Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Lin Yu said, "I'm fine. I suffered some injuries, but nothing serious..."

Xi Yang said, "This isn't her fault. Don't make things difficult for her. Over the past six months, we've been so grateful for her meticulous care..."

Lin Yu said, "Don't worry, I can tell right from wrong..."

"By the way, let's give our daughter a name," said Xiyang.

Lin Yu turned to look at the continuous rain outside the window, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and said, "How about calling it 'Rain'?"

Uchiha Ame.

With a tender look in her eyes, Xi Yang said, "The rain is beautiful, but too melancholic. It makes one think of many bad things. I don't want this child to be tainted by the darkness of the ninja world in the future. I hope she will always remain true to herself and grow up healthy..."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then... let's call it Snow."

Yugao's beautiful eyes sparkled: "Uchiha... Yuki? Okay, but girls named Yuki are usually very aloof, making it hard for boys to approach them!"

Lin Yu said, "What's wrong with being aloof?"

"Alright, let's name her Xue (Snow)... I hope her heart will always be as pure and clear as snow..." Xi Yang murmured, a tear sliding down her cheek. "And Yu, I hope you won't blame that child, she's still so young..."

The setting sun closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Lin Yu tiptoed out of the ward and said to Jingyin, "Miss Jingyin, I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of them, mother and daughter. I don't trust anyone else to do it for me."

Jingyin nodded and went into the ward.

Lin Yu's gaze turned cold.

In another ward, he met Xi Yao, who kept apologizing and blaming herself, but Lin Yu didn't blame her. He simply said, "Xi Yao, I want to see your memories from that time and figure out what exactly happened!"

"Please feel free to look!" Xi Yao said.

"Look into my eyes!" Lin Yu's eyes turned into three-tomoe jade.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

The scene of the two falling down the stairs replayed in Lin Yu's mind again and again!

That was the scene I saw through Xi Yao's eyes at that moment!

A black cat leaps up and down, leaps up and down... The scene freezes!

The black cat's left eye has a Sharingan pattern!

"Yu, don't blame that child!" The words from before the sunset rang out.

Lin Yu clenched his fist; he understood...

Creak! He returned to Tianyu Pavilion and pushed open the door to Xiyan's room.

Xi Yan was sitting on the small bed, holding a black cat in her arms. She did not show any surprise at Lin Yu's arrival.

But Lin Yu did not confront her as she had expected.

After closing the door, Lin Yu walked to the window, looked at the oppressive rain outside, and said in a strange tone, "You have a little niece now, aren't you going to go see her, Xi Yan?"

Xi Yan's eyes remained lowered.

Lin Yu's gaze, hidden behind his mask, darkened slightly: "Also, your sister... can never get pregnant again."

Xi Yan's eyes suddenly trembled.

Whoosh!

The black cat, its fur standing on end, darted out of her arms as if startled, trying to bury its head behind the cabinet...

"You must be wondering why falling down the stairs would cause this to happen." Lin Yu's eyes suppressed their light, and his voice was lowered by three points: "Normally, this wouldn't happen, but when your sister fell down the stairs, she used her chakra to protect the child, and the child was unharmed."

"But the price is irreversible damage to her body; she will never be able to conceive again. This will be my and Xiyang's only child, and I will cherish her like the apple of my eye..."

Xi Yan clenched her knees.

Lin Yu turned his head, his eyes now a kaleidoscope of colors.

Boom! Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window.

"Meow!! Meow!!!" The black cat in the corner meowed eerily, and finally, lying belly up with white foam at its mouth, it was scared to death!

"Therefore, I have sworn a solemn oath in my heart that from now on, no matter if anyone dares to harm a single hair on this child's head, whether that person is my brother, my friend, my family, or my disciple, I will never let him go. Xiyan, do you understand?"

"I will act as if nothing happened and continue to teach you and love you as usual... If you have any resentment or dissatisfaction, come at me! I will take it all! But, never, ever again, try to take advantage of that child, Xiyan, remember my words!"

Lin Yu disappeared from the room.

The windows swayed in the wind and rain...

Xiyan lowered her head deeply.

That's what Lin Yu said, and that's what he did afterward...

Time flies, five years have passed quietly, Konoha 54 years, seven years in hiding...

Chapter 186 Five Years Later! (4/5)

The Land of Darkness, Hidden Village, Shadow Office.

Lin Yu was wearing a half-face mask that covered his nose but left his mouth exposed. He was smoking a long cigar, and the ashtray on the table was piled high with cigarette butts.

Nadeshiko Saori opened the window to let in fresh air: "Lord Shadow, your smoking habit is acting up again..."

Yes, Lin Yu developed a smoking habit after a rainy night five years ago.

Five years later, he had become a heavy smoker, especially in the office, where he was almost always smoking.

"There's no way around it. I have a wife and kids at home, and people would look down on me for smoking."

