Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Shikamaru explained the Dragon Style's abilities one by one, acknowledging its power while pointing out its limitations and countermeasures, so that everyone wouldn't lose the courage to face it.

But no one knew that Yu and Shikamaru had a private conversation last night.

"Honestly, Shikamaru, based on the information I've provided you, what do you think our chances of winning are?"

"..." Shikamaru hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopped.

"Speak with confidence, I am mentally prepared."

Shikamaru pondered, "Based on the current intelligence, our chances of winning are no more than 0.3%!"

Yu's gaze lowered: "Three per thousand..."

Shikamaru added, "That's a conservative estimate. After all, we know nothing about Ryushiki's growth trajectory over the past thousand years. His abilities are far more than what's on the surface, so our actual chances of winning are even smaller. But there's one thing I can be absolutely certain of: our chances of winning are definitely not zero!"

Yu smiled faintly.

Of course it won't be zero. Madara has the 'Divine Illumination' technique, so even if the opponent is 'Otsutsuki Tsurugi', he has a guaranteed one in ten thousand chance of winning!

Yu said seriously, "Then I'll tell you honestly, Shikamaru, there are just too many variables when facing someone like Ryushiki. More important than specific tactics is mindset..."

"Mindset..."

"Therefore, in tomorrow's operational meeting, compared to strategic deployment, your first priority should be to build up everyone's mindset, so as not to underestimate the enemy and to enhance everyone's confidence in facing the enemy."

Shikamaru nodded: "I understand. I will carefully consider my words tonight, but some ambiguity is definitely necessary."

Yu laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Sometimes, saying things too bluntly only brings despair..."

The operational meeting did not end until evening.

"Your Majesty, during battles, someone must be there to protect our homeland, right?"

"This is what Sarutobi Konohamaru, a representative of today's young ninjas and a second-tier Earth-level ninja, said."

Yu calmly asked, "Oh? Why is that?"

Konohamaru replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we'll wait until we all win the battle, and our comrades who have taken refuge in the neighboring world return home, so they have a place to go!"

Yu said, "There is no need for that. This is a war with no way out. To win, we must first cut off our own escape route."

Konohamaru said, "So you're just going to abandon our homeland?"

Yu shook her head and said, "No, it's not that I'm ignoring it..."

call out!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yu slowly rose into the sky.

"Lord Feather Emperor..." Konohamaru asked blankly.

"Hmm?" Watching Yu's departing figure, Naruto Uzumaki seemed to realize something, his gaze sharpened, and he suddenly clasped his hands together.

Bear!

A massive amount of Ten-Tails chakra, like a flood, enveloped everyone present!

—Flying Thunder God Technique!

call out!

With a flash of golden light, the group was already 100,000 miles away, outside the gates of the Ninja Kingdom.

Konohamaru asked, puzzled, "Naruto-nii, what does Lord Yu-huang want to do?"

Naruto's eyes gleamed with a complex mix of emotions: "I'm afraid it's... a do-or-die situation."

Ten thousand meters above the ground, Yu looked down upon the territory of the Ninja Kingdom. Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick and tile that came into view had long been etched into his heart.

Twenty-one years ago, he led 47 White Zetsu to start from scratch on this land and founded the Dark Village of Ninja, protecting the village's fledglings in the name of the Kage.

Twenty-one years have passed, and the fledglings have grown into eagles. The Hidden Village, now a great nation, reigns supreme over the ninja world!

Every inch of this land is imbued with his hard work and dedication.

But for the sake of tomorrow, Yu is willing to destroy half of his life's work with his own hands!

"Farewell, Dark Shadow. The day the army returns in triumph will be the day the nation is rebuilt!"

Yu spread his arms, his eyes gleaming.

—The End: Shinra Tensei!

boom!

A force field that crushes all things in the universe, sweeping across the eight directions.

Centered on Yuhuang City, 108 hidden cities were instantly wiped out, and nearly a thousand cities in the four major vassal states in the east, west, south, and north were reduced to ruins!

The wind whips up dust and sand, and the clouds turn into rain.

"..." The ninjas who witnessed this tragic scene on the outside all had tears in their eyes, and only one thought in their minds.

call out!

Madara, Hashirama, and Mito descended, their Six Paths and Ten-Tails power transforming into life-sized robes. Apart from Yu and Kaguya, they were undoubtedly the top three strongest ninjas in the Ninja Kingdom!

Yang Yan and Wan Sheng arrived shortly after, and Lin took the children to seek refuge in the neighboring area.

The Five Kage of the past, the Five Kage of the present, the two samurai heroes, the three hidden ninjas, the immortal duo, the three Konoha ninjas, the two current Hokage wives, members of the Akatsuki and Dark Moon... those who should come and those who shouldn't have come, all came.

On the distant mountain peaks lie the Ninja Kingdom's two secret weapons: Shisui and Chisato!

call out!

Huangquan is open than Raozaka.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, accompanied by her two outstanding juniors whom she cared deeply for, Kimimaro and Tayuya, descended upon the land of Mitsuki!

