Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"What did you say?! Where is that rebellious son?! I want to kill him with my own hands!" Hashirama instantly flew into a rage.

Behind the Hidden Village.

Orochimaru wrote out the incantation for the Impure World Reincarnation technique and activated the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode!

Immortal Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!

The female sacrifice let out a scream, and dust clung to her, transforming into the peerless beauty of Mito Uzumaki!

Mito opened her closed eyelids, her gaze calm yet cold: "Orochimaru, didn't I say that if there is no great chaos in the world, do not disturb my peace in the underworld!"

Orochimaru respectfully said, "Lord Mito, the world is now in great chaos!"

"Hmm?" Mito frowned slightly.

"Your son Kasyapa has broken free of the Nine Palaces Seal and attacked Kushina Uzumaki, who recently gave birth to her second child. The Nine-Tails was stolen, Kushina is dead, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was struck by the same eye technique as your husband and is now on the verge of death!"

"!" Mito's hands, clenched in front of her, tightened. "Things have come to this! Where is that boy named Uchiha Yu?"

Orochimaru said, "He is on his way to invite two important figures; he should be back soon."

“A big shot…” Mito’s eyelids drooped.

call out!

The vortex stirred up spacetime, and Lin Yu returned with the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers!

"Shui Mei!!!"

"Sister-in-law!!!"

Upon seeing Mito, both Hashirama and Tobirama exclaimed in surprise.

"Daizhu, Xiaofei!!" Mito was also surprised, never expecting that the so-called important figures were actually her husband and brother-in-law: "When did you two...?"

Hashirama said, "We were summoned back by the boy half a year ago! Water Girl, you still look the same as before, did you also die young!"

Mito replied, "Of course not, I died of old age!"

Orochimaru said at the opportune moment, "The Impure World Reincarnation I gave to Lady Mito was specially prepared—it will preserve her youthful appearance..."

Mito nodded. No woman doesn't love beauty, especially when her husband, who died young, comes back. If he sees her looking old, she'll definitely feel uncomfortable!

Orochimaru's thoughtfulness pleased Mito greatly.

Mito gazed at her hands and murmured, "And this time, my power is even closer to what it was in life than before. Orochimaru, it seems your power has grown again..."

"Mito-senpai, it's been a long time." At this moment, Lin Yu stepped forward.

Mito scrutinized Lin Yu, her eyes narrowing slightly: "It seems the one who has changed the most is you. Just looking into your eyes, I can tell how time has flown by..."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "You flatter me."

Mito said solemnly, "I have heard about Kasyapa's matter. Back then, I only sealed him away and couldn't bear to kill him. I never expected that it would cause such a disaster for future generations. This is my responsibility. You summoned me because you want me to help you get rid of that rebellious son? If so... I will not hesitate to do so!"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "No, Kasyapa is still your son. It would be inappropriate for you to do it yourself. So, let me handle Kasyapa. I have another reason for asking Mito-senpai to come back to this world."

Mito nodded, her appreciation for Lin Yu growing even stronger: "Speak, as long as it's within my power, I will grant your request!"

Lin Yu said, "The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, has been struck by the same eye technique that Hashirama used back then, and he is in critical condition. I have gathered everyone here to try to find a way to break that eye technique!"

"..." Mito's brows furrowed, clearly indicating that it was by no means an easy task.

Hashirama said, "When I was struck by this, Mito and Tobirama tried every possible method, from physical to spiritual, but nothing worked..."

"Actually, theoretically, there is already a way to undo that eye technique..." Tobirama said something surprising.

"What?! You already have it?!" Hashirama exclaimed in astonishment.

“Ah, after you died, to prevent Kasyapa from causing trouble again, I never stopped researching that eye technique. About three years later, I finally made some progress, but unfortunately the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out, and those results could not be perfected…” Tobirama said.

“In any case, let’s see for ourselves first!” Mito said.

Tuoflow time zone.

In the vast expanse of white, there was a splash of blood.

Minato Namikaze lay quietly in a pool of blood, in a dormant state.

Kushina's body was in an ice coffin not far away.

This ice coffin has a preservative effect; Orochimaru brought it back from the tomb of the First Mizukage.