Lin Yu stubbed out his cigarette and pressed down on the protrusion on the edge of his mask.

Click! The lower edge of the mask pops out, covering the mouth.

Saori, peeking at Lin Yu's profile from behind, had a lovesick look on her face: Ahh~ Lord Yu looks so manly when he smokes.

When Lin Yu turned his head to look at her, Saori's infatuated look instantly transformed into that of a saint.

"Saori, do you have any major schedules planned recently?" Lin Yu asked.

"Ahem!" Saori Nadeshiko cleared her throat, opened her schedule, and said demurely, "The birthday of the Hokage's son, and the Ninja Academy entrance ceremony..."

Oh? In the blink of an eye, that brat Naruto is going to turn 6 soon.

Lin Yu turned his chair around and looked out the window.

The last time I saw Naruto was on his third birthday.

The Minato couple were quite bold; they even secretly brought their three-year-old son to the Hidden Village.

Kushina, after hearing the details of Naruto's birth night from Minato, actually wanted to thank him personally, which really surprised him...

Lin Yu remembered that he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol at the time, and when Kushina took Naruto to the toilet, he took off his mask in front of Minato.

Fortunately, Minato was even less able to hold his liquor and got so drunk that he couldn't even recognize his own face!

"We'll have to be well prepared then..." Lin Yu changed the subject, "How's the Flowing Wind Squad's mission going?"

Saori said, "They performed exceptionally well, and the Daimyo Prefecture would like to continue borrowing them for a while longer."

Lin Yu said, "Alright... this big name really knows how to order people around."

Yamashiro Ryuuka, along with Mir and Mirojin, successfully advanced to Chunin within the three-year time limit given by Lin Yu, receiving his personal guidance, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds afterward.

In less than a year, they were promoted to Jonin.

These three are the first batch of Jonin trained through independent education since the founding of Ankugakure!

Afterwards, batches of ninjas rose up, and now the Hidden Shadow Village has 47 Jonin!

Besides, the first batch of children from the Hidden Shadow Village have all become Chunin, a promotion rate that would put even the Five Great Ninja Villages to shame.

This is all thanks to the dragon vein!

It was the nourishment from the dragon vein's chakra that ensured the children didn't lose at the starting line.

With such remarkable achievements, the Dark Kingdom sends a large number of fresh blood over every year!

Today, Ankugakure has more than 3000 official ninjas, and if you include the reserve ninjas studying at the Ninja Academy, the total number exceeds 10,000!

With the village population increasing, the original land could no longer accommodate everyone.

Four years ago, Kakuzu, the village's financial manager, made a grand gesture and bought up all the land within a ten-kilometer radius outside the Hidden Village. Lin Yu used Wood Release to complete the expansion overnight!

After all these years of development... this newly expanded land is almost too small to accommodate everyone!

They are preparing for a second expansion!

Lin Yu gazed at the nine-story towering in the southwest of Dark Hidden Village: "Once Orochimaru returns, the Dragon Suppression Tower should be ready for development..."

Yes, Orochimaru has been away for five years now, and during these five years, rumors about him have been heard from time to time.

A legendary tomb raider frequented hidden cemeteries around the world, uncovering the tombs of numerous legendary ninjas, including the First Kage…

Despite the elaborate traps laid by various ninja villages, none of them managed to capture him.

So far, his footprints have appeared in the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, the Land of Thunder... only the Land of Water and the Land of Fire have not yet appeared.

People are speculating that his next destination will be the Land of Fire.

Lin Yu knew that Orochimaru would not visit the Land of Fire... because he had already obtained the cells of the First Hokage and they were already inside him.

So, the only thing left to get is the First Mizukage's cells, Orochimaru? I hope everything goes well for you there, and you return to the village soon...

Saori gazed at Lin Yu, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but look dazed again: Ahh~ Master Yu has been gazing at the sky like this a lot lately, he's so handsome, I can't take it anymore...

"Lord Shadow, I need to use the restroom," Saori said.

“Go ahead…” Lin Yu nodded, thinking to himself: Saori has been going to the restroom quite frequently lately. Is something wrong, but she's too embarrassed to go to the hospital? After all, everyone there is from her hometown. I should remind her not to work so hard and ruin her health…

About two years ago, the Nadeshiko Kingdom heard that the Hidden Shadow Village was facing a shortage of medical ninjas, so they sent a large number of female ninjas with medical ninjutsu talent to train them personally. A year later, they started working one after another.

Today, the Hidden Village's medical standards are second only to Konoha among the six hidden villages.

In the restroom, Saori lifted up her skirt...

Half an hour later, Saori returned to the office and saw Lin Yu putting in eye drops.

After finishing the drip, Lin Yu screwed on the cap, blinked hard a few times, and his blurry vision cleared. He saw Saori and asked, "Why are you back so late? Were you constipated?"
