Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

“Aim at the moment I materialize my spell, there’s no other way…” Lin Yu murmured. A wooden bud sprouted from his left arm, growing into a towering tree with intertwined trunks and tangled barbs, completely shredding the descending snake’s body.

Orochimaru was completely stunned: "Wood Release, Wood Release! You possess the power of both the Uchiha and Senju clans!!"

"You damned Orochimaru, if you're still alive next time, I'll settle this score with you!" the injured Manda cursed angrily before disappearing in a puff of white smoke.

*Snap!* Lin Yu twisted his body, his left arm separating from the tree. *Snap!* The vortex mask formed by the swirling vortexes opened, revealing Lin Yu's face. Along with it, another Mangekyou Sharingan, hidden beneath the mask, also appeared!

Both kaleidoscopes contain the power of Kamui. The right eye's Kamui is primarily for defense. When used actively, it can absorb itself and external objects into another dimension. It also has an incredible passive ability: without conscious control, when the body is attacked, it automatically transfers to another dimension, becoming immune to all damage!

The left eye's Kamui is primarily offensive, capable of long-range attacks. It can distort space at the point of focus, and no being can withstand its power, not even the Ten-Tails!

*Zzzzt!* The kaleidoscope pattern in Lin Yu's left eye spun, focusing his gaze on Orochimaru's right arm!

Kamui!!

Click!

Space distorted, and Orochimaru's arm was twisted off and sent into another dimension!

"Ugh!!" Orochimaru clutched the bleeding wound on his severed arm, looking at Lin Yu with a disheveled expression, and was about to use the Substitution Jutsu to restore his arm.

"You can vomit out a brand new you, but next time, this eye technique will snap your neck!" When Lin Yu's cold warning rang out, Orochimaru stopped all resistance.

Orochimaru knew that all resistance was futile before those eyes; if Lin Yu had even that thought, he would already be dead!

"What is your purpose?" Orochimaru asked.

"The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, is not a inferior copy, but his true power!" Lin Yu said in a deep voice.

Orochimaru's pupils trembled. After a long while, he lowered his head, and from the shadows of his face came a laugh of sudden realization: "Heh heh heh, hahahahahaha! So that's how it is!"

He raised his head, licked his long tongue, and stared intently at Lin Yu with his golden vertical pupils. He said in a hoarse, low voice, "It seems that I am not the only one trying to approach that realm. Without a doubt, you have already gone ahead of me. Since we have the same goal, well, Yu-jun... let me lend you a hand!"

Chapter 4 The Mystery of Hashirama's Body!

Whoosh! In that familiar underground cave, a vortex appeared out of thin air, and Lin Yu returned to the base with Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Kamui's spatial teleportation also requires marking, but unlike Flying Thunder God which uses incantations, Kamui uses his eyes to mark. In other words, he can use Kamui to jump back and forth to any place he has been to before.

“This is…” Standing in front of the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru was extremely shocked. He had traveled all over the five great nations and had seen all kinds of powerful people and ninjutsu, but this was the first time in his life that he had ever felt so insignificant.

"This power... doesn't belong to this world! Coming here was definitely the right choice!" Orochimaru's eyes were filled with fervor for all things in the universe and the truth of the world. Lin Yu had opened a door to a new world for him.

"Orochimaru, did you see that artificial body of the First Hokage? What do you think of it?" Lin Yu asked.

Orochimaru gazed intently at the First Hokage's body atop the golem, exclaiming wistfully, "Absolutely perfect! It's just like the real Hashirama. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly couldn't imagine..."

"You have good taste." Lin Yu turned to look at Orochimaru's profile. "I want to merge with it, perfectly, completely. Do you have a way?"

Orochimaru's vertical pupils lit up, and after a moment he said, "The most direct way is to graft it onto your body, but like organ transplants, it will cause rejection, making it impossible to exert its full power. Moreover, once your own power is overdrawn, you may be devoured by the power of the First Hokage. Therefore, this method is definitely out of the question. Instead, we need to use a more advanced method." Orochimaru said seriously.

Lin Yu nodded. Orochimaru wasn't lying. Danzo used the same method. He exhausted his strength in his battle with Sasuke and was then attacked by the First Hokage's cells.

"What does 'high-end method' mean...?"

