Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Chapter 478 Dawn!

When Yugito opened his eyes again, the miniature Two-Tails was gone from the second Pillar of Creation...

Orochimaru was fiddling with a jar.

This was a sealing tool he had entrusted to Mito Uzumaki to make beforehand, used to store the extracted Two-Tails. Next, he would send the Two-Tails to Amegakure to prevent the sealing process from being delayed.

"Yukito, you're awake... Is anything bothering you?"

"No, everything is normal. Is it (the Two-Tailed Beast) gone?"

"Yes, it has been replaced with a mini two-tailed fox. You can see it in the spiritual world..."

Yugito closes his eyes. As a ninja who has been a Jinchuriki for a long time, he can see the Tailed Beasts in his spiritual world.

The ferocious two-tailed Matatabi is gone, replaced by a miniature two-tailed creature that has shrunk by nearly a hundred times. It looks larger than it did outside, lying there wagging its tail.

"Gulp!" The teak person swallowed hard, squatted down, and reached out to stroke it... Although its body was covered with blue flames, it was not hot to the touch, and it was as soft and smooth as jelly. She couldn't help but squeeze it.

Suddenly, the little guy in front of me opened his bright blue pupils.

"Ah!" The teakman was startled and instinctively pulled his hand back.

But there was no hostility in the little guy's eyes.

"Meow~!" it meowed softly and stretched out its little paw towards the teak figure.

Teakman blushed, then reached out his little hand and grasped the little paw.

"Meow~!" the teakman imitated a kitten's meow.

……

On the recliner, the teak man opened his eyes again.

Orochimaru laughed and said, "You saw it?"

"Yes." Yugito nodded with a smile, stood up, and bowed deeply to Orochimaru: "Mr. Orochimaru, I am deeply grateful!"

Orochimaru said, "No need to thank me. I was just doing what Yu-kun entrusted to me. If you want to thank someone, go thank Yu-kun..."

"I haven't seen Onii-chan (brother) lately, and I don't know where Yugao has gone either. I wonder if something happened to her?" Yugito's face showed worry. Ever since Lin Yu brought her to Dark Hidden Village when she was young, she has always called Lin Yu Onii-chan and has never changed it.

Orochimaru thought to himself: It seems the information is still being kept under wraps, probably to avoid causing panic...

"It's nothing, they're busy outside, they'll be back in a while, don't worry," Orochimaru said.

"Oh! I really want to see them soon!" The teak man was not cunning, so he didn't think much of it.

Before leaving, Yugito gazed curiously at the tenth pillar of creation: "By the way, Orochimaru-san, I've been wondering what's inside this place since just now."

The culture medium inside the tenth pillar of creation is dark in color, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

Orochimaru smiled mysteriously and said, "Well... it's still developing. You'll find out when the time comes!"

“Oh! It takes even longer than nine mini tailed beasts… What could it be? I’m really curious,” said Yugito.

And so, Yugito escaped his fate as the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails and became the Jinchūriki of the Mini Two-Tails.

Orochimaru, carrying the jar that sealed the Two-Tails, rushed to Shin-Amegakure.

Akatsuki's hunt for the Tailed Beasts continues.

Somewhere in the Land of Earth.

Rumble! ...

The roar of the colliding waves and lava lingered for a long time...

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, possessed the terrifying 'Lava Release Chakra' mode. His opponent was Kisame Hoshigaki, the tailless tailed beast of Akatsuki!

A battle between two people with extremely large amounts of chakra would be incredibly intense and prolonged!

Rumble rumble rumble!!

With a final, deafening roar, amidst a spray of water, Kisame Hoshigaki emerged, carrying the greatsword Samehada. Roshi, having been defeated by Lava Release, lay prostrate on Samehada's blade—a scene almost identical to the original manga…

However, Kisame's partner is someone else entirely.

"How slow, Kisame. Is it really this difficult to deal with a half-dead old man?" On a large rock, a young man dressed in strange clothes and wearing strange earrings said lazily, resting his head on his arms.

Genbu of Akatsuki, the chief monk, is consistently ranked last in strength within Akatsuki, and his character is widely criticized. Yet, he is listed as a key protected figure by Akatsuki, and the reason for this remains a mystery.

"If you treat him like an ordinary old man, you've already lost. This guy is a monster in every sense of the word..."

"Moreover, if we hadn't been lucky enough that none of the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure were in the village, thus avoiding a direct conflict with Iwagakure, we might have ended up like Sasori and Troy, where someone had to make a sacrifice..."

The monk scoffed, "Capturing a mere dead creature (Troy) is nothing but trash..."

Swish!

Kisame pointed his greatsword Samehada at the monk: "Although I have the leader's orders not to kill you, I'll teach you a lesson, and the leader won't say anything. Monk... watch your mouth. Not everyone will spoil you when you're out in the world!"

The monk shrugged: "Alright, alright, I admit defeat, okay? Put down your big knife, let's call it a day and go home!"

Kisame bluntly said, "Hmph, I really don't get along with you. When we get back, I'll ask the leader to change my group. I'd rather be in a group with that scoundrel Tobi than be with an arrogant brat like you..."

The monk sneered, "That's assuming A-Fei and the others have the same good luck as before."

