Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

After leaving the Hokage's office, Kai wiped the sweat from his cheeks: "Phew... I was so nervous. Kakashi, you know I'm terrible at lying. I get nervous and sweaty when I lie, let alone when I'm facing the Hokage."

Kakashi put his arm around Guy's shoulder: "Good job, Guy. You're really reliable in a pinch!"

"Kakashi, please spare me..." Guy said with a bitter face, and the two walked out.

"By the way, didn't you report the red anomaly to the Fourth Hokage?" Kakashi asked seriously halfway through the journey.

"Huh? I was so nervous just now that I forgot about that. I'll go report it right away..." Kai stopped.

The two turned back, but as soon as they reached the Hokage's office, they heard a solemn voice coming from inside.

"That's the intelligence. We've already sent people to Amegakure to confirm the situation..."

Shuimen said, "I never expected such a tragedy to happen at the end of the year. Has it been confirmed who was behind it?"

"It's not confirmed yet, but it's rumored to be closely related to Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization..."

Minato said, "Pain... not long ago in the Land of Grass, he fought against Uchiha Yu and was ultimately defeated. In the blink of an eye, he destroyed Amegakure, led by Hanzo of the Salamander..."

In the original work, Pain destroyed Amegakure without the entire ninja world knowing, until Jiraiya infiltrated Amegakure to investigate.

But this time the news spread like wildfire, for no other reason than... Lin Yu caused too much of a stir!

Minato's voice turned stern: "Akatsuki, an organization that originated in Amegakure during the Third Shinobi World War, has a long-standing feud with Amegakure. Pain's motive this time is likely revenge, and Konoha's Root once assisted Hanzo in his campaign against Akatsuki... Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Pain will retaliate against Konoha next. Jonin should not leave the village recently. Konoha is under martial law!"

"Yes!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Kai fell silent.

Kakashi placed a hand on Guy's shoulder and said, "I really didn't expect something so big to happen. At this critical juncture, let's not cause any more trouble for the teacher because of other things..."

“That makes sense.” Kai nodded, abandoning his plan to report Hong’s unusual emotional state.

The two walked down the street, and Kai looked up at the sky: "The tragedy of Amegakure has taught me that we cannot be complacent even in times of peace, because war could come at any time!"

"Uchiha Yu's strength made me realize my own weakness. I am still far from being good enough! It's time for Konoha's Green Beast to transform into the Azure Beast!"

Kai said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, as my eternal rival, you'd better watch out, lest I surpass you! Tonight's match..."

Kakashi said, "Ah, let's settle this with ramen..."

Kai said, "Well, that's true, considering how badly you're injured..."

Hidden Village.

Whoosh! With the divine power vortex, Lin Yu returned. This 'lively' night filled him with mixed emotions.

"In this ninja world, there are a few special techniques that can even ignore the difference in strength. Death Possession and Reaper Death Seal are examples of techniques that, no matter how strong you are, will almost certainly mean death if you are hit by them. Moreover, there may be other techniques that I am unaware of that pose a similar threat. I was able to escape this calamity tonight thanks to the sacrifice made by Mangetsu, and... my good fortune!"

Lin Yu clenched his fist.

If the Jashin Cult hadn't hesitated from the start and had just chopped off Hidan's head, he probably wouldn't have had any chance to retaliate and would have been killed outright!

The evil god cult has been destroyed, and Hidan has been taken into his time-space. Lin Yu is still considering how to deal with him!

Back in Tianyu Pavilion, Lin Yu saw that Xi Yang and Xi Yan were sleeping soundly. Not wanting to wake them, he gently closed the door and went outside.

"Yu Jun, you seem to have just been through a fierce battle..." A husky voice, both alluring and intellectual, yet also somewhat affectionate, sounded from behind.

Chapter 111 Reanimation Jutsu, and...!

Lin Yu slowly turned around, looked at the alluring and beautiful man behind him, and said with a faint smile, "Orochimaru, you've finally woken up..."

Orochimaru chuckled, "Yu-kun, it seems you've been waiting quite impatiently~ Is it about the plans for the next phase? I'm quite free right now~"

"Then let's talk somewhere else." Lin Yu turned and walked ahead, with Orochimaru following behind.

Behind the Hidden Village.

"Orochimaru, I need you to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique..." Lin Yu went straight to the point.

“Oh~ It’s true that I have mastered this forbidden technique, but I haven’t used it properly yet. Yu-kun, do you want to summon the soul of a dead person back to the mortal world? Could it be…” Orochimaru’s gaze became deep, and the name 'Nohara Rin' instinctively came to mind.

“It’s not her. I don’t want her to return to the mortal world in this way…” Lin Yu seemed to have seen through Orochimaru’s thoughts, shook his head slightly, and then said with a deep gaze.

"What I want are strong individuals worthy of fighting me. Ninjas are far too fragile. No matter how powerful a ninja is, once they die, they have nothing left. And in this world today, how many people are capable of fighting me?"

Lin Yu's voice carried a sense of loneliness, as if he were at a high place.

Yes.

The Third Hokage was already his defeated opponent.

Even with Tsunade's Hundred Healings and Jiraiya's combined strength, they were defeated.

Just last night, Hanzo also died...

Nagato, whose strength is closest to his own, cannot be easily attacked.

Hidan, who was favored by the evil god and could kill himself through unorthodox methods, is now decapitated and awaiting judgment in his own space-time.

Of the five Kage now... only Onoki of the Two Libras and Minato Namikaze can threaten me.

But Onoki is old and will only decline in the future, and sooner or later he will no longer be of interest to Lin Yu.