"Implanting Hashirama's original cells into the body will allow the original cells to proliferate and divide, gradually replacing the original cells. However, this will involve enduring the pain of breaking free from the cocoon, and the success rate is almost zero," Orochimaru said.

"Nearly zero. Have you conducted similar experiments?"

"I obtained the remaining bodily matter from Lord Hashirama's grave and tried to activate it to extract 'original cells.' However, due to the passage of time, I only extracted degraded original cells from the remaining bodily matter and implanted them into sixty newborns. Even with the degraded cells, only one survived—one in sixty. Therefore, I estimate that the success rate of extracting complete original cells is infinitely close to zero..."

Lin Yu knew that the surviving test subject Orochimaru mentioned was Yamato. Indeed, compared to other users of Hashirama's cells, Yamato was more like a flesh-and-blood human being, and he could use the Wood Release series of ninjutsu more comprehensively, although the power of each was greatly reduced.

There's a saying that goes, "The First Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the world, while Yamato used Wood Release for landscaping." The difference is obvious.

"What if it succeeds?" Lin Yu asked.

Orochimaru laughed as if possessed: "The legend of the God of Shinobi will be reborn!"

"Leaving aside the risks, are you confident that you can extract the most perfect original cells?" Lin Yu asked.

"The more perfect the original, the more perfect the original cells can be extracted. This replica of Lord Hashirama is infinitely close to the original, but there are still some flaws. With just a small catalyst, it can become absolutely perfect. But unfortunately, this catalyst is probably impossible to find!" Orochimaru's tone was filled with endless regret.

"The trigger, what kind of trigger?"

"That was the only baby who survived back then. I abandoned him in the equipment. He should be dead by now..." Orochimaru sighed.

Hearing this, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

So, after all that, the introduction was about Yamato.

Lin Yu knew that the baby had been rescued by Danzo by chance and kept by his side to raise. At this moment, the baby had joined the 'Root' of Konoha's Anbu, codenamed 'Armor'.

Danzo, you committed countless sins in your life, yet you still did one good deed! Lin Yu thought to himself.

"You don't need to worry about the catalyst for now..." Lin Yu said, deciding to go to Konoha later to retrieve Yamato.

Gurgle! A large number of White Zetsu emerged from all directions.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto said, drawing his kunai warily.

"Kabuto, don't be nervous. Yu-kun is our partner and won't be rude," Orochimaru said to Kabuto beside him, gazing intently at the Gedo Mazo.

He put down the kunai.

“They are amazing. They are my friends and helpers. They have transferred your experimental equipment scattered in various locations. You don’t need to worry about anything. If you need any help, just tell them…” Lin Yu said.

"Hmph, how far-sighted you are, Yu-kun~" Orochimaru said with a seductive smile.

"Orochimaru, we've heard plenty of rumors about you while we were scouting the outside world. Let me make this clear: if you dare to do anything underhanded, don't even think about leaving here alive!" the White Zetsu warned.

"Oh my, I am truly flattered. Don't worry, I won't easily lose such an important experimental field before I unveil the truth. You can rest assured now, Yu-kun..." Orochimaru said, glancing sideways at Lin Yu.

"Heh." Lin Yu said with a faint smile, "Jue, take Mr. Orochimaru and his assistant to their sleeping quarters."

"Your rooms are ready. Please follow me," a white Zetsu stepped forward and led the way.

Orochimaru gazed at the White Zetsu, thinking: "Look closely, these white guys are filled with Hashirama-sama's cells, albeit degraded ones. Yu-kun, just how much truth does he possess...?"

Late at night, Lin Yu sat on the massive beast bone spine at the base's entrance, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with Ban's fan beside him.

He truly felt that the moon in the Naruto world was rounder and brighter than the moon he had ever seen before.

Before transmigrating, Lin Yu had average grades, no outstanding talents, an introverted and taciturn personality, and no close friends in his life.

His parents divorced when he was in junior high school. After the divorce, both of them quickly remarried and neither of them was willing to support him. They only left the legal child support each month and never cared about his life.

He's gone now, they probably haven't found out yet, and even if they have... they'll just call the police and that's it, that's the kind of people they are.

