Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Hell Realm!

boom!

The King of Hell rose up, his mouth wide open.

Orochimaru poured both Anko's body and soul into it.

rustling...

With a chewing motion, the red bean wobbled out of Yama's mouth, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Red Bean, welcome back..." Orochimaru greeted with a smile.

"Orochimaru...Sensei?" Anko froze, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Orochimaru before her. She hugged him tightly, crying, "Sensei, Sensei, I've always wanted to see you again!"

At that moment, something soft seemed to be touched in Orochimaru's heart.

He couldn't help but raise his soft hand to wipe away the tears on Hongdou's cheeks, his heart filled with complex emotions: Love is the pleasure produced by the accelerated secretion of adrenaline, which stimulates the production of dopamine in the hippocampus. This is the result of my research. But how do I explain this 'heartfelt' feeling? Love... it really is something that is hard to explain.

"Anko, from now on... let's study love together." Orochimaru extended an invitation to his former disciple, Anko.

"Huh!?" Hongdou was startled, then her face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly, whispering, "Hey... I'd love to."

Chapter 623 Three Inches of Human World, Ultimate Backhook!

In the most confidential meeting room of Feather Emperor City.

Yu himself, along with members of the council, gathered together.

Tobirama was absent because he was guarding the Divine Tree in the Twin Moon Space.

Mito was four months pregnant, her belly was protruding and her pregnancy was obvious. She took out a pill from the small bottle and chewed it in her mouth.

The newly recruited pharmacist Kabuto stood quietly behind the small table, looking completely harmless.

Hashirama exclaimed, "It's unbelievable that such an innocent child could cause such chaos in the ninja world!"

Madara said, "Hashirama, don't be fooled by his current appearance. He's just changed his skin. Before, he had two poisonous snakes hanging from his butt!"

Mito agreed, saying, "I've met him in person, and he's an incredibly treacherous and cunning fellow."

Yu said, "That's all in the past. He's our partner now..."

At this moment, Douwen smiled shrugged and spoke in a childish voice: "It's alright, it's alright. The evaluations from the seniors are very fair. I did so many excessive things, so it's only right that I was reprimanded. You may think I'm being wise after the event, but I have always held you all in awe. Standing before you now, I am truly humbled yet honored. Please allow me to calm my excited emotions..."

As he spoke, Dou took off his glasses, took out a rag, and carefully wiped the lenses.

Yu picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Mito, then asked Kabuto with great interest, "Enough with the small talk, tell me about the backup plan you left behind. What kind of backup plan is it?"

Kabuto put his glasses back on and said solemnly, "Reporting to Emperor Yu, this is a contingency plan that is enough to overthrow the Ninja Kingdom and even the existence of ninjas themselves!"

"Oh? Is it that terrifying..." Yu raised an eyebrow, took a sip of red tea, leaned back on the sofa, and crossed his legs: "Now that you've abandoned the darkness and come to the light, and you're here, what's the next step?"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said, "The backup plan was prepared for this... For this reason, I developed the 'External Brain'!"

"Hmm?" Yu frowned slightly and asked, "What is that thing?"

Kabuto said, "I cloned my brain, inputted the relevant memories, and stored them in a specific container to control everything on my behalf!"

Yu thought to himself, "Then just find that brain and destroy it, right..."

“It’s impossible.” Kabuto shook his head and said, “Before I activated the external brain, considering that the main body would fail and the information about the external brain would be leaked, I deleted the relevant memories of its location from my mind! In other words, even I don’t know where it is, but it is definitely in a place that cannot be easily found, and there are a large number of ‘sub-brains’ as a smokescreen!”

"..." Yu frowned: "Tell me, what do you want to achieve with that external brain-computer interface? How can it be considered to overthrow the ninja nation and the ninjas themselves?"

"Yes!" Kabuto responded politely, adjusting his glasses and organizing his thoughts. "To counter the Ninja Kingdom's supremely powerful system, we must rely on an even more supremely powerful system. To counter Lord Yu Huang, who possesses supremely powerful chakra, we must rely on even more supremely powerful chakra. Based on this strategic thinking, I have formulated two plans..."

"First, the plan to gradually encroach upon the great powers; second, the plan to disperse and recover chakra... Moreover, the first plan serves the second plan. After all, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is an existence that surpasses even the great powers, a fact already proven by Six Paths Nagato. Therefore, recovering chakra is even more important!"

"Let's talk about the Great Power Grab Plan first. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, there were only two truly great powers left in the world: the Land of Earth and the Land of Water. In order to control these two great powers, I killed the Land of Earth's daimyo, 'Toyotomi Hideki,' and the Land of Water's daimyo, 'Date Masamune,' and resurrected them using the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."

