Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Lin Yu opened the swaddling clothes and saw the life tablet hanging on the child's waist, which read—Kaguya Kimimaro.

"Could this truly be fate?"

Chapter 59 The Roots of Konoha, Boundless Darkness!

The Root organization's headquarters is located underground in Konoha Village.

Danzo sat in a chair, his usual cane placed to the side.

"The rise of the Hidden Shadow Village is an inevitable trend. Uchiha Yu has become the Sixth Kage of the ninja world, on par with the Five Kage. They are now recruiting rogue and exiled ninjas from various hidden villages. We must take this opportunity to plant our own seed. Yugao, do you know why we chose you, who has no experience?"

Danzo looked at the nine-year-old purple-haired girl, Uzuki Yugao, kneeling before him... After her older sister became a rogue ninja and was accused of killing her comrades, she suffered cold looks and bullying from her fellow villagers, making her life extremely difficult. Danzo and Root's hands finally reached out to her.

Because the essence of the root is darkness, when a girl who was originally innocent and carefree has her heart tainted with darkness, she has the potential to become a root.

Within the Root organization, there are quite a few children with this dark potential...

Young Yugao uttered words completely at odds with her childish voice: "I know, because my older sister was bewitched by the Shadow Uchiha Yu, killed her comrades, and became a rogue ninja of Konoha..."

She paused, then said hesitantly, "Lord Danzo wants me to persuade my sister to return to Konoha..."

"Wrong!" Danzo interrupted Yugao, emphasizing, "Your sister, Uzuki Yuhi, can never return to Konoha. From the moment she chose to betray Konoha, she was nailed to the pillar of Konoha's shame!"

"So, Yugao, you only have one mission: to join the Hidden Shadow Village as a Konoha rogue ninja and the younger sister of the Shadow Lady, Uzuki Yuhi, and to use every means to gain Uchiha Yu's trust, eventually find an opportunity to kill him and bring his eyes back to me!"

Uzuki Yugao clenched her small, delicate hand: "Can I complete that kind of mission? He's someone even the Hokage couldn't defeat."

Danzo said, "It's alright. Even the strongest person has weaknesses and is prone to letting their guard down around the people they trust most. At that point, killing them will be a piece of cake. Yugao, you don't need to rush. You can wait until you're older and use your beauty as a weapon. After all, you and your sister are both beauties in the making..."

Although Yugao was young, she understood Danzo's meaning: he wanted her to seduce him with her beauty. All the female ninjas in Root had undergone this kind of training in order to achieve their goal.

But for this conservative girl, this was ultimately...

Danzo, however, had an unparalleled understanding of human nature.

He offered a bait that Yugao couldn't refuse: "Yugao, if the mission succeeds, Konoha will spare your sister..."

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, but finally gave in: "But won't he suspect me?"

Danzo said, "I have arranged everything for you, Uzuki Yugao. Because of your sister's crime, you suffered discrimination and abuse in the village. When you could no longer bear it, you chose to defect from Konoha, and even..."

Danzo's gaze deepened, and he suddenly said sharply, "During your defection, you killed your childhood friend, Gekko Hayate!"

Whoosh! Uzuki Yugao's pupils suddenly froze: "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with Hayate!"

Danzo said in an unyielding tone, "This is not your business, it is Konoha's business! For the sake of Konoha, this insignificant sacrifice is necessary. I have already brought the person to you."

Boom!

Several Root members threw Moonlight Gale, who was bound hand and foot, onto the ground.

clang!

Danzo threw a ninja sword in front of Uzuki Yugao and shouted at her, who was staring in disbelief, "Kill him with your own hands!"

Uzuki Yugao's pupils trembled violently as she cried out emotionally, "No, no, I can't do it!!"

Danzo shouted, "Don't forget, when you were desperate, it was Root that gave you shelter!! And to survive in Root, you need the potential for 'darkness.' Come, let me see if you have that potential. This will determine the fate of your sister, Uzuki Yuhi!!"

"Huff, huff, huff!!!" Uzuki Yugao gasped for breath, collapsing to the ground in agony due to oxygen deprivation, clutching her heart.

"Xiyan..." The call came from before my eyes.

Uzuki Yugao raised her head.

"blast……"

"Xiyan, no!" Moonlight Gale said.

Tears welled in Yugao's eyes. She gritted her teeth, picked up her ninja sword, and shakily rose to her feet. She staggered to Moonlight Gale and raised the sword...

"Xiyan, no!!!" The Moonlight Gale intensified.

Tears streamed down Yugao Uzuki's face.

"Forgive me, Gale... Aaaaaah!!!"

Snap...!

The blade pierced...

Blood gushed from beneath Moonlight Gale.

"Don't fall into the boundless darkness alone, ah..." Moonlight Gale murmured, his unfocused pupils completely devoid of the color of life.

In the moonlit night, it vanished like a gust of wind... Moonlight Gale, once again fulfilling the destiny brought by his name.

Thump! Uzuki Yugao collapsed to the ground, staring at her bloodied hands, completely bewildered.

"Hmph, very good." Danzo stood up, gripping his cane. "From this moment on, you will become an unofficial member of Root. To be on the safe side, I will not implant the Root member's 'Tongue Vortex Root Seal' into you. You will maintain a high degree of freedom to complete this mission. But, whatever you do, do not disappoint me. For Konoha, for the ninja world, Uchiha Yu must die!"

