Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"Compared to her brother's brilliance, the younger sister Luo Tongluo seemed rather ordinary, with only her red hair, which she had since birth, drawing a little attention."

(As an aside, in genetics there is the concept of dominant and recessive genes. Ashura and the Sage of Six Paths, although not red-haired... their red hair is probably a trait hidden in their genes, which manifested in Ratna.)

Mito, observing the subtle changes in Lin Yu's expression, smiled and said, "I think you've probably guessed it by now, Yu'er... Rahuro is the true ancestor of the Senju clan, and Ratna is the true ancestor of the Uzumaki clan."

"All things in the universe can only endure through the interplay of Yin and Yang. Although Rahu's power is strong, its nature is too purely Yang and too rigid."

"After passing his peak, Gan Tenwa's chakra and vitality rapidly declined..."

"Luo Tongluo was initially ordinary, but her strength lay in the balance of Yin and Yang. Her power did not decline with the years; on the contrary, it tended to grow stronger. In the end, she surpassed her brother in every way..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu thought: Could it be another melodramatic fratricide?

"Luo Tongluo couldn't bear to see her brother growing weaker and more depressed... so she did something shocking!"

"Shocking?" Lin Yu took a sip of tea.

"Yes, she and Luo Houluo... had a sexual relationship!"

"Cough cough!" Lin Yu almost spat out the tea he had just drunk.

"Don't misunderstand, her motives are pure. Luo Tongluo only wanted to prolong the life of the weak and dying Luo Houluo by injecting a trace of yin into Luo Houluo's pure yang body through the method of yin-yang union."

At this point, a complex emotion flashed in Mito's beautiful eyes: "But... this also made the two of them fall completely in love!"

This is truly astonishing!

Lin Yu put down his teacup and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "What about Asura?"

Mito said, "Of course he was furious. After all, this was an unprecedented scandal. He severely punished Rahu... Rahu pleaded desperately and emphasized that it was his fault."

"Unable to bear seeing his sister suffer, Rahula voluntarily asked Ashura to expel him from the household and never return, and Ashura ultimately agreed..."

“After that, Luo Houluo never came back, and the two siblings never met again in this life.”

Lin Yu asked naturally, "Then, did the two of them each start their own families and have their own offspring?"

But then Mito shook his head: "My sister Rahu got married, and her descendants are from the Uzumaki clan, but my brother Rahu never married and died alone..."

Lin Yu couldn't help but wonder, "Since Rahu died alone, how did the Thousand Hands clan continue to exist?"

“Sigh…” Mito couldn’t help but sigh and said sadly, “Shortly after they separated, Luo Tongluo found out she was pregnant! She didn’t tell anyone because she knew very well that if she did, the child would not survive.”

"She secretly gave birth to the child and entrusted him to someone she trusted to raise... However, the child was born with a defect, inheriting almost no of his mother's power, and the power he received from his father was also imperfect. Even so, compared to ordinary people, he was still an outstanding being. The child's descendants became the Senju clan..."

"Luo Tongluo kept this secret until her father and husband passed away one after another, and she herself met her end. Only then did she reveal this long-buried secret to her youngest daughter. She instructed her daughter that the Uzumaki and Senju clans must be friends forever, and that the male members of the Senju lineage with pure blood should try to marry female members of the Uzumaki clan with excellent bloodlines. Only in this way can the defects of the Senju lineage be made up for, and their strength and youth be continued to the greatest extent."

"Despite the obstacles of worldly conventions and moral obligations, this was the only thing Luo Tongluo could do for his beloved brother. After that, even as blood ties faded, the bond between the Uzumaki and Senju continued generation after generation, unbroken to this day..."

What a poignant and moving story...

No wonder Ashina said that the Uzumaki clan was the true lineage of Ashura.

Hashirama Senju was likely a bloodline revertant, gaining power equal to Rahu, which is why he became the reincarnation of Ashura... It was also because of his union with Mito that a trace of femininity was present in Hashirama's pure yang physique early on, making the defects of the Senju bloodline almost invisible.

Lin Yu couldn't help but look directly at himself.

And what about me? If I have the same physique as Hashirama, wouldn't the same flaws apply to me? Since I transmigrated to the Naruto world, I've fought so frequently; logically, shouldn't the side effects have already manifested...?

