Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Near the border of the Land of Grass, which borders the Land of Waterfall, a tall man dressed in black walked out in front of a money exchange, carrying a money box in his hand.

The man had cold, dark green eyes, wore a dark gray hat that covered his hair and cheeks, extending to his shoulders, and a black mask that concealed his nose and mouth. There were stitches on his arms and wrists.

He is Kakuzu, the man whom Naruto fans jokingly refer to as—the one who threw a shuriken at the First Hokage from 800 miles away, then turned and ran, and from then on claimed to have fought the First Hokage…

Of course, this is just a joke; Kakuzu's story is not so trivial.

He wandered to the very beginning of time, tracing back to the earliest period when ninja villages were established in various countries.

As an elite member of Takigakure, Kakuzu accepted the mission sent by the higher-ups to assassinate the First Hokage. After infiltrating the Land of Fire, Kakuzu engaged in battle with the First Hokage, Hashirama. Ultimately, he was defeated by Hashirama's Wood Release technique and faced imminent death.

Kakuzu then fled back to the village, only to be accused of mission failure and severely punished—the ninja who risked his life for the village was treated cruelly.

Thus, Kakuzu escaped from prison with intense hatred and took the secret technique that the village treasured. He used this technique to steal the hearts of all the village's high-ranking members. This secret technique is the vascular tentacles that Kakuzu used—the Earth Grudge.

……

Kakuzu, who had just left the gold exchange, was blocked by a group of ninjas not far away.

Kakuzu's dark green eyes swept coldly over the group's headbands, and he said in a low voice, "What business do you have with me, you guys from Takigakure?"

"Kakuzu, we are here on the orders of Village Chief Shibuki to invite you back to the village," the leader of the Takigakure ninja said, his tone somewhat impolite.

"Huh?" Kakuzu tilted his head, a cold voice emanating from beneath his black mask: "So, these are your last words!"

Click! Click! Click!

"Ahhhh!!!"

Dark tentacles shot out from Kakuzu's body, instantly turning the Takigakure ninja present into grasshoppers!

Whoosh! The tentacles covered with corpses swayed and moved. Kakuzu, carrying a money box, coldly stepped forward and said to the leader of the Taki ninja who was already paralyzed with fear on the ground, "What are you planning, Shibuki? Tell me the truth, or I'll use your heart as a spare!"

The Takigakure ninja said in a trembling voice, "Lord Kakuzu, that Uchiha Yu has declared that he will attack Takigakure. The village's current fighting strength is insufficient, so Village Chief Shibuki would like to ask Lord Kakuzu to take action..."

*Thud!* Kakuzu stopped in his tracks, his dark green eyes darting around: "Uchiha... Yu? Is that the head on the current bounty list, worth 1 million ryo?"

“I…I think it’s right,” Shinobu Nataki said cautiously.

"You want to drag me down with you? How utterly ridiculous!" Kakuzu lifted him into the air with one hand, about to take his heart.

Taki Shinobu hurriedly said, "Lord Kakuzu, the village chief said he knows you still resent the village for what happened back then, so if you're willing to return to the village, he'll give you a generous reward—the amount will definitely not disappoint you!!"

"Oh?" Kakuzu's eyes lit up noticeably. "How much?"

"One hundred million taels!" the man said.

"There's a limit to looking down on people!" Kakuzu roared.

"This 100 million taels is extra. If you kill Uchiha Yu, you can use his head to exchange for another 100 million taels, that's 200 million taels!" the man hurriedly said.

“That sounds pretty good…” Kakuzu’s attitude changed.

“Then…” Taki Shinobu was overjoyed.

“Daga, Koukouwalu! (But I refuse!)”

"This……"

"You think I haven't heard about that guy? He's the most ruthless Uchiha ninja since Madara Uchiha. Fighting a guy like that, you wouldn't have enough lives to go around, so..."

"So, so?" Taki Shinobu swallowed hard, judging from Kakuzu's tone... even money couldn't solve the problem.

"So, one hundred million isn't enough, add another hundred million!" Kakuzu exclaimed in astonishment. It turned out it all came down to money!

"If you agree, we'll set off now; if you don't agree..."

"Yes, I promise..." Taki Shinobu said quickly.

Bang! The commander threw him to the ground: "Where's the money?"

Nataki Shinobu hurriedly picked out a money box from a pile of corpses and handed it to Kakuzu.

That box clearly couldn't hold two hundred million taels.

"Are you kidding me?" Kakuzu frowned.

“The village chief said that this 2000 million is a deposit to show his sincerity, and the rest of the money will be paid upon delivery…” Takishinobu finished speaking and looked nervously at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu stared at Takishinobu with his dark green eyes for a long time before putting down the money box in his hand, taking the money box in front of him, sitting down on the ground, opening the box, grabbing a stack of banknotes, moistening them with saliva, and counting them professionally.

"Lord Kakuzu?"

"Shut up! Don't bother me while I'm counting my money!"

Two hours later, Kakuzu put the last stack of banknotes away, closed the money box, and stood up. His gaze swept over the already cold corpses, and seeing that there were no valuable heads, he said to Takigakure, whose mouth was sewn shut and whose eyes were full of fear, "Let's go. Don't dawdle, or I'll blow you to bits..."

As the sun set, Lin Yu and his group rested temporarily near the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Waterfall.

Glug... The White Zetsu, acting as the envoy, emerged from the ground behind Lin Yu.

"How is it?" Lin Yu asked, looking ahead and then behind him.

"Those guys from Takigakure are planning to resist to the end, and they even spent a lot of money to bring back a rogue ninja named Kakuzu. What do you plan to do?" White Zetsu said truthfully.

