Release, but to be honest, he desperately wanted Gold Release!

The reason is very practical: what man doesn't like gold!

"Sigh, what a pity, the person who knows the Metal Release technique is already..."

"About this..." Orochimaru's face suddenly showed a meaningful smile.

"Hey, Orochimaru, could it be that you..." Lin Yu stared intently at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's smile deepened: "Yes, I obtained a portion of the Second Kazekage Shamon's life essence through the black market. I wanted that kind of bloodline limit too! Unfortunately, even I failed in the end. The Gold Release technique is a bloodline that even my skills cannot replicate! So I gave up, and sealed away the remaining sample. Although there wasn't much, it was enough to activate one Impure World Reincarnation."

"Orochimaru, you are truly my lucky star..." Lin Yu said sincerely.

Chapter 168 Seizing the Golden Escape! (1/5)

Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation!

The giant serpent finished its spell, and dust swirled around the Rainbow sacrifice, transforming it into a burly man.

The man had a slightly chubby face, with only a small tuft of hair tied back. A blue dragon was tattooed on his shiny forehead, its body coiled up, and black claws covering his left eye socket, adding to his fierce and domineering appearance!

This is the second-generation Kazekage, Shamon!

Shamon sized up the two unfamiliar men before him and said in a low voice, "This is... the Second Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation technique. I couldn't escape this day after all. What time is this? Where is this place? And who are you?"

"Konoha year 48, Dark Country, Hidden Village," Lin Yu said.

"What?" Shramana's dark pupils flashed with surprise.

Orochimaru said, "It was the original Land of Waterfall, the Hidden Village of Waterfall... but it no longer exists. The man beside me rebuilt it. His name is Uchiha Yu, and he bears the title of Shadow."

"Uchiha...? And you said Shadow!? Self-proclaimed!" Shamon asked in surprise.

“No, the Sixth Kage, who has been recognized by the ninja world,” Orochimaru said.

"The ninja world is truly ever-changing..." Shamon sighed, then asked seriously, "How is that kid Sand Tou doing?"

"Who is Sha Dou?"

“The third Kazekage after me,” Shamon said.

"Oh...you mean this?"

Bang! Lin Yu released the Third Kazekage's puppet from the space-time continuum.

"This!?" Staring at the horrific state of the Third Kazekage on the ground, Shamon's eyes widened as he stared intently at Lin Yu: "You did this!?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "No, this was the work of Sasori Akazawa from your village. This puppet is just my spoils of war."

Shamen clearly didn't recognize Scorpion, so he asked instead, "Then who is the current Kazekage?"

“Luo Sha, the fourth generation of Feng Ying,” Lin Yu said.

"Oh, that little Magnet Release brat from back then is now the Kazekage. So you summoned me here for my Metal Release, right?" Shamon said.

"Since you're so smart, I won't waste my breath," Lin Yu said.

“Bring over all the sandstone you have!” Shamen said decisively.

Lin Yu gave Orochimaru a look.

Orochimaru took out a scroll, unfolded it, and placed his hand on the character 'stone' in the middle.

Thump! A soft, slightly black stone appeared on the scroll.

This is sandstone that Orochimaru collected from the Land of Earth in order to study the principles of Metal Release.

Glug! The sandstone rolled to the feet of the monk. The monk looked down at the small rock in front of him, which was no bigger than a palm. There was a look of suspicion in his eyes, but he still squatted down, formed a mudra with his hands, and placed his palms on the rock.

Metal Escape: The Golden Touch!

Sizzle! Bathed in golden light, that unremarkable stone transformed into a piece of gold right before our eyes!

The monk rose.

Whoosh! A small snake darted out from Orochimaru's sleeve, coiling around the gold nugget. He then took out a special device, put it on his glasses, and examined it, saying, "99.9% purity, top-grade gold..."

Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips beneath his mask.

“If there’s nothing else, you can dispel this Impure World Reincarnation…” Shamon said, without asking why the two of them went to such lengths to summon him, just to turn him into such a small piece of gold.

"Aren't you willing to stay and serve me?" Lin Yu asked at this moment.

“I am the Kazekage, and I cannot serve people from other villages. I used the Gold Release technique for you just now as payment for answering my questions. Now that the payment has been made, I no longer wish to stay here,” Shamon said without any room for negotiation.

"Then I'm sorry~" Lin Yu began to form a hand seal.

Ninja Art: Oni-Garra Technique!

hum! !

Suddenly… Shamen froze, his expression one of shock and disbelief: “You, what did you do to me!”

Lin Yu was slightly surprised: "Oh? Besides the Metal Release, you seem to have another unusual type of chakra within you!"

At this moment, Orochimaru said, "That should be Magnet Release~ Speaking of which, Shamon was the originator of sand manipulation ninjutsu, and he was also the earliest puppeteer after Monzaemon. However, the aura of Gold Release is too dazzling, causing people to overlook his other talents~ The color of Gold Release chakra is gold, Yu-kun, don't get it wrong~"

Lin Yu hooked two fingers together.

"Aaaaaah!!" Shamen cried out in pain.

call out!

A large ball of golden chakra flew out from Shamon's skull and landed in Lin Yu's hand.

"You, you took my Golden Escape... What kind of technique is this?!" Shamon exclaimed in horror.

Ignoring the monk, Lin Yu gazed at the dazzling golden light in his palm and said with burning eyes, "This brilliant color represents the bright future of Dark Hidden Village."

Lin Yu removed his mask, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the golden light!

Buzz! Golden light covered his entire body, then finally subsided.

Lin Yu felt that in addition to the seven attributes of Yin Yang, Thunder, Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind, he had gained an eighth attribute...

That symbolizes wealth and prosperity—the metal element!

"Orochimaru~" Lin Yu couldn't wait to try it out.

"Yes, Lord Yu!" Orochimaru found another piece of sandstone and placed it in front of Lin Yu.

Whoosh! Lin Yu formed the hand seal that the monk had just used and placed his palm on the stone.
