Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"No matter what, you can't just throw it away like trash. This is pure gold." Kakuzu blew the dust off the gold nugget and put it back in its place.

Hashirama exclaimed in awe, "So much gold... enough to buy a great nation!"

Tobirama's voice was deep and resonant: "A great nation, far more than that..."

Kakuzu said, "The history of gold mining is 3000 years old. Since people realized the value of gold, mining and plundering have never stopped. To date, the total gold production in the ninja world is 36 tons... and in this underground vault, there are 40 tons of gold stored!"

"40 tons!?" Hashirama's jaw almost dropped to the ground: "Then, that means... the gold you created using the Gold Release technique is more than the gold in the entire world!"

“Ah, but if we include the undiscovered gold, it’s probably about the same…” Kakuzu said.

"So, how much is all this gold worth?" Hashirama asked impatiently.

角都给众人算了一笔账：“金价每克400两，1吨=100万克，40万吨=4000亿克，那么……这些黄金的总价值，就是4000亿克x400两/克=160万亿两！”

"1,160 trillion... two!?" Hashirama was almost petrified.

Yes, Lin Yu spent 100 billion to buy Granny Chiyo's forbidden technique 'Self-Reincarnation' and 50 billion to aid Konoha without even blinking, because that wealth was less than one ten-thousandth of his own!

Hashirama wiped his sweat: "Then, then you need, you need so much money... what do you want to do with it?"

Lin Yu held a heavy gold brick in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a strange light: "I want to establish a 'Ninja Kingdom'!"

"Ninja...country?" Hashirama's eyes widened.

The world has hundreds of millions of people, but there are only a few hundred thousand ninjas... It is already quite difficult to establish a village, let alone a country!

Hashirama would never have dared to even imagine such a thing before!

Lin Yu clenched his fist, leaving a dent in the gold brick: "That's right, not a village, but a country... a country that values ​​ninjas! In my ninja country, ninjas have a status far higher than that of commoners! And the stronger a ninja is, the greater their contribution, the more transcendent their status!"

The Second Hokage, Tobirama, showed great interest: "So, what are the standards for measuring strength and contribution?"

Lin Yu said, "In the past, the strength level of ninjas was often determined by the classification of Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Elite Jonin, and Kage, based on their contributions and the number of missions they had carried out. However, those standards are gradually becoming outdated. I want to establish a new evaluation system. Not only will I redefine the ninja ranks to make them more precise and valuable, but I will also establish a ninja evaluation agency to quantify contributions and assign them to individuals. In short, no talent will be overlooked..."

Lin Yu put the gold brick back in its place: "Power can quell chaos, but to create a golden age, wealth is needed..."

As long as the vast majority of people in the world need to eat and have basic survival supplies, they cannot do without production, and the measure of productivity is wealth.

Having more wealth means having greater productivity...

Tobirama asked, "When do you plan to start establishing your ninja nation?"

Lin Yu pondered, "Well... I'm still considering it. After all, breaking the existing order will inevitably bring a storm. Let's wait for the right opportunity. We have to take things one step at a time. Before establishing a ninja nation, we must first complete the next expansion of the Hidden Shadow Village."

The Hidden Village submitted an application to the Daimyo of the Land of Darkness to purchase land.

They purchased 100 square kilometers of land outside of the Dark Hidden Village's own forest.

At present, Dark Hidden Village covers an area of ​​50 square kilometers. If the expansion is completed, the area will be three times the original size.

Waiting for the Daimyo Prefecture's reply would take some time, so Lin Yu arrived at the original location of the Hidden Cloud Village, accompanied by 'Darui' who was familiar with the area.

Darui was recruited by Lin Yu after looting Hanabi. At that time, Darui cut off his left arm to show that he had broken ties with Kumogakure, which made Lin Yu take notice and respect him as a hero.

Seeing the devastation of his homeland, Darui sighed with sorrow. He stood on the ruins for a long time, lost in thought. Lin Yu did not disturb him, but sat on a large rock and started smoking.

“Lord Shadow, I’m ready.” Darui walked over.

Lin Yu threw away his cigarette butt: "Take me to Hell Valley..."

Hell Valley, the sacred training ground for successive Raikage, possesses a harsh environment, making it ideal for physical training...

This is also why Lin Yu was interested in the land of Yunyin Village.

Amidst the ruins, they arrived at the crumbling remains of a building, where white stone pillars lay fallen. Darui said, "The entrance to Hell Valley is beneath the palace..."

Lin Yu formed a hand seal.

Wind Release: Tornado!

boom!

The white tornado swept up rubble and debris, landing them in an inconspicuous spot. In the cleared area, there was a square stone with a sealing spell on it.

This is similar to the underground shrine where the Uchiha stone tablet is located.

Darui said, "This stone is sealed with a double iron armor seal. No one but the Raikage can break it, not even me..."

It was easy; Lin Yu focused his left eye on the stone slab.

Kamui!

