Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Tensato patted Masato's head and smiled, "I'm fine. I just overexerted myself a little during my training."

From that day on, Elder Xuanmo never mentioned having Mo Shadou cultivate the Eight Gates again.

……

"Brother, are you going out today too?"

"Yes, brother met a pretty nice little guy. He's just like you, hasn't seen much of the world yet~"

"I'm not a kid at all! Besides, I've seen the world. I climbed to the top of Mount Hiba with Oni Mutsuji. Beyond that mountain, there are many, many more mountains, and many more people I've never met!"

After a moment of surprise, Tensato asked, "What are your thoughts on seeing those people?"

"Hmm," Masato Moki said, "Their eyes are rather unpleasant..."

A familiar bitterness appeared on Tian Shadou's face.

"Having seen the world isn't necessarily a good thing, Masato. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll teach you some physical techniques. You have excellent aptitude; even if you don't cultivate the Eight Gates, you should still be an outstanding branch family member in the future!"

"Oh, well..."

Masato ultimately didn't say it aloud; he had already secretly cultivated to the seventh gate of the Eight Gates.

……

Tian Shadou, drinking alone in sorrow.

"Brother, what's wrong? I remember you never drink!"

"Brother, it's alright."

"But brother's eyes are so red! Did you cry?"

"It's really nothing, brother is just a little weak from drinking..."

Tensato raised his eyes, which were reddened, whether from the strong liquor or something else, and gently stroked the fair cheek of the boy in front of him with his calloused hands.

"Masato, if one day, your brother is gone, remember, don't resent anyone..."

"Brother... what are you saying all of a sudden? Brother's not here? How could that be? Is brother going on a long trip?"

"No, my brother was born on this land, he's a local. Even if he travels far, he'll only go to the other side of the mountain... By the way, haven't you been with Oni Muzan lately?"

"Ghost Warrior has been chosen as one of the candidates for the Heavenly Sword. His life will be frozen, and he will slumber until the Heavenly Sword chooses its master again..."

Masato said with a somewhat dejected expression.

"Oh, it's alright... You have a long road ahead of you, and you'll meet like-minded friends sooner or later."

A familiar bitterness flashed across Tian Shadou's lips once again.

Masato seemed to understand something, but he didn't ask any further questions.

The following day, he received the devastating news that Tensato had died at the hands of Ryushiki!

Masato didn't say anything, but he officially joined the Gouken-ryu and became a member of the Otsutsuki clan's elite warriors!

"Brother, I will definitely avenge you!!"

He hung a portrait of Long Shi on his bed, and every day, he devoted himself to cultivating with the goal of killing Long Shi!

As he grew older, Masato learned the truth about his brother's tragic death.

Tensadou was ordered by the clan patriarch Xuanli to kill Longshi, but he was ultimately defeated and killed in retaliation!

The real mastermind is the unapproachable Prince Dochimo of our clan!

His condition for agreeing to carry out this mission was that 'Masato,' his only younger brother, would never be recruited to join the Gouken-ryu clan and die for them!

Tensadou was purely a victim of infighting among the clan's high-ranking members!

Knowing the truth, Masato broke down. His long-held belief in revenge became a joke!

His mindset also went to extremes at that time!

"Weakness is the original sin. My brother became a victim because he was too weak. I will become someone stronger than anyone else!!!"

Even though he knew that Long Shi was also a victim of this clan, he could never get rid of his obsession!

Perhaps he himself understood that this hatred could not be vented on his own clan, so it could only be borne by the Dragon Clan!

"If only the Dragon Style hadn't appeared!! My brother wouldn't have died!!!"

He numbed himself with lies he couldn't even believe, turning himself into a mere cultivation machine!

He created the 'Great Circulation Breathing Method' to match the Eight Gates.

The blood and qi of the eight gates can be freely controlled and released to form an internal circulation, creating an almost infinitely extended process of the eight gates.

But one's life force is ultimately finite; no matter how much one conserves energy, there will eventually come a day when it runs out.

But he no longer cared.

"Human life is fleeting, like grass and trees in autumn; we all must die sooner or later. Compared to the vast天地 (heaven and earth), we are nothing more than grass and trees!"

Driven by this belief, he cultivated diligently for a thousand years. When he came to his senses, he was already the strongest user of the Eight Gates in history!

On the day he succeeded, he and Long Shi... had a duel.

As a result, Masato suffered a crushing defeat.

Masato only wanted to die, but Ryushiki sat beside him and entrusted him with Masato's last words before his death.

