Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

He had no grudge against the Ise Shrine in Izumo Province. Therefore, he felt neither joy nor anger, nor resentment, during this mission; only a deep sorrow... a sorrow for the weak!

Thump! Thump!

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the mountain mist below, and it turned out to be an old man with white hair being helped by a beautiful young girl!

Stopping at the edge of the cliff, the old man placed his cane aside, bowed and prostrated himself, saying, "God, you have finally manifested!"

"A god." Beneath the mask, Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

The old man looked up and said, "Have you forgotten, God? Twenty years ago, you sent down a divine decree in my dream... Your posture and aura are exactly the same as yours. If you are not a God, then who is?"

Splash!

Inside the shrine, the doors of the buildings opened, and people dressed in red and white clothing came in one after another, men and women, young and old, kneeling behind the old man and the young girl.

The elder at the head of the group shouted, "On behalf of the Ise clan, this old servant bows to the heavenly god!"

People bowed in unison, their expressions filled with piety!

Yu frowned, thinking: It seems things aren't that simple...

He asked calmly, "So, have you finished what I told you to do?"

The old man proclaimed loudly, "By the decree of the gods, we have established a shrine, spread the divine way, gathered believers, and collected incense offerings. In the past twenty years, more than half of the people in this land have offered their incense to the gods, seeking their protection, abundance, and the elimination of illness and disaster!"

At this moment, a beautiful young girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden's outfit stepped forward beside the old man, carrying an ancient jar, and said reverently, "Your Majesty, this is the incense offered by the people of the gods. Please examine it!"

Yu examined the jar, which was inscribed with wondrous spells, so much so that even his eyes could not see what was inside.

Yu thought: Although these people are not very strong, they seem to have some special abilities, which is why they were chosen by the so-called gods...

Yu took the jar and handed it to Tongtong behind him. Then he looked down at the girl in front of him who didn't even dare to raise her head and said, "Raise your head."

The young girl said with trepidation, "No, I dare not, for I fear it would be disrespectful to the gods..."

Yu said calmly, "It's okay, lift your head."

The girl timidly raised her head, her beautiful face and clear eyes... her face showed not only awe, but also a blush of joy at being allowed to look her in the eye.

It's clear how much she worshipped the gods!

Yu reached behind his neck, drew a red-glowing longsword from the Mystic Ring, and with a snap, plunged it into the girl's heart!

The shyness on her face froze instantly, and her eyes were filled with deep despair and confusion!

chap!

Yu drew his longsword, and the girl collapsed to the ground, blood staining the ground. Her body convulsed, and she stammered, "Heavens, Gods... what... what did I do wrong?"

Yu did not answer.

The colors of life faded rapidly; the girl's eyes remained open until her death, eventually solidifying into a deathly ashes.

Yu stepped over the corpse of the Ise Shrine Maiden and walked toward the old man!

The old man did not run away, but instead pleaded in fear and trembling, "Heavens, gods, please calm your anger!"

"I am not your god; to you, I am merely the god of death..."

*Swish!* With a single stroke, Yu severed the old man's head!

"Ahhh!"

Fear roused the stunned Ise people, who fled for their lives!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Yu chased after them, wielding his sword and slaughtering... until the blood in front of the Ise Shrine turned into a river of blood!

The death toll was 368... one short of the 369 mentioned in the scroll of hell.

At that moment, Tongtong pointed her little finger in the direction of the shrine.

Yu drew his sword and entered. Inside the room, he saw a sleeping infant. His brows furrowed deeply, and he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. "He knows nothing, does he? There's no need to implicate him in the mistakes of his people..."

Tongtong said, "Don't worry, hell is very spacious; it can hold as many people as you want..."

Yu closed his eyes, slowly raised his sword, and the mask of joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment turned into a deeper 'sorrow': I was too naive. When I killed Urashiki, I thought it was a sweet job... Indeed, hell is hell! This hellish feast has only just begun!

He hardened his heart... and plunged the sword down with all his might!

Click!

Fresh blood... splattered directly onto the roof beams!

"Heh..." Tongtong's purple eyes gleamed with an eerie light as she chuckled.

Chapter 709 A Voice from Beyond the Heavens and Earth

Yu found a blanket and covered the baby's body with it.

He walked out of the room carrying a blood-dripping sword... his heart was heavy.

The sight of the sleeping baby reminded Yu of her son, Xiao Feng.

"If it were ten years ago, I probably would have been much more at ease taking on this kind of job..."

Yu paced absentmindedly until he passed the statue standing at the end of the shrine... He stopped abruptly and turned to look!

The statue depicts a robust man with long hair and horns, wearing noble robes adorned with magatama and symbols of reincarnation!

The so-called gods are none other than Otsutsuki!

Yu gripped his longsword tightly, his killing intent surging.

In the corridor, the candlelight flickered violently.