Crack! The stone slab was forcibly destroyed, revealing a staircase leading underground.

Lin Yu stepped down the steps, and Darui shook his head with a sigh and followed him down.

"Since it's a valley, it should be open-air, so why is it underground?" Lin Yu couldn't understand.

“Hell Valley is an alternate dimension. Ahead is the gate that connects the two dimensions…” Darui said.

"Another dimension, so that's how it is. I always felt that the clouds held many secrets. Not to mention the five Six Paths Ninja Tools, not to mention the Waterfall of Truth on Paradise Island, it's also connected to an other dimension called Hell Valley. It was definitely the right decision to come here..."

Lin Yu stopped and pushed open the door.

Chapter 367: Heaven’s Imperial Palace!

After entering, the light and shadow shifted, and Lin Yu and Darui arrived at a desolate valley. The valley was not large, and the surrounding mountains could be seen at a glance.

The clouds covering the sky were so thick that no light could penetrate, making it dark and gloomy, like being in hell. This must be the origin of the name Hell Valley.

"Is that all?" If this is Hell Valley, Lin Yu would probably be disappointed, but his gaze, which had been sweeping around, was fixed on a swirling black light in the center of the valley.

Darui said, "That should be the transit hub of Hell Valley!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "A transit hub?"

Darui said, "I also heard the Third Raikage mention that Hell Valley is connected to the Five Hells: the Scorching Hell, the Extreme Cold Hell, the Acid Sea Hell, the Sandfall Hell, and the Cruel Hell. As long as the key is triggered, it can temporarily trigger the phenomena of these Five Hells, causing the environment to tilt towards the Five Hells!"

How to trigger it?

"Use the appropriate type of ninjutsu on the hub!"

"If you want to trigger the phenomenon of a scorching hell, use Fire Release on the nexus, and Hell Valley will become a magma zone!"

"If you want to trigger the phenomenon of extreme cold hell, use water escaping on the hub, and then Hell Valley will turn into an ice and snow zone!"

"If you want to trigger the Sandfall Hell phenomenon, use Wind Release on the Hub, and Hell Valley will become a wasteland!"

"If you want to trigger the phenomenon of the oppressive hell, use Earth Release on the hub. At that time, Hell Valley will become a supergravity zone!"

"If you want to trigger the phenomenon of an acidic hell, use Lightning Release on the hub. At that time, Hell Valley will become an acidic ocean!"

"The scale of the phenomenon depends on the strength of the teleportation technique applied, and the duration is uniformly half an hour..."

After listening to Darui's account, Lin Yu's expression became suspicious.

Transit point, magma, ice, desert, gravity, acid sea... What a coincidence! Kaguya Otsutsuki's 'Amanokamikazuki' eye technique uses the Origin Sphere as a transit point to connect the five major spaces!

However, it would be too hasty to conclude that Hell Valley is related to Kaguya based solely on this.

Let's give it a try!

Lin Yu formed a hand seal.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Bear! The sea of ​​fire spread across the hub, turning its color from pitch black to fiery red, and it began to spin faster. At the same time, the sea of ​​fire extinguished by the Great Fireball quickly retreated!

Lin Yu lowered his hand seals: Sure enough, that thing can absorb chakra!

The environment suddenly became scorching hot...

Glug! A large amount of magma gushed out from the ground...

boom!

Lin Yu activated his Complete Susanoo, carrying Darui into the sky...

The magma rose rapidly and accumulated into a magma pool ten meters deep!

Darui exclaimed in amazement, "Amazing... I've heard that the lava summoned by the Raikage of each generation never exceeds three meters in depth! Lord Shadow has casually summoned ten meters of lava!"

Lin Yu's eyes were 'toad-like pupils' at their center, indicating that he was already in the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku.

He was more concerned with the essence than the 'phenomenon': When the environment changed just now, I clearly sensed a massive force of nature flowing from the other side of that hub, which must be the so-called scorching hell...

"Darui, you should go to my space-time first."

"That's fine too!"

Lin Yu sent Darui into the space-time dimension.

Focus your eyes on that so-called 'transfer hub'!

—Double Divine Might!

Whoosh!! The pivot rotated more rapidly, and like dough fermenting, it turned into a huge hole. Beyond the hole was a sea of ​​lava!

It's like... a mini version of Kaguya's magma space!

Ha ha!

This astonishing discovery made Lin Yu's heart pound wildly!

After marking the magma space in front of him, the power of his divine eyes increased dramatically!

call out! ! !

In the center of that hole, a second hole opened, gradually replacing the first one.

That was a frozen wasteland!

Isn't it just a 'mini version' of an ice and snow space?

call out! !

After marking it, Lin Yu increased the power of his divine might again... but this third hole opened much slower than the first two, because it existed in a much more distant space!

After reluctantly opening it... it turned out to be a desolate desert!

Here it is, a mini version of the desert space!

After marking the mark again, Lin Yu knew... he would have to use his full strength to continue!

Boom! Sage Mode Unleashed!