I still haven't sensed any signs...

There was only one reason Lin Yu could think of!

The sun transplanted Mito's cells! And the union between myself and the sun indirectly obtained some of the power of the Uzumaki clan, which helped to regulate the excessive Yang energy.

Or perhaps... the Yin power that originated from the Uchiha clan inherently served a harmonizing function.

But ultimately, it is fundamentally different from the 'power of the vortex'.

Mito said perceptively, "Yu'er, if you have something on your mind, you might as well tell your mother..."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Godmother, please tell me about the 'Vortex Power.' For my purpose, I must obtain that power!"

Chapter 437 The Power of the Vortex!

"The power of the vortex, it seems that Father had already told you the secrets of the Uzumaki clan's power before he passed away." Mito said solemnly, "Yes, the Uzumaki clan not only possesses powerful chakra and vitality, as well as ancient sealing techniques... but also the 'power of the vortex' that no other ninja possesses!"

Mito stood up, lifted the hem of her shirt, revealing her firm belly: "Yu'er, use your Sharingan to carefully observe your mother's 'root chakra'!"

The root chakra, the point where the meridian system converges in the lower abdomen, is the source of human chakra. If observed with the Byakugan or Sharingan, one will find that the chakra reaction in this area is as intense as a flame.

In some martial arts and fantasy novels, it is called Dantian, but in the Naruto system, it is called 'root chakra' (the concept comes from ancient Indian yoga, and Masashi Kishimoto also introduced the concept of 'chakra' from ancient Indian yoga).

*Zzz!* Lin Yu's eyes turned into a kaleidoscope, his gaze locking onto the area around Mito's navel, his vision penetrating her skin... The root chakra, formed by the convergence of meridian systems, appeared before Lin Yu's eyes.

"This, this is...!" Lin Yu immediately noticed the difference.

The root chakra of ordinary ninjas, including Lin Yu himself, is a ball of flame. The flames vary in size and color. Taking Lin Yu himself as an example, it is a golden fireball like a blazing sun. Its intensity is thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of ordinary ninjas, and this is even more true in Sage Mode!

The chakra flame in Mito's root chakra was not as intense as Lin Yu's, but in terms of shape, it was like a vortex that kept rotating, dividing the chakra into two colors representing yin and yang!

Lin Yu suddenly realized: "So that's how the Whirlpool Clan's emblem came about!"

Mito lowered the hem of her robe to cover her lower abdomen and sat back down in her chair: "This is the power of the vortex, which can harmonize the proportions of yin and yang, always maintaining the most perfect balance..."

Lin Yu asked, "The power of vortexes also has different levels, right?"

Mito replied, "Yes, the number of turbines represents the grade of the vortex power, ranging from one to three turbines. As you can see, the three-turbine type is exactly the same as our clan crest, and it is the highest grade..."

"I see, are triple turbochargers really that rare?"

“Triple-powered chakra is not rare, but being born with triple-powered chakra is extremely rare. Kushina, like me, was born with triple-powered chakra, which is why she was chosen as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki after me…”

I see. It seems the number of turbines in the Vortex Clan can be increased later, but the later increases are somewhat inflated, while those that are innate are more valuable...

Nagato was chosen by Madara to have his Rinnegan transplanted, which must be a rare case of being born with three innate Rinnegan!

After understanding the power of the vortex, Lin Yu asked the most crucial question: "Godmother, I want to obtain the power of the vortex and have cells from the vortex clan transplanted. Is that possible?"

Mito gently shook her head and said, "The vortex is a power higher than that of cells. Just like how a foreigner who has transplanted 'Uchiha' cells cannot awaken the Sharingan."

"Similarly, even if foreign races transplant our cells and their vitality and chakra are enhanced, they still cannot obtain the power of the vortex..."

Even cell transplantation isn't working... This is really difficult.

Mito pondered for a moment and said, "But it's not impossible to obtain them... Girls of the Uzumaki clan, before the age of ten, their vortexes are not stable, and can be extracted and transferred through a specific method..."

Lin Yu asked in surprise, "Wait, does it have to be a girl?"

Mito said, "Yes, it must be a girl. This has been proven over hundreds of years..."