To preserve Kushina's dignity, Lin Yu called back Yuhi, who was helping out in Konoha, and asked her to take care of Kushina's postpartum body and change her into a clean set of clothes.

The sunset was heavy with sorrow, for she could never have imagined that in just half a day, the four generations of the couple would both meet with misfortune, and Kushina was now separated from them by death...

Whoosh! A white vortex appeared, and Lin Yu arrived here with Orochimaru, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Mito.

Mito stepped forward, glancing at Yuhi standing nearby out of the corner of her eye, then stopped in front of the coffin. Gazing at Kushina's remains, she said with heartache, "My child, I'm so sorry for making you suffer like this! If I had been there, I would have given you my soul to help you escape this calamity! But alas... I promise you, I will do everything in my power to save your husband!"

Chapter 295 Truth, the Ultimate Sublimation!

"This is the fourth generation? He looks so frail..." Tobirama crossed his arms and stared at Minato lying in a pool of blood.

"Hmm, as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. This kid might have some extraordinary talent. Look, even with blood flowing like a river, he's still persevering. He's almost as good as I was back then!" Hashirama pinched his chin and squatted down to observe.

“He doesn’t have his elder brother’s vitality. At this rate of bleeding, he’ll die in less than three days. Even if time here flows ten times slower than outside, it will only be a month, which is barely enough. I think it would be better to prepare for his passing and choose the next Hokage as soon as possible!” Tobirama said.

"Tobirama, you're here again! The Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself for Konoha, which is why he's in this state. How can you say such heartless things! No matter what, we must do everything we can to save him!" Hashirama said.

"Alright, alright, I understand. I was just saying it casually. Why take it so seriously, brother? Besides... there probably aren't any ninjas in the village these days who are capable of becoming Hokage!" Tobirama said.

Go back outside.

The group arrived at the meeting room in Dark Hidden Village.

Lin Yu said seriously, "Second Generation, please tell me about the method you mentioned before that could theoretically remove the curse of Bo Er Ye Xu."

With his arms crossed and an air of aloofness, Tobirama said, "The body and the soul originally existed independently. The body, as the vessel of the soul, is of lower priority than the soul. The evidence is that damage to the body will not affect the soul, while damage to the soul will definitely affect the body."

"The principle behind the eye technique of Polyesu is to do the opposite of what is expected, so that the damage to the body can affect the soul. Moreover, it is not an injury that can be healed in the ordinary sense, but rather a missing part of the soul corresponding to the wound, making the soul incomplete. Of course, the wound cannot heal, and the blood will continue to flow. This is the essence of the eye technique of Polyesu!"

So that's how it is... Polyesu isn't a pupil technique that makes wounds bleed incessantly, but rather a technique that damages the body to make the soul incomplete! That makes it even more terrifying!

Lin Yu frowned: He had thought that Bo Er Yexu would be useless against the impure earth body without blood, but now it seems that not only is it not useless, it is also a great restraint...

At this moment, Tobirama continued, "In other words, the key to whether we can break through the barrier of Poryasu lies in whether we can find the missing part of the soul... This is the result of my research so far. I have found the right direction to work towards. Unfortunately, I was unable to continue my research before I died."

At this moment, Mito said thoughtfully, "Looking at it this way, it's quite similar to the Reaper Death Seal of our Uzumaki clan. The Reaper Death Seal can choose to seal the entire soul of the opponent, or separate a part of the soul from the whole and seal it separately. The container for sealing the soul is inside the belly of a deity called 'Shinigami'. Although the price for breaking the Reaper Death Seal is high, it is not impossible..."

Tobirama said with a deep gaze, "Yes, the problem is, where did the soul that was damaged by Boruya go, and how can it be retrieved?"

"If that part of the soul disappeared from the realm of existence, then this eye technique would probably be unsolvable. However, judging from historical experience, that's impossible! It's just a kaleidoscope eye technique at best; it's absolutely impossible for a soul to just disappear into thin air like that!"

"It must be something like the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, and it's been moved somewhere! Whether we can solve this mystery depends on whether this eye technique can be broken!"

"If that's the case, I have an idea that might be worth a try..." Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out at that moment.

"Oh?" Everyone turned to look at him at the same time.

