The setting sun bit its lip, clenched its fist, and waited anxiously.
"Wa ...
His skin was as red as a branding iron, and scalding steam spewed from every pore of his body. Everything reflected in his eyes turned blood red!
Suddenly... his eyes rolled back, and only a pale white light remained in his pupils before the screams ceased.
Thump! Thump... In his chest, the heartbeat grew weaker and weaker until it finally stopped completely. His eyes gradually closed, and his head drooped limply. All life activities ceased, and Lin Yu entered a state of suspended animation.
"Has it begun..." Orochimaru took out his pocket watch, staring at the ticking hands, his gaze lowered as he waited.
A vast, blue expanse, occasionally punctuated by shooting stars, lies the sea of the mind, the deepest layer of Lin Yu's subconscious.
Lin Yu wandered aimlessly here...
*Drip.* Suddenly, ripples appeared on the water beneath his feet, revealing a memory Lin Yu had before his transmigration.
At night, lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the window. The pale and thin boy hid under the covers, covering his ears tightly. That was Lin Yu when he was a child, but he was not afraid of thunder.
In the living room, separated by just one door, Lin Yu's parents were arguing fiercely over trivial matters. The sounds of a thermos shattering, a table being overturned, and pots and pans breaking were far more likely to leave a shadow on a young mind than thunder.
The urge to urinate was rising, and Lin Yu was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Helpless, he threw back the covers, slipped on his slippers, and was about to open the door to go to the bathroom...
Snap!
Just as he gripped the doorknob, a glass shattered heavily against the door...
That night, Lin Yu stayed in his room and did not go out.
Similar scenarios accompanied Lin Yu throughout his childhood, until he entered junior high school, when his parents each found new partners, divorced, and abandoned him...
For him, that was a relief.
The nightmare didn't end there; the scene shifts to high school.
Lin Yu went to and from school alone, and went to the cafeteria alone.
During physical education class, while his classmates were running, jumping, and playing ball, he sat alone in a corner of the playground.
He has no friends, doesn't communicate with people, and goes everywhere and does everything alone.
What's wrong with being alone?
Lin Yu prefers quiet.
But why would his desire to be alone, without affecting anyone, lead to him being beaten and humiliated? The scene shifts.
The boys in the back seat threw the chicken carcass they had finished eating onto the back of his head, and also threw scraps of sunflower seed shells at his face.
It was snowing, and a boy he barely knew stuffed a large snowball directly into the back of his collar.
A soccer ball was kicked in his face, and people made him pick it up. If he did, they mocked him; if he didn't, they beat him up...
Being beaten was a regular occurrence for him. He'd complained to the teacher, but the teacher always said, "Why does he get beaten up only when others don't?" and told him to look for the reasons within himself…
Okay, so we're cowardly and weak, but how about we fight back? The first time he fought back, the teacher called him to the office, gave him a serious reprimand, and said he would notify his parents, but they were all busy and said they couldn't come, leaving the teacher to handle the situation.
Should I not be living in this world?
Lin Yu developed depression and became pessimistic and world-weary.
I remember that time, he spent a week collecting hundreds of sleeping pills from various pharmacies and took them in his rented room.
Can we finally leave?
But the landlord found him, called an ambulance, and he was taken to the hospital for a stomach lavage.
His divorced and busy parents finally came to the hospital, split the medical expenses, and then left without entering the ward to say a single word to him, not even a single harsh word!
That was utter indifference, fulfilling only legal obligations, without any warmth of family affection!
Perhaps most parents in the world are not like this, but Lin Yu lived in such a cold-blooded family, and the warmth of family affection was a luxury for him.
After being discharged from the hospital and returning to school, his life continued as usual. Fortunately, no classmates dared to provoke him anymore, probably because they were afraid he would commit suicide again and get into trouble. But the cold and contemptuous gazes were still everywhere.
Until one day, he bought a pirated copy of the Naruto manga from a roadside stall, and that's how he entered the world of anime and manga, and from then on, he was completely hooked...
He genuinely felt that reality was completely irrelevant.
He is the kind of person teachers and parents see as a hopeless otaku, poisoned by anime and manga, destined to be eliminated by the cruel competition of society.
Perhaps that's true. Lin Yu was unwilling to refute it, and too lazy to refute it, because nothing in the real world mattered to him!
The reflection on the water disappeared because it had frozen over.
This mental world was gradually shrouded in darkness. Lin Yu stopped, squatted down, buried his head in his knees, and his consciousness blurred and faded away.
He knew he was about to die...
Lin Yu murmured, "So, in the end, I still failed? Speaking of which, why did I, from the three-dimensional world, end up here?"
"Because for you at that moment, the real world was hell, and for Uchiha Obito at that moment, the ninja world was hell. At the point where the two dimensions intersected, you two people who both felt that you were in hell resonated with each other! So, your souls crossed dimensions and exchanged bodies. You became Uchiha Obito, the Hokage, and he became Lin Yu in reality!"
Just then, a voice rang out in front of Lin Yu. He looked up... and it was actually another version of himself!
Lin Yu didn't care about what was happening to him or how he knew all this; he just asked impatiently, "What would happen if I died here?"
