Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

He took in everything from a distance, his face as still as water.

—Daogu Aga Liu!

A jet-black color covered her shoulders...

Clang! Clang!

The axe shattered instantly upon striking the black object!

The Doku Aga-ryu technique, which fuses the Truth-Seeking Ball with the body, transforms the flesh into an impenetrable barrier. It is a unique, secret physical technique created by Yu himself!

Seeing that things were not going well, the two bronze figures retreated.

——Gentle Fist · Needle Acupressure!

Cha-cha-cha!

Yu's long hair swept out, its edges sharpened, and shot backward, turning the two bronze figures into pincushions!

"drink!"

After gathering strength in his arms, Yu unleashed a powerful swing with both palms.

Two powerful white pillars of energy engulfed the bronze man, and all the hairs on his body were driven into his body, completely sealing off his chakra points!

No sooner said than done, in the blink of an eye!

The other bronze figures also launched an attack!

Eight people joined forces to use the "Vacuum Ten Thousand Paths" technique from the Gentle Fist of the Otsutsuki!

Thousands of books arrived in a dense, imperceptible mass.

As soon as Yu's feet touched the ground, he spun around rapidly, chakra surging from all the acupoints in his body...

——The Eight Trigrams and the Limitless Return to Heaven!

boom!!

That was a massive Heavenly Reversal Technique that covered almost half of the training ground! Clang clang clang clang clang!! Every second, tens of thousands of books were shot down, and even more thousands more were launched.

The revival lasted for a full minute before it began to wane.

The rain of a thousand chakra has also come to an end, because this move consumes a considerable amount of chakra!

"Huff, huff..." After the Returning Heaven stopped, in the center of the sunken area of ​​the earth, Yu's back, chest, and arms were all pierced by thousands of needles. It can be seen that even his Returning Heaven had not completely blocked the combined attack of the eight mechanical bronze men.

The eight mechanical bronze figures, who had been working together, paused for a moment. Five of the bronze figures simultaneously released mechanical chains from their palms. Yu, whose acupoints were sealed, was unable to avoid these chains and his limbs and torso were bound!

Glug glug! Crack crack!

Behind the bronze men formation, the only bronze man who had never made a move absorbed the two bronze men that had been defeated first, taking advantage of the time his companions had bought him. His body became incredibly burly, and he grew three heads and six arms!

"Damn it... I didn't know until now that these guys can absorb their own kind."

Whoosh! Amidst laughter and curses, Yu was pulled into the air by the bronze figure manipulating the chains!

boom!

The bronze man with three heads and six arms shattered the ground and leaped into the air... His fists rained down like a storm, each punch landing squarely on Yu's flesh and blood!

Thump thump thump thump thump thump...!

Each punch was accompanied by a heavy thud and ripples spreading through the air!

The mechanical chains that bound Yu had long been shattered... Yu was like a small boat adrift in a storm, only able to passively take the beating!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Finally, the bronze figure's six fists came together in mid-air and slammed down heavily onto Yu's abdomen...

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The rubble was sent flying hundreds of meters high, and dust filled the training ground.

“…” Might Guy, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He wondered what his chances of winning would be if he faced these bronze men without opening the Gate of Death.

With a whoosh, Yu stood up from the depths of the ravaged earth... Blood flowed down her wounded body to her feet.

call out!

Green steam rose from his body.

The Eight Gates are being opened.

Open the gate, the gate of life, the gate of rest... When he reached the fourth gate of injury, Yu clenched his fist tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. The senbon that had been punched into his body by the bronze man's fist was all shaken out and shot back into the ceiling and walls, its tails trembling wildly!

—The Fifth Gate of Du—Open!

boom!

Green flames rose a hundred meters, dispersing the smoke and dust!

Meanwhile, the mechanical bronze figures unleashed their final trump card... each of them stepped on the shoulders of two others, stacking themselves into six three-headed, six-armed mechanical bronze figures!

“Interesting, huh…” Yu grinned, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

—The Sixth Scene Gate Opens!

Boom! The aura intensified several times, long hair stood on end, and feathered skin turned fiery red.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another... In the arena, one after another, the combined mechanical bronze figures were instantly killed by the explosive punches!

Off the field, Might Guy, with his short hair flying and a solemn expression, said, "The stronger an individual's chakra, the greater the power contained within the Eight Gates that seal their potential, and the greater the corresponding risks and the higher the threshold."

