Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Kakashi closed his eyes: "So, does that mean someone needs to stay behind to cover the main force's retreat?"

Crack! Purple lightning had covered his entire body.

"Kakashi... We've already lost our strategist, we can't lose the Hokage too." At that moment, a burly man with the character 'food' written on his back walked over.

"Mr. Tou!" Kakashi exclaimed in surprise, "You wouldn't be planning to...?"

The person who stepped out at this moment was none other than Akimichi Tou, the former bodyguard of the Fourth Hokage, Minato!

"When Minato was in trouble, as his brother and best friend, I couldn't do anything for him. Now, I'm going to clear Minato's name. Leave this to me, you all just retreat!!"

Boom! !

Akimichi Tōdō shoved the iron rod into the ground and formed a hand seal.

Ninja Art: Super Expansion Technique!!!

boom!!!!!!

His body swelled at a visible rate, towering over the mountaintop and reaching above the clouds!

Such a massive object, unsurprisingly, became a target for the entire enemy army.

"Drink!!" He suddenly ripped off his shirt, revealing his battered body, and took a deep breath.

"—Listen up, all of you!! Minato is a hero of Konoha, not the demon you all see him as!!!!!!!!!"

The roar was deafening, echoing across the heavens and the earth!

He leaped down from the hilltop with a thunderous roar, brandishing his battle staff, braving a hail of arrows, and charging fearlessly towards the thousands of troops...

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

It is said that Tang Dong single-handedly held off the army of the Land of Fire until his own forces retreated. The moment he fell... blood rained down on the battlefield, and even the generals of the Land of Fire led their soldiers to remove their hats and bow in respect before his enormous remains!

the other side.

A vehicle was slowly approaching the Land of Fire.

The carriage curtain was pulled back, and a hand holding a cigarette reached out, flicking off the ash. The Sharingan beneath the mask gazed at the passing scenery: "Ah, the scenery is truly beautiful..."

Flicked the cigarette butt away, Lin Yu turned around, and looked with a hint of distress at the red-eyed woman sitting beside him, staring intently at him.

It turned out that Kurenai had been staying in Feathered Emperor City for half a year and finally felt stifled, so she wanted to take this opportunity to go out and relax...

into the night.

The vehicle stopped.

The royal coachman said, "Your Majesty, the Fire Kingdom is currently under martial law at its borders, so this is the only way we can take you..."

"Thank you for your hard work. When you get back, remember to collect your reward from Accountant Kakuzu..." Lin Yu and Kurenai Yuhi got out of the car together.

"Hey! Stableman, give me a ride!!" A fierce-looking silver-haired man, carrying a huge scroll, limped over.

The more Lin Yu looked at the person, the more familiar he felt.

Isn't that 'Shui Mu'? And the scroll he's carrying, could it be...?

Chapter 424 A World of Delight!

"Where are you headed, sir?" the driver asked Shui Mu as he approached.

"The Land of Earth!" Mizuki said. The Land of Earth has an extremely developed trade, including a black market. He wanted to sell the Book of Seals there.

"Uh, it's not on the way, so the price might be a bit higher..." the driver said.

Shui Mu fled in a disheveled state, penniless. He glared at the man and woman in front of the car and yelled, "Hey, you two, hand over your money, or I'll leave you to rot in the wilderness!!"

Lin Yu said, "Uh... is this so barbaric? How about we make a deal? I'll pay for what you're carrying, and that way you'll have travel expenses to the Land of Earth. It's a good deal, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Mizuki scoffed, "Fool, do you know what I'm holding in my hands? Even if you took out all the wealth accumulated by your ancestors for eighteen generations, you wouldn't be able to buy even a tenth of it! Hand over the money now! Or I'll kill you. Let me tell you, I'm a rogue ninja of Konoha!"

Whoosh! A kunai slipped from his sleeve.

Lin Yu calmly replied, "What a coincidence! Me too, and so is the person behind me. We're all rogue ninja from Konoha..."

"!" Upon hearing this, Mizuki immediately took a large step back, his expression becoming one of surprise and uncertainty. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on Kurenai's face, and cold sweat poured down his back: "You, you... I remember you are, Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi!"

Bang! He immediately took out a smoke grenade, threw it on the ground, and ran away on one leg.

"Where are you going?" Lin Yu blocked his way.

"Ah! Go to hell!!" Mizuki threw a kunai forward... but it passed right through Lin Yu's mask.

Feathered hand reached back and grabbed the kunai behind him, looking at it in front of him.

"Hmm, there's still dried blood on it. You killed someone..." Lin Yu raised his eyes, focusing his left eye.

Kamui!

"Ah!" Mizuki's left arm was torn off, and along with the Book of Seals, it was transferred to the space-time dimension!