Hashirama exclaimed in shock: "You killed the daimyo of both the Earth and Water Kingdoms!!!"

Kabuto said, "Yes... Not only are those daimyo heavily guarded, but they are also very cautious. They have countless substitutes and countless residences. The one in the daimyo's mansion is not the real body. I don't know any space-time ninjutsu. To find them accurately, kill them without anyone noticing, and then replace them with the Impure World Reincarnation to deceive everyone, you have no idea how much effort I had to put in!"

At this moment, Madara asked, "Are they still under your control through the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Kabuto shook his head and said, "No... that would be meaningless. I implanted 'spells' into their brains beforehand, making them act according to a specific will, and manipulating them to form the seal to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation."

He turned to Madara and said, "Lord Madara, it's all thanks to you that I knew about this backdoor in the Impure World Reincarnation. It allows them to remain beyond my control, and even if the Impure World Reincarnation is lifted, they won't disappear and will act according to the instructions transmitted by the external brain..."

Yu asked, "What is the content of the instruction?"

Kabuto said, "It's nothing more than gradually gaining control of the wealth, military strength, and popular support of the two great nations of Earth and Water..."

"Not long ago, during the Ninja Alliance, on a small island in the Land of Water, the daimyo of various countries held a secret meeting. In fact, I was the one who presided over it behind the scenes. The core content of that meeting was to dismantle the Ninja Kingdom, especially the prestige that Lord Feather Emperor had built up during the Ninja War, by brainwashing the people!"

Mito put down his teacup and said, "So what if our prestige is undermined? Nowadays, ninjas can survive without relying on commoners..."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses: "Indeed... Ninjas can survive without civilians these days, but if they want to expand their scale, they can't do without civilians!"

"..." Mito frowned.

Kabuto said, "After all, ninjas are just ordinary people who have mastered the method of using chakra. If ordinary people master chakra, they may also become ninjas. Among these people, there may even be future pillars of society. The purpose of undermining prestige is to cut off the path for the ninja country's future expansion!"

"..." Yu was speechless. The series of post-war measures to benefit the people that the Ninja Kingdom was currently implementing were meant to improve its public image and pave the way for future expansion. But instead, it directly cut off its escape route.

Kabuto continued, "Of course... manipulating public opinion takes a very long time to show results. That meeting was just something I arranged on a whim."

"Most importantly, of course, is financial resources... Only by monopolizing the financial resources of a major power can I achieve my goal of reclaiming chakra!"

Yu's expression was no longer as indifferent as before. He straightened his posture and leaned forward, saying, "What does wealth have to do with you taking back your chakra?"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses again, his youthful face now filled with profound wisdom: "Wealth is the driving force that keeps the world running. Powerful ninjas like you here may not care much about money, but you cannot deny this objective fact—'As long as there is a chain of interests, countless people will act spontaneously, regardless of who they are working for. After all, living is the cost, and pursuing profit is instinct!'"

"Yes, chakra is the power to destroy the world, while money is the power to manipulate it! I used the gold exchange shops that Lord Orochimaru established in his early days as a wealth transfer station, and built 'chakra furnaces' underground in various countries as tools for recycling chakra! In addition, I developed the 'Wakusan Nest' to mass-produce 'clone weapons' using the recycled chakra!"

"How exactly does it work?"

"It's very simple. Just throw living people into the furnace, and their chakra will be drawn back into the container. Ah, if you ask where these living people come from, this world has just been ravaged by war. There are countless displaced people and undocumented immigrants outside the system! Even if these people suddenly disappear, no one will investigate. So I chose to start with them..."

"And what about cloned weapons?"

"It's a clone... Uchiha Shin, whom you are very familiar with, Lord Feather Emperor!"

"Uchiha Shin? And where is he in person?"

"I've already disposed of him. I've obtained his complete genetic map, so he's useless now. Keeping him around would only be a hindrance..."

Yu thought to herself: No wonder the Ninja Kingdom has been searching everywhere for Uchiha Shin all these years without success. He was already dead...

Kabuto said, "The Kyu-wa furnace mass-produces Uchiha Shin clones. Their chakra is provided by the furnace. For every hundred living people melted down, it is enough to provide chakra for one clone."

Wow!

"What do you take human life for? You're a complete beast!"

Upon hearing this, Mito lost her temper and splashed the tea directly onto Kabuto's face.

The private conversation paused, and Mito said, "Xiaoyu... your godmother isn't feeling well, so she'll head back first."

"Yes, go back and rest now, godmother."

"Water Girl, I'll take you home!" Hashirama stood up and whispered to Yu, "I'm sorry, Yu... your godmother is pregnant, so she's more sensitive than usual!"

