Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

The black lines of the Earth Grudge fell from mid-air, about to retract into Kakuzu's body, but one cluster of them, as if it had gained self-awareness, twisted its ends together like a sharp spear, and with a snap, pierced through Kakuzu's water-attribute heart!

"Ugh!" Kakuzu's eyes widened. "While he was entangled by my black threads, did he mark the part of his hand that he touched, and then aim his Sharingan at my heart? And, of course, it's water-attribute!!!"

Because his water-attribute heart was destroyed, Kakuzu's water barrier collapsed, and the aftershocks of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet struck Kakuzu.

"Aaaaaah!!" He let out a painful scream. Although it wasn't fatal, his skin was severely burned.

Crack! The instant Hiruzen landed, lightning covered his right hand, and he thrust forward at an astonishing speed.

After acquiring the Sharingan, Hiruzen even used Kakashi's Lightning Blade!

And what they were aiming for wasn't Kakuzu's second heart, but... his head!!

"You have five hearts, five lives... but only one head, right?"

Whoosh! Just as Kakuzu was about to be defeated, a gust of evil wind came from the side!

Too fast! Even though Hiruzen's Sharingan had detected it, his body couldn't dodge it!

Boom! A powerful punch slammed into his shoulder, turning half of Hiruzen's body into dust as he flew heavily away.

Princess Amamiya lowered her fist, revealing a huge shuriken embedded in her chest and on each of her shoulders.

Those were injuries caused by the shuriken that had successfully penetrated the barrier earlier.

Boom!

The goddess coldly pulled it out, and the white snake's regenerative power activated, healing the wound.

"..." Having escaped death, Kakuzu tore off the black thread of the Earth Grudge that had pierced his chest. The flames had burned away the markings on the black thread. He looked at the goddess in front of him and said, "Thank you."

In the distance, Hiruzen's body, amidst the dust, was repaired as he stood up.

Wow!

The flying fortress in the sky suddenly disintegrated, and the overwhelming giant shuriken, under the control of the eye power, were given extreme rotation!

Nadeshiko Saori clutched her bleeding wound and gazed at the sky: "At this scale... I'm afraid even my most beautiful and enchanting works won't be enough!"

In the nest.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and sneered, "Hmph, you know your place. In an instant, everyone would be minced meat. Uchiha Yu, now it's time for you to come out..."

Whoosh! At this moment, a figure flew out from Tianyu Pavilion and landed in front of everyone!

"Sorry I'm late," Xiyang said, forming a mudra with his hands in front of his chest.

—Void Escape: The Echo of Emptiness!

An extremely terrifying noise reverberated outwards!

Snap! In an instant, the doors and windows of Tianyu Pavilion shattered!

The great waterfall scatters into water droplets, creating countless ripples!

"Ugh!! My bones, internal organs, even my blood are shaking!!" Kakuzu, Shinki, and Nadeshiko Saori all showed expressions of pain!

Hiruzen was also unable to move, and he couldn't even gather chakra.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The out-of-control shuriken fell to the ground in droves, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, and vibrated continuously after landing!

The setting sun maintained its Void Escape Seal, its right eye shining brightly.

—Kamu Ami: The Prison of Heavy Water!

Whoosh! The water-style chakra ball turned pitch black in flight, exploded into a massive waterfall above Hiruzen, and then curled into a pitch-black water prison.

Kamu Ami - Ten Thousand Ravines Thunder Needle!

*Crack!* The lightning ball exploded, transforming into countless lightning needles that shot towards the water prison, creating a thousand ripples!

After the dust settled, Hiruzen, riddled with lightning rods, stood motionless, his impure body crackling with electric arcs.

The teleportation stopped here, and Xiyang said to the three people beside him, "I'm sorry, the situation was urgent just now, and I also affected you all..."

This is also the only drawback of the air escape technique, because its essence is to manipulate air phenomena, which will inevitably affect companions!

"Princess, please take Saori to treat her wounds. Kakuzu, your burns are also quite severe, go and treat them as soon as possible. Leave this to me!"

After everyone left, Xiyang stepped forward and looked at the old man she had once sincerely admired: "Lord Sandai."

Hiruzen said gratefully, "Yūhi, thank you for stopping me. I hate this Impure World Reincarnation technique to the core. Please seal me away quickly..."

The setting sun begins to form hand seals.

—Void Escape: Soundless Barrier!

Whoosh! A barrier appeared, blocking out all sounds from inside and outside!

"This barrier can prevent the caster from seeing through it..."

"Sunset, why is this?" the third generation asked in surprise.

“I will seal you away later. I have a question I would like to ask you,” Sunset asked.

In the nest.

"Hmph... That power, was it really Void Escape? But you probably didn't expect this, did you? Just now, the person who spoke to you through Hiruzen was me, so this barrier is useless~"

Inside the barrier.

Disguised as Hiruzen, Kabuto calmly asked, "What's the problem? And... with such a major upheaval in the Hidden Shadows Village, why is your husband nowhere to be seen?"

With her fists clenched tightly and her beautiful eyes dim, Xi Yang said, "To tell you the truth, my husband was afflicted with a kind of eye technique more than a month ago. His wounds won't heal, and he keeps bleeding!"

