Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Ubiquitous smiled as he faced death: "Ryushiki, although we chose different paths, your teacher will always be proud of you..."

……

The memory ends, and thoughts return to the present: the Land of the Dead, the Great Wa Toyoakitsu, and Yuhe Uhiji.

Chapter 921 The Dragon's Past, The Finishing Touch

After listening to Yubiji's story, Yu was unable to calm down for a long time.

He never dreamed that Long Shi's life would be so epic and moving, and that for the first time, he would feel a sense of kinship with his enemy.

Dragon Style... This soul, born in the Naruto world, actually wandered through the three-dimensional world as an observer before it was born from its mother!

The truth that even the narrator, Yubiji, was unaware of, Yu knew perfectly well.

When I first heard it, it's no exaggeration to say that my hair stood on end.

Although he differs from genuine transmigrators like himself and Wan Sheng, Long Shi's resume is undeniably exceptional...

What an exciting development...

Yu's battle blood boiled again after a long time.

And there's that Toad Immortal Ancestor's dying prophecy.

"Heaven and earth unite, reversing the course of fate, truly amazing, they even foresaw this step..."

Yubi-ni poured herself another cup of tea to moisten her slightly dry throat.

"Heaven and earth unite, and the universe is reversed. I have been pondering the true meaning of this prophecy since I died, until your appearance... I finally understand."

"To reverse the tide, you, a person on earth, cannot do it by your own strength, nor can Long Shi, a person in the heavens, do it by his own strength alone. If heaven and earth are united through a bond called 'wedge,' perhaps a miracle can be created."

Yu smiled and said, "So, that's what you think too, teacher."

Ubiji said, "I just don't know if Ryushiki has grasped this meaning... but I think the chances are very slim."

Yu asked in surprise, "The chances are slim? Someone as intelligent as Long Shi hasn't thought of this in all these years?"

Ubiquitous shook his head, saying helplessly, "You don't know yet, do you? The Wedge Reincarnation Method, created by the Dragon Style to prolong the lives of its people, cannot benefit him himself..."

"What!?" Yu was utterly astonished: "What on earth is going on?"

Ubiji said, "His current power is beyond imagination. Looking at the entire Ashihara Kingdom, no one is qualified to be his 'vessel'. This is the news I heard from Yama. About 100 years ago, when Ryushi was 2600 years old, he had mastered the Boundless Immortal Technique and was looking for a vessel for his reincarnation."

100 years ago... that ninja world wasn't even in the Warring States period yet; Hashirama and Madara hadn't even been born.

Ubiji said, "Ryushi drove the wedge into the body of the strongest person in the Jianzhou Kingdom, but that very night, the strongest person died suddenly. From that moment on, Ryushi gave up hope of reincarnation using the wedge, and naturally stopped thinking about it..."

At this point, Ubiquitous looked at the shocked Yu and said meaningfully, "Of course... if the Dragon Clan knew of your existence, that would be a different story. Right now, a battle between you two is inevitable..."

Ubijiri's unspoken meaning is that Yu is now undoubtedly qualified to be a weapon of the Dragon Style, but the Dragon Style may not know it.

Yu's gaze was low... Yudi's previous account not only made him re-understand Ryushiki, but also redefined the teacher-student relationship between Yudi and Ryushiki.

They didn't become enemies; rather, they voluntarily made the sacrifice.

In a sense, this is the deepest bond.

Then, Ubiquitous's motives for helping him seem somewhat...

Yu Bidi's gaze seemed to pierce through people's hearts, seeing the deepest worry in Yu's heart. He stood up and turned his back to Yu: "Disciple, the time I have spent with you is very limited. To be honest, the bond between me and Long Shi is indeed deeper than yours..."

Yu hurriedly turned around to explain, "Teacher, I..."

Ubi-ji raised his hand to interrupt Yu's explanation and opened his heart, saying, "My teacher's wish has always been the same: to end our clan's long-standing absolute dominion over all living beings and all things..."

"Then establish a new order that is more suitable for human survival."

"The answer that Long Shi gave back then neither denied the race nor denied humanity. He always used his own way to ease the conflict between the race and humanity. Even if it was somewhat unfair to humanity as the inferior beings, from the perspective of a celestial being, he had truly done everything he could."

Yu nodded. He had to admit one thing: if he were in Long Shi's position, he might not have the same magnanimity and tolerance as Long Shi.

Ubidir's back was somber, his words tinged with the weight of time: "The unification of heaven and earth is achieved through the 'wedge' created by the celestial beings. After unification, the celestial beings become the subject, while the earthly beings serve as the vessel. Knowing the truth, they are naturally unwilling to be sacrificed. Therefore, the research you had 'Amado' undertake was a method of reversing roles, making the earthly beings the subject. From their respective perspectives, no one is wrong..."

"But the Dragon Clan has lost too much so far..."

“One by one, Tensato, his best friend; Suhito and I, his elders; Sona, his lover; and Kokoro, his family and friends, all left him…”

"The more one pursues power, the easier it is to lose oneself and one's original aspirations. What one loses are precisely the key factors that control the variables..."

"On the path to becoming stronger in order to change his race and achieve his own goals, the only thing that can restrain him is his pure dedication to his race and to humanity..."

Yu fell into deep thought. Using the story of Naruto as a mirror, the only one qualified to represent the spirit of dedication was Uchiha Itachi. But Itachi's greatest source of support for his dedication was his beloved younger brother, Sasuke.

"Even if he successfully reincarnates using your body and achieves the 'unity of heaven and earth' mentioned by the Toad Immortal Ancestor, I don't believe that the now solitary Dragon Style can make it to the end with pure dedication, no..."

