Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"Then I'm leaving. Wait for the evil god to come and save you..." Lin Yu turned to leave.

"Waaaaah, I was wrong... Quetzalcoatl is the greatest!" Hidan said, feeling wronged.

"Stay in my space for a while, and when Kakuzu comes back, I'll have him sew your head back on."

Whoosh! Lin Yu sucked Hidan's head and body into the space-time dimension together.

“Let’s go back…” Lin Yu looked at Xi Yan and smiled, “By the way, Xi Yan, I have a new friend. Let me introduce you to him…”

Chapter 180 A New Year, A New Look! (3/5)

Lin Yu used his divine power to lead the children back to the Great Waterfall of Dark Hidden Village.

"Lord Shadow, I'll head back to my room now." Itachi couldn't wait to see his younger brother.

"Okay, go ahead. Just get some rest these days. There are no missions for now," Lin Yu said with a smile.

Itachi ran towards Tianyu Pavilion, his back view showing great excitement.

"Brother-in-law, who is this friend you're talking about?" Xi Yan tilted her head.

"Come with me." Lin Yu led Xi Yan to the second floor of Tianyu Pavilion, knocked on the door and said, "Yu Muren, it's me."

"Onii-chan!"

Then came a series of light footsteps, the door opened, and Yukito, dressed in a cat costume, asked: "Did you come to play with me?"

"I brought a friend for you." Lin Yu gently pushed Xi Yan forward.

Yukito stared at Yugao, who was a head shorter than her, with her large eyes. Yugao was also staring at her.

After exchanging glances, we realized that we were both unfortunate children, and a sense of empathy arose between us!

"Hello, my name is Yukito Futau".

"My name is Uzuki Yugao."

"Ichishu Niasowo~ (Let's play together)" Yukito took Yugao's little hand and led her into her little nest.

Lin Yu smiled and gently closed the door, thinking: I hope that having a fellow sufferer by my side can ease some of the darkness in Xi Yan's heart...

Lin Yu returned to the top floor of Tianyu Pavilion, to his room with Xiyang.

"Xiyan is back?" Xiyang sat in a chair, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

"Yes, I took her to play with the wooden figures." Lin Yu took off his robe and hung it on the rack.

"Yes, a child should be a child. Constantly burying herself in cultivation is not the kind of childhood a child should have." Xi Yang no longer hopes that Xi Yan will become too strong; she only hopes that Xi Yan can be a normal child and live a peaceful life.

Lin Yu squatted down and pressed his ear against Xi Yang's belly: "I think I can hear our daughter kicking in her belly."

"Pfft!" Xi Yang couldn't help but chuckle. "It can't be that fast, you silly thing. You can't hear fetal movement until at least 18 weeks. You're only at this stage..."

"Lord Xiyang, it's time for your meal." The maid Fu Zixi Yao entered, carrying a sumptuous meal.

"Wait a moment." Lin Yu stood up, stepped forward, took out a silver needle, and probed the food.

This was something he had Orochimaru do specifically for him; it could detect poisons instantly.

"Alright, that's enough." Seeing that the food was as usual, Lin Yu nodded and then walked out of the room.

Xi Yao stepped forward and carefully fed Xi Yang.

Xi Yang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xi Yao. Ever since he found out I was pregnant, Yu has been extra cautious. He doesn't suspect you..."

Fu Zixi said understandingly, "Lord Xiyang, look at what you're saying. I'm genuinely happy for you that you've found a husband like Lord Anying who cares for you so much. In the past, I saw too much misfortune in the Fu Zi Kingdom's palace. Those men didn't come home at night when their wives were pregnant, and spent their days fooling around outside..."

The setting sun exclaimed in astonishment: "There really is such a person?"

Xi Yao said, "Yes, it's truly remarkable that someone of Lord Shadow's high status would be so considerate to his wife..."

A happy smile spread across Xiyao's face: "You should eat with us too, Xiyao."

"How can that be? This was specially prepared for you."

"But I can't possibly eat that much, wouldn't that be a waste?"

"You're eating for two now, so you should eat more for the sake of the baby in your belly."

"Uh...you're right!"

And so, the year quietly slipped away, and it became Konoha Year 49.

The Hidden Shadow Village did not hold its 'Ninja Annual Meeting' at the end of the year.

The reason is simple: Xiyang is pregnant, and Lin Yu doesn't want random people to come to the village, even if it means missing out on some good opportunities to promote the village.

That year, Lin Yu was 17 years old, Xi Yang was 19 years old, Xi Yan was 11 years old, You was 7 years old, and Yugito was 15 years old.

During this time, Lin Yu went to the Land of Lightning, kidnapped Tono Tensuke who was visiting his family, absorbed him directly with Kamui, and then left, all in less than a minute!

After returning to the village and asking around, Lin Yu learned that Tono Tensuke was indeed the developer of scientific ninja tools in later generations, and the father of Tono Hosuke.

The other person's background was not mentioned in the original work.

In fact, he was born in the Land of Thunder.

