Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Chapter 65 Everything is ready!

"Huh? I'm giving you time to use Kamui! Say it again! What are we supposed to do?!" The White Zetsu were indignant.

Whoosh! From within the vortex of divine power, Lin Yu descended from the rooftop to the ground: "I want you to shoulder the future of Dark Hidden Village. This is a sacred and momentous mission, one that I can only entrust to those I trust most!"

"I don't believe you! You think we're like those female ninjas you kidnapped, all brainwashed by you! Compared to us, Madara is a grandson, cough cough... I mean age, of course!"

Yes, that's no exaggeration.

These White Zetsu are all evolved from people who were trapped in Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi thousands of years ago, and they are all sleeping in the Gedo Mazo.

Until decades ago, during the battle between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, Madara bit off a piece of Hashirama's flesh and transplanted it into his own body, which enabled him to awaken the Rinnegan in his later years and summon the Gedo Mazo.

Then, the Gedo Mazo was used as a medium to cultivate Hashirama's cells, which also awakened a part of the White Zetsu that shared the same origin as Hashirama's power.

In fact, the vast majority of White Zetsu are still sleeping inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path... their number is no less than 100,000!

Each of them has lived for thousands of years, making them ancestors.

As for strength... never mind, let's just discuss seniority.

Faced with the protests of the White Zetsu, Lin Yu... actually showed a wronged expression. He lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.

"what?"

"Ayu, what's wrong with you!"

Lin Yu said, "Jue, you are the companions who have stayed with me the longest since I came to this world, even though I sometimes have to send you around..."

"It's not just occasionally, it's all the time!" White Zetsu retorted.

"But I really consider you all friends, even family..." Lin Yu said emotionally.

"Even if you say that, we, we also..."

"Although you have the same codename, the same face, and your personalities are like they were made from the same mold, your individual presence is not strong..."

"Hey! That's really rude of you!!"

“There are subtle differences between each of us, okay? For example, it has a huge barb growing from its crotch, and it has more wrinkles on its face…”

"What do you know? This barb of mine can be used as a weapon!"

"The wrinkles on my face, in botany, are called annual rings!"

As they talked, Bai Jue and his own people started arguing fiercely.

"Then, don't you want to have your own unique names?" Lin Yu's sudden words silenced all the White Zetsu.

“We never thought of this kind of thing. Zetsu, that’s the code name Madara gave us all. The only one of us with a name is Tobi!” a White Zetsu said.

Ah Fei, dressed in a black robe, sat silently on the wall.

Lin Yu said seriously, "I've actually been thinking about this for quite a while. I'm going to give each of you here a unique name. From now on, your existence will be as unique as your names. Those who want to be named, please stand in a line over here."

The white Zetsu looked at each other, then simultaneously emerged from the ground and stood in a row in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at the Zetsu standing at the head of the line. He was the White Zetsu who had huge barbs growing from his crotch and was originally one with the Black Zetsu.

With a hiss, a wisp of chakra flame appeared at Lin Yu's fingertip, and he wrote the character '一' on the shoulder of Zetsu in front of him.

Lin Yu said, "Your name is Yi!"

"One? That's so cool, Yu, you're a genius at naming things!" Yi gave Lin Yu a thumbs up.

Lin Yu walked up to the second White Zetsu, the one with a face full of wrinkles. He had served as an envoy to Takigakure Village and the Daimyo Prefecture.

Lin Yu wrote the number two on his shoulder and said, "Your name is Two!"

"Two!! I have a name now, hahaha! I have my own name! Two, so two! What a great name!" Two raised her long arms high above her head, jumping and clapping to the beat.

Lin Yu walked past each White Zetsu, giving each one a unique name, from 'one' to 'forty-seven'.

The White Zetsu chanted their names, put their arms around each other, and danced with joy, creating a lively and happy scene. Even the most emotionally expressive 'Thirty-Three' shed tears of excitement.

"Phew..." Choosing so many names must have been incredibly brain-draining. Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his brow, came to A Fei's side, and said, "A Fei, actually I've also chosen a name for you, 'Zero,' but... A Fei is already used to calling you that."

Afei thought to himself: Yu, you have Madara's coldness, and you also have Obito's straightforwardness. You are a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside soul from another world, and one of the few people who, like poop, are to my liking...

Swish!

Afei jumped down from the wall and said to the jutsu who were overjoyed to have received their names, "Everyone, the Ninja Academy is related to the future of the Hidden Cave Village. Yu entrusting us with such an important position means that he trusts us. Anyway, we're just sitting around doing nothing, so why don't we give him a hand..."

"Alright, considering how nice the names he gave us are, we'll reluctantly accept this task!" the White Zetsu all responded.

Lin Yu patted A Fei on the shoulder and said, "A Fei, I think I'll hand over the position of principal of the Ninja Academy to you."

“I’m fine, but aren’t you afraid…” Ah Fei said, then hesitated.

"Aren't you afraid of anything?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Well, it's nothing. I'll take this job..." Ah Fei thought to himself: Starting with children to cultivate their sense of bladder control... seems quite interesting.

And so, Lin Yu, through a combination of coaxing and deception, entrusted the construction of the most crucial ninja school to A-Fei and Zetsu.

That night, the official tailor of the Daimyo's mansion in the Dark Kingdom delivered samples of the 'headband' and 'ninja outfit'.

Both of these items... were designed by Lin Yu himself.

The headband of the Hidden Village has a pattern that is exactly the same as the pattern of Lin Yu's Divine Might Kaleidoscope!

This means that no matter how high Lin Yu goes in the future, he will never forget that these eyes are his starting point!