Minato Namikaze will grow stronger and stronger. Lin Yu looks forward to him reaching his peak and fighting him, but now is not the time.

The new generation of Naruto, Sasuke... has not yet been born, and it will take them a long time to grow up.

So, how will he dispel the loneliness of being high up during this period of downtime? And how will he gain experience and improve his strength through battle?

Yes, Impure World Reincarnation!

Summon the departed heroes!

Their bodies are immortal; no matter how many times they're killed, they'll always regenerate! Is there a more suitable sparring partner?

Lin Yu told Orochimaru his thoughts in detail.

"Only the War God of the Uchiha could come up with such a crazy method. But Yu-kun, is this alright? As far as I know, your eyes seem to be..." Orochimaru asked hesitantly.

"No problem. From now on, unless it's a necessary battle, I will only activate 'Triple Tomoe'. This way, there will be no side effects, and it will also enhance my basic combat abilities..."

As he spoke, Yu clenched his hands tightly: "Moreover, I've also realized something. Hashirama's body still contains immense potential, which can only be unleashed through actual combat training, just like the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, Ashura Otsutsuki..."

Orochimaru agreed, "A very good idea, Yu-kun, I support you..."

Lin Yu lowered his hand: "But before that, I want you to immediately use Edo Tensei to resurrect someone."

"Oh? Who?"

“Hozuki Mangetsu, he sacrificed himself while you were asleep. For this, I destroyed Hanzo and Amegakure, which he commanded.”

"The Impure World Reincarnation requires a portion of the life essence of the dead, as well as... living sacrifices!"

"I've prepared everything for you!"

Whoosh! Lin Yu released a Rain Village ninja from the space-time continuum and took out the blood collected from the scene of Man Yue's death.

"Yu-kun, you are truly far-sighted!" Orochimaru lowered his hands from his chest, wrote the incantation on the ground, and placed the blood of the full moon and the living sacrifice back in their places. Lin Yu stepped back.

Orochimaru forms hand seals.

Yin-Si-Xu-Chen, finally put your hands together in prayer.

"Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation!"

*Sizzle! Sizzle!* The blood disappeared.

"Ah!!!" With a shrill scream from the Rain Village ninja, a large amount of dust rose up and covered his body, turning him into the shape of Hozuki Mangetsu. He was still wearing the clothes he wore before his death, and his skin was covered with cracks unique to the Impure World Reincarnation.

Opening his deep gray pupils, Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Lin Yu before him and said with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect to meet you so soon, Lord Shadow."

Lin Yu said sincerely, "Man Yue, I summoned you in this way to thank you, because without your sacrifice, I wouldn't be standing here safely..."

Full Moon said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just my duty."

"Furthermore, I would like to ask your opinion: would you be willing to continue living in this world in this way?"

Do you want to hear the truth?

"Yes."

"To be honest, I am a dead man. Just as the living instinctively crave to live, the dead instinctively crave to rest. This is what my body is telling me..."

Full Moon looked down at her palm, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a complicated expression, "But I also want to watch my younger brother grow up. This conflicting feeling is truly hard to let go of..."

Lin Yu said solemnly, "Man Yue, no matter what you decide, I will fully respect your wishes. If you are unwilling to act in the Impure World Reincarnation form, I will have Orochimaru release this Impure World Reincarnation. In the future... I will use other methods to truly revive you and let you see your younger brother who has grown up."

Man Yue said, "That kind of technique must require a huge price to pay. I really don't want to cause trouble for others..."

"That……"

"I will continue to act as the captain of the Dark Village's Dark Guard in my impure body until the day Suigetsu grows up..." Mangetsu made his choice.

Lin Yu said, "Don't you want to go see Shuiyue right away? He doesn't know that you've already... It seems you're making a fuss about wanting to see your brother."

After a moment of silence, Man Yue said in surprise, "Perhaps we shouldn't let him see me."

"Why is that?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

Looking at her cracked hands, Man Yue felt a mix of helplessness and sorrow: "Because I can't explain to him these hands that have no warmth..."

Whoosh, a gust of wind blew by, and Lin Yu's face, hidden behind the mask, showed emotion: "Mangetsu, I respect your choice. Furthermore, I promise you that as long as I, Uchiha Yu, am immortal, you, Hozuki Mangetsu, will also be immortal!"

Man Yue smiled and said, "With Lord Shadow's words, I am content."

Bang! Lin Yu took out the scroll containing the ninja sword: "Full Moon, this belongs to you."

After taking the scroll, Man Yue asked, "What are the weaknesses of this Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Lin Yu truthfully replied, "The seal is your only weakness, but even if you are sealed, I will help you break the seal. In other words, you are truly immortal..."

Bang! Man Yue summoned the 'Decapitation Blade' from the scroll, slung it over her shoulder, and then handed the scroll back to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu asked, "Just this one?"

Man Yue said, "Since we have such a convenient body, our fighting style will definitely be based on mutual destruction. Therefore, the most suitable ninja sword is the Executioner's Blade, which can be reborn by being bathed in blood. As for the other ninja swords, let's leave them for the future generations of the village to inherit!"

"I think your younger brother, Hozuki Suigetsu, must be among them!" Lin Yu smiled and put away the scroll.

"I hope so..." Hozuki Mangetsu smiled slightly and disappeared into the night wind, as he continued to fulfill his mission as the captain of the Dark Guard in the Dark Village.

Orochimaru stepped forward and said, "Yu-kun, using the Impure World Reincarnation to find sparring partners for yourself shouldn't be the whole story of your plan, right?"

"You really know me. Indeed, there's another, even more important plan..."
