Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Chapter 642 A World Within Three Inches, A Soul-Stirring Dream!

Hashirama's soul was summoned back to the mortal world from the Pure Land.

Yu Tongling emerged from the Hell Path Yama, and Hashirama's soul willingly entered it. Madara then picked up Hashirama's body and placed it inside.

rustling!

The King of Hell was chewing greedily.

"..." Madara clenched his fists quietly, his expression tense, until he saw Hashirama walk out of the gaping maw of Enma unharmed, looking around with a clear mind, before he finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Ban crossed his arms back over his chest and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"..." Hashirama stretched his arms and observed, "It seems that nothing is different."

Whew. Yu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Hashirama resurrected 100,000 people using the Rinne Rebirth technique, which in itself seriously disrupted the natural order of life and death. If even the caster of the Rinne Rebirth technique is resurrected, it means that death itself will become cheap.

To put it more seriously, it could lead to a situation where no one will truly die anymore, and the laws of nature will be overturned!

Yama, the King of Hell, decides life and death; would he allow such a thing to happen?

"I can't believe there really is no cost." Shocked, Hashirama suddenly had a thought: "A million people from the Ninja Kingdom have also died! Why don't I take them too..."

At this moment, Madara got angry: "Hashirama! I gave you my left eye, not so you could do charity! If you keep this up, give it back to me!"

clang!

Hashirama instantly became dejected: "I was just joking, you, you yelled at me! Sure enough, after Chiri came along, you..."

Ban interrupted, "This has nothing to do with Zhili!"

Hashirama suddenly realized something: "That's right, if only I had resurrected both Izuna and Chisato!"

Madara said, "It's alright. Izuna's body is almost ready. As for Chiri, she's my own woman. I'll find a way to revive her myself. You don't need to worry about her. Compared to that, don't you really feel anything unusual about your body?"

Yu shook his head and thought to himself: These two old buddies, even their bickering is full of bromance.

The vast majority of the resurrected ninjas and White Zetsu remain at the place where they died, the ruins of the Hundred Cities.

Yu immediately instructed Yamanaka Inoichi of Konoha to contact all the ninjas through the Yamanaka clan's "Mind Communication Technique," explaining the current situation and the reasons behind it. He also instructed the ninjas who had been resurrected in the ruins to immediately move to the nearest surviving city to prepare for any possible battles to come.

Although most of the city was destroyed, the ninjas, who were at the core, were fortunately preserved, and the people of the ninja nation were able to settle down.

Inside the Heavenly Feather Pavilion, the high-ranking officials of the Ninja Kingdom were holding a strategic meeting.

With a wisp of cigarette smoke curling between his fingers, Yu said in a deep voice, "It's time to find that island in the open sea and wipe out the remaining enemy forces in one fell swoop!"

Hashirama said, "The outer sea is vast and has many islands. Finding that island accurately is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Yu said with a determined look in his eyes, "Even if I have to turn that ocean upside down, I will find that hellhole and sink them to the bottom of the sea!"

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi said, "Emperor Yu... my external brain can also guess your thoughts. If too much time is spent on the road, many more variables may arise."

Ban glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Can't you provide any useful clues?"

Kabuto shook his head: "I'm sorry... my memory has been erased. I really have no clue about the island where the clone army is hiding."

"Kabuto, don't jump to conclusions too soon." A hoarse voice rang out at the door, and people stared in surprise as Orochimaru pushed the door open and entered.

Orochimaru rarely attends meetings related to warfare, as he is engrossed in his research in his own field and has no interest in scheming.

Kabuto asked, puzzled, "Lord Orochimaru, what did you mean just now?"

Orochimaru said wisely, "Even if a person's personality and memories are altered, the 'habits' ingrained in their bones are hard to erase."

"Habit?" Kabuto murmured, his hand instinctively reaching for his glasses, then suddenly stopping: "This..."

“See?” Orochimaru smiled and spread his hands, then said seriously, “Thinking also has to follow certain rules, which we call ‘mindsets.’ Intelligent people will intentionally break free from mindsets when thinking, but even the act of ‘breaking free’ itself is limited to ‘mindsets’…”

Dou and everyone present fell into deep thought.

Yu asked first, "So, you mean we need to use Kabuto's mindset to deduce which island the external brain will deploy its combat forces on?"

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, "Yes, the external brain is a clone of Kabuto's brain, so it should also follow the same mindset..."

Yu stroked her chin: "How exactly should we carry out this procedure?"

Orochimaru said, "Through 'hypnosis'."

Yu smiled and said, "That's my forte."

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Yu-kun, your hypnotic eye technique is very powerful, making it easy to obtain information. However, Kabuto has no relevant memories in his mind, so the eye technique cannot be used. The hypnosis I am talking about is a relatively gentle 'mental induction'. Relying on the eye technique will backfire."

"Mind...guidance."

