Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Suddenly... his flying figure came to an abrupt halt in mid-air!

Tensato's face showed deep shock: "Releasing chakra from the chakra points is the most basic skill of our clan, but he almost blocked the attack with just that...?"

"It hurts so much...!" Dragon's consciousness was beginning to fade.

This was his first battle in his life, and also his first time being wounded, and by the hand of his closest loved one... The double blow to his body and mind made him desperately want to shut himself off!

Looking at this dragon-style formation, Tensato couldn't bear it: "Dragon Form..."

In Ryu's unfocused gaze, he saw Tensato's conflicted and struggling face.

"Tensa Tou..." As if realizing what was about to happen, Ryushiki shouted in a hoarse voice, "Run!!!"

Noisy!

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Shi's eyes turned dark, the pain and urgency vanished, replaced by indifference!

The effect of the shikigami that grants you life... If the caster loses consciousness, the shikigami will automatically take over the body and annihilate all those in the surrounding area who are hostile!

This process... the dragon-like consciousness can witness it, but cannot intervene in any way!

click!

The dragon-like claws pierced through Tensato's heart mercilessly!

"Dragon Style...you really are unbelievably strong." Tensato smiled palely, then collapsed into a pool of blood after Dragon Style's claws withdrew. "But, this is for the best..."

Dark clouds covered the sky above Mount Phiba.

Otsutsuki Genri, very timely, led more than a hundred branch family experts to surround Ryushiki.

His chest, a bloody mess, oozing blood, seemed oblivious as a knowing smile played on his lips: "Now, you'll have to deal with it yourself."

Noisy!

Regardless of Ryu's subjective will, the shikigami who was given the life of Dou Ni willingly surrendered its body.

"Long Shi, our ancestors have shown you mercy, yet you are ungrateful and slaughter your own kind. As the patriarch in charge of this branch family, how can I tolerate this... I will execute you on the spot!"

Snap! Snap! Snap!

From all directions, layers of 'Diamond Lockdown' bound the dragon's inconspicuous body, and the manipulators fiercely pulled on the chains!

Xuan Li tapped his cane and said coldly, "Make your move!"

Swish!

Dozens of elite disciples of the Gangquan School on the periphery opened the Seventh Gate of Shock together, creating a tremendous shockwave!

Just then... Long Shi's lowered head suddenly rose, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented ferocity!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

A terrible thing happened!

The dozens of branch family members who were pulling hard on the chains suddenly exploded out of thin air... Crash! Blood and flesh scattered everywhere!

The Adamantine Sealing Barrier formed from chakra collapsed!

The elites on the periphery who had activated the Shock Gate Fist Style were so shocked that they stopped their sprinting steps!

"Those chains were clearly sealing his chakra!!"

"How...how did he do that?!"

"Chieftain!!"

Xuan Li stared intently at Long Shi. The blood seeping from the latter's chest and his deathly pale face made him certain of one thing!

"He's already severely injured; that was just a last gasp before his death. Let's all attack and finish him off!"

The disciples of the Gangquan School, shrouded in the aura of the Shock Gate, launched a group attack... Dragon Style moved through the intertwined curtain of fists!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although the opponent's punches missed, the shockwaves from each punch created a bottomless hole in the ground. Although it was a Shock Gate attack, it was comparable to the Evening Elephant attack!

"Why... can't I hit it?!"

"Our attack should have left almost no openings!!"

"Could it be that the attack penetrated his body? How is that possible?!"

There was no gap... but that was just their perception. The tiny, negligible time difference created a gap that existed only for a fleeting moment. The dragon-style maneuvered through those gaps, creating the illusion of a penetrating attack!

Xuan Li gripped his cane tightly, his gaze icy: "Attack... Tensa Tou!"

"What!?" Everyone was stunned. After all, Tensato was their senior brother, someone they spent every day with!

Xuan Li shouted, "Quickly! This way we're sure to hit it!"

Two elite members of the Gangken style gritted their teeth and made a desperate move. They leaped into the air, their raised legs intertwined, and fiercely slashed at Tensato, who lay motionless in a pool of blood, seemingly oblivious to his fate!

"!" Ryu's eyes flashed suddenly, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Tensato... Two gray bones suddenly emerged from the back of his neck, blocking the two's domineering kicks!

"This, this, could it be...!?" Upon seeing the gray bones beneath their feet, the two were terrified and quickly pulled away.

*Snap! Snap!* In a flash, the ash bones pierced through their chests, and their bodies disintegrated into ashes in mid-air!

"Awoooo ...

The dragon-like body suddenly straightened up, and with a series of cracking sounds, one after another, jagged gray bones emerged from his shoulders, chest, and spine.

Xuan Li's gaze trembled. He clenched the ancient staff so tightly that it left an imprint on his palm: "The Corpse Bone Vein, a symbol of advanced ancestral atonement in my clan. So, it's not just his eye power, but even his body... He truly is a monster."

"Very well... He's made such a huge mess, the clan will absolutely not tolerate him, there's no need for me to get involved."

