Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Lin Yu suddenly said, "White Snake Immortal, at this moment we owe each other nothing, which means we are on equal footing. I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it..."

The killing intent in the White Snake Immortal's eyes subsided slightly, and he said with interest, "A suggestion? Hmph, interesting, I'll listen..."

Lin Yu placed one hand on his waist and raised the other, exuding an aura of authority, and said, "You teach humans immortal techniques simply to find powerful humans to serve you and expand the power of Dragon Land Cave. But expanding power doesn't necessarily mean recruiting subordinates. It can also be achieved by forming alliances, can't it?"

Lin Yu turned around, his back to the White Snake Immortal: "We can establish a strategic partnership, advancing and retreating together. The difference is that we are equals, not one side being dominant and the other subservient."

The White Snake Immortal chuckled: "Hahahaha! Do you know what you're saying? You, as a human, have a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, while I, as an immortal, have a lifespan of up to a thousand years. Is it necessary for me to take risks just to gain a temporary ally?"

Lin Yu turned his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "There are as many methods as you want to achieve immortality..."

"Hmm?" The White Snake Immortal's pupils narrowed slightly: This kid's tone didn't sound like he was just spouting nonsense...

“You can choose to kill me now, but you will inevitably lose a powerful ally in the future, or even… a backer.”

Lin Yu turned around, looking directly into the golden vertical pupils of the White Serpent Sage above him, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "Having lived for over a thousand years, you couldn't possibly not know who this ninja world originated from. And that origin itself is not unique. The scales and claws from beyond the heavens will sooner or later wreak havoc on the world. At that time, not only humans, but even you reclusive long-lived beings will not be spared..."

The White Snake Immortal's golden vertical pupils gleamed with an eerie light: "Boy, who exactly are you...?"

Lin Yu declared firmly, "I am Uchiha Yu, who knows the truth of this world, and I am the only human you can rely on. The fact that I can overcome all obstacles, stand before you, and say these words is the most powerful proof..."

The White Snake Immortal stared at Lin Yu for a long time, the killing intent in his eyes finally completely subsiding.

"Behind this temple is a 'Dragon Transformation Immortal Mountain,' used by those who have undergone trials of immortal power to comprehend Sage Mode. You and Orochimaru go there and let me see what you can do. If you don't meet my expectations, no matter how eloquently you speak, you'll die here..."

"Thank you," Lin Yu said with a faint smile.

"Snake Princess, take them there."

"Yes, Mother!" Snake Queen bowed and turned around, coldly saying, "You, come with me."

Hualong Immortal Mountain is the place with the most abundant natural energy in the entire Longdi Cave. It is no exaggeration to say that the small snakes crawling around here have considerable immortal power residing in their bodies... This also makes them extremely violent, and they fight each other all day long.

But when Lin Yu arrived, the fighting snakes scattered like birds and beasts, retreating to their nests trembling, leaving behind the corpses of their companions scattered on the ground, and messy bite marks on the trees and rocks...

Never before has a trial participant unleashed such terrifying immortal power upon arrival...

Lin Yu ignored all of this, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and fell into a long period of meditation.

Orochimaru sat several hundred meters away, because as soon as he approached Lin Yu, the immortal power within him surged into Lin Yu's body like a river yearning to return to the sea...

"Yu-kun, what kind of form will you take when you complete Sage Mode? I'm more curious about you than I am about myself..." Orochimaru murmured, closing his eyes.

Inside the temple.

The smoke exhaled by the White Snake Immortal rose and reflected the scene of the Dragon Transformation Immortal Mountain.

Sitting down, Snake Princess said, "Grandma, why do you tolerate such an unreasonable human? Why not just withdraw your immortal power and kill him?"

The White Snake Immortal said, "Killing them is easy, but I don't believe that a third trial participant with this level of talent could appear..."

The Snake Princess was startled: "So, he's the second one! Then who was the first?"

The White Snake Sage's gaze was deep, as if looking through the long years: "It was probably several decades ago, before you were born, when a human found Ryuchi Cave. He also possessed the power of Wood Release, and his name was... Hashirama Senju."

The Snake Princess sat to the side, her little hand supporting her cheek, like a child listening to an old lady tell a story: "Uh, I've never heard of that before."

"Hmph, that kid seems to be quite famous among humans, known as... the God of Shinobi. When he arrived, he already possessed the two great Sage Techniques, Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myōboku..."