Yu recalled some events from before he transmigrated to the Naruto world.

He was once a patient with depression, had dealt with psychologists, and had read books on psychology. The mental manipulation that Orochimaru talked about is something from the field of psychology.

Orochimaru said, "My suggestion is to find someone who is proficient in the theory of illusion and has a meticulous mind to take on this task."

Yu thought about it seriously: "Well... I do have someone in mind."

Ten minutes later, Kurenai Yuhi appeared before the group.

Facing the gazes of everyone present, she stared intently at Yu, her eyes filled with emotion and even resentment... The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

"Ahem." Yu coughed twice and said seriously, "Hong, the reason I asked you to come here is to give you a mission."

"Mission?" Red murmured.

After listening to Yu's explanation, Hong said blankly, "I can trap someone in an illusion, and I can also project my consciousness into the illusionary world to talk to the victim, but how to manipulate someone's mind, I'm really not good at..."

"You, come with me." Yu thought for a moment and stood up.

I took out two books from the bookshelf in Tianyu Pavilion's room and dusted them off.

After Yu transmigrated, in her spare time, she would write down some famous figures and works from her original world based on her memories, as a way to relax.

What Yu held in his hand was the same three-dimensional world he once lived in, and the representative works of the psychology prophet Freud: "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Beyond the Pleasure Principle".

Turning around, Yu handed the two books to Hong: "Take a look when you get back; they might come in handy..."

Her beautiful red eyes remained unblinking as she asked, "Did you write this?"

Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well, I guess so..."

Hong held the book to her chest as if it were a priceless treasure, and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I'll read it now..."

Chapter 643 A World Within Three Inches, Like a Whale Heading Towards the Sea!

After reading "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" overnight, Hong's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

"I thought I knew him well enough, but I never imagined I only knew the tip of the iceberg. It turns out that despite his seemingly careless nature, his inner world is so rich and colorful..."

Hong clutched her chest: "The things I've forgotten must be related to him, otherwise, I wouldn't feel this dull pain every time I see his cold eyes."

The morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor, and Hong stepped out of the room.

"Let's go and complete the mission he gave me. If I were in my current state, I should be able to do it..."

In a separate room, Red and Kabuto face each other.

Hong Ping said, "Next, I'm going to use illusion magic on you. Relax and don't resist in any way..."

Dou nodded and said, "I understand. I also want to find that island as soon as possible and stop the atrocities committed by my other self..."

"Let's begin."

Red hands forming a mudra.

—Magical Cherry Blossom Nami Technique (Revised)!

call out!

Kabuto's gaze gradually emptied, as if cherry blossom petals were falling before his eyes. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they finally closed, and he fell into a hypnotic state...

This "Falling Cherry Blossom Technique" is an improved version by Kurenai. Although she is the caster, she does not interfere with the world within the illusion; she acts as a guide.

Her ruby-like eyes sparkled, and her voice was calm and distant as she said, "Now, imagine you are a homeless traveler, with an endless sea before you, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on its surface, seagulls flying in flocks, the sound of the tide rising, and the waves carrying away your troubles. Who is the person you see before you?"

Dou murmured, "Dean? Everyone?"

Yu's voice came through the headset Kurenai was wearing: "Kabuto grew up in an orphanage. To him, the director, Pharmacist Nonou, was like a mother to him. His former companions in the orphanage were like family. But Danzo's appearance changed his life..."

After gathering her thoughts, Hong said, "The sky suddenly darkens, the sea churns, and you hear the sound of a cane tapping on the ground behind you. Turn around and see who's coming..."

Kabuto's face was contorted with bulging veins: "Danzo!! Don't come any closer!! Are you trying to take away my and everyone else's place to stay again?!"

Hong coaxed gently, "There is no place for you on the earth behind you anymore! Like whales heading to the sea, you will cross oceans... What do you see before you?"

"islands!"

"What kind of island is it?"

"An island hidden in the mist, isolated from the world!"

What does it mean to be isolated from the world?

"There's no wind on the sea, because if there were wind, ships could sail, and if they could reach that point, there would be a danger of being discovered..."

"The Calm Zone...?" Red Heart wondered, then asked, "Where in the open sea is this island?"

"What do you want!" Kabuto's voice immediately became wary: "Why are you so determined to spy on where I and everyone else are hiding?"

Red immediately changed the subject: "How do you manage to find food while surviving on the island?"

Kabuto assumed and said, "Food... There are forests on the island, wild fruits in the forests, and fish in the sea. We rely on wild fruits and sea fish to eat..."

"You'll get tired of eating this every day..."

"Then what should we do?"

"Thud! Look, something fell behind you."

Kabuto said, "It's a... giant coconut!"

Before Hong's eyes, Dou raised his hands, palms facing each other, as if he were really hugging a big coconut.

"Dean, look! There are coconuts here! Let's eat some together!"

In another room, everyone watched the live broadcast through a crystal ball.
