Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"Put your clothes on before you talk." After saying that, Lin Yu turned around and let Jingyin change her clothes herself.

With a face full of humiliation, Jingyin put her clothes on.

"I don't care what your intentions are, but I advise you to give up!" Shizune said, clutching her collar tightly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lin Yu turned around and said in a deep voice, "I could easily use Sharingan genjutsu to manipulate you into doing anything, but the reason I'm not doing so for now is because I genuinely hope you can join my ranks..."

"Join your ranks? Don't daydream!" Shizune remained resistant.

“No, you have your reasons for joining me…” Lin Yu said firmly.

"Then tell me!" Jingyin said dismissively.

"If you don't join me, your beloved Tsunade will die, and the Konoha you serve will perish. Is that reason enough?" Lin Yu said quietly.

Shizune was taken aback for a moment, then retorted, "Lady Tsunade is not such a weak woman, and Konoha is more than ten times stronger than Takigakure! How could you possibly succeed? Stop exaggerating!"

Lin Yu's gaze was deep: "Well~ I don't deny what you said, but when did I say I was going to do it..."

"Then what do you mean!"

"The one who would do such a thing is not me, but someone else. One day, everything in the ninja world will be destroyed!" Lin Yu said with utmost seriousness.

Silent's pupils contracted: He... didn't seem to be exaggerating!

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Well, it's a long story, so let's start with the God Tree, the Chakra Fruit, and Kaguya Otsutsuki..."

Lin Yu had originally intended to tell his bedmate, Uzuki Yuhi, about the secrets of the origin of this ninja world, and now was a good opportunity to persuade Shizune and have Yuhi listen in.

So Lin Yu began to recount the story, starting with the Divine Tree, then Kaguya, from the Sage of Six Paths to the Ten-Tails, followed by the origins of the nine tailed beasts, and the curse that continues to this day…

After hearing this, both Xiyang and Jingyin were dumbfounded!

Lin Yu pressed on, saying, "That's right. One day, an enemy that even Kaguya Otsutsuki fears will descend upon this planet. Without sufficient power, there will be no way to contend with it!"

"This kind of thing... it's a lie, a complete lie!" Shizune exclaimed incredulously.

Lin Yu said, "You may think I'm making this up, but if it's true, what are the consequences? Following that gambling-addicted Tsunade, you should know what the consequences of losing a bet are. Moreover, this time the stakes aren't money, but the safety of the entire ninja world. What do you say, Miss Shizune?"

"Even if there is such an enemy! As long as all the ninjas work together, we will definitely be able to defeat them!!" Shizune said matter-of-factly.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph..." Lin Yu laughed, his voice booming, "Don't be naive! I alone have almost turned the Five Great Nations upside down. Do you know how strong Kaguya Otsutsuki is? She's ten times stronger than me right now, more than a hundred times stronger! And how do you think you can fight against an enemy that even she fears?!"

Upon hearing this, Shizune's eyes widened, and cold sweat involuntarily soaked her back.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Then how can I trust you not to do the same thing as Kaguya after you gain power?!"

Lin Yu spread his hands and said, "Because I have no interest in conquest. What I pursued from the beginning was freedom. When I am successful, I will help the world; when I am unsuccessful, I will cultivate my own virtue. I am not strong enough now, so I pursue personal freedom. When I am strong enough, I will pursue world freedom."

"Miss Shizune, you are facing a decision that could change the world. Will you lend me your strength for the future of the ninja world, or will you offer your foolish loyalty merely for the sake of Konoha? Answer me, and based on your answer, I will decide whether you are worthy to be my partner, or... merely a puppet manipulated by genjutsu!"

After explaining everything, Lin Yu issued an ultimatum to Jingyin!

Regardless of Jingyin's personal situation, Lin Yu's pursuit of his goal will never cease! She doesn't have much time left!

Tick-tock, tick-tock, the clock hands moved, and Jingyin curled up in bed, hugging her knees, burying her head, lost in deep thought.

The fabric around her knees was wrinkled from her gripping.

After a long while, she raised her head: "What do you want me to do?"

Beneath the mask, a smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips: "It seems you've made your decision. Come with me..."