What, then, is this so-called incense offering?

Yu turned and looked at the jar Tongtong was holding, and she already had an answer in her heart that was yet to be confirmed...

The sorrow in my heart turned into anger... The mask of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness echoed the face of anger.

Snap! Snap!

Yu swung his sword and cleaved the statue of the god into several pieces.

boom!

The shrine collapsed with a crash. Yu stepped through the river of blood in front of the shrine and stopped in front of the first bloodied girl's body. A bamboo flute was tied to the belt around her waist.

Yu bent down, took down the bamboo flute, closed the girl's unclosed eyes, and murmured, "You did nothing wrong, but life and death are not about right or wrong... Rest in peace, even if you are in hell."

Yu stood up, and Amaterasu's black flames burned fiercely... The corpses of the girl and her people turned into smoke and dust, disappearing with the wind.

The second page of the Hell Scroll has been marked with a blood-red cross, signifying that the quest is complete.

call out!

Yu put away the Hell Scroll, and both Dark Yu Yu and Hell Cold Face disappeared.

Behind them, Tongtong asked, "Do we want to go back?"

Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I saw a hot spring on the back mountain. Let's go there to cleanse ourselves. Otherwise, how can we go back covered in blood?"

Tongtong laughed and said, "Hehe...then Tongtong will take a bath too!"

In the hot springs behind the mountain, Yu soaked in the water, washing away the bloodstains from her body.

He picked up the bamboo flute he had taken from the girl's waist, pressed his fingers on the holes, and tried to play it... producing intermittent flute sounds.

Not far away, Tongtong lay on a stone in the spring, her little hand supporting her chin, her big purple eyes staring unblinkingly.

Yu understands music theory. When he was in elementary school, he was in charge of playing the trumpet in the marching band on Children's Day.

Although I've never played the flute before, music theory is universal. As long as I find the trick... I can make it sound. Of course, I can't guarantee how well I'll play it.

He quickly figured it out, and the intermittent music became continuous...

Tongtong asked curiously, "What tune are you playing?"

Yu said, "This piece... is called 'May Rain'."

After playing half a tune, Yu stopped, shook his head slightly... appearing somewhat dissatisfied.

His skill level is limited, and the flute's tone is too crisp and melodious; a piano or violin would be better suited to express the sorrow in this piece...

But there are no pianos or violins in the world of Naruto, right? Even if they were made... high-end instruments, he wouldn't be able to play them.

……

The Land of Water is a small fishing village by the sea. The villagers have made a living by fishing for generations. Due to the impact of the Fourth Shinobi World War, many villagers went out to seek refuge and never returned. Of course, they may not necessarily have died. It is also possible that after seeing the wonderful world outside, they did not want to return to that isolated village.

Only a handful of families remained in the fishing village.

Ahua and her father were one of those families.

About half a year ago, Ahua went fishing with her father and pulled up a man covered in blood who was on the verge of death.

The father questioned the man's identity and didn't want to cause trouble, but Ahua, being a kind girl, insisted on saving him.

Under Ahua's meticulous care, the man was saved. After waking up, the man lost his memory, unable to remember where he came from or even who he was.

Because the man had a pair of horns on his head, Ahua called him Aniu.

Ah Niu wasn't very strong, but he was stronger than an ox. He took the initiative to do the heavy work at home. Ah Hua's father was old and there were no able-bodied men in the family, so they couldn't handle many things. Ah Niu's arrival was just the right thing to do. Moreover, Ah Niu was a steady person and didn't seem like a messy person, so they gladly accepted him.

But for some reason, Ah Niu had a strong aversion to fishing rods and baskets.

Once, while fetching water, a young man carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder and a fish basket on his back walked towards him. A-Niu lost control of his emotions and became extremely aggressive. Fortunately, he fainted in time, otherwise someone might have died.

Upon waking up, Ah Niu recalled the incident where he was attacked by a man with a fishing rod.

Later, he gradually remembered his background.

His name is Ōtsutsuki Hashiki... He is one of the top 100 masters of the Ōtsutsuki clan's main branch, enjoying immense prestige.

Later, he was inexplicably branded a traitor and hunted down by his nemesis. He ended up on Earth, where he was taken in by a man named Uchiha Yu, who gave him the alias Hyuga Yu, and he settled down in the Ninja Country.

The person who attacked him was named Pu Shi, a junior member of the clan whom he had always disliked.

Because of his greatly diminished strength, Yu Shiki was no match for Urashiki. His chakra was stolen, and he was severely injured and forced into the ground.

The place where Yu Shiki encountered Urashiki was the Land of Water. The Land of Water has a large number of underground water veins... The place where Yu Shiki met his demise happened to be one of these underground water veins. He was swept away to the sea by the current and was rescued by Hana and her father by chance.

Recalling everything, Yu Shi appeared quite calm.

This brush with death has changed his mindset.
