Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Several days later.

Outside Amegakure, atop a tall tower, Nagato stood inside a chakra transfer device, his back riddled with black rods.

Creak, the iron gate opened...

Xiao Nan walked in, wearing Xiao's Fire Cloud Robe, and a black lip piercing under her pale lips.

Beside her stood a handsome, brown-haired man with a cold and ruthless expression. He was also dressed in a fiery cloud robe, and black rods were distributed on his nose and ears. He was none other than Pain, whose predecessor was... Yahiko.

“I never imagined that I would be able to fight alongside Yahiko again, Mr. Yu. This is all thanks to you.” Nagato looked at the shadow beside him.

There, Lin Yu stood up and draped a black cloak over his shoulders: "It's nothing. This will both compensate for your lack of mobility and protect your true form. Well then, I should leave..."

"Mr. Yu, I will always respect you as the leader behind Akatsuki!" Nagato said fervently to Lin Yu's back.

"Hmm." Lin Yu paused slightly and responded with a faint sound.

Watching Lin Yu leave, Nagato looked at Pain and said, "And the leader of Akatsuki, it will always be you, Yahiko..."

"What should we do next?" Xiao Nan asked.

Pain said, "Let's follow Mr. Yu's suggestion. First, we'll gather rogue ninjas from various countries, regardless of their background or experience, focusing only on their strength. We'll transform Akatsuki into a transnational mercenary organization to accumulate wealth and power. Once the time is right, we'll begin collecting the tailed beasts..."

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled through the oppressive clouds, a mournful cry from the sky.

Lin Yu stood in the rain, looking back in the direction of Amegakure, and murmured, "This small country that weeps all year round is most suitable for darkness to take root... Today, Pain is born."

Chapter 10 The Rising Fame of Yu!

After settling things with Nagato and Akatsuki, Lin Yu didn't rest. He decided to finalize some things before Orochimaru produced any results...

Life is inseparable from food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and the world of Naruto is no different.

Lin Yu wasn't particular about clothing; the black robe left by Ban perfectly suited his aesthetic.

Its divine power is unmatched, even by the Raikage of the post-Naruto era.

The accommodations are so-so. There's a bed in the underground base, and a bunch of White Zetsu to keep me company, so it's not boring. The only thing missing is a woman—someone with body heat and the ability to move on her own…

As for food, thanks to the cells of the First Hokage, he can live without eating.

However, just because eating isn't essential doesn't mean he doesn't want to eat...

For example, he had always wanted to try the legendary Ichiraku Ramen.

Unfortunately, there was no money. Among Madara's legacy were his ninja tools, ninjutsu, and even the Gedo Mazo, but there was no money...

This is understandable, since Madara is a person who is far removed from worldly affairs and has dedicated his life to the Eye of the Moon Project. He has long lost interest in worldly pleasures and therefore does not need money.

But Lin Yu is different.

Some might ask, given Lin Yu's abilities, what's wrong with not paying the bill after eating? He can just take whatever he wants and who can stop him? But bullying ordinary people is not Lin Yu's style.

So, he needed money, but he didn't have any, so he decided to make some.

Ninjas have a variety of ways to make money.

The lowest level of banditry, such as highway robbers or bandits, involves robbing ordinary people and merchants. Lin Yu would certainly not consider this method.

A slightly higher level of employment would involve being hired by an individual or organization to protect specific individuals or assassinate designated targets. Lin Yu didn't like that either, because being hired by someone meant having to be subservient to them, which didn't align with the freedom he longed for.

Another option is to serve the ninja village and earn rewards for missions. Lin Yu is not considering this for the time being. Although he could officially return to Konoha as Uchiha Obito, he does not want to have too deep a bond with the people of Konoha. After all, what he is plotting will inevitably cause friction and even war with Konoha. Unnecessary bonds will only hold him back when he takes action.

He was once indecisive, but in the world of Naruto, he only wanted to move forward towards his goal with unwavering determination. In a sense, his ninja way coincided with Naruto's...

Therefore, he decided to learn from Kakuzu's way of making money! Kakuzu's way of making money!

Hunt down the ninjas on the bounty list and exchange them for high rewards at the gold exchange!

At the Valley of the End, a waterfall cascades down, and Lin Yu sits atop the statue of the First Hokage.

Gurgle... White Zetsu emerged from a nearby rock.

"Found it?" Lin Yu asked.

"Seriously, you're really bored, looking for this kind of random stuff..."

While making sarcastic remarks, Bai Jue placed a "List of Wanted Persons" next to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu picked it up and started flipping through it.

This roster lists the wanted persons from various ninja villages, and ranks them according to the bounty amount...

Following the principle of proximity, Lin Yu opened the Konoha ninja bounty list.

A ninja who makes it onto the bounty list must possess considerable strength; ordinary genin and chunin are not qualified.

At the very least, they must be at the level of a Special Jonin, or a threatening rogue ninja...

In addition, the bounty for most ninjas is between 500 million and 1000 million taels.

Those ninjas with a power level exceeding 1000 million are either exceptionally strong or pose a high level of danger...