"Hmm?" Kisame glanced meaningfully at the monk. Accustomed to darkness and intrigue, he instinctively sensed the ill intent hidden in the monk's smile...

Could this kid have leaked their whereabouts to Iwagakure in order to get revenge for his previous argument with Saikawa?

Along with Akatsuki, Saikawa and Tobi's team were also dispatched to Iwagakure on a mission... Their target was the 'Five-Tails'.

Because of Tobi, who was holding them back, Saikawa's team was moving much slower than Kisame's team.

Ah Fei said, "Senior, this is so unfair..."

Cai Chuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Afei said, "The other seniors' goal is to hunt one tailed beast, but we only have two... We barely escaped from the clutches of Kirigakure and successfully brought the Three-Tails back to the organization, and now we have to fight the even more terrifying Five-Tails. Ugh! Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end. Maybe we should just run away. It's better to be a deserter than to lose our lives!"

Thud! Cai Chuan stopped in his tracks, his fists clenched tightly.

deserter……

These two words were an indelible stain on Saikawa's early life. In Iwagakure, he was once known as the "shame of the Kamisui-ryu" and the "deserter Ishikawa"!

"Senior??" Afei asked, puzzled.

“Ah Fei, if you want to run away, then run away. I won’t take your life…” Cai Chuan said to Ah Fei behind him, then muttered to himself, “But I have sworn that I will never run away again in this lifetime!”

Caichuan continued forward.

The following day, they encountered Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure!

boom!

The battle is imminent!

Chapter 479 The Fall of the Big Dipper!

boom!!

After colliding with steam, the two figures separated!

Cai Chuan's skin was dark red, and hot steam rose from his body. He stared solemnly at the man opposite him!

The man's name was 'Han', the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure. He wore bright red armor, a red straw hat, and a dark scarf that covered half of his face. Steam was also rising from Han's body!

Han also possesses the "Boiling Release" technique, and like Saikawa, he can use the power of Boiling Release to heat his blood and chakra to the boiling point, allowing his speed and strength to undergo a qualitative leap!

Even if he wasn't a Jinchūriki, Han's taijutsu and superhuman strength were among the best in the ninja world!

If the power of the tailed beasts were added, Han's strength would be even more terrifying!

After Onoki's death, his son, Kouta, proposed that Han succeed him as the Fourth Tsuchikage. However, Han was not interested in the position and declined Kouta's suggestion. As always, he worked hard and made contributions to Iwagakure in secret!

This indirectly shows that Han's strength is above that of the current Earth Shadow!

Even with the bloodline of the Upper Stream and the three bloodline limits he possesses, Saikawa doesn't dare say he's guaranteed victory. He's even prepared to die for his cause!

Boiling Release: Steaming Blood Martial Body!

The steam emanating from Cai Chuan's body intensified.

Lava Release: Titan Armguard!

The lava flowing from his arms transformed into a majestic arm armor! This was the technique he used to deliver the final blow to the Three-Tails!

From beneath Han's straw hat came a deep voice: "Boiling Release, Lava Release, and the Explosion Release you used earlier, your blind right eye, the headband of a rogue ninja from my village, if I'm not mistaken, you must be Lord 'Ishikawa' who defected from my village thirty years ago!"

"Huh? Ishikawa??" Tobi asked from behind.

Saikawa said, "From the moment the village abandoned me, I abandoned the name 'Ishikawa,' along with the 'Will of Stone'!"

"Oh! So you changed your name!" Afei said.

Han said, "The Third Hokage (Onoki) expressed regret over what happened to you. At that time, he had just become the Tsuchikage and was a radical militant. After that, he regretted his decision more than once, admitted his mistake, and cleared your name!"

Here, we must mention an event from the past in Iwagakure.

That was during the Second Shinobi World War, when Iwagakure was besieged by multiple forces and was in dire straits!

In an effort to reverse the tide of the war, the Iwagakure leadership proposed selecting elite members from the Explosion Squad to carry out missions that would take the enemy down with them, utilizing the destructive power of Explosion Release ninjutsu!

Because it was a mission where death was certain, the members of the demolition squad were often hesitant and apprehensive.

Until Deidara, the former Iwagakure Explosion Demon and Deidara's grandfather, volunteered and was regarded as a role model by the Iwagakure leadership... Under his example, the elite members of the Explosion Squad volunteered one after another!

The young Ishikawa was one of the many who volunteered at the time!

He bid farewell to his wife and embarked on a journey to die for the village. But on the eve of the operation, while the demolition team members were drinking to bolster their courage, a colleague inadvertently revealed a major secret after drinking!

The higher-ups in Iwagakure had concealed the fact that Ishikawa's wife was pregnant!

Cai Chuan tossed and turned all night, but ultimately couldn't bear to leave his wife and unborn child. Before he could act, he ran away!

Because of his escape... the demolition team members, who had finally made up their minds to die, wavered again and deserted one after another!

In the end, it was Deidara, the Explosion Demon of Iwagakure, who single-handedly turned the tide, taking two thousand enemy ninjas down with him, reversing the tide of defeat, and becoming a hero of Iwagakure!

Conversely, Ishikawa became the target of public criticism for leading the escape!
