Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

As I have said many times, the emergence of ninjas is only due to their convenience and the consideration of reducing military spending. They are valued by various countries, but this does not mean that they can replace the status of major powers!

If any major power had that idea, it could wipe out the ninja village overnight!

While the army of 100,000 was impressive, Lin Yu's focus was on something else entirely.

"If they were stationed here, they would have camps or something, but they're clearly waiting here. Did they know I was coming? They're really something..."

He sighed, his eyes now focused on the inconspicuous chariot among the 100,000 troops!

Instinct told him that the person he was looking for was right there!

The young lieutenant reported: "General! A hundred meters above us, there is a towering black giant, comparable to a mountain!"

Zatoichi murmured, "The Uchiha clan, Susanoo... just like Madara Uchiha back then. But does this darkness represent an all-encompassing darkness? Fire the arrows."

The lieutenant shouted, "Force!"

Swish!

One hundred thousand soldiers nocked their arrows and drew their bows.

Xi Yan exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, they're about to ejaculate!!"

Lin Yu said, "Ah, I see it..."

The lieutenant shouted, "Move!"

Swish!

One hundred thousand fiery arrows shot straight into the sky, densely packed, like a sudden downpour...

Even a fully-formed Susanoo would be unable to withstand this barrage of fiery arrows!

Susanoo then formed hand seals.

Susanoo - Great Flame Bullet!

Bear! A huge fireball fell, exploding in front of the rain of arrows... igniting the explosive tags on the arrows.

Rumble rumble rumble!

In an instant, explosions erupted one after another... Most of the explosive arrows detonated prematurely, and the few that escaped were no longer able to cause effective damage to Susanoo.

After this barrage of fiery arrows, Susanoo stood almost unscathed in the sky, its minor damage rapidly repaired.

The lieutenant asked, "General, what should we do? Should we continue firing arrows?"

Zatoichi said, "No rush, he probably has something to say."

Lin Yu's voice echoed in the sky: "You have come from afar, it must have been hard for you. Before we begin, let me ask you this: Is the Dark Kingdom really worth your charging into battle and risking your lives?"

Many soldiers had a flicker in their eyes... Lin Yu's words hit their weak spot.

Zatoichi muttered to himself, "Winning hearts and minds is the best strategy, huh? It seems he's quite familiar with military tactics..."

At this moment, the hot-blooded young vice-general shouted, "Whether it's worth it or not is none of your business, you traitor who betrays us! In the past, our country of Takigawa even changed its name to 'Dark' to show goodwill. Over the years, we have provided you with a lot of economic aid and a large influx of fresh blood!"

"Without us, you wouldn't be where you are today. Now that you've grown up, you want to set up your own business and even dare to seize land. We are willing to punish such a disloyal, unjust, shameless scoundrel for the sake of the country!"

As soon as the young lieutenant finished speaking, the soldiers' eyes hardened immediately, and they looked up at the sky with a shared hatred for the enemy, gripping their weapons tightly.

"You bastard, I'll strike him with lightning!" Xi Yan's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her body seemed to be about to transform into lightning.

Even the usually gentle Xiyang couldn't stand it anymore, her beautiful eyes turning icy cold.

"That's quite a high-sounding statement. Not long ago, I provided disaster relief for you, spending nearly a hundred times more money than the Daimyo Prefecture. Is it unreasonable for me to ask for a small amount of uncultivated land as a reward? Or do you think that ninjas should selflessly dedicate themselves to you? That's all ancient history. Besides, you seem to have no idea who you're talking to..."

As Lin Yu's cold words fell, Susanoo raised his hand high.

call out!

A massive vortex of divine power suddenly appeared above...

From that whirlpool, a huge rock, large enough to block out the sun, emerged!

To build the new city, Lin Yu had to clear away the massive mountains every day. During the clearing process, Lin Yu suddenly had a brilliant idea: if he could store those mountains in space-time, could they be used as weapons for attack?

The inspiration for unleashing Kamui at this moment, transforming it into a high-altitude rockfall attack, comes from the Iwagakure air combat unit!

Lin Yu doesn't know the Super Weight Technique, but he does know the Metal Escape Technique...

The Gold Release technique, known as the Alchemy of Stone, can transform different stones into different metals!

That rock is made of granite!

Lin Yu formed a hand seal.

—Golden Escape: The Art of Turning Stone into Gold!

call out!

The entire boulder turned a shimmering silver color!

That's not silver, but a more special metal than silver—'magnesium'!

Magnesium is a silvery-white, light alkaline earth metal with extremely reactive chemical properties...

When magnesium burns, it emits a dazzling white light and releases ultra-high temperatures exceeding 3000°C!

Even more frightening is that magnesium's ignition point is... less than 40°C!

As long as it comes into contact with air, it is enough to spontaneously combust, even in the dead of winter!

That massive amount of granite was transformed into magnesium blocks of equal mass by the metal magic!