So, Lin Yu, along with Shizune and Sunset, arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory.

"Orochimaru!!" Shizune stared in disbelief at the familiar figure before her.

"Oh, Yu-kun, you've given me one big surprise after another..." Orochimaru said in a hoarse and alluring voice.

"Miss Shizune, what you need to do is assist Mr. Orochimaru in pursuing the truth of this world! Of course, this truth is closely related to my purpose!" Lin Yu said to Shizune.

Watching Orochimaru operate on the experimental subject, Shizune clenched her fists, her thoughts in turmoil: I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, I'm sorry, everyone in Konoha... I don't know if my choice was right or wrong, but to bear the sins and remain silent in the darkness is what a ninja is. If I've done something wrong, I will atone with my death!

"I understand!" Shizune decided to assist Orochimaru and Lin Yu.

Chapter 64: Dark Hidden Village, Three Major Organizations Established!

With the arrival of Shizune, a top-tier medical ninja, Orochimaru's research progress is on track. All that's left is for Orochimaru to produce his results in a month.

With the supply of water and electricity, the construction of many facilities in Dark Hidden Village was also put on the agenda.

As a ninja village, the three most important facilities and institutions are:

First, the covert operations, which involve intelligence gathering, executing classified missions, and assassinating enemy targets.

Second, the hospital was responsible for the medical care of ninjas and civilians.

Third, the Ninja Academy, which is related to the training of ninjas and the future of the ninja village. A ninja village without the injection of fresh blood has no hope!

To establish these three facilities, two things are indispensable: funding and talent!

The initial capital of Ankugakure was 15 billion taels, which was not a small amount and was more than enough. Kakuzu truly deserves credit for this.

Regarding the second point, talent, this is a major problem for Dark Village today.

Aside from Lin Yu, the shadowy figure, and Kakuzu, the Kage-level accountant, Orochimaru, the Kage-level research expert, as well as Shizune, the elite medical Jonin who assists Orochimaru, and the elite Jonin Hozuki Mangetsu and Uzuki Yuhi...

The number of highly skilled and specialized talents is extremely limited.

While the White Zetsu are well-suited to the intelligence-gathering function of the Dark Division, Lin Yu has other uses for them.

Therefore, Lin Yu entrusted this arduous task to Hozuki Mangetsu.

“Mangetsu, you are the strongest ninja in this village besides me and Kakuzu, but Kakuzu is focused on money, so the difficult task of becoming the captain of the Anbu can only be entrusted to you…” Lin Yu said.

"Well, I'm already prepared~ After all, I didn't come to your side to just sit around doing nothing." Hozuki Mangetsu was very reliable.

"Well, I can't give you any capable subordinates right now. It takes time for the new generation in the village to grow up, so for a long time to come, you'll be a lone commander. Compared to the captains of the secret service in other villages, you are indeed a bit lacking..." Lin Yu said apologetically.

"Don't say that~ Every ninja village is in this situation when it first starts out. Take Kirigakure as an example, the Anbu was not truly formed until the Second Mizukage was in power. However, in today's ninja world where the Anbu system is already well-established, we are only just starting out, so we are indeed at a disadvantage. But with you, the strongest 'Kage' in the world, in charge, I think everything will be resolved!"

"The strongest 'Shadow' in this world...?"

Lin Yu neither confirmed nor denied this.

In the current ninja world, the only one who can pose a threat to me in terms of raw power is the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki of the Two Scales. No matter how strong the vitality of Hashirama's cells is, if they are hit head-on by Dust Release, they will probably not escape the fate of being broken into molecules!

But in terms of potential, Minato Namikaze is the one in the film industry who can pose the greatest threat to me right now!

When the Flying Thunder God Technique is used to its fullest potential... in some aspects, it is even superior to Kamui!

What's most terrifying is that Minato's battle mind is even better than that of the Nara clan, which always allows him to turn the impossible into the possible!

If we take into account Minato's unparalleled sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan, the threat level increases even further!

Most importantly, Minato is still young!

In the original work, Minato died at the young age of 24. That period is the time when a ninja can improve their strength the fastest, not to mention a genius like Minato whose talent and comprehension were both at the top level...