The ninja uniform is a dark color scheme of black and purple, symbolizing the name 'Darkness'. The 'Feather' on the back symbolizes that every ninja from the Hidden Shadow Village who wears this uniform will be protected by Lin Yu, who is also the name Uchiha Yu!

For ninjas from other villages, the consequence of attacking them is—death!

“Very good, let’s tailor clothes for all the children in the village, and then make them according to this sample…” Lin Yu said.

The tailor said, "Are we taking measurements now? Isn't that too early? It takes a long time to go from ninja academy to becoming a genin..."

Lin Yu, however, had his own considerations: "Everyone possesses enormous potential. You can never be certain when they will reach the heights we expect! If that day comes early and we haven't prepared for them, wouldn't that be incredibly disrespectful? Opportunities are something they must seize themselves, but as leaders, we also have a responsibility to pave the way for those children who are good at seizing opportunities!"

The tailor stared at the man in shock, bowed deeply, and left.

With everything in place, Lin Yu walked to the window, lifted the curtain, and suddenly, a little girl with purple hair flashed past from around the corner.

Lin Yu remained silent.

That's... Yugao.

Chapter 66 Being the Shadow!

Three days later, the Hidden Shadow Village Ninja Academy was officially established.

On this day, Tobi and the others dressed up as ninjas from the Hidden Shadow Village and arrived at the training grounds of the Ninja Academy.

Five hundred and sixty-four children sat on the ground.

They were children personally selected by Lin Yu from among the thousands of orphans sent by the Dark Kingdom, children with the talent to use chakra.

Five hundred and sixty-four, with a roughly balanced male-to-female ratio. Although the number is slightly small compared to other ninja villages, I believe it will double in the future...

These children lost their parents at a young age for various reasons, or were even abandoned by them. Having experienced loneliness, they inevitably differ from normal children. For example, many are taciturn or have withdrawn personalities.

This is the first Ninja Academy to be established, which has great historical significance for the Hidden Shadow Village. As the Shadow, Lin Yu must be present in person to say something to these children.

He wore a cloak that read "First Generation Shadow," over which he wore the ninja uniform of the Hidden Dark Village. His waist was marked with the emblem of the "Land of Darkness," and he wore a shadow hat with the character "Darkness" on it.

Under a sky shrouded in dark clouds, he stood atop a high platform and addressed the entire audience: "My name is 'Uchiha Yu,' and as the Shadow, I am your village chief. From today onward, you will receive three years of basic ninja training at the Hidden Shadow Village Ninja Academy. The 564 people present will be divided into 47 classes of 12 students each, and your respective class teachers are right before you!"

Children, look at the immortals standing before you.

"I don't want these white guys, I want Lord Shadow to teach me personally!" A discordant voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"The white guy?" Zetsu frowned and looked at the boy who spoke. His name was Yamashiro Ryuufu.

"Liufeng, you're being very rude!" the girl beside him said timidly.

“Yumir, you know I’m not like these good-for-nothings!” Yamashiro Ryuuka stood up, looking at the children of his age with disdain.

"What did you say, you bastard? Believe me or not, I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball!" At this moment, a tall boy with dark skin rolled up his sleeves and stood up, about to go forward and beat up Shancheng Liufeng.

"Forget it, Mirozin, don't bother with this kind of guy!" The surrounding children all pulled Mirozin away.

"Hmph! You all better watch out, you good-for-nothings!" Yamashiro Ryufu said arrogantly, his hands forming a hand seal in front of his chest.

Boom! A clone that looked exactly like him appeared in the white smoke.

"Ninja, ninjutsu!?" The children, who had never seen ninjutsu before, were stunned.

On the high platform.

"Oh, so you've already mastered the clone technique. No wonder you think you're superior to others," Lin Yu murmured.

“But it’s just a regular illusion clone. Yugao already knew how to do that before she went to the Ninja Academy,” said Uzuki Yuhi beside her.

Yamashiro Ryuka shouted, "Lord Shadow, do you see? I'm different from these people. I have the talent to become the strongest ninja. It would be your honor to take me as your disciple!"

On the side, Yumir covered his face, feeling utterly ashamed.

"Tch!" Mirojin spat on the ground, then sat down unwillingly.

Lin Yu said, "Your talent as a ninja may truly be outstanding."

"Hmph, need I say more?" Yamashiro Ryufu licked his nose with his finger, looking smug.

“However, your personal qualities are lacking. First, make him understand the importance of respecting teachers and valuing education,” Lin Yu said to White Zetsu No. 1.

“OK~ I’ll take care of it…” White Zetsu Number One stepped forward.

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Let me show you the true measure of your own worth!"

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!!" Yamashiro Ryuka clenched his fist and charged forward.

*Smack!* With a gentle reach, he caught Yamashiro Ryuu's fist, tripped him, and delivered a chop to the back of Yamashiro Ryuu's head, knocking him to the ground, whereupon he collapsed.

"Ouch!! It hurts!! You thorny thing down there!!" Yamashiro Ryufu rolled on the ground, clutching the back of his head and howling.

"Hey, you little brat, believe me or not, I'll flick your little brother to pieces!" Yi was getting a little annoyed.

"One, that's enough..." Lin Yu stopped Yi and saved the descendants of Shancheng Liufeng.

Then Lin Yu descended from the platform, walked up to Yamashiro Ryuufu, looked at him and said, "Wanting to become my disciple shows you have ambition and are unwilling to fall behind. However, you must be down-to-earth in everything you do. First, graduate from the Ninja Academy..."