As Susanoo pressed down with his arm... the magnesium block fell downwards like a meteorite!

The friction with the air... caused it to catch fire, emitting a dazzling white light!

"My eyes!! My eyes!!!" The archers, trying to aim, were instantly blinded by the white light!

Such a large magnesium block is enough to prevent it from completely burning up during its fall...

The temperature was so high that it could melt a person's skin even from tens of meters away!

boom!!

The moment it hit the crowd, the massive magnesium block exploded...

White flames bloomed on the earth like lotus flowers...

The flames symbolized death...

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" Amidst the screams, the area below transformed into a living hell!

"Quickly, use water! Use water to put out the fire!!!"

But it's useless; magnesium can even burn in water...

This is a flame that cannot be extinguished!

At the same time, with the explosion... white powder spread out!

That's magnesium oxide, which is tasteless and non-toxic, but excessive absorption can irritate the respiratory tract mucosa.

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

A large number of soldiers were affected... some were lying down, some were clutching their chests, coughing violently. The coughing was so severe that it made people worry that they might cough up their lungs!

The ground was already filled with cries of despair... and it looked like the flames were about to engulf even more people.

call out! !

Suddenly... a white tornado rose from the ground, carrying wildly raging white flames, swept into the sky, and struck Susanoo!

What's terrifying isn't the white flames, but the tornado that's whipping them up!

Click!Click!

It caused cracks to appear on Susanoo's armor...

In the Yata no Kagami, Lin Yu was completely unconcerned, his eyes fixed on the carriage that, amidst the chaos, remained undamaged and had become the center of attention!

*Click!* That's the sound of a sword returning to its sheath.

Whoosh! A calloused hand lifted the car's roller shutter.

"Being blind is a blessing in itself. There are too many things in this world that are unbearable to look at. The Uchiha clan must witness the tragic death of their loved ones in order to awaken their true eye power. It is not without its sorrow. What do you think, Shadow... no, now I should address you as Your Majesty, Emperor Feather?"

Thud! His wooden clogs landed on the ground, his terrifyingly vacant eyes, long since devoid of light, stared directly at the darkness of the sky: "When I served under the former daimyo of the Land of Darkness, I long heard of your great name. Today, I finally meet you, and indeed, your reputation is well-deserved. My name is Zatoichi, a fallen samurai spirit. I hope you will guide me..."

Chapter 387 A Master in Distant Court!

Whoosh! In the sky, Susanoo was released.

Lin Yu, Xi Yan, and Xi Yang landed on the ground.

Lin Yu surveyed Zatoichi ahead, his gaze lingering on the three swords at Zatoichi's waist, recalling his conversation with Kakuzu half a month ago.

Kakuzu said that Zatoichi became a samurai at the age of ten and is now in his sixties. He has handled many famous swords, and each sword represents a stage in his life!

Samurai are skilled at imbuing their swords with chakra, combining it with superb swordsmanship to injure their enemies with unpredictable power.

The same technique can be used freely by almost any ninja at the Jonin level.

But few people know that this technique of imbuing objects with chakra is divided into two stages!

The first stage involves wrapping chakra around the surface of an object to enhance its power. Once the chakra is released, the object will revert to its original properties without any change. Most samurai and ninjas only reach this stage in their mastery of this technique!

The second stage involves infusing chakra into the object itself, fundamentally altering its properties. In the realm of swordsmen, this process is called 'sword forging'!

The creation of a famous sword is not merely a matter of quenching it after it is forged, but rather it is the result of years of 'forging' by a master swordsman, transforming it into a world-renowned blade!

At the time, Kakuzu recalled: "I fought Zatoichi 40 years ago. I was already in my forties, and Zatoichi was just over twenty. I remember it very clearly. The sword he used was called 'Mikazuki Munechika,' which was the first sword he ever handled!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu asked curiously, "Mikazuki? The secret technique of Konoha swordsmanship, the Dance of the Crescent Moon, is it related to this?"

Kakuzu said, "Ah...you mean the sword technique created by the Second Hokage? When Zatoichi was 15 years old, he visited Konoha as a representative of the Land of Iron and sparred with the Second Hokage using his self-created Crescent Moon Style, even managing to cut a nick in the Second Hokage's Thunder God Sword!"

"Although Zatoichi lost the sparring match, his superb swordsmanship amazed even the Second Hokage. He took a fragment of Zatoichi's Mikazuki Style and combined it with his own Shadow Clone Technique to create the Dance of the Mikazuki."

"I see."

"When Zatoichi was defeated by Tobirama, Mikazuki Munechika had not yet been forged into a famous sword. But when he fought me, Mikazuki Munechika had already become a famous sword. I didn't even have time to form hand seals before the battle was over..."

Even after so many years, Kakuzu's dark green eyes still held a hint of regret, showing how deeply that defeat had impressed him. Yet, he showed no resentment, indicating that he was completely convinced of the defeat.