Let's not talk about a long time, but if another ten years pass... I really don't know how strong Minato's strength will be. He will probably be a formidable opponent for Lin Yu!

You might say that Minato Namikaze's strength is exaggerated, since he doesn't have any bloodline limit!

However… Minato Namikaze, that man, is the only one who used his own genes to replace the Uzumaki clan's iconic red hair!!!

Tell me, isn't he strong?

The matter concerning the Dark Division will be put on hold for now.

As for the hospital, the Hidden Village has not yet officially begun carrying out the mission assigned by the Land of Darkness, so there will be no ninja injuries for the time being. However, the common people living here eat grains and other foods, so it is inevitable that they will get sick or suffer from disasters, which is something that must be taken seriously.

Lin Yu was also quite troubled by the shortage of medical ninjas.

"Yu, I know medical ninjutsu." Seeing Lin Yu looking troubled, Uzuki Yuhi volunteered.

"Oh?" Lin Yu looked up from the table, surprised as he gazed at the setting sun.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work, her younger sister, Yugao Uzuki, was a member of the Allied Forces' medical corps. She was proficient in advanced medical ninjutsu, and although she couldn't compare to Tsunade and Shizune, her skill level far surpassed that of ordinary medical ninjas. Yuhi is Yugao's older sister, so it's not surprising that she also possesses the talent to master medical ninjutsu...

"Let me serve as the temporary head of the hospital for now. As long as there isn't a large influx of patients, I think I can handle it with my skills. Besides, my identity... should have a positive effect on your image," Uzuki Yuhi said thoughtfully.

Yes, although a formal wedding has not yet been held, everyone already knows that Uzuki Yuhi is the Shadow Lady. If she is the Shadow Lady and plays the role of saving lives, it will definitely improve Lin Yu's status in the hearts of the villagers.

Lin Yu said with relief, "Xiyang, you really helped me a lot by stepping forward at this time..."

Xi Yang said, "Not at all, I was just worried that my strength wasn't enough to be of much help to you."

This is where we are. The world is never short of powerful people, but it is short of people who can support each other through thick and thin.

Lin Yu said, "I will select promising children with medical ninjutsu talent from among the village children as soon as possible for training and to form a medical team to reduce your burden."

"Yes, our village will definitely get better and better in the future!" the setting sun said hopefully.

Thus, the hospital's situation was temporarily resolved.

Finally, we've arrived at the most crucial educational issue: the ninja academy.

How to provide quality education as early as possible is crucial to when the Hidden Village can rise to prominence and truly become an organization on par with the Five Great Ninja Villages!

You should know that there is no ninja village in this world that will be destroyed if it loses its village chief!

Only Dark Hidden Village, if it leaves Lin Yu at this stage, it would probably be wiped out in a matter of minutes, let alone become a powerful fighting force behind him...

Therefore, the education issue must be addressed immediately, and the first thing to be addressed is the teachers at the ninja academy!

Unlike the ninjas who lead genin (lower-ranking ninjas) and must reach jonin level, a chunin or higher is sufficient to be a ninja academy teacher…

Lin Yu gathered all the White Zetsu, including A Fei, a total of 47!

"Lord Shadow Feather, what brings you to us...?"

"Why is Lord Yu thinking of us instead of going to sleep with his beauty..."

"I thought Lord Yu had forgotten about us long ago now that he's risen to the Shadow Realm..."

The White Zetsu, as always, were being sarcastic and teasing Lin Yu, one after another.

Lin Yu sat on the eaves of the pavilion and laughed, "How could I forget you all? I remember when we first saw Madara off, it was you who guided my training every day, teaching me how to control chakra, walk on water, scale walls, how to skillfully form hand seals, use various ninjutsu, and even chakra nature transformation and form transformation—a whole series of basic ninja skills. Without those six months of hard training, I wouldn't be who I am today. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you were my mentors..."

"Oh? You do have a conscience! So you summoned us here to reward our merits and bestow important positions upon us?" The White Zetsu all showed delight on their faces.

Lin Yu looked up at the moon and said, "Yes, it is indeed a very important position. I want you to take up the teaching baton and become teachers at the Ninja Academy, educating the future flowers of our Hidden Shadow Village..."