Snake Princess exclaimed in surprise: "Oh! What audacity! He learned magic from his maternal family and still dared to set foot in Dragon Cave! Granny, didn't you kill him on the spot?!"

"No, that human was much more polite than this kid (Lin Yu). He bowed to me solemnly and said he wanted to obtain this power to end the war and create a peaceful world for everyone, including us foreign races who have occupied human lands for many years..."

"On a whim, I agreed to teach him the Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique. He quickly mastered this power and even did something unprecedented: he combined the Ryuchi Cave Transformation Sage Technique, the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique, the Silent Sage Technique, and the Myoboku Mountain Harmonizing Sage Technique with his own powerful chakra, creating the unprecedented and unparalleled 'Free and Easy Sage Technique'."

Yes, the Free Sage Technique—is the essence of Hashirama Senju's 'Wood Release Sage Technique'!

"Are there really such powerful humans?" Snake Princess exclaimed in astonishment.

"I heard that after that, he really quelled the chaos and restored order. But he was still human after all and could not escape the passage of time. I thought there would never be another genius who could make me break the rules. I never expected that he would actually appear... Although he did not possess two kinds of Sage Techniques, he had Wood Release and Sharingan, two forbidden powers. This is simply... So, I want to take a gamble on him."

The White Snake Immortal flicked his cigarette ash, and the image formed by the smoke in mid-air flickered and became clear again...

Time slipped away quietly, and another month passed in Ryongji Cave.

On the Immortal Mountain of Transformation Dragon.

"I clearly felt that the natural energy was like a part of my body, able to gather and disperse according to my will..."

Lin Yu murmured with his eyes closed, dark purple eyeshadow covering his pupils, with a smudge at the corner of each eye extending downwards to the wings of his nose. The natural energy in this world, like countless rivers flowing into the sea, seemed to cease without ever overflowing...

A moment of upheaval has arrived!

Chapter 120 Dragon Cave Immortal Mode, Complete!

The immense natural celestial power entered his body and merged with the pure celestial power Lin Yu absorbed from the White Snake Sage, increasing the amount of his celestial chakra several times over.

When this Sage Chakra, which had grown several times stronger, merged with Lin Yu's own massive Hashirama Chakra, it underwent a qualitative leap, transforming from emerald green to silver!

The horns on Lin Yu's forehead grew larger, bursting through the mask and revealing his true face. His long hair moved without wind, as if shrouded in silver fluorescence, and grew all the way down his back...

The excessive immortal power overflowed from his body, and in order to stabilize it, it transformed into nine silver snakes that coiled around him and danced wildly.

The moment Lin Yu opened his eyes...

boom!!!

A storm of silver Sage Chakra howled across the mountaintop...

Hundreds of meters away, Orochimaru covered his face with his hands, marveling at the sheer power: "What incredible strength this is..."

Inside the temple.

"Mother-in-law, this..."

The White Snake Sage stared intently at the image above with his vertical pupils: "I have never seen anyone cultivate the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode to such perfection. The ninja world truly is full of talented people..."

Lin Yu gazed at his Sage Mode form and murmured, "Just how strong am I now?"

Looking up into the distance, Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru, use your strongest power to attack me!"

"It seems that Yu-kun is already impatient. Very well..." Orochimaru smiled eagerly.

Whoosh! Emerald green celestial energy swirled around him. Although his own chakra was strong, it wasn't strong enough to change the color of his celestial chakra, so it remained the original green!

Snap! Snap! A pair of curved horns emerged from his temples, two canine teeth grew out and protruded beyond his lips, and many cracks appeared on the surface of his skin...

"Roar!" Orochimaru's emotions were clearly heightened. He ripped off his shirt, and four white phosphorescent serpents grew from his back. Their bodies grew larger as they swayed from side to side, their golden vertical pupils gleaming, and their long tongues flicking out!

Lin Yu murmured, "Oh~ four companion celestial snakes, in this form, they are far more powerful than Kabuto Yakushi was back then..."

Whoosh! Orochimaru's hands moved in a flurry of hand seals as he took a deep breath!

Sage Art: Wind Release - Ultimate Breakthrough!

Boom! Orochimaru opened his mouth and unleashed an extremely powerful wind pillar. The four sage snakes beside him opened their mouths at the same time, spewing out four powerful wind pillars that intertwined with it, like a white rainbow shooting towards the other side. The powerful wind pressure was enough to immobilize enemies hundreds of meters away. It was an extremely powerful Sage Art Wind Release Technique that could not be dodged!