"For someone of Obito's chakra level, ignoring physical aging, it would take at least a thousand years of continuous training to successfully open the 'Gate of Death'. If he forced it open, his body would sublimate into a gaseous state and perish the moment the Gate of Death was opened."

"A person's lifespan is about a hundred years. I told him to set the Seventh Gate of Shock as his ultimate goal. I never expected that he would open the Sixth Gate of Shock in just six years. This person is not only incredibly talented, but most importantly, he is extremely ruthless to himself..."

Boom! With the last bronze statue destroyed, the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation was broken.

"Huff, huff, huff, huff..." Yu was released from the Six Gates state, panting heavily with sweat all over his body.

"Congratulations, you've finally made it this far." Kai walked over and offered his sincere congratulations.

The day the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation is broken will be the day the devilish training ends; this is Yu's plan.

Indeed, Yu has exceeded expectations. His dormant chakra has been activated through training, and even if he undergoes more intense training, the effect will be minimal.

Yu said solemnly, "Kai, thank you for your companionship over the past six years..."

Kai exclaimed passionately, "We're in the same boat! We're progressing together! Hand in hand, our youth has become intertwined!"

*Clap!* Yu and Kai high-fived to express their friendship.

Lowering his hand, Yu said, "Although my taijutsu training has come to an end, I will not give up taijutsu. No matter how much I train, I will never be able to shake your status as the number one taijutsu master in the ninja world!"

Kai smiled noncommittally at this.

Yu waved his hand: "From today onwards, this training ground is yours alone..."

Click!Click!Click!

The destroyed mechanical bronze figures repaired themselves and remained in place, needing time to recharge before regaining their power.

……

In the evening, in the office, Yu looked at Kakashi's handwritten letter.

In the past six months, Kakashi has submitted his resignation multiple times, expressing his desire to retire from the position of Hokage and give the opportunity to younger people.

Yu, of course, tried his best to retain them, otherwise it would seem like he didn't value his subordinates enough.

And so it went, with push and pull several times.

Yu put down the letter and murmured, "It seems Kakashi has made up his mind this time."

"Hmm...hmm, he said that if one cannot use clones as freely as Lord Yu, one cannot balance the role of Hokage with the improvement of one's strength...hmm."

At the table, Saori stood with an elegant posture, but she tightened her legs.

Buzzing... something is making a constant noise.

Yu didn't care what was making the noise: "Indeed, Ying is a manager, but that no longer represents strength..."

Yu stood up, opened the window, looked at the evening clouds, and said with hope, "In these six years... the new generation of the various vassal states has grown up and is no less capable than their own shadows."

Nadeshiko Saori asked, "Um... then, how should we respond to Hokage Kakashi's resignation?"

Yu turned around, signed 'Agree' on the Yu Emperor's opinion, and then stamped it with the Yu Emperor's personal seal.

"Let's agree to Kakashi's retirement. Let him stay in office for one last month to complete the handover work, and then officially move to the Feather Emperor City."

"So, in this month, the Konoha-affiliated countries will elect a new Hokage, right?"

Yu gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with eagerness, and said, "Hmm... Naruto and Sasuke, after seven years of experience as city lords, their strength and vision are more than enough to qualify them for the position of Hokage. It's time for them to return home in glory!"

Chapter 738 The Ancestor Returns, Returning Home in Glory

Phantom City, Ghost City.

Over the course of eight years, under the leadership of Sasuke and Naruto, the capital city has developed into an even more prosperous metropolis than ever before.

Their new city lord took office today.

Today is also the day they return home in glory.

Ghost Shadow City, City Lord's Mansion.

Naruto Uzumaki carefully organized all his personal belongings, storing them in a scroll. He stroked the spotless file, his expression one of reminiscence.

He hung the key to the city lord's mansion on the stone pillar, took one last look, put on his straw hat, and turned to walk out the door.

It was raining quite heavily, but the streets were lined with people who came to see him off.

"Fellow villagers, this is..."

Naruto froze as soon as he stepped out.

Then came the boisterous farewell ceremony!

"Naruto, have a safe journey!"

"Naruto, you need to eat properly!"

"Naruto, settle down and have a big, healthy son soon!"