Lin Yu clenched his fist slightly: "If the vortex is removed, what will happen to the girl? Will she die?"

Mito said, "She won't die. Uzumaki isn't our clan's only strength, but the girl's future will be ruined..."

Lin Yu left, his steps somewhat heavy.

In a quiet corner of Feather Emperor City.

A boy and a girl are practicing together, and another boy is leaning against a tree, fast asleep; that's Shuiyue.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Karin, that's enough for now, don't push yourself too hard..." Kimimaro said gently, holding his bone sword and looking at Karin, who was panting heavily across from him.

"No, I want to become stronger as soon as possible, gain the attention of Lord Dark Shadow, and become a pillar of the ninja kingdom!" Karin bit her arm to heal the wound on her shoulder caused by the bone knife, gripped her kunai tightly, and charged at Kimimaro again.

Lin Yu watched this scene silently, clenching his fists, his feelings a complex mix...

Karin's vortex, just like Mito and Kushina's... is a three-vortex from birth.

She is nine years old this year, which meets the requirements. If Lin Yu is determined, he should be able to obtain the power of the vortex soon.

He closed his eyes, his heart churning... He recalled the scene nine years ago when Karin's mother, covered in wounds, came to the newly established Dark Village, knelt before him, and entrusted the infant Karin to him.

He opened his eyes: "There are still six months until Karin's tenth birthday. We should, no, we must find another way!"

call out!

Lin Yu disappeared under the moonlight and went to Orochimaru's laboratory.

Orochimaru was playing with the new experimental facility he had obtained from Tono Tensuke as if it were a treasure.

Seeing Lin Yu appear behind him, Orochimaru stopped what he was doing, a knowing smile playing on his lips: "Ah, Yu-kun, it's been a long time. You seem to be troubled by something..."

Lin Yu sat down on the sofa, picked up a sheet of experimental data from the table in front of him, glanced at it, couldn't understand anything, and put it aside, clasping his hands in front of his chest.

Orochimaru brewed a cup of hot coffee and sat down with Lin Yu at the table, with candles lit.

Lin Yu told Orochimaru everything about the power of the vortex.

"I see... Yu-kun was eager to obtain this power, but couldn't bear to harm that girl named Karin, right?" Orochimaru looked at Lin Yu with complicated eyes and sighed, "If it were the Yu-kun of back then, perhaps he would have been more decisive..."

There was no way around it; Lin Yu was no longer the cold-blooded youth he once was. Over the years, he had become the Shadow, a father, and even the Emperor… He had many entanglements.

He can be ruthless and decisive when facing enemies, but he cannot be cold-blooded when facing those around him.

“Perhaps we can find someone other than that girl. Although the Uzumaki clan has been wiped out, there are still scattered members scattered in various places. If we are determined, we can always find them,” Orochimaru said.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think we can find any more 'Innate Three Turbines' besides Xiang Lin..."

Mito, Kushina, Karin, the three heroines of the Uzumaki clan—they're all here… How could there possibly be anyone with their talent? Lin Yu, for one, simply didn't believe it…

Orochimaru asked, "So, Yu-kun wants to obtain the power of the vortex without harming this girl?"

"Yes, and there are less than six months until she turns ten. Is it possible to find this method?" Lin Yu stared directly at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered: "If... we can't find a way, what do you plan to do, Yu-kun?"

call!

The candlelight flickered on the table. Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "At that time, I will harden my heart! So Orochimaru, you must find him..."

Orochimaru said solemnly, "I will do my best, Yu-kun..."

Chapter 438 The Story of the Demon Blade!

On this day, Mifune, the leader of the samurai of the Land of Iron, traveled a long way to visit the Land of Hidden Ninjas to request a meeting with Zatoichi... After receiving permission from the Emperor, the former master and disciple met.

After decades, the two inevitably reminisced. After the reminiscing, Mifune removed the plate armor from his chest, revealing his scarred chest. A brand-new knife wound separated the other old wounds, which were deep enough to reach the bone and were particularly conspicuous!

"..." Although Zatoichi was blind, his mind was perfectly clear: "This aura... is it Mikazuki Munechika?"

Mifune said in a solemn tone, "Miyamoto has returned. Not only has he taken your Mikazuki Munechika, but he also dares to covet your cursed sword..."