After entering high school, he suffered from depression and even had suicidal thoughts. It was around that time that he came into contact with the world of anime and manga, and from then on, he was hooked. He became obsessed with those exciting and novel adventure stories, such as Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Fairy Tail, A Certain Magical Index, One-Punch Man... especially Naruto!

He felt that with these things, it wouldn't matter if he didn't have any friends.

His classmates and teachers all looked down on him, thinking he was a good-for-nothing poisoned by anime culture, and that he had no future and would be eliminated by the cruel competition of society sooner or later!

Perhaps... but how could they know that it was the world of anime that saved him, giving him the belief and motivation to live on after being abandoned by life!

Lin Yu had thought more than once how wonderful it would be if he could be born in a two-dimensional world!

Perhaps it was his disappointment with reality and his longing for the world of anime and manga that became the catalyst for his transmigration.

If this is a dream, he hopes it's a dream he'll never wake up from. He's genuinely glad he's transmigrated into the world of Naruto, since he has no attachment to anything in reality.

Even though the ninja world is full of battles and the risk of death is ever-present, Lin Yu sincerely felt that he was freer than ever before, and even the bloody wind carried a sense of comfort!

"This is where I belong. I want to live as I please, without any constraints! I didn't have the power to break through reality before, but since God gave me the opportunity to travel to the Naruto world, I will fight for everything. In this world, I don't want to be at anyone's mercy anymore. Therefore, I want power, enough power to meet any challenge!"

Lin Yu gazed at the moon, expressing his inner ambitions. His only audience was Whirlpool Jue, who was always by his side.

Through his connection with Lin Yu, Whirlpool Jue could sense his emotions—emotions only a solitary person could have.

Unlike the previous Obito, even though he was imprisoned, before his descent into darkness, he still had Kakashi, Rin, Namikaze-sensei, and Konoha in his heart...

But in Lin Yu's heart, there was nothing but a thirst for power and a yearning for freedom!

Zetsu knew perfectly well that the person he had enveloped was no longer Obito Uchiha, who aimed to become Hokage, admired Kakashi, and loved Rin Haruno. Instead, it was Uchiha Yu, who knew all the secrets of the ninja world, yearned for strength and freedom, and fought for himself. Zetsu sincerely wanted to witness where this Yu would go...

A breeze picked up, and Lin Yu stood up, holding a round fan.

*Snap!* The vortex's head swirled, transforming into a brand-new double-eyed mask. Within the holes, two eyes, reflecting the soul, shone brightly in the darkness!

"Let's set off for Konoha..."

Chapter 5 The Nightmare of Roots!

At noon, Lin Yu stood on the tallest building in Konoha Village, gazing at the Hokage Rock on the opposite mountain wall.

Konoha and Iwagakure signed a truce treaty, ending the Third Shinobi World War. The Third Hokage resigned to take responsibility, and Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage. His Hokage Rock had just been completed.

Because Lin Yu was occupying Obito's body, he had a faint sense of belonging to Konoha Village.

If he had no ulterior motives, he would probably have taken the time to explore the village.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned...

The headquarters of Root is located underground in Konoha Village.

Unlike the sun-drenched ground, this place is shrouded in darkness and oppression, day and night, just like the nature of this organization—unseen by the light.

Before Lin Yu stood two guards from the Root, dressed in the armor of the Dark Division and wearing masks.

"Who goes there!" They looked at the strangers who appeared before them, their eyes wary but not afraid.

This is Konoha, the headquarters of the Root organization. Who would be so foolish as to come looking for trouble? Judging from the mask this person is wearing, he's probably a member of the Fourth Hokage's direct ANBU, here to deliver the Fourth Hokage's orders.

However, Danzo was extremely hostile towards Minato, so he would never give the Anbu a friendly look.

Lin Yu wasn't there to chat with them. He raised his head, and the three tomoe under his mask shone brightly.

It's a Sharingan genjutsu.

The two guards stared wide-eyed, then lost focus and fell into a hypnotic illusion.

"Tell me, where is A?" Lin Yu asked indifferently.

"Second basement level, training room..." the guard replied woodenly.

Lin Yu thought to himself: Oh, they're not out on a mission? I've come at just the right time.

"Where is Danzo?" he asked again.

"Lord Danzo has gone out..." the guard replied.

During this period, Danzo had close ties with Orochimaru in secret. This trip was to the new base that Orochimaru had revealed in a secret letter.
