Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"From now on, let's travel together as three sisters, including Hinata!"

"Hinata," Yumeng recalled, "You mean... the girl with the Byakugan during the Chunin Exams, right?"

Xue nodded: "Yes, she is my sister, and also someone I want to protect!"

Youmeng said boldly, "Since she's your sister, then she's my sister too!"

And so, following Hinata, Yuuki gained another inseparable girl by her side: Jiraiya Yumu!

Years later, one of the three sisters got married and lived a life devoted to her husband and daughters.

The other two sisters traveled the world together with their swords, becoming female ninja warriors who struck fear into the hearts of evil people!

Of course... that's a story for much later.

When Xiaoxue returned to Tianyu Pavilion that night, she found that Yu was not asleep and was sitting in the living room.

Xue paused for a moment, then quickly walked towards the bedroom.

"Xue'er, do you have a moment?" Yu called out to her. "I have a few words to say to you about your mother and your Aunt Lin."

"..." Xue stopped in her tracks, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

After pondering for a long time, Yu lit a cigarette and finally told Xiaoxue something he had kept hidden for many years.

"Snow... Actually, Dad wasn't originally from this world."

"!" Xue looked up in shock, her eyes wide with astonishment. She stared intently at Yu until she was sure... Yu wasn't joking. Only then did she forcefully suppress her turbulent emotions and ask, "Mom... does she know about this?"

Yu said, "I know... I told her a long time ago. She is the only person among the people around me to whom I personally told the truth."

"How could this be... Dad, what about your body..."

"Originally belonged to a ninja named Uchiha Obito!"

“Obito…” Xiaoxue thought to herself: No wonder Dad has two names, Uncle Madara and Uncle Minato, and likes to call Dad Obito. Mom and the others like to call Dad Yu. So that’s why.

"Where did the original Obito go...? Is he... dead?"

"My father and his soul were swapped, about 11 years ago, at the end of Konoha Year 47..."

Xiaoxue looked up, her voice trembling involuntarily: "Then, will it be switched back?"

Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen..."

"Phew." Xue breathed a long sigh of relief. "So, does this have anything to do with Aunt Lin?"

"Although Obito's soul is no longer in this body, some obsessions still remain within it. Your Aunt Rin is Obito's greatest obsession."

"So... Dad's feelings for Aunt Lin stemmed from that obsession?"

Yu nodded: "Yes, you might think this is just an excuse Dad made up to marry Lin as a concubine, but that's the truth..."

After a long silence, Xue asked, "Does Aunt Lin... know about this?"

Yu said, "I haven't told her yet..."

Xue said decisively, "Then let's not tell her!"

Yu was surprised; Xue rarely showed such a firm stance on certain matters.

Xue said, "Some things... are cruel even if you know the truth. Since we've made a mistake, let's just leave it at that and not cause any more harm!"

Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you..."

Xue's expression softened: "Dad kept this a secret for so many years. It must have taken a lot of courage for him to tell me this time..."

"Hmm... So, are you willing to forgive your father?"

"What forgiveness? I don't blame you, I just... don't want Mom to suffer."

"Dad promises you, he will never accept any other woman, and the one he loves most will always be your mother..."

"Yes, I will definitely keep this secret for Daddy..." Xiaoxue said with bright eyes, "Also, after tonight, let's pretend that you never told us about this!"

With a daughter like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Yu nodded gently: "Okay..."

Chapter 596 The Feast of the Present World, the Spokesperson of Darkness!

Two days later, the leader of the Samurai Kingdom, Mifune, led his troops to the Imperial City of Laiyu.

On the Feather God Platform, located in the center of the Imperial City, Feather, the leader of the Ninja Kingdom, and Mifune, the leader of the Samurai Kingdom, shook hands and announced their alliance!

The Ninja Kingdom and the Samurai Kingdom were in an uproar... The alliance between the ninjas and the samurai, the two strongest military groups, had epoch-making significance!