Kabuto Yakushi, a Konoha spy, a rogue ninja, with a bounty of 1000 million ryo.

Lin Yu ignored him and turned to the back.

Kakashi Hatake, son of White Fang, a Jonin of Konoha, has a bounty of 1300 million ryo, but there is a red cross on the number 1300 million, so it has been corrected to 1100 million ryo.

"Oh? Kakashi's bounty is 200 million taels lower than expected..."

"This is all thanks to you~"

"Oh."

That's right. The first thing Lin Yu did after transmigrating was to gouge out Kakashi's eyes, which would inevitably reduce Kakashi's value in the eyes of his sugar daddy.

However, in the long run, Kakashi has a greater potential for development even without the Sharingan. He didn't have much chakra to begin with, and gaining the Sharingan midway through his life forcibly changed his growth path, which undoubtedly greatly limited his original prospects. Kakashi is the son of Konoha's White Fang and specializes in the secret techniques left behind by White Fang, so he may very well reach Kage-level strength...

Lin Yu flipped through it again.

Sarutobi Asuma, a Jonin of Konoha, son of the Third Hokage, with a bounty of 1500 million ryo.

"I remember Asuma's bounty at his peak was 3500 million ryo. Oh, that must have been after he became one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas..." Lin Yu murmured as he continued flipping through the pages.

From it, he found the bounty lists of almost everyone, including Konoha's elite Jonin, the legendary Sannin, and even the Third and Fourth Hokage...

The bounties of Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, and Konoha's Ino-Shika-Cho trio are 2000 million, 2500 million, and 2800 million respectively, which are basically in line with their strength.

The bounties for Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, the three legendary Sannin, are roughly the same: 5000 million, 5200 million, and 5500 million respectively. Orochimaru's slightly higher bounty is likely due to his involvement in dangerous experiments and his notorious reputation.

As for the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, their bounties were 6600 million and 7700 million respectively.

The strength of the Third Hokage at his peak was no less than that of the young Minato. The reason for such a large difference was probably because the Third Hokage was gentle in his dealings and offended fewer people.

These people are regulars on the bounty list; the bounty is always there, but no one dares to claim it, because they have to consider their own capabilities…

Lin Yu flipped to the last page of the Konoha section and was surprised to find that a new page had been added to the roster.

"Um???"

Upon seeing this, his expression turned strange.

Uchiha Yu, whose true identity is unknown, assisted the rogue ninja of Amegakure in escaping the pursuit of Amegakure chief Hanzo. His strength was acknowledged by Hanzo, who considered him a ninja whose strength was on par with his own.

Bounty: 8000 million taels.

Photo: Missing.

Abilities: Unknown.

"This news leaked way too fast..." Lin Yu murmured.

Hanzo was indeed true to his word; he said his name would spread throughout the Five Great Nations, and I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

“Many ninjas are asking about you now, including the ANBU of the Five Great Nations…” White Zetsu said from the side.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Any enemy that blocks my path will only have one fate: death..." Lin Yu said indifferently.

"So, who's the unlucky one today?" Bai Jue asked jokingly.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, flipped through a few pages of the roster, and pointed: "It's him."

Kitsuke, the ninja in the photo has a very fierce appearance, a Konoha rogue ninja, with a bounty of 1600 million ryo...

"Oh~ this guy, he's a Jonin from Konoha. A month ago, he failed to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and defected from Konoha. He's currently being hunted down by Konoha's Anbu..." White Zetsu said.

"Where is it?" Lin Yu asked.

“You’re lucky. You marked the forest not far from here last time,” Zetsu said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and take these 1600 million taels..."

Whoosh! Lin Yu disappeared into the vortex of divine power.

Chapter 11 An Unexpected Joy!

call out!

In the forest, a vortex appeared, and Lin Yu landed on the ground. After looking around with his Sharingan, he picked up a branch.

“There are signs of trampling at the front, but the back was cut off with a sharp blade. It’s a deliberate illusion created to mislead the pursuers. Is the real escape direction this way…” Lin Yu looked towards the 4 o’clock direction.

Zetsu sighed inwardly: Yu's intelligence analysis ability is gradually becoming more and more perfect. Even without the Sharingan and Hashirama's artificial body, he would probably become an excellent ninja...

Lin Yu chased after Bei Jie in the direction he had fled.

Along the way, he discovered tiny, almost imperceptible threads attached to the tree trunks and rocks, connecting to explosive tag traps.

"A trap? Fine, I'll use it against you..." Lin Yu casually shot out a kunai, severing the thin thread.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions echoed through the woods.

Hokusuke, who was fleeing towards the forest exit, heard an explosion behind him and stopped to check on a tree trunk.

He wore a Konoha headband with a horizontal line drawn in the middle with a kunai, which was the standard for rogue ninja.

"Did my trap work...?" Hokusuke breathed a sigh of relief and took out a soldier's ration pill.

Whoosh! A dark figure sped towards them from the edge of the horizon.

Whoosh! Kitasuke threw a kunai at the shadowy figure!