Yu smiled faintly: "It's alright, I understand."

Hashirama and Mito left.

Bang! The door slammed shut.

The pharmacist wiped the tea off his face, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Ban tapped his fingers on the table: "Go on... it's very interesting~."

Kabuto Yakushi said, "On average, the chakra recovered from every hundred living people is enough to provide the chakra for one clone weapon... In addition, the blueprint material needed for cloning itself is being continuously supplied through various production lines. The cost of a single blueprint is equivalent to 18 taels of silver!"

"Then, with just a light press of a button, the Kumamon Nest will automatically integrate the chakra of one hundred people with the blueprint material priced at 18 taels of silver. In just a few seconds, it can be processed into a clone of Uchiha Shin. Then, growth hormone will be injected, and the methods of chakra usage, combat experience, etc. will be transmitted through the 'external brain'. The newly born clone can be cultivated into a weapon that can be put into battle in a short time."

"By the way... because I came into contact with White Zetsu during the Fourth Shinobi World War, I slightly modified Shin Uchiha's genes by studying the structure of White Zetsu. Each Shin Uchiha clone can use the most basic Wood Release in addition to the original Mangekyou Sharingan."

Yu asked, "How long have you been implementing this plan, and how many cloned weapons have you created?"

Kabuto Yakushi said, "It has been in operation since the external brain was officially launched... Judging from the timeline, 120 million people should have been put into the 'Chakra Furnace'."

Yu narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists: "One hundred and twenty million people... One hundred people's worth of chakra can supply one clone. One hundred and twenty million people, so the number of Uchiha Shin clones produced would be one million two hundred thousand?"

Kabuto Yakushi said, "No, there's a loss rate during the refining and transmission process in the furnace. The actual amount of chakra recovered will be reduced. Therefore, the actual number of clones produced is far less than 1.2 million, but more than 1 million is more than enough. They all obey the will of the external brain..."

Yu frowned deeply: "After the Fourth Shinobi World War, 20 billion people survived in the world... Are you planning to use them all?"

Kabuto shook his head and said seriously, "No, that's unrealistic... because with the population continuing to decline sharply, it will inevitably become impossible to hide. Once the ninja country is alerted, the production process will inevitably be interrupted!"

He adjusted his glasses again: "In my mathematical modeling, my ideal plan is to use more than half of the population to produce about 'ten million' clone weapons in the next year... Then, a year later, Sasuke, who has awakened the Rinnegan and is now working for me, will lead this ten million clone army, each with a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan and the ability to use Wood Release, to raze the Ninja Country to the ground...!"

Chapter 624 A World Within Three Inches: Polarization!

After listening to Kabuto's explanation, Yu realized the seriousness of the matter. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Chakra Furnace? Where is the Kumazu Nest? And where are the one million Uchiha Shin clones that have been successfully mass-produced located?"

Dou adjusted his glasses and said, "These are all matters handled by the external brain. To prevent information from leaking out, even I don't know these details."

He then changed the subject: "But the external brain is like a command tower, using its own hands and feet to carry out its tasks. The daimyo prefectures, gold exchange offices, and labor distribution agencies of various countries are the most suitable entities to act as its hands and feet. Starting from these, we should be able to get the relevant clues!"

Yu scrutinized Kabuto: "Kabuto, gathering intelligence is your forte! You dug your own hole, can you fill it in yourself?"

Dou's voice was low but very honest: "At this point, sacrifices are inevitable. I will do my best to minimize the losses!"

What is the smallest?

"To halt the enemy's forces at their current level... the external brain will gather intelligence from the outside world, and once it determines that the situation has changed, it will deploy its existing forces to launch a general offensive against the Ninja Kingdom!"

Yu Ningmou: "In other words, no matter what, this battle is inevitable!"

“Yes.” Kabuto adjusted his glasses. “Unless we find and destroy it before the external brain issues the command, but that’s unrealistic… So, I suggest you put the Ninja Kingdom on high alert immediately!”

"There's no need to panic." Yu thought: In a little over three months, the White Snake Sage's divination will be usable again, and the location of the external brain will be revealed to the world. Let's use this incident as training ground. Four months later... the Momo-style duo will be here. In the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, I will be absent, so they'll have to overcome this challenge on their own.

The talks ended, and Kabuto officially joined the Ninja Kingdom and began to clean up the mess he had left behind.

As night fell, Yu and Ban stood side by side on the mountaintop, gazing at the myriad lights of Yuhuang City.

Madara made a startling statement: "Obito, actually, Kabuto's plan is very forward-thinking... You might as well take this opportunity to recover the scattered chakra."

Yu said, "What... you want me to target civilians?"