But this is definitely not good news for traditional forces!

The daimyo of the two great nations of Earth and Water, who survived the Ninja War, facilitated a secret meeting between the leaders of the Land of Wind, which was still recovering from the pain of losing more than half of its soldiers, and many smaller nations!

To avoid attracting attention, the secret meeting was held on an unnamed island shrouded in fog within the Land of Water. They could only bring their trusted followers and could not make a big fuss about it.

The initiator and host of the talks, the Daimyo of the Land of Water, Date Masamune, was a fair-skinned man with a somewhat scholarly appearance. He said coldly, "Why did we have to form an alliance at this crucial moment when we were trying to win over the samurai? It can be assumed that the Shadow Uchiha Yu discovered our intentions and turned the tables on us!"

The daimyo of the Land of Earth, Toyotomi Hideki, who was sitting with him on the east side, had dark skin and a calm face. He said without a smile, "Judging from the various actions of the Ninja Country in recent years, Uchiha Yu is not the kind of small fry who can only spew water and fire! Judging from this situation, we will become more and more passive in the future, and be led by the nose by the ninjas!"

Date Masamune said, "Therefore, we must unite and find a way to punish the Ninja Country, otherwise sooner or later, we, the rulers, will become the ruled. Akechi (the new daimyo of the former Land of Fire) and Takeda (the former daimyo of the Land of Lightning) are living examples!"

"..." All the daimyo of the small countries remained silent, and couldn't help but turn their gazes to the daimyo of the Land of Wind to the south, Uesugi Kenwa!

The Land of Wind was the most economically backward of the top five nations. During the Ninja Wars, it lost a large portion of its territory to Nagato's devastating ninjutsu, further crippling its development.

But even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. Even though it has suffered heavy losses, the Kingdom of Wind is still stronger than most of the small countries present!

Uesugi Kenkaku was an overweight, greasy-faced fat man... The decline of the Land of Wind did not affect his comfortable life.

Date Masamune said, "Uesugi, you should be able to see the situation clearly, right? Ninjas are a bunch of ungrateful and perverse scourges!"

Under his sharp gaze, Uesugi Kensuke took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his chubby face: "Actually, whether it causes trouble or not is no longer the most important thing..."

"The ninjas' wealth, strength, and prestige have all reached unprecedented heights! Realistically, going against them would only be pointless!"

At this moment, the daimyo of a small country said, "That's right. In the past, the ninjas needed us to supply them even with the food they needed to fill their stomachs. Now, their grain yield per acre is several times that of ours. They can survive without us!"

Another daimyo from a small country chimed in, "We have nowhere left... where we can control the Ninja Country!"

"As everyone knows, the war that Akatsuki launched not long ago was quelled by the Ninja Kingdom. That Shadow Uchiha Yu enjoys considerable prestige among the people of various countries. Although he doesn't have the power to command a hundred responses, the people will certainly not cooperate if we oppose them now..."

Seeing that everyone's opinions were unanimously in favor, the Land of Earth's Daimyo, Toyoda Hideki, said, "But don't forget, there was a rumor from years ago! That the Akatsuki organization was actually controlled behind the scenes by the Shadow Uchiha Yu!"

After a moment of silence, someone said, "But rumors... are just rumors after all!"

Date Masamune said, "It's no longer just a rumor... We have solid intelligence from 'inside' the ninja country! Former Akatsuki member, Uchiha Shisui, has close ties to the Shadows!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't that Uchiha Shisui already dead?!"

Date Masamune said, "No, he's still alive! Not only is he alive, but he's also been hidden by the Shadows as a secret weapon!"

"This……"

At this moment, Toyotomi Hideaki asked, "Also... do you all remember the Yuki-onna from Taki-no-kami?"

"Snow Woman! I've even seen a portrait of that Snow Woman! She's absolutely stunning!"