Hiruzen exclaimed in horror, "What did you say!? Could it be... the eye technique that took the life of the First Hokage back then! But with the Shadow's vitality, a month shouldn't be enough to make him lose his fighting ability!"

"Alas." The setting sun sighed deeply. "When it rains, it pours. A few days ago, a traitor appeared in the village and took my husband's eyes, which worsened his injuries... Dark Hidden Village is now at a critical juncture. So, I beg you to tell me, where is the caster of this Impure World Reincarnation technique, Yakushi Kabuto? Because the one who afflicted my husband with that eye technique was Yakushi Kabuto's accomplice!"

Inside a room at Tianyu Pavilion.

"Young man, did you also tell your wife what she said?"

"No, I didn't tell her at all!"

"So, it was that child who had a sudden inspiration! That's quite bold!"

"..." Lin Yu did not answer, his fists clenched, his heart pounding in his chest.

Chapter 352: Lure the snake out of its hole! (2/5)

In the dark lair.

Hearing the sunset's words, Kabuto's heart stirred, but being inherently suspicious, he remained vigilant: Was this woman's acting superb, or was she simply grasping at straws in desperation?

Kabuto decides to test the waters once more!

Within the Void Escape Barrier, he spoke in Hiruzen's name, "I understand, but could you remove these lightning rods that are sealing me? That way, I might be able to determine Kabuto Yakushi's current location through the connection between the Edo Tensei and the caster!"

"I understand!" The setting sun seemed to have no doubts and released Jia Muya!

Hiruzen closed his eyes, lightning gathering in his palm. When he opened them again, he thrust forward with a crack, piercing the heart of the setting sun!

In the nest.

Kabuto sneered, "So, women... really are naive creatures!"

Boom! Inside Tianyu Pavilion, Lin Yu stood up abruptly, clenching his fists tightly, blood seeping from between his fingers: "Hold on, hold on! We've come this far! We can't let Xiyang's efforts be in vain! My Yumu Tuo Flow can turn back time!"

"You are not the Third Hokage, you are Kabuto Yakushi!" Yuhi said with difficulty, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Hiruzen pulled his arm out, and the setting sun fell into a pool of blood.

“You got it right~ So what you just said can basically be taken as true, but…” Hiruzen’s mouth directly uttered Kabuto Yakushi’s original voice, and he even habitually pressed his hand to the bridge of his nose, even though his glasses weren’t there: “I know, Uchiha Yu, has a dojutsu that can turn back time, maybe he’s counting on this dojutsu… Don’t worry, I’ll wait!”

"That damned thing!" Lin Yu cursed angrily in Tianyu Pavilion.

"Young man, are you going out?" Hashirama stood up.

Lin Yu clenched his fists, trying to regulate his breathing: "I used the Ombudo Stream on Kasyapa that day. Kabuto must have seen it in secret, but he didn't know the limit of my Ombudo Stream's duration..."

"Why don't you let me go?" Hashirama said.

“Brother, any new combat force we introduce now will undo all the progress we’ve made before,” Tobirama said.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Yu had never felt such torment before.

Two minutes, three minutes, four minutes...

"That's enough..." Lin Yu loosened his clenched hands. He decided to abandon this plan to lure the enemy out and reconsider his strategy.

"Wait, who is that girl?!"

—Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!

Suddenly, a petite figure descended from the sky, four wooden strips extending from her sleeves. After forcing Hiruzen back, she landed in front of the setting sun, followed by Hinata and Sasuke.

Xiaoxue was cultivating with the two of them when she heard the strange noises in the village and rushed back. As soon as she arrived, she saw this heartbreaking scene.

"Mommy!!" Xiaoxue helped Xiyang up, calling out... but Xiyang had already stopped breathing!

The air seemed to freeze. Xiaoxue lowered her head, her purple hair moving without wind, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Then Hinata and Sasuke both saw that Yuki's three-tomoe eyes suddenly turned into a kaleidoscope pattern!

It's the same type of jade pendant as her father's, but one of the strokes is curved! A combination of a straight jade pendant and a curved jade pendant!

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!" she roared, her voice filled with murderous intent.

The white chakra blew Hinata and Sasuke, who were stunned, away, turning them into white skeletons.

Sasuke stared intently: "This is... the Mangekyou Sharingan, has she awakened it?!"

"Awoooooo!!!"

Xiaoxue stood up, the white skull with its muscles and meridians intertwined, clad in white robes, stepping into its second form!

"Awoooo ...

But the terrifying chakra continued to surge outwards until a suit of heavy white armor completely covered the body and bones of Susanoo, transforming it into Karasu Tengu Susanoo!

You probably can't imagine the scene of a six-year-old girl staring at you fiercely from inside a tengu Susanoo that is hundreds of times larger than her!

Even through the Impure World Reincarnation, Kabuto Yakushi felt a chill run down his spine: "So that's how it is. That mysterious girl who shone so brightly in the Konoha Chunin Exams was Uchiha Yu's daughter. What a freak... Oh well, I've already found the answer to the question I wanted to know. Time to leave."

Hiruzen picked up the scroll that sealed Onoki, put it into a coffin that rose from behind him, and disappeared!