"Heh, I've given them a chance. Since they don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being ruthless." Lin Yu stood up, holding his fan. "Then let's erase Takigakure from the map of the ninja world forever..."

Half a day later, late at night.

At the summit of the mountain where the Great Waterfall of Taki-no-Kuni hangs, Lin Yu, A Fei, and Uzuki Sunset are high above.

Below, at the entrance to Takigakure Village, thousands of Takigakure ninjas dressed in uniform clothing and headbands have gathered.

Even the genin (lower-ranking ninja) have joined the battle, with the chunin (middle-ranking ninja) in the middle and the jonin (high-ranking ninja) at the front.

The two people standing at the very front were Takigakure Village Chief Shibuki Osamu and... that man named Kakuzu!

This is the strength of a ninja village; even a small village in a small country cannot be matched by any individual!

"A very grand welcoming ceremony..." Afei said casually, arms crossed.

As the sun set in the twilight, she withdrew her gaze, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yu's profile.

"You two stay here and provide support; I alone am sufficient."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu leaped down from the mountaintop, landing amidst the waterfall and treading on the rushing water. With just himself and his fan, he exuded an oppressive force that surpassed that of a thousand troops!

"Gulp!" In the army of Takigakure, many people swallowed hard, and some even placed amulets and other tokens in front of their chests to pray, creating an atmosphere of hoping for tomorrow to arrive!

Shibuki Yuichi's old eyes were bloodshot as he gripped his cane tightly, watching the man stroll leisurely towards him from the end of his line of sight!

Lin Yu's pace quickened, and he began to run towards the Takigakure army!

With no way out, Shibuki Yu swung his cane and shouted, "Attack!!"

"Awoooooo!!!" The Takigakure army roared deafeningly, charging forward like a swarm of locusts...

Uchiha Yu vs. all the ninjas of Takigakure, the battle begins!

Chapter 46 Uchiha Yu vs. Takigakure Ninja Army!

As the Takigakure ninjas charged, they hurled kunai, shuriken, and other ninja tools at Lin Yu.

Ignoring them, Lin Yu passed directly through the sea of ​​shuriken and kunai, approaching the enemy's first line of defense.

He leaped up, his knee slamming heavily into the chest of Taki Shinobu, who was charging at the front. Crack! Ribs shattered, and the contents of his chest cavity were smashed to pieces!

"Ah!!!" The man's eyes rolled back, and he died on the spot.

Boom!! His body shot backward like a cannonball, knocking the charging ninjas behind him off balance, only to be trampled to death by the ninjas who followed...

They didn't even die at the hands of the enemy; this is the horror of a battlefield with more than a thousand people!

This was especially true for Takigaku, who, due to his geographical advantage, had been far removed from the turmoil of war since the Warring States period.

But they were ninjas after all, and they stepped over the corpses of their comrades to surround them.

Lin Yu glanced at them...

Whoosh! A whole group of ninjas fell as they ran, some frozen in place, struggling for a moment before collapsing.

Don't misunderstand, this isn't some kind of Conqueror's Haki, it's just a regular Sharingan genjutsu. The moment their eyes meet, the weak will lose their ability to move...

Of these dozens of people, only three managed to get close enough to get a hand to them!

Then the battle maniac Uchiha Yu will grant them a death that symbolizes glory!

Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!

Whoosh! A white wind blade swept past... The heads of the two fell to the ground instantly. Another person reacted quickly and managed to block with his ninja sword at the critical moment, but the result was the same: his ninja sword and his head fell to the ground together.

In the blink of an eye, fifty ninjas had fallen, including several Jonin.

Such a sacrifice might be insignificant to the ninja villages of the five great nations, but for a small village like Takigakure, it is a heavy price to pay...

Thousands of people stopped charging in unison, their hands trembling so much that they could barely hold onto their ninja tools!

Lin Yu... took a step forward.

Whoosh! Thousands of people took a step back in unison.

If this were to get out, people would laugh their heads off.

Only those who experience it firsthand can truly understand the thrill!

Seeing their morale crumble so quickly after the battle began, the village chief of Takigakure slammed his cane on the ground and shouted, "Don't back down! The enemy is just one person! Don't be fooled by the rumors about him!! He's been wounded, he's bled!! He even lost an arm once!!"

Upon hearing this, the Takigakure ninjas no longer hesitated.

“Shibuki, you’re still as good as ever at stirring up people’s hearts. You should know what price those who have hurt him have paid, right? Even that Raikage traded one of his arms for it…” Kakuzu said beside Shibuki.

"Now we have no way out. No matter the cost, we must stop him outside Takigakure!!" Shibuki gripped his cane tightly and shouted again, "Don't engage in close combat rashly! Use ninjutsu! We have an overwhelming numerical advantage! Use group ninjutsu against him!"

"Yeah, yeah... use ninjutsu. With so many of us, why would we be stupid enough to rush in? We could drown him with just a spit from each of us."

At the front of the formation, dozens of Takigakure ninja skilled in water-style techniques formed hand seals together and unleashed a large-scale group water-style ninjutsu.

Water Release: River Technique!

Boom!! The water spewed from its mouth converged, transforming into a rushing river that surged towards Lin Yu...

Lin Yu could choose to let the river flow through, but there was no need for it...

He raised his hand and formed a 'noon' seal.

"Hmm? That's a Fire Release seal. Even if it's Yu's Fire Release, it's too much of a stretch to counter such a massive 'Group Water Release Technique'!" said Uzuki Yuhi, who was watching the battle. Her judgment was based on the power that Lin Yu's Fire Release had demonstrated in the past.
