Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Kisame's pupils suddenly contracted!

Suigetsu Hozuki sensed something amiss behind him and swung his greatsword Samehada! Lin Yu blocked it with his fan.

With a clang, Lin Yu used the momentum to retreat.

"Kisame, well done! If it weren't for you, we would have been in real danger just now." Suigetsu Hobutaki said with lingering fear.

Click!

Without warning, Kisame Hoshigaki's sword had already slashed across Suigetsu Hozuki's throat!

"Kisame, you...!"

Thump! Suigetsu Hozuki knelt down, clutching his bleeding throat, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Kisame.

However, Kisame's eyes glazed over...

"So, it was a Sharingan genjutsu. Damn it, I'll die again and again, Konoha..." In endless resentment, Suigetsu Hozuki breathed his last.

Fate is so interesting. In the original work, Suigetsu Hozuki died at the hands of his capable subordinate Kisame Hoshigaki. In Lin Yu's case, he received the same treatment!

Ringo Ameyuri and Suigetsu Hozuki died one after another. The only survivor, Hozuki Mangetsu, was impaled on the ground by a lightning sword. The continuous lightning released from the sword completely paralyzed his semi-aquatic body, rendering him unable to move...

"Kisame, finish off Hozuki Mangetsu..." Lin Yu gave the command to Kisame within the illusion.

Kisame walked woodenly to Hozuki Mangetsu, raised his sword high, and then thrust it downwards.

Snap!

Blood...spurting everywhere!

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

Kisame Hoshigaki actually plunged his sword into his own thigh, his entire body drenched in cold sweat, and he was breathing heavily.

He actually used the intense pain to break free from Lin Yu's illusionary control!

Even Lin Yu had to sincerely admire him at this moment: "Kisame Hoshigaki, as expected of you..."

Kisame Hoshigaki sighed weakly, "Even I would not willingly be manipulated by genjutsu twice. However, it is an undeniable fact that I killed my superior. As a result, I have no face to see the Fourth Mizukage!"

As he spoke, he drew the Thunder Blade that had sealed Hozuki's Full Moon Movement.

Man Yue stood up and said solemnly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to see the Fourth Mizukage again, because his strength is even more terrifying than Lord Yagura's!"

Lin Yu remained noncommittal, stepped forward, used his foot to lift Samehada from the ground, held it in his hand, inhaled its power with his right eye, and then kicked the corpse of Suigetsu Hozuki aside.

Bear! Bear! Bear!

Azure chakra flames ignite, Susanoo is unleashed, and the second form is activated!

Lin Yu, clad in Susanoo, approached Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki with overwhelming force, and said authoritatively, "If you want me to spare your lives, you can do so if you can break this Susanoo!"

"It's a relief that you've given us a way out, but I can't laugh at all!" Kisame sighed sincerely in front of the fearsome Susanoo.

Hozuki Mangetsu did the same, unrolling the scroll.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Spiritual connection, longsword and sewing needle!

Spiritual communication, blunt knife, slashing!

Summoning, Exploding Blade, Flying Droplets

"Kisame, pick any one of these swords that suits your hand!" Hozuki Mangetsu said.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Kisame Hoshigaki said, his gaze sweeping over the three ninja swords.

The Longsword - Sewing Needle, shaped like a giant sewing needle with a strong steel wire attached to its end, possesses the strongest piercing power among the seven swords, capable of sewing pierced enemies back together...

Kisame weighed the sewing needle in his hand for a moment, then finally put it down, because the knife was too light and had no weight to wield.

The Blunt Blade Cuts: One end of the rope is connected to the blade, and the other end is connected to a hammer. The attack method is to first cut with the blade, and then hit the back of the blade with the hammer to add force. It is said to be able to break through any defense.

Kisame weighed it in his hand; the weight was just right. But he still put it down because this kind of attack, which resembled forging iron, was not what Kisame liked. He preferred to end the battle in the most direct and straightforward way!

