Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

After absorbing a large amount of soul power, the Box of the Underworld flickered dimly... Suddenly, the lid popped open, releasing thousands of rays of light!

Amidst the mists of the River Styx, a large red torii gate appears. (Note: The shape of the Myojin Gate is that of a torii gate.)

Above the torii gate's main beam, the three large black characters "Yomiku-go" (Land of the Dead) are prominently displayed... Beyond the torii gate, a faint aura, not belonging to this world, emanates.

"That is the gate to the Underworld..." Yu put away the Box of the Underworld and stepped forward.

"Dad, don't go over there!" A clear female voice suddenly rang out from the riverbank behind them.

"!" Yu turned around abruptly, but the riverbank was empty!

Just now... that voice.

Yu asked, "Ban, did you hear someone talking?"

Ban replied, "No... what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let's go..." Yu Mo thought for a moment, then shook her head and said.

Even if it's the gates of hell... I'll brave it!

After the two entered, the red torii gate disappeared... and the mist once again enveloped the River Styx!

The scene shifts, revealing a murky river stretching to the horizon, with eerily blooming red flowers along its banks.

“This must be the real River Styx, and…” Yu bent down and plucked a flower. Its eerie red color exuded a beauty of death. Yu murmured, “The red spider lily… the Manjusaka. So it really exists.”

Ding-dong!

Suddenly... a clear bell rang out from the mist of the River Styx.

Whoosh... An unmanned wooden boat, rowing by itself, paddled towards us.

Chapter 651 Chasing Souls in the Underworld, Yearning with Longing

Tap! The small boat came to rest on the bank of the River Styx.

"..." Madara frowned deeply.

Imagine suddenly entering a dangerous place, and a ship of unknown origin sails towards you – it's incredibly eerie!

With a flick of his wrist, the red spider lily fell into the River Styx... and vanished into nothingness with a soft hiss!

Yu said, "It seems that without this boat, we will be unable to move an inch on this River Styx!"

Ban said, "Aren't you afraid that if you get on a ship of unknown origin, it might capsize halfway through the journey?"

Yu looked down at the 'Ubidi' mark on his right palm, and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, this is an arrangement from the depths of fate..."

Yu was the first to board the ship.

The boat was small, but exceptionally stable; you could walk on it without it wobbling at all!

After Yu sat down, he placed the Six Paths Staff aside, patted the wooden board, and said, "See? It should be fine."

"Don't act like I'm scared. I'm just maintaining the alertness a ninja should have..."

Ban emphasized, stepped onto the boat, sat cross-legged, and placed his hands on either side.

With a creaking sound, the wooden boat turned around, the oars swung, Ban sat at the bow, and Yu sat at the stern, sailing downstream along the Styx River!

In the hazy mist, at the end of the dim sky, a giant jellyfish seemed to be slowly moving, its face outlined by three purple lines.

Ban asked, "Is the fact that a ship will come to pick us up related to the mark on your hand?"

Yu said, "Ah, I think so... Otsutsuki Uhijiri is one of the three great gods of the Underworld. I signed a contract with him, so I can be considered to have 'someone in the court'."

Ban gazed at the receding river scenery beside him: "Where are we going?"

Yu seemed to be deep in thought: "Perhaps, it will be that place..."

He reached into his robes, took out a scroll, and unfolded it; it was a map.

"Huh?" Madara exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a map of the Underworld! Where did you get it from!"

Yu looked down at the map, his fingers tracing the path, searching for directions. He said to Madara, "Orochimaru visited the Land of the Dead twice. The first time was purely accidental, and the second time was to break Kasyapa's 'Boruyasu' eye technique. We are not completely ignorant about the Land of the Dead..."

Madara sighed, "Orochimaru... so it was he who broke through that eye technique."

The Kingdom of Yomi consists of eight islands: Awaji, Iyo, Oki, Tsukushi, Iki, Tsushima, Sado Island, and Toyoakizu of Ōwa!

These eight islands are governed by the three great gods of the Yellow Springs Kingdom.

The Grim Reaper, the god who controls death, is also the source of the Uzumaki clan's Reaper Death Seal. His true form is Otsutsuki Enma, who controls the four islands of Awaji, Iyo, Oki, and Tsukushi.

The Soul God, also known as the Living God, is a deity who controls life. Sasori Akagami comprehended the art of puppetry in her early years and made a contract with this god, gaining the ability of 'mind and soul as one'!

Having acquired the ability to unite mind and soul, Sasori can attach his soul to a puppet, retaining only a piece of flesh to hold his chakra.

You can control puppets to move and speak without needing a brain, a thinking organ!

The true form of Kakashi is Ōtsutsuki Hama, who controls the three major islands of Iki, Tsushima, and Sado.

The last of the eight islands, 'Great Wa Toyoakizu', was controlled by Ōtsutsuki Uhichi!