Noisy!

Xuan Li turned his eyes, a dark flash appeared, and he vanished into the void behind him, his aura disappearing completely.

Whoosh! The dragon rose into the sky, flicking its sleeves...

—Together, we kill the ashes and rain!

Swish!

Ashes, a symbol of extinction, fell like a sudden rain.

"Ughhhhhhhh...!"

In an instant... the summit of Mount Biba was transformed into an ocean of ashes!

Chapter 904 The Dragon's Past, or Leaping from the Abyss

At the summit of Mount Bipo, amidst the scattered ashes, there were pools of bone fragments.

Whoosh! The wind scattered the ashes, and Long Shi landed in the empty area he had previously deliberately avoided, looking at the dying Tian Suo Dou with a sorrowful expression.

Tensadou's unfocused pupils shifted slightly upwards, and a faint smile appeared on his barely breathing face: "How was the battle? Not bad, right?"

"..." Long Shi remained silent. Even though he was mentally resisting all of this, his body wouldn't lie. The battle brought him an unprecedented sense of joy and release.

Long Shi said, "I don't like fighting for killing. I prefer what you said... fighting for protection."

Tian Shadou said, "Protecting yourself is also protecting others. Fight for yourself, fight for survival. One day, you will find someone who is 'truly' worthy of your protection."

"..." Ryushi didn't respond. A line slid down his face, and a salty tear fell from the end onto Tensato's face.

Tensadou said with a complicated expression, "Oh dear, are you shedding tears for me? How pathetic! I was just about to kill you, but to protect someone more important to me, I must shamelessly go to the Yellow Springs with you..."

Long Shi wiped away his tears and said solemnly, "Tensadou, I don't blame you."

Upon hearing these words, Tensato's heart trembled violently. These were the words of salvation he had longed to hear most deeply. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he sincerely said, "Thank you."

As life faded away, Tensato could no longer even open his eyes. He weakly said, "Ryushiki, hold a funeral for me, cremation..."

Dragon Style: "It will hurt a lot."

Tensato: "Compared to your suffering, this is nothing. Besides... I've been drifting along all my life, and in the end, I hope to be able to choose how I die."

Long Shi slowly and hesitantly reached out his hand.

Bear!

Flames adorned Tensato's body; this was his final farewell to his only true friend!

Bathed in the raging flames, Tensato sighed, "Ryushiki, do you know that after death, all souls, including those of my clan, go to another world? The master of that world was our clan's strongest enemy in ancient times, like a sword hanging over everyone's head. If you live, all is well; if you die, you must face his judgment. This is what is called karma."

Ryushiki said, "Tensadou, you are a victim of the darkness of this clan. I think the person you mentioned shouldn't make things too difficult for you."

“You always think too highly of people…” Tensato said with a helpless smile, “But if I am lucky enough not to go to hell and can be reincarnated one day, I really don’t want to be born into this clan. I would rather be reincarnated into a lower realm and grow up in a quiet and peaceful village.”

Long Shi sincerely said, "I will bless you, Tian Suo Dou."

Tensato said, "I only hope that when that day comes, we won't meet again, and that we can each walk peacefully to the end on our own paths that never intersect. I really don't want to be your enemy again."

This statement is not difficult to understand. Ryushiki has the position of a celestial being, and his appearance in the mortal realm means bloodshed and chaos. As a reincarnation of a mortal being, Tensadou must have a new position and must fight to protect his land!

Long Shi, however, had his own different understanding: "It doesn't matter if we meet again. Forget the memories of your past life, don't be bound by the past, fight for yourself, and for the people you will meet in the future, just like this flame, free and blazing..."

"Flame, freedom, intensity, that's not bad..."

Amidst the flames, Tensato's body dissipated, but his soul, carrying the color and heat of the fire, soared into the sky and vanished into the heavens in an instant!

Ryushiki closed his eyes. The wound on his chest, left by Tensato, began to heal, leaving a shallow indentation as a memorial to his brief but tumultuous bond with Tensato.

Opening his eyes, Long Shi knew perfectly well that his path had come to an end.

Instead of heading towards the larger world beyond Mount Biba, he turned back to the family's territory, encountering no obstacles along the way.

When the descendants of the branch family saw him, they all avoided him like the plague... but their eyes looked at him as if he were a dead man.

Long Shi was like an observer detached from the world. He came to the Tongtian River, stood on the floating bridge of the sky, and looked at the turbulent and murky river!

Suddenly, he closed his eyes, leaned back, and plummeted straight into the Tongtian River!

Due to the limitations of the laws, no matter how powerful a dragon is at this moment, it will surely die if it comes into contact with this river!

Swish!

His body was suspended a foot above the river surface when a splash suddenly appeared, its top just a hair's breadth from his neck!

"This is the critical point between life and death, it seems there's nothing to be afraid of..."

Ryushiki did the same thing as Itachi when he was young: he personally experienced death and gained insight into life in the space between life and death.