Tensuke was unappreciated in his early years, as no ninja was willing to recognize his talent. However, he was always passionate about research, but due to a lack of funding, he made no achievements.

His wife disliked him for being useless, so she left him, leaving behind their young son.

In his later years, Tensuke, along with his young son Fangzhu, wandered to the Land of Fire, where they remained unknown until their deaths. His son, Fangzhu, inherited his mind and knowledge.

He joined Konoha and became a ninja. Later, he was discovered and given important responsibilities by the village, which led to the groundbreaking invention of scientific ninja tools.

However, Lin Yu's transmigration changed some things. The Cloud Village, having lost its Jinchūriki, made good use of Tensuke, preventing him from being buried in obscurity.

However, due to Yunyin's foolishness, Lin Yu learned of Tianzhu's existence, and thus he was destined not to belong to Yunyin.

Lin Yu naturally extended an olive branch.

Faced with Lin Yu's offer of recruitment, Tianzhu seemed indifferent: "I am only interested in the research itself. Whoever provides me with funding, I will work for them. As for what they do with my results, that is not important."

Another mad scientist!

However, he and Orochimaru are in completely different fields.

Orochimaru's technology leans towards life sciences!

Tianzhu's technology leans towards natural science!

"How much funding do you need?" Lin Yu asked.

"What do you want to study?" Tianzhu asked in return.

“A machine that converts chakra into power!” Lin Yu said.

A look of surprise appeared on Tianzhu's square face, and he asked again, "Is it for combat use?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Prioritize productivity first. After productivity is increased, we can then consider its use in combat."

Tensuke then asked, "Was it the Dark Kingdom that commissioned you?"

Lin Yu said, "It was my own opinion, and has nothing to do with the Dark Kingdom's opinion."

Tensuke thought to himself: I thought this Shadow was just like that Raikage, a bunch of stupid battle maniacs, but I didn't expect him to come up with such a constructive idea...

"Approximately how much funding is needed?" Lin Yu asked.

Tianzhu thought for a moment and said, "Initial funding, let's say 50 billion taels..."

50 billion taels! The Dark Hidden Village simply can't come up with that amount right now!

Tianzhu said, "This amount of funding is actually nothing. The Cloud Village previously allocated me 80 billion taels of silver for their project..."

Yunyin is ultimately dependent on a powerful nation. Fortunately, Lin Yu is an enlightened person who knows how to plan ahead...

"Give me some time, and I'll raise the funds for you soon!" Lin Yu said.

If we estimate the time, it's about right...

Sure enough, a few days later, Lin Yu sensed the chakra that Kakuzu had infused into the Kamui dynamic mark...

call out!

Then, accompanied by the vortex of divine power, he arrived in the Land of Earth!

Chapter 181 Boss Jiao Talks Business! (4/5)

In the mountains of the Land of Earth, Lin Yu met Kakuzu, whom he hadn't seen for nearly two months: "Kakuzu, you've lost weight..."

Kakuzu, a 77-year-old man, has traversed almost every inch of the Land of Earth on foot, just to figure out the market price of 'sandstone'.

Kakuzu immediately got to the point: "Sandstone is mostly found deep within the desolate rock walls of the Land of Earth, making it extremely difficult to mine. Therefore, no quarrymen specifically go out of their way to mine sandstone. As a result, sandstone is usually unearthed incidentally when mining other precious minerals, hence its low price. However, even so, due to the low market demand, it is basically unsellable and is therefore stockpiled in large quantities, or even carelessly discarded..."

Lin Yu said, "If we just discard them at will, doesn't that mean we can simply find those discarded sandstones and claim them for ourselves?"

Kakuzu shook his head and said, "Sandstone is a mineral that oxidizes very easily. If it is exposed to air for a long time, it will change its properties and become like this."

As he spoke, he took out a sample stone and handed it to Lin Yu.

As expected, it was hard, completely different from the sandstone I had encountered before.

Lin Yu tried using the Gold Release: Golden Touch.

The final product... was black iron!

"Absolutely not!" Lin Yu threw away the black iron block in his hand.

Kakuzu said, "Therefore, we must go to the quarries where there are still sandstone reserves and buy them..."

"You've already done your investigation, haven't you?"

"Yes, there's one up ahead, but we haven't agreed on a price yet, and... most importantly, sandstone is a mineral with not much use. If we buy it in large quantities, it will definitely attract attention, so we need a reasonable excuse!"

"That's easy. I'll just use the Sharingan's genjutsu to manipulate the other person's consciousness and make them think it's reasonable!" Lin Yu said matter-of-factly.

"That would be good... but it's not conducive to long-term development."

"How to say?"

“What I’m pursuing is long-term benefits, forming a cyclical transaction chain. Once we buy from one company, we need to spread the word to other companies. That way, those quarries that have stockpiled sandstone will come to us, and business will keep coming to us. If you use your Sharingan, you can only do this one job. The potential profit difference is too big,” Kakuzu said logically.

"I see. You've got foresight. So, have you thought of a reason?"