"Did my brother really say that before he died?"

“It’s absolutely true, I can guarantee it. Tensato’s soul has been reincarnated in a certain place in Ashihara Province. If possible, I would like to find him and see how he is doing.”

"Masato, it's too early for you to be begging for death. This is nothing yet. Your potential is far from being fully realized. Keep getting stronger, and who knows, you might actually have a chance to kill me. Let's do it!"

"Is this what they call the composure of those in power? To me, it's humiliating. Don't look down on me! Give me a quick death!!!"

"No, I'm not serious..."

Long Shi stood up, took three steps, turned around, and revealed a playful smile.

"If all else fails, you can always outlive me and then go clubbing on my grave..."

Masato cursed, "What an infuriating little dwarf!"

Long Shi waved his hand dismissively with a laugh: "Hahaha, life is about laughing at others and then letting others laugh at you. Seeing how energetic you are, I'm relieved..."

Masato gazed at the starry sky, confronting his own inner self for the first time.

He discovered that he didn't hate the Dragon Style as much anymore.

"Will I ever really see my brother again someday?"

……

Gazing at the shattered remains of the Heavenly Battle, Mosato sighed indifferently, "Time, in the end, has eroded our spirits. If we will never meet again, then there will be no disappointment..."

"But if only I had noticed it sooner, the bitterness behind your smile, would things be different now..."

boom……!!!

The aura emanating from the horizon interrupted Mosato's thoughts, and he looked up at the source of the overwhelming blood in the heavens!

Mighty stood tall, thundering through the sky.

"—Junior Brother Tiandou, you have followed your will. Now it is my turn to follow my ninja way!"

Chapter 1096 Clash of Heaven and Earth, Extreme Explosion

Without any unnecessary pulling, Guy's Eight Gates chakra erupted to an astonishing degree, then immediately contracted, transforming into a blood-red cocoon.

Click!Click!

The blood cocoon bursts open, and the crimson butterfly unfolds its magnificent wings!

The Blood Butterfly Mode of Death Gate is a deadly secret technique used in the capital during the battle between Kai and Ryu-shiki three years ago!

Three years of honing have brought Kai's Blood Butterfly model to near perfection!

Similarly, the "Reverse Butterfly" that once caused "pain" to the Dragon Style, which possessed a body of 100% power, has now become one of the Eight Gates standard techniques, just like the Evening Elephant!

Mosato stared intently and said, "No wonder you dared to engage me in a war of attrition. Your mastery of the Eight Gates surpasses that of your junior brother. The difference in mastery can even compensate for the difference in your basic strength. In other words, you are more threatening than Shenzuo Tiandou. But you should know perfectly well that you are no match for me..."

"..." Kai was speechless. The blood butterfly flapped its wings, and a storm swept through, causing the surrounding spacetime to become chaotic from a single point to a broader area!

Because Takamagahara and Mizuki-no-kuni are located in different dimensions, Kai's Reverse Butterfly can only affect local spacetime.

But... its power will only increase!

Might Guy clenched his fist and gathered his strength. Whoosh! The chaotic spacetime transformed into a turbid gel and rushed into his fist!

This area has been emptied out, turned into blank space... That is 'nothingness,' where there is no longer any concept of space or time!

Whoosh! In the next instant, he appeared above Masato's head without warning!!

Without a trajectory, it leaps directly through space—this is the Reverse Butterfly!

Matt Kai let out a beastly roar!

—The Reverse Butterfly!!!

—Blood Demon Armguard!

Masato intertwined his arms, and the blood energy of the Eight Gates condensed into a substantial arm armor!

boom!!!

Kai's Reverse Butterfly Fist struck the arm armor squarely; its toughness was already very close to that of a Vajra Body at its full power!

Kai's wings struck the air, and his furious fist propelled Masato towards the Tongtian River, which surged forth from the point where the island had crumbled!

To prevent members of the branch family from defecting, King Chuigen set up a restriction in the Tongtian River. No matter how strong you are, if you are identified as a member of the branch family, you will die if you fall into the water!

This is the solution Kai found to break the deadlock, even though he knew he was no match for Kai in terms of raw strength!

Mosato's pupils suddenly dilated: "Playing this trick? But this Tongtian River water is not only deadly to our clan's branch families, but also has a deadly effect on those who are not of our kind!!"

Matt Kai declared resolutely, "To exchange my life for yours is absolutely worth it!!!"

"Stop joking around, with your abilities..."