Ubi-Dir clenched his fists behind his back, his tightly closed eyes trembling with unbearable sorrow: "It's my heart that can't bear to see him walk alone for a thousand years, ten thousand years..."

At this point, Ubidear turned and looked directly at Yu: "Therefore, my final choice is to stand by your side. You have many people who will walk alongside you, so the possibility of you losing yourself in the future is very small..."

"Your teacher has only one request for you: if you lose to Long Shi two years from now, don't hold a grudge, because his strength is indeed far superior to yours, and defeat is to be expected. If you are fortunate enough to win, remember to return the favor to him..."

Yu said with utmost seriousness, "Teacher, please rest assured, I have remembered!"

Ubiquitous patted Yu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Go prepare for the battle. In two years, everything will be decided..."

After Yu left, Ubiji sighed inwardly, "Ryushiki, we are both people who sacrificed ourselves for our ideals. I hope you can understand what our teacher did..."

The two ten-tailed creatures retrieved from Yama and Hama were arranged as follows.

The Ten-Tails was divided into eight parts and sealed into Kushina and Minato respectively.

Why not seal the entire Ten-Tails to Kushina? Because although Kushina's chakra is strong enough to suppress the Nine-Tails, the Ten-Tails and the Nine-Tails are fundamentally different. Kushina is not yet capable of handling a complete Ten-Tails on her own, so she shared the burden with Minato.

The second Ten-Tails, Yu brought back to the present world and sealed it inside Mito Uzumaki.

Thus, following Hashirama and Madara, Mito also became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!

Then, in preparation for the catastrophe two years later, Yu and the elite pillars of the Ninja Kingdom devoted themselves to training. Even if it could only increase their chances of winning by one percent, they would give it their all!

Not for grand ambitions, but simply to live a down-to-earth life!

Fortunately, thanks to the Infinite Kotoamatsukami, there are no more enemies in the ninja world today... Everything is peaceful in this world.

Calmness...is the calm before the storm!

Time flies... Two years have passed in the blink of an eye!

Chapter 922 The Great Calamity of a Thousand Years, Opening a Book is Beneficial

An unnamed lake is frozen over. A goose walks on the ice. A boy with a golden pineapple-shaped haircut shouts from the lakeside, "Fly! Ganbatte!!!"

"quack……!"

The goose struggled to flap its short, weak wings, seemingly reluctant, yet also unwilling to disappoint the boy's expectations, attempting to take off again and again, its posture one of utter misery.

At the bridgehead where snow was falling, a blind old man sat cross-legged, his wooden clogs clasped together, a long knife resting on his lap. He was not optimistic about the boy's actions.

"Everything has its destiny; its life does not belong to the sky..."

The boy firmly believed: "Enough talk!! As long as you have the belief to soar through the sky, even a goose swimming in the water can definitely fly into the sky!"

The old man shook his head: "I bet it can't fly..."

"Fly! Ganbatte! Just a little bit more!! Try again, don't give up!!!"

The boy shouted tirelessly.

Finally, a miracle happened... The goose really took flight, wobbling but determined, and flew to the other side of the lake!

The pineapple-headed boy jumped up excitedly: "Yes!!! I knew it, I could do it!!!"

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the speechless old man beside him, and smiled, "Well, uncle, wasn't I right? It will definitely be able to fly!"

The old man exclaimed, "I never thought it would actually fly! It's incredible! Has the world really changed?"

The boy, cradling the back of his head, stepped forward and sat down beside the old man, asking without any hesitation, "Uncle, where are you from?"

The old man stroked the soft wooden scabbard with his old hand and said indifferently, "A down-on-his-luck warrior, I don't care about his origins."

"Down on their luck?" The young man pointed at the landscape and said, "A samurai becomes down on his luck because he abandons the beliefs he holds dear!"

“Belief…” The old man’s aged white pupils flashed.

The boy said firmly, "Why are you wielding that sword...? You must have forgotten the most important thing!"

The old man looked at him with newfound respect and said, "What are you waving for? Interesting young man, you remind me of my teacher's teachings... May I ask your name?"

The boy patted his chest and said, "Boruto, my name is Uzumaki Boruto!"

The old man asked in surprise, "Whirlpool...you are a descendant of the Whirlpool clan. So, your father is?"

Boruto's face flashed with reproach: "I don't want to mention that person's name. To be honest, Uncle, the reason I snuck out this time is because I don't want to see him..."

The old man murmured, "So... he had a conflict with his own father?"

"Let's not talk about that anymore." Boruto stood up and said confidently, "Uncle, I know that a samurai's conviction is contained within his katana, so I want to help you find your lost conviction!"

The old man asked curiously, "Oh? How do you find it...?"

Boruto laughed and said, "Draw your sword!"

"This is probably not appropriate..." the old man said with concern.

Boruto confidently declared, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm incredibly strong! Ordinary swordsmanship can't hurt me at all!"

"Hmm...Is that so?" The old man nodded and stood up. "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Boruto asked, "By the way, uncle, I haven't asked yet, what's your name?"

"My name is Zatoichi." Zatoichi calmly stated his name, his powerful hand already gripping the hilt of his sword. "So, Lord Boruto, are you ready?"

“Zato…Ichi?” Boruto murmured, his expression suddenly changing.

Wait...wait a minute!! Boruto wanted to call for a stop, but for some reason, his throat felt like it was blocked by a wad of cotton, and he couldn't shout at all!

One-sword style o Iai!

chap!