As we all know, the Otsutsuki clan is ambitious, searching everywhere for soil suitable for cultivating the Divine Tree, and even extending their reach to the 'Netherworld'. Enma and Kama are both Otsutsuki's henchmen sent to the Netherworld...

Uhiji was one of the few righteous men in the Otsutsuki clan. He was attacked by the clan for opposing the plundering of external lands to plant the Divine Tree, and ultimately died in Takamagahara.

But its indomitable spirit took root in the underworld, occupying one of the eight islands, and restraining Yama and Hama, all to stop the Otsutsuki clan's plan to devour the underworld!

Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Ubiquitous and Yu signed a contract... The intricacies of which will not be elaborated upon here.

"If I'm not mistaken, this ship will take us to 'Great Wa Toyoakizu,' the very island ruled by the god Uhichirō..."

Yu's gaze swept across the map, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hmm! We're in luck, this island isn't far from us!"

Ban pondered, "Since Ubiquitous could sense our arrival, the other two great gods must also know. It's hard to say whether we can arrive safely..."

Whoosh! The words had barely left his mouth when a chilling wind suddenly swept across the River Styx!

In mid-air, a group of skeletons shrouded in black robes, wielding chains and scythes, peered down from their dark, empty forms.

Yu looked up and said, "Uncle Ban, your mouth must be blessed..."

"Hehehehehehehe..." The black-robed skeletons chuckled as they charged forward.

"Let me do it..." *Sizzle!* Madara transformed his right eye into the Rinnegan, and with a flick of his hand, unleashed: "Shinra Tensei!"

call out! ! !

A powerful repulsive field activated, and the approaching dark figure immediately stopped...

"Very good, it seems the laws of physics also apply to this place!"

The corners of the spotted mouth turned up, increasing the repulsive force.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The black-robed skeletons exploded into black mist.

But a moment later, they actually reformed!

"Hmm?" Madara frowned and said, "So he's immortal!"

Yu cupped the back of his head with both hands: "Try using magic!"

Ban clasped his hands together in front of his chest: "I would have done it even without you telling me!"

Buzz! The mask of the Free and Easy Sage Technique appeared on Madara's face. After he stood up, he formed the 'Noon Seal' with his hands and his chest bulged.

—Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Bear! Bear! Bear!

The raging flames swept across the River Styx, and when the curtain fell, dust scattered across the river!

“It seems… Sage Mode is useful.” Madara sat back down at the bow of the ship, looking at his hands. “Chakra truly is a power that transcends the realms of Yin and Yang. In the Underworld, one can also enter Sage Mode. However, the Sage Chakra refined in the Underworld seems to be slightly different…”

Splash! Suddenly, skeletal ghostly hands emerged from the water, grabbed the oars and hull, and shook the boat violently, trying to capsize it!

The ship rocked violently, and Ban frowned, saying, "Those were those damned things from before! Even immortal magic couldn't kill them!"

"No, the Styx River is the source of their power. The ashes that fell into the Styx River earlier have been revived by absorbing the power of the river... It seems that the only way is to use 'Yin-Yang Escape' to completely erase them!"

Yu grasped the Jade Staff of Seeking the Dao beside him!

At that moment, the ghost hands exerted all their strength... and with a splash, the small boat capsized in the River Styx!

……

In the present world, on the land of the former Fire Kingdom, the Dark Moon Four ran swiftly.

Xiaoxue, who was in the lead, looked up at the clouds in the sky and thought: Dad has been in the Yellow Springs for three days now. I wonder if things went smoothly... Grandma Mito and Aunt Lin are about to give birth. At this critical moment, there must be no mistakes!

She called out to those behind her, "Speed ​​up, get back to Feather Emperor City!"

“Okay!” Yumu, Karin, and Hinata replied.

Suddenly... the 'Edict of the Phoenix (Nue)' mark on Xiaoxue's back, which had been sealed for many years, emitted a burst of heat!

"Hmm!" She stopped abruptly, looked back, her eyes trembling: "This feeling, could it be..."

Click!Click!

Cracks appeared in the void, overflowing with evil and ominous chakra!

"Two years have passed, and I have finally found the land of Kaguya..."

Chapter 652 Chasing souls in the underworld, fierce swords in the snow

call out!

A white vortex burst forth from the spatial rift, and the ominous duo descended upon the Land of Fire amidst the swirling snow!

Its chakra and its appearance instantly became the focus of the world!

The giant, over two meters tall, had pale skin and long gray hair, no eyebrows, and a hard horn that pointed upwards to the left on his head.

His arms, as thick as trees, were particularly striking. The overcoat that stretched from his back to his heels covered his body and half of his face, leaving only one white eye exposed, which coldly surveyed his surroundings.

On his broad shoulders sat a slender man with the same skin and hair color. The man had symmetrical 'dots' on his forehead, just like Kaguya's, and two forward-curving rabbit-ear-like horns on his head!

Dressed in aristocratic style clothing and high-heeled wooden clogs, with a veil draped over her head!