"A Sage Mode version of Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, alright..." Lin Yu's lips curled into a smirk, his hands formed hand seals, his chest bulged, and a high-pressure water wave shot from his mouth, instantly shattering the wind pillar in front of him and heading straight for Orochimaru...

"Huh!?" Orochimaru was startled, but in Sage Mode, his senses were extraordinary. He quickly dodged to the side, and a snake's head beside him was hit by a wave of water and exploded into a pulp...

Lin Yu looked up, and the water rippled up, erasing a white cloud from the sky!

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave, with the blessing of Yu-jun's powerful immortal energy, it has the power to pierce through clouds and break through the dawn... It's truly terrifying!" Orochimaru gazed at the sky, speaking in a mysterious and enigmatic manner.

Lin Yu murmured, "Let's name this move 'Immortal Technique: Water Escape: Cloud Piercing Wave'..."

Whoosh! With the replenishment of natural power, the Sage Snake beside Orochimaru, which had been defeated, was restored.

This is the terrifying aspect of Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode: it allows one to continuously absorb sage power during battle...

"The difference between my Immortal Mode and Yu Jun's is too great. It seems that if I use ordinary immortal techniques again, I will only be crushed like before. I'll just have to use my trump card..."

Whoosh! Orochimaru formed hand seals again.

Rumble! ...

Suddenly, Mount Hualong trembled, a colossal shadow enveloped the earth, and eight serpent bodies intertwined in a dazzling display…

Lin Yu looked up at the enormous eight-headed serpent monster, hundreds of meters away, which filled his entire field of vision, and murmured, "The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, no, it should be called 'Immortal Technique: Eight-Headed Serpent Technique'... because this monster is continuously absorbing the power of nature!"

Boom! Boom!

As a massive influx of natural power surged in, the Yamata no Orochi grew to an incredibly exaggerated size.

The eight snake heads drew closer, opened their mouths together, and released Sage Chakra.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!! The chakra gathered into a sphere, which expanded to several meters in diameter before compressing, eventually becoming a dark purple chakra sphere with a diameter of half a meter.

Lin Yu gazed at it from afar, his eyes narrowing: "The chakra concentrated in this sphere is so powerful that it even surpasses the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball. Perhaps only the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball can surpass it. Is this Orochimaru's strongest Eight-Headed Serpent Technique? If Itachi hadn't had the Totsuka Blade back then, it would be hard to predict who would win... However, this is what makes it worth testing!"

Lin Yu smiled and opened his right hand. Of the nine silver snakes that were coiled around him, three of them came to his palm and released silver chakra.

With snakes releasing chakra in his place, Lin Yu can focus more on the nature and form changes of chakra!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The silver Rasengan in Lin Yu's hand spun, generating wind blades and emitting a sharp shriek. As the nature of his chakra changed, its core transformed...

A fiery red, like the flames of a volcano!

With the further infusion of Sage Chakra, the core rapidly expanded.

Boom! The dark purple chakra ball, trailing a fiery tail like a meteor, shot towards Lin Yu...

——Immortal method·Baqi Dayama!

Lin Yu raised the crimson chakra shuriken, which had expanded to its maximum size, high above his head and threw it at the purple ball falling from the sky.

—Sage Art: Fire Release: Super Giant Rasenshuriken!

boom!!!

The super-sized Rasenshuriken collided with the Yamata no Taisho, exploding into a fiery whirlwind that roared across the sky. The heat caused the temperature in this area to rise sharply, dark clouds loomed, and muffled thunder rumbled among the clouds...

Orochimaru emerged from the middle of his snake mouth, looking at Lin Yu and saying, "You casually unleashed a Fire Release Sage Technique with power comparable to the Orochi Orochi Ball. Yu-kun, your power increase is truly terrifying. However, my Orochi Technique in Sage Mode won't be defeated so easily..."

"That's not necessarily true. You should look at the top of your head..." Lin Yu said.

"Huh?" Orochimaru looked up at Lin Yu's words, exclaiming in shock, "This!? This is!! The flames just now were actually used for this purpose!!!"

*Snap!* Lin Yu raised his hand, which was covered in lightning, and muttered, "So this is the Natural Lightning Release that Sasuke was once so proud of? It doesn't seem that impressive. I can easily make it stronger than his..."

Crackling and popping! Thousands of lightning bolts converged high in the sky, transforming into a giant lightning dragon!

Lin Yu's hand, covered in lightning, descended.
