Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Let's turn back the clock to nineteen years ago.

During the darkest period of the Blood Mist in Kirigakure, the Minazuki clan suffered persecution.

Ao's father was the head of the Minazuki clan. Knowing that disaster was imminent, he rallied the surviving clan members to seal all their Ice Release chakra into their infant daughter's body, and then made arrangements for Ao's future!

Qing was raised by a middle-aged couple.

Her childhood was not wealthy, but she was very happy.

At that time, she was not as cold-hearted as she is now.

But as she grew older, the ice seal within her body gradually broke, and she had no idea what that meant.

When Qing was twelve years old, seeing that the time was right, her adoptive father handed her a letter written in blood!

The blood-written letter detailed the long-standing persecution of the Minazuki clan by Kirigakure. Every word was filled with resentment and hostility, and the bloody handprints at the end were left by the clansmen before their deaths!

They hope that Ao will inherit this hatred and make Kirigakure pay for its blood debt!

Qing has forgotten how she felt when she read the letter; she only remembers her small, tender hands trembling uncontrollably!

That was a weight her life could not bear!

What happened next made Qing feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

Her adoptive parents committed suicide in front of her, using their deaths to plead with her to fulfill the long-cherished wish of their clan!

It turns out that they were also members of the Minazuki clan, but due to their limited aptitude, they did not possess the bloodline limit of Ice Release!

Having lost everything, Qing was left all alone, with only the power and hatred imposed upon her. She wandered aimlessly through the endless snow for a long, long time, until, exhausted and cold, she collapsed in the snowy field...

The one who saved her was a scholar who lived in seclusion deep in the mountains.

The scholar suffered from a congenital eye disease and could not see. He lived in darkness but longed for light. His favorite thing to do was to grow flowers.

At that time, Qing experienced a major upheaval and became withdrawn...

But the scholar enlightened her day after day and took meticulous care of her.

Three years later, Qing finally opened her heart and fell in love with the scholar.

But disaster struck again and again when Qing was diagnosed with an incurable disease!

It turned out that the excessive Ice Release chakra had exceeded the limits her body could withstand...

Her hair, eyes, eyebrows, and even blood all turned blue; beneath the beauty lay the withering of life!

Even if she tries every possible way to prolong her life, she will not live past the age of 20 at most!

Fate is so unfair!

The seeds of hope have just been sown, but their blooming season is destined to never arrive!

Since they couldn't stay together forever, she chose to leave without saying goodbye...

Before her life completely faded away, she wanted to find the meaning of her existence!

As a tool for the clan's revenge, faithfully fulfilling its mission?

Back then, when she was still an infant, she had absolutely no sense of that blood feud!

All her people left her with was immense power and hatred, a power that was draining her life and stealing her love!

Even the slightest warmth of kinship is built on exploitation!

Just as she said, she doesn't hate Kirigakure at all!

Therefore, revenge is not the meaning of her life!

One day later, Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, extended an olive branch to her!

"Since you can't find meaning in your existence, why not dedicate yourself to Akatsuki's cause first..."

It turns out that Pain had told Ao about the true purpose of the Akatsuki organization a long time ago!

"I will sever the chain of hatred in this world! I will ensure that the tragedy of the Minazuki clan is never repeated! Life is often wasted in wandering. If you cannot find the meaning of your existence for the time being, you might as well strive for this goal first. At least it will be proof that you have existed!"

"But I only have a few years left to live..."

"It's alright. After the Three-Tails is resurrected, we will immediately begin collecting the Tailed Beasts and will definitely let you show your worth... After your death, your name will be engraved on Akatsuki's milestone, which will be proof that you existed!"

After considering it, Qing said, "I will do what you asked, but at the same time, I will continue to search for the meaning of my existence!"

"This is your freedom. Actually, it's not just you. We are all searching for the meaning of our lives, but what we truly want may only become clear at the moment of death..."

With the mindset of 'finding the meaning of one's existence, and if not finding it, not letting life go to waste,' Qing joined Akatsuki and has been active as the Azure Dragon of Akatsuki ever since... Her life is about to come to an end.

At the end of her life, her short life flashed by like a revolving lantern.

Finally, in her fading vision, she saw that blurry profile: "Indeed... only at the moment of death can one see clearly what one truly wants!"

Boo!

Ice Phoenix, carrying Feathered High, soared off in a certain direction...

There came the divine throne of the Heavenly Battle, its body shrouded in flames, rushing towards them!

"Oh no!!" Terumi thought to herself, ready to give chase.

boom!!!

But a thick ice wall rose up, completely blocking her way!

Ice Phoenix landed, put down Yu Gao, and flew into the sky!