Whoosh! Yu landed before the crowd, the Seeking Dao Jade transforming into a staff. He pointed the staff at the heavens and declared with a resounding voice, "The nation is destroyed, but our families are not. Behind us lies the neighboring realm, where our families and friends await our triumphant return. There is no turning back; we must fight to the bitter end!!!"

"Fight to the death!!!"

Amidst the rising tide of public anger, the Ninja Kingdom has gone all out and is preparing for the impending calamity!

Chapter 926 The Great Calamity of a Thousand Years, Revisiting the Mountains and Rivers

Takamagahara, at the foot of Mount Hiba, on the banks of the Tongtian River.

Whenever a major decision needs to be made, Long Shi would come here to calm his mind.

One thousand one hundred years ago, he personally killed his teacher and contributed his method of reincarnation, becoming a great contributor to his clan!

After that, Long Shi had a smooth career and became the most capable assistant to the second princess, Huiyue. Even Prince Duochimo, who had tried to assassinate him several times, stopped opposing him.

But not everything went as planned.

For the next thousand years, he and Sona remained strangers.

It wasn't until a hundred years ago, when Sona orchestrated the sensational "Heavenly Rock Cave" incident that shook Takamagahara, that the two crossed paths again.

It turns out that Sona possesses a power called the 'Pure Eye', which can nullify the power of gods. Those who awaken the Pure Eye are also regarded as 'the natural enemy of gods'.

Sona's Pure Eye is located on her forehead. She has only one, but its power is equivalent to the fusion of two Pure Eyes, also known as the 'Divine Pure Heavenly Eye'.

The Heavenly Rock Cave is the place where Ubichiri, along with Ryushiki and Sona, traveled back then. It is home to the twelve Divine Trees native to Takamagahara, as well as hundreds of billions of White Zetsu created by Infinite Tsukuyomi!

Dragon Style only found out later that Sona had been eyeing these White Zetsu ever since!

Ten years ago, Sona used the power of her Pure Eye to eliminate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, leaving the White Zetsu in a state of disarray, which then went berserk!

When the rampage of the White Zetsu army was stopped, ten Divine Trees were destroyed. Following the casualties caused by the rebellion of Uhitziri and his sister, Takamagahara suffered the greatest loss in its history!

Sona became the greatest rebel in the history of Takamagahara, using this method to sever ties with her clan forever!

Dragon Style feels an unspeakable pain whenever he recalls the last time he met Sona.

At that moment, Long Shi questioned, "Nana, are you really planning to go down this path to the bitter end?"

Sona said meaningfully, “Heh heh, you should be happy for me, I’ve found a place that suits me!”

Long Shi asked, "What place is that?"

Sona laughed, "Hehehe, I won't tell you~"

Long Shi clenched his fist and questioned, "Then why didn't you leave quietly instead of doing this?"

Sona said matter-of-factly, "Heh heh, knowing the nature of those peasants, they'll make a move on that place sooner or later. Since we've decided to leave, we should naturally try to reduce any potential future problems."

Long Shi had long known that he had fallen in love with an untamed wild horse. He was mentally prepared for today's situation, but when he actually faced it, he was so heartbroken that he lost his composure.

Long Shi said sadly, "Nana... just kill me."

"Huh?" Sona tilted her head. "What did you just say out of the blue?"

Long Shi said resolutely, "Kill me... because sooner or later I will become the 'potential trouble' you mentioned. Your idea is not wrong at all. Since you have decided to betray, you should eliminate the threat as much as possible. And I can die at your hands, which is a worthy death!"

Sona's expression became extremely unstable: "Heh...you, you think this old lady wouldn't dare!!"

Long Shi challenged, "Then do it!"

"Heh, heh, damn it, what nonsense are you spouting? You know I can't bring myself to do it, that's why you're saying this..." Sona grinned, but the smile was bitter.

Long Shi said resolutely, "If you can't do it, then come back with me! I will do everything in my power to plead with the Primordial God for you! I will definitely save you! If you resist, I will take you back even by brute force!"

“Hehe, let me tell you something…” Sona sighed helplessly, and then revealed a secret that had been hidden for many years.

"What!?" Upon hearing that, Long Shi was struck dumb, completely stunned.

hum!

Taking advantage of the moment when Long Shi was distracted, Sona suddenly opened the Divine Eye on her forehead.

—God is pure!

Snapped!

A beam of light exploded on Long Shi's body, causing him to collapse to the ground!

"Huff, huff, huff, huff..." Sona covered her forehead and eyes, trying to regulate her breathing.

Before losing consciousness, Long Shi felt warm lips kissing his own.

Through his blurred vision, he saw Sona weeping, gazing at him with a sorrowful look, saying, "It's a pity we can never go back to the way things were. You have your ambitions, and I have my pursuits... Farewell, the one I love most in this life."

When Ryushiki awoke, Sona was no longer on Takamagahara.