The figure before him gazed into the distance and said, "Perhaps you will return to your original body, because Obito hasn't let go of all his obsessions; he still has an obsession with Rin..."
"So, does that mean we're going back to the utterly boring reality?"
"Yes, there is no Sharingan, no Kamui, no Susanoo, no chakra, no ninjutsu, only a reality so heavy it's suffocating, a reality you have no power to break!"
"I absolutely do not want that kind of reality!!!"
"So wake up, I am the indomitable will within you!" The self before you raises its fist at itself.
Lin Yu smiled and extended her hand to bump fists with him.
Whoosh! Before him, the embodiment of Lin Yu's will transformed into golden light and spread out, rekindling the dim spiritual world and making it shine even more brilliantly than before!
Outside, fifteen minutes had passed. Orochimaru closed his pocket watch, looked at Lin Yu who was still bowing his head and motionless, and felt a pang of sadness: Has this gust of wind from Yu-jun come to an end?
But my quest for truth cannot stop. Yu Jun, I will accept your eyes...
Orochimaru stepped forward and extended his hand to Lin Yu...
But Lin Yu raised his head at this moment, and his Mangekyou Sharingan shone with a captivating light!
So powerful, this eye power... more powerful than ever before! Orochimaru suddenly stopped in his tracks, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.
"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?" Lin Yu's gaze was deep, and his words were calm.
"It's nothing, Yu-kun," Orochimaru said respectfully, lowering his hand.
"Just watch quietly from the side." Lin Yu lowered his head, manipulating the power of Hashirama to quickly repair the necrotic internal organs. Hot smoke rose from his skin, but the branding red was gone.
"Hey!" Orochimaru stepped back, completely convinced: Yu-kun is far more outstanding than I imagined...
The transformation continues!
Chapter 37 Assimilation or Integration?
Twelve hours have passed since Lin Yu's consciousness awoke from his apparent death. This short half-day felt like half a century!
At first, his limbs would twist and turn, and he couldn't even sit up straight, so he asked Orochimaru to find thick iron chains to fix all four of his limbs!
Even so, his body continued to tremble, and the chains made a 'crackling' sound. Lin Yu was in pain but also excited: "I can feel it. Hashirama's power is like a plague... backfiring on my body. This power makes every cell in my body tremble and cry out... So strong!"
"Yu-kun, should we get an injection of painkillers? Although it won't stop the pain, it can at least slightly alleviate it," Orochimaru suggested.
Lin Yu shook his head in refusal, his expression excited as he said, "No, this pain will allow me to personally experience the power of Hashirama's power. Just how strong will I become after I fully master it? Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"
Orochimaru thought to himself: The restless blood of the Uchiha clan flows thickly within Yu-kun's body...
Click!Click!
Suddenly, cracks appeared on Lin Yu's right arm and right cheek!
"Hmm?" Orochimaru's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and as time went on, his expression grew increasingly serious.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yu noticed Orochimaru's unusual behavior.
Orochimaru thought to himself: Hasn't Yu-kun noticed anything himself? I knew it...
So he found a mirror.
When Lin Yu saw himself in the mirror, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
The right half of his body had almost entirely turned into wood, with branches and leaves constantly sprouting from it, which was terrifying!
"What's going on?" Lin Yu asked Orochimaru.
After organizing his thoughts, Orochimaru solemnly said, "The right half of your body was almost completely destroyed due to severe injuries. The White Zetsu used as a replacement was a product of Hashirama's deteriorated cells, which almost lost the characteristics of flesh and blood and became more like 'vegetarians.' This is the fundamental reason why you don't need 'metabolism.'"
"But Hashirama himself is a human being with extraordinary vitality and physical energy, yet he is flesh and blood. The White Zetsu on your right side is beginning to revert to its plant-like state due to the catalysis of Hashirama's cellular vitality... This is something I overlooked. I had planned for everything, but I still forgot this point!" Orochimaru said with some annoyance and self-reproach.
Even the wisest can make a mistake, and even the brilliant Orochimaru is no exception.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things.
Lin Yu asked, "What will happen if this continues?"
Orochimaru said, "I'm afraid it will turn into a towering tree and tear your body apart!"
Lin Yu clenched his fist.
Orochimaru said, "I will prepare for surgery immediately to remove the 'White Zetsu' on your right side before any disastrous consequences occur!"
"No need for that complicated process, this is faster!"
Kamui!
Lin Yu's left eye transformed into a kaleidoscope, and using the reflection from the mirror in front of him, he projected Kamui onto the right half of his body.
Snap! Snap! All the parts of his right side that originated from White Zetsu were stripped away by the spacetime vortex, leaving behind a mangled, bloody limb!
"Ugh!!" For Lin Yu, who was already enduring the pain, this was like adding insult to injury!
He gritted his teeth, activating the healing power within his body to regenerate the missing limb on his right side... The flesh that grew back after the regeneration was no longer that unnatural white, but the true skin color that flesh should have.
There was also an unexpected bonus: the 'wrinkles' that were originally on Lin Yu's right cheek were smoothed out with the new growth.
This made Lin Yu's looks even better!
Orochimaru exclaimed sincerely, "Truly extraordinary..."