Yu rushed forward and lifted Shui Mu into the air with one hand.

Mizuki exclaimed in horror: "You, who exactly are you...?"

Lin Yu replied indifferently: "You're not good enough for someone like me."

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Shui Mu's eyes glazed over, and he foamed at the mouth.

"I see... Umino Iruka, you killed him, so the bloodstains on this kunai must be Iruka's!"

Lin Yu tossed the half-dead Mizuki far away and threw the kunai stained with Iruka's blood on the ground.

Their hands formed a series of ornate hand seals.

—Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Mizuki let out a shrill scream, and dust clung to him, transforming him into the likeness of Iruka!

“I remember you are…” Iruka, who had seen Lin Yu at the Chunin Exams.

"Ah, it's a long story. I've already taken care of Mizuki, who was supposed to kill you..."

"Sigh, it's all because I'm too weak, otherwise he wouldn't have succeeded at all."

call out!

Lin Yu released the Book of Seals from his eyes and handed it, along with a token, to Iruka.

"Perfect timing. Take that carriage, and with this token, report to my Dark Ninja Kingdom. Give the Scroll of Sealing to Naruto Uzumaki; you should recognize him..."

Speaking of which, Iruka was Naruto's teacher during his time at the Ninja Academy.

Konoha was originally going to relocate to the Hidden Ninja Country, and Iruka had no objection to that. However, looking at the Book of Seals in his arms, he said, "You trust me with such an important thing?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? Character and strength are irrelevant. Just go..."

"Thank you, I will definitely complete the task you assigned me." Iruka bowed solemnly to Lin Yu, then, holding the Book of Sealing, got into the carriage.

"Then, Your Majesty, I will truly return this time," the coachman said.

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Yu waved.

"Giddy up!" The coachman cracked the whip and rode off in a cloud of dust.

The little incident has passed.

"..." After getting out of the car, Kurenai Yuhi didn't say a word, her gaze always fixed on Lin Yu.

For the past six months, Hong has become a highly respected genjutsu master at the Dark Ninja Academy. Spending time with the children has made her a little more cheerful, but she often feels lonely and isolated. In the quiet of the night, a strange feeling always surges within her, causing her to wake up in the middle of the night with tears soaking her pillow...

She often dreams of a certain man, and for some reason, that man looks so much like the shadow...

Is it by chance?

She couldn't understand why she was like this. She had no relevant memories, but something lingering deep in her soul was subtly influencing her.

Just like the knowledge we once learned, even if we forget it, its influence on a person still remains in their personality (so don't say that studying is useless or that what you learn is useless; that's just a superficial view. Students, pay more attention to DingTalk; it'll probably be ringing again soon).

"What are you daydreaming about? It's time to go..." Lin Yu's urging brought Hong back to her senses.

"Oh, they're here..." Hong followed, and the two walked one after the other towards the border of the Land of Fire.

Even though Lin Yu's attitude was somewhat cold, even though he was walking in silence like this, Hong felt very at ease...

Given their abilities, crossing the border undetected would be an easy task.

During this extraordinary time, chaos reigned within the Land of Fire. The neighing of warhorses could be heard intermittently as tens of thousands of troops swept past, raising clouds of dust...

Hidden in the shadows, Lin Yu watched the army rushing past and murmured, "The Fire Country's forces have already gathered near the border. It seems Konoha has advanced this far. If they can reach here on their own, it will save me from having to use Kotoamatsukami again..."

Swish!

After closing the leaf he had parted, Lin Yu started running.

Hong followed behind, asking, "Where are we going now?"

Lin Yu said: "Daming Mansion..."

Hong said, "Didn't we say there was no rush and we could take our time?"

Lin Yu said, "The premise is that the daimyo himself is in the daimyo's mansion, sitting there obediently. But if he plays some tricks, it will be too late by the time we get there, so let's rule out that possibility as soon as possible..."

Hong asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

"I haven't thought of anything yet, but I'll tell you when I do..." Lin Yu changed the subject: "But didn't you say you came out to relax? Is it okay for you to keep staring at me?"

A blush crept across her red face as she ran, brushing a strand of hair from her temple: "You're the Shadow, aren't you? Everyone in the Dark Shadow Kingdom admires you and thinks you're an extraordinary ninja. I... I'm like that too, is that not allowed?"

"Uh... okay, if you think it's fine, then it's fine. After all, you're a member of our Ninja Kingdom!" Lin Yu said.

Late at night, in the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.

Lin Yu bypassed the numerous imperial guards and infiltrated the inner palace.

Boom!

He threw the body of the Fire Country Daimyo's double on the ground.

"As expected, he's a cunning old fox... Did he set up a smokescreen? Four carriages, and the real one is accompanied by Asuma, right?"