Therefore, he chose the Explosive Blade: Droplets, a blade perfectly integrated with explosions. The moment it strikes an enemy, the explosive scrolls on it unleash a powerful explosive attack. The more forceful the swing, the more terrifying the explosion... possessing the most lethal destructive power!!

"To destroy that, you need the three most powerful ninja swords: the Exploding Blade, the Blunt Blade, and the Hiramekarei. You can't lose any of them!"

As Hozuki Mangetsu spoke, he formed a hand seal.

Boom! A shadow clone appeared beside him from within the white smoke.

"Are you alright with your current chakra?" Kisame asked.

"We can't worry about that now, this concerns the very survival of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!" Hozuki Mangetsu said.

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Come on, let me see the true destructive power of the Mist Ninja Sword!"

Hozuki Mangetsu, wielding twin swords Hiramekarei, circled behind Susanoo, transforming his arms into Water Arms, and simultaneously channeling his chakra without reservation, making the swords appear extremely exaggerated.

Hozuki Mangetsu's clone, wielding the blunt sword Kabuto-giri, charged straight at Susanoo. Activating his own Water Arm technique, he held the sword in one hand and a hammer in the other. Boom!! The sword swung down with full force, striking Susanoo. Boom!! Simultaneously, the hammer slammed down on the sword hilt…

Crack! A tear appeared on Susanoo's outer garment.

"Flounder - Liberation!!"

Almost simultaneously, Hozuki Mangetsu unleashed his full power, and Hiramekarei slammed heavily onto Susanoo's back...

Crack! Crack! Caught in a pincer attack, the crack directly in front of Susanoo widened further…

Boom!! Hozuki Mangetsu's shadow clone dissipates!

His main body, drenched in sweat, roared, "Kisame, now!!"

"Hah!!" Kisame Hoshigaki leaped high into the air, slashing down with his explosive sword, Hibiki, striking the crack in front of Susanoo.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

The violent explosion released from the explosive scroll of the blade engulfed the entire Susanoo!

"Ah!!!" Kisame and Hozuki Mangetsu were both blasted away a long distance.

"!" In the distance, Uzuki Yuhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands involuntarily clenched.

"As expected of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki, I, Uchiha Yu, acknowledge your strength and will call you the Two Demons of Kirigakure. Today, I will let you go. If you ever find no place to stay in Kirigakure, you can consider joining Akatsuki... no, come and report to my ninja village!"

Amidst the flames of the explosion, Lin Yu emerged unscathed and addressed the two Mist-Hidden Demons, who were covered in wounds, exhausted, and unable to even twitch a finger.

Chapter 20 will bear the name 'Shadow'!

Hearing that Lin Yu had kept his word, Hozuki Mangetsu and Hoshigaki Kisame breathed a sigh of relief. These two were able to adapt to the cruel environment of the Blood Mist Village and achieve their current status. They were ninjas who were not afraid of death, but that did not mean they were willing to give up their lives easily.

Lin Yu put away the Thunder Blade Fang on the ground, walked to Hozuki Mangetsu, took out the Executioner's Blade, and threw it in front of him, saying, "One for one, no objections, right?"

Hozuki Mangetsu gave a wry smile: "Even if you take all seven swords, what objection can I have?"

Lin Yu neither confirmed nor denied, but only asked, "You have a younger brother, right?"

Hozuki Mangetsu paused, then said, "Yes, his name is Suigetsu, and he's not even two years old..."

"When you come to report for duty in the future, take him with you." Lin Yu turned around and walked towards Kisame Hoshigaki on the other side.

Hozuki Mangetsu gazed at Lin Yu's retreating figure and said, "Are you so certain that I will lose my place in Kirigakure? The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are second only to the Mizukage in Kirigakure. Even though Kirigakure is known as the Village of Blood Mist, it cannot do without our strength."

Lin Yu did not answer Hozuki Mangetsu's question, but went to Kisame Hoshigaki. At this moment, Kisame's arms were torn open by the force of the explosion, and the bones were even visible...

This shows just how powerful his final strike was!

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yu made a decision.