He pinched Yugao Uzuki's chin, looking at her dried tear stains and dull eyes.

"Now, take this guy's head and report to the Hidden Shadows Village! Remember to injure yourself thoroughly; the Hidden Leaf Village will also send some pursuers as a token effort to kill you..."

And so, at Danzo's urging, Uzuki Yugao set off with Gekko Hayate's head on her journey, her silhouette already shrouded in boundless darkness.

After she left, Root's elite member 'Idera' appeared.

"Lord Danzo, the operation to assassinate Mikoto Uchiha's unborn child has failed..."

"What's going on? You can't even handle a pregnant woman!"

"No, it was Itachi Uchiha. He had the Sharingan at a young age. He discovered us and fought with us until the other Uchiha clan members arrived!"

"Uchiha Itachi, the son of Uchiha Fugaku, already has the Sharingan at the age of five? This is unprecedented in the history of the Uchiha..." Danzo's gaze became very deep.

"Lord Danzo, although the mission failed, we did kill three Uchiha members and extract their Sharingan!" Terai presented a container containing exactly six three-tomoe Sharingan eyes!

"Your identity wasn't exposed, was it?"

"Rest assured, Lord Danzo, everything will be fine!"

"Hmm, six, just enough to replenish the eyes my right arm is using up..."

Danzo removed the iron plates and bandages from his hands and refilled the six eyes he had used with Izanagi during his battle with Lin Yu.

Then, covering his right eye, which was wrapped in bandages, his gaze was deep: "Only the right eye is left. An ordinary Sharingan is no longer enough. I must obtain a Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Chapter 60 Orochimaru, wake up!

"Sister, I've had enough of that village. They beat and scold me all the time. I escaped. I want to be with you, sister..."

"Xi Yan, it's all my fault, I've made you suffer!"

Looking at her younger sister, who was disheveled, covered in wounds, and with her hair unkempt, Uzuki Yuhi burst into tears and stepped forward to embrace her.

Lin Yu stood not far behind, his Sharingan beneath the mask gleaming: "How are the Konoha ninjas who were chasing her doing?"

Ah Fei said, "They all committed suicide before they fell into our hands."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes: "In other words, torture can't be used to verify this either..."

Afei said, "What? You think there's something fishy about this?"

"Yeah, I always feel like something's not right..." Lin Yu stared at the unseeing head of Moonlight Gale on the ground.

This dark and bloody style of behavior made Lin Yu instinctively think of one person: Danzo, the spokesperson for the darkness of the ninja world!

Lin Yu stepped forward.

"Yu, this is Xiyan, you know, my younger sister," Xiyang introduced happily.

Upon seeing Lin Yu, Uzuki Yugao instinctively showed a timid expression.

"Xi Yan, don't be afraid, he's your...brother-in-law now." Xi Yang brushed a strand of hair from her temple and said shyly.

Xi Yan stared at Lin Yu for a few seconds, and then her eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent shapes on her expressionless face, and a charming smile spread across her lips: "Hello, brother-in-law."

Lin Yu stared straight at her: "Make a face, let me see..."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's strange request, Uozuki Yuhi looked puzzled.

"Hmm~" After a moment of preparation, Uzuki Yugao actually lowered her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and made a face.

Lin Yu's Sharingan focused on the base of Yugao's tongue.

No 'Tongue Vortex Root Extinction Seal' implanted by Root to prevent its members from leaking information was found.

"Why did you kill him?" Lin Yu pointed to the ground, revealing Moonlight Gale's head. Uzuki Yugao put away her face.

"Yu!" Xi Yang said anxiously.

"Hayate stopped me from leaving the village. If I don't do this, it will only create unnecessary entanglements in the future. I don't want to have any ties with Konoha anymore... Brother-in-law, do you think what I'm doing is right?"

On one side of Uzuki Yugao's small face, two completely different emotions, innocence and sickness, appeared simultaneously.

Adults who see this will think that this is a child who has suffered a severe emotional trauma and whose personality has become distorted...

Lin Yu gazed intently at Uzuki Yugao for a moment, then extended his hand and smiled, "Yugao, welcome to Dark Hidden Village!"

Xi Yan stretched out her small hand, but then withdrew it halfway, saying, "My hands are dirty, I'm afraid I'll get my brother-in-law's hands dirty..."

“Xi Yan, your brother-in-law won’t care about these things,” Xi Yang said.

Has everything changed? The gentle yet strong Uzuki Yugao has fallen into darkness...

Lin Yuzhen didn't do anything intentionally, nor did he think too much about it. He changed Maoyue Xiyang's fate on a whim, and he didn't expect it to turn out this way... After all, he was just a teenager.

But he didn't regret taking Uzuki Yuhi with him!

Things in this world can never go as planned... There are always many things in life that are beyond our control, and this is true even for the strong.

When you encounter a problem, just solve it.

But to be honest, if Lin Yu hadn't seen the Naruto world from an outsider's perspective, and hadn't witnessed the true Yugao—how loyal and devoted she was to the village—he might have been completely fooled by Danzo's elaborate double-cross.

Lin Yu firmly believed that a person's character could never be so distorted in such a short period of time!

Therefore, he had seen through Danzo's conspiracy!

He saw through it all... but didn't say it. He did indeed force Yuhi to betray Konoha, which was intolerable to Yugao, who deeply loved the village.

Danzo simply took advantage of this and amplified it.