Orochimaru recalled, "More than half a year ago, I was trapped in the tomb of the First Mizukage and corrupted by his Plague Release technique. Without a doubt, my body died at that time, but my soul traveled for seven days and seven nights in a place called the Land of the Dead before finally returning to my body!"

Tobirama was suddenly taken aback: "You mean the Land of the Dead!?"

Hashirama asked curiously, "What place is that?"

Tobirama said, "After death, the soul usually goes directly to the Pure Land of Bliss! But in rare cases, a soul with lingering attachments will wander in the Land of the Dead, between the mortal world and the Pure Land, for seven days and seven nights before finally reaching the Pure Land. But I have never heard of a soul returning to its body after seven days and seven nights! Perhaps at the critical moment of life and death, some unknown state was triggered, belonging to an unknown realm... Orochimaru, you are indeed remarkable!"

Orochimaru murmured, "I don't know either, but perhaps it's because I'm unwilling to leave this world like this, or perhaps... it's because the power of the white snake within me struggled back from the brink of death, creating the conditions for my soul to return to my body."

"In short, I returned to the mortal world with the memories of the Kingdom of the Underworld. If possible... I really want to stay longer! Because I have touched the essence of the soul, and I am only a little short of completely understanding it! At that time, the question of where the soul that was damaged by Boruyasu went and how to retrieve it will be answered!"

Lin Yu asked, "Orochimaru... what is your plan?"

Orochimaru made a startling statement: "I want to... go to the Land of the Dead again! As long as I face the same life-or-death situation as before, I'm sure I can get there!"

Lin Yu, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Mito were all stunned. Orochimaru... what he meant by that was to die!

The Second Hokage voiced everyone's concerns: "Orochimaru, I don't believe the same miracle will happen to you twice... What if your soul doesn't return?"

Orochimaru, however, said without hesitation, "Even so, if I can get close to that sweet truth once again, I will die without regret. If I really can't come back, Lord Tobirama, please use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon me back, so that I can tell you the truth!"

"Orochimaru, are you really going to do this?" Lin Yu looked at Orochimaru with a complicated expression.

"Yu-kun, is your expression one of sadness for me?" Orochimaru smiled and said, "Yu-kun, this is my own choice, not only for Minato and you, but also for the truth I pursue!"

Lin Yu said, moved, "Orochimaru... don't assume you can't come back! Why can't a miracle happen twice? Because your very existence is a miracle! No matter how many times, I believe a miracle will happen to you!"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then I'll take your good wishes, Yu-kun!"

He entered the immortal mode of Ryūchi Cave!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The four celestial snakes surrounding him, baring their fangs, bit down on his own neck...

Orochimaru formed a cruel hand seal.

—Immortal Technique: Four Snakes Kill Together!

Chapter 296 Action Taker! (1/5)

The Four Snakes Killing Technique was a new technique invented by Orochimaru. It used four celestial snakes to inject adrenaline, exceeding the human body's tolerance limit, into the carotid artery in an instant, causing the blood vessels to rupture and the body's organs to fail, leading to death.

If used on oneself, it would be tantamount to suicide!

Thump! Orochimaru fell straight to the ground, showing no signs of life!

Whether it was Lin Yu, Hashirama, Tobirama, or Mito, they all looked solemnly at Orochimaru.

Tobirama: He's truly remarkable. To go to such lengths in pursuit of the ultimate truth... Even I don't have that kind of awareness. If his soul could return, he might surpass me in the field of forbidden technique research!

The key to breaking through Boruto's defenses now rests entirely on Orochimaru. For the next seven days and seven nights, everyone could only wait helplessly.

Hashirama and Tobirama told Mito everything that had happened after their encounter with Lin Yu.

Upon hearing this, Mito sighed inwardly: That child was able to fight almost to a draw with Dazhu, and only lost after Dazhu used the Myojin Gate. In that case, I'm afraid he could also break free of my Vajra Lock with ten chains!

Then, Hashirama and Tobirama told Mito everything about Madara's plans, the Divine Tree, the Ten-Tails, Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the Otsutsuki clan.

Even for Mito, who had seen the world, the impact of this series of events was enormous!

After a long silence, Mito sighed, "So that's why you two brothers were willing to stay... I thought it was just because of Kasyapa, but it seems I underestimated that child's vision."