Toyotomi Hideaki said, "The true identity of the Snow Woman is the former Konoha ninja 'Kurenai Yuhi'! She is now a teacher at the Ninja Academy in the Imperial City of the Ninja Country. On the eve of Konoha Village's announcement of its secession from the Land of Fire, the Shadow was seen traveling with her within the Land of Fire's territory!"

"So... the death of the former Daimyo of Takigakure is also related to the Shadow?!"

At that moment, Date Masamune looked at the man who remained silent at the last seat, Kitano Takeshi... the current daimyo of Takigakure.

"Kitano, I remember that although Shadow betrayed the country of Taki, he was still regarded as a hero by the people of Taki. But he protected the demoness who killed the former king, and even... the demoness may have been instigated by him. With such a wolf in sheep's clothing in power, can you, as the king, tolerate this?"

Takeshi Kitano clenched his fists... How could he possibly tolerate this? Back then, he sent Grand Marshal Zatoichi to subdue the Shadow, only to receive news of Zatoichi's defeat and surrender, along with two famous swords!

Large swathes of land in the Land of Waterfall were also taken over by the Ninja Kingdom, including the present-day Yuu-o Castle, which was originally the site of the Hidden Takigakure Village!

Takeshi Kitano declared: "If I could do it, I would definitely be the first to personally kill that traitor!!"

Date Masamune's lips curled up: "It seems... the concerns of everyone here are mainly due to the current power of the Ninja Kingdom! If I were to tell you frankly that I already have a way to dismantle the Ninja Kingdom, wouldn't you all be able to unite as one?"

sand!

At this moment, some powder fell off the surface of Date Masamune's face, revealing a tiny crack, but he smoothed it out in an instant!

Those were characteristics unique to those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique!

Thousands of miles away from the meeting place, in a dark-toned private hideout, on a table, there is a group photo of a young Kabuto Yakushi and his adoptive mother, Nono Yakushi.

Anko Mitarashi sat on the bed, her vertical pupils flashing with an eerie light. Through the Impure World Reincarnation, her words, spoken by Masamune Date, echoed throughout the hall: "Actually, destroying the prestige built up by that shadow is very simple! As long as we spread the word among the people that the Fourth Shinobi World War and Akatsuki's annihilation of the country were all a staged drama orchestrated by the Shinobi Country itself..."

"We don't need to be too forceful at the beginning, otherwise it will be too obvious. We need to take a slow and steady approach, brainwashing them step by step..."

"The masses are foolish. As long as we keep repeating the same idea over and over again, they will eventually believe it..."

"After destroying the prestige established by the Shadows, our next step is to..."

……

After the talks concluded.

Mitarashi Azuko... soaking naked in a red and green liquid, hissing! The pool was crawling with small white snakes.

Whoosh! She gently wiped her fair arm, muttering to herself, "Heh, the Ninja Alliance, this wind has blown at just the right time. Uchiha Yu, to kill you, I, Yakushi Kabuto, will not let any opportunity slip by..."

"Exacerbating the conflict between the traditional nation and the ninja nation is just one part of my new plan. The real trump card will be cultivated from within the ninja nation itself. It's about time for you to make your appearance..."

Hey!

Light footsteps sounded, and a girl in red with pink hair emerged from the shadows—it was Edo Tensei Haruno Sakura!

Chapter 597 A Feast for the Present World, Amidst the Clinking of Glasses

It has been some time since Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure submitted to the Ninja Kingdom and established their respective vassal states. Now that Yu has returned from planting trees in the Twin Moon Space and has some free time, he summoned the leaders of the vassal states, namely the Five Kage, to Yu's Imperial City for talks.

Four figures were already seated at the pentagonal table.

Kakashi, the Fifth Hokage and also the First Hokage of the South.

Mei Terumi, the fifth Mizukage and also the first Hokujo (Northern King).

The fourth generation of Tsuchikage, who is also the yellow earth of the first generation of the Eastern King.

The fourth Kazekage, who was also the first Western King, Rasa.