He took out the Greatsword Samehada and placed it in front of Kisame Hoshigaki. Then he picked up the Exploding Blade Hibiki and said, "Kisame Hoshigaki, from today onwards, you are the new master of the Greatsword Samehada. I will keep this Exploding Blade Hibiki safe."

Kisame said in surprise, "Wait a minute, while the destructive power of the spray is formidable, in terms of characteristics, Samehada is the strongest among the Seven Ninja Swords. You didn't know that, did you?"

After witnessing Lin Yu's immense power, Kisame always addressed him with a respectful title.

How could Lin Yu not know how powerful Samehada was? Samehada could even devour the chakra of tailed beasts. If it were fused with Samehada, it would not only enhance his senses but also grant him near-immortal regenerative abilities!

However, Lin Yu would never choose to fuse with Samehada for such a small gain, never... because the fused form would be too ugly!

Lin Yu didn't want to become a half-human, half-fish creature like the 'Fish-Man' from One Piece!

Lin Yu only wanted to fuse with the Ten-Tailed Fox.

So, after much deliberation, I've decided that Samehada should go to the right person.

In the original work, Kisame Hoshigaki, in order to uphold his beliefs, refused to betray his comrades until his death. After being captured, in order not to leak information, he did not hesitate to bite off his tongue to break free from control and summon a shark to eat himself. In the end, he also faithfully completed the mission given to him by Obito!

Whether it's Obito, Lin Yu, or Kisame Hoshigaki, they are all ninjas worthy of their admiration and trust!

Lin Yu said sincerely, "A good ninja sword should be in the hands of a ninja worthy of it. Kisame Hoshigaki, I value you more than the Samehada itself..."

Kisame did not appear flattered. Instead, he said, "Although I don't know why you value me so much, I would like to thank you in advance. Also, I have no intention of betraying Kirigakure. I hope you understand that."

Lin Yu said, "The choice is in your hands. I am just giving you a platform. If one day you find that your companions and even your own existence are fake, and you can't even tell who you are, then you will have two paths in front of you. If your heart still yearns for darkness, then go to Amegakure and find an organization called 'Akatsuki'. If you still yearn for light, then come to... 'Anegakure'."

Just now, Lin Yu named his future ninja village "Dark Hidden Village," and he, Lin Yu, will bear the name of 'Shadow'.

Kisame laughed and said, "The name 'Akatsuki' symbolizes darkness, while the name 'An' implies light... Forgive my bluntness, but the names you've chosen are rather inexplicable."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "The appearance and essence of things are exactly opposite. Isn't this just like this absurd yet real ninja world?"

Kisame said, "I can't see that step yet. Perhaps, as you said, I will face a choice someday. But at this moment, I still yearn for the light. You said that to join Akatsuki, you have to go to Amegakure. So, how do I join Yamiku?

Lin Yu said, "'It' doesn't exist yet, but it will soon. When it does, its name will surely spread throughout the ninja world, and the way to it will not be difficult to find. I'm just afraid... by then, your heart will yearn for darkness."

"Hahahaha... I hope your prediction won't come true," Kisame said respectfully.

With that, Lin Yu turned and left.

As he passed by the corpse of Ringo Ameyuri, he took a second look. Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to see her, because in his knowledge, Raito Kiba was still in the hands of its first owner, Kurosuki Raito.

He was one of the three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who survived Might Guy's clutches and lived until Naruto's time, but upon closer inspection, that was just an original story created by the animation team.

"It seems... the original storylines created by the animation team are not recognized in this Naruto world. The evidence is that the Raikiri Raiga is not in Kurosuki Raiga's hands, but was inherited by Ringo Ameyuri."

On another note, Ringo Ameyuri is a very distinctive female ninja. She is beautiful and young, but Lin Yu did not show any mercy because of this. Instead, he seized the opportunity to kill her in an instant, which shows that he is not someone who is lustful at first sight.

The reason why Maoyue Xiyang was kept in the first place was probably because her name and the meaning it carried slightly touched Lin Yu's increasingly cold heart.

"Sunset, this is for you." Lin Yu took out the Thunder Blade Fang as he approached Uzuki Sunset.