Tendou extinguished the flames on his body, watched the Ice Phoenix depart, and then, carrying the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata, headed towards the sea!

"Wow!"

After a loud phoenix cry, the immortal ice phoenix vanished into blue specks of light in the sky and drifted away into the distance!

As he ran, Tian Dou gazed at the point of light drifting away into the distance and solemnly said, "My comrade, may your soul find its true resting place..."

Thousands of miles away, deep in a snow-capped mountain.

A down-on-his-luck scholar miraculously regained his sight!

Just as he was in utter astonishment.

In the flowerpot by the bedside, which had long since withered, a 'ice lotus' bloomed!

He reached out and touched the ice lotus, and the language of its flowers echoed in his heart.

"The meaning of my existence is to become your light..."

The scholar was in tears.

Chapter 486 A Step-by-Step Thrill!

Shinju Tento brought the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, back to Akatsuki's base, along with news of Ao's death.

Kisame sighed, "Oh dear, what a pity that beauty is so envied by heaven..."

Pain said, "Akatsuki will forever remember Ao's contributions. Now, let's begin sealing the Six-Tails!"

Rumble! The demonic statue of the heretic slowly rose.

"Our chakra has just recovered and is about to be depleted again. Without Ao, this will probably take even longer..."

"Shut up and get to work."

And so, Akatsuki began sealing the Six-Tails!

Thousands of miles away.

The Land of Iron, the Valley of the Underworld!

The sisters, Xiyang and Xiyan, have been staying here for a long time.

That night, Xi Yan said to Xi Yang, whose eyes were red and swollen, "Sister, let me take over. You haven't slept for almost three months. If this continues, someone will die!"

Xi Yang shook his head and said, "I can hold on a little longer! If I fall asleep this time, I'll be sleeping very soundly. If Xiao Xue uses her divine power at this moment and I can't protect her in time, I'll hate myself!"

Xi Yan looked at her sister with heartache. No matter how much she didn't want it, the more time passed, the slimmer the chances of Xiao Xue and the other two surviving became. This was an indisputable fact!

The night was long, and the setting sun finally couldn't hold on any longer; its eyelids grew incredibly heavy, and it looked as if it was about to close...

call out!

Suddenly, a miniature vortex appeared in the void ahead!

Xi Yan exclaimed, "Sister! Sister! Look!"

The setting sun suddenly perked up, its right eye transforming into a kaleidoscope as it focused on the vortex above!

—Transcribing the Seal of Divine Might!

call out!

The miniature vortex continued to expand, but the 'spatial correction force' was simply too strong, and eventually the setting sun's pupil power was exhausted... and the vortex finally disappeared!

Sunset pounded the ground with his fist, saying unwillingly, "I failed... If it were Yu, he could have done it! It was me, I'm so useless!"

Xi Yan's eyes reddened: "Sister! Don't worry, brother-in-law has only used two of the three times he sealed the Divine Power of Transmission in Xiao Xue's eyes. There's one more time left. I believe he will definitely come when he uses it next time!"

In the Hidden Ninja Kingdom, within the Feathered Emperor City.

Upon Tobirama's return, he successfully located the place where Madara sealed Hashirama. However, as expected, the seal was beyond his power to break. So he left the Flying Thunder God mark there and returned.

I learned about what Lin Yu had gone through from Mito.

Tobirama said, "I never expected something like this to happen... It's really unrealistic to expect Madara to turn back!"

Orochimaru said, "Everyone, Akatsuki has successfully obtained the Six-Tails... The remaining tailed beasts are the Seven-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails, but these three tailed beasts are currently in Yu-kun's space-time. To open the space-time, it must be done through Yu-kun, or... through Yu-kun's eyes!"

Tobirama, with his keen intellect, immediately grasped Orochimaru's underlying meaning: "You mean, Nagato might come to steal the Shadow's eyes? Isn't he one of the Shadow's subordinates?"

Orochimaru said, "When I sent the Two-Tails to Akatsuki, the first time I saw Nagato, I knew that his eye power was no longer what it used to be. In addition, the Gedo Mazo within him has sealed the power of six tailed beasts. To be honest, in terms of raw strength, Nagato at this moment is probably even stronger than Madara!"

"When a person has power and ambition, it's not surprising that he will do anything. Therefore, we must plan ahead and buy time for Yu Jun to wake up!"

"The safest method now is to use Yu-kun's eyes to release the Seven-Tails and Eight-Tails and hand them over to Nagato, with the aim of stabilizing him..."

Mito said, "So, you intend to leave the Nine-Tails behind?"

Orochimaru said, "We must preserve the Nine-Tails... If Nagato gathers all the tailed beasts and revives the Ten-Tails before Yu-kun wakes up, then the situation will be completely out of control!"
